Firstly i should explain why i haven't blogged for a good couple of months.. I've had assignment after assignment after assignment with barely any time left to breathe! This appears to be the first week this term that i have only one assignment due!?
So what's been going on in the world of being Quintessentially British? - The answer.. Not much! The most excitement that this girl has seen is her Grandmother sending some "Ma'amite" (Queens jubilee edition Marmite) from England which now sits proudly on my kitchen bench top!
Obviously being british then the Jubes was a big deal, but i guess now living in Sydney and just not really being in the atmosphere that is currently Britain it seemed like a little if no big deal at all, shame. I still got my Royal Mint Jubilee coin! (This i promise shall forever stay in the plastic packaging)
So although i've been working hard towards this semesters grades some might say that i've been hardly working as i have still found the time to do a lot of internet browsing and such - and a few purchases here and there.. So what have been my recents loves? Well you can check out my 'Friday Five' above!
New discoveries.. Well you can find them above my Friday Five!
Hopefully with this collage posts on whats going on then i can get back on track with this blogging thing!
Now, heres some "Ma'amite" for you.. Happy jubes!

| Marmite - The spread of the British. |

Me being Me, i've always had a thing for over dressing. One of J.Crews classics prevents that a little.. Now i know, i know J.Crew isn't at all British, but truth be told i just enjoy this high quality brand and its clothing. Perfect Shirt in linen is comfy yet crisp, formal yet informal. - All too how you wear it, an item thats great for me! As it is starting to chill in Sydney I'm SLOWLY preparing my wardrobe to the next season.. And the question is, shirts or no shirts? To allow over dressing disasters or not?

Dogeared Necklaces, Bracelets and Earrings. Where can i fault? err.. Nowhere? This jewellery has an amazing free spirit thats designs are based around subtle classics. I have one Dogeared Necklace now, and let me tell you, as it was given to me by one of my closest friends in the world of course it means a lot, but i have a little belief it may be my good luck charm. - I should also add i went through a phase of wearing pearls from Dogeared everyday, until i lost the pair and had to replace them from a high street store. It just was not the same.. So i think for just $52 at Dogeared they might have to be replaced.

Puffer Vests or Gilets, whatever you want to call them are the best. I used to wear mine (Navy Jack Wills Dudmaston) ALL the time. They go great over J. Crew tissue tees on a chilly day or over a sweatshirt on a cold day. For the ultimate lounge wear indulge in Aubin and Wills cashmere track pants, some rugby socks, and a tissue tee then layer in your Gilet. Get one that fits snugly, but has enough room for a sweatshirt.. And good pockets are a MUST. - Bonus to the Jack Wills one? Built in headphone cable tidys and loops!
