My hair makeover

So today I spent several hours at my new hairdressers, Lady Marmalade in Beaumaris. Mally did such an amazing job and I am so happy with the result. 

I asked for a fuller fringe since for quite some time, it hasn't been sitting right. Now it's thicker and choppier and I can style it in different ways. Oh and I changed the colour back to dark. I feel more like myself now!!

If you're needing a style makeover, consider a visit to your hairdresser. The hair is the first step to making you feel and look great! 

This weekend has been fairly quiet so far. I've enjoyed being pampered at the hairdressers and I almost fell asleep in their reclining lounge at the basin! So relaxing! Well, one more sleep and our mums are back from China. I can't wait!

Have a great rest of the weekend.

Hair style inspiration

I was flicking through the pages of Google images and came across some inspirational hairstyle pics of Jessica Biel. She is just stunning! I love her thick fringe and long tresses.

I'm getting my hair done on Saturday and cannot wait! I am in need of a change of colour. I will post pics for you guys as soon as I can, to show you what I decide. I really miss my long hair so I am desperately trying to grow it again. It seems to be taking forever!

This time of the year is always crazy for me with working full time and having to come home to type student reports. So it's not surprising that I am very much looking forward to some pampering on the weekend. I am also excited to welcome our mums back from their trip to China on Sunday. Roll on weekend...please!!!

Have a great rest of the week!

You're the centre of my universe

You're the centre of my universe, for without you, I would not be here, experiencing this wonderful life. You're my mother, my confidente, my best friend.

My mother, for the first time in my lifetime, will be celebrating Mother's Day in China. I'm sure she's having the best time ever! Words cannot express the gratitude and love I feel towards my mum. She truly is the centre of my universe.

Talking about the universe, I recently received this silk printed dress, which was a birthday gift. It is from Karen Walker's AW '13 Fantastique Magnifique collection.
I just love the print! It's my first dress in this cut and I'm sure it won't be my last. I love the fluidity of this style, which makes this look very feminine and pretty. The tie belt is ideal for cinching in my waist. I also really like the keyhole back, revealing a hint of skin. Karen Walker is so amazing!

What are you up to this weekend? We're going out tonight with friends to celebrate my birthday, which was last week. Tomorrow we'll be doing a bit of shopping. Of course, I'm looking forward to that! 

A very Happy Mother's Day for Sunday, to all the mums out there. Hope you get super spoiled!

A HUGE Happy Mother's Day to my mum. This post has been dedicated to you!

Black & Navy

Who says you can't wear black with navy? Black & navy are two of my favourite colour combinations. They are perfect together in every way. I want to wear them more.

What are your thoughts? Would you wear black & navy together?

Today was a very relaxing day. After picking up dry cleaning and my birthday present, of which I cannot wait to show you, I spent the afternoon at Laurent Boulangerie-Patisserie, Albert Park. I treated myself to a gluten free cake (everything in moderation), which was the perfect choice to enjoy with a lovely pot of peppermint tea. The company was pretty awesome too. Mum and hubby joined me in this afternoon delight.

Enjoy the weekend. What have you got in store? Well, whatever you do, stay stylish!

beautiful botanics

One thing you may not know about me is that I enjoy pottering around in our cottage garden, located in the front of our property, in my spare time. I always feel wonderful when I connect with nature in this way.  

I also really enjoy spending time walking around beautiful gardens, be it the Melbourne Botanical gardens, Olinda's Rhododendron Gardens or the Ballarat Botanical Gardens, which happens to be one of my personal favourites. 

Whenever my husband and I travel to Ballarat to visit family, we always make a special trip there. It's just gorgeous! You've got to go if you haven't done so already. The only downside is that Ballarat can get very cold at this time of the year, so you need to make sure you rug up! 

These pictures were taken on our recent trip to Ballarat, which was on Easter Monday. Hope you enjoy them!

Have a lovely Sunday! I'm looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow and catching up with my mum for afternoon tea.

Ahoy sailor!

Every time I have to go out somewhere on the weekend I think of all of the possible outfit options that would best suit the place I'm going and what I'll be doing while I'm there. I'm my own personal stylist!

The particular place I was going to this morning was a shopping complex to pick up some new woollen throws for our leather couches. My outfit of choice comprised of my favourite striped breton top and my high-waisted jeans. It's a casual look that's very French chic. I love the nautical inspired belt, with its stripes and brass buckle. I wore my new black patent pumps for the first time too. I just adore them!

Last night, my husband and I had a wonderful evening catching up with some dear friends. We enjoyed talking for hours and eating scrumptious Italian culinary delights at Ricardo's Trattoria. I even had the most gorgeous gluten free sticky date pudding imaginable. If you haven't yet been there, you're missing out on something very special. Ricardo's comes highly recommended and is located at 99 Dundas Place, Albert Park, Melbourne. 

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. What did you get up to?

Getting Waisted

Picture this: a chic cable knit sweater, skinny jeans and ballet flats. It's a good look good, right? To turn it up a notch, simply add a belt at the waist. I call this look "getting waisted". Here I've chosen a black sequined belt, which actually belongs to a Max & Co skirt I purchased a couple of seasons ago. 

Do you like "getting waisted" too? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment below, so we can keep in touch! 

Well it's hard to believe that the holidays have come and gone. Work for me tomorrow, which admittedly I'm not really looking forward to after two weeks of sleep-ins and relaxation. It's been divine, but I knew this day had to come eventually. 

Wishing you all a week filled with fun and all things fashion.
