Just a quick outfit that I wore on the last day of uni for 2014. Yep, you heard it the first time I have officially finished university for 2014. No more exams, no more cramming last minute assignments and definitely no more procrastinating set readings haha (well for four months only and then we're back at it but let's not think that far ahead). I recently was on the hunt for the perfect summer sandal. I promised myself time and time again I wouldn't cave in to the 'birks' trend that's been going around. But when I saw these beautiful babies I couldn't resist. I will be wearing them to death. Literally. If you see someone in these shoes, it'll probably be me.


Until next time,

October Favourites | Beauty Edition ♡

Holy cow! That's the only term that comes to mind when I think about how fast October has rushed past us, how December is ONE month away (wtf) and the fact that I turn 19 in sixty six days !!!! Putting all that good stuff aside, today I have a monthly favourites post. October was by far the most busiest month for me. During October I started my internship with a fashion agency, I finished my first year of uni and I was in the middle of house renovation. How's that for life. 

Also another thing that a friend recommended I read which is unfortunately not pictured below is 'Everyday Sexism' by Laura Bates. If you haven't heard of it I recommend you go to your nearest bookstore and pick it up because it will change your life. Otherwise you can search the hashtag #EverydaySexism on twitter and scroll through the endless amounts of tweets to make you dwell on our so called free and 'equal' society. But if you scroll down now you'll see some of the products i've been loving over the past month. 

Lorac Pro Palette, The Balm Hot Mama, Savvy Mineral Baked Bronzer,
Nyx Eyeshadow Base, Essie 'Spin the Bottle', Benefit Gimme Brow,
Garnier Eye Roll-on BB Cream.

Until next time,

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?

( Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette, Nars Laguna Bronzer, Essie polish, Nars Lipgloss, Mac Strobe Cream, Mac Lipstick, Sigma brush, Smashbox Primer )

"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.
