March Favourites

This month has brought a lot of happy moments, so I thought I would share my favourite things of this month!

A new item to my wardrobe this month is my Witchery ankle boots! I love these tan leather boots and feel they are a MUST for autumn/winter. The colour is something different than your usual black boots and tan is a colour that goes with a lot. I have been wearing these with my black skinny leg 'wet look' Zara jeans and a few dresses (I want it to be winter already!)


I have been wearing two perfumes a lot this month. These two are staples to my perfume collection and are always my favourite. 

Daisy by Marc Jacobs and Miss Dior

Due to the warm weather still lingering around, these scents have been perfect due to the floral fragrance. Who wouldn't want to smell like a flower?!


I went on a makeup shopping spree this month and picked up some new cosmetics to add to my collection. I started using a new MAC studio finish powder. I was lucky enough to have a spare of these in my cupboard, which was received as a present. I love this product and have been using it for about 4 years! It has a lovely flawless, matte, full coverage finish. This makes it easy to apply and always makes me feel good!

I found a new brand called Models Prefer, which was reasonably well-priced and had cute, compact packaging. I bought a cherry pink lipstick, four colour bronzer, four colour eyeshadow palette and a blush. I needed a new bronzer and wanted a few extra colours for eyeshadow. The eyeshadow colours are great, very earthy and natural tones. 






I am obsessed with bunnies at the moment! Easter is coming and there are bunnies everywhere in the shops. They are so adorable. So I was super surprised when my boyfriend bought me this adorable bunny backpack from Seed! It was such a sweet gesture and I was not expecting it. It made me so happy. Look how cute it is!



My favourite drink of this month is 'Charlie's Lemonade Quencher'. It tastes amazing! It really is like an old fashioned lemonade you would find at a homemade lemonade stand. 


I hope next month brings many more favourites!

What I Am Loving Today

Mondays are normally a pretty average start to the week. Despite it pouring in Sydney today, there were a lot of things that made me smile. 

A quote that gave me some inspiration today: 


To begin, begin.
- William Wordsworth

The first thing I was loving was my new Asos jumper. I recently bought a few new clothing items from Asos and got the chance to wear this grey pocket jumper today, now that the weather is getting cooler. I paired it with an Evil Twin Denim shirt, Ksubi jeans and grey Vans. 

On the way home from Uni, I stopped by a bookstore to pick up a few new books to read. My goal for this year is to read more books and include a few classics to my reading list. I purchased the following books:

  • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
  • The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
  • Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
I am a huge fan of Fitzgerald and wanted to read a few more of his books. I have always wanted to read the other two books, and I definitely would class these books as classics. I am very excited to start reading these books!


I am also very excited to be getting a new Michael Kors watch this week, adding to my collection! Working in a jewellery shop definitely feeds my addiction for all things nice. I cant wait to get the tan leather watch in rose gold.

Weekend Joys

This weekend was actually an excellent weekend. Despite being a tough and mind numbing week, I was able to get out of that head space and enjoy myself. Sometimes in life, you have to appreciate the smallest things and not take everything for granted. Letting go of things is somewhat refreshing and I think I am beginning to learn how to do that. It is something I definitely need to work on in order to improve myself, but I think I finally understand it. 

The first would be the satisfying task of cleaning out my makeup and organising it! Some people might find this a mundane task but I absolutely love it. I bought some new makeup and decided I would reorganise my containers. I find having my makeup set out like this is a lot easier than storing it all in my makeup bag (which I used to do). 


Saturday was such a beautiful day it would have been a crime not to go on a picnic! The weather was amazing, the sun was shining and it made me feel very happy. I was excited to see Jordan and wanted to go do something different. So I packed a few goodies, like dip, crackers, strawberries and some homemade muffins into a bag and set out on a picnic. We went to Oatley park and sat down by the water. It was nice just to soak up some rays and spend some quality time together. And the food was delish. 



We had plans to go out for dinner on Saturday night, to a burger restaurant in Surry Hills. We have been meaning to go for a while and finally got the chance to go. The restaurant is called Chur Burger and I am definitely glad we went! The burgers were delicious and the atmosphere was excellent. I had a cheeseburger, Jordan had a pulled pork burger and we shared chilli flake chips. We also had milkshakes which was the perfect combination with our burgers. I had a Milo milkshake and Jordan had the salted caramel. So good.


Sunday I worked at the jewellery shop. Not a bad day, seeing as I bought a new Pandora ring to stack with my other rings. I purchased the ring on top of the other two and I think it compliments my stack nicely. I often like to buy small pieces, either just because I want it or just to reward myself. That is why we work isn't it!?

I am going to try and keep posting these parts of my life and sharing different moments on here. I hope I can keep this up and have something to look back on!
