I’m obsessed with the creative ways in which people store shoes, largely because I’m trying to find a way that works for me. I adore bookshelves-for-shoes, and if space wasn’t an issue for me I’d be all over it. Right now I’m working on a solution that’s a bit more practical for me, but still allows me to keep my favourites on display. Click ‘More’ for more of what’s fueling my shoe storage obsession…
Lonely Hearts Club dress | COOP leather jacket | Moochi mary janes | Rebecca Minkoff Yacht Club Mini MAC Bag (sold out, shop similar here)
This girly Lonely Hearts Club dress I found for around $100 in the New Zealand Designer Garage Sale (one of my better sale buys!). The straps were a bit too long (and unfortunately not adjustable), but after having them shortened they fit just right. It is very feminine, which is why I’ve toughened it up with a leather jacket. This particular jacket from COOP is incredibly versatile.. I can’t imagine what I would have done before it. : )
Highlights 13/05/12: Style Tread, New Hair, and Making Your Instagrams Pop
This week was pretty low key in comparison to the last few weeks I’ve had. In retrospect, it was a much needed breather. I have taken notice of the fact that my dissertation is due in a little over a month. I’m well on my way, but the thought is still a little nerve-wracking! Anyhow.. check out this week’s highlights after the jump.. ♥
Earlier this week I was invited by Style Tread to attend the New Zealand launch of their online shoe store – over breakfast at none other than Mollies Boutique Hotel! So, bright and early before work on Thursday morning, I headed out wearing a COOP skirt and leather jacket to a very fabulous breakfast thanks to a combination of miniature breakfast treats and gorgeous shoe displays!
SAX Cosmetics are an Australian company with an awesome range of products at a very reasonable price point (between NZ$10 – $20). I was recently sent a number of products from the range to try out, including lip gloss, lipstick, blusher, and liquid eyeliner. I found each product to be of great quality, and gave good results. I was especially pleased to find that the products included nurturing ingredients such as Jojoba and Primrose oil, Aloe Leave Extract, and Vitamin E for added repairing, moisturising, and anti-ageing benefits.
Lip Gloss in Cherry NZ$14.90 | Rich Lip Colour Lipstick in Sheer Nude NZ$16.90 | Liquid Eyeliner NZ$16.95
Complexion Blusher in Coy NZ$19.90 | Eye Luxe Eyeshadow Quintette in Love at First Sight NZ$19.90
My favourite were the lipstick, and the complexion blusher. The lipstick was so easy to apply, with a super creamy formula. The whole range of lipsticks contains Evening Primrose oil, Jojoba oil and Viatamin E which help moisturise and keep lips soft and supple. The Complexion Blusher i’ve been using on a daily basis as I love the subtle pop of pink it adds to my cheeks. I brush it on softly and let the colour build up to a level that suits. The compact itself comes with a blush brush that makes applying the stuff super-easy (useful as I don’t have a proper blush brush!).
