Celebrate Australia Day In Style || With Farfetch.com

Hey guys!

I'm back and I'm still alive!

The festive season left me with zero time for sitting on my behind and getting creative. The new year hasn't been much kinder to be honest. 

My job is literally eating up 95% of my day, leaving me with a few hours of a night to catch up on everything else that needs to get done.

Some serious organisation skills will need to be acquired to keep some sort of flow going. I will try my best!

Today is all about Australia Day. A day of celebration. Getting together with your mates, having a few cold bevvies and a BBQ and if you're anything like me, you will have Triple J blaring, counting down the Hottest 100 songs of 2015!

This year, because I've been away the last few days and having to work tomorrow, today has consisted of grocery shopping, house work and food prep. WOO! At least I've got the countdown to keep me pepped up!

Lets just pretend for a minute that I had some really fun party to go to today. I'm thinking in Melbourne, some hipster pub listening to the count down in the arvo then onto a club after sundown..

I've teamed up with farfetch.com to pick out my ultimate Australia Day outfit. 

Drumroll...

I am obsessed with this whole outfit!! Everything screams luxe but still casual enough for a backyard party or a night out in the city. The mesh skirt teamed with the casual T is definitely my style. the gold accessories and over the shoulder bag all top it off and make for a sweet combo. The sunnies need to be mine! I am crushing on these guys so bad!!

I had so much fun putting these pieces together.

Monday Lust List || Episode 2

It's back for another round. My Monday Lust List. 

So many more bits and pieces that I would love to have in my possession. Maybe one day...

First up is the GAWWJUS rose gold metal queen bed above... What can I say... I am in love with it! This particular one is from the website Cranmore Home and is a touch on the pricey side at $1049AUD (but totally worth it in my eyes) 

Next is the Benefit Cosmetics Candy Coated Countdown advent calendar. Instead of the "straight to the hips" chocolate version, this little number is full of Benefit's makeup goodies!! I missed out on grabbing one last year, so hopefully I will save up the cashola to nab one this year... (but knowing me, will also buy myself a chocolate Freddo calendar... YUM!) This one comes in at $149AUD and is available at your Benefit counters (Myer etc), but I'm not sure for how long!

Of course it wouldn't be one of my Monday Lust Lists without a candle! This is the limited edition Halloween Glasshouse Pumpkin Pie candle. With a glow in the dark box and a set of black stickers to make your own spooky Halloween scene on your jar, this is definitely one to add to my collection. Now these are selling out fast everywhere, although there is one store local to me that I can grab it. I have found one website that still has them in stock but if this candle is tickling your fancy you best run, not walk if you want this festive fun-ness in your home! $39.95AUD

Ohhhh, sunglasses... I am a ridiculous hoarder of sunnies, but normally I pay less than $10 a pair as I wear them to work, push them up onto my head (a big no, no to those sunglass connoisseur's) basically, I treat my sunglasses really badly and they always break. Except for my other pair of black semi cat eye shaped Ray-Bans. Those I have treated with the up most respect, so I think I can now trust myself with the tortoiseshell pair that I have wanted for a very long time! Currently on ASOS for $188.46AUD

Now, before when I said I am a crazy sunglasses hoarder...? I also really like a good watch... Having saved and purchased a gorgeous Michael Kors Stainless steel big, chunky mens style watch, then had to have same said watch in the rose gold version. Is it overkill to have a black watch as well?? I think not!! 

Here is the absolutely STUNNING Karl Largerfeld Black Analogue Watch. In black polished stainless steel, and gorgeous geometric shaping on the face, this watch is my idea of perfection and is the first black watch I have ever liked the sight of. Maybe if I'm super good, Santa will deliver me this one for Christmas... This beauty is from Myer and retails for $399AUD

While I was browsing the Myer website I had a look through the accessories and found this Miss Shop Felt Wool Floppy Hat. Although probably more of a cooler weather hat, I could get away with wearing this for around three quarters of the year in my home town in Victoria. $39.95AUD

Having said that, I also found a more summery version of above hat in the Miss Shop Aztec Paper Trilby. A great beach hat this would become and super handy to keep that hot Aussie sun from searing my pasty English heritage skin to a cinder... $29.95AUD

I also picked out this cool Miss Shop Skull Print Scarf. At $15.00AUD this would jazz up a boring outfit or like me would probably end up using this to put in my hair.

The last piece from Myer is something a little out there for me. I've always liked the look of these headchains but didn't think I would be able to pull it off. I think this one is simple enough for me to try out and for $15 it's no great loss if I don't like it... Miss Shop Headchain With Diamond Centre.

Moving onto the homewares section in Target, I found this really cool Lisa T Rock Couture Rose Gold Clock. As you can tell by the bed and in previous blog posts, I've taken quite a liking to anything rose gold. This clock is no exception. $35AUD

My last piece of rose gold I promise! This is the Lisa T Rock Couture Tealight Holder. For only $12AUD this would add a nice little pop of metallic to any room. Plus it's my two fave homewares in one. Rose gold AND candles! This also comes in a black and silver. #obsessed

Are we seeing the trend here peoples? Geometrics and metallics are my thing baby! This would be a sweet fruit bowl or maybe filled with something as a centrepiece on a dining table... The Lisa T Rock Couture Wire Basket. $20AUD

My last item is this Optical Canvas Print. I really like the look of the old skool optometrists signs and this one has a cool slogan in it. A steal for $20AUD.


Well, that is all for this episode of the Monday Lust List. Apologies in advance if I have swayed you to part with any hard earned cash and You're Welcome if I have found you a lovely gem for yourself or you were struggling to figure out a gift idea for somebody... I'd like to think I've helped you out in some way! :)

Let me know in the comments what you thought!

Addicted to ASOS!! My Wish List...

I've been scouring ASOS a lot lately since I downloaded their app for my iPhone. For some reason I find it a lot less daunting and easier to navigate than the website.

ASOS has such a diverse range of clothing, accessories, shoes, bags and also beauty products.

They also cater to everybody. The ASOS Curve range is for the "curvier" women with sizes ranging from 18 to 28. 

ASOS Petite is designed to fit women 5'3 and under. There is a maternity range and my personal favourite ASOS Tall! Designed for lofty women 5'9 and over. *cough, me*

Being a touch over 6 feet tall I find it so hard to find jeans that are long enough for me but also big enough. Dresses are also a bit of a struggle. Yes, some are meant to be short but they really should cover your whole bottom! HA! 

Jumper sleeves can also cause me some grief, stick my arms out straight ahead and my jumper turns into a 3/4 length top. As well as being for the tall ladies they also go up to a size 18 so ASOS really covers the lot! 

I had collected quite a number of things into my "saved items" bag, so I thought I would share them with you and maybe you'll find yourself something to pick up.
