Dreary and grey with a face of the day

 Happy Easter everyone!

Today is good friday here in Australia, and what a dreary good Friday it has been, this morning it was pouring down rain, although as i type these words the sky has cleared up and the sun is shining through my kitchen window.

Todays post is a face of the day with a little snapshot of my outfit. Because its good friday myself and my fiance went over to visit my mum and took fish and chips for lunch, and took our little puppy over to play with my parents dogs, we had a lovely casual morning over there and now were just sitting at home, while I wait for the scones I made to finish baking:)

I also straightened my hair today and put my fringe in a bump on top of my head for some extra umph to an otherwise pretty boring look.

 The makeup that im sporting today is a Napoleon
 perdes anti redness primer, my loreal lumi true match foundation mixed with my covergirl 3 in 1 foundation to get my perfect shade. My blush is tarte exposed and my contour is nyx taupe, also using those same colours on my eyes for a wash of colour and definition. Anastasia brow powder in dark brown on my freshly threaded eyebrows and loreal false lash effect on my eye lashes.
I finished off todays casual look with a pop of red on my lips in the form of a Calvin Klein lip pencil in peaches, which is a beautiful neutral red colour.

 For my outfit I kept it super simple, with just dark wash skinny jeans, a grey satin singlet and a grey poncho (OBSESSED). For my shoes just some old knee high black moto boots.

Hope you guys all have a happy and safe easter.

The pants that never used to fit

Once upon a time their was a girl who lived in the land of delusion......

okay okay i wasn't that bad. but i did live in a place of  denial about my size and my weight, and i really just didn't want to face the truth about just how big i allowed myself to get.

While living in this delusional place, I used to buy jeans and other clothing in a size that i thought i was, when really i wasn't even close to that size. But every time i found something that didn't fit, I would just shove it into the back of my drawer, telling myself that one day it would fit.

That day finally came, recently i was packing up my room to move houses and i came across a drawer full of jeans that  have never fitted from the day i bought them. I decided to try them on before throwing them out ( or donating them), conceding that these pants were never going to fit. But as i tried them on, pair by pair, i was pleasantly surprised.

Not only did they fit for the first time ever, but some of them were even too loose for me to wear. It was an amazing moment of pride and a very proud healthy moment for me. I am writing this post to inspire all of you who maybe feel like the things you want are impossible, they arnt! Don't just reach for the stars, reach even higher, because the only limits we have are the ones we set for ourselves.

A poncho, a LBD and some thigh highs..

Autumn has finally hit us here in Melbourne, although it definatly feels like we've gone into winter without warning. With chilly temperatures about, I decided to bring out my winter wardrobe and pack away my summer dresses for this outfit of the day.








Today myself and my fiance went out to celebrate our 3 year anniversary which was last wednesday, we went out shopping and to see divergent, I am a big fan of the books and was very pleased with how well they transferred into the movie.

So I took the chance to do my hair, makeup and dress up nicely.

For my makeup I wore loreal lumi true match foundation, physicians formula concealer, tartes blush in exposed, nyx blush in taupe, anastasia brown kit in dark brown and loreals million lashes mascara.

For my hair I put it in a messy bun with some bobbypins on the top of my head.

And for my outfit I wore a black skater dress and knitted poncho from boohoo, plain black tights and thigh high boots from duoboots.

I am completely obsessed with ponchos this season, I think they look so chic and classy and really add something to an otherwise boring outfit and I am on the lookout for some more to add into my wardrobe.

Let me know what your favourite trend is this season and dont forget to follow for more fashion, makeup and health posts.
