DIY Glitter Wedge

As mentioned in a previous post, I decided to DIY glitter some wedges to cover up a small mark. As the shoes were beige I decided to go with a chunky gold look. I absolutely love how these turned out! I used Rubi Shoes, Ankle Strap Peep Toe Wedge

Bits & Pieces

Revlon Scented Nailpolish- Pineapple Fizz, Chi Chi - Pump It Up, Chi Chi - Your Disco Needs You 
 I was a bit dissapointed with the Revlon colour, it is more of a gloss and required many coats, but it smells divine! The Chi Chi 'Pump It Up' colour is amaaazing. And some matching lipsticks...

INNOXIA - Pink Carnation, Pink Peony

Love & Toast Handcreme - Sugar Grapefruit



This handcreme is amaaaazing, and the packing is absolutely adorable. It smells delightful

Innoxa Lipsticks - $14.95 each, available here
Prices vary for Revlon Scented Polish and Chi Chi Nail Polish

The Ankle Strap Sandal

These are everywhere! I've never been much of a fan of heels without platforms, I'm sure you've seen this becoming a huge trend and quite honestly they have grown on me. So head on over to good old wholesale-dress.net for a platform version. I bought quite a few things; a cardi, necklace, dress (no, a top) and these sandals. I ordered them in a yellow/orange colour but got them in white. But I am very happy with the colour now, these are so cute!

Available here, $12.32
or Blue here


But the straps are so weird!

New Shoes

Sorry for the lack of posting! Uni and work have me very busy!

For all you Aussies,  I'm sure you love DFO just as much as me. I decided to pop into Rubi Shoes just for a quick look and the Faulties table caught my eye... I picked up these boots and amazingly they were $5 !! So I decided to have another look and got some beige wedges for $5 too, and the only ones in my size, a sign?? I think so! A buckle had fallen off the boots and the wedges had a pink highlighter mark... easily fixed. A bit of glue and maybe some DIY glitter in the near future...

So trust me do not avoid the faulties table they can be your new best friend!

Then... I saw Tony Bianco, and convinced myself it was okay to look because I needed some new birthday shoes! 25% off storwide... I was in there for over an hour! Finally I decided on these gorgeous boots and my birthday heels ( You'll have to wait and see! )

Chic vs. Cheap

The Dolce Vita Jemma boot, oh how I have longed for you! I've been watching these like a hawk waiting for the price to drop ever so slightly... Solestruck has a huge range of colours, and I spotted them on Karmaloop but they sold out! I know that I am a bit delayed with jumping on these as they've been plastered all over fashion blogs for some time now (This makes me want them more!)
I know these are pretty pricey but I think they are a great investment!

Style Panel - What Should I Wear?

In a recent post, I introduced you to the amazing Aussie site; What Should I Wear? Created by Delia Timms. Well I was delighted when I was invited to be included in the March Style Panel. If you don't already know, this site allows you to upload a photo and get feedback from the lovely community and a selection of 'Style Panelists'.

This month I will be joining a bunch of other fantastic style and fashion enthusiasts, and offering feedback on outfits and possible purchases or even outfit choices.

There is an app which is super too, you should check it out!

Check out the site, What Should I Wear?

Wholesale-dress.net Haul/Review Video

I've done a bit of hunting on the internet and I could only find negative or 'so-so' reviews on wholesale-dress.net, as I've had a really good experience with this site I thought I would post a haul/review and some tips for all of those still unsure on whether or not to try anything from this company. I thought it would be a good idea to show what I have purchased rather than just talk the whole video :)

Sorry for the terrible sound quality and lighting... and the overuse of the word cute...

Be careful with out of stock items as they will not refund your purchase, but give you a 'store credit' which is annoying. BOO!
Sorry if items mentioned are out of stock. After editing I checked back on the site and they had recently changed their layout, however it is much easier to navigate through!
I'm very busy with school but I will post some pics here of the image on the website and the item I recieved hopefully by the end of the week :)

Check it out here
Enjoy some snapshots :)
