Styling the Boyfriend Coat

Trending at the moment is the ever glamourous boyfriend coat, this trend is a simple and easy way to dress your outfit up. Who would have thought that keeping warm would be so accessorising. 

Above I have put together two variations of this trend.
#1 is paired with washed out boyfriend jeans by Lee jeans and a leather crop by Dion Lee. Although the jeans keep it casual the leather crop keeps it sexy. Black on black gives the outfit edge while the pale pink pumps by Giussppe Zanotti  and clutch lady-fy this attainable outfit. 
This is a must for the upcoming winter months. I love this black coat by Topshop, quiet affordable at under $100 AUD
I added a mild accessory that of a Marc Jacobs (Amy Dexter Glitz) with pastel coloured diamond detailing - definitely on my winter wish list. 

#2 is pair with a slim fit dress, this sexy navy number is a Zimmerman piece, which is paired with YSL ankle boots which dress this outfit up. I love this pale pink theme running through these two outfits, The pale pink is so lady like and gives the outfit a soft touch. And lastly, the Celine Phantom (OMG!) What outfit is not complete with this amazing creation. 


The above is my interpretation of how i would style my boyfriend coats this winter. The key here is to introduce the trend as a subtle feature of your outfit or have it be the statement piece bringing your outfit to life. 


Let me know how you would style your boyfriend coats, I'd love to see what you come up with! 

Much Love xx

Uni Life

Hey Hey, All my fellow Nerds!

This semester I have a few friends to help me commit to the new semester.
Being a professional procrastinator I find having company from cute stationary makes the year a whole lot easier!
I find a lot more security in having, written allocations of all things to do... 
A balanced medium of study,work, budgeting and a social life is important, so for me organisation is the key... DUH! 
Theres a fun way of doing it, for starters find an all purpose 'Everyday Planner' like mine which I bought from office works for a bargain! I love it! 
Whatever your learning ability stress will come and stress will go... 
However, just remember that with challenge comes gain, and with struggle comes success and appreciation
Uni is only what you make it! 
So make it fun,creative and interesting! It's worked for me :)
I'll keep you all updated on all things uni
Until then...
Stay Fab xox

Healthy Yummies


Goodmorning All!

This morning for breakfast I decided to give myself a health kick and attempted to fill myself with something delicious but nutritious! 

Below I have shared a photo of a supplement - 'Vital Greens' that has been stored away in my pantry for months, hidden from any human contact...
 Due to one very bad experience with it I was determined to never try it again. 
For those who have tried it I'm sure you know what I mean, but for those who haven't (lucky you) it's a green powder that is created from 76 vital vitamins, minerals, super foods, antioxidants etc. AND it isn't that yummy... 
But today I gathered all my strength, courage and creativity and made myself a super smoothie! (pictured below also)

In my smoothie I put, 
About 3-4 large Strawberries cut up in small cubes, 2 full teaspoons of Vital Greens, low fat milk, a decent spoon full of ice-cream.. (hehe), about a tablespoon of black chia seeds, about 2-3 big spoons of low fat yoghurt and a squish of honey.. 

Wahlaa! 
Now, I was still very fearful of the outcome, BUT! Its not bad at all.. 


this little blog entry, was something that I have found to be useful to me in actually finding a great way to make yuck supplements taste great. So, thanks :)
I believe that you can use this recipe with other supplements etc. So go on now, there is no excuse :)

So stay FAB.

Healthy Yummies (Breakfast Edition)

Goodmorning/Goodafternoon dolls!

When living healthily a key factor in reaching success is to be sure that we get a healthy, nutritious & yummy breakfast (because lets face it, breakfast options can be quiet bland, and undesirable).
I can't exactly admit to eating breakfast religiously but I can say that I recognise a difference in the quality of my day when I do. 
Being Winter and having a increasingly busy lifestyle between tackling work, uni, family commitments and squashing in a social life (and being so very lazy...), I find it so hard at times to motivate myself to eat each morning.. (which is crazy because if you knew me, you would understand how much I can eat and how much I LOVE food) 
 I mean it takes forever to get ready and then before you know it I'm practically running down the street for the bus and on the verge of being fired. 
So... breakfast for me is a time risk.. haha..
But, I have come to realise all its benefits and so can you! And I can help...
Put away those bland and lifeless cereals that claim to be 99% fat and sugar free - because lets face it they aren't. Throw out those breakfast diet cookbooks!
I have some simple and easy breakfast ideas, that are yummy, satisfying and healthy. 

1. The simple Museli, Greek Yoghurt and Fresh Berry combination. (my breakfast this morning, pictured below). I know it doesn't seem as enticing as bacon and eggs but I find that greek yoghurt's bitterness and strawberry sweetness compliment each other and my stomach agrees. It easy and simple and goes down well.

2. A Spinach Omelette, I dont know what it is about eggs and spinach but they make me happy! I get so full and satisfied from this meal I'm not hungry for a long time and it fills you up with all this goodnes. 
It made Popeye strong and cartoons wouldn't lie to us, right... 

3. Salmon, Avocado, Philadelphia on Toast. This meal is quiet fancy. Salmon is full of "the good fats" which is always nice to see, Avocado is full of "good oils" and philadelphia is all natural and has 60% less fat then butter or margarine (I'm sold...) 

On an Ending Note, I find that mixing chia seeds with all my meals keeps me fuller for longer and eating a handful of almonds keeps me satisfied. Thats if you are hungry all the time and want to decrease your consumption, which is what I'm trying to achieve. Because my PT boyfriend recently told me that Consumption must balance out with our energy expenditure, which shocked me but if you trying to tone up and live healthy i found it a really assisting tip. 

Lately I have also been trying to drink a glass of water with lemon first thing in the morning to wake up my systems and flush me out (sort of like a mini morning detox). Ill let you know how it works out for me. 



I hope that was helpful, because I never knew breakfast could actually be interesting either until I gave it a go. 

So stay FAB my Ordinary people

Winter Naughties!

Good Evening Follow Night Owls! 

Tonight I indulge on my favourite greek delicacy, haloumi cheese!  unlike other cheeses, haloumi isn't high in fat as most cheeses and a good source of protein.
Maybe not so good at 10pm however delicious at any time, day or night!
Recently, I went to the Hunter Valley with my boyfriend and we went cheese and wine tasting, I still side with haloumi cheese as being the best cheese ever!
During our adventure I discovered this delicious Rosemary and Garlic mustard, that joined my haloumi creation and created a party in my mouth! 

Yummmm.
