Kmart, I love you

If you've been reading this, then I'm sure by now you must know that I have a little love for shoes... and Kmart. They mix so well together because Kmart always has fashionable and comfortable footwear, that is ridiculously cheap. 

I had to go up a size in the wedges (right) as the vamp was quite stiff and tight. Both shoes are extremely light and stable. The sandals (left) have no grip, so you need to be careful on slippery surfaces... almost found out the hard way. The wedges however have a rubber sole (lifesaver!) both neutral colours are perfect in my summer wardrobe! I actually spotted these exact sandals in another store for over $50, so winning!

Kmart Sandals - $12

Kmart Wedges - $15

What is your go to summer shoe?

Don't you love cosmetics that have cute names? I have so much fun picking up a lipstick that's called Barracuda Berry as opposed to just... purple or even a number, or in this case ATOMIC OJ! What! I actually think this is a big factor in me buying things. Sadly... consumer consumer.

Left - Right, atomic oj, a lister, triple threat

At only $2 a pop I don't feel so guilty, also they are made in Australia, so points to you! 

I also snapped up some nail stickers (Cala - $2), a thing I'll only purchase if it is on sale, no Sally Hansen I wont pay $14.95 each! These ones however, were an interesting task to accomplish. You have to cut them to size before peeling of the backing and sticking them down, which is fine... except when you try to do it to yourself. These ones were super thick, which meant they stayed on for a fair while but I had a lot of trouble trying to get them to fit my nail shape perfectly, which meant some began to peel. Luckily I did a clear topcoat, and they stayed on in Bali for a few days too! $2 not bad... but probably not a re-purchase.

The little things she needs

Yet another shoe purchase post, these look amazing on the foot and are one of the top contenders for my favourite basic shoe. These look great with cropped jeans and a plain tee, love love love

They are a little crumpled from being shoved in my suitcase along with my other purchases in Bali!

Bali Necklaces

I recently came back from Bali and I wish I had of taken some photos of the market stalls selling this jewellery, there are walls upon walls of different choices, colours and sizes. I love statement necklaces and finally decided on these three pieces that I knew I would be able to style in my everyday wardrobe back at home.

Bring on the New Year!

Do you remember when you had to go stationary shopping for school and you got super excited by everything? No? Just me? Well I loveee stationary and always find myself buying pens and books I don't really need. I adore Kikki K, everything is so cute! This time I held back and focused on the bare essentials, okay maybe I didn't need the 5 pack of pens...
Bring on the organisation!

I'm Back! With shoes - The Fisherman Sandal

I had a busy busy year, finishing my costumes, putting on a final show and graduating my course, but I'm back and ready to post! 

I got these at a warehouse sale I often work at, which in the end as it was so quiet, nothing was over $25. To begin with I hated the fisherman sandal trend, I thought it was extremely unattractive, but after seeing an open toe version and trying them on I instantly melted, they were so comfortable. I thought, these are amazing, why not! ... and now I'm super cool and on trend... haha.

On Trend - Studded Boots

For those of you who have seen my Instagram @mikaelahofman, you may have already seen these babies! Everyone has mixed feelings about these, but I love them! The pointed toe, studs and stiletto heel are super on trend, I've only had one friend who has said she actually likes them, whaaaat! 

 Inniu Tryst - $109.95 

Snapped up in a warehouse sale for $35, winning.

They are quite high with no platform, but feel sturdy enough to walk with, the heel is super thin and the sole feels rounded so makes it a little unstable. Due to the pointed toe, I had to go up a size; All in all these are reasonably comfortable for their size! As they are made from synthetic materials, you can already see some creases around the movement of the foot, but the studs act as a distraction so no big deal here! This style is amazing for short people like me, actually makes me look like I have legs
