These past few weeks..

I feel like these past few weeks have been insane! I have barely been able to catch my breath. And it’s been so fucking fantastic.

I was away in Sydney seeing my #bestie and #bestiesboyfie for about 10 days and i absolutely fell inlove with SYD. It reminded me so much of New Zealand and I actually got pretty emotional because it made me miss NZ so much more than i realized. It was beyond beautiful in Sydney, especially up in Budgewoi where my friend lives. I caught a train from her house into Sydney which took about an hour and a bit and it was amazing!! A blimmen double decker train – we don’t have em in Perth! Was so rad. Toilets on board even. So fancy.

Anyway – the views that you pass when you are on this train are actually stunning. I was “oo-ing” at all the beautiful landscapes and views while subtly crying because I miss home so much and i didn’t realize how much i missed home until i really thought about it.

Sydney is the happy medium. It’s beautiful like NZ, Has the similar weather but the benefit of being in Australia  with all the perks. I could definitely live there. For sure.

While in Sydney – I went to Kanye West and i can honestly say that he was AMAZING!!! Such an interactive performer and I didn’t sit down once. I was literally half twerking and rapping at the same time. Such a rad vibe. And knowing that you were in the same room as Kim Kardashians booty just made it all the more special.

We were at the concert where Kanye apparently told the men in the wheelchairs to stand up. That never happened. At all. What actually happened was very different and not remotely how the media played it out to be. Kanye is an interactive performer and he told us all to stand up. He said “unless you are in a wheelchair and can’t stand up – then i want you to stand up” and that was pretty much it. It’s funny how you read magazines and they make these celebrities out to be so cold and cruel but until you are actually there – you have no idea.

We got your back this time Yeezus. I got you bub.

Overall i give him 10/10 for that show. Pusha T was an amazing opening act too. He was so crisp and clear and didn’t miss a beat or a line. Love you Push. I love you bae.

When i was over east Annie and Chris took me to Manly and i lost it. I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was there. I feel like if i could be a seagull – i would defs hang around Manly all day because everyone was so lovely and i would most definitely get enough chippies to sustain a healthy life.

The only down fall was when we went to get lunch at this pub and we literally had to wait like an hour and when i got my fish – there wasn’t any sauce or even any lemon. Should have listened to Chris and got Hungry Jacks. Never again. Going to give such a bad review on Urban Spoon and i never give bad reviews on Urban Spoon because i always feel bad for them.

I had a beautiful last day with my bestie too. Chilling at the little beach down the road. I got a pretty healthy tan as well. Thank you for having me Annie and Chris! Love you guys and miss you so much! Canney wait to go back for more teevee snacks and amazing views. I felt so at home in Sydney an di loved every minute of being over east. Xxx

By the time i got back to Perth – Telstra Perth Fashion Festival had already begun and i was iiiitching to get back and see what Perth had to offer. And as usual – the talented designers did not disappoint.

My darling Reny Kestel and Sandy Lai took me to Galvanised and it was amazing. We had the pleasure of sitting next to designers Alex Perry and Johnny Schembri front row. Was actually such a beautiful show.

Empire Rose had teamed up with Reny Kestel and put on an insane show. The amount of talent on one runway was actually overwhelming.  It was a mixture of elegance, a rock show and some type of fairy tale. I can’t tell you how proud I am of Reny for her beautiful head pieces that were on show. Yaaaaaas lady!!

Check out her work at   www.renykestel.com

Hello Parry had their first fashion show in Fashion Central on the Saturday and i was beyond excited to see how it would all go. Sandy Lai had put so much effort into this show and i was so proud of her! Everything was styled beautifully and the models were elegant and stunning. Such a great job girl! The whole vibe of the show was fun and reminded me of Summer. I can’t wait to get my little hands on the amazing pieces that were shown that day! If you haven’t been on the site then have a look! I guarantee you’ll fall inlove with it! Welldone Sandy and Nick too!!

