Papillionaire Vintage Bikes


 A classic^

 A Sommer ^


 Super Chic Classic ^
Sommer bike in 'Fest' colour. If you gave me this bike I would make you the biggest cake in the world.
That colour and that basket, Squeeee!

 It's a helmet that looks like a watermelon, what more do I have to say!?
 This sunflower bell just makes my heart glow.
A pizza bell. With the Lot!

Papillionaire Vintage Bicycles are a Melbourne based company that design new and absolutely flipping lovely Dutch style vintage bikes.
 I will admit I am not much of a bike rider myself, apart from the occasional trip down my road when I have nothing else to do; However, if I owned one of these babies I think I would be riding it absolutely everywhere!!
There are two stunning timeless designs to choose from, 'Classic' and 'Sommer'.
You can choose which style you want, then choose a colour scheme, and customise it to your liking. Not to mention they stock some super cute accessories (like the few I shared above) on the website. So if  you're into bikes, or just lovely things in general, you should most definitely pay the site a visit!

Personally I do prefer the 'Sommer' style bike, it makes me want to ride around the seaside in the city with bare feet and a straw hat until I am exhausted and then I would stop and rest under a tree and enjoy an ice-cream or lemonade. Gosh, I wish.

Bloggy!


I feel as if I should be punished for neglecting you. You're like a beautiful plant yet I am inconsistent with your nurturing. So many things have happened, yet so little, everything is a hurricane.  I went ahead and aged, turned into an adult. Yes, I am now 18, a legal human being. We sipped and gulped drinks and danced upon tables and skateboards into the wee hours and woke covered in bruises and lumps and infused with some new memories.

I also got a job, which is handy money wise although it's a little too busy for my liking, full days two days a week and I am finding it difficult as hell and the Dragon lady who acts oh-so-nicely sometimes is actually as cold as ice and just expects the world from me in such short amounts of time. There is only so much filing and typing and archiving and doing ALL of the slave duties I can handle. She is already showing her evil side and seems to think I can just dismiss my uni work for her work, which I'm sorry, is not going to happen. I do want to quit, but would that be careless of me? I need to live life.

I am stuck in a rut, and I would very much like to get out.
But this blog is not for my depressing outbursts, so I shall settle this and post some glorious things that will hopefully brighten up your day as much as they do mine.

Milan Street style

For some reason during Fashion Week my favourite street style snaps are nearly always from the streets of Milan.
 Don't get me wrong; There are amazing outfits being paraded around the streets of every Fashion Week. Milan just seems to stand out the most to me.
This post is a little late considering Fashion Week was last month but it's never to late to look at amazing clothes, ever.

 I'm loving the patterns and bold colours of late.

Natuka Karkashadze makes this tartan print look super classy.

 Julia Sarr-Jamois looking fun and fresh mixing patterns/texture. Loving her glasses and hair!

Hanne Gaby Odiele enjoying an ice-cream, and looking quirky but amazing as usual.

So bright and bold! Loving the colour combination here

 Neutral colours teamed with brights and neons. Love.


They were just a few of my favourite snaps from Milan Fashion Week last month. All photographs were taken by Phil Oh and are taken from Vogue.
Sorry this post is rather rushed, I just needed to share these with you and now it's time for me to get some work done and be productive. Much love, xx
