July Spring in The City

Winter in Sydney .... Let's face it it's really not that harsh, oh yes it gets cold, and fresh but really the days have been so stunning so who doesn't dream of the warmer months? This is why I love my country Australia I'm a summer time lover!

This weekend was my husbands birthday, I treated him to a weekend down in our famous city Sydney& what should have been a treat for him probably ended up more so for me!!
I scored what I already I think is my new favourite outfit! Spring collections are already arriving in stores much to my delight.

White Suede is a favourite label of mine I love their collections & their Black Shine jeans are probably the most comfortable wardrobe staple that I wear regularly. This weekend we visited their beautiful Paddington store  & I bagged a beautiful pencil skirt which is an Ah-Mazing fit & stylish length its going to get a lot of wear & if you follow me on Instagram you know my obsession this last season of Viktoria & Woods looks like it could continue on into this season Bless! David Jones is already stocking some of their new pieces on the shelf. Now with online shopping & fashion bloggers you always know what's coming up then when it is in store I am online checking things out, I feel like I know what's there before shopping in the shops, so yesterday felt like the old days when things had arrived & it was a complete surprise! So a gorgeous black top classic crop beautiful cut I just know it will be a staple piece for the season ahead became mine!

I feel like it was the perfect outfit for our night out I teamed it with my Christian Louboutin Black Pumps & Chanel "Wallet On Chain" & kept my jewellery simple with By Charlotte earrings, ones I haven't worn but picked up in Brisbane last year!
We had drinks at The Shangri La Level 36 Blu Bar & Dinner at a gorgeous restaurant on O'Connell Street Swine & Co such a fun night!

Michael & I had fun taking these pics after dinner in the city he's becoming a great photographer don't you think? LOL  ;-D

Have a great week

I'll Have What She's Having

There's a new trend happening & I admit I am caught up in it .....

Nail Styling, Shellac or Vinylux Manicure, Rebalances, Enhancements, Patterns, Prints not to mention over 68 colours from all spectrums of the rainbow. Got a colour in mind & you can't find it? Don't worry it can be made!!!!! 

Gone are the days of dodgy French Tips from Sally Hanson (go on admit it you did it) or disasters at home spilling RED polish everywhere or sitting for hours on end waiting for polish to dry then going to bed & you wake up sure you hadn't moved nails peeping out if the sheet & they end up marked, damaged, ruined anyway! 

This trend is sweeping through my town almost like an epidemic. The one thing everyone got to have done! The envy & comparing, waiting for the next Facebook update on Instagram post to see what's new or can be copied, particularly in my work place, where phrases like "Did you see that colour she's having?" "What's that colour called?" "Ooohhhs, Aahhhhs I like that". "You Know Ill be having that next time!" "I copied You (wink wonk)"are thrown around every other day.

Luckily for me the go to girl is my very own talented  & creative sister Skye McIntyre . She is SO popular that when the girl in Woolworths asked me what colour my nails were & I told her also throwing in a promotion of "I go to ...."  She cut me off an answered "Skye McIntyre I know.... everyone goes to her she's the best around" I walked away with my strawberries, yoghurt & my puffed up chest feeling very chuffed! 

I have my set appointment every 3 weeks I whip over to her gorgeous salon in my lunch break then come back to work showing off my new creation! Now I will say I'm not really the adventurous type I tend to keep it simple & as a result I was yet to make it onto the Skye McIntyre Board (YES she has one) so when one of the girls I follow on Instagram @EatandShop posted a creation I was smitten with,  (I'm always inspired by others, thanks so much Hun for letting me copy you!) I just had to copy it & Skye was happy to me help out she loves a challange.

I love it looks so cool thanks Sis & YES! I finally made onto her board!!!! 

Love Lauren
