supermoon

Posted on April 30th, 2013

When I was younger I thought I was going to be an astronomer when I grew up. This stemmed from my fascination for the stars, the light of the moon and the overwhleming thought of infinite space. As I grew up I quickly found out after studying Biology that being an astronomer wasn't for me, but my fascination for the constellations never faded in the slightest. On nights like these it's hard not to feel like my younger self again as I sit here in awe of the universe's subtle beauty. The only difference now is I'm not sitting on my driveway star gazing alone, but instead joined by my love at the beach while I catch glimpses of his smiling face in the silver moonlight as it's being cast across the ocean by this absurdly beautiful moon. Technically it wasn't a supermoon, but I mixed photos we took the other night of this larger-than-normal-sized-moon with photos Luke took of the supermoon last year. Can you even spot the difference?

ASOS Dress / Jennifer Zeuner Clover Bracelet / Pink Lou Lou Clover Ring / Natalie Marie Initial Ring / Jennifer Zeuner Necklace / Charlotte Olympia Clutch / Sergio Rossi Heels

I'm not going to lie, sometimes Asos can be a hit or miss. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Asos but sometimes a piece will arrive that looks different to what I saw online. I've found the quality of the product is usually reflected in the price you pay when shopping on Asos but more often than not you'll find a complete gem on that website. This dress being one of them considering the high quality and high rotation it's been on since it arrived.

I wore this dress on the last day of MBFWA in Sydney and people couldn't tell the difference between this floral dress and the similar print I wore in yellow earlier in the week. Even street style photographers like Phil and Tommy exclaimed "Shut Up!" when I told them it was Asos. The lady like length and matching belt nearly overshadowed the hidden pockets but considering how much I fiddle with my hands and crack my knuckles when I'm anxious the pockets clearly won as this habit was well and truly kicking in as MBFWA started to draw to an end.

I thought life would become calmer now that MBFWA and my presenting duties were over but it's actually just the beginning. A lot coming up in the next few weeks and to be honest I feel like I'm just trying to keep my head above water in the lead up to it. Can't wait to share more on this soon! But for now, let's look at photos of me opening and closing my clutch which is a lot trickier to do than you would think. Damn magnetic clasps, you've diminished whatever pride I had left of my little to none upper body strength.
