Loving Antipodium

If my budget permitted, I would be dressed head-to-toe in Antipodium this Winter. Absolutley loving their AW10 Brides Of Christ range.


I HEART this skirt.

Lovefool Vest & Better The Devil Skirt


Lurrrrrving this cute mini and spotted tee.

Rosary Tee & Amen Mini


This teemed with tights and ankle booties = my winter party dress

Who knew Cindy was so wise...

One of my fave quotes:

"Have faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true" - Cinderella

One thing which gets my goat...

I dont understand the trend of leggings as pants. It is vulgar and makes me cringe...

For Uni, we were asked to create an editorial article. On any subject we liked. Here is an excerpt from my article titled "Leggings are NOT pants"

"This isn’t a difficult concept, so why do copious amounts of women continue to wear them and continue to give everyone an eyeful? We could blame the notorious pants hater Lindsay Lohan, yet I think the blame lies with thee ole jolly Robin Hood. Hood was known for his plummy quips and extraordinary bowmanship, but most importantly his spandex green tights. Whether you swooned or crooned at the sight of Hood’s very prevalent genitals, somehow the message of these tights got lost in translation. In the ancient times, they were worn to show a man’s ‘masculinity’ but today in 2010, like men in skinny jeans, legging-clad blokes are a growing breed. And one might say, aim to show a man’s somewhat lack of masculinity…"

Even though i'm a biter...

So even though my nails are never long and luscious...I do still appreciate a good nail polish.

At the moment I am a huge fan of Napoleon Perdis Chandelier Shine in 'Rockstar Pink'.



Equally loving the matching gloss!

Tres Chic!

Trend spotting...

So the lovely lass on the right is Karley.

And upon her recent trip to Sydney, she found herself in awe of the Sydney-siders style.

Having immersed herself in the state for a weekend, I am pretty impressed with her latest look. She has my vote for Best Dressed AW 2010 so far.




Loving the leather look skirt, the white ruffle blouse and the ankle booties. Not to mention her relaxed tousseled hair which acts as the perfect accessory.

My tip: for colder months, team with patterned stockings and cropped jacket.

Oh...how I have changed!

So I have been scouring my photo albums for pictures for my 21st birthday.

Wow - have I found some shockers!

I sure am glad that I am collating my pictures - as I know mum would include some absolutley hideous ones...so you will only see some 'mildly' hideous ones.


So i was pretty much bald until I was two...love the little helicopter on my head. Thanks Mum!




Nawwww so stylish!



So I may have been known to chuck a tanty or five...




Looking a little bit sweeter on my first day of kindy!



Loved pink then...and still love it now!




In my party dress at my 4th birthday.

What's in my makeup bag...

Thanks to the lovely Di @ WTM, I am now a Napoleon Perdis convert!

And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!

But there are a few items which are not NP which I absolutley swear by!

Here is my makeup must haves:

1. The Foundation Brush

Easily my best buy. I use it every single day. It makes my product last longer and gives me a
flawless finish. Worth it's weight in gold.



NP - Artist Foundation Brush Sable 19b $68



2. The Blush Brush

Such an easy way to apply the perfect rosy cheek. Its meant for bronzer but I achieve a healthy glow with this little gem. (Plus its pink!)


NP - Bronzing brush $52




3. The Primer

The secret to making your makeup last longer. Applied after moisturiser and before foundation, this primer will have you looking fresh and primed...even after a 12 hour day.

NP - Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Primer $49.50




4. The Foundation

I have been using Revlon foundation for years - and am yet to have a bad word to say about it. It is the perfect consistency, and gives me a natural and fresh look. And the best thing is: it has an SPF 25 in it!



Revlon - Color Stay Active # Buff



5. The Powder

A silk finish powder foundation compact, 3-in-1 that conceals, covers and sets. Aka the best powder I have ever used.

NP - Camera Finish #Look 1 $59



6. The Blush

It's actually an eye shadow, but this shade compliments my skin tone perfectly!


NP - Colour Disc #66 Heather $25



6. The Eyeliner

Out of all my makeup - when it comes to eyeliner, I am probably the most fussiest. It has to be perfect. I always used to use pencil, but now I am a liquid convert. This one gives you a silky precision look...and lasts forever!

NP - Neo Noir Liquid Liner #Black $28




7. The Mascara

You can't go wrong with Maybelline! This mascara never clumps, never smudges, just stays on looking absolutley glam! Gives my lashes the oomfph that they so desire.



Maybelline - Lash Stiletto Mascara in Black $18.95



8. The Lipgloss

I must confess. I am an avid lipgloss swapper. I use anything and everything. Although my faves do include Maybelline, Rimmel, Lucas Paw Paw, Napoleon Perdis and most recently, WTM's Strawberry and Vanilla flavoured lipbalms! Which are a steal at only $3!!!



WTM - Strawberry and Vanilla Lipbalm $3 (08 9250 5366)


And my biggest secret:


COTTON BUDS - I COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT THEM!
They are actually the best things known to man. I could not do my makeup without them!

21st *Wish* List

Although it is only May, I am slightly freaking out about my approaching 21st in September...There is so much to organise:
  • The dress (the most important thing)
  • The shoes
  • The makeup
  • The hair
  • The venue
  • The decorations
  • The finger food
  • The drinks
  • The DJ and music
  • The guest list
  • Etc etc etc

But also...what do I want for this momentous occasion?

As my family and friends would tell you - I am quite hard to buy for...

So I have decided to compile a Wish List...

The thing I wish for the most:

1. Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Small Ring Agena * sigh
