Upping my pinkcore all pink all the time game with this 100% pink look. I bought these happy and sad face pink Lazy Oaf pants at the start of winter from Save Yourself Shop in Fitzroy but quickly discovered they're more suited to warmer weather wear so they were pushed to the back of my wardrobe during the colder months. I was so excited to be finally able to wear them out again now that it has slightly warmed up here in Melbourne, and even more excited as I now have this awesome DIY pink iron on patch denim jacket to pair them with!
These awesome ott sunnies are perfect to go with my ott all pink & all the things look. I live for being ott! Flower sunnies Maude Studio in marble pink
This is my latest DIY project, the instructions for which are over on the City Chic blog. Essentially I dyed a white denim jacket pink then ironed on some cute patches I had collected then hand stitched them in the corners to firmly affix them to the jacket as I sadly lost one the first time I wore the jacket out. I bloody am obsessed with this jacket though, it's the perfect lightweight jacket for spring and now looks super cute and personal and it gets never ending compliments.

Yes it really does snow in Australia! I know it's hard to believe maybe for my international readers but Australia isn't permanently in the midst of a heat wave, we do actually have four seasons and in my part of Oz we have a pretty chilly winter. It doesn't snow in the heart of Melbourne but you can drive for about two hours and find yourself in the midst of a beautiful white wonderland depending on the direction you go. My friend and I headed to Mount Donna Buang to see the snow for ourselves and had a pretty fun time making snow balls and throwing them at each other. The snow season is sadly now over for another year, but I think I'm going to try and make the effort to go every year from now on.

My sister gave me these super kawaii gloves from H&M. I don't recommend making snowballs with them though as they're not waterproof and your hands will freeze like mine did!
Truth be told these are not the best boots to be wearing in the snow, I actually changed into a pair of gumboots I brought along after we shot these photos. But they look super duper freaking awesome!
These photos are actually from late last year whilst I was still in Tokyo. My friend Yalei took them for me while we were out shopping in Harajuku on one of my last days, and then somehow with the madness of my last minute packing to come home I lost the SD card that these photos were on. That is until today. I am so happy to unerath them as they're such cute photos of a really fun outfit from a really fun day. I can't believe that it was nearly a year ago that I was over there, and that this year for the first time in a long time I'm not going over. 2016 has been a big year of change for me as you all probably know, but I am definitely making plans to head back to Tokyo in 2017, for now I have these photos to remember it by.

I was staying in a guesthouse with no iron, oh the creasey nightmares.
I was trying out Igari makeup, which was and maybe still is the most popular makeup trend in Tokyo. Basically it is all about under eye blush. Forget contouring, try Igari! Created by top Japanese makeup artist Igari Shinobu, the original inspiration for the look was hangovers, this season it is gaijin baby (Caucasian baby) with even more blush! You see it everywhere, especially around Harajuku. It's meant to make you look youthful and doll like, what do you think? Personally on me I feel like it makes me look old and like I have some kind of rash. I think I'll leave it to the girls in their late teens and early twenties from now on haha.
I got my nails done at Beautik in Laforet in Harajuku. I think it's a really cute idea, just doing the ends, plus it can last a lot longer because it already looks grown out to begin with.
Why hello there blog readers, so sorry to have neglected you for so long. I feel like I say that way too often recently, but in my nearly 10 years of blogging I don't think I have ever gone so long between posts. A lot has gone on in my life recently, a whole lotta changes. If you've been watching my snapchat (fashionhayley) or following my instagram then you'd know what Henry and I split up for good whilst I was in Tokyo. After 14 years together he broke up with my via facebook chat (!) but truthfully as horrible as that was to go through it was a long time coming and for the best. Also the way he did it made it a whole lot easier to move on from because honestly if someone can be that horrible to you after 14 years then are they really worth crying over? I don't want to waste any more of my life or energy on someone like that, and luckily 2016 has already shaped up to be an amazing year for me in terms of growth, my blog and work and also for friends and family and it's only mid Feb! I started the year with a bang at an incredible warehouse party in Fitzroy full of my friends and it's been a non stop party ever since. Single Hayley started dating and having fun. I found an amazing like-minded housemate to move in, I knew she was the right one as when we skype met she was wearing earrings I also own! I also have started an amazing job working for a top brand's online team and I absolutely love it. Seriously, just one month ago all these things seemed impossible, I thought I'd never find a job, would have to move to a sharehouse or maybe stay with family as I was left with no furniture when Henry moved out but somehow it has all come together so perfectly I have to pinch myself. My life is almost as perfect as this amazing Gorman jumpsuit I picked up at their recent sale. How freaking incredible is it? I basically died when I tried it on cos hello how perfectly does it fit me?

