Staple Wardrobe Must have's




For me, I try and change up my wardrobe whenever I can.. Whether it's trying out a completely new style or a risky trend, It's always fun mixing it up.  
With that being said however, It is a must to have reliable pieces to turn to when nothing seems to work, My very own holy grail. 

Now this may alter depending on who you ask but I believe you can never go wrong with plain white tee and some trusty denim jeans! These are my go to! Paired with a bright lip and some rose gold accessories and your favourite pair of boots or flats! And Abracadabra! Your street ready with the least effort! This is my go to outfit, whenever I'm in doubt! 

I have sourced many wardrobes and fashion advice and picked to 4 most basic and circulated wardrobe regulars that all us women need!

Trusty Jeans
Whether you have a big booty or no booty the right jeans will shape you right and flatter your figure! The key here is to select your jeans according to your figure. For me I love high waisted skinny jeans, they suit my figure correctly, flaunts my best assets correctly. Currently I have been rocking the boyfriend jean look. Love it!
 Everyone has their own look and comfortability measure, your perfect jeans are out there if you haven't already found it! Inspiration is great, but we are all on our own jean finding journey, seriously! haha! 
Needless to say, Jeans are common across all fashion fortes and are an essential if anything! 

Here are my favourite pair at the moment. 


Sports girl Denim 
My current obsession. My boyfriend Jeans. I love the cut and they are so comfy and haven't lost form since I bought them a month ago. Thumbs up from me!

And here are a variety of jean styles and the figures that I believe are best suited to them, my opinion purely, so disagree if you may. 



Sports: The A cuff jeans ($89.95) & G-star Raw ARC 3d Tapered ($200.00)

The classic baggy boyfriend jeans looks good on almost anyone when paired with the right top. However, if you want trying to accentuate your butt these aren't for you, because if you don't  got it this won't fit like a glove, rather  create the illusion that you have an either flatter butt then you do. 
Best fit for curvier chikkas. 


ASOS Ridley high Waisted ($62.23) 
These babies are the typical high waisted dark denim skinny's. Ideal for all figures, obviously depending on your overall confidence in tight fitting denim. I love the carved off detailing at the hem! 
Because of its high waist it has the ability to exaggerate a tinier waist while focusing on your hips and legs. HOT! All time favourite.  




High Licks in B-side Blue ($159.95) 
These are so cute! And are best suited to petite women. It's almost but not really 3 quarter length in perfect for a feminine look. LOVE!

White Tee
Comfortable. Easy. Hot. Stick me on a deserted island but give me an endless supply of white tees and I'm set. 
The key tip here however is to find the right material. This does make a difference in the way it sculpts your body. Paying a little extra for the right style and material used will change the entire appearance of your figure, something that sticks to you in the wrong places will give the illusion that your all rolls and no tone. 


Denim Jacket
I have not styled an outfit that doesn't look good with a denim jacket. It's like the salt to every outfit, you most probably need it to make your outfit complete. Key tip here is to find a denim thats a medium tone, of your looking for a staple piece. If your not then don't worry. But if you find a colour that is neutral it will effortlessly look great with everything; too light it might wash your outfit out and too dark it may over power your look. 

My New Ziggy Denim Jacket, Perfect Colour and style! ($90.00)  





Classic Go-to Heel
Whether its Black or Green, we all have those heels that look great and feel great, not leaving you crippled for days. I'm currently loving the one strap that wraps around the ankle, with a not so tall heel. Love it! so classy and easily styled with any outfit, Perfect for turning a day look into an evening look. 
Depending on your unique style finding the right heel that goes with everything depends on that, so take note of that when looking for that perfect pair. 






Bardot: Patent Fever Heel ($69.95)


What are you Staple piece recommendations? I'd love to know

My Autumn Wardrobe



The trends for Autumn 2014 are right up my alley, I'm so in love with the styles and colours of the fashion  showcased this Autumn... And I have styled a few of my own pieces for Autumn 2014, from riskay trends, styles that are simple with a twist, pieces that are often hard to style and outfits to show case your favourite assets...

1. The Basic white tee with Denim, timeless and always perfect at any time, probably my most worn outfit, because of its comfortability! I love ripped denim at the moment always a wardrobe winner for me! This outfit can be dressed up or down when paired with the right accessory! I have matched a cropped tee with my high-waisted ripped jeans for a retro-ish look, styling with my large brim hippie floppy hat giving it a bohemian feel and of course my leather ankle boots!

2. Leather & Faux Fur, I'm very pleased to say that I have found the perfect leather skirt! Now Autumn is leather lovin'! From recent run way trends I have found the combination of fur and leather and I absolutely love it! And I have managed to achieve an almost identical look to Tom Fords College Fall Runway 2014! I'm a sucker for texture mixing, these two clash so well! Such a successful outfit.

4. Monochrome, Black & White; enough said! Black and white features a lot in my style files I find that it has the ability to flatter your most profound features by finding your ideal cut, achieves a simple yet classy look. Perfect for lunch, and is a versatile outfit because of how easy it is to alter it into a night ware.

