(Floral Lace Jacket: Vintage, Pink Slip: Vintage, Suede Ankle Boots: Thrifted)

This was what i wore the first day of Splendour in the Grass. Unfortunately we hardly took any photos over the weekend so please excuse this weak attempt at an outfit post. The sudden heat wave really took us by surprise and left me running around in a simple pink slip for most of the day, leaving the majority of girls pretty confused as what to wear for the rest of the weekend. This lace jacket was one of the many amazing things i picked up at the vintage auctions i went to before i left. It's heavily detailed with intricate small flowers, beads, sequins and has beautiful sheer sleeves to boot. Probably not entirely suitable for a three day camping festival but i ran it anyway.

Highlights of the weekend? Florence and the Machine, The Strokes, Passion Pit, and actually having the chance to meet some of you. Not being covered in head to toe mud was also a surprising bonus. We also ran into Bambi standing in the crowd at the end of the night and i almost died when we started talking. I think she asked something along the lines of where we were from and kindly obliged to a quick (fan) photo. Honestly, i don't even care how bland i look standing next to those piercing blue eyes and beautifully shaped eyebrows, this girl is, and looked, amazing and was absolutely killing it.

And i can finally say that i've returned to full health after battling the first (and only) cold i've had all year. Thank god there's only 3 weeks left of Winter, i'm loving this sunlight and i'm feeling inspired to go take some much overdue photos outside. I'm thinking something bambi inspired after the weekend and i already have a few exciting ideas.

And yes, this would be the first time i've been inspired by a model to style an entire photoshoot. Oh bambi, look what you've done to me...

  16. You got to go to Splendour while I was wasting away with my HSC. Lucky girl. Lucky, lucky girl.

    I died a few months back because I missed out on Florence + the Machine tickets...and then I realised it was the night before my maths exam. Life is unfair.

    Looking gorgeous as always!
