As you all know, I am a plus-size gal (I'm working on it - my new years resolutions have been getting harder and harder to... resolve). Anyway, I was browsing the City Chic website out of boredom when I came across this lovely coat.


I mean, how nice does it look? It comes in black too, but I really liked the pink because it was different and you don't see a lot of pink coats! Anyway, so today after a nightmare of a day trying to finish and submit the hardest marketing assignment of my life, I drove all the way out to City Chic to have a look at this coat. Okay I am exaggerating a bit, it's (sort of) on the other side of town, and with today's Easter long weekend traffic, it took at least 20 minutes to get there. Anyway, when I got there and tried it on I discovered that it was... furry. Yes, furry. It doesn't look furry in the pictures at all, so you can understand how disappointed I was. It just looked cheap, and seeing as it's polyester and furry, I think it would pill quite easily and it wouldn't last very long. Not the mention the hefty price tag - it was $199.95. That is just absolutely ridiculous for a cheap fabric, polyester coat! I was outrage, honestly. Especially because here in Australia it's really really difficult to find nice clothes in my size (I'm an 18, so not even that big. If I lose 5kg I'll even be out of the ASOS Curve category). And with my DD boobs it's even harder to find something to fit. So for (basically) the only plus-size store in Australia, it's pretty damn disgraceful that it's so expensive but is the quality of Supre. So very disappointing. I think I'll stick to ASOS.. 

Actually, I've bought a few items off ASOS that I love at the moment, so if any of you are interested in a 'latest purchases' post, let me know! I hope you all have a lovely Easter weekend, I'm off to the beach to soak up some sun, sand, swimming and chocolate! What are you all doing for your Easter weekend? 
Going through puberty I was extremely lucky to have good skin - with the exception of a very rare blemish every now and then. Up until the middle of February this year I have been blessed with very good skin (may as well be honest). I've always had a very nice complexion and get compliments from every beauty therapist and makeup artist I see. However, since the middle of Feb this year my skin has been getting worse and worse. It started of with a pimple every now and then, and whilst it's still not very bad, it's a lot worse than I am used to. It seems that my chin is the target! I have two pimples right now and it's very frustrating because when they go away they just come right back.
The last time my parents came to visit me, mum bought a juicer that they can use when they go to the beach house (they go every few months). Mum and Dad like to drink carrot juice every morning (blegh) and seeing as they fly heree before they drive to the beach, they leave me with the juicer when they go home. And I'm surely not complaining.

When I first got it I was just juicing pineapples - yuuuum. It was delicious, and sometimes I'd freeze the juice in ice cube trays and then pop them in the blender once frozen to create a delicious pineapple frappe. Seriously, it was amazing. It's finally starting to get cooler here in Australia though and pineapples are on the way out, plus I was in the mood for something a little less tropical. I ended up rummaging through my fridge and just chucked a random assortment of fruits and veggies into the juicer, and it turned out AMAZING! I couldn't believe it, I have made it three more times since then and it really is so delicious. I'll put the recipe below for you guys! If I know I've got an early morning for uni the next day I'll put some in my to-go cup and drink it on the way to class. It also lasts once juiced in the fridge for a day or two (just stir it before you drink it) and it still tastes amazing. I'm in love!

In my to-go cup. It doesn't look great, but it tastes amazing!

Recipe

2 oranges (peeled)
1 lemon peeled or half a lemon unpeeled (whatever tickles your fancy)
2 apples (I used granny smith)
2 medium stalks celery
Half medium cucumber
2 carrots
Handful of spinach (if you want - I like it because it takes away some of the sweetness of the lemon rind)
Enjoy!
I haven't posted in.. I don't even know how long. I don't even have an excuse for not posting. I guess I haven't had all that much to post about really. I've just been hanging out with friends and going to uni, so it hasn't really been all that interesting. But I've finally wanted to post about something! 

Every single time I get sick of uni (which is currently) I get an overwhelming urge to travel. So I ended up watching a ton of Essie Button's vlogs - hers are my favourite for some reason. She's just so personable and her vlogs are always really interesting! Anyway, I was watching one where she went to Denmark and I realised that I love Scandinavian interior design. Kind of random, but whatever!

Denmark and Ireland are my top two places that I really really really want to go. I've got a bit of heritage from both places, as my grandmother was born on a boat on the way from Denmark to Australia, and my granddad's father came over from Ireland when he was young. Both places are also incredibly beautiful (from what I can tell from photos - cry) and I am absolutely desperate to get there. Once I'm finished uni I'm definitely travelling.

Aaaanyway, I decided to browse pinterest and find a few photos that I really like. Oddly enough I'm not a huge fan of Ikea but oh well. 


THOSE LIGHTS ARE AMAZING okay i'm calm 
I also love the round table because it looks like the sides fold down to make it a rectangular table. Genius.

Love everything.

Okay this even brings in my love for grey couches (I really really love them) and I love the use of the two different tables! How do people think of these things I mean really.


All of these photos were found on pinterest (of course). If any of you want to follow me on pinterest or twitter leave a comment below!
