Fab find - Collared Dress

Went shopping today and randomly stumbled upon this collared dress from KMart.

It cost me a whole $10. I see that collared dresses are making a comeback and my mum keeps telling me she used to wear these dresses back in the 60s and 70s. I wish she saved all her clothes for me :( I definitely think I am living in the wrong era.

The other collared dress that I adore is one I found at Temt for $14.95. I bought this dress awhile ago but I love it because it's mustard too!

If you ever want to go shopping with me, I'm more than happy to assist. I only go for the bargains :D

Outfit of the Month - Cherry Love - March

Sorry I have been away when I wanted to post this - Please click here to check out some nice pics of where I went.

This month, I wanted to share some cherry fashion. I think cherries are cute and anyone can wear the designs. They make me happy so they should make you happy too :)

Here are some cool stuff I found:

Clothing

Found this at Attitude Oz for AU$51.95 and it reminded me of the 50s. It's simple but sweet. The website does have a lot of vintage style dresses as well as punk and alternative wear. Although, I'm not a huge punk clothing wearer, I do admire the designs and what dresses are on offer. Most sites like this one, do offer some really beautiful vintage styled dresses with funky designs.

I like this dress because it reminds me of those t-shirt dresses but with a twist with the layering. It also has a crocheted hem and comes in purple or yellow. This cost AU$34.20 from YesStyle. I am pretty confident, this ships from Asia as you will find a lot of the clothing is one size only which in reality does not fit every shaped woman in the world.

I liked this skirt because it was satin and from far looks like bubbles on a skirt. I also liked the side bow because it makes this skirt pop. Found this at Etsy store Rooby and they are all handmade skirts for women that want to relive some childlike memories through clothing. There are so many great skirts on sale and I also like the concept behind the skirts. This skirt costs approx AU$28.

I like this top as it reminds me of spring and dressy up in dainty dresses and blouses. This cost US$17.80 from Forever 21. It's great to wear with jeans and wedges or dress it up with a skirt and cardigan. It is subtle and not over the top. Forever 21 usually offers a lot of girly clothing.

Found this at Sourpuss for AU$42. Sourpuss specializes in Punk, Rock and Tattoo Clothing. Even if you are not into this clothing, there are many items that suit for different tastes. I thought this dress was still girly in that it was white based with pastel patterns. You can make it more dainty by wearing flats and a cardigan or spice it up like the picture with a good pair of pumps.

Asos never disappoints with these Sugarhill Boutique Cherry shorts. This pair of shorts cost AU$39.84 and they are versatile as you can dress them up or down. You can match it with bright colours also.

Accessories

Absolutely adore this necklace! It's cherrytastic! Perfect to match with a cherry outfit or just with a casual outfit. Found this at Birdsnest for $39.95. I don't usually see anything like this at the normal shops so wanted to include it because it's so, so cute! :D

Found this cute purse from Alenka for £15 which is approx. AU$23. I like it because it's pink and that's one of my favourite colours. I also like how the zipper is a cherry zipper too. I really like the website because it has a lot of quirky accessories and home decor and the products are vintage inspired. You can grab quite a few bargains from this website and have some really unique products.

Found these handcrafted bows from Rock-a-Hula Hair that cost £6 which is approx. AU$9.30. It says on the website they only ship to the UK but consider international shipping. I like all the handcrafted floral pieces they offer. Everything is handcrafted and for the hair. Very cute pieces for sale.

I really enjoy visiting the Ecoist website because they make fashion out of recycling goods. This does cost $19.50 but the effort into making it out of coke cans makes you think about how you wouldn't ever make it yourself. I like it because they make junk fashionable. It's Fabulous!!

Found this stretchy cherry ring from St8ment for £13.25 which is approx. AU$20. I like it because it is diamontes and stretchy which means it will fit my fat fingers. I have the issue of trying to find rings that fit. Great for some Bling Bling!!

