Winter's coming! Modern Family star Ariel cuts a casual figure in skinny ripped jeans as she steps out for a pampering session   

She bid an emotional farewell to her significantly older boyfriend before leaving Sydney and jetting back to her native Los Angeles on Monday afternoon.

And her apparent reluctance to leave actor Levi Meaden as he continues to film on location in the Australian coastal city was reflected in her latest appearance as she stepped out for a pampering session.

The Modern Family star, 18, kept her head down while calling into a local salon to have her long hair cut and dyed on Wednesday afternoon.

Stepping out: Ariel Winter's apparent reluctance to leave actor Levi Meaden as he continues to film on location in the Australian coastal city was reflected in her latest appearance as she stepped out for a pampering session on Wednesday afternoon 

Emerging some time later, Ariel made a beeline for a local café, where she grabbed some much needed refreshments before making her way back to her car.

Sporting a simple grey sweater and ripped skinny jeans, Ariel cut a low-key figure while venturing out little more than a day after her lengthy flight home. 

The actress returned to her native Los Angeles after spending time with boyfriend Levi 29,  who is currently filming Pacific Rim 2 in New South Wales.

Go hands free like Ariel in her Versace backpack

If we were to crown 'THE IT' bag of the season it undoubtedly would have been the Versace Medusa tote bag.

Just about everyone from Bella Hadid to Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss and Kate Hudson toted around this luxe piece of arm candy.

So it's no surprise that we spotted Ariel Winter pushing forward the trend with her Versace Medusa Grommet Embellished Backpack as she ran errands around Los Angeles this afternoon.

The value of being hands free is incalculable and to do so while being stylish at the same time? Well that's what we call a win-win!

This back-to-school classic comes with a hefty price tag ($2295) but it's unfortunately now sold out. That being said, we rounded up the next best thing in the style carousel below!

Prior to her appearance in Sydney Ariel was holidaying in Bora Bora, reportedly with travelling companion Nolan Gould, who plays her younger brother on Modern Family.

The teenager has complained that she comes under fire for doing what every other girl her age does.

Ariel still doesn't understand why she gets backlash for posting images of her scantily-clad ensembles to her 3.6M social media followers.

'They kind of glorify and objectify a lot of the things that I do, and I wish people would just see me as the normal 18-year-old that I am,' she previously lamented to Self magazine.

'I'm doing the same things that everybody my age is doing...people are taking it and making it [seem] like I’m doing stuff that is crazy when really I’m just being me. I wish people would see that.'

The aspiring federal prosecutor graduated from Campbell Hall School last June, and she plans on beginning her pre-law studies at UCLA this fall.
