The Beach



This is where we live





A few more snaps of where we live to show you all!

Luna Park




I took these at Luna Park yesterday (Sunday). It's a really old kinda creepy theme park, and as the weather wasn't really that great I thought it might make some nice photo opportunities. Entry to the park itself is free, then you pay for tickets to go on each of the rides. I didn't actually go on any of the rides, going to save that for a more summery day I think!

Cheeky purchases

Hello!

So we finally have our internet sorted in the flat woohoo! No more skanky internet cafe! I'll hopefully be able to update this blog a lot more now, it's something I really want to do so I'm going to try my best to be a good blogger and update it frequently!

Still don't think I'm used to the prices of clothes over here, I keep trying to find somewhere similar in price and style to trusty H&M (my friends at home know how much I love it!) but no luck whatsoever. So when I discovered Love online only last week (I know, I can't believe it took me this long to have a look either!) I couldn't help but spend a little amount.



These two beauties are currently on their way to me! The prices are very reasonable, especially as they were running a £10 credit promotion and I had the wrap dress in my basket for a couple of days so they sent me a 20% off code to use on it! Amazing! AND to top it off, free delivery! How could I say no? I'm already eyeing up a few more items on the site!

Little bit worried that when they arrive Glyn won't be very impressed with me as neither of us have jobs yet, but we still have enough funds for the important things like food and rent, so I figured it would be ok. Oops!

Has anyone bought things from Love before? Any Australians who may happen to read this - can you recommend me some good, well-priced places to shop?

Quick Update

Hey guys!

Sorry I haven't posted in the last few days, but thought I would quickly write what's going on to keep you informed!

Having just moved into a little studio in Melbourne, we haven't got any internet yet at home, and are therefore having to use little internet cafes at the moment, mainly to look for jobs and keep in contact with family and friends back home. So apologies for this, we've sorted out internet but it won't be up and running for another 2 weeks or so! (Can't believe it takes that long but there you go!)

Hope everyone's good, and in a couple of weeks time I should hopefully have a lot of exciting things to blog about! :)

Outfit of the day... (yesterday)




T-shirt - H&M
Jeggings - H&M
Necklace - H&M
Rings - H&M
Boots - Topshop

So this is what I wore yesterday to go for a wander and bit of shopping in the city, nothing special, just pure comfort! As we're still in the hostel we're having to pretty much live out of bags which I hate, and therefore end up just opting for oversized tee's and leggings or jeans most days at the moment! Not all that exciting I know, but just thought I would at least get started with the outfit posts.
We've put in another application for a flat today, fingers crossed we get somewhere soon, we are both VERY fed up with this tiny hostel room!

Monument





Hey guys!
The clocks went forward an hour here on Sunday, summer is coming! This meant obviously that it stayed lighter a bit longer, so yesterday evening Glyn and I decided to go and investigate what this strange building was as we kept seeing it from the tram but had no idea what it actually was.
Turns out it's a war memorial site, and the building in the top photograph is a shrine. It shut at 5pm so we didn't actually go in, but had a nice little walk around the park around it. Glyn took some outfit photos for me which I'll put up in a bit :)

Has the heatwave in the UK ended yet? Doesn't seem fair that as soon as we leave England it gets the best weather of the year haha!

Counter Revolution

Hello!
So yesterday I persuaded Glyn into coming to an all day gig with me in the city. It worked out quite well I thought as we managed to get cheaper tickets because we bought them off people last minute, so instead of paying $200 we paid $130 for 2 tickets :) (around £80 for 2 tickets!)

It was a really long day and we had a break in the middle for an hour where we went to the pub because Glyn was really NOT impressed. I loved it though! Got to see D.R.U.G.S for the first time who were awesome, plus got to see favourites like Yellowcard, Funeral For a Friend, All Time Low etc. A nice surprise was HelloGoodbye - who knew they had a totally different sound now?! Even Glyn sort of approved!

I was also quite surprised by Panic! At The Disco, they headlined and we only watched a few songs of their set, but they sounded amazing! I really wasn't sure what to expect, I used to love them but had never seen them live before and for some reason I just imagined they would sound awful live. They definitely proved me wrong!

Sorry there's no photos, I wasn't sure on the venues policy for cameras and as mines an SLR I didn't want to risk it being confiscated if I tried to take it in. Shame really cos the lighting was so good I could have got some nice shots!

If anyone reads this who went, who was your favourite? :)
Hope everyone has a good weekend!
