april beauty favourites


Grown Alchemist Gentle Gel Cleanser, Grown Alchemist Intensive Hand Cream, Essence Quattro Neutral palette, & LUSH Dream Cream Body Lotion.

April is coming to a close and these are my favourites for the month.

I have been loving Grown Alchemist, and these two products- Gentle Cream Cleanser and Hand Cream- will become very handy when it begins to cool down. I find my skin gets very flaky and dry, so having moisture rich creams will help with the impending dryness. 

I purchased this Essence Quattro palette about a year ago, and I've come back to using it again for when I've been out and about this month. The colours are quite pigmented, and can bring a little bit more depth to a natural eye look. 

My bestie Clarissa L O V E S Lush, and this Dream Cream was picked up a couple of months ago on one of our shopping trips. Clarissa has literally every single solid perfume from Lush and she always smells amazing. I love this body lotion because it's super moisturising without being greasy, and doesn't leave residue on my hands or fingers.

| The week that was | 25.08.2013

So sorry that this post has come a day or so late- my internet decided it didn't want to work last night, & after many attempts to bring it back to life, I conceded defeat & went to bed early.

It's been just over a month and a bit since university life resumed, & needless to say that time must be doing that thing again- you know the one where you blink & it's nearly freaking September! How did this happen?!

Anyway, the week that was, was in fact a very busy one. I was very lucky to be an assistant to darling Emily-May's photoshoot for her major project, & met her cat child Calcifer at the same time. This cat is so darling, & was a very clear distraction for me during the day. In addition to this, I'll be posting a stationary, outfit & shoe haul in the coming days of this week. 

Here's the week that was:



The photographer extraordinaire herself Emily-May at last week's meeting taking happy snaps.


Supplies for Wednesday's photo shoot: comfy shoes & beautiful stationary.


The Regent Cinema in Richmond. Emily-May has this amazing knack for knowing what I like & would find interesting, & the local cinema in Richmond is this beautiful art deco style building, & upstairs is a room with mirrored tile pillars, vintage lights & beautiful furniture. The cinema was lucky enough to have her do a premiere shoot of "The Great Gatsby" & this place is so perfect for it.


Words cannot explain how beautiful this cat is, & how jealous I am that this cat is prettier than me. This is Em's cat Calcifer, & if you ever have the pleasure of meeting him, prepare to fall in love.


Leftovers from Wednesday's shoot- it was such an awesome day.


Getting lush & fancy at a birthday lunch.


The joys of a warped sleeping pattern on a weekend.


Once again I'm super sorry this is late, & I'll be posting my hauls very soon!

Stay tuned x

| 24.07.2013 | Jewellery, bag & succulents.

Here I am, at my final week of a two month university holiday- it's actually gone by so quickly, and spending the majority of my week in Manly with Mark has been a big learning experience; living with someone else is a mixed bag, but it's brought us closer as best friends and as a couple. We have already started looking at properties in the area, and are planning for the next few months ahead.

Below is a snapshot of my jewellery purchases over the last few weeks. I liked how all these pieces fit together in their styles- it might just be because Spring is on it's way, but the pretty colours & delicate chains are my favourite for the coming season.


Cobalt Semi Precious Lapis Gold Necklace- Lovisa

The photo really doesn't do the Lapis patter justice at all! I've always liked the semi precious stone look- amethyst, rose quartz, opal- all favourites of mine. This pendant is loose inside the U-bend frame and hanging off a medium length chain. I would style this gorgeous colour with a white blouse and leather pants with gold accessories.

Cobalt Semi Precious Lapis Gold Faceted Pendant- Lovisa

This photo was taken quite close up, so it does look large but in reality it's about the size of a five cent piece. It's on a long fine gold chain and is a cute necklace to match with the above pendant.

Cobalt Semi Precious Lapis Gold Ring- Lovisa

This is more of a statement ring, it is quite large but again with the colour- this one has gold marble through it and blue and gold in my opinion are a winning combination. I really like the oblong shape of it too, very different.


Turquoise Double Arrow Pendant- Lovisa

I totally blame the Catching Fire trailer for these arrow related purchases! The mint colour is a favourite of mine, and reminds me of something you'd wear with a paisley print. 


Turquoise Aztec Arrow Gold Pendant- Lovisa

This reminded me of something you'd find on a totem pole & something military related- all of which makes me happy.


Gold Linked Knot Pendant- Lovisa

I love this because it made me think of something my grandmother would wear- it's elegant and on a very long chain and looks great with a simple outfit. Black, white and gold are always a winning combination.


Luxe Links Pink Rosette Chain Bracelet

I've had my eye on this for a while & finally caved- I love the layered up look with a statement watch, and this bracelet is just enough to style it. And the little roses are cute and ready made for Spring.



Indie Tote in Black- Sportsgirl

I met up with a friend of mine a few weeks ago and she had this bag with her & it's such a good sized staple piece. It's beyond spacious and fits everything I would need every day. 



And lastly, I saw this very pretty sight when I was walking to work. This is half the reason I love being in Manly- the locals love their succulents!






Long post today, hope you're having an awesome day, and don't forget to appreciate the beautiful things around you. Take heaps of pretty pictures & keep them forever.

Stay tuned. x

Shopping day with Clarissa & mini skin care & Typo haul!

On Friday, I spent the day with my best girlfriend Clarissa at our local Westfields & it was the best thing to do after a long week.

We always do well when we go shopping together- she's one of the few people I genuinely love going shopping with- we like going to similar shops even though our styles are quite different. Here's a few snippets from the day's adventures:



The displays at Lush are so amazing. These are the soaps near the front of the shop, & it smells so good you want to eat it.


Purchases from Lush & the Clinique counter at Myer. Itching to test out the sea salt spray & rose water!


I got this 'Fly Fly Away' Travel Journal from Typo- I've been eyeing this off online for a while & I am a sucker for anything pretty that's been printed- magazines, books, cards, stationary, you name it. This was $25 from Typo & it can be found here!


Me & Clarissa- she's super pretteh.

Stay tuned!
