FULL MIDI SKIRT

I'm absolutely frothing over the trend of Midi skirts at the moment. They are everywhere and i love it. There is monochrome ones, prints, shiny and sparkly, lace, striped pretty much every style you can think of and they are so full and pretty. I feel its a style i hadn't really ventured into until recently, i really wasn't sure the Midi skirt would suit me but the truth is i was going to make it part of my outfits this winter wether it did or didn't. I have seen so many amazing Midi skirts around, from Asos, Boohoo.com, Dorothy Perkins, Mod cloth, the list goes on. For a lot of women wearing a middi skirt isn't on the list of things to do but i say everyone should try it.
There are a few ways to wear a Midi skirt one thing i find is because theres so much of the leg covered i tend to wear a more revealing top for some this may be a crop top or just a singlet tucked in or a short cardi, this balances out the long length of the skirt. For ladies who are less willing to show some skin, a nice patterned top tucked into the skirt with a belt is cute, or still wear a cropped top or singlet but with a jacket or cardi over the top to make it more elegant and classy and less revealing  There is endless ways to style the gorgeous midi skirt and despite what they say these skirts are not just for leggy models, anyone can pull of this beautiful style with the right confidence and having a bit of fun with it. 

I fell in love with Country Roads latest range and couldn't resist buying the new Midi Skirt, its fabric is beautiful and the style really suited my shape and height. If you have not checked out there latest seasons range, its a must. I paired the skirt with the amazing brand Zelie For She cropped top and Laura Ashley New Range Cardigan. I also accessorised the look with an amazing pair of yellow size 11 Miss Shop heels and a yellow Mimco Clutch.

Lime crime!!



I have loved the make up brand Lime Crime for a very long time now. Not only because their make up is amazing but I also love how quirky the brand is. They also have such unique and fashion forward colours from the eyeliner, the lipgloss, the lipsticks and the eye shadows not to mention all the other unique accessories such as the z palette the brush protectors and the best brushes. 

I love thier tag line "make up for girls that are unapologetically themselves" it's so true you can do anything with lime crime make up you can go classic and simple, you can go extravagant and crazy or you can go elegant and sexy. This make up allows you to play a role everyday and to be who you are and who you want to be. Some days I feel like using emerald green lipstick and some days I feel like being sexy with a red lip and dark eyes. Like crime never let's me down. 

I am also in love with the fact that they are cruelty free and vegan. 

Lime crime started in 2008 in America and it's their 6th anniversary this year! Which is exciting and they have released new packaging for it, I have been so use to ordering the make up online for ages but now a store has come to Melbourne Australia ! Hooray 




 
 It's located in Keilor! 

Here's all my favourite make up at the moment!! 

 Eyeshadows! 

Sparkly eye glitter! 


Lip balm! 

Eyelashes!

Eye shadow Helper! 

Brushes! 

Eyeliner! 



Lipsticks!!


Brush protectors! 


Z palette! Which allows you to take your favourite eye shadow palettes and put them in one palette storage space. 

All the make up is wearable for day and night and stays on for ages. The eyeshadows are unreal and I can't not speak highly enough of the eyeshadow helper, it allows the eye shadow to stay on longer and it also brings the eyeshadow colour out more. I also wear their lipsticks everyday and they stay on and the colour is lasting. Just an amazing brand of make up all round!

What a weekend!

This weekend has truly been amazing! Firstly I would like to start of saying how amazing all women are! I'm so
Inspired right now by all the beautiful women in this world and how no matter what size we are we all have amazing attributes! I'm feeling the love. I've learn so many things about myself and about women in one weekend it's incredible. 

So as you may know I attended the Queen Of Curves- love your curves styling day at the westfield suite in Doncaster with the amazing Erica, her side kicks and the amazing group of women that attended. I went with my mum and suprised her with a ticket for a day out, I learnt many important things on this day that I had forgotten or just handnt realised before and Erica ( who is fricken amazing and beautiful) opened up so many doors and questions to all the ladies in the room that made us re evaluate our thoughts not only about ourselves but other women. 

For one it really struck me hard to think about the way women treat other women, we all should be supporting each other and helping grow this world in to a loving place. I realised that for myself I sometimes am quick to put myself down and winge about what I want and what I don't have but i forgot how there is some amazing attributes to me. We walked into the room on Saturday not really knowing any of the other women in the room and by the end of the day we all felt like friends like we had known each other for ages, we were complimenting each other and expressing how beautiful each other was and it felt so lovely and it was time out for ourselves to feel good! As women we should always unite as one and be there for each other. 

Secondly I learnt not to be afraid to be confident, I think I have always worried that having confidence might come across as being cocky but it's not, feeling good about the way you look and how you present yourself isn't a crime, every women should be able to say I'm amazing, I'm beautiful and I deserve the best for me. The amazing thing Erica said was that often we compliment others on what we see in ourselves and I have started to realise this is true. We all deserve self love at any size! 

I also discovered how important connections are, having a day out with my best friend/ mum was incredible. We hardly spend time like that together and to have a whole day to hang out was amazing and I just realised how strong our connection is and how much she means to me! 

I strongly urge anyone who's thinking of going to the Queen Of Curves events, DO IT! You will feel amazing, beautiful, fulfilled and inspired! Its a day of celebratin women celebrating your size finding out about yourself and a bit of shopping of course! I got a few items from 17 sundas and Embody Demin that are beautiful! And I was able to try different styles and experiment with things I probably would never put on. 

Also you discover what your shape is! I'm an apple and I'm proud of it!!

I Heart Burgundy.

We all go thru a stage where we are in love with a certain colour. At the moment im obsessing over Burgundy, its such a warm and rich colour for winter. I have seen so many pieces around in Burgundy colour and i have just fallen in love with them! Ive found that its easy to dress up for a night out or dress down just for a casual work day. In all the amazing mid year sales at the moment i saw this lovely crossover burgundy top from Suzanne Grae, they have many many amazing everyday pieces from size 8-18. 

Also I am also so excited at the amazing Chrissie Swan's Plus Size clothing line for Avella at Big W sizes 18-28 , i rushed in on the day that it came out and managed to find a few things that i adored, one of them being this long black biker jacket with gold zips. Its a perfect shape and i love the detailing on it. If you have not been in to see her range, its a must! Many Great things and i cant wait to see what more is to come.
