the week

my week in review

a free blueberry blast because my name is Emma? Don't mind if I do!

Snapping shots in the car on the way to uni as the sun rises, pink lips and heavy lashes. Wore this blue scarf every day this week, am really obsessed with it. And don't worry, I was the passenger, wasn't taking photos while driving!

My everyday lunch at uni, a vegie pack chock full of carrots, celery, cucumber, almonds, walnuts, sultanas, dried apricots, cheese, rice crackers and a big strawberry. All served with a side of hommus, nom.

Drooled over Joy Cupcakes. Flavours like lavender honey, chocolate with marshmallow and pavlova had my heart racing, despite me not being a sweet tooth. Their store is along Southbank in Melbourne and also at Doncaster shoppingtown, where I'm heading next week to treat myself to one or two.

 My bestie and her fiance decided on a whim to drive down to our side of town (2 hrs away!) and stay the night over the weekend, and it was great to spend time just chilling with them. The next day we all went to Moomba, a free festival here in Melbourne that celebrates water skiing. Sitting by the river, eating poffertjes and watching the skiiers was a heavenly was to end a week, and getting a sleep in the next morning due to Labor Day was awesome :D

I spent most of my time this week studying for my last semester of uni, I am really enjoying the subjects I've chosen so am really happy.

Did you get up to anything exciting last week?

week in review

A random mix up of what I've been up to over the last week or so!

Gorgeous star cookies at my neices 6th birthday last weekend, which had a rock star theme. Stars hung from the ceiling and all the kids got their faces painted (I got a line of flowers up my arm) The weather was perfect and the party kicked on into the wee hours of the night with plenty of dancing and drinking (for the adults, of course!)

Been wearing these studs that are a cross between a cognac and champagne zirconia. Bought them a few weeks back when I visited the Queen Victoria Market, and since I usually wear my gold hoops it was nice to change it up a bit!

I was lucky enough to get tickets to ABC's First Tuesday Book Club taping with Jennifer Byrne (info here) and saw her interview Christos Tsiolkas. I adored his book The Slap, and it was interesting to hear him speak about the book, about writing and how it has changed his life. My best friend Candice came along with me and we had lunch at an amazing little place in Elsternwick (I'll be reviewing it soon) The above image is a blossom she plucked from a tree as we were walking. I'll be posting other photos from the day soon, because Candice looked amazing and I'll be showing you the makeup she had on.

Had an adventure to Doncaster and rocked my bug sunnies which were kindly sent to me from Fashion Addict...I think this is the longest a pair of sunglasses have lasted for me, so I am very impressed! I'm planning on buying some scarves from them soon too, and for all of my international readers the amazing Australian brand Face of Australia is online there for you to purchase too! Hop to it! Have also fallen back in love with MAC Ever Hip, which is on zee lips in the above image.

While at Doncaster, I spent the Westfield voucher I had kicking around at Mecca. A little Mecca hauling never goes astray, especially when it's my first real taste of Nars!

So that is pretty much the highlights of my week, I spent a lot of time writing assignments and catching up on readings so it was nice to spend time with family and friends (and with Mecca Cosmetica)
