Wintery Summer

I know it's Summer and I'd be crazy to wear this outfit if the weather was warm but honestly its freezing and every second day it rains, hence why an all faux leather outfit can work! (I wish it couldn't work though because that would mean that there is sun around!) 

Anyway I'm loving the clean lines and simplicity of this outfit. The necklace really brings it all together and makes it exciting. I kept the shoes minimal to avoid distraction from the top half. 

Now to buy the whole outfit in white... right!? 

Luckily I'm escaping the barely there Summer for some sun in Asia. Keep up with my travels on Instagram @so92.

Quick outfit post... I know its Summer now but honestly it still gets cold therefore I feel like I can still wear ankle boots haha! Pairing them with a cute, floral dress like this one brings out a much more summery vibe, especially when a sunhat is added. 

I recently wore this outfit to a daily lunch at a rooftop bar. Very casual and laid back, perfect for afternoon drinks. 

Sorry for the lack of posts, I'm currently working on more! In the meantime keep up with my daily moves on Instagram. (so92)

November Bellabox Review

I honestly couldn't decide whether or not to put a review up on the November Bellabox since I haven't exactly made it a month to month thing but looking at my past reviews, they seem to be quite popular, so here it is...

Heading into Summer here in Australia it made sense for Bellabox to provide us with items that would be of use in the coming up months, hence the theme 'Refreshing Beauty'. I was actually quite excited to open up the box this month as they have re-branded and changed the appearance quite significantly. Gone are the old, chunky cardboard boxes and in are new, sleek, bright cases. I honestly prefer them because I was starting to accumulate quite a large collection of boxes that I couldn't find uses for!

The first item I saw was the new Bellabox Pout Pencils. These are designed and made by Bellabox and honestly I'm in loveeee! They are so creamy and pigmented they just glide onto the lips, so effortless! I got the colour Ruby Tuesday (Red) and its a stunning, true red that every girl needs. Im definitely going to purchase the other colours. 

This was a full sized product for $14.99. 

The next item was quite different. Its a pen like product with a felt tip that claims to correct makeup mistakes. I used it to correct my liquid eyeliner and it actually works. You have to draw over the area a few times to get the desired effect but it does its job nicely and makes cleaning up mascara dots on the eyelids soooo much easier!! 

This was a full sized product for $11.99. 

Following that I got a ASAP product. These seem to be quite frequent in my monthly boxes but I'm not complaining! I actually find that they are fantastic quality and do what they claim. This product was a tinted moisturiser, which to be honest I will probably never use. Not because its bad (its not bad at all!) but just because I generally use a heavier coverage foundation rather than a light tinted BB cream or moisturiser. 

I got 5ml and a full size is 75ml for $45.

Next in the box was a SOS gel. Im not entirely sure what to use this on to be honest!! Perhaps redness on the face!? But it says to use when sensitive skin raises its emergency alarm and it provides a cool and soothing effect. I might try it on sunburn haha who knows! 

I got 10ml and a full size is 50ml for $72. 

Last but not least, this bad boy! I actually love this product!! It smells delicious and reminds me of summer so much! Its simply a moisturiser that can extend the life of your tan and keep your skin feeling lush and smooth. This brand seems to be making a bit of an impact because I've seen it around a lot. I may have to try out their fake tanners or something! 

I got 30ml and a full size is 150ml for $27.50.   

Bonus product!!!! Bump Eraser! This is a miracle! I had actually tried this prior to receiving it in my Bellabox and I believe it works. It prevents ingrown hairs from developing and if one is developing you place a tiny amount of this on and it'll be gone the next day! Win I say.. especially with summer around the corner! 

Hope you enjoyed this review. For those of you interested in trying Bellabox for yourself (I highly recommend and love receiving a package every month full of goodies!) then click the link here.

Spring Racing Carnival

Ladies ladies ladies, its that amazing time of the year, SPRING CARNIVAL! 

This time I chose to attend the Emirates Melbourne Cup. With University classes still going for me it was extremely difficult to fit in time to go too any of the races but thankfully I was free for the main event and I'm so happy I went. It turned out to be lovely weather and I had an amazing time with my girls. For anyone that has been to the races before, you would be well aware that there are traditions to adhere to. Some of these would be Derby Day is black and white, Oaks Day is Ladies Day and the main rule, no felt in Spring and no straw in Winter. Since it is Spring, a straw hat was a must. The wide brimmed, extremely floppy white hat I chose to wear was a bargain from Ally in which I added my own flower design to the side to match my dress. I paired these gorgeous white heals from Wittner to keep everything fresh, with this amazing Mossman dress the centre of attention. For all of you who were lucky enough to attend the races during this time, I'd love to check out your lovely outfits :)

CO.

Lets just take a moment to appreciate the lovely collection Cotton On has created!! Its called CO by Cotton On. Its not only right on point fashion wise, but the prices are incredible. It fetures a wide variety of textures with faux leather being a common sight. Different patterns form a common trend in a Monochromatic palette, and if you haven't checked it out yet then you must do now! I purchased this muscle tank a while back from the collection and I've been dying to wear it when the weather is warmer just so I can show off the amazing detailing with the zippers and the contrasted front and back. 

Check it out below and be sure to suss out the collection here!

A trip down memory lane! Some of you may remember having sandals like this when you were little, and yes they have made a comeback! They are so damn cute and you can pair they with literally any outfit. The only downside, and yes I'm going to say it... they are just as uncomfortable now as what they were when you were a kid! Expect blisters! I've found the solution though!! Rubi shoes sells these adorable shoes (thats where i got mine) and they are a softer plastic to other ones I own. They bend easier when worn and are much more comfortable. They can be purchased here! They sell a variety of colours and patterns for only $15!! Bargain!! 

Until next time lovelies, have a good day!

Benefit Advent Calendar

I recently bought this Benefit advent calendar and oh my gawwddd, its amazing!! 

I thought I'd share with you all the contents of the calendar so you can decide if you want it or not, but I can pretty much assure you that you'll be in love and heading out tomorrow to purchase!! 

The idea is to buy it and then open each window on the countdown to Christmas but as if I could wait that long!! So you end up with 24 mini size items all from Benefit, which is amazing if you want to try them out before you purchase the full size. 

This would be an amazing gift for someone for Christmas if they are into beauty products because you get an array of different things to try and who doesn't love anything in mini size, so CUTE!! 

It retails for $100 and can be bought at all Benefit cosmetics counters (Myer, David Jones). 

So if you're planning on buying this yourself and you want it to be a surprise, then stop reading now!
