Miserable Melbourne days deserve warm high-waisted pants, splashes of electric blue and cake mix cookies.  Plus, my hair is newly black, so I needed to celebrate!

Hair clips: Gift from friend

Cardigan/ striped shirt: Bought so long ago from obscure shops I can hardly remember! (Sorry!)

High-waisted pants: Country Road (thrifted) 

Belt: Primark (For one single, solitary pound.  Hurray!)

Cake mix cookies are my new obsession, and you can find a great recipe on Lovin’ from the Oven.  You can have fresh cookies within fifteen minutes, I swear.  I’ve tried it with various other cake mixes and they always turn out great. So simple, so delicious!

This is me attempting to post more often between two jobs and writing an Honours thesis — we’ll see how that works out!

Yours & c.,
