My love for all things RAINBOW has gained a new meaning with the marriage equality postal vote that is now taking place in Australia. As someone who believes strongly in equality for all I will of course be voting a big fat YES on my form. I really feel for those in the LGBTQIA community who are struggling since the announcement of this postal vote, struggling because their lives and rights are being questioned and debated publicly with such hatred and homophobia coming out in full force. It really should not be up for public debate at all, the government should have taken a stand and made marriage equality legal a long time ago. If you don't like gay marriage then the answer is pretty simple, vote yes and then just don't get gay married yourself. Why should you have a say in how other people live their lives? So please if you are in Australia and of a legal age to vote please vote YES and let everyone have the chance at having their relationship recognised. Love is love πππππ
To post in my postal vote I decided to wear all RAINBOW to mark the occasion. I am so in love with my Monika Forsberg for Gorman dress, the bell sleeves are so cute and the print is so fun and perfect for spring!
I am living for and loving EVERYTHING rainbow right now. I just can not get enough of rainbow stripped anything so as soon as I saw this dress I new I wanted and needed it in my life. Everywhere I went I got people stopping me to tell me they loved my outfit, so I knew I was onto a winner (not that I need validation or anything) Outfit details Rainbow dressLazy Oaf Pink denim patch & pin jacket DIY (similar here and here) Red Tights H&M Pink glitter bootsASOS Heart musk lolly bangles Save Yourself Shop (very old) Pink flower ringNaomi Murrell Heart earrings From my sister's trip to Mexico Pink tote bag Sunday Social
So many new additions to my fab DIY pink denim jacket! Hopefully I have listed everything correctly down below. Did you know this jacket was originally white and I dyed it pink myself and then ironed and hand sewed on all the patches? The tutorial can be found on the now sadly defunct City Chic blog.
a surprise dick pic pin! I was at a party wearing this DIY jacket when Dylan himself came up to me and gifted me the pin saying it had to belong to me. It totally made my night!!!
How epic is this bright pink wall with blue and yellow accents we found to shoot in front of in Brunswick?
My rainbow looks so good in front of this location!
The wind was making the shoot a little difficult but we got there in the end - you can kinda see how frustrated I was in my face here lol. I hate you wind!
The cute little embroidered heart just adds that little something extra that you come to expect from Lazy Oaf.
After I had such a fun time last year at the Royal Melbourne Show I was extra excited to attend again this year. If you follow me on Snapchat (@fashionhayley) then you would know I may have had a little too much fun as I posted one too many drunk videos of me and my friend screaming on roller coasters and inside the haunted mansion. It was so much fun I even went back a second time, taking advantage of the after 5pm cheaper ticket and taking a date with me and my friend. Well drunk Hayley may have proceeded to do the most embarrassing thing of all time that night, I made my date and I facebook official when it was only our 4th date! Oh my god, waking up the next day to messages from family and friends congratulating us and asking so many questions, I have never been so mortified. I promptly deleted the facebook post but I don't think I will ever live this one down. Honestly though it was pretty bloody hilarious.

To be honest I rarely buy clothes from Sportsgirl any more but when I saw my friend and super hot babe Flossylox rock this two piece on her instagram I was in LOVE and knew I had to get my hands on it. So when it went on sale I swooped in and snapped it up. I got so many compliments on it at the show, I love how bright and in your face it is.
Remember in my last post I wrote that I'm a big kid at heart, well here is the evidence - me having the best time on the carousel.
So beyond obsessed with these earrings. Doodad and Fandango can and will make you clip on's if you ask nicely. LOVE when a jewellery label can do that for me ✿♥‿♥✿
I 100% recommend supporting small indie designers over buying mass produced pins. I regret buying these from Sportsgirl but one thing I do like is I don't mind losing one as they're so cheap, so wearing them on all the rides I never worried one bit.
I recently sold my previous more orange colour Kankan backpack that I adored simply because I was able to get my hands on this more pastel pink one. These backpacks are so durable and comfortable and they can hold oh so much. I used my last one all throughout Vietnam and Japan and it was still as good as new. I can not recommend them enough!

These shoes are so comfy, perfect for a long day of walking around.
I'm very lucky that my street here in Melbourne has a lot of incredible street art. It really makes walking the dog a lot of fun, seeing what is new on the walls this week. They also conveniently make great backdrops for blog outfit photography! I thought this 'Living the Dream' piece by artist Camille Walala was the perfect backdrop for my super colourful almost Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat inspired outfit. The dress is a new buy from local Melbourne label Obus. I instagram'd a change room try on pic asking if I should indeed buy it and got an overwhelming response of HECK YES! So not one to disappoint the people (what did I just say?) I went ahead and bought it. I'm selfless like that, always thinking of others! Jokes aside I do love this dress, the Aguayo inspired print is just incredible.
It's been incredibly windy in Melbourne of late so my hair was a little worse for wear in these photos after being blown around all day. But whatevs at least I'm semi smiling for once.
Melissa Australia kindly sent me these Japanese Geta inspired flatform jelly shoes and they've fast become my favourite pair. I love me a good flatform but these are extra special because of that mash up of traditional Japanese footwear and the modern jelly shoe.
