Hear them roar!

 

 

For as long as we can remember, animal prints, from snake skin to cheetah, have been big on the fashion scene. Our furry friends have now taken over our wardobes in a new way, crawling onto our winter wools! Following the lead of some of our favourite celebs, here is an outfit that shows our love for beautfiul creatures (without looking like we belong in a zoo!)

Nail it: Vintage floral

So it's no secret that we love Spring and Summer. From the moment autumn and winter came round, we have been dying for the warmer months to arrive on our doorsteps, and with a few months til that happens, we thought we would indulge in a little Spring/Summer nail art ahead of time to quench our thirst for the sun, sand and all things floral!

 

No professional nail art tools were needed for any of these looks, so even a novice nail artiste can nail this look. All you'll need are some nail polishes and a bobby pin...easy!Now, it may look like a ton of different colours were used, but trust us, this vintage floral work of art is very simple to achieve.

Nail these vintage floral nails in 5 easy steps!!

 

1. Apply 2-3 coats of your desired colour until it forms an opaque base.

 

2. Allow your base colour to dry completely then. with another colour, roughly paint 2-3 blobs onto each nail. These are the starts of your flowers.

 

3. Again, allow the blobs to dry before using the tip of a bobby pin to add detail to your flowers. It is completely upto you how and where you draw lines. This is what we did:

 

- traced the flower

- place a dot at the centre

- draw a rough scribble around the centre

 

 

 

4. Using the bobby pin, add leaves to the flower. You can also use a lighter green to draw in veins. This is optional.

 

 

5. The final step is to seal your artwork! Apply a top coat for a glossy finish and to make the design last.

 

Now, there is no need to be perfectionists with this look. We found that it actually looked better when the lines were less precise. Just relax and enjoy the experience of DIY nail art!

Winter Wedding

While Winter has truly settled in, the plummetting mercury levels have not stopped love birds from rushing to tie the knot. When we think weddings we see strapless dresses accessorised with the perfect summer tan, a barefoot beach ceremony and frangipanis. But what doesn't come to mind are over cast and blustery afternoons. But never fear, Winter weddings can be just as glamorous as a Summer ceremony.

Here we have chosen a slightly cosier option for attending a Winter wedding. If like us, you are a big fan of the A-line dress, this is the perfect outfit for you! Paired with a bauble necklace and wedges, this ensemble speaks romance. Obvioulsy if you aren't blessed with the warmer Winter days as we are here in Sydney, then a pair of stockings and a tailored blazer or coat will have you looking fab-u-lous and toasty warm for a day of love, tears and happiness!

Bargain!

 

We had our eyes on this GAP sweater for some time, but were not prepared to surrender our life savings. So when we stumbled across a similar sweater you can imagine how relieved our wallets were. While winter is tradtionally the season of dull colours, we loved the neon panel which adds a much needed splash of colour. The best thing about the sweater was its price. We snagged it for a fraction of what we would have had to pay for the GAP sweater. It was on sale from Just Jeans for, wait for it ...wait for it...$9.95!!

 



Just Jeans $39.95 $9.95
