black + gold

Black is my favourite colour, without question. Adding in some gold accents makes me feel very luxurious and a little bit glam.

Welp, needless to say January has been an exciting/splurge month.

I finally picked up the Bailes candle by Diptyque, and the NARS Pressed Powder in 'Desert' from Mecca Maxima (also how exciting is it that Urban Decay is going to be in Mecca stores in late March I am SO EXCITE).

I have seen every trendy person and their mother with a Diptyque candle and I love the scent of the Bailes candle, so I went and picked up one for myself online from Mecca; I procured my NARS Pressed Powder on my recent trip to Mecca a few weeks ago and I'm really excited to road test it.

I also upgraded my phone to a 6 Plus, and it is glorious in all his bigness.

Lastly, I can across a beautiful boutique called Jolie & Deen. I've seen a handful of bloggers with some of their pieces and after sussing out the store (and spending far too much time being slack jawed at their jewellery collection) I picked myself the Bow Cuff and was so tickled to receive it in the mail. The shipping was super quick and it came packaged in a beautiful box and satin pouch to protect the bangle.

I love the simplicity of the lines and how wearable it is. I love matching it with a clean crisp button shirt, black jeans & flats - very easy to wear. I was happy with the price of the bangle and its postage was very reasonable for the quality of the piece.

Be sure to check them out.

☁ || current favourites || September/October 2013 || ☁

Here's my try at something happening on a monthly basis! And since it's already on the tail end of October, I figured to do my favourites for both September and October now before it's too late.

Here's my September/October favourites!

1. Black Chain Drape Rope Necklace, Lovisa, $12.99 

2. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Penguin books

3. Story Book Notes, Typo, $16.95

4. Burger iPhone 5 cover, Typo, $9.95

1. Black Chain Drape Rope Necklace, Lovisa, $12.99 

Truth be told I have been eying off this necklace for a while- I'm a former Lovisa worker, I can't help myself. I like the idea of black and gold tones to dress a plain shirt up- whether it's a collared blouse or loose neck top. The chains are super fun to play with and it makes any plain outfit look a bit more formal and dressed up. You can find it here online.

2. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Penguin books

As I've previously stated in my weekly wrap up post, I'm really loving the Sherlock Holmes stories. I'm a huge fan of the BBC Sherlock series, and have decided to actually read the literature. I'm a sucker for a minimalist book design, and anything printed makes my heart flutter. You can find Penguin books in any local book store, or find them online here.

3. Story Book Notes, Typo, $16.95

This was honestly done by my inner cat lady, and my darlings lucycharlotte and Emily-May will certainly appreciate such a purrchase. (I'm so punny.) You can find it here online or in your local Typo store.

4. Burger iPhone 5 cover, Typo, $9.95

I'll be honest- I don't actually ever leave Typo. I live there and use their bags and books as a bed and wrapping paper as a blanket. Seeing this just made me hungry, and seeing people double take at this phone cover is entertaining enough within itself. It's just for iPhone 5, so sorry to those who have a 4, but Typo have an awesome rang of covers which aren't expensive at all. You can find this case and others here online or in your local Typo store.

That's it for this month/last month's favourites! 

Stay fab~
