Bless'ed Are The Meek: Desire and love What are your dreams?
Sometimes in life, we want it all. We want love, we want the perfect life, we want so much, but what are really our dreams?
We need to think about what really makes us happy, what we want to achieve, because if we don't live our dreams, then what will they to become of?

FLARE AFFAIR WITH LIVINGSTONE COOPER
Dare to flare foxes?
Love these pants they're super chic and easy to wear during a hot night because of the light weight fabric and slit at the bottom of the pants. The top is such a statement piece. Peice it together alone, or find something you'll love by Livingstone Cooper.

How to be a #Girlboss ft Review Australia
We're in the digital age and it's time to shine and be your own entrepreneur in what you're passionate about. So how can you be a down right #girlboss?
Firstly whatever your game is you always need to be organised!
I like to plan my weekly schedule on a week map. I also have a notebook for blog ideas and photo shoots and of course the o'l diary for locking in dates for events, photoshoots.
REPLY to your emails on time! It's true sometimes I've left them there in the inbox floating for a few days, but I'll always reply and try to reply on that day.
Be passionate about what you're doing! If there's no passion then I'm not too sure what'd it be? It'd feel like a job you hate doing. So if you love what you do it won't ever feel like a chore.
Network, network and more NETWORK! If you're not a social butterfly, then spread your wings baby and learn to fly because you'll need to become a bit of a talker to up your creation. If at first take a friend with you who is more outgoing and help you speak to contacts and work together. Learn to breathe, I'll be honest sometimes before big events I'll be super nervous, but once I'm in that atmosphere I'm so relaxed and flow with the moment.
Post what's true to you, I've always been 100% on my posts and Instagram, but this year I'm going to write more of these topics to help others learn!
Listen to others who gave great advice and learn from your own mistakes. Don't take people's opinions to heart, but don't beat yourself up, just learn and keep on being you.
Be kind, there's no need to be sassy. If you do encounter someone who's mean or rude during a conversation, simply say "oh I'm thirsty I'll be right back" or "I just have to quickly go to the toilet" And viola you're free from negative people. Plus usually progressively during the night they'll move onto someone else.
Learn to rest and repeat. This is something that I've struggled with, I'm always on the go, I'm always looking for that next big thing. I've now taken a step back a few days and to reflect on everything I've achieved and rested myself and soul.

SUMMER FOX
Summer is here Foxes, and it’s time to plan those outdoor parties, sip on some dranks and relax. It's holiday season... Right?! I do enjoy summer. Not the sweating in the heat weather, but those moments when it’s enjoyable with balmy nights, fruity drinks and rooftop bars.
Finding that perfect outfit can be hard during summer! I don't enjoy just wearing shorts and a t-shirt. That's why I love Glue Store, they have such a variety of summer outfits!
During summer I love catching up with friends during late nights, the suns out till eight and the vibe of the city is buzzing. But it's Melbourne and we know a little chill could come at any time, so it's best to bring a jacket, I love denim jackets, they're light and easy to bring with you anywhere.
Another great part is adventuring to our beaches. One, in particular: Mornington.
I love how the sun glistens over the water, you can relax and let your mind wander and forget what's going on around you. Handy tip - wearing a dress under your bikini makes life easier when ducking in and out of the sea.
And thirdly, comfortable sneakers.
If you've noticed the trend, we're starting to get into relaxed clothing. Fancy sneakers have become acceptable to wear to events. There's a change in the air Foxes, not only with the weather but with our fashion.
What's your summer plans Foxes?

