Just Purchased: Sportsgirl Mini Haul

Just Purchased: Sportsgirl Mini Haul by stacia 

It's no surprise that I have been dying to find the perfect black oversized floppy hat and today is the moment that I finally found it and for a decent price. 

Sportsgirl is one of my all time favourite brands and it is always torturous stepping foot into a sportsgirl store at any time because they always have amazing pieces and I literally just want to buy everything. 

Today, I couldn't resist buying my adorable hat, a gorgeous boho mini bag which is perfect for travelling (both pictured above) and I bought myself a phone case too!

Elie Saab Haute Couture

I have been a major fan of Elie Saab for years.

His designs are always so feminine and manage to find the perfect balance between sexy and classy!

It's safe to say that I am in love with his new collection 'The Promise Of Spring'.

I mean, whats not to love? Lace, lace and more lace... highlighted with beautiful shades of purple and black.

One word: perfection.

David Jones Autumn/Winter '14 Fashion Launch

My eternal love affair with the colour black is something that all my readers should know about. 

Black is always classy, chic and timeless and I love seeing some of the most iconic fashionista's showcasing their style and their personal representation of the black on black trend. 

These are three of my favourite looks from the event!

Oh... & can I just mention that whoever was in charge of the decoration of the venue did a gorgeous job, I love the floral/garden theme! 

Style Crush: Margot Robbie

Oh, how I remember watching her years ago on Neighbours!

This actress played a fashionista/fashion designer on the television series and years later, has now gained herself the hype of one of the biggest breakout actresses.

I must say, I am loving her style right now and I'm always so proud when fellow aussie's make it in hollywood! 

The Golden Globes 2014: Fashion Favourites

Oh how I love the awards season, the glamour, the beautiful gowns, the sexiest men and women of showbiz....

What's not to love?

I know this post is extremely delayed but like I said in my recent post, I was away on holidays and had close to zero reception to post, so better late than never!

I must say though that I was actually disappointed by the outfits worn this year, I feel compared to last year it was quite average.

However, I always have my favourites, and my top three would have to be:

1. Reese Witherspoon in Calvin Klein Collection.

2. Sofia Vergara in Zac Posen.

3. Jenna Dewan-Tatum in Roberto Cavalli,

Style Crush: Sara Donaldson

This is a dedication post to my all time favourite fashion blogger.

Her style is always feminine, classy and just perfect!

If you don't follow her already, I seriously suggest you get straight on it!

New Years Eve

This fashion set is basically what my NYE outfit is looking like so far! 

I think my new floral print dress and swarovski ring need to come out and play for the night!

Still not too sure what my plans are exactly but who knows?

Anything could happen

I am honestly so excited for next year and for all good things to come!

Especially the many special things I have planned for this blog ;)

buh-bye 2013...

BRING ON 2014!

Wishing all my readers a VERY Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Instagram Christmas Inspiration

Seriously in love with all these photos.

I mean which girl wouldn't want a gorgeous Tiffany & Co or Samantha Willis present under the tree?

OR a trip to Paris? Now that would be the ultimate gift!

 I know what I will be doing this time of year and that is swimming at the beach as it will be a beautiful and sunny Christmas here in Australia!

Oh and I forgot to mention I am in serious awe of those metallic eyeliners... amazing!

Shopping Diary

Shopping Diary by stacia on Polyvore

I honestly don't think words begin to explain how excited I am about my most recent purchase.

MAC has honestly become my favourite brand of makeup because it is honestly the BEST quality.

It's funny how things turn out because for weeks I have been telling everyone how I wanted to go to the city to buy more MAC lipstick, but the problem with living in Australia (as my of my fellow oz citizens/readers will understand) is that everything is so much more expensive! MAC lipstick costs $36 here which is a lot compared to the US where it only costs $15!

Two days ago, modinique began its massive black friday sale, one event was all MAC cosmetics and let me tell you I went insane! I braced myself and was in serious competitive mode fighting hundreds of people for those lipsticks!

The three lipstick shades I bought in order of the photo from left to right are fabby, bombshell and verve.

The lipgloss I bought is the dazzleglass in baby sparks. I bought this lipgloss when I went to Hawaii three years ago and it is my FAVOURITE! It's perfect for special occasions :-)

I have been wanting to invest in good quality makeup brushes for a while so I was lucky enough to grab an eyeshadow brush and a blush/power brush which are essentials!

The revlon nail polish however I did not buy online! I have wanted a nude nail polish now for ages, and when I found it today I had to have it! The colour is called 'trade winds', can't wait to try it out!

Overall, all the MAC makeup I bought from the sale cost me $100 USD including shipping and I calculated that I saved $200 AUD compared to if I was to purchase everything here, hence why I am one happy chappy!

The sale ends tomorrow!

Afternoon Reading

Lauren Goodger is by far my favourite reality tv star, I adore her because she is such a good role model for young women, which is refreshing in this day and age. 

After a day of stressful shopping its nice to come home and relax like this!

I only have two chapters to go so upon finishing, if you would like me to write a book review post - comment below! :-)
