itgirlz May Alty/Pop Playlist

It's been a mad couple of weeks with exams/naplan etc. but today marks my first day of freedom aka braindead-ness. Today was such an awesome day, the sun is still out here in Australia at 24 degrees one week before winter! I'm loving it - almost as much as I'm loving my winter uniform. Not. 

Anyway here's my very first Grooveshark playlist, inspired by Lost But Not Found Blog! Expect some chilled alty pop to celebrate two blissful stockings-free-days. 

Don't forget to stop by my Instagram for updates tinted by my new found love for VSCO Cam! I'm super close to 400 followers! Go follow now!

Paisley



*troll face*
I'm clinging onto summer. The sky is blue here, softening the cool temps. I'm headed off to an engagememt party. I've never been to one of these, or a wedding for that matter. I didn't really know what to wear...

I just couldn't go past this awesome shift dress. I'm loving the pops of purple in this number. Purple is everywhere at the moment, from food to furniture - and I'm loving it!! I've got a purple post in the works, so keep a look out. 

Speaking of things you don't want to miss, I'm back on Twitter! I actually love it because I'm such a chatterbox, and I can constantly talk to the entire world, or just myself (without looking weird). My username is the sane as my Instagram, @zolablog

Good luck to anyone doing NAPLAN this week!

But now, my winter clothes haul. I've never done a haul before!! So, here goes.

April in Photos

 It's my first ever month in photos post! These are so popular, and look like so so much fun. So, here's a look into my month that was. 
 Hot chocolate season began! I indulged in my most favourite Max Brenner peppermint hot chocolate. I just wish I had these secret recipes to make at home!
 New glasses!! I'm just loving the shape of these, their so fresh. Also, the colour goes with E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G, which is totally awesome, but quite unusual for me. Before I had the red glasses, I had hot pink, and before that, metallic blue. So, glasses that match are pretty new and awfully convienient.
I will never give up on my love for ice cream, despite the cooling temps. It's almost better in winter - less sticky melting situations..
My awesome headphone decoration. I'm pretty proud of this crazy rainbow. I'll be doing a DIY post these soon!
My long awaited converse arrived! If you've been keeping up with my outfit posts, you will have noticed I've hardly taken them off all month...
Presence Youth!!! This was a conference my youth group went to in the holidays. It was soooo much fun ohmigosh. And, as you can see, it was in Town Hall, which is so beautiful!
I met this guy!! (FYI He's a judge on SYTYCD, not a random :) ) But I'm kind of on strike from this show at the moment because they voted out Sam and Blonde 2 weeks in a row. Thats just too much for me. 
I had some awesome public transport adventures on the Urban Challenge camp. Check out my photo diary in my archives!
I spent the Easter weekend with my family in Coolangatta. I seriously think this is one of the best beaches in the entire world. 
And of course, the Divergent movie. My absolute number one fandom was put on the big screen, with its flaws for sure, but definitely an enjoyable movie for everyone. 

So, there's the month that was. I'm looking foreward to an awesome May! (and temperatures warmer that right now...)

All That Glitters Is Gold




Jumper - Wildfox
Jeans - Just Jeans
Shoes - Converse
 I thought I'd indulge in a little sparkle to celebrate the Logies yesterday, with this most gorgeous Wildfox jumper. Yes - I did say Wildfox, but no - I have not started paying for ridiculously overpriced clothes. I really believe style isn't about a price tag. I scored this jumper in an Op shop a few months ago for $12, and Taylor Swift has the same one! Eeeep! So what if it is a little big?

I had the best last weekend of freedom, comprising of blogging, craft, pizza, pink lemonade, hilarious snapchatting and old school movies. Also, I helped my friend set up a blog, check it out on Instagram @tiptoe_blog

But today marked the start of term 2. The end of an awesome holiday. But don't worry Australia - it's only 8 weeks! Have a great first week back! Also, don't forget to follow by email so you don't miss the extra posts I've stored up my sleeve :)

Denim Jackets 3 Ways

Hey hey! I'm trying something a little different today, sort of a styling tutorial. I've made 3 Polyvore sets as part of a denim jackets inspiration. I've used an Acne denim jacket *lust* but any jacket works. I picked up one from Cotton On last week for $20! Gotta love Cotton On!

This first one is prep. I had so much fun with this one, I'm so not a preppy person! For this look, stick to nudes with a pop of colour. Pastels and warm colours look sweet with denim. Top it off with some classic accessories. Oh and, how cool are those shades!? I'm LOVING these.
 Next is rock, I love this whole look. I was going for an edgy take on the classic glamour. If your going after this look, try black and white against striking colours. Clash with metallic chunky accessories. You could also try the classic rock studs, or boots. Rock is all about being bold. 
 Last of all is boho. This one comes with some chilled vibes. Deep breathes, shore lines and awesome smoothie breakfasts. Go for natural, relaxed shades and indie patterns. The boho look is a little perfection within itself, because it's so 'I'm a fashion goddess', and a little 'I just woke up like this' all at the same time. 


That brings my first polyvore tutorial to a close, keep your eyes peeled for more in future. Have fun with your denim jackets! Last tip - don't be afraid to experiment! Style is awesome because it's totally yours, own it!

Blogathon Day 5: Liquorice Allsorts





Savannah wears:
Top: Sportsgirl
Necklace: Gift
Skirt: Dragonberry
Shoes: Wittners

Welcome to the final instalment of blogathon week! Sorry this is an early one, I'm heading to the airport in a few minutes. Here's my OOTD from yesterday, I just can't get enough of this necklace! Pink is seriously such an awesome invention. Here's to pink.

Also, I snuck a sneaky shot of my shoes in there, they were cut of in my shots, and I just had to include them. I scored these in a crazy sale last winter, so I've had them a while now. I love them to death, but they go with n-o-t-h-i-n-g. Oh the struggles.

Now, what do we think of the new glasses!? I'm just loving these, I feel like a hipster with the tortoise-shell. Hehehe. Speaking of new things, the decoration of my new room is on the way. My Dad is having seperation anxiety with perfectly painted white walls. Were heading to OfficeWorks to print some wall art. I'm so excited! I'll keep you posted with updates, and expect a tour in a few weeks :)

Have the most magical easter, lovelies. Enjoy spending time with your family, celebrating, and obviously the chocolate side of things is not bad either. Bye for now x