What Bloggers.. REALLY DO.
So, you want to know what bloggers do?
Don't worry, I’ve heard it before: the idea that we just flutter about to events, sip on champagne and have a good ol’ laugh all day, every day (and obsess over Instagram likes) is much less than accurate
Yes, there is a bit of fluttering and sipping and laughing, that's for sure, but the hard work we've done behind the scenes for our followers is not always apparent. I love what I do, and I'm so grateful for where I am in life and how far I've come now. I never thought it'd be as big as it's gotten, the new skills I have learned and can share with others continue to amaze me every day. It’s why I still, to this day, work 110% on all my content so that my followers can keep enjoying what I do.
So, what do I really do? Let me do a timeline- kinda of like, a day in a life of a fashionable fashion fox... hah!
Every morning I wake up at 8.30 am, I check my emails and make myself a coffee. Instant coffee of course... I’m classy like that. Sometimes, a brand will reach out to me and other I'll reach out to them - either way, there’s sure to be something interesting in my inbox.
After I've replied to my emails, I make a content list checklist, of all the blog posts I need to write, and events I have attended or need to attend. During this same time, I'll be liking photos on Instagram, and commenting and sharing our fashion photos!
From there, I read Vouge, Elle and a few fashion sites to write down key ideas that might interest my readers, or me. It’s also how I develop my vocabulary - reading other editorials is a dream for a new language!
Then I write half of each article I’m working on, and by the time I’ve finished that, it’s probably about 11am.
I tend to take a break from writing and edit photos I've taken over the few weeks, ready for Instagram. After I've edited each photo, I email them to myself and create my Instagram photos from there, with hashtags galore!
From there my day could go a few ways:
A) If I’m doing some behind the scene works for a brand, I may head off to attend a meeting with them. Here we get to share our ideas and chat about their exciting up and coming collections. Currently, I'm writing a proposal for a brand for an exciting collaboration coming up next year, so stay tuned for that.
B) If I’ve got some raw material ready to locate, I might head out for an on-location photo shoot. I’ve recently been trying to get out to the city more often to photograph my #ootd. Sometimes, I create a mood board beforehand, and other times the idea will just spring to mind and off I go!
C) The super fun part of the gig: EVENTS! I get to see so many different things and meet the most fantastic people - it's unbelievable and so exciting. But it’s not all fun and games - after I've had fun at an event comes to the extensive night time event write up. No pain, no gain; right?
Then, I do it all over again the next day, but every day is just a little different. Some days I'll just write, edit photos or take photos. Sometimes there won't be any events for months! Then there’ll be one on every day of the week....
It's an exciting blog life I lead, but hard work always pays off foxes. Never forget that.
This little number is pretty spiffy hey! I was actually thinking after I photographed this top from Livingstone Cooper that I could layer it with a shirt too! Perhaps for fashun week?
The jacket is actually a large cardi jacket, got it a few years a go!
Little clutch from TDE.
Heels from Wittner, and socks from Ambra.
Sunnies from Prada
But, do check out Livingstone Cooper, they've got a heap of different designs that will suit your style!
LONDON LIFESTYLE WITH BODEN CLOTHING
Hi Foxes,
It’ll be two years soon since I visited the UK. I fell in love with the history, the houses, the lifestyle and of course the fashion! I stayed in the heart of London, everyone had their own unique style and you’d also notice trends that weren’t worn here in Australia. I quickly adapted and purchased a number of peg pants, and since that I still wear them out during spring.
One moment that I truly loved was visiting the Queens palace, and going to the Victoria and Albert museum. The Palace inside is absolutely remarkable, inside there’s red carpet throughout, mirrors at every corner and plenty of portraits of the Royal family. Stepping back in time, seeing what they wore throughout that era’s was so inspiring. I remember I kept thinking, I wonder where they’ve kept all their outfits? Perhaps in a hidden room and maybe one day they might showcase it for the world to see. It was also amazing to think, that I was walking in the same room that the Royals had lived and breathed in.
I’ll be going again next year, but for now, London can come to you straight to your door in Australia!
Boden has a great range of clothing to suit your own unique style.
When I teamed up with Boden, I went back to my love of trousers and especially these checkered ones. They’re made so well, and the cut is perfect. I paired them up with this lush cashmere black jumper, it’s super soft and has now become one of my wardrobe staple items. To complete this pretty look are these super stylish and cute tie up pointed flats, giving it that fashion edge.
