Trending: Lets Go Native; Brazil & Arica

Im currently loving Native inspired clothing and the abstract designs of Brazil and Africa especially! I would love for this trend to be brought to life this Summer, and I wish I could find more items like this!

The colours, bold patterns and entrancing impact of how each piece seems unique to each outfit, fits my style brief. I love loud and unique, so wearing these patterns are so much fun.

The Exotic and daring embellishments and crazy structures of these patterned pieces take me to the Carnival of Rio De Janeiro or the Jungles of Africa. 

Here are a few of my favourite pieces I have found around 

ASOS - African Shirt Dress In Elephant Print $88.72

Sportsgirl - Rio Scuba Body Con $39.95 (currently on sale) 

Sportsgirl - Braziliana Ponte Crop $79.95  & Braziliana Ponte Tube $59.95 

MinkPink-  Road Trip shorts $66 & Road Trip Tee $29 

Sass Clothing - Go Native Shift Dress $79.95

Let me know of stores that sell pieces to this brief, I'm also interested to learn of other Native pattern inspired clothing that you love! 

Update: Beauty Bits New Skin Routine

Hi guys, 

So on my last blog on my skin routine i told you all that I had been using EmerginC and Dermalogica products, now in my quest to my best fit - I found the brand Kiehl's.

I had heard about this brand a while ago but was reluctant to switch from my comfort zone, but i took the plunge and went for it. It is probably Day 10 now since I used it and the results so far have been promising. 

My skin is reacting well to my cleanser and toner. The cleanser that I have is Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser (Blue tube) this is for normal-oily acne prone skin. It goes on so light weight and foams up so much which I love because you don't have to use more then a pea size to get full facial coverage!

Next I use my Toner, It is the Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner (Bottle with white lid). What I love about this product is it alcohol free and it is the only toner that doesn't sting my face! It's made from whole flowers and pure extract! (the flowers petals are actually inside the bottom!!) 

Probably one of my favourite new products is my Kiehl's Dermatologist Solutions: Blemish Control Daily Skin-Clearing Treatment,  This product is for the reduction of blemishes and helps the skin to repair and heal. Unlike other scar and acne clearing products it has not dried out my skin or caused irritation. It can be used all over your face which is great! 

Next, is my Moisturiser this one my sister brought home and Its great, its the Macro Skincare Essentials Natural Vitamin E Cream . Now it may not be ideal for everyone but I haven't had dry skin since i started this product and Its Vitamin E cream so it helps protect and repair the skin which is good for me  because I have acne scars. 

And finally, my eye cream although I don't encourage an eye cream so young this is more of a preventative measure, living in Australia and in such harsh climate's its important to protect your skin and help hydrate and repair what damage has already been done. My eye cream is the Kiehl's Abyssine Eye Cream with Survival Molecules and Corallina Extract. It is so smooth and creamy on application, in the morning my eyes are fresh and hydrated which is great! Makes waking up better! 

So, thats my new and improved skin care routine, I'll update my skins progress in the coming weeks 

I hope this helps, and If you have any other skin care treatments or routines share them with me!

Event: Creatives Uncovered

Sorry guys, I havent blogged for a very long time but I am now dedicating myself to blogging at least twice a week, Things have just been really busy, but Im back and full of ideas and inspiration, I hope you enjoy! 

I had the opportunity to attend a Creatives Uncovered Fashion Night recently. This event was also the launch of Ispire magazine. Creatives Uncovered has offered a platform of display and acknowledgment to the artists of tomorrow in fashion, music and art. 

This event was Africa all over, Creatives Uncovered brought Africa here, with the wild flavours and colours of vibrant Africa, designers from Australia and Africa came together in a night of high fashion and good vibes. I was lucky enough to witness such amazing designs that were showcased right before me, with the ability to buy straight of the catwalk. There was such uniqueness and attitude that these elegant yet street fashion lines had to offer. With the combination of colour clashing, structured patterns in the mix with elegant sheike i was in my element. Such fashion excites me, Its amazing to see where fashion is going and how far it has come. 

The coming together of culture and fashion is an amazing metaphor of community and equality, although such an unrelated concept to the night there was a sense of togetherness and belonging. 

Fashion is a passion that is shared with the world, a language that has so much to give and receive. The once materialistic ideas assumed of fashion has now changed and created a whole new meaning of ART!
