Hello lovelies,

So I have been a big fan of Estee Lauder for a long time. I have been using a few of their products including the Double Wear, Stay-In-Place Flawless Wear concealer with SPF 10 and some of their pure colour lipsticks for years now so I thought I'll share my thoughts about these products with you!

I'm one of those people that have always had dark circles under their eyes and this concealer does wonders for just that. It's very lightweight but has great coverage so you don't need much of the product to banish those Panda eyes! I have used the concealer on an everyday basis and it lasts me a good 6 to 8 months. It also stays on all day, until you decide to remove it with make up remover or a cleanser. It also blends in smoothly to give you a very natural look.

The Pure Colour Long Lasting Lipstick in Candy (left) is the perfect lip colour for Summer. It has a medium Pink tone with a shimmer that lasts for a good few hours. I would recommend wearing it with a lip liner underneath to ensure that it stays on for longer without straying if needed, but it's not essential to do so. It's perfect for both day and night wear and its' creamy and hydrating effect is perfect if you have dry lips! The amazing smell of the lipstick is an added bonus.

The Pure Colour Long Lasting Lipstick in Rose Tea (right) has essentially the same staying power and texture as Candy however, the colour is Brown with a hint of Pink. It's perfect for everyday wear, for both night and day and will suit all skin tones. If you would like to give one of the Estee Lauder lipsticks a go but you're in doubt about which colour to choose, I would highly recommend Rose Tea as it is the perfect colour for all skin tones and all occasions.

Until next time my beauties!

Valentine's Day Edit

Valentine's Day is one of my favourite days of the year! It feels like every corner of every street is filled with love and appreciation. Even if you don't have a significant other, it's a day when a girl can spoil herself without having to have an excuse or to spoil and be spoiled by your best friends!

I'm a girl that loves to stick with the Red and Pink theme for Valentine's Day, but if that's not your style, a little black dress will always do! It's classy and a skater style dress as the one above suits a variety of body shapes. Once you've found the perfect dress to wear on a date or night out with the besties, you can style your accessories in subtle pinks and nude beige tones to give a nod to the theme surrounding V Day.

Hope you all have a fantastic Valentine's day and get spoiled rotten, even if you're planning to do it yourself!

Mustard

Hi everyone!

Let me just start off with a tiny rant about how this has been the worst Summer in Melbourne, ever. There I was getting through my Uni semester last year dreaming of the Summer holidays and all that I'll be doing in the 35 degree weather. And here I am suffering through another 18 degree day. I can't even wear all the outfits I had planned for the holidays! But, I can't let the absence of warm sunny days get me down so I have welcomed Autumn/Winter of 2015 with open arms to my wardrobe.

It's a bit tricky to pair Mustard as a colour with outfits, but this oversized monochrome shirt does it for me. When I found these jeans in Zara I instantly fell in love with the coated texture and the colour. I don't have any other Mustard coloured items in my wardrobe so I didn't really need another reason to get them!

Hope you guys like the look and that your Summer is going great, despite the gloomy days!

Hello beautiful people,

Hope your year is off to a great start! Mine has been packed with meetings, work and studying for some exams for Uni (not the way I wanted to spend my Summer holidays) but I've tried to find some time for play.

This is a look I put together for a day out in the city for a meeting, some shopping and also a lunch date during a 35 degree day. The hardest task in Summer it seems, is to look trendy and chic in the hot weather. This gorgeous top however, ensured that I could look my best for the day and also be comfortable during the day.

Happy lazy Summer days!

First of all, Happy New Year everyone! Hope that this year brings you joy, happiness, love and that you're able to achieve all of those goals and resolutions!

I spent my New Years going for a drive up to Yarra Valley and then going out to lunch. The day called for a casual look so I paired White pants with a Burberry top and Pink heels to keep it simple and pretty.

Pretty excited about what the year ahead is going to bring - Let's do this!