Warehouse Clothing: Styling





I have selected a few items from the British brand Warehouse, their ranges caters to the modern chick with a desire for high fashion at a modest price. I'd describe their pieces as versatile; versatile because it caters to all types of women, figures and style. 
Being Autumn here in Australia, the transition of weather is unconvincing so I have styled these outfits to deal with the unpredictability of Australian weather. I made sure to add a lot of white, because I'm currently obsessed with white and i believe its trending with many others. 


My First creation is all texture, I love mixing different textures in an outfit it adds definition and spunk! The gentle look of the knitted high neck sweater styled with the wet look leather skirt keeps things cute yet daring. And a denim jacket to throw over for the unsuspected rain that will assuringly come, ties the outfit to a complete. I just love white, risky but so lovely on anyone!  



My second styled outfit, is floral. Floral is undisputedly undateable. Floral returns as a trend each year without fail. This specific floral print is quiet Autumn inspired, the flowers look to be almost withering, I love it! Paired with a fluffy knit, which are all the rage at the moment brings a warth to the outfit. 
I'm all for showing off your assets, so the tight pencil skirt and a crop top to match brings sexy to this sweet outfit, and shows off that booty! ;)




Thirdly, I have paired Warehouse's white trousers with a few options. Each bring a different meaning to your outfit and what your trying to achieve, all very feminine which is nice, however not so girly, I love each of these tops! And featured again this denim jacket, bringing a slight edge to the outfit! Match your option with ankle leather boots either black or tan will too add to the edgey effect!


And Finally!  Monochrome! Oh my favourite trend of all time! the timeless black and white! I'm so eager to find a faux leather skirt like this and paired with a striped crop or full length top is perfect! So edgey! The monochrome blazer lifts this outfit, dressing the piece up. And for a statement piece a nice burgandy tote to complete this outfit!



I hope these outfits are to some assistance this Autumn, I can't wait to style my own pieces!

Check their site out, they have great pieces and at a reasonable price what is more to ask for!

March Madness: Fav's this year...




It is mid March now and I thought I would share the products that I love so far this year, I'm always looking for the most affordable products, because I believe you don't have to spend a fortune on products to receive good quality. At least in my experience I have found some great, new products at savvy prices. 




1.    I absolutely love hair care at the moment, having dyed my hair lighter, it's always hard to keep your hair looking healthy and shiny once bleaching and colouring, brass has been a thing of the past.   

My current obsession is the Miracle Hair Treatment of ELEVEN Australia. This hair treatment is applied to damp hair, It smells absolutely fantastic and has worked, leaving my hair so smooth. Its a grade higher then drug store standard minus the price, at only $24.95 this treatment is worth every application! LOVE LOVE LOVE...




2.    The second on my list are a few products from the Sukin line.  I love Sukin's Natural Deodorant, Its a mist rather then a roll on, so much more hygienic and fresh. All products of Sukin have the same sort of smell, which I love. The best thing about Sukin is its affordability and the earth-freindly qualities they propose. And has there slogan says " Skincare that doesn't cost the earth" which is true, beauty doesn't need to compensate the environment!
And Sukin's Nourishing Hair Conditioner! leave's my hair clean, fresh and oil free! I'm not sure what it is about this conditioner but it has really served my hair justice, helping with frizz and oil. Smells absolutely fantastical!
 The Sukin line can be found at most chemists, both at such affordable prices, the Deodorant at $4.95 & the Conditioner at $19.95!



3.    And the award for best perfume goes to Salvatore Ferragamo's Signorina. Such an all year round scent! It's so feminine and sexy, but not strong and sickly which I love. Like all perfumes, for quality you have to spend a little bit more, I believe it was about $80.00 however I received it as a gift, so I'm unsure of what they paid for it. But its a great scent! 





4.    My Lipstick loves! This year I have been more daring with the colours I have chosen! And I'm so in love with the more darker colours which is perfect because Autumn is here, I have 3 that I have recently bought and I'm obsessed! 
Miss Shop: A Little Lippy Colour in Roaring Red, to my surprise this lipstick stays on through a day full on adventures and being not a very reputable brand of lipstick I wouldn't have picked that. 
Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Line,  Colour 106 which is a dark pink and 
Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Line, Colour 29 which is a plummy purple. Both have a great smell, smooth application and lastly finish as they claim. All were under $10.00 I love Rimmel, such a great brand!  




5.    And Lastly, HAHA! Hollister California's Body Mist: Tippers Beach. My sister introduced this to me and for a body mist it has such lasting properties and is really strong like a perfume. It is great when you need to freshen up during the day, taking you to the beach or somewhere you'd rather be! Love it! I bought it on sale, at about $8.00, normally sold at maybe $15.00-$20.00. 





I hope this gives you some idea's of what to try this year! Let me know what you love this yea so far! I'd love to know :)
