Functional Style

After endless searching for “the backpack of my dreams”, I have finally found it!

I had two main requirements; space and style. I also was conscious of professionalism, I needed a backpack that fitted a corporate setting rather than high school.

Alas, the bag is not only modern and stylish, but it is also functional and spacious.

The specific bag I bought is from EM.SEE, a boutique online bag store founded in Melbourne. What I love about this bag is that it is so versatile, I think it is also perfect for Uni. Where oh where were you 5 years ago when I needed you?

But nonetheless, I have finally found you, and I shall cherish you.

Be quick because it is limited stock and still on sale on its launch price $180 (it's usually $220)!

Playsuits: 5 ways to style

When in doubt, a playsuit (otherwise known as a romper) is one of the easiest things to fall back on. Like a dress you don't really need to worry about which top goes with which pants. You can throw on a playsuit and dress it around however you like. You can wear them with or without cute patterned tights depending on the weather. It's as easy as 1-2-3!

#1 Keeping it casual

Patterned playsuits are already the main focus which means you don't really have to worry about anything else. Keep everything else simple so throw on a denim or khaki jacket, a pair of comfy flats, sneakers or brogues and voila! You'll be looking cute whether it's for a picnic, a bike ride or a casual date.
