Yeah, I love this park.

I adore this dress. I have had it for almost four years now (to be honest, I haven't a clue how I even scored it). I remember it being really long, so I took it up above the knee and here it is today. I have re-worked it so many times with crazy chains, shirts underneath, huge jackets over it, flats, heels, boots. It literally is flawless. 

Last night my boyfriend (Dan) and I went back to the Soccer field again while the sun was setting and did another outfit post. I really love this Soccer (or football?) field, it's so quiet despite being off a main road. I love the little gems you find just by walking around the London suburbs. The other day we found an old run down nuclear bomb site/bunker thing that was used in World War 2. True story.

In this outfit post, I am wearing a thrifted tie up shirt from Brighton, high waisted skirt from Sportsgirl, red Primark socks (they come in a 4 pack, bargain!), and TopShop sandal heals. 

Last night my boyfriend and I went to Hampstead (north London) to go see To Rome With Love at Everyman Cinema. I had never actually been to Hampstead before (despite it being quite close to where I live), but my God, it is insane. It's basically where all of the celebs and people who have too much money go to live and aim to be seen walking down High Street decked out head to toe in Louis Vuitton. I had prepared myself for what I'd do if I saw Ricky Gervais who is often spotted walking around Hampstead (ridiculously huge fan - probably would've lost my shit), but alas, no sighting. Sad days.

If you haven't already been, Everyman Cinemas are amazing. They are in quite a few locations around London (for more information, go to their website; www.everymancinema.com). They mainly show independent films, but the selling point is that there is a bar at the back of the cinema! So while you are watching the film, you can order tapas, pizza's and a bottle of wine. Bullshit good. And you get to sit on sofa's! What more could you want? To Rome With Love (latest Woody Allen film) was incredible. Please go see it!

We quickly did a sneaky outfit shoot before the movies in a random road off High Street. Enjoy!

Wearing; H&M mint coloured dress, thrifted chain necklace, Ralph Lauren tortoise shell frames, and thrifted black patent shoes.

Another day, another bright outfit.

Okay, so I am starting to notice a trend with my outfits. I think I really like bright colours. In fact, all of my most recent purchases of late have been bright blue's, yellows and red's. *Makes mental note to wear black from now on*.

This dress was a Brighton purchase in a cute little thrift store on the main street while we were en route to the beach. I love random finds like this when you aren't necessarily looking for anything (it's usually  when I find the best stuff). I never really thought I could ever pull off red, so I made a bit of a mission a few months ago to find the perfect red vintage dress. I adore this one, however I am not convinced it is the dress, so the search still continues :(

Wearing: ASOS sunglasses, vintage red dress, Sportsgirl necklace and thrifted pastel pink sandals.

A little ray of sunshine.

I dread those days. You know the ones when you casually check your hotmail (people still use hotmail, right?), and there is an email from ASOS saying "70% off sale". Yeah, them. 'The ASOS addiction', my boyfriend calls it (I wonder if there is an ASOS anonymous? I would seriously consider going). When I still lived in Australia, there was the horrible anticipation of having to wait up to 2 weeks for my purchases to get delivered. However now that I live in the UK, they basically turn up at my door step 48 hours later, which makes it all that more tempting (it kills me and my poor bank account). The other day at work, on completely separate occasions throughout the day, three ASOS packages turned up for me. HaTeRz GoNnA HaTe. ASOS for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yep.

I bought this bright yellow dress off ASOS in one of their many ridiculously cheap sales about two months ago with quite a bit of hesitation. I actually thought to myself, "you will never wear it", but I had previously made a promise to myself to try and wear colours that I usually wouldn't. Y'know, push the boundaries. Well, that I did. I usually wear this dress with a cute pair of boots or, even black sandals. To be fair, it has been a bit of a bitch trying to match any kind of accessory with it, but I then reached a conclusion that this dress is a statement of it's own and needs minimal additions to complement it.

Wearing: black ribbon (I think I drunkenly stole it off a Christmas present one year and thought to myself "I could do something with this" - I certainly did), yellow ASOS dress, TopShop pastel Green nail polish, and Wittner black canyon leather boots (www.wittner.com.au).

Not sure what I am doing here, probably some kind of rendition of Single Ladies.

It's Fraaaday.

Friday's would have to be my most favourite day of the week (of course). The whole day at work is filled with a ridiculous amount of anticipation for the weekend (and well, for beer o'clock), and it makes it ten times better when the weather is going to be uh-mazing.

Tonight my boyfriend and I went for a walk around my suburb (I live 20 minutes outside of central London), and we found an old Soccer oval surrounded by huge trees. The sun was setting, so I thought it would be a perfect time to do a sneaky outfit post.

Wearing: Vintage white silk kimono purchased from Smith Street in Melbourne, thrifted peach coloured tie up shirt, thrifted multi coloured midi skirt from Brixton village, red socks from Primark, and TopShop shoes.

WELCOME TO BEAR GRILLZ

Welcome to Bear Grillz! 

My name is Sarah (nickname "Bear", hence the name Bear Grillz). I am a 23 year old Public Relations and Design Graduate from Melbourne who is currently living in London.

My blog is nothing fancy. I have never studied fashion, nor do I necessarily claim to be a “fashionista” as such. I simply enjoy the powerfulness that fashion just IS. Fashion gives us, as individuals, the opportunity to be who we want, make people perceive and interpret us however they/we want, as well as creating an identity.

I adore vintage and thrift stores (in fact, most of my wardrobe are random finds under £5), as well as mixing it with some sneaky higher end pieces to make a quirky outfit. I love girly dresses, and wearing cute socks. I love mixing colours that don’t necessarily go together but somehow work. I love mixing denim dresses with odd thrift store shirts, and over sized trench coats and capes. 

Ever since I started becoming aware of the fashion world, I made a promise to myself that I was always going to be different to the next person. Fashion is an extraordinary avenue and powerful tool in order to do this. It’s all about looking individual and diverse, no matter what you wear or what your style is.

Now that all the pretentious wank is over, enjoy Bear Grillz. Happy reading, ya'll x
