Much Loved from March


Hey guys! A quarter of the year has passed. Sorry, what?! Time flies by so quickly it's insane. Moving on, I just thought I'd do a post to share with you a random assortment of things I've been loving this month. I always thought it would be fun to rave about stuff I like unrestrictedly in a list format. So, enjoy & hope March was a good month for you :) 

   1.  Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell


Of course, I'm starting off with a book. I don't even know where to begin - I loved it so much I wish I hadn't read it so I could re-read it. After readThe Narrow Road to the Deep North, which was admittedly amazing, it was also hella depressing. Like, think of the deepest depression you know and dig deeper (as you would expect a book about POWs). Fangirl was a return into the YA realm and oh how I missed it. The main character is starting out university and socially awkward - which makes her totally relatable. I just fell completely in love with this book and marvelled at how it's both tense and lighthearted. Also, Levi is the ultimate book boyfriend oh my god. Don't get me started.

   2.  Too Faced Melted Lipsticks


If you're no stranger to the world of beauty, I can guarantee you've heard countless raves about these lipsticks. But you're gonna hear it (or read it) now from me, they are seriously the bees knees, the bomb dot com- whatever idiom floats your boat is what goes right now. They are 100% worth the hype, and if you've ever tried one - you know why. The pigmentation, application and colour range. are all on point - there is nothing more you could ask for from a lip product.

   3. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara


I know, I know another Too Faced product, I'm a self-acclaimed addict. Nevertheless, this was my first high-end mascara product and it did not disappoint. I'm surprised how much of a difference it actually made to my lashes. I might do a review on this product soon, so I'll rave further about it then.

   4.  Whiplash 

This list wouldn't be complete without a movie (or a few). But this month, Whiplash is simply the movie I cannot stop talking about. People must think I'm crazy because I must've asked at least 75% of the people I know if they've seen it - just so I can talk about it with someone new. Even if you're not a music person, the movie is amaaaazing. And if you are, it just gets better. Miles Teller's performance completely won me over - I no longer dislike you Miles, and I'm sorry I did.

      5. Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More Vinyl 




I hadn't listened to Mumford & Sons in agesss so when they came on Spotify the other day I was hit by a wave of nostalgia since I loved them so much throughout highschool. Naturally, I decided I had to have Sigh No More on vinyl seeing as I love every song on this album. I ordered it on JB Hi-Fi in the spur of the moment, so when it came I actually had forgotten about it but it sure made my day. I've been non-stop listening to it since then and the sound quality is amazing I'm in loveee.

That's all from me for March & I am beyond excited for April, especially since the weather has finally started getting colder. Also, I'm off to Melbourne this Saturday, so you'll definitely be reading about that soon! 

Love, Thy x

You're The One That I Want


Hey everyone :) Last Friday night, I went to the Angus and Julia Stone 2015 Summer Tour concert at Riverstage. They were absolutely amazing live and I'm suffering major post concert depression whilst writing this. I used to listen to them religiously throughout 2011-2012 and I practically know all the words to at least two whole albums. Thus, when I heard they were performing at Riverstage, I impulsively bought tickets straightaway which proves impulsivity isn't always a bad thing. 


Playsuit - Minkpink
Riverstage in the early hours - soo many couples
The tour included supporting acts by Jarryd James, Little May and Cloud Control. I was never really familiar with Cloud Control but after seeing their live performance, I am obsessed. I can't stop listening to their latest album Dream Cave. 

My newfounded love
After a lot of death glares and pushing and shoving, I came to be third from the front. Throughout the night, I was constantly torn between "I need to record this" and "I should not be on my phone". I recorded a few minutes here and there that were too precious not to but I ran out of phone space. Without thinking, I deleted like half of my apps to make space. I woke up the next morning thinking "wtf why is my phone so empty", I still don't remember what apps I deleted...


Before standing for 3+ hours straight, I regret not wearing socks so much
The most perfect human - I idolise her so much

I still am processing the fact I saw them live, I cannot stress enough how incredible it was. During the encore, Cloud Control joined them for a cover of 'Stay With Me' and it was the most beautiful  3 minutes of my life. If I had to pick a favourite of the night, it would be Julia's cover of 'You're the One That I Want'. After the concert, I took a cab to Jenny's 18th party which just had to be on the same night, which meant I missed most of the party (sorry babe!). Nevertheless, I hope her night was amazing. 

I'm really sad this photo decided to focus on Jono
Mary & Reiko being hot as usual


Despite getting home really late, I woke up super early the next morning to make sure I would enough time to get everything ready for Valentines. And yet, I still managed to be rushed which probably had something to do with changing outfits fifty times. To celebrate Valentines, which coincidentally happens to be our anniversary, we decided to stick with simple and go out for dinner. We went to Vapianos for pizza and complimentary chocolate coated strawberries. On a side note, I actually hate restaurants with dim lighting, like okay I understand you're being atmospheric and such but seriously this lighting makes flattering selfies more difficult than it should be. 

I don't trust people who don't like pizza
"Babe, can I just eat it please"
Happy Valentines and  18 months anniversary bub ♥

After 1.5 years of dating, he still doesn't know how to focus on photos on my phone 
Matcha Ice Cream at Bonsai Botanika - the presentation was adorable
No one knows me better :3 
 I'm sorry if this was a seriously long post but a lot happened within a timeframe of 48 hours. Thank you for persevering until the end! 
Love, Thy xx
