If you don't recognise the setting, my photographer and I found the nicest little gem of a spot directly in a construction site under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was extremely noisy so I'm glad (for our ear's sake) that photography is a silent media. If you're ever in Sydney, know that the view below the bridge is as enthralling as the conventional view of the bridge from a distance.
I'm still not very good at posing (but I'm learning) and the chemistry between my photographer and I is still developing but it's a great learning experience with every shoot. Honestly, one year ago I never thought I would be fashion blogging and now I'm still weirded out by the fact that I do it but I know that I've always had a passion for styling and making sure things are presentable. Things are still coming together for me but I can honestly say that this is something I simply love doing and a channel to express my creativity. So for anyone reading, it's absolutely vital that you take immediate steps to pursue things your interested in. Don't put it off, the idea of starting this scared me because I feel out of my depth and it's also something I know I need to put a lot of time into, but that's why it's something I feel like I should do. "If you're dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough."
My obsession with monochrome may become apparent to you soon, but just like my plaid outfit, I sometimes like to put focus on an element of the outfit that differs from the others, and with this outfit I'm trying to direct all the attention to the Chinga jacket's floral sleeve. The detailing extends to the yoke of the jacket and along the bottom hem. The vibe from the print is slightly oriental, but the overall look and feel of the outfit was inspired by my observation of LA street wear in February 2014.

When monster tasks need completing, a mysterious change occurs. Our priorities shift, once menial tasks are now imperative, and you may feel unlike yourself? Perhaps you’ve taken on what we'd like to call a procrastination alter-ego.
Our top 3 and tell-tale signs productivity may be neglected:
THE HOUSEKEEPER
It's impossible to work with clarity when a morsel of dust intrudes your desk. Your room needs to look like a Martha Stewart commercial before productivity can commence. You had been meaning to colour code your wardrobe and now is the optimal time. If you live with others, you are now described as the "best housemate ever" for your unsolicited housekeeping duties. A social media snap of a sparkling work space tops off the job.
THE HOBBYIST
Dormant interests ignite. Do you find yourself breathing the dust off your guitar and tickling the keys of your old Steinway? Some like to draw. Some like to knit. There is a sudden surge of procrastibaking and subsequently spontaneous macaroon parties on Facebook feeds. You need to catch up on Game of Thrones. Napping can be considered a hobby too, right?
THE PLANNER
More time is spent planning your productivity than on actual productivity. Yes, it is a good idea to make a checklist of checklists and a colour-coded study timetable. Retail therapy is now a double-win because your outfit for the post-exam party needs to be organised ASAP! You would also have greater focus if your upcoming holiday was completely organised to the tee.
I should be studying as I am blogging this...

It was about week 4 during the university semester and a group of my closest friends embarked on a journey around the USA. Unfortunately I could no go because I had work and university commitments. Crying a lot after my friends departed, I realised I had a gap in my assessment and work schedule for the first two weeks of September. This coincided with NYFW, my flight attendant bestie could get me a cheap ticket and it was also his birthday on September 1st... so essentially... I told myself I would regret it if I didn't take a leap of faith and just follow my heart to go to the city I had always dreamed of. I spent the next two weeks doing all my assessments early and getting work sorted. Traveling on a staff ticket was also stressful because I had to wait on standby and I actually got on the last empty seat on the plane!
I actually didn't do much on my first morning in NYC. The city's night life and a 24 hour flight had taken it's toll. After incubating in my hotel room for 24 hours, we headed to downtown New York to see Lady Liberty in action.
The ferry to actually get onto Liberty Island had 3hr wait so we opted to take the ferry to Staten Island instead because there was no wait time and you cruise right in front of the green lady anyway.
View of NYC from the ferry.
Everybody scrambling to get a good shot of the city from the south.
