The simple things in Life

There’s nothing better than a house full of flowers to make your day! Recently I had some surgery (nothing big) and I was very lucky to have my house full of flowers. I find them not only beautiful but also refreshing and cleansing.  I love waking up in the morning, rolling over to my night stand and looking up at them. The scent of them instantly puts you in a happy mood! Well me anyway.

 

 

So I couldn’t help but take some photos featuring not only my gorgeous flowers but some of my other new, favourite things. I am in love with the MAC mineralize skin finish in Light years. I use this as a highlight and it is without a doubt my favourite! It has the right amount of gold/ rosie pink/ shimmer to me it everything you would want in a Highlight.

Next featured is a favourite of mine since I ordered it! I first saw these on HRH Collection video, to which I fell in love straight away. The Faux fur keychain in black, I love how this adds an extra something to my bags and you know how much I love the some kind of details such as these. I got this from EllandEmmCO – check out there instagram account.

Next is MAC Lipstick in Creme Cup, I don’t have many nude lipsticks from MAC but this one has become a go to product for me. I love how this lipstick applies and stays on! The colour is perfect for everyday or goes so well if a dramatic, bold Smokey eye.

Lastly a piece of jewellery that will never go out of fashion in my eyes anyways, a piece that made the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s so iconic.....  A pearl necklace! I love when paired properly, how classic but modern a good pearl necklace can look. Teamed with either a Little Black Dress or Jeans and a shirt it always looks effortlessly gorgeous.

 

 

So there you have some of my favourites !

Birthday Festivities

So as the title suggest I just had a birthday! I am a birthday lover. I love celebrating, mine, friends and family no matter who I cant help but celebrating with them. This may not be a shock for some people but I am a Pisces, we are renowned for being very passionate about birthdays.  As long as I can remember Birthdays have been special for me, definitely more than any other holidays or celebrations in the year. I feel that with other celebrations there not as individual, as most people are celebrating them with you and it’s not so special. Don’t get me wrong I love Christmas and Easter but there something so more special and personalised about birthdays, a day just for you.  

So not like we need an excuse to get together, but I did organised a night out for my friends and I. As I haven’t been going out that much lately I wanted to go to a cocktail bar and just relax, have a dance and some delicious drinks with my dearest friends.

When it came to my outfit I went shopping with an open mind, surprise,surprise though I ended up with a black dress. When I tried on this dress I knew straight away that this was what I was wearing. I literally said to my friends Kate and Pauline this is it from the changing rooms happy with excitement. 

 

Now we know I am not shy from some dramatic, statement costume jewellery.  So my friends helped me pick out a beautiful necklace that had some gorgeous bright blue stones on it. I loved how it looked with the dress. I added some blue into my eye shadow to enhance and make the colour from my necklace pop.

OOTD Emerald Statement

 

I love statement pieces whether it’s a bold piece of jewellery and colourful handbag or an exciting item of clothing. I love how it transforms the look and personalises it into what you bought off the rack to a outfit that defines your own style. This to me is a great piece of clothing; I am all about buying items that when I see them I create the look then and there. I think of what you can wear with it and what will compliment from my own wardrobe.

I have spoken about this skirt before when I first purchased it and I love it! I love the bold sparkly emerald green colour and paired with a basic top it becomes my statement pieces.

Saturday Shopping

Naturally I am a sucker for beauty magazines and advertising, so when my weekly delivery of junk mail showed up to my house I was a very happy girl. My favourite department store here in Australia is Myers and I received their beauty mag with lots of new products and some things I have been eyeing off for quite some time now. I immediately called my girlfriend to arrange a shopping day on Saturday. Of course I was ecstatic about this soon to be shopping spree, but my bank account wasn’t. We spent most of Saturday walking through our fav shopping centre trying out and seeking for new products and new outfits to put together.

 As many of you would have seen from my wish list post there were some things I had wanted to purchase and try, I was so happy that I got to get the Million by Paco Rabanne perfume I had wanted. I couldn’t stop thinking about it; it was truly love at first smell, lol.I was lucky I picked up some other bits and pieces, but my friend Pauline who came with me really got some amazing bargains. There are so many sales on here in Australia because its coming into the hotter months, many stores are getting rid of their winter stock to make room for all the spring and summer fashion, it was a perfect chance to pick up some sale items.

 

 

 

Lovisa had a 3 for $10.00 sale so I purchased 6 items all but 1 being rings and 1 necklace. I couldn’t believe the prices as some of these rings originally were $14.99 each I really could miss up this opportunity.

I have wanted a pair of these sunglasses ever since I saw Alex from HRH Collection wearing them. I opted out of spending $400.00 dollars on a pair of designer ones as I think this will be a fashion that goes quickly. So when I spotted them in Dotti (a clothing store here in Aus) I was delighted, especially because they suited my face well and were only $20.00!

Oh course I couldn’t go shopping without a trip into my favourite drug store Priceline! I didn’t purchase much here this time but I did buy a Australis Concealer that Pauline had suggested.

I did for once buy something other than accessories, I know shock and horror right! It wasn't much but I purchase this beautiful peplum top by Jag and a simple black dress from Miss Shop both from Myers.

 

Thanks for viewing my blog! I have heaps of new blogs ready to put up, which will be going up after Monday next week. This weekend I am going on a mini getaway with friends so check out my instagram and future blog posts for OOTD

The little black dress. My way !

So as all of you would know by now I love my accessories! When putting an outfit together most people think of the clothes than the shoes, bag and jewellery for me it’s the other way around if I know what accessories I want to wear I normally will plan the outfit around that piece. So for me this is why a little black dress (LBD) is an absolute staple in my wardrobe.

This dress is so simple that I can accessories it to the max! Whether I am going to the shops or out for dinner I can transform this dress to make it a complete different look. A classic example of this would be with my emerald green obsession! An LBD looks amazing with emerald green hair up, with a statement necklace or earrings, red lip and heels. I find it is immediately a dressy, stylish look for the evening.

 The first look is my more dressy version of the LBD, the other 2 are more casual.

OOTD

I thought I would share one of my outfits from the other day! It was a beautiful sunny day in Perth, I had organised a lunch for Nathan’s Birthday with both of our families. We went to a restaurant at the boat harbour so it was semi dressy but not extremely. So I opted in for my go to outfit, pencil skirt and a peplum top. This has become an absolute staple in my wardrobe, as I feel most comfortable wearing it.

The main thing about my style is that it is quiet basic. I love to wear a plain top but then add a statement necklace to than give it life and extra colour. My accessories on this day however where very basic as it was a during the day  event and along the beach, I opted out of big feels and a statement necklace this time as I thought it would be a little to OTT.
