Chanel Beauty Boutique

A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Chanel Beauty Boutique at Chadstone Shopping Centre, Melbourne, for a makeover. I was after a foundation which would hydrate my skin, after the harsh Winter climatic conditions had left my skin parched. After having read about Chanel foundations in magazines, watching countless YouTube videos and hearing really great things about Chanel foundations, I decided to try them out for myself!

Where else other than the Chanel Beauty Boutique would one go to try Chanel products? The customer service is second to none and I was treated like a princess.


The foundation that the sales assistant recommended for dry skin types was the Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup in #20 Clair. This is a fantastic natural looking foundation, with an SPF15, that once applied, lasts all day long. The skin is able to breathe and never feels tight or looks cakey. Perfect! 

For a high-end cosmetics brand, Chanel is at a very reasonable price point. After pricing some other high-end brands, Chanel came out the cheaper option, as opposed to Bobbi Brown or even Nars!

During my makeover, the sales assistant used Chanel skincare underneath the foundation, which included the Hydra Beauty Serum, made from the flowers of jasmine. I have ran out of this product, but will eventually be replenishing this as it does the job it's set out to do. A lot of products claim to hydrate, but once you try them, they don't live up to their claims. This hydrating serum actually works! It's amazing!  

I also tried Chanel's Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base, Powder Blush in #65 Espiegle, Precision Lip Definer in #38 Peche, and the Rouge Allure lipstick in #32 La Ravissante, from their new collection. I couldn't resist and purchased everything that was used for the makeover. I was that impressed! 


Along with my new purchases, I received added bonus freebies, such as a gorgeous black Chanel calendar, travel size foundations of my shade, sample perfumes; for myself, Chanel No 19 Poudre, and for my husband, Homme Allure. In addition, I received some skincare samples as well. This was all neatly packaged into a stylish Chanel box, wrapped in their signature black and white ribbon, and  placed into a Chanel shopping bag.

So the next time you're after some new skincare or makeup, check out Chanel Beauty Boutique. Believe me, you're be sure to be treated like a princess!!

Yours in style,

gelati in the gardens

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!  For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette. Check out

Ballistic for Bally

I have always loved Bally , especially their shoes. They're made with the softest, luxurious leather I have ever worn. Bally were my first ever pair of high end designer shoes and they fit like a glove. So this post is going to be dedicated to one of the most prestigious design houses and their amazingly comfortable, chic shoes.  Here's some of my favourites from Bally's new S/S '12 collection: Which is your favourite? I love the classic black Otty-Crest pump and the teal and navy Palda wedge sandals. Have a great week! Mine will be an interesting one. I finish teaching for the term this coming Wednesday and go on a staff retreat to Creswick for the rest of the week. I'm looking forward to breathing in the crisp, clean country air!

My top ten must-haves!

Fashion fads come & go, but real style stands the test of time. As mentioned earlier, I'm one for classics versus trends. I love buying clothing that lasts and is therefore timeless.  I have put myself up for the challenge of finding classic pieces using Audrey Hepburn as an example. Here's my list of the top ten must-haves!! 1. Man's style classic buttoned down white shirt 2. LBD-Little Black Dress 3. A-Line dress/skirt 4. Trench Coat (Burberry is the original) 5. Black turtleneck sweater (Preferably cashmere) 6. Leopard print (one piece at a time/NEVER more than one!!) 7. Silk Scarf (Preferably Hermes) 8. Ballet Flats 9. Pearls (Earrings/necklace) 10. Investment handbag (look to Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Prada for classic styles)   What's your favourite out of my top ten must-haves?  Enjoy your weekend and, whatever you do, make sure you do it in st
