My Week In Pictures

I had a fabulous week, starting with mountains of chocolate for Easter and ending with a fabulous festival listening to amazing music. Here are some snapshots from my week. 

On the weekend I picked up some beautiful bright Dahlia flowers from my local florist. I love having fresh flowers in my rooms as it brings so much life and colour into the environment.

I have been eating gluten free this week and picked up some tasty muesli with a berry crunch to add into some natural yoghurt. I love topping it will fresh fruit aswell. It is very healthy and a new type of snack for me! I also love eating from jam jars or mason jars.

A new cafe opened around the corner from my house, so I had to try it out! Had a lovely coffee with my parents!

 

On Easter Monday I went to the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I saw so many cute animals like this horse and the little bunnies. Was a nice day out, especially since I haven't been in ages!

I went on a little shopping trip to the city and stopped by Zara. I have never really bought a lot from Zara, as it is still relatively new in Australia and is always packed full of people. But I picked up a nice new pair of skinny leg jeans, 2 blouses and a jumper. I was surprised how reasonably price they all were too! 

Cocktails with the girls on Saturday at Opera Bar in the city. Had some of the yummiest cocktails which were very sweet!

On Sunday I went to the Groovin the Moo festival. It was amazing and got to see so many artists that I was dying to see. Here is a glimpse of my festival makeup.

Mid-Week Joys

It is Wednesday and I officially have a week and a half off from uni! But it is still midweek and there are a couple more days until the weekend comes and we can over indulge in easter eggs, so here are a few of my essential items getting me through this week. 

The first item is my new Witchery coin purse. I had a voucher at Witchery and come across this amazing patent leather purse while I was browsing in the store. It is called the 'Jessie Coin Pouch' and I am in love with it. I have been wanting to buy a small purse to have in my bag in addition to my wallet. I don't like my wallet being filled with too many cards, so this is great to store my extra cards and my train ticket. It is even big enough to fit my phone, so would be great for using as a going out clutch.

During the week I also like to take some time out to sit down and write down what has been going on in my life. I have a five year memory book that I got about a year and a half ago. Everyday I write a line or two about what happened during that day and how I was feeling. It is really nice to have these memories and look back on what happened in the previous year. I have a shocking memory and am always scared I will forget all my amazing memories that I have, so this journal helps me collect my thoughts. 

I also write with my Swarovski crystal pen that I purchased from work, which makes writing even more special and fancy. These pens are also great as gifts and come in so many pretty colours. 

The final item for my Mid-Week Joys is my hand cream, by The Aromatherapy Company. I have been trying to make a conscious effort to put hand cream on, as my hands often get dry as the weather gets colder. This hand cream is amazing and the scent is cocoa vanilla and cassia. It is so smooth and packed full of essential oils that help keep my hands full of moisture without being sticky. 

What are your pick-me-ups for your mid week blues?

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!
