It is December (obviously) and we have been invited to a couple of Christmas parties this year. There is nothing we love more than getting super festive, so when we saw these shoes, we freaked out.
But then we couldn't find them anywhere, and thought they'd be pretty easy to make, and my golly, the so are.
So, if you've been watching our Vlogmas, then you'll know we recently went to Spotlight to get some things to try this out.
All you will need are a pair of shoes of your choice: We went with these gold ballet flats from Big W
A hot glue gun + glue, and some festive pompoms (or any decoration of your choice)
Method: Heat up your hot glue gun, decide on how you want to arrange your decoration, dab some glue onto the decoration and secure into place on your shoe.
Let them dry and HOORAY. You have festive shoes.
Super cute, super easy and super cheap.
Claire is going to wear her's to work the week leading up to Christmas.
Let us know if you give this a go, and send us pictures! We'll love to see them.

Hi all, Grace here!
Everyone always says that to dress like a Melbournian, wear black. Well, black and any other dark colours. However, I very rarely wear all black, or black in general (apart from shoes and jeans) unless I am volunteering at art events. Navy blue is definitely the neutral colour in my wardrobe. I cannot help but have colour!
However, when I stumbled across this dress in Target last month, I fell in love. This dress works well with wearing the dark colours of Melbourne while still having a Spring and Summer feel to it with the darling pops of bright yellow in the detail with the flowers. It also works perfectly for when Melbourne has its typical cloudy Summer days. You can dress to suit the sky, but still feel like you are staying true to the Summer season.
I kept the accessorising for this dress to a minimum (shocking for me, I know!), choosing to go with some dangling earrings as my only jewellery to tie in the yellow on the dress, and a black flat sandal. Although a long necklace with a pendant on the end will also go well with this dress.
How would you describe Melbourne fashion?
As always,
stay gold!

Can you believe that we have made it to December? Every year we always say that the end of the year has come by too quickly, but once we think about what we have done during the year it feels like light-years ago. In case you did not follow us this time last year, weloveChristmas. For us, Christmas is like a month-long celebration for our friends and family, to celebrate making it through another year and spending time together. As sentimental people, we definitely love getting into the Christmas spirit.
Yesterday on December first (or as we like to call it, Christmas the First), we put our Christmas tree and decorations up, as is the tradition. My oh my, are we IN LOVE with our tree this year. We decided to choose a better colour scheme than we had last year, and build on what we had to have a silver, gold and pink theme. Are you sensing a theme here?
As Christmas is in Summer for us Australians, the traditional wintery colours of Christmas did not feel right in our little apartment that always seems to have a golden glow about it on sunny days.
Basically all of our baubles are from Big W, which are super cheap, or we have taken from our family home tree (there are enough decorations on that for all of us!)
Yesterday we also started VLOGMAS.
For those of you who don't know, Vlogmas is a thing done by people on YouTube, where you vlog (video blog?) everyday leading up to Christmas, starting December 1st.
A vlog is when you bring your camera along with you and film your day. We're not sure why we love vlogs so much... maybe because it feels like you're with your friends, and who doesn't love to keep up to date with what their friends are doing?
While we aren't YouTubers, a lot of YouTubers did start out a bloggers. This doesn't mean that we want to become YouTubers (maybe one day?), we just really love vlogmas and have always wanted to try it. Since this blog is about our live as students in the city, vlogmas seemed pretty fitting.
Vlogmas is the greatest, though, because everyone is in the Christmas spirit, and you get to experience/see what Christmas is like all around the world. So it's pretty special.
We hope you enjoy our Vlogmas. Day 1 is down below!

But most importantly: What do you like most about Christmas?
