Summer!

I have been struggling with my Summer style. Shorts are wayyyyy to short in the stores and so are dresses! With a baby I need to bend down a lot, so that's not going to work lol. Inspired by: http://ramastarinreallife.blogspot.com.au/?m=1, I decided to give pencil skirts another go. They are a decent length at least! Sportsgirl have some great stuff at the moment and I was tempted to buy a lot more, but being on a tight budget I ended up buying this amazing bandage black skirt and cool necklace. Together were $79.95. So tempted to get more but will wait for sales :-).

On a makeup roll

I picked up the Maybelline Master Precise liquid eyeliner. I don't use liquid eyeliner so this is new for me! I don't really plan to use it to do any of the fancy things Ruby Rose has chosen to do with it lol: http://www.beautyheaven.com.au/make-up/mascara-eye-liner/5-ways-with-mny-master-precise-liquid-eyeliner-9046. It has inspired to pull out all my old makeup books though and try out some new stuff.

Smack my Lips up

I finally found a lip gloss I LOVE!  I have thought about buying a MAC pro longwear lipgloss for ages, but all the reviews I have read of them have been a bit ho hum.  But I just got sick of having to always reapply lipgloss or lipstick, with a baby I just don't have time yet still ready need the pop of colour on my face!  So I bit the bullet and bought 'infinitely likeable' and luckily I love it since it cost $42!! What an outrageous price, but I do love it and it does seem to last quite a few hours.  Here is a more in-depth review by a blogger:http://www.polarbelle.com/2011/10/mac-pro-longwear-lipglass-infinitely.html.

Baby spam!

Sorry for the previous accidental baby post - that belonged on my other blog, whoops! Things are pretty quiet in my blogger space, I am a bit blogger fatigued! Here is a shirt I bought from Valleygirl for $14.95. I am loving the casual collar look with a bodysuit underneath. Still lemming a mannequin so I can do better photos! I just read an awfully good article in the latest Grazia magazine about how it takes six months to unpack your things when you move (two months in still a couple of boxes as well as still not finished decorating). And it takes 17mths to feel like your home is your home. I think our restless feet are finally getting tired of our wandering. Perhaps the next place will be our last for a while :-).

I must resist!

I am really trying hard to slow down on my clothing shopping. My wardrobe is super full its ridiculous. So I am committed to wearing everything in wardrobe and performing a cull before buying anymore major purchases. Dotti had 30% off and I grabbed a basic t-shirt as that's one thing I don't actually have much of. I also found the perfect iron board at Kmart for $10 - heaps cheaper than Etsy!

Style notes

We are in the midst of wonder week 46 and it is not fun. G has developed severe separation anxiety! To distract from yucky bits, I have revisited her room. Because we moved into a rental I can no longer use all the personalised wall stickers I had for her room. So I picked up some personalised wall letters that spell out her name. I also picked up some a ring stacker as G is really interested in them at the moment. Little rascal is also standing up against everything!

Make Me Up

I was a lucky girl and stumbled upon a Bobbi Brown pop up store while visiting the bright lights big city.  I got the concealer kit that I so desperately wanted but was afraid to purchase online and get the wrong colour!  It was good because they had make up artists there to help you, she put corrector as well on one side and just the concealer on the other.  The corrector looked terrible!  So I just got the concealer kit that was $60.  Here are the reviews on MakeupAlley: http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=3223/Concealer_Kit/Bobbi_Brown/Concealers. It definitely does the job that I wanted to do!

Boriiinnng

Today's post is about my search for a new ironboard cover and plastic bag holder.  For real.  I would like to be about the new Forever New skirt I bought and the Princess Polly dress - but I did not buy them because I have no allowance left :-(.  So instead it is about home wear.  I have found some kitschy cool covers and holders on Etsy.  In fact if I purchase these items it will be the first purchase of Etsy that hasn't been for my Daughter, Etsy make awesome personalised baby things :-).http://www.etsy.com/shop/BarefootLake?section_id=6660055.

Bower Bird and Budgeting

I have been put on a budget.  Luckily before I was put on a budget I went into Lovisa and picked up three items in their three for two sale!  A pastel coloured necklace that I have been getting heaps of wear out of and some pretty bright studs.  I think its time to dip back into my jewellery collection and start wearing things alot more again.  I also need to buy a nice chest of drawers to stash my clothes in, I have only needed one for ages!

I also need to get on my cross trainer a lot more~! How boring!!
