corona

old stripe top, h&m hat which is now wrecked cos I stuffed it in my suitcase too many times, Vintage rings

Tasty burito's washed down with some Corona in Kings Cross, Sydney. I swear I could eat mexican food everyday. I love home-made guacamole it's so much better than that jar shit and its so easy to make.
I seriously love this top but it has this wierd stain on it that you can only see in certain light, its coffee or something but it never stops me wearing it.

White top made by me, black top worn underneath Stussy, sunglasses from Hamilton Island, watch casio

Photos taken from a road trip of both the Great Ocean Road and the drive between Melbourne and Sydney. Australia's coast line is absolutely stunning.

More photos on my other blog COCONUTTRAVELS

who's the where

Some more of the amazingness of Melbourne. I go back in a couple of weeks and I can't wait, it really is a wicked city. Walking around is a colourful experience with all the alleys filled with some of the best street art in the world.

I'm wearing a madonna vest my sister bought me and a black sarong skirt thing- which doesn't work that well when it's windy and I always end up either flashing or having to go change.

It's hard living out of a suitcase, I am bored of all my clothing, everything is always screwed up-me and the iron are just not friends.

there are no words just smells

So far 2010 has not been my best year at blogging, I have been in Australia since October and so far my 'blogging' (hate that word) has been sporadic at best. I have 2 blogs and I am sad to say that any internet time I have had dedicated to 'blogging' (seriously hate that word) has mostly been spent on my other blog COCONUT TRAVELS - and I am 2 months behind on that too. So please accept my sincere apologies and I hope that I can be a little more consistent with my posting on BLONDE ON BLACK .

I just got back from a magical trip to Fiji. It was absolutely beautiful, the sky was like a dream it had the most beautiful sunsets when the it would turn all kinds of shades of pink, and at sunrise it became a deep orange as the sun came up over the mountains. Each night there was countless stars in the midnight blue sky, and even on the rare occasion in the late afternoon when the usually bright blue sky became overcast it looked like it belonged to story about mythical creatures.

I am now in Sydney for the next 3 weeks so any Sydney-siders have any tips or must-do's please let me know, the Lonely Planet guide book is great but you can't beat inside advice.

Obviously the picture in this post are not from Fiji, the top and bottom photos are from London and the middle one is of the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted from Ganache in Melbourne. This is what I am craving right now, the sweetness tantalising my taste buds, the richness filling my mouth, the velvety texture satisfying my throat and the slightly sticky essence left behind on my lips tempting me for another sip. It's 9:30 am and all I can think of is HOT CHOCOLATE.

Melbourne

Hanging out in one of my new favourite cities. Melbourne is alive with backstreet culture, heaven for a foodie and a shoppers dream. Getting to grips with the indecisive weather and looking forward to tonnes more exploring.

in the strangest of places

I never normally look to Will Smith films for fashion inspiration but hot damn the fashion in this film has been overlooked- Tea Leoni plays badass Julie and her wardrobe is SIICCCkkk. Best boots ever. kickass jewellery. striped dress. shortest skirts. and attitude too boot.

Hope you everyone had an awesome christmas, mine was spent in the sunshine-a first for me- lounging by the pool and eating seafood. bliss.

if i were joking

Still hanging out in Australia, kicking back at the beaches day or night and soaking up the summer sun. These photos were taken way over a month back when we were on the Gold Coast- i'm seriously behind with posting stuff. These days you can find me in the Whitsundays until January when we head to MELBOURNE. Seriously excited. Hit me up with any tips or places I should check out whilst I'm there.

I'm not normally a flip flop kid but this chick makes me wanna wear my Havaianas all the time.

the end of the day when the birds come out to sing

Didn't have the internet for a while including over my birthday so couldn't skype my parents back home in London which really sucked, so instead had to stick to the conventional method of the telephone. However I am back on line now catching up with my emails, another year older.

