Weekend Getaway Wellington

So about a month ago now Ryan and I flew down to Wellington for my cousins 21st. Aside from the fact that Ryan got to meet the side of the family I am probably closest with, he had also never been to Wellington, which is the Capital City in New Zealand.

I love Wellington. When I was younger I used to fly down every September holidays for a week and stay with my cousins. I loved that because it meant a week full of mini putt, bowling, movies and staying up late. However as I have gotten older I have developed a different appreciation for the City.

The contrast of new contemparary buildings standing up against old characteristic creations is beautiful to me. When people watching you notice a lot more unique individuals, the city tends to encourage developing your own style and individuality. The city is also right on the waterfront practically as well, which in some ways I feel gives the city a relaxed and modern vibe. Needless to say I love it and I thought I would just put together a bit of a photo diary to showcase this little getaway.

The Disney Tag

If you only follow me on Bloglovin you may not know that I have also started a Youtube channel.
My Best Friend and I recently did the Disney Tag and I thought this would be much more fun and lively in video format than blog post.

Enjoy if you will, and don't forget to subscribe and leave video suggestions in the comments! Let me know that my blog sent you there!

ASOS Wardrobe Wishlist

So it's been a wee while since I've posted! Mainly due to being super busy with life and shenanigans, but also due to the lack of ideas and inspo. However I have been cleaning out my wardrobe recently and selling my clothes at the local markets (love it!), and it has become clear to me that my wardrobe is in dire need of a spruce up!

I tend to often stick to plain, comfy, monochromes, but I am urging myself to delve into prints and patterns and actually embrace the trends I admire from afar.

I have taken to ASOS for inspo! I am convinced that ASOS is my second home. I can spend hours scrolling through the categories and have an unhealthy addiction of over filling my "saved" basket with countless items.

Below is a wee taste of my current wishlist, categorised into specific trends and prints I have been obsessing over.

Floral:

I have had much love in the past for floral prints, yet recently the trend seems to be a bit on and off in my mind. However I am loving the following items.

See By Chloe, Floral Swing Vest , Asos, Dreamer Plimsolls , Motel, Nadine Pinafore in Museum Floral , Asos Reclaimed Vintage, Crop Top in Daisy Floral

Stripes & Grids:

I will forever love the simplicity yet trendiness of stripes! I love how they can turn a plain outfit into a fashion statement and so easy to wear! I'm also a wee bit obsessed with grid patterns at the moment if you couldn't tell.

Asos, Grid Print Balloon Sleeve Shirt , Vila, Grid Print Mini Skirt , Asos, Long Sleeve Off The Shoulder in Stripe , Asos, Scuba Shift Dress in Check

Boho:

Again this is a trend that I believe floats in and out of our favourite fashion magazines quite frequently, but this time round I am a wee bit obsessed! I love all the white off the shoulder or cut out shoulder, beach cover up dresses. The big sleeves, and detailed prints. Love it. Want it... All. 

Glamorous, Off the Shoulder Folk Blouse in Tile , Glamorous, Off Should Dress in Border ,

Glamorous, Cold Shoulder Tile Print Dress , Asos Reclaimed Vintage, Smock Dress in Red Tulip

Fun Lovin':

I was unsure what to call this section. I just think it's FUN! I'm loving all the Disney and childish-esk prints that are basically hidden gems within the ASOS site. A bit out there some of them but definitely brighten up your OOTD.

Wildfox, T-Shirt with Barbie and Cotton Candy Scent , Asos, Tunic with Mickey and Minnie Front and Back Print , Eleven Paris, Tinkerbell Dress , Asos, Cropped Sweatshirt with All Over Barbie Print

Animal Print:

Finally is the classic animal print. I have never been a fan of it to be honest. However I have eased into it with my love for animal print shoes as a pop of print paired with a black skirt or jeans. But am now on the look for a perfect animal print tee or jumper, braving new waters you could say! 

House of Holland, Drape Dress with Zebra Back , Asos Curve, Sweatshirt in Super Soft Animal , Asos Curve, Rib T-Shirt in Animal Print , Vila, Boat Neck Top in Abstract Print

Let me know what you've been eyeing up on Asos recently in the comments below!
