Hi lovelies! Today's photos were my first experiment with my new camera lens. I finally bit the bullet and bought the Canon 50mm 1.4f USM lens ...and it's beautiful. I have only ever used zoom lenses in the past, so I think it will take a bit of getting used to. I shall refrain from getting into the technicalities, but I can't wait to take some beauty photos with this guy.

It looks like summer has come early to Brisbane. Yesterday was the most perfect weather for wandering about doing nothing. Erin invited me over for tea and before the sun went down we made time for some outfit photos. Luckily for us Erin just happens to have this stunning backdrop in her backyard. 

May | The Top Five

So as another month draws to a close I have another top five for you guys. If you want to read about the concept behind the post then you can see the original here. 

Let's get straight into them...

Music: Daft Punk 'Random Access Memories'

No surprises here. Like just about everyone else in the world I am in love with their latest album. I thought departing from their usual sample-filled style was a really bold move by them with electronic music today being so sample driven. It totally paid off though and showcases them as musicians. There was a fantastic interview by Pitchfork that's really interesting read (link here). In case you're craving Daft Punk as much as I am they've announced that they will be remixing the entire album and releasing it later on this year. 

Gadget: Canon EOS 60D

For my birthday last month I got a very exciting new toy. A Canon! I am so excited to learn everything about this little baby and take some awesome photos for this internet space. Erin can confirm I have been reading a ridiculous number of photography blogs, I have been using it to procrastinate from revising for exams. 

OOTD | Growing Up

Mesh Jumper NastyGal / Necklace Vintage / Dungarees Vintage via Electric Skinny / Backpack Thrifted / Boots eBay

To celebrate my transition from my second decade into my third decade I wore something that I haven't worn since my first decade. Dungarees! 

As a kid I was rather enamoured with a pair with a butterfly on the front, now I am in love with this navy corduroy pair that I picked up on eBay. The store is called Electric Skinny Vintage and I would highly recommend them. Although they aren't particularly cheap, there are some amazing pieces in that store that are worth the extra cash. I can tell you now that this won't be the last dungarees to enter into my wardrobe. They are super comfy and perfect to layer with. 

OOTD - Lace and Corduroy

In order to celebrate the official change from Summer into Autumn I decided to wear not one, but two colours. Shock horror. I am guilty of wearing a lot of black. It matches with everything and looks polished. Sometimes though I get an itch to wear colour and using dark and muted colours is what works best for me.
