OUTFIT OF THE DAY | Print & Bow

27 March 2016







My Outfit:
Top: Dissh
Shorts: Dissh
Bracelet: ASOS
Sandals: Kmart

Hey loves! Hope you've had a lovely week - I'm so sorry for the lack of posts over the last few days! I've been a bit busy (I got a new job at last, after almost 5 weeks back in Brisbane!!) and honestly a little bit unmotivated, but it's holidays and I knew I needed to get my butt into gear and get back into things!

Last weekend Dissh was having a 20% off all full priced items sale, so of course I picked up some things! The top and shorts normall would have totalled $100 but I grabbed them for $80 and I'm so so happy because I just love them! The shorts are the cutest and look really nice/dressy and classy, perfect for almost any occasion. And the top is high-neck (hello obsession) and black (hello again, obsession) and cropped (yup hello!!) so of course I'm loving it! And I think that put together they make the cutest lil' outfit that I wore to uni the other day actually!

What do you think of this look? Let me know below xx

OUTFIT OF THE DAY | The Shift Dress

My Outfit;
Shift Dress - Dissh
Floppy Hat - Factorie
Necklace - Colette
Bracelet - Diva
Shoes - H&M

Hey lovelies! I hope you've all had a great week, I know I have! I was browsing the racks of my local Dissh store on Monday and I discovered this total gem of a dress, and after applying my student discount, I managed to snap it up for only $46.25! What a great deal! 

It's got the nicest feeling material, super comfortable and really flattering I feel! I love that I can dress it up, but I can also dress it down as a casual outfit for uni - I know I'll get a lot of wear out of this one!

What do you think of this dress? Let me know down below, and have a lovely week!

BEAUTY | The Perfect Lash Edit

10 March 2016



Longer, thicker, blacker, and more beautiful lashes. That's what every girl wants, am I right?

You wouldn't think it, but achieving the perfect lashes can actually be pretty darn difficult - but don't fret, I'm here to help you out and show you how to perfect your lashes! 

Personally, my lashes are the most important part of my daily makeup routine. I really don't think I could leave the house without having done something to make them 'pop'.

I consider myself quite lucky, my lashes are naturally quite long and relatively thick, and I've never really felt the need to wear falsies as unless they're super dramatic, they don't seem to make much of a difference for me! However, if you have much shorter or thinner lashes and really want that extra 'vavoom', then go ahead and apply a pair of your favourite falsies.

So now, onto the good stuff. I always start by curling my lashes. I used to think curling was completely useless and never understood why so many people did this step - until I picked up an eyelash curler for myself.




I love this Revlon Eyelash Curler that I picked up from my local Priceline for only $12.99! It does the job well, doesn't pull at my lashes and comes with a second cushion curl pad for when the first gets a little worse for wear.

Now for the mascara. I am absolutely obsessed with mascara, I have so many different ones and I just keep picking up more. But, despite trying likely more than half of the mascaras on the market (possibly an exaggeration!) I have always come back to the following two.




Benefit's They're Real: I'll start off with a newer purchase of mine, the They're Real mascara is quite pricey at $40, however if you want to splurge (or better yet, can grab it either on sale or as part of a gift set - or both as I did, you can see my unboxing video of the 'You're So Party Gift Set' here), I think it's definitely a really lovely product. This mascara is great for separating and lengthening your lashes, and is also extremely black (which is an important area that I find some mascara's to be lacking in). Also, it's next to impossible to get this stuff off - it simply doesn't budge, so if you're looking for a good quality, long-lasting mascara then this may just be for you!




Maybelline's Lash Sensational: This is the best drugstore mascara I've ever used, and actually my holy grail mascara (yes, even over my Benefit They're Real Mascara). It does an amazing job at thickening, volumising and lengthening my lashes in just one coat, however I often like to add a second coat to really enhance the effect of my lashes. The only possible downside to this mascara is that often throughout the day I'll need to touch up my foundation under my eyes as it will leave a slight black smudge in the area, which can be annoying but is nothing major and nothing I can't fix in a matter of seconds, so no biggie!



I hope you found this post helpful and interesting - I'd love to know what some of your favourite products are to get the perfect lashes, or if you also use some of the three essentials I swear by! Leave a comment letting me know!

Have a lovely week!

BEAUTY | MAC's 'Faux' Lipstick

7 March 2016





My very first MAC lipstick - you have no idea how excited I was to finally pick this gorgeous lippy up! I'd been contemplating doing so for some time, always backing out because $36 seemed a lot of money for a lipstick. But now that I've hopped on the long-running MAC lipstick bandwagon, well, I've been converted!

This is honestly the most gorgeous colour, a beautiful, slightly muted mauvy semi-nude pink. I think a major drawcard for MAC lipsticks is that the colours are so unique, and as close as other brands may come to creating similar colours, MAC seems to get it just right.

Faux is a Satin finish, which means it has a smooth and moisturising finish that isn't as drying as a matte lipstick, but also isn't as glossy as a cremesheen. I'll have to try the other finishes first of course, but I already feel like I'm a Satin kinda girl!

The lipstick is long-wearing and only really needs a light touch-up after eating, which is great because it means you're not wasting heaps of product, making it last longer.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with this lipstick and I'm super excited to continue to grow my collection in the near future (Velvet Teddy, Blankety and Diva, I'm looking at you)!


What MAC lipsticks do you guys own and love? Leave me a comment letting me know down below!

OUTFIT OF THE DAY | Suede & Minimal

4 March 2016





My Outfit:
Top - Factorie
Bag - Colette
Shorts - Temt
Bracelet - Diva
Signet Ring - Prouds
Shoes - Kmart

These shorts are fast becoming one of my favourite statement pieces in my wardrobe. I love the colour, and I love that suede is in because I've always been obsessed with it and being able to wear it out and about is the best thing ever! 

These shorts are so comfy and paired with minimal black pieces and some simple silver jewellery, it's a very casual yet put together look. I actually wore this outfit the other day for my first day back at uni and I felt super comfortable and stylish in it.

I hope you're all well and have an amazing week!
