Pretty In Pink

Forever New top | Aje skirt | Windsor Smith heels | Forever New headband 

This would definitely have to be my ultimate summer outfit at the moment! And what a perfect day to wear it too. This skirt is by my favourite Australian label Aje. It's so different to anything else I've seen and the tassels dangling down the side are so cute. I love the shape, the fit and the feel of this skirt, not to mention it's wow factor. 

When putting together this outfit, starting with the skirt, I found that nudes tended to work best. Given it's soft pastel pink colour, no other colour seemed to compliment it the way this cream coloured top did. Choosing shoes then became an easy task because a nude coloured heel seemed the obvious choice. I added some gold and pastel jewellery and next thing I knew I had a complete outfit! 

For me it's all about every little detail, so incorporating jewellery and accessories (such as this headband) into my outfits gives them the important finishing touches they need. 

A Bit of Boho

Zara top | Billabong shorts | Betts sandals 

This type of clothing isn't normally my style but I love keeping an open mind when it comes to fashion and I'm always keen to try new things. I wore this on the weekend for a chilled day at the shops (where I got some much needed Christmas shopping done). This outfit would be perfect for festivals too though!

I was so happy to receive so many compliments throughout the day on my shoes (yes I'm finally wearing flats). I haven't worn these in a while, so decided to pull them out of the back of my wardrobe and show them off. They're actually from last season but I haven't seen any sandals as amazing as these yet this summer.

The best way to pull off wearing old season shoes or clothing is by teaming it with other current and on trend pieces, even it's only your bag or accessories. I wore these old shoes and shorts with this awesome fringe top that I bought from Zara in Barcelona this year and mixed it with vibrant accessories (very on trend at the moment). 

I finally changed my nail colour too! I've been looking for neon yellow for ages, so now I'm  a very happy girl. Hope you like!

A Pop of Colour

These are my favourite printed pants! They're comfortable, stylish and oh so chic.

I kept my accessories simple with a gold watch and necklace, plus a blue bracelet to tie in with my shoes. The outfit is a statement in it's own right, so there's no need to overdo things. I love this look because it's dramatic and confident.

Hair and Makeup

Sorry I haven't posted much in the last week. It's been kinda hectic lately as it's the end of the year and everything. My weekend was especially busy because my mum and two of my sisters came down to visit me from Brisbane. It was so much fun and I miss our girly times together so much! 

The weekend involved a whole lot of shopping, makeup and dress ups (that's what we girls do best)! My older sister is amazing at hair and makeup, so she gave me the usual tutorials. She did my hair in these pictures and I'm in love with it! I've been trying to do something similar myself for ages (except twisting instead of braiding). I really want to learn how to do it because wearing my hair up like this will be a life saver on bad hair days. I also get bored of wearing my hair down all the time, so I'm trying to find other cool ways to style it. 

We also bought some new Dior makeup to play around with on the weekend and it's definitely my new favourite. We used the Dior Expert Eye Palette (Limited Edition) and Emily did one eye, while I tried to recreate it on the other eye. It wasn't a complete fail on my behalf, but I'm not even close to being able to do what my sister can. One day I'll get there (hopefully!)...

Dior Expert Eye Palette (Limited Edition)

Here's my new Dior makeup palette. My mum bought it for me - she spoils me way too much. You should see the number of presents she's bought all of us for Christmas! We're so lucky to have her. 

This all-in-one compact features everything you need for a sophisticated eye look: shadows in shades of brown, taupe, and champagne, brow liner, eyeliner, a mini mascara and two double-sided applicators. I'll be using this every day from now on!

Dior 5-Couleurs Eyeshadow (Limited Edition) in Night Golds #524

I've also ordered this eyeshadow palette for Christmas because they're all sold out everywhere. It's so pretty and obviously very popular too. I love these colours and think they really suit me. These shadows can be mixed to create day or night time look and I'll probably be able to mix the colours with the palette I've already bought too.

I've got a long way to go in hair and makeup but I'm such a typical girly girl, so I love learning all about it and getting lessons from my big sis. Can't wait to play with my new makeup and hopefully sort out my hair too. Fun times ahead...

Blues

Supre playsuit | Tony Bianco heels | Sabo Skirt necklace

What a lovely day for a cute playsuit. I'm loving blue at the moment, so the playsuit was the first part of the outfit that I chose. I normally wouldn't wear blue shoes with an entirely blue outfit, but I couldn't find a pair of heels that looked better than these. I tried on a few different heels (white wedges, white and yellow strappy heels and nude shoes to name a few), but none of them felt right. Feeling frustrated, I reached for these as a last resort and voilà! - a match made in heaven. 

So today I'm in all blue and spicing it up with some colourful and funky jewellery too. Perfecto!
