Winter Look




Seeing as its winter in Australia I thought it was very appropriate to do a winter look for you guys! So me and my friend Zoe (Check out her blog 'here') decided to do a little photo shoot :))

This outfit consist of my very loved black and white turtle neck from mink pink, my dark denim overalls from H&M, and to top it off with my classic black doc martens. You can already tell by the description of the outfit that its going to be very warm and comfortable. Two essentials every outfit needs during the cold winter. These three clothing items constantly seem to be in trend and I can totally understand why.

Turtle neck 
This mink pink turtle neck is one of my winter essentials. It is definitely as comfy as it looks and provides the right amount of warmth. The neutral colours and simple design make it easy to pair in any outfit and it can be used casually or formally. I absolutely love turtle necks (especially this one in particular) and highly recommend them to anyone!

Overalls 
These H&M overalls are definitely something I have been obsessing over lately. I just love how you can throw them on and they manage to jazz up any outfit. They are extremely comfortable and very warm as you can probably tell. I love these denim overalls in particular because of the slight rips, giving off a trendy carless look. The good thing about overalls is that you can get short style ones for summer there for you can wear overalls all year round. If you do not own a pair I definitely recommend them and to find a style that suits you!

Doc Martens
Finally, but most certainly not least, to complete this outfit are my doc martens. In the style black, these shoes are easy to pair with any outfit. As they are boots, they are very comfortable and the leather protects your feet from the cold air. I do have a post coming next week thats going more in depth about these shoes so be sure to check that out if your interested!

Hope you are all well and enjoyed reading this post. I put a lot of effort into this post and it would mean a lot if you commented. Also if you have any post suggestions please let me know!

Love, Izzy

Crompton


Hey Guys! I just wanted to share this amazing cafe I visited a few weeks ago named Crompton.

 I was exploring the beautiful city of Melbourne and ran into this groovy place the appearance intriguing me. After convincing my family to eat there, we entered the interesting place, a positive vibe coming off immediately. Everything from the decor to the lively music made me already love this place and I hadn't even tried the food yet. Although this wasn't just your average cafe; It was a sandwich cafe. All these amazing toppings piled on top of crusty wholegrain bread resulted in the perfect lunch. It took me a while to pick what I wanted because everything seemed very appealing. In the end I decided to go for the hummus with cucumber and chilli flakes which was extremely scrumptious! This unique cafe has inspiered me to try an recreate there food which is delicious and very healthy!

Thanks heaps for reading, you should comment as well because I love to here from you guys. Also I have an exciting post this sunday so stay tuned for that. Thanks again and I hope your having a groovy day x

Love, Izzy

Current Beauty & Accesory Favourites


I guess its fair to say I have been wearing the absolute heck out of all the items above, so I thought I would share them with you all.

Sunglasses: I picked up these mink pink sunglasses last summer after seeing them through a window and falling in love with them instantly. Guess you could call it love at first sight. I have a secret love when it comes to sunglasses and these were the perfect choice to add to my collection. The frame being a lovely lilac colour and rose gold for the bridge, whats not to love. Also the lens have a slight tint of colour in them creating the illusion that your surroundings are pink. These sunnies are the perfect accessory to add a bit of colour into your outfits. These sunglasses ended up coming to $49.99 but lucky for you I managed to find them on sale for you. Click 'here' for 50% off.

Necklace: This long bubble style chain necklace presents itself elegantly in a casual form. To my opinion I believe its really up to you how you wear this incredibly unique item. It can be done so easily to dress up or down and truly seems like the perfect finishing touch to an outfit. This handcrafted necklace goes by the brand name "Little Bird Jewelry", and there are so many designs to choose from that can also be done in bracelet or earring form. Click 'here' to be taken to there website. This item ended up coming to $35.

Clinique Chubby Stick: This product would be my most used item from the photo. I absolutely adore this product from the shade to its texture. I think the main reason I love it is because its not as harsh as a lipstick but not as faint as a lip gloss. You can apply small amounts to give your lips a slight burst of colour, or you can apply coats on top of coats creating the same effect as lipstick. I love the way it feels on my lips and leaves them feeling soft and smooth. The colour of my one is super strawberry (which I love) , there are so many colours to choose from. I got lucky with this item, receiving it in a gift bag but I do believe the price to buy one is $35. Click 'here' to be taken to the website.

Eye shadow: This four piece marbel pallet produces rich colour with intense metallic pigment and is very useful in the fact you can use it wet or dry. If your somewhat like me, and aren't very skilled when it comes to applying eyeshadow, this product comes very handy. One swipe over the eyelid is all you need to shimmer up your entire face. Because this pallet is marble the four selection of colours are mixed with more colours that complement each other. Therefor you can easily select one that goes with your outfit. I do very much enjoy wearing this product and I think my eyelids do to haha. That is why I'm very glad it fell into my hands at the mouth dropping price or $8.99. Click 'here' if your interested in purchasing this item.

 Clinique Mascara: Last but certainly not least my beloved Clinique mascara. I would definitely not call myself the biggest mascara person in fact if you happen to bump into me somewhere theres a high chance I won't be wearing any. But on the occasion when I am this is always the one I reach for. You may see this mascara on the shelf in a store and not reach for it because the packaging doesn't stand out. As many people will say 'don't judge a book by its cover' and this term applies very well towards this mascara. The packaging may not stand out but I believe the quality of this mascara is extremely good. Obviously as I said before I do not wear a lot of mascara therefor I do not know exactly what consist of a good mascara. But when I apply this mascara it goes on easily and doesn't separate my eye lashes so there are spaces. I also notice it to be very long lasting and doesn't smudge easily. I have grown up using the Clinique products and know them to be good. I was also lucky with this item and received it in a gift bag, although the price to buy one is $38. Click 'here' to be taken to there mascara page (my one is the first one)

Thank you so much for reading this post! I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Just a reminder that good things come to those who comment :)

Love, Izzy

Welcome



Hello everyone and welcome to my first blog post. I wanted to start off my blog with a friendly introductory post to tell you a little bit about me and what you should expect to see on my blog. 

About me:
My name is Isabelle but you can call me Izzy. I am 16 years young and live in an amazing place named Australia. A few years back I stumbled upon some fashion and beauty related blogs and had grown a large interest in reading them and dreamt of starting one myself. As I got older and delved deeper into my teenage years, I discovered I had I strong passion for fashion. (Im aware that sounds like the bratz commercial haha). My opinion is that you can express yourself through clothing items. My style of fashion is not whats in trend but purely what makes me happy to wear, regardless of what anybody else says. Quite recently I have also grown a liking towards beauty products. Now, I definitely would not name myself as a beauty guru but I do love to experiment and have fun with make-up, (I guess we all have to start somewhere). With all of my interests and passions moulded together forms this blog before you, which I hope you enjoy!

Expectations from my blog:
I guess I have made it quite clear that this is a fashion and beauty blog therefor most of my posts will be fashion and beauty related. Although I do not want to limit myself thats why I decided to also add lifestyle into my header. Please do expect the occasional post that does not go under the lines 'fashion and beauty', weather it be a thoughts post or a recipe to something. I haven't started this blog in hopes to get millions of readers and make a lot of money. I started this blog to do something I love and hopefully bring smiles to peoples faces. Also I am completely open to any suggestions or requests from anyone.

Thank you to those who read and comment on my posts, I will be posting every sunday and sometimes during the week. I hope you all enjoy this groovy little blog.

Love, Izzy
