OOTD: Kenzo Dress

8 Comments

This week is New Zealand Fashion Week and I’ll be attending my first show this morning. In light of this week’s fashionable events, I thought I’d post this Kenzo dress I got from Savemart because it’s one of my trendy ‘fashun’ things in my closet.

I absolutely love this but scoping out photos on social media and other blogs, it seems like black is the colour of choice of fashion week attendees. I’m unsure whether to wear this bright dress in the next four days yet so I’ll see how that goes.

I’ve actually styled this in two different ways. See below for more photos.

Topshop Lips Swatch

14 Comments

Topshop Beauty is something that doesn’t get talked about as much. I think people overlook Topshop makeup because it doesn’t specialise in cosmetics. However, I have loved most things I have tried from Topshop Beauty especially their lipsticks.

I have the same number of Topshop Lips as my MAC lipsticks and with the price difference, I prefer Topshop Lips more.

I have a full lip swatch and review below.

MAC Lipstick Swatch

21 Comments

It has been a while since my last lipstick swatch so I thought I’d finally post my MAC lipstick collection and swatches.

I didn’t realise how much my MAC lipstick collection has increased in the past years. I currently have 10 which doesn’t seem too much compared to other beauty bloggers but considering these are $40NZ, it is too much.

To check all the shades in my collection and what they look like on, please click below.

“I see life in instagram squares”

I believe the quote above is from Sara Donaldson of Harper and Harley who is in Fashion Bloggers, a tv show featuring Australian bloggers. I love the show so much. I agree with her because I am obsessed with Instagram if you haven’t noticed already. My phone camera is always in square mode.

Anyway, I thought I’d put my monthly Instagram roundup along with this week’s #BlogGreatness theme of squares which is perfect!

The photos above are from my Melbourne trip last week. I will be posting all about it here on the blog so stayed tuned for that.

See below for the other highlights of July. Can you believe it’s August already?!

Desserts at Milse

16 Comments

Milse in Britomart has to be one of my favourite places in the city. It is my happy place because I have a major sweet tooth and love desserts.

I have been here too many times to count and I’m not embarrassed to say I have tried so many things they offer. What’s great about Milse is that they switch the ingredients around.

Last Saturday, my sister and I took my mum here as she’s never been. We were lucky to get a table.

See below for all the treats. If you’ve never been to Milse, I highly recommend it!

I found about this event today and I’m glad I decided to check it out. If you are interested in seeing some pretty light installations, head over to the North Shore because Stellar is on.

Stellar: Bright Ideas is for the Matariki Festival and it runs until Sunday night. There are seven light installations celebrating the arrival of Matariki (Seven Sisters) constellation in the winter night sky.

To see more of the photos I took, click below.
