Inspirations.





















I do not claim credit for any of these images. 

St Jerome's Laneway Festival.


I had a pretty rough start to the year, both with personal and family issues, so I was quite relieved when Laneway finally rolled around. I was beyond keen to spend the day with two of my best friends, dancing, singing and drinking along to some of my favourite live acts. I had never been to a festival like this before so I honestly had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised to see how diverse and amazing it was, not just with the acts or crowd but also the market stalls and the food on offer. It was actually one of the best festivals I have ever been to in my life. 





I had gone out the night before with friends and had an incredibly late night so I put very minimal effort into my make up and outfit early the next morning due to being super exhausted, plus it was ridiculously hot so I knew that by the end of the night I would be a hot mess. 




Sunglasses: Sportsgirl. 
Dress: Paper Closet. 
Singlet: Topshop. 
Shorts: Oscar-St. 
Boots: Roc. 

They were giving out free bucket hats which was actually a god send as there was not much shade available and standing in the sun dancing all afternoon would have left me sunburnt from head to toe.


I had originally planned to save all the videos and photos of the day from my snapchat story however they didn't send properly and disappeared before the night was over. I don't know why I didn't just save them all after taking them. Anyway these are the ones I managed to save and keep from the day.




Hermitude were hands down the highlight of my day. I had wanted to see them for so long and they seriously did not disappoint in the slightest.  






Flume was another act that absolutely blew my mind. He is so phenomenal and pulled the largest crowd. We had so much fun dancing and singing together and again he was one of the highlights of my day, it was such an amazing atmosphere.  



I never particularly listened to Purity Ring as I never really liked them all that much but seeing them live was pretty cool and they are a pretty decent act. I still don't like them all that much but I appreciate their music more than I use to. The only reason I saw these guys live is because my best friend really likes them and he wasn't go to see them so I thought I would record a bit of it for him. 



I ended up buying the cutest little halter top that is perfect for summer and just hanging out. They're hand made and super adorable, I can't for the life of me remember the name of the stall I got it from but when I find out I'll update this. 
I also grabbed the best Valentines Day card I've ever seen in my life! It mixes my love for Aussie bogan culture, being a hopeless romantic and beer together in the cutest way. I love supporting local businesses as much as I can and as soon as I saw this gem I just had to have it. 
If only I had someone to give it to hahaha. 


I would love to go back to this day. Even though so much of my life was chaos this day was absolute perfection. I honestly suggest to anyone to just do things you wouldn't normally or haven't in the past because those days always end up being some of the best memories.
