Oxford St.

Whattup Australia! 
First, I can't even believe I'm here right now. I'm already having the best time and reuniting with my bestie for life is so exciting. She hasn't been around for the past 4 months so you could only imagine the separation anxiety going through my bones. For the past 24 hours she's been showing me the ropes, taking me to her everyday spots including this amazing breakfast and lunch cafe. It's very interesting to be in another country that speaks english. It almost feels like its the same as the United States until the culture differences kick in. Anyway, I've been mainly dying over everyones accents and how beautiful this area is. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Sydney opera house and the couple of days I will be spending in FIJI. Yea. Leaving Wednesday and I'm so pumped. 

The rest of the day we spent shopping, naturally. The markets here are super cool and the stores are even more unbelievable. While walking Oxford St. we discovered a small outdoor vintage stand where I found a sweet striped blazer. I also discovered these Prada boots which I unfortunately did not take home with me, but they deserved a photograph. 

Can't wait to post more from this trip! Keep up with me socially [ @colbymilano ] and holla if you know any awesome places I should visit while I'm here!! xox

Necessary Clothing

A lot of necessary pieces from Necessary Clothing in this post. I've taken on a sporty look wearing a basic baseball tee and high waisted white skinny jeans. As a big fan of white, I know having a good pair of white skinnies is key for my wardrobe. I definitely recommend these from Necessary Clothing if you've been coveting a similar style. Personally, high waisted is one of my favorite styles for bottoms because they define a girls hips in the perfect way. Too low of a rise cuts me off, and I'm short to begin with so that's not very attractive. I always say "find what works for you, and stick with it."
As for the baseball tee, you really just can't go wrong. I live in this shirt. It's super soft and works with almost everything.

So, if you like this look and you're interested in winning a $200 shopping spree with Necessary Clothing, enter to win by voting for me on Fashiolista! It could be your lucky day and a chance to get your own summer white skinnies!

Packin' My Bags


TGIF: Today is the day that I begin mentally prepping for this amazing trip. I'm planning outfits and pulling together all of my necessities for the travel. Bollare was kind enough to supply me with some awesome accessories that will make my flight and life so much better, thanks guys! If you've followed me on instagram/twitter @colbymilano, you might have seen some of the pieces. (hint: sick TKO watch!^)

Anyway, I've created this little travel board as inspiration for my flight outfit. A pair of loose jean shorts, sweater, jacket, and boots is an ideal plane look. I guess with all of the sleeping pills I plan on taking it won't really matter what I'm wearing, but at least I'll know before I pass out that I'm lookin' super cute!

The look is accompanied by a large tote which I tend to always travel with. It fits everything and is the best when it comes to easily obtaining the wallet for security. I can't wait to instagram my twistband jelly passport case btw. It's amazing, stay tuned!
