Okay - it's a pretty undisputed fact that many of the "well-known bloggers" are absolutely gorgeous and model-like in their stature, their wardrobes and their make-up. I for one am neither the typical representation of pretty, nor am I photogenic. I thought I'd just show you guys my typical make-up routine for going out. WARNING: there will be a non-edited photo of my just-woken-up face below...try not to run away :P Yep, that's me. No edits, no nothing. Just woke up, half asleep, messy hair. As you can see my skin is pretty blemished. I have pimples, red patches, dry lips, and my eyebrows look kinda crazy. So obviously I need to take a few steps to ensure that I don't scare people away with my face. Just kidding! (Sort of...) First step: Wash my face with a cloth and then QV cream as a moisturiser, I use it on my lips too instead of lip balm. Second step: Use my fingers to dab The Body Shop foundation on my blemishes & Maybelline finishing p...

Easy Breezy by stacylong featuring yves saint-laurent ring Lanvin $970 - montaignemarket.com Zara flat sandals zara.com Yves Saint Laurent yves saint laurent ring saksfifthavenue.com Illesteva logo sunglasses $285 - avenue32.com So lately I've been a little bit "cbf" with clothes, shopping, outfits, my looks etc. I thought I'd just put together an easy breezy little outfit featuring just a plain old t-shirt. It's not always about going OTT with the bling or wearing designer dresses all the time - this look is simplicity at its best. This grey tee is from Pop Basic 's newest micro-collection titled "Sherwood". This "Grey Marl Tee" is the ultimate wardrobe staple. It has a v-neck and is perfect for tucking into high-waisted jeans. It is meant to be matched with a green pleated maxi and a pretty necklace. Check out Sherwood by Pop Basic here!! The ring & sunnies add enough pizazz to the outfit without grabbing attention fro...

These are a few of my favourite things...leather shorts (hell leather anything), classy yet glam outfits to go with equally classy it girls, sultry stares, confidence and wise yet simple words of advice.

So who's seen the recent Kmart ads on TV? I did and I have to admit I was surprised. In a pleasant way. Aside from the annoyingly boppy dance track used in the ad, it's a big step up from the previous not-fit-for-wearing-out reputation that Kmart's clothing once had (well in my opinion anyway). Perhaps I'm a little biased because I work there and I know what type of people shop there. ANYWAY. Check it out. What did you think? Not bad huh. Not to mention that Kmart does have astoundingly low prices. This is likely due to the fact that they exploit cheap labour in economically less developed countries...but I digress. Enjoy my uni outfit, & my crazy hyperactive jumping around, these clothes were appropriately bought from Kmart with my employee discount (if that doesn't tell you how much of a poor uni student I am I don't know what will!). Kmart knit, pants & boots. Sportsgirl sunglasses. Yves Saint Laurent ring. Seven Autumn Leaves handm...

It's positively freezing today - once again the bipolar weather is showing its true colours; it can never make up its mind whether to be warm to us or cold. This last week has been the latter. I wake up in the mornings dreading getting out of the covers because Winter is coming. Despite my fear for the biting cold that penetrates me, there are a few things that save me from it. The main one being my bed - a haven from the chill and a warm wonderful place where I spend most of my time - and books. At the moment I'm stuck into a D.H. Lawrence volume I got as a gift. Reading while snuggled up in bed is just something I tend to do a lot of...it's like hibernating but better :) Witchery knit, Kmart trackies. Today I stayed in bed for a long time; well past sunrise. My new Witchery knit, thanks to Justin' mum, has been a staple for the last couple of weeks. Kmart trackies are surprisingly comfy as well. I think they're selling for about $12 at the moment s...