I am currently obsessed with the colour combo of red and pink (｡♥‿♥｡)

Wondering around Daikanyama I stumbled across the most amazing boutique - Harcoza. They sell independent Tokyo jewellery and clothing designers, all of whom are amazing. I fell in love with these earrings by Hokuro and had to go back to buy them because they just wouldn't escape my brain. They get compliments every time I wear them - totally worth it!
I was so obsessed with my soft pink Maude Studio bag I just had to get the bolder brighter hot pink too. This bag is just so perfect for my "throw everything in except the kitchen sink" lifestyle of carrying all the things all the time. It's like Mary Poppins carpet bag - it just fits everything in it with room to spare. The cute tassel was a gift from the lovely people at Frill and Frank and I absolutely adore it. The perfect little something to jazz up your bag.
I live in these shoes - so comfy yet stylish. I'm on the hunt for similar shoes of the same height as they're perfect for clumsy can't really wear heels without breaking my neck me. Please let me know if you see anything!
Fashion for me is all about having fun, ignoring all the so called fashion rules and doing it my way, If I feel like wearing a giant pink pom pom dress like the one I wore to fashion week recently - well then I'm going to do it. Likewise if I feel like pairing a basic tee with a fine silk floral print skirt - well I'm going to do that too! I don't believe in fashion rules, never have and never will. I always wear what makes me happy and for me that is bold bright colours, mostly pinks, and all the accessories all at once. Some so called fashion crimes I've committed over the years include - socks with sandals - check! Mixing prints - check! Wearing too many accessories - check! Being plus size and wearing horizontal stripes - check! There's many many more and there will continue to be many more as I ignore the haters and wear whatever I please. I just love dressing up and playing with fashion way too much to ever stop. The creative process of slowly collecting all the right pieces for that perfect dream outfit is what I live for - shopping at markets, op shops, designer sales and yes even my local Westfield. Today I am doing it my way just as I always have and always will. I'll never stop being me and I hope that I can inspire you to experiment and play with fashion too.
I love me a good turban and this Mimco scarf was too pretty to resist and I love how it looks with the amazing blue clear framed sunnies by Le Specs from Glue.
I love the beautiful botanical floral print of this Gorman skirt so much, I want to own so many pieces in the 'Birds and Bees' print from the new SS15 collection but for now have settled on this stunning pink silk skirt. Of course the pink is what sold me on this piece.
As someone who doesn't have their ears pierced I just LOVE when a brand offers up clip on earrings in it's collection. These Mimco blue gem clip on earrings are so elegant and sparkly!
Hello pom pom keyring! You had me at first sight and I just had to style you on my new white Mimco pouch bag, jazzing it up to make it more me!
Thank you to Westfield for bringing me on to this fabulous #TodayIAm campaign, I love the concept behind it - being true to yourself and who you are! Kelly Osbourne is a great style ambassador for the brand, I'm very excited that Westfield is celebrating unique personal style and style at any size - both of which are my passions! Let me know in the comments your thoughts xoxo
I'm really excited that in just under a month I will be travelling around Vietnam with my bff Lauren and husband Henry for three whole weeks! This is all of our first time visiting Vietnam or South East Asia for that matter so we're really looking forward to seeing the vast beauty of the country, experiencing the history and culture as well as eating all the yummy food (although Lauren is a vegan and I'm a vegetarian so not sure exactly how easy this will be for us, lucky ol' Henry can and will eat anything so he'll be fine haha!) We're travelling all over the country too - from Phu Quoc to Hanoi and in-between, staying in small beach side towns and big cities, saying I can't wait is an understatement and a half! I've been slowly collecting clothes that I think will travel well and be good in the humidity but still in my usual bright, fun and mostly pink style. This Gorman dress was a no brainier really, the perfect length for those windy days where anything shorter and your knickers are on show the whole day. The cute pink manicured hand print really sold me on it, as did the breathable cotton fabric which I like to live in come hot weather. All in all it is the perfect dress for the warmer weather and I can't wait to wear it in Vietnam #cantwait!!!

I was searching for the perfect pink tee to wear underneath the dress for sun protection for ages. It had to be the perfect matching pink or I wasn't going to get it. On my way home one day I popped into my local Dimmey's, which is a small chain of discount stores in Melbourne, and this pink t-shirt was just sitting there all on it's own with a $2.50 sticker on it. Of course I snapped it up as it was the exact shade of pink that I was after. Super lucky, it obviously was meant to be!

Still obsessed with this basket bag. Expect to see it a lot come summer!
Eeep so sorry about not blogging in a while, I was sick with gastro for what felt like forever then I got sick with the flu right after that so I'm a little behind on everything. Trying to catch up now with this quick outfit post I took on the weekend on my way to the Brunswick Flea Market. I wore my new favourite pot plant print dress from Lazy Oaf which I think is going to be perfect to wear on my upcoming trip to Vietnam, a fun update to the classic maxi dress with it's super adorable pink print! Of course I teamed it all with pink accessories and my slightly still pink hair. Pink hair just washes out way too fast, I think I'm too lazy for the upkeep so I'm going to be staying blonde for now. I do love how my pink hair looks though, just wish it lasted longer than 7 days at a time on me.

I picked up the fluffy pink pom pom ring and bangle at the recent Magic Designer Sale by Poms Jewellery. I've wanted both for ages, so happy to score them in the sale!
These heels are so comfy! I wore them to the graduate show at MSFW this year and had no issues even though there was lots of walking and standing that night. I actually vlogged that show over on my soon to be updated weekly YouTube channel so be sure to check that out and subscribe, it would mean so much to me!
