Faithfull The Brand Roman Dress

faithfull_romandress3

Even though the weather is starting to heat up and I probably shouldn’t be investing in long sleeved pieces, I can’t help but really want to buy this Faithfull The Brand Roman Dress. I could of course keep it aside for cooler evenings, that tend to take us by surprise here in Sydney. Or just put it aside for autumn next year (if I really have to).

LIFEWithBIRD Abstraction Collection

 LIFEWithBIRD  LIFEWithBIRD LIFEWithBIRD

This summer LIFEwithBIRD have released another irresistible collection. A range of feminine, whimsical pieces. It certainly lives up to the brands well-earned high standards. Titled Abstraction, the looks are inspired by the Italian lifestyle, which revolves around a kind of elegant hedonism.

With this in mind, the Australian womenswear brand has whipped up a collection that embodies this rules-free mindset, with bold prints, sharp silhouettes, and a minimal yet striking colour palate of black, white, and teal. The collection is absolutely beautiful…

You would have already seen the Black Mini Dress from their LBW collection, which I snapped up a little earlier this month. As for their main range, here are my current favourites so far… The Reclaim Dress . Playtime Dress and Dance With Me Dress. View the LIFEwithBIRD range and shop for yourselves here.

Maurie and Eve Apollo Dress

It’s that usual scenario, when an event takes you by surprise and looking through your closet, you do, quite literally, have nothing to wear! It’s my goal to invest in at least one amazing formal dress each season, or at least have one in mind, so that this situation never occurs. This season that dress for me is definitely the Maurie and Eve Apollo Dress. The ethereal feel, deep v and billowing cut out sleeves are just such beautiful details, and such a perfect look for any special event. Shop the look for yourself here.

Philosophy Microdelivery Peel

Philosophy Microdelivery Peel

One beauty routine I am totally obsessed with at the moment is my Philosophy Micro Delivery Peel In Home Kit. The kit is a two-step in-home peel that dramatically rejuvenates the appearance of sun-damaged, hyper pigmented and ageing skin. The peel helps to resurface and replenish the skin with peptides and vitamin C, so skin feel significantly smoother and appears positively radiant. It’s super simple to use and the results are instant.

Simply apply the first layer which is the Vitamin C Peptide Crystals (basically a super scrub), and gently massage into the skin for 60 seconds. Secondly apply the Lactic Salicylic Acid on top of the crystals. As you do this a warming sensation will occur and the crystals will start to foam up. Leave on for just a few minutes then rinse off.

I’ve replaced my regular scrub with this weekly treatment because it is so much more effective. There’s just one thing to keep in mind when using this. You shouldn’t go out in the sun straight after as your skin will be more sensitive to sunburn. For this reason I usually apply mine on a Monday night so my skin has completely heeled before I want to head to the beach on the weekend. I also wear sunscreen every day… To try this at home Philosophy Microdelivery Peel for yourself click here.
