cream & brown


top & skirt - supre, bangles, necklace & ring - diva, heels - williams

One of my favourite colour combinations is cream & brown/tan/chocolate I really love how they blend together so well and I also think they suit my complexion and dark hair. I must say that I do seek these colours out when shopping and find that Witchery always have them in stock.

Tonight is late night shopping and I plan on visiting Sportsgirl to use a voucher I received from my friend for my birthday I have a few things in mind I just need to try them on!

I hope you all have beautiful Thursday's and make some fun plans for the weekend.

TGIF

dress - supre, heels - Williams, bracelet - south bank markets, necklace - Tiffany & co, bag - mimco

Thank Goodness It's Friday!! I have had the most hectic week at work I am 'acting' in a higher duties role at the moment and while I love the challenge it has been super busy. We always have a casual Friday at work and while I never know what to wear... I decided on this little dress and made it more work appropriate by adding heels and some cute accessories.

What is your take on casual days at the office? I would love some help!!!

These pictures are taken on our front porch of our new home, speaking of our new home I have finally started to settle in and make my own little routine of coming home and starting dinner doing a little house work, i love being a house wife.

chop chop


I have just had my long hair cut off into a shoulder length style...crazy I know however there are reasons for the drastic change. At the beginning of the year I was over my long dark straight hair so I decided to go a very light brown/dark blond I liked it for about 3 months then went back to dark hair again, after about a couple of months of dark hair I went back to my hairdresser and told him I wanted a perm!!! Well not a perm perm like 80's style more of a body wave... I was told buy all of my friends and family and hairdresser this was not a great idea but decided to go ahead with it anyways, needless to say I totally wrecked my hair it was so dry and course I tried to treat it and even had a few professional treatments in the salon but nothing was going to fix it so I had to decide of I would rather have short nice healthy hair or long dry gross hair... I chose the short option.

I have never had hair this length since I was a little girl so it has taken some getting use to.

I am now in the process of growing my hair again and want to keep it as healthy as possible. I am going to keep up my salon treatments and have brought a daily moisturizer, fingers crossed it grows quickly!

chia power




My Aunty recently told me about Chia seeds, they are like a little tiny natural vitamin. After talking to my aunt for about an hour about these little seeds I decided I needed them as well and turns out I did! My husband and I have been on them for about 1 month now and they are fantastic, you need to try them for yourself to see the benefits. We have been having the best sleeps, glowing skin and an overall feeling of wellness.

We all need a little chia in out lives. You can get them from health food store for around $10 for a months supply well worth it.

I would love to hear from you if you are already taking these little gems or try them after reading this!
