what i'm dreaming of ...

These are just a couple of 'necessities' I'm lusting over because who wouldn't dream of an eyeshadow palette that smells and looks like a chocolate bar. I mean, come on. My life would be so much easier if I could just purchase these without worrying about gym memberships, uni or savings but that's another different story. Maybe if I buy them one at a time and not all at the same time I won't feel so bad about spending so much. But who cares there necessary! Right?

"With beautiful shoes comes great pain!" I'm pretty sure some famous person once said that, because with every shoe that looks too good to be true there comes the pain that literally is too bad to be true.
But putting all that good stuff aside these little gems are too pretty to think about the pain. I decided to go casual with a pair of good ol' denim and my new favourite clothing item, a black turtleneck, I picked up at target for a price that was too good to be true. Hah.


Until next time,

turtlenecks.

The turtleneck is a clothing item that is quickly making its way back into our wardrobes (hence, the reason I've given it, its own post). Turtlenecks have become a quick and easy 'i have nothing to wear' kinda outfit to throw on when you really do have nothing to wear. I hope this post convinces you that investing in one is essential for this winter season because apparently, they're here to stay.

Ah, winter has arrived (cue clapping in the background) and I could not be more happier. This winter, a couple of things I'm looking forward to are oversized fluffy jumpers, hot chocolate and sleeping in (yay to a whole month uni break)! But for now, let the winter wardrobe begin.

KATE MOSS X TOPSHOP

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the Kate Moss X Topshop preview at Topshop, Sydney. The supermodel, style icon and all round Topshop advocate had a lot to showcase. From fringe jackets, sequin dresses and metallic shirts, Moss has a range of items across her four, show stopping collections: Balearic Dressing, Cocktail Hour, Pyjama Dressing and Tailoring Noir.

Mini Haul.

April.
These are just a couple of items that I've accumulated over the past two to three weeks. Having a part time job, an open bank account and mid semester uni break just screams out disaster. Literally. 

(From top left: Victoria's Secret Deep Berry eau de toilette, Essie 'Blanc' nail polish, Bardot jeans, Sportsgirl tank, Lancome mascara, Lipstik 'Taken' slides, Asos sunglasses, Sportsgirl tote, Mor marshmallow scented candle)

I've officially jumped on the bandwagon; using Polyvore to show your hauls and wish lists. I must admit it's waaaay easier (no more worrying about lighting and layout!). I also use Polyvore to show cast some of the outfits I would rather be wearing. You can check out my polyvore account here.

the perfect plaid shirt.

I've been on the hunt for the 'perfect plaid shirt' for a while now. The perfect colour. The perfect fit. It's such a great investment and key staple in any wardrobe. I've always wanted to rock the plaid shirt with a leather jacket and pair of jeans for the ultimate laid back rocker chic vibe.
