Free Summer Days
There truly is nothing better than a free day!
I was meant to work todays, even though it is Saturday I have a weekend job in order to support my shopping, travelling and eating habits, which really eat into my savings. But the weekend gods were shining down on me today and gave me the weekend off. Can't complain with that!
Started off a lovely day with a beautiful breakfast on the balcony of greek yogurt, mixed berries and honey and my favourite green tea. My lovely mother sent me a care package for Christmas and added my favourite tropical green tea, by a local company from back home, Mighty Leaf. I've been rationing my stash like it's going out of style!
Add to that sunshine and Harpers Bazaar Australian January/February 2012 issue and I am loving not working!

Backwards Transition Summer to Fall?
Since moving to Australia just over one month ago I have hit the summer weather and fell madly in love with bikinis again. mini skirts, cut off jean shorts and flirty summer dresses. It worked especially well for me because when I was leaving the states all the fun Spring/Summer clothing was starting to make a presence in all stores.
However, now in the States everyone is gearing up for Summer while I, down unda, will have to start pulling together some more Fall appropriate looks with a wardrobe of Summer clothing. How can one do this you might be asking?
Layers, my friend, beautifully layered looks is the answer....

Layers, my friend, beautifully layered looks is the answer....
Throwing on a long cardi over a Summer Time mini dress and topping it all off with boots make this look Fall worthy.
Because I can never survive too long without denim cut offs...all you need to do is all a cute Military inspired jacket and you are good to go.
A scarf is my favorite layer piece to take any outfit from Summer into Fall. Jeans + Tank + Leopard Scarf = My Go To Outfit!
Jeans = the perfect Fall item. The splash of red makes it feel more festive and Summer/Spring Like.
Jean Shorts again, why because we love them! DIY a studded pair for yourself :)
And not that the Gold Coast ever gets that cold but jean shorts layered with tights and booties are an all time Fall Fav.

St. Kilda, Melbourne
I was in Melbourne this weekend for my Birthday and fell in LOVE with the city. One of my favorite areas was the layed back, trendy, sweet shop filled region of St. Kilda. The shops were amazing lots of cute vintage places, old record stores, mixed with newer boutiques.
We had Pavlova, a meringue base topped with whipped cream and fruit, which is an Australian specialty, and a Caramel Cookie Crust Cake thingy that was out of this world.
But I couldn't stay away from all the mouth watering pastry shops they had to offer. The smell on the street was utter intoxication! And it so happened to be my Birthday the day we went down to St. Kilda so I just couldn't resist sharing some delicioso birthday cakes. Which got devoured very quickly!

I had an amazing Birthday to say the least. And silly me did not take any photo's of my BDay outfit. But here is a Polyvore set of basically what I was wearing. Enjoy!

"A Girl Can't Make An Entrance Without Her Lipstick
Kate Moss is the new face for Dior's New Addict Lipstick. Anything this goddess touches turns to gold and I can't help but love the new lipstick. I don't know if I love it cause of the actual color or just because I want a lipstick that I know Kate Moss wears?
I'm not much of a lipstick wearer because frankly I'm still in my lipgloss wearing days. I have upgraded from cherry pink, and strawberry flavored Bon Bell's but let's be honest my favorite lipgloss is a light pink sparkly Mac one, by the name of Right Image. And I love a hot pink pedicure or my favorite bright purple Essie Polish, Bermuda Shorts, to conjure up all shorts of elementary school images :)
With Kate Moss fronting the image of this new Dior Lipstick I think I'm ready to upgrade from my high school lipgloss days to a more sophisticated lipstick. I did just turn one year older and maybe I am ready now to be the teensiest bit more mature. And if i ever feel like the Dior Addict Lipstick is too grown up I just have to remind myself that Kate Moss got caught snorting coke, she parties like a rock star, has tits like a goddess and makes it all look so effortless. Kate whatever you back I will always follow!

Zac Posen line launching at Target
I can not wait for Zac Posens collaboration with Target to hit stores on April 25, 2010! They better be stocking it at my local Target because I am loving the Warhol esq prints, playful spring colors, and feminine lines that Posen is so well known for. I'm dying for tiger print sailor dress in pink with turquoise accents. Definately one of my purchases from this line. Can't wait!
