Holiday outfits Vol. 2 - Looking for sea shells

The weather in Australia is like a dream! For all three weeks I spent there it was warm and sunny. The temperature was around 27 degrees, which is not super hot but as we were on the tropic of capricorn it got quite humid during the day. We spent most of our 'beach time' in a small coastal town called Yeppoon. It was a short drive from Rockhampton - about 25 minutes. The beach was super clean, no seaweed or rocks on the shore, beautiful blue water and the view was amazing! I just couldn't resist looking for sea shells! I am wearing a white 'Batwing Short Sleeve Cat Print T-Shirt' from Sheinside and shorts from Forever 21. I love this T-Shirt, the cat print is so cute and it reminds me a bit of an anime theme. This T-Shirt is perfect for weather like this - it is loose, and the material is breathable and thin. My sunglasses are by Patrick Cox.  

My Little Box by Diane von Furstenberg

Last month, My Little Box launched in the UK - it is a Parisienne themed boxed including beauty, fashion and lifestyle products. I fell in love with this box immediately and since then I have been waiting to see what the October box would bring. I love the look, it is super girly and this box will definitely be used!   The box included: ‘Be the woman you want to be’ A5 card ‘A kiss from Diane’ lips brooch Diane von Furstenberg for My Little Box leopard print scarf Keratase Laque Noir Hairspray (75ml Travel Size) LL’OCCITANE Vanilla Bouquet hand cream (10ml Sample Size) My Little Beauty Micellar Water (150ml Full Size) I am not a very big brooch fan myself but I will definitely find a place for it, as it is a truly beautiful piece to have. Also the quality, colour and the size is amazing so I'm sure I could pin it onto my bag or something. The second item is a specially designed My Little Box DVF Print Scarf . I am really happy with

Sydney at night and Brisbane

We spent just one full day in Sydney but I think I got to know it quite well - it is really easy to get around! We walked around a lot that day without getting lost. I've already uploaded a few pictures of Sydney in the daytime, so I thought I would put up a couple more to show you how beautiful this city is at night. The view was so nice and romantic - all the lights were on and little boats were sailing on the harbour. I had such a good time there and I brought back so many lovely memories!   Late night ice cream Our dinner - BLT burger and steak sandwich The next morning we had another short flight north. We spent 2 full days in Brisbane staying with Tristan's friends. Brisbane was quite different from Sydney, even though it is the capital and the most populate city in Queensland, it was quiet and not very busy. We walked along the Brisbane river and visited the museum and art gallery. I am sure there is still so much more to

Glossybox Pop Art Edition

This month's Glossybox is undoubtedly eye catching. It is full of colour and this limited edition box is emblazoned with a pop-art style cartoon image. Here are the 6 products that were inside.  I am going to start with the Mask Crème Fraiche de Beauté from cult French brand NUXE . Full size 50 ml, £19.50 This intensive moisturisation treatment provides instant relief for even the driest skin and leaves you looking and feeling radiant. Perfect for protecting your skin against the cold outside and the drying out effects of central heating. It can be applied once or twice a week (or every day if you suffer from particularly dry skin). Recommended to leave on the face for 10 minutes, removing any excess.

I am very excited to try this as I have never used a lip peel before. It will also come in h
