Thunderstruck

Wearing: Leotard: Asos, Skirt: Forever New, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell Coltrane, Bag: Steve Madden, Belt: Mossman, Necklace: Ebay, Bowler Hat: Sportsgirl, Neon yellow woven chain bracelet: Ebay

On one of those sticky humid days, nothing feels better than a flowy pleated skirt. Mixing neon accents with black gives me a unique look with a grungy feel. I accessorised this outfit playing with gold and neon without overdoing it. I love the look of this gold plated belt from Mossman however it's not the most practical belt in terms of holding my skirt up. I scored this gorgeous sheer pleated midi from forever new on sale for $20 however the catch was it's 2 sizes too big so i won't be pairing it with this belt again. I can't resist buying things on sale regardless of if it fits me or not, if it's small i'll tell myself this will motivate me to lose weight, if it's big i'll tell myself all it needs is a belt- does anyone else have this weakness or is it just me?

Who says you can't crank out a little faux fur in the middle of autumn? Sydney weather has been beautiful the past week so bringing out the faux fur coat now may be a little silly, but with this little statement piece, I can start on the winter trends early. I'm more ecstatic than usual that winter is around the corner, i'm excited to bring out my leather, faux fur, baroque, monochrome as well as my capes/coats which have been collecting dust in my wardrobe. Anyone else excited for winter as much as I am?

P.S I've put some clothes up for sale on my facebook page. Please check them out, I'm happy to do postage (flat rate $7 for 500g parcel). Message me if interested in anything, check it out HERE!

Shakuhachi

Dress: Shakuhachi, Blazer: Wish, Bag: Marcs, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell Coltrane, Socks: Rubi shoes, Arm candy: ebay and bondi markets

Shakuhachi went from a brand I was never able to pronounce to one of my all time favourite designers. I managed to score this dress for half the retail price at their sample sale and I couldn't be more pleased. The intricate mesh detailing on the chest as well as the flattering and comfortable fit definitely makes this dress a winner. Paired with my currently favourite bag and blazer, off to uni I go! Off course I didn't want to include my heinous laptop case in these photos, if anyone can recommend were I can get an affordable, cute, preferably a neutral colour (black would be ideal) laptop case for my macbook then please let me know, i'm officially on the hunt!

Sunday Blues

Wearing: Denim dress via glue, boater hat purchased from Connie, Lauren Conrad wedges via Kohls

It's official, winter is over and the blue skies and sunny days have not disappointed us sydneysiders. I've been putting away my coats and jumpers and bringing out my dresses, flowy skirts and hats to play. After three months of neglect, pushed to one side of the closet, nothing feels better than light weight materials, floral and pastel colour schemes paired with sandals and open toe heels and floppy hats to boater hats. Speaking of neglect, my poor blog! Something I need to be a lot more devoted towards. However in my absence I have been working non-stop, saving half my earnings and extending my wardrobe with the other half. I'm excited to work my new clothing items with the old and see what outfit combinations I can put together. I've also been keeping to my word, eating a lot more healthier and exercising which has resulted in a 4kg loss (woohoo!). Here is a quick outfit post, a sunday lunch with my family, enjoying the gorgeous view from my rooftop!

Just a quick outfit post before I headed out the door (a week ago) ahh i'm so lazy! I have so many posts to do but haven't gotten around to uploading photos yet. This lazyness ends today I guarantee it. Considering my guarantee's arn't, well always truthful i'm going to take an oath here on my blog so whoever reads this is my witness... I Azar, promise to stop being lazy and start to do all the things on my "to do list". Just to include the top of my list (maybe writing it will help me to do it?)
1. Get a job
2. Blog more
3. Exercise (lose weight)
4. Moisturise daily
5. Figure out a better organising system for my overflowing closet.
6. Figure out what uni degree I want to change too, look into journalism.

I could probably be here all day writing what I need to do but these were the first 6 that came to my head and I decided to stop at 6 not to bore you all. If anyone has any motivational/organisational skills, I'd love to hear them!

Napoleon Perdis- Sale and Review

A few weekends ago I went to the Napoleon Perdis Sale in Alexandria which was held in their huge make -up school. I wasn't it expecting it to be that great because Napoleon Perdis isn't the cheapest brand and I recently lost my job so I need to be very picky with the things I buy. To my surprise, I was really pleased, the prices were crazy cheap and unlike other big sales they had plenty of stock. Here is some photos of some of things I bought, I've used most of them already and am really happy with the turnout.

 The bag they gave me will definitely be re-used, it's my favourite bag I've received from a shop.
The little bottles are eye primer, I bought 3 of them for $1 each and then they ended up giving me a lot of free samples. I've got so many now I don't need to buy a larger bottle.

 I really needed some new primer, the one I was using wasn't very good and didn't seem to make my makeup last very long. This set came with two, a ordinary primer which is the white/cream colour as well as a bronzing primer. I've been using the white one and I really like it, it sets my foundation well and I've definitely noticed my make-up lasting for longer. Due to it being winter and my skin being white, I haven't used the other one yet but I really like the colour and will definitely be using it in the summer once I get a nice tan. This set cost a cheap $6, you can't ask for better then that!

 I picked up 4 eyeshadow's which were selling for $5 each. I didn't have any good read and yellow eye shadows so I picked those 2 colours up. The blue and the green are very much pastel colours so I wanted to buy those to fit with my new favourite pastel trend. They are very pigmented and are all really nice colours so these were great buys. con

This toner was only $5. I've been using it after cleansing and really like the fresh feel of it on my face. Its not heavy on my skin and doesn't have that strong chemical like scent which I have noticed that some toners have.

I also purchased the patrol palette for $8. Both the brushes were missing which is why I got free samples. I love how the bottom slips out, making it double decker palette so it takes up much less space. Having different lip colours, eye shadows and a blush and bronzer all in a small confined palette with a mirror couldn't be more handy for 8 bucks.

Purple and Gold

Just a quick outfit post as I was running out the door. I picked up this dress from General Pants for about $60 which I am madly in love with. The print is what attracted it to me in the first place as well as the gold and black with the purple infusion. It's super comfy and I love that it's long sleeved. I spent at least 10 minutes looking for a belt to wear it with to synch in the waist and my belts seemed to have disappeared. I never had very many, for some reason I never buy belts even though they can make an outfit complete. I found this very old one I purchased from Supre and decided it would do. I'm in definite need of purchased new belts, I've been eyeing the Moschino belt for a while but haven't gotten around to buying it yet. Hopefully I will soon.