Found this great bag from Ragz2Bagz for AU$25. All the bags are handcrafted and good quality fabric is used. There are many cherry designs to choose from and I like how the patterns are mixed on every bag. I think it's a fantastic way to have a unique handbag. Most of the designs are very cute and match easily to casual outfits.

Randomly stumbled upon Emily Finan who makes handcrafted wooden jewellery whilst also recycling products. The wooden face is handpainted. The products are dainty and she also sells artwork. This cost US$10 and you will definitely have one of kind jewellery from Emily.

Found these earrings from bowandcrossbones for £9.00 which is approx. AU$14. I like this site as it specializes in vintage and retro items. They do cater for all tastes and are reasonably priced. There is a good range of cherry accessories from this website.

Shoes

Thought these peep toe heels were just so adorable!! The costs AU$71 from Shoes.com and capture the baby doll, pinup girl look. This will go perfect with a body hugging dress or sixties inspired, vintage dress. They also come in black and Pinup Girl Clothing also sell them for US$82 with a higher platform.

Thought these gum boots were cute! They are from Office and cost £15 which is approx. AU$23. Perfect for winter or if you feel a bit zany and want to be random with a casual outfit. I see this going well with tights or jeggings. It's just for fun.

Found these wedges from Endless for $54.99. They look simple and very comfy. I love wedges because you can match them to almost anything. I like to wear them with tights, jeans or dresses.

These thong wedges / flip flops are heaps cute and perfect for the beach. They cost US$11 from Old Navy which is part of the Gap site. Not everyone will like these thongs as the pattern is on the sole, so no one will see the design until you take your foot out of it. I still like them regardless :)

Found these at both Pinup Girl Clothing and Shoes.com. Shoes sell it for AU$66 and have it in stock where as Pinup Girl Clothing sell it for $56 but are currently out of stock. I like them because they are like Mary Jane shoes. Perfect with skirts and dresses to add a bit of cuteness to it.

~~~~~~~~~~

Hope this gives you an idea of what you can look for when buying cherry fashion. There are so many ways to wear it from punk rock to dainty. I think it's great for any season and brightens up your day. I think it's perfect for everyone to try out and add a bit of fruitiness to your wardrobe.

Just received my Glossy Box

So I was really excited to receive my glossy box today! It arrived in this box:

I thought the postage stamp had ruined the box but luckily there was another box inside! Pictured below is what I received:

I was quite impressed because not only did I receive the samples but also received promo codes inside for the products. Glossybox also list the range of products they were offering that month with a brief description on what each does :) Good thing is you can recycle the box, keeping it for make-up and accessories or use it as a gift box.

Here are some close up pictures of what I received:

I am instantly in love with the kosmea hydrating rose water spray mist. It is very refreshing and leaves a light rose scent on your face. It definitely woke me up because of the addicting smell making you want more!

I would definitely recommend this to anyone and am excited to see what the new months bring :D

Good $15 spent! Visit Glossybox.com.au

Fab Finds from Jay Jays

Went to Harbour Town in Perth again... Was actually going there to buy Birthday presents when my boyfriend asked me to buy him shorts. LiLi steps in Jay Jays. 2 hours later I come out with an assortment of clothing, some of which I will share below.

Women's

Men's

Please excuse my dodgy photos and the fact that I did not iron my clothes. They do look better in real life. :D

~~~~~~~~~~

Problem: Jay Jays had a sale - 50% off the already marked down clothing.

This meant the Ladies T-shirts costs $2.50. The most I paid for the Men's T-Shirts was $6. The skirts I purchased only cost $5.

You do have to dig a little because the clothes are literally piled onto one another on tables and they are mountains of clothing. They do stock from size 6-16 for women and go from XS-XXL for Men.

Sales and LiLi mix very well. It just means LiLi spends way too much money. In total bought 8 articles of Women's Clothing, 5 Men's tops and 2 Hello Kitty Watches and it cost me all up approx $60. Thought it was a killer bargain day!

