    A little bit of luxury: Soleil Tan de Chanel

    I’m not going to lie, I’ve been googling the heck out of this product for months now just out of sheer admiration and intrigue and as of three days ago,I can finally call it mine. At first I couldn’t quite work out exactly what this gigantic pot of shimmering brown luxury was all about.  Is it a base? A primer? A bronzer? Turns out it’s all of these things rolled in to one. Multitasking and Chanel? Don’t mind if I do… I’ve been wearing this over my make up for the past few days and I’m pretty impressed with its performance. I may be slightly brainwashed into thinking it’s amazing…

    Pretty Polly Stars + Stripes Tights

    Just in time for the Olympics, Pretty Polly have teamed up with Henry Holland once again to create a series of seriously cool flag tights I’m wearing the Stars and Stripes American flag design and as you can see, these tights are beyond kooky and not for the faint of heart. I won these in a twitter competition held by Pretty Polly a few days ago and road tested them (in the safety of my house) tonight. I was pleasantly surprised by how strong these tights are and I can’t see them getting any pesky ladders anytime soon, which is always a welcome bonus. They’re pretty opaque too, so I almost felt like…

    Fabulously False: Real Life Petites by Broadway Nails

    I have a sordid secret. My nails are terrible. They’re weak, flakey and according to my mum I’ve been gnawing away at them since I grew teeth. I’ve successfully grown them to an acceptable length only twice this year but after watching too many elimination episodes of Masterchef Australia lately (it’s tense), I’ve successfully annihilated them yet again. Here’s wear false nails come to the rescue. I wish I could rock really funky, longer talons but the sheer length of them frustrates me enough to rip them off in an undignified manner on public transport. Ouch. So, to spare my fellow commuters and allow myself to undertake normal daily tasks, I opt…

    Vanilla Body Mist by The Body Shop

    In my teenage years, Vanilla was my fragrance of choice.  I remember how delighted I was when my mum bought me Vanilla Dream aerosol body spray by Aussie brand Australis when I was 13. In hindsight, this stuff smelled beyond revolting but it started the ball rolling for my love affair with all things sweet. In my early twenties I moved on to the somewhat more refined Vanilla Perfume Oil by The Body Shop and the little glass bottle remained a handbag staple for a long time. Fast forward a few years and here I am, on the other side of the world browsing The Body Shop shelves on my…
