off the chain











lola vs. harper dress, sportsgirl shoes, YSL ring

This dress felt like it was made for me. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Again a massive thank you to the ladies at Lola vs. Harper, and to those of you who want to get in to the good stuff, you're unfortunately going to have to wait until January next year, as the collection is yet to be released. But trust me - it's worth the wait. I suggest you join their Facebook page, sign up to their newsletter or shoot them an email at enquiries@lolavsharper.com.au

Trying to get myself back to positive thinking - no one likes a sad face. I have always found it hard to motivate and believe in myself, but after a few years of practice I am slowly getting better at it. So happy it's Friday, and HALLOWEEN! :)

lola vs. harper
















When you feel like the whole world is against you, little things like these really make my day. I recieved a beautifully packaged box from the girls at Lola vs. Harper yesterday and it definately put a smile on my face.

Lola vs. Harper is the brand new sister label to Shilla. Shilla is all about femininity - pretty dresses, sunshine, rainbows and tea parties. Cute. But Lola vs Harper is the complete opposite. Lola vs Harper uses simple shapes, and makes them interesting with a twist. The pieces are inspired by vintage pieces and have a rock and roll feel sitting well within the street wear market.

When I opened the box I was greeted by pieces that I knew I was going to like as soon as I picked them up. You know, you just get that feeling, there is no real thought involved. The fabrics are soft and breathable, the cuts are loose and flowy. I especially fell for a military green cross back drape dress that I will be showing you soon. It is absolutely stunning.

Lola vs. Harper is still to launch the site, so in the meantime become a fan on Facebook and sign up to their newsletter to the get 101. A big thank you to the team at Lola vs. Harper, and stay right here for the outfit post soon. xo

TFS: 5inchandup, fashiontoast, ilovewildfox, unicornhurricane, 365days and myself

Picutre rain. Trying to get inspiration and feel motivated. I am going through a bit of a phase at the moment. Trying to get my head around a lot of stuff and trying to do the right thing. I will try not to be too MIA. But I need to get a few things straight before I can blog more. I hope you lovelies understand xo

HAPPYYYYYY...?





sample dress, sportsgirl shoes and DIY jewellery


Happy Monday? Is there such a thing? Even though the weekend brought mostly down time, fabulous cocktails, good friends, a lesson in scotch and half a day of sunshine I feel exhausted. But, today I have 59 days and counting until I get to go home for Christmas. I am already planning what to pack, what I want to do, all the friends I want to see... December could honestly not come any faster. (...and I am secretly fantasizing about shopping at Zara, H&M, Weekday, ACNE, Cheap Monday, Monki etc... mwhaha!)

Thank you to all your beautiful comments as per usual, if you want to get more involved don't forget to follow me on Twitter for a bit of a laugh or join the watermeloncrush facbeook page. I am heading home shortly to probably have a long shower and curl up to Big Bang Theory tonight. How good is that show!? xo

BLACK MILK





Just fell in LOVE with these amazing pieces from a edgy little brand called Black Milk. Black Milk which was founded in 2009 by James Lillis, first began by making rad tights late at night on his kitchen table with his recently purchased sewing machines. It didn't take long until girls all over the world picked up on the ground breaking designs and bold - but sexy prints.

Black Milk tights began to sell in the thousands and it shortly became James' full time job. And still to this day, he sits up until midnight at his kitchen table - designing and sewing. Now there is some true passion, which you can see in his designs.

For summer Black Milk is releasing these almost too awesome swim/ bodysuits. I fell in love with these two. Brilliant for a night out teamed with a pair of ripped denim shorts. Rawr. Follow Black Milk with their blog Too Many Tights! or shop their online store xo

LITTLE FEATHER FOOT











vintage top, market sunnies, SUPRÉ maxi skirt, betts bag

Wiiihoo it's FRIDAY. Thank goodness for that. This week has been slightly extreme starting with four coffees almost everyday, a four AM rise and late nights. Phew. But hey, I'm alive, still keeping my eyes open and soon heading to the city for some sneaky afternoon cocktails and driveway bar table conversation.

Maxi skirts. Yay or nay? I'm not 100% convinced, but had to give it a go. And the earring is a bit of a DIY thing... and it's reaaaaaally long. Like really. Happy weekend lovers xo

WEDGES OF LOVE



black suade wedges, sportsgirl

BEAUTY ESSENTIALS



Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment, Enhance by Natural Compatible's Perfect Touch Concealers

If there are two things that I can't live without, it would have to be Pawpaw Ointment and a good and reliable concealer. I am not one to pile on the make up but I do love a fresh and bright looking face. And honestly, who feels on top of the world everyday?

So to help you get along with your day and boost your own beauty, this newly released "Perfect Touch" concealer by Enhance by Natural Compatibles is perfect. Each wand comes with a small sponge at the end so you can blend it without having to get messy. I have it in two shades - the pinkish one is to cover any dark circles around the eyes, and truly is magic. My hero on those ridiculously early mornings. Once you've applied the pink, use the lighter toned one to blend with and you end up with a very open eye- fresh faced look.

I use the Natural Compatibles range already, as you know by this previous post I did, and I absolutely love their products, for the fact that they are mineral enhanced and very natural looking. And their make-up tutorial videos are great for tips and inspirations, and a very helpful if you're not sure as to how to use the product.

The Perfect Touch Concealer is avaiable in 5 shades: Tan, Beige, Ivory, Natural and Anti-Red, for $30 each.
