Update

Hello beautiful people!

Today I am feeling great because I have finished my very first exam block (a whole week dedicated to completing exams) of grade 12! Yay!! The completion of this week is doubly exciting because I have some very new and exciting things that will be happening in the next few weeks.

First things first (I'm the realest...I'm sorry I had to go there), but my formal is coming up next week! For all of you who are not Australian, this is the same as a senior prom, which means that it is very exciting! I am going to take a heap of photos, obviously, and will post them up on here! Secondly, after the formal I am on my two week Easter holidays, which will entail lots of outings and photo outfit opportunities, and I am going to experiment with my blogging style. I am hoping to be posting at least twice a week during the holiday period and have created many posts to upkeep my once a week posting I have been attempting to do during the school term.

I just wanted to keep you updated on what's going on with the blog. I update fairly frequently on social media (links on the side bar), so follow me on instagram- @denimdaydreamblog 

I hope you are just as excited as I am about what is to come!

Until next time lovelies,

Outfit of The Week- Walk The Plank

Hey guys, long time no post! I am so sorry that I haven't been updating all that much recently, but grade 12 is really taking it out of me. I wish I had more time for blogging as I do love the whole process, so hopefully I will have plenty of time to make a heap of posts during my break. There are many things that I am hoping to do with this blog, and new content should be coming soon! So many exciting things! I can't wait!! Now, back to this weeks OOTW... 

 

This Sunday's outfit of the week features these beautiful shorts and top hand made by Dyani. They are such quality and look so cute, we could hardly resist! The high waisted design of these shorts make them a very versatile piece of clothing, allowing you to wear cropped tops and also to tuck in longer tops. The pirate print is just so cute and fun, and is very unique, I've not ever seen a pattern quite like it. Thank you to my beautiful sister for modelling her adorable shorts! 

Until next time my lovelies,

Want to Make a Difference?

 

I, as a girl in the 21st century, want to feel as though I am honouring the women of my past, who fought hard throughout the first and second waves of feminism. I want to use my education, my rights, my voice to try and make a positive change for someone else, as they did for me all of those years ago. However, making this decision was the easy part, the difficult part is actually finding a way to make this contribution.

No longer do we protest through strikes, picket fences and tying ourselves to trees. Sure, these sort of protests do still exist, which I think is great, but as a student living in Australia, a country that is fortunate to have few problems (not saying that we don't have any, but that is a discussion to be had at another time), I do not have the opportunity to join in these said protests. So, in my desperation I have turned to my second home, the big blue, the Internet.

If you know what you are looking for, there are millions of sites, groups and campaigners asking for people to sign their petitions, join letter writing campaigns and to help make a difference. I was amazed that this was all out there, and I didn't even have a clue!

Change.org

This website is extremely useful and effective. You simply put in your location and servers will bring up petitions that are related to you and your area. To sign up, you simply find a petition fighting for something you agree with and believe in, put in your details and once you click sign petition, you will be signed up to the site. From there, you can track the progress of the petition, share with your friends and find out whether the petition has been successful or not.

Globalcitizen.org

Yet another very good website for raising awareness. The difference between this site and change.org is that global citizen is not solely built upon petitions that relate to you and your country. This site provides information on issues that are world wide, some contain petitions you can sign, others simply have a whole lot of interesting information that you have the opportunity to research further and to share with others. You earn points for sharing and signing petitions, so you can see how involved and how much of a difference in raising awareness you are helping out with.

You can also join letter writing campaigns for environmental, political or social issues. Simply go to the good old Google search bar and type in something along the lines of " (Issue) letter writing", and something is bound to come up. If not, find the council or organisation website, make an enquiry about letter writing services and go from there.

I am so glad that I took the step to find out how I can feel like and make a difference in the world and with issues that I care about greatly. I would love to see what you guys can do, because as citizens in a global society, and being the ones privileged and lucky enough to live in countries that value education and provide opportunities to help make a difference, it is our duty to do all we can to help others experience the life we do everyday.

I hope you enjoyed this different kind of post!

Until next time lovelies,

Video Star

Recently, I have been turning to the art of video and photography to find inspiration, particularly in music videos. To share this inspiration, I've collated my favourite music videos. These beauties not only have crazy catchy songs, but are so aesthetically pleasing, I just can't get over it!!

This is a classic. I love ABBA and 'Waterloo' is my go to pump up song ATM. I just love the whole seventies disco feel.

Who doesn't love when Paul McCartney is strumming on a guitar? I also greatly appreciate Kanye busting out a few moves.

Everything. Just, everything.

I love Zella's style and when the lighting in this video is just gorgeous.

And finally,

I know the last one isn't exactly a music video, but how can you NOT get inspired by it?! I just love the sequins in Zach's beard.

I hope you liked the post for this week. Let me know in the comments which videos you are loving at the moment.

Until next time my lovelies,
