Festivals and food

Cause i'm a fool for you

If you follow me on instagram (@joyce_to_the_world) you'll probably already know that I cut my hair. Because of the ombre, and my hair being naturally black and all, my split ends had split ends and it was all getting a bit sad so I've cut most of the bleached tips off. I couldn't bear to part with it all at once though, so I've still got about 3 centimetres of blondish hair left. What do you think?

Today I went out for shopping and lunch at grill'd today, to try out their garden goodness veggie burger and holy moly, it's my new favourite burger. I was reading a article on sydney's top ten burgers and this one was tenth place so I'm looking forward to trying all the other ones.

Whatever people say, that's what i'm not

Walked around doing this all day and annoying the hell out of everyone as per usual

Akjhfaksjdghsfkjgh school. Being the lazy person that I am, even just having to get up early and making myself presentable (e.g. getting dressed, brushing my teeth etc you know what I mean) packing all my things into a bag that I need for the day, eating breakfast and heading out all the door, all in under an hour's time. WOW that was a long sentence. But I'm constantly amazed at people (basically everyone other than myself) who manage to do this, and not end up grumpy by the time they actually arrive at school (ahem me).

Right, rant over.

Although this outfit is pretty tame for internet standards, (when this extists, what isn't?!!) but I did get a lot of weird looks walked around out-and-about today in my conservative.. dwelling area. But yes! This means that I'm doing something different and although not every outfit (different or not) is going to be a successful, I think putting together outfits and whatnot, gets better with practise, so here I am practising. :) 

I won't go until you come outside

Winter is well on its way, and I could not be happier to roll out the knits. Big woolly scarves and jumpers feel like an all-day hug. I can't believe that I this jacket hasn't yet been on here, since I wear it it literally every day, I'm not kidding ask anyone who knows me, this jacket gets thrown over everything. It's so darn warm and versatile, and well, just perfect really.

A few days ago, I was moving around things on the shelves on my room; and I really like the idea of displaying these beauties. Since I don't really have a lot of chances to wear them, and they are way too pretty to be shut inside the closet.

We (in Australia) are well into our second week of holidays and I am not nearly ready enough to go back to school. Can I please wake up at 10 and have a nice big breakfast forever?

I'm so, so happy and also very relieved that this is finally the last week of term 1! Yessss, two weeks of doing nothing much at all, waking up by myself, without an alarm! No matter what song I set, in my grumpy, just woken-up state, I will be sure to hate it.

The weather finally cooled down, and I'm pretty pleased. After digging around my closet for some tights and a sweater, I present to you my first Autumn-y outfit. It's nothing very special as the whole layering concept hasn't sunk in after a whole season of wearing as little as possible in an attempt not to melt into nothing-ness.

I'm already in holiday mode, snuggling on my bed in cozy sweater and re-watching season 3 of pretty little liars; HOW SHOCKING WAS THE FINALE?!! I'm still reeling from the countless plot-twists! And eagerly awaiting the new season of Downton Abbey.

ALSO! Google reader is soon ending (!), so please switch over to Bloglovin' to keep up with my little blog. Thanks. :)

Hazy Chaos

Sundays are always bittersweet since Monday's just around the corner, and I'm always scrambling around trying to get everything that's due done.

On another note; Maaan it's hot!! Isn't it meant to be Autumn? My instagram feed is full of people posting pictures of (read; complaining about) the snow in Europe and I have to say, I'm a tad jealous. I would love to bundle up in all my knits and snuggle on the couch catching up on tv shows! Hot, humid and sticky is getting a bit old, I for one am looking forward to feeling that chill in the air.

Off to try to beat the heat with a paddlepop.

Now I'm longing for the way I was

I feel  like I haven't done an outfit post in ages! But hey, better late than never right? I've been trying to break these boots in, and six painful blisters later, I think we're almost there. They are really very versatile and reasonable comfortable too; can't wait to wear them with absolutely everything come autumn and winter.

It's the middle of the term again, and before I can even think about dreaming of the holidays, there are about seven assignments, projects and essays I have to wade through. So instead of spending my time working on said assignments, projects and essays, I baked some cookies. Procrastination at its most delicious. 

The change in my pockets just wasn't enough

 (jumper H&M, loafers forever21)

This jumper from H&M is literally the most comfortable and fluffiest piece of clothing I own, up to the point that when I'm wearing it I constantly have the urge to hug myself (sad I know). But you really need to see (and feel!) it in real life to understand of fluffiness.

It's still sort of 'Summer but not quite' weather so a light, mint jumper seems to be the perfect choice and I love how looks with pastel pink and gold.

After wondering around Bing Lee for a looooong time looking for a new TV since ours broke many months ago and we've been not bothered to buy a new one since now (still not purchased FYI), we went for food (YAYYY), more precisely Fogo Brazilia's amazing burgers. They also have the very best onion rings I've ever tasted.

Give me a minute while my heart stops breaking

With summer, comes unfortunately, mosquitoes. Sometime in the middle of the night last night, I heard the familiar  irritating buzz of a mosquito and my first thought was "Just take a bite and go away so I can sleep." Turns out, it did, several big fat bites on my face. So no close ups of my face today, for obvious reasons.

Moving to nicer, prettier topics, I spotted this necklace in my jewellery box the other day and wondered why I don't wear it nearly as much as I should, so I'm wearing it today. I love the vintage feel and the little pearl embellishments; it was a birthday present from a friend and I think she bought it from Love Couture..

Going to stay home for the rest of the week-end until the big itchy red lumps on my face begin to fade away. Wasn't that an attractive mental picture.

I'd steal the mona lisa, but I know I wouldn't keep her

(ignore the where-the-hell-am-I-looking-face)

Happy Sunday! Spent most of the day sitting around eating biscuits, reading and getting distracted by random things on the internet. I'm wearing my new lipstick from Rimmel London, that I did a post on a while ago. What do you think?

Had a bit of a wander around Westfield, but didn't really see anything that caught my eye, and had a cheeky yogurberry. I love how it's DIY and you can scoop extra of what you especially like (in my case mochi!) and  try a little of something new, then getting it weighed altogether at the end (I am quite easily amused).