If you got the time, spend as much as you can really hunting for some clothes that you like. Currently, I like to go for patterned clothing. I should also note, that Jay Jays were selling jeans and denim shorts for like $10 but I couldn't be bothered trying them on.

Tighten Me Up

Went to work today for St Patrick's day and one of my best friends had the coolest tights. It was black with green clovers on it. This gave me the idea of fashion tights and finding some fun, feminine and fashionable tights.

Tights are great because you can turn a boring outfit into a bizarre, eccentric or interesting ensemble. There are so many online stores selling sheer tights in bright colours but for this edition, I thought about different patterns that you don't normally see.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Floral Print Microfiber Tight

These tights remind me of Asian floral prints. It comes in Fuscia, Bronze and Platinum. I found these from Foot Traffic. I adore Foot Traffic as there is quite a good range of socks, leggings and tights. These tights cost US$12. I like them because they are Hot pink and goes perfect with any black or pink outfit. You can match it to most coloured outfits just to make it more fun!

Sexy Tattoo Sheer Pantyhose

Found these amazing pantyhose from Artisan Socks for US$7.50. I liked the faintness of the stocking and having a tattooed look without getting any needlework done. I think it's great to add to a nice black dress or if you want to go more punk rocker, then that would work too. I like how it is subtle and not over the top.

Splash Color Tights

These tights remind me of a cool skater or punk chick. I love them because they are bright and in your face. This specific tight comes in so many colours and designs - it's great! Found these at We Love Colors for US$11. Good thing about this site is that you can buy in bulk or individual items.The colours also are very complimenting to one another on each tight design. Good fun!

Sparkles and Kisses Tights

Who doesn't like kisses? This pair of tights  add a little bit of cuteness to an outfit. Found these on ModCloth for $15.99. I think pattern is good as it's not overdone and perfect to spruce up an outfit. I see these tights going well under some shorts and of course dresses and skirts. Great with ballet flats.

Tiffany Quinn Geisha Print Tights

Thought that these tights were very sweet. I don't believe they are too over the top because of the softness of the colours. Found the tights at UK Tights for £6.95 which is approx. AU$10-11. I think these tights would suit best under a skirt or dress. I can't really see it going that well with shorts. There is a really large range on the website - too many to choose from!

Blue Banana Star Tights

I love stars and had to include a pair! Found these at Blue Banana for £3.50 which is approx. AU$5-6. Thought this was a good bargain!! There are a few different designs but not as many as previous listed sites. I think these are cute and fun for just a casual outfit.

Silky Aristocrat Tattoo Tights

Thought that these tights were cute, fun loving and dainty. Found these at Sock Shop for £5 which is approx. AU$7-8. They have a lot of tights on sale so can nab yourself a bargain. I think these tights are very versatile in what you wear it with.

The Red Velvet Rose Tight

I really like these tights because I think they are a bit sophisticated. They have a subtle elegance, femininity and uniqueness. I found this at Karma Loop for US$12.95. It's best if you use the search engine and type in leggings or tights to look at the range on sale.

Abstract Color Tights

I am not sure why I like these tights but I feel like I am staring into one of those 3D pictures and you need to try and find the hidden picture. They also look dainty because of the soft colours. I found these for $15 from K Bell Socks and I can't seem to stop staring at them. They have me mesmerized.

BLACK SHAMROCK TIGHTS

Found these amazing tights from Carrolls Irish Gifts - the ones my best friend wore. These costs approx US$8. Thought they were fun and bright. Perfect for St Patrick's day or just for fun. This shop is not a tights store but specializes in Irish gifts. So there isn't a range of fashion products but novelty gifts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Be creative! There are so many patterns and designs that you can play with and give you ideas on how to dress up some of your outfits!

The tights I listed are not over expensive and they all ship to Australia and the US. Some sites did offer cheaper shipping when spending a certain amount at the store.
