Maxed Out - Stella

Generally, I don't often wear maxi dresses or skirts. I see them on other people and love them, but I never really like them on myself. I guess I just hadn't found the right one yet. The Garbo dress by Tysa Designs is incredible. I love the cut of this dress and the lace detailing around the bottom is so beautiful. Paired with  my Fallen Broken Street Hat, Kivari Kimono and some amazing jewels, this was the perfect outfit for my girls afternoon earlier in the week.

Experimenting With Makeup - Rose

I spend a lot of time watching beauty blogs on YouTube and have always had a huge interest in makeup, my drawers are packed with endless amounts of products which I love testing out. After following so many blogs and creating different makeup looks on myself, I realised that I love it and that I wanted to learn more. 

Recently I completed a makeup course mainly for fun and because I had a general interest in it. Like most people, I have always found it easy to do my own makeup because of years and years of practice but when it comes to working on others I find it really intimidating. The course has taught me so much about techniques to use on different shaped faces and skin types. It has really helped me gain so much more confidence to do a full face of makeup on someone else. 

I did my sisters makeup the other day for a wedding she was going to, I was so excited to be able to put what I had learnt in to practice. This was the first time I had done a full face of makeup on someone other than during my assessment and I loved every minute of it!

My Cousin has asked me to do her wedding makeup later this year so lately I have been focusing on researching different looks that we could try. She isn't having a 'traditional' wedding so its going to be exciting to be able to do something a little bit more creative. If you have any suggestions please feel free to leave a comment below, it would be great to get some inspiration from you all.

I have no idea where makeup will take me in the future but for now I am just enjoying experimenting on family and friends and getting in touch with my artistic side.

Stella- Festive Season

This festive season has been so joyful for me. I absolutely love this time of year. I have spent so much time relaxing with friends and family, eating enough food for the rest of the year, and turning into a complete water baby, enjoying long days by the pool or at the beach. 

I love a casual summer dress paired with a hat and covered in plenty of jewels. This hat by Milana has been one of my staple wardrobe pieces this season. I also am obsessed with my crystal necklace with the little feather feature on it from Mercy ST Collective. So amazing!

I hope you all loved your christmas as much as I did and if your still on holidays - make the most of it!

Accessorising - Rose

I just wanted to quickly share this adorable play-suit with you guys, I have already been living in it so much lately due to the humid Perth weather. When I saw it I couldn't resist the purchase, plus the lace detail around the bottom is too cute to walk away from. 

Lately I've been adding lots of accessories to my outfits, Rings, hats and flower crowns are some of my favorites at the moment. I never used to be a huge jewellery wearer, mainly because I hadn't come across any that I really loved or suited my style. Slowly my collection is growing with a range of treasures that I adore, I have also been spending my spare time getting creative and making my own pieces over the last few weeks. Its so fun to come up with new ideas and make something of my very own. Keep an eye out in our up coming posts to see some of my creations.

I hope you're all enjoying the lead up to Christmas and the last few weeks of 2013!

Stella - Working with Gypsylovinlight

Recently, I was lucky enough to be photographed by the amazing Helen Janneson Bense a.k.a Gypsylovinlight. For those of you who follow her, you will know how absolutely amazing she is in front of the camera, but little did you all know, she is also very passionate about photography herself and she is just as incredible behind the camera, as she is in front. 

 Helen told me she missed actually being able to take shots herself and that she was excited to get the camera back in her hands and get creative. Working with Helen was so inspiring. She captured some amazing moments and we had so much fun together.

If any of you haven't checked out Helens blog or Instagram, you have to have a look, she is such a beauty that constantly shares such magnificent photos that feature the most beautiful clothes and jewels.

China - Stella

For those of you who follow our instagram account, you will know that I recently visited China for a holiday. The trip was actually purchased by my boyfriend and I as a package from Scoopon and it ended up being so worthwhile and such great value. I had just finished my uni for the year so it was a perfect time to go on an adventure and celebrate the end of semester. 

China was an incredible country. We spent 10 days there and we were not ready to come home at all. There is so much to see. Some of the highlights for me included The Great Wall of China, Shanghai city and visiting several different local markets. We did the tour with a group of people and we were lucky enough to have such an amazing group to travel with. We met people from all over the world and formed some great friendships.

We took so many photos on the trip, but here are just a few I thought I'd share.

China is different, but it was honestly one of the best parts of Asia I have visited. I highly recommend going to check it out yourselves.

Short Story - Rose

I am really into shorts for this summer, the colours and prints that I have seen around lately are amazing. Usually I struggle to find the perfect pair because I am quite fussy about the cut, I much prefer a higher waist and find them so flattering on almost every body shape. 

This season I have come across so many that have such a great fit. The ones below are just one pair of many that have been added to my wardrobe in preparation of the warmer months. I spotted them on a brief shopping trip after work and couldn't resist the plaid print and tie up waist, they work perfectly paired with this plain tee and statement necklace.
