Mothers Day

Hey Everyone

Now, this post is exceptionally delayed as school and sport have been interfering with my general posting routine. A few weeks ago, I took my mum out for lunch to a lovely restaurant on Takapuna Beach, for mothers day. I am well aware that this post doesn't exactly fit into the category of my blog, but it was such a beautiful day and I couldn't not share these pictures with you all.

Enjoy

Talk to you soon

Miranda Kerr: Model Style Icon

Miranda Kerr began modelling at 14 after she won a competition in ‘Cleo”, an Australian Magazine. Now she is known globally for her work on the runway and with Victoria Secret. Off the runway the Australian born beauty always gets it right whether she’s gracefully leaving a photo-shoot, or running errands with her son, Flynn. Miranda keeps her outfits simple, and fresh by leaning towards clean-cut blazers and classic, nautical inspired striped shirts.
 
Throughout the week I will be posting more details on the pieces shown below.

Lover: The Fashion World Down Under

Lover is an Australian fashion label founded in 2001 by designers Susien Chong and Nic Briand. Originally the Label was a weekend stall and the Bondi Markets in Sydney with a small collection of random separates. Over the years Lover has risen to fame in Australia and has developed a strong following by celebrities, models and bloggers.

 

Designer, Nic Briand says that each collection has a ‘narrative and central character’. Briand’s influences tend to be ‘heavier’, whereas Chong’s are ‘softer’. Self-described as ‘same album, different songs’. They have mixed their individual tastes to create an influential, innovative label.

 

 

I only recently found out about this label and it was due to seeing amazing dresses of theirs in magazines and on social networking platforms, such as instagram, and thinking ‘I need that’. Lover has a classic feel by using colours such as blacks, reds and royal blues but add their own innovative new look by adding unique floral lace prints and subtle cut outs. They have a creative way of keeping it simple, yet very fresh.

 

Victoria’s Secret Angels Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel and Australia's very own, Miranda Kerr have both been spotted wearing pieces from Lovers Northern Hemisphere SS2012 collection and their Southern Hemisphere AW2013 collection. Australian Blogger, Jessica Stein (tuulavintage.com) is also often spotted wearing pieces from the label.

The Fashion World: Down Under

Recently I have noticed that blogger is mainly filled with British or American writers and most of the fashion is based around what is going on in the northern hemisphere. Living in the Southern Hemisphere, I notice that the weather is slowly evolving into winter and the Fashion World is lacking direction and interest, as our inspirations from the Northern Hemisphere’s pants are becoming shorts and t-shirts becoming tanks.
 

So starting May 1^st, I have decided to make this month all about The Fashion industry in Australia and New Zealand. From models to bloggers, trends to designers, high end to low end, beauty to fashion, I will posting about all things fashion in the area commonly referred to as ‘Down Under’.

 

 

Stay tuned as I will be posting twice a week

LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Well Hello There

As you can possibly tell by my lack of posts recently, I can be very easily distracted. I have been planning on writing a new blog post for quite a while. This has also been delayed as my camera has been playing up, hence the reason this isn’t my photograph.

Over Easter break my best friend and I decided to go shopping in the city. We were very controlled and hardly purchased anything… until we went in to lush. Now I’m not normally the type of person who actually buys stuff from shops like lush and the body shop. Tend to normally go in and Lush look around. This is mainly because when I buy a nice body scrub or bath bomb, I always feel it looks to nice or smells to nice to use and I end up never using them. Which is a complete waste, I know. But this time my best friend convinced me to try out this lip scrub.

 

‘Our fabulous lip scrubs are here to keep your kissers sweet. This one will make your lips smell like our best-selling Snow Fairy shower gel. Bubblegum is made with exfoliating castor sugar and our delicious vegan flavour to gently scrub away rough skin, keeping your lips smooth and kissably soft. Simply rub it over your lips when they feel the need for some sugar.’

At first I wasn’t very keen, as my lips are very sensitive and I can’t normally use scented products on them, but I think I got lured in by the amazing smell of it. It contains jojoba oil, which is great for your skin and is used also on damaged cuticles to repair them. The best part of it is when you are finished you lick it off, which at first seemed a bit strange when my friend told me but once I tasted it, it all made sense. I was so surprised at how well this lip scrub worked. It is just so amazing! It smells absolutely incredibly like a mixture of candy floss and bubble gum. If you were to imagine what ‘Pink’ would smell like, that would be the smell. After only one use my lips felt smooth and softer than they’ve ever been.

 

I definitely recommend this to anyone who has sensitive lips but is interested in owning a lip scrub.
