A little while ago, I mentioned I had bought the Australis Cosmetics AC On Tour highlighting and contouring kit after seeing it on spesh at my local crack den Priceline. Not that you need it to be on special when it's at $16.95 full price, but a bargain is a bargain. Then I needed an appropriate brush, which I managed to pick up...

Welcome to the first (full) Throwback Thursday post of 2015! You know, it took me a long long time to work out that high-necked items were no friend of mine. Yay for my ugly top! Look at this top. LOOK AT IT. From Target circa 2002, in a selection of blues with a roll neck and  tight knit fabric. Paired with black bootcut...

I love a style challenge, even if they re-affirm the fact I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WEAR EVER. When I saw this one by Style and Shenanigans pop up on Instagram, I thought it looked pretty do-able but it was a lot harder than I thought. Sounds easy right? Monday: Shades of Grey I used to have loads of grey in my wardrobe,...

Let me begin by saying I have been getting my hair done by Mikala at Ma Petite Salon for years. Mikala operates out of her own home, which is conveniently located 5 minutes away from my mother-in-law and allows me to drop the toddler off while I get my hair did.