That night i went to the WA designers night and was absolutely blown away. WA is full of so many talented designers and i was ecstatic to be sitting next to Style Crush Blogger Natalie Italiano  and the stunning Andrea Goh. My favourite  from the show was probably Ethel & Leo, BRUUG and of course – Sara Winfield Swim because who doesn’t like a swimsuit show? Seriously. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like them . I have already put majority of her pieces on my wish list for summer but really - her pieces are so beautiful that i would wear them all year round.

I am looking forward to getting into events and fashion more and more and hopefully being more involved in the fashion community in WA. Looking forward to working on a wee project myself and i'll keep you all posted. 

So keen to be back into blogging more often as well. yaaaaaaay!!!

27/8

You know that scene in kill bill vol 1 where Uma is punching at that block of wood for like 90million years and then goes and tries to use chopsticks and eat rice and she cant? Thats what im like today.. usually im really good with them but like.. i dunno? Must have just woken up today and my hands were like “no, we aren’t doing that anymore” and it sucks because i’m super hungry for this stir fry.

So anyway, i’ve been excited for this weekend coming for so long. Probably like a year! Its my good friends wedding!!! So blimmen excited! I can’t wait to see two people i love so much say “i do” and cement their love for eachother for all of eternity! I always cry at weddings. I actually cry everywhere and at anytime but there is totally something about weddings that gets me all emotional and lovely and weak. Then i usually get drunk and dance like beyonce in the middle of the D floor. Everyone thinks that it’s just a playful dance battle that i’m having but actually.. in my mind.. i’m 12 again. On the stage at Forum North and i want to get first in the impromptu or i’ll lose my shit.

So before you go up and get all up in my grill at a wedding.. just remember that.

I did MMA once.. so you know.. just saying.

I finally have a dress for the wedding.. this is my LEAST favourite part of weddings.. “what shall i wear?” “what are you wearing?” “is this too short for a wedding?” “are my boobs out too much?” all of these questions.. i opted for a cute striped dress by Miss Olive Shop and its so cute. Some sexy,chunky tan heels from Lipstick and a fresh tan from my girl Kayla. So keen to be tan again. I feel so yuck when i’m pale. Isn’t that ridiculous? I feel so good with a tan though.. i think i was meant to be born looking more Mexican than i do.

Do you ever get that? Do you think you were meant to born a certain way? I met a girl once who said she had like a phantom booty.. like when she ran she felt like she could feel her bum jiggling but really.. she didn’t really have a bum at all.. so she thought maybe she should have been born with a bigger bum.  mm.. strange hey..

Zara just opened up in Perth. I had been to the one in Dubai and it was a beauty, then i went to the Melbourne one and was let down so i wasn’t too upset when i went to the one here. Some nice pieces..but i feel like they don’t cater for girls with boobs you know? All the dresses are so tight up there. You have to let your boobs breathe you know? Or otherwise they will get squished and create a bum-chest which is basically a bum on your chest. And it’s really not too attractive… I wish that they would stock a curvier range but I guess they have just opened so they will get more stock in. And when they do.. I’ll be there.

I wish that i stuck to my diet plan that i made months ago..but i feel like life is way too short to starve yourself you know? i can't help but eat muffins and chocolate and cake. I just love it all too much. Chips.. i could eat chippies with aioli for the rest of my life. But i only really like the chips if they are super fatty.. like transparent from the fat they were cooked in. mm, yes.

But i didn't stick to my plan and now its too late to have a flat tummy for the wedding so I'mjust gonna have to glad-wrap my body before the wedding on sat. Celebrities do it.. i saw it on Instagram so i'm totally going to do it. also tummy-suck knickers are winners. I'm just loving being a bit curvier. I have this booty now! i feel like J.LO!!

Speaking of Jenny from the Block.. did ya'll see the VMA's? insane. j.lo looked so amazing. so did rita ora,kesha,miley and demi! Beyonce was ***FLAWLESS as usual. I was a little let down with Kendall Jenner and Kylie.. i dunno.. they just looked bored the whole time. Like.. c'mon Kylie.. smile! you'reat the VMAS!!

