Step into spring beauty.



The weather is warming, the sun is rising earlier and setting later, flowers are in bloom and the world seems rather cheery. It can only mean one time of the year: spring. Everyone is shaking off the winter's chills and heading back outdoors to enjoy everything the world has to offer. It's the time of the year when fashion is at its most colourful which means the beauty is usually quite simple and effortless. I have compiled my everyday go-to make up products which will see me through the spring and into summer. They are your everyday basics with the inclusions of a pretty-in-pink blush and lipstick to keep the look fresh and rosy.
 On a side note, I can't rave enough about the Chi Chi BB Cream - it's brilliant! I have annoying combination skin and this cream smoothes out all of the uneven skin tones and redness to create a flawless looking base. And the best part is that it's just a moisturiser so it's light and doesn't require a ton of foundation over the top. Oh and it's SPF 30, so it's basically moisturiser, foundation and sunscreen in one tube! Brilliant!

What are your go to makeup products for spring?

Lady White.

 Wearing white on white is one of the most daring statements you can make when it comes to fashion. All white exudes class and confidence in both that you look like a millionaire and in that you're self-assured you won't be spilling anything on your luxurious threads! To make the transition from winter to spring try a white on white with a skirt and top. Play with proportions and textures on top like knitted jumpers and sheer blouses for a fresh and contemporary look.

Pistachio.







Dress: Witchery
Shoes: ASOS (similar)
Clutch: Sportsgirl (similar)
Watch: Michael Kors

If I had to thank my pale skin for something it would be for allowing me to wear this beautiful creamy pistachio colour! When I buy clothes the poor things have usually been sitting in a 'saved items' basket or 'wishlist' for months. But not this dress. It was an impulse, spur of the moment buy that I won't be regretting any time soon. It's just the modest length I like so it can be dressed up with heels for dinner and drinks or worn with sandals to work on a hot summers day. The colour of it is just so happy that it would be impossible to have a bad day wearing it!

Sapphire.







Top: ASOS
Skirt: Keepsake the Label (similar)
Shoes: Wittner
Sunglasses: LeSpecs
Watch: Michael Kors

I was on the hunt for an edgy yet office appropriate top to match my black asymmetric skirt for a work experience week at my favourite fashion magazine in Sydney. My first point of search nearly always starts, and usually ends with, ASOS. Never one to disappoint me I knew there must be something on there that would fit the bill of what I was looking for. This top immediately caught my eye with it's leather look sleeves, beading and ornate embroidered front. It was just the right length to match my skirt and I was very happy with the result. Just teamed it with simple accessories and black shades for lunch in Hyde Park.
