Thursday Ten: 10 Winter Must Haves

Winter is one of my favourite seasons. We're quite lucky in Brisbane, our 'cold' weather is quite mild compared to most areas of the world.

Even so, I thought I would share my winter 'must haves' as the weather cools down...

1. A good lip balm

My fave has to be Lucas Pawpaw Ointment. I've been using it since I was about 16 and nothing beats it! I find many lip balms are moisturising when you put them on, but the more you use them the more you need them. Not this one!

2. A warm snuggly sweater

For those chilly days, pick one you can wear around the house that's nice and comfy but still appropriate if you need to pop out!

ASOS Aran Jumper

3. A fun mug... or 10

I may have a slight obsession with coffee mugs haha. I like picking unique ones that represent my personality.

4. A good pair of boots

I actually just bought these ones from Betts. When we were in America I fell in love with the knee high Stuart Weitzman boots, unfortunately at almost $700 they're a bit on the steep side! These ones are much more affordable but still amazing.

5. A good moisturiser

In the winter I like to switch to a thicker moisturiser, particularly for night time. I swear by Sukin skincare. I can actually read the label and I like knowing I'm not overloading my skin with unnecessary chemicals. In summer I use the more gel based moisturiser, but in winter I switch to this one...

6. Tea

I love my morning coffee, but I don't like having more than one a day where possible. Instead I prefer tea to keep me toasty! T2 has amazing flavours and a huge range!

7. A go to blazer

A blazer instantly glans up you outfit, plus... it keeps you warm! Invest in a good one and it will last you season after season.

8. Thick tights

A great way to transition your summer wardrobe to winter is a good pair of tights. Under a dress or some dressy shorts, you'll get the most of what's already in your wardrobe.

9. A good book

I become a huge bookworm in winter. To save space I've started reading on my iPad but you can't go past a good paperback.

10. An old favourite hoodie

For those days you just want to stay inside in your old fave :)

What are your winter must haves!?

Top 5: Winter Nailpolish Picks

The cooler weather is finally starting to settle in here in Australia, which has inspired a change in my nail choices.

While I am a firm believer that you can wear any colour any time of year, I will admit I do reach for these colours more in the cilly months.

For longwear and chip free, my favorite brands are OPI and L'Oreal.

So here are my top 5 picks for this winter...

1. Burgundy
You can't go past a good dark vampy polish for winter, ox blood or burgundy colours make a great alternative to harsher black.

L'Oreal Colour Riche "Femme Fatale"

2. Grey
Either dark or light! A shimmery like grey is perfect if you aren't a fan of the draker colours.

L'Oreal Colour Riche in "Because your worth it"

3. Midnight Blue

L'Oreal Colour Riche in "Midnight Mistress"

4. Dusky Pink
Super girly but still perfect for winter!

L'Oreal Colour Riche in "Rose Cashmere"

5. Glitter
Any glitter works but this rose gold OPI polish it gorgeous!

OPI "Pink Yet Lavender"

What's your favourite winter polish?

Travel Snaps: our America holiday!

After months of saving and planing, the time finally came in February this year for our much overdue holiday!

LA, Vegas, New York and San Fran all in just under 3 weeks. Here's some of my favourite snaps of the trip!

A short stop over in Auckland before our 12 hour flight to LA….

First stop, Hollywood!!

Watching our first sunset over the ocean at Santa Monica. Was spectaular to see…

Exploring Santa Monica and the Pier before dinner at Bubba Gump…

Road trip to Vegas! Driving on the opposite side of the road was definitely different! haha. After we checked in we drove down to explore 'old Vegas'...

More airports and planes to make it to the city that never sleeps, NYC! That manhattan skyline stole my heart <3

NY subway!

Central Park snow! This was the first time Roki had seen the snow, and only the second for me…

Mini Mr Snowman…

A trip to NY wouldn't be right without a visit to the 9/11 memorial…

San Fran, burning off those holiday calories with a sunset bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge…

Amazing views of the bay from Alcatraz…

We got lost on the way home and came across the Palace of Fine Art….

Back to LA just in time to see the set up for the Golden Globes!

Before starting the (long) journey back home….

I hope you enjoyed these snaps, where have you been lately?

Cute messy boho hair!!

Hi guys!

I'm so lucky to have an awesome friend who also happens to be an amazing hairdresser. This is a quick look she did for me recently for a dinner out. Super cute and non-fussy! Sometimes I just like to have my hair up off my back, this look is perfect for those days…

End of a Chapter

Hi guys!

I just wanted to share a quick post with you today. This past Wednesday was a very special day for me, after four and a half long years of study I finally graduated from Uni! It was an amazing day full of special people and lots of love and support. 

For those of you with a friend or family member at Uni, it may seem like you've been put last on the list of priorities. Try and remember, they are working towards something very special. With a lot of hard work and support from the people around them (like you!) they will make it there in the end :)

Stay smart my lovelies!! Xx