Here are some of my favourite snaps from the VMAS and my week :)

Everything you've been through makes you stronger and everyday you learn about yourself.

Everything you've been through makes you stronger and everyday you learn about yourself.

Never a truer statement made.

I feel like everyday, this becomes more and more relevant to me and my life.

It's like everything really does happen for a reason. And i know that you have all heard that before but its so so so true.

There's a reason you are here right now. There's a reason those people are in your life and theres a huge reason why some people are no longer a part of your life.

It's hard to come to terms with sometimes - like "why have i drifted apart from her?", "why didn't i get that job?" , "why do things never go my way?"

All these questions. Things aren't happening like that because they aren't meant to.

I am a firm believer in fate. 

I really am. But in saying that.. I am also a firm believer that if you want something bad enough and you honestly believe that certain things should happen for you - then make them.  

Go out with positive vibes and make those things happen.

Positivity is where it's at. I swear to you. You can turn your whole day around with just one positive thought in the morning.

You can change your life by surrounding yourself with positive people and positive things.

Things that make you smile.

Tea, Yoga, Reading, Photography, Laughter and Love.

Whatever works for you and whatever you like - just do it.

You all deserve the best life. 

Live your life the way you want to.

Every single day is a lesson. You will learn so much about yourself every single day. 

Make everyday as positive as you can! What a positive story your life will tell. Imagine the things you can accomplish when you are 100% in the zone and open to anything that comes your way.

Because everything happens for a reason. And what's for you won't go past you.

LOVE

Hi kids!!! 

Here's my latest ootd post.

Perfect for the chilly days that are in full force lately!

I love this jersey from Glamzelle.com

And these Reebok kicks are the best!!! 

A crisp white T is a must in your wardrobe. For all seasons.

The leather tights/pants are actually really nice. I tried to resist getting some for so long because I just wasn't keen on everyone seeing every single lump and bump on my booty. But you gotta love yo self and dress how you wanna. Fuck everyone else! 

So I got some and I gotta say.. The booty looks a-okay !!

I think that my passion for styling and fashion has made my confidence grow so much. It's funny how building up the confidence to wear a pair of leather tights can make you feel so good!

Enjoy

The little things...

When I was younger, I hated Sundays. Because the next day was Monday and that meant back to reality and back to school and work and back to the same old things. Now Sundays are what i live for. A tea and NBA or GOT and cuddles and walkies and love. And cake.

I have learnt that it's the little things that really make me happy. The small things with moments that are quiet and intimate and cosy. I think I am growing up.

Zoeva Brushes Arrived!!!

Well hey gang.

Guess who's back?! I'm sorry I have been so slack lately. I guess things just get in the way and life mainly.. life gets in the way. 

But i'm back! With a review on some awesome new makeup brushes from the German Brand Zoeva.

Now as most of you would already know.. I love Mac brushes. And Napoleon but for something equally as amazing and for half the price... let me introduce you to Zoeva.

Now I was so skeptical as you can imagine. I am majority of the time when i try out a new brush.  I get all anxious about it for some reason.. It's probably because I have had a brush near explode on my face. and I looked like Hairy Maclary. It was traumatic. anyway..

when i first heard about Zoeva i had just been browsing through instagram pages and came across their page. Made in Frankfurt, Germany and they looked pretty legit. so i did a wee dig around and there was nothing negative i could find about them.. the price is beyond good. think like half or even less than half of Mac or Sigma prices and the look of them was sleek and beautiful for your personal makeup bag or even if you are a professional i honestly suggest giving these guys a go.

I purchased my bad boyz from www.luxola.com.au and the shipping was fast and reasonable. 

I will probably do a review on each of my brushes soon but for now.. I'm off to play with them on my face! I love them! 

LOVE
