Monday was one of my favourite holidays of the year, Australia Day! I celebrated the traditional way with too much food, beach, BBQs and all day bathers.

* I tried my first ever Golden Gay Time ice-cream and it was possibly one of yummiest ice-creams ever!

Liebster Award !!

liebster2

I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Meg Maldonado from cheapitclassy.wordpress.com ( her blog is very cool and gives great style advice).

I’m still very new to all things to do with blogging so apologises if I do this wrong, but I’m incredibly honoured to have been nominated,  Thankyou somuch Meg!!

  1. What made you decide to start a blog?

Well earlier last year I decided to finally start dressing for myself as before I’d always dressed for friends or in what I thought were the latest trends. I’ve always had a love for fashion but was too scared to dress how I liked. But once I started I felt more confident and people began complimenting my style. In November last year after reading and stalking heaps of fashion blogs, I decided to start my own blog and to show you don’t have to wear high heels 24/7 or spend thousands of dollars to look stylish.

  1. How would you define your personal style?

Very minimal! I’m a massive fan of wardrobe staples and neutral clours. Although I still love the occasional crazy patterned piece of clothing. Last year I brought a t-shirt covered in mini T-Rexs and it is one of my favourite t-shirts I have ever owned!!

  1. Who do you admire most in the blogging community?

I love how positive everyone has been, when I first started my blog I was worried I was going to get heaps of critical comments! But I haven’t had any at all!

  1. What’s your go-to outfit or article of clothing when in a jam?

Jeans!! I ‘m addicted to denim, I find denim jackets, shirts, shorts etc.. always bring an element of effortless cool to an outfit. My favourite type of denim is vintage style denim!

  1. What’s your favorite quality in a person?

Have to be that they don’t take themselves too seriously!

  1. Do you have a hobby other than blogging?

Food! ( if you food can be a hobby) I love cooking for my friends and family, reading new recipes, talking about food and trying new food. Yeah I’m pretty obsessed!

  1. What’s your favorite season and why?

Style wise I’d say winter! Nothing like layering up in jumpers, jeans, and scarfs. I find it is far easier to be stylish in winter.

  1. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Depends the situations, I’m shy with new ppl, but once I get to know someone I’m very chatty!

  1. Do you read and if so, what are you reading?

General I mostly read crime, but at the moment I’m reading Man Repeller by LeandraMedine. I think it’s a must read for all lovers of fashion!

  1. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?

That’s a hard one!!! So many places want to visit, but since my last few holidays were fast paced exploring ones, I d have to say the Fiji islands. I’d love spend the day just chilling at the beach or snorkelling on the reef.

  1. What’s one piece of advice you would share to your fellow bloggers? Don’t be afraid to experiment and have fun with fashion!. Life’s too short to worry about what people think!

Carissa Emma

Hot Black

It was 35 degrees in Perth today, so it was a bad day to wear all black to work. However I love a simple black outfit, the white sneakers bring a slight urban edge to the outfit. The bag I’m wearing is my current new obsession, its mixture of denim and leather is a twist on the normal leather pouches.

Simple Patterns

I am a fan of keeping my outfits rather minimal looking, but that doesn’t mean you can’t wear patterns. I am a massive lover of stripes! they are and probably always will be my go to pattern. I often find pairing two contrasting patterns such as stripes and leopard, makes each individual pattern stand out better. Although be warned a hint of leopard is all you ever need!