These photos were taken a few weeks back in Broadbeach on the Gold Coast in Queensland, my Mum said to me the other day that in all the photos I'm always wearing black so here I am again Mum in all black true to form. It's a hard habit to break.

me and my home girl

In my favourite velour leopard print dress with my favourite hot chick.

shake shake shake shake shake shake it

WILDFOX ss10

I think wildfox rocks, i always love their look-books, they represent the clothes so well. The girls in the photos look like they are having a blast, makes me wanna buy into this stuff. Wildfox does it what it does and it does it well! I find myself wearing black quite a lot, black white and leopard print. But today i am in the mood for colour so am gonna locate my inner wildfox and rock out.

walk in the woods

For the last two and half weeks I have been in Australia neglecting this blog, instead I have been posting on my other blog COCONUT TRAVELS. But alas I have returned to my beloved blog and here is a snippet of my spring time sunshine. I am seriously gutted about this long black dress I am wearing here because it seems to have shrunk in the wash, I have since fallen out with the washing machine who's fault it is because obviously it is not mine.

You give a little love and it all comes back to you la la la lala la la You know youre gonna be remembered for the things that you say and do

cut off Levis, madonna vest leaving gift from my sister, black ankle boots h&m.

Both my friend Katie and I are leaving London and going on our respective travels, she leaves tomorrow and I leave in 2 weeks. So Saturday night we went out to the bars we used to hang out in when we were 18.
We had half the dancefloor to ourselves and we danced danced danced to the old skool garage and songs fro different movies, when a song from Bugsy Malone came on Hayley and I danced our little socks off. It was a classic night and one for the history books.

shout out to charotte, immense love

This shirt belongs to my best friend Charlotte who has just set up what will be an awesome blog. She spent the summer in Ibiza and got back about 12 days ago and in18 days i head to Australia so trying to soak up as much time as i can with her. We met on the first day at uni (along with two other of my best friends Anna and Albertine) she had this amazing Mochino white sheer shirt with blue polka dots and a braid in her hair and we have been inseparable since, including living together for a short while which meant sharing a bed and me forcing her her to get up in the morning so we wouldn't be late for uni, she did my laundry and i made her breakfast it was a sweet deal. love you chick and i promise to return this short soon along with all the other shit I have borrowed!

hello lover. goodbye lover

POP TO THE topSHOP and baby get me these

going to see 500 days of summer tonight which im hoping will get me out of my blue day day. its not the mean reds though.

seriously looking forward to going to new zealand today after checking out the NZFW.

bare

I tried to give my nails a week free of nail polish. it sucked.

Managed to see the future classics show at London Fashion Week, love this stripey number. There was some awesome jersey pieces like these spats. I have had a look through some of the shows on style.com but I think overall NYFW impressed me more as a whole although there were some individual standouts at LFW. I'm watching the city and just noticed Olivia is wearing a dress that I own, which is kinda surprising as our style is pretty different

*****dont know why the pictures i had posted of future classics aren't showing....*********

armpit hair

so its not new but im rubbish at posting often

Unfortunately i am not in new york at fashion week like some other bloggers, but i hope to check out some of london fashion week. As always i adore Alexander Wang's new collection, seriously made me wanna go out and buy a khaki, grey and tan ensemble. I am now gonna try and locate that tan leather skirt my mums friend gave me and make it into a mini. I have been casually seasrching for an army style jacket for a while but i think i am going to try a little harder now, although im pretty sure it would be surplus to requirements whilst im in OZ. I also fell pretty hard for Erin Wassons x RVCA collection, so stoked that she actually had a catwalk show this time, her collection much like her own sense of style captures that casual rock aesthetic. VPL and Nicole Miller had some gorgeous pieces in their respective collections, both strong simple silhouettes. Charlotte Ronson did a killer collection with some mesh legging/shorts which im pretty certain will be copied. BCBG produced some desirebly jersey dresses with beautiful draping, mesh inserts and flashes of sequins. check out style.com for all the shows, knighttcat, le fashion and various other blogs are doing their own highlights.

coconut ice cream

black tshirt American apparel Sexuality T, boob tube dress worn as skirt american apparel, wedges faith, vintage backpack

Maybe one of the last days of english summer consisted of smoothies and sunbathing, barbecue and comfy separates from trusty american apparel and then a hunt for a bounty ice cream. I am addicted to coconut, i like to smell like a coconut.

I think i just ruined a pair off levi cut offs. crap crap.
