Cute cardigans (and other luscious knitwear) for Autumn

I’m a bit confused about what’s going on with the weather at the moment – one minute it’s chilly and gloomy and the next thing I know, the sun is blazing! I have the perfect solution – slouchy, preppy knitwear that you can slip in and out of as the weather changes. Here are some of my picks for the season…
Nicola Knitted Cardigan - $50 from boohoo.co.nz

This oversized cardigan is ideal for snuggling up in over the cold winter months as well, and will look amazing paired with skinny jeans and ballet flats. Be on trend with this cardi in navy or wine, or go neutral with cream, stone or black. View Post

Top 10: Handbags

If I could pick the one accessory I love most, it would have to be handbags. I was super excited this week when nzgirl asked me to compile my ten hottest handbag picks!

Whether you go for a bargain buy or splash out on a luxe bag, the style of your bag can really up the ante on any outfit. The other great thing about handbags? They’re a one size fits all kind of deal – a good handbag won’t judge you for eating a muffin for morning tea the way some form fitting dresses will!

So, after much drooling over bags over the last few days, here are my top ten (in no particular order):

Deadly Ponies’ Mr Molten is one of my two most lusted over bags at the moment.  I don’t think I even need to explain why. Please, just give me a moment while I stroke it… View Post

WIWT: Black and navy

In a nod to Yves Saint Laurent, I’m pairing black and navy today. This is one of my favourite colour combinations, and is perfect for any season or occasion – including a lunchtime stroll around Cornwall Park. View Post

30 x 30 (Some resolutions for the New Year)

I’ve recently been made aware that 30 isn’t that far away for me – 18 months, in fact.  In light of this, and the impending new year, I thought that this is a great time to sit down and think about what I’d like from my future. Time for some goal setting.

I made a New Years Resolution two years ago to quit smoking, and am proud to say that as of 1st January 2013, I will have been smokefree for TWO WHOLE YEARS! That’s a pretty big deal, and not really something I thought I could achieve. So, now that I know that I have fierce determination and am extremely stubborn, it’s time to set myself some more goals.

I was inspired by Hannah at Dressed In Pixie Dust to create my own version of her 25 by 25 list (obviously doing a 30 by 30 because I have a couple of years on her …). I thought I’d share a few of them with you, both to encourage you to try something similar and because writing this down and sharing it makes me feel accountable! View Post

How to get tousled beach hair (without going to the beach)

I love the way my hair looks after a day at the beach, all tousled and wavy and gorgeous, but I don’t like the way it feels.  To get tousled beach babe hair without stepping foot in the surf, follow these easy steps to surfer chic.

1. Work a curl enhancing product like PPS Beach Styler through dry hair to ensure that your style will hold.

2. Part your hair down the centre, and braid into two plaits (one on either side of your head) and secure with a small hair tie.

3. Twist one braid away from your face and twist a straightening iron on to the hair in the same direction your braid is twisted. Repeat this all the way down the braid, but make sure you don’t do this over the hair tie or you will get a weird crease at the bottom of your hair. Do this on both braids, and then repeat.

4. Once your hair has cooled, remove the hair ties and finger comb the braid out. You should now have gorgeous tousled hair!  You can either leave it down or style it up.
