Watermelons & Pineapples

If you didn't realise that watermelon and pineapple prints are the hottest trend for summer 2014, where have you been?  Nothing screams 'Its Summer Time!' more than juicy summer fruit, so why not eat it and wear it too! The watermelon and pineapple trend on pretty much everything from sunglasses to t-shirts is happening at the moment. It is fresh and fun, and even one item can completely update and revamp your outfit. I have been stopping myself from buying every random thing that has any fruit resemblance on it. Check out these fun options!

About Me

Hi I am Sarah-Jane, but you can call me Sarah. I am currently living and teaching English in Bangkok, Thailand. I've always loved writing, food, travelling and fashion, and figured this is the perfect way for all my passions to collide.

I am a dreamer who has big ideas and high hopes for my future. I am on a constant journey of learning more about myself and finding out what I want to spend the rest of my days doing. I love to express my own opinions and talk to strangers, and I believe that kindness given is kindness shared.

I feel that blogging and writing is an important way of connecting to others in this great big world we live in. This is the inner workings of my mind on a computer screen for all to see. Please feel free to drop me a message, ask a question or just have a look.

I am 23, I am a Leo, I am in love and I am happy.

Welcome to my world x

Superga Love

I have a mild shoe obsession, and when I go shopping I always seem to focus on shoes even when I'm supposed to be looking for something practical. Its the story of my life! What is awesome about Supergas, however, is that they are fashionable AND practical, and therefore I felt that I could not leave the mall without them. My mom even asked me the other day where she could get some from cause she loves the pairs I have. Superga now has so many different shades, textures and styles, and it was not easy for me to narrow it down to one new pair but I finally chose the black ''flatforms'. I am in love! They are so comfortable and well-made, and the extra height doesn't hurt for someone who is vertically challenged like me. Here are some of the new designs.

So Yesterday Volume 1

These trends have had their moment in the sun, but it is now sadly time to say goodbye! I am one of those people that usually avoids being a slave to fashion, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't sad to see some of these go. I am sometimes guilty of stretching out a trend for a bit longer than I should because it suits my personal style or its flattering, but even I know when to let go. They are OUT!

The high-low 'mullet' dress

These dresses and skirts were lots of fun and we got to show off our legs but keep it formal at the same time. I even had my mom make me a mullet party dress before they reached the stores (thank you Pinterest). Personally, I am sick of seeing this trend simply because it was too popular and overdone. Good-bye mullet dress, the party is over.

Birkenstocks

Yes, I am just as surprised as you are! Straight out of Germany, Birkenstocks are in fashion and available everywhere. Most people have taken on the trend with hesitation, but why not join in on the fun and look chic at the same time! I would suggest buying a cheaper pair because they are just as good as the originals. Enjoy these comfortable slip-ons and have fun with the different colours! Whatever you do...  just don't wear them with socks.

8 Signs you should quit your job

"The supreme accomplishment is to blur the lines between work and play"- Arnold J Toynbee

Like I have mentioned before, I could be considered a professional part-time career specialist (completely made-up term) from all the jobs I have had. From being a bartender to an aupair to a personal assistant and promo girl, I have met a lot of people and learnt a lot of things-useful or not.

The gift of higher education

When I finished my final year of high school back in 2009, I had no doubt in my mind that I was going to further my education and study a degree of my choice. My parents had never questioned this notion either, and urged me to continue studying after school.
