June Favourites

1. Oversized roll neck chunky jumpers. I recently bought a black one from ASOS here RRP$76.52. There is a sale on it at the moment and I snatched mine for $25.51 :)

2. Print leggins. My ones are a tooth pattern and I absolutely love them because you can’t beat black and white in terms of practicality and style. This is where you can get some – ASOS Petite range RRP$29.83

3. Print necklaces are great with simple black and go well with jumpers and skivvies. Love this design in particular. Get it here (Diana Warner) RRP$98

4. Burberry Brut perfume. If you’re travelling get it duty free. You can also get it on Strawberry.net RRP$76.50 This perfume has a light, fruity and fresh scent but is also quite sophisticated.

5. Antipodes day cream with vanilla bean and the most natural organic ingredients you can find. Its from NZ :) RRP$52 You can order online here.  Beautiful!

6. Soft fabric boots. Very comfortable and suit all outfits. Most importantly they keep you warm. Pick these babies up at…Kmart! And guess how much they cost $15!!! You can’t go past that!

Have you got other bargain things you’ve picked up in the most unexpected places? Kmart boots were my surprise buy and I absolutely love them!

Happy shopping!

Kiwano Melon – the fashion behind yellow

Once grown only in New Zealand, Melissa’s Kiwano Melons are now grown in California as well. Consumers are drawn to these intriguing, yet versatile tropical fruits whose look easily captures attention. The spiky, orange colored shells of Kiwano Melons encase a soft, succulent bright green flesh. Kiwano Melons are mild in flavor and similar in taste to juicy, seed-filled cucumbers. Once peeled, Kiwano Melons can be tossed in fresh fruit salads or served as a garnish with roasted meats. Source

How great is this fruit?

And now the inspiration behind the Kiwano Melon ( I would like to try it as I like cucumbers :) ) in the fashion department:

June Shopping List – Heels, Hair stuff and Hot Water Bottles

Through my endeavours, I have collated a wish list for the month of June – these are my shopping finds. Some tested, some not yet, but if I do will definitely post about it.

Here are the picks, in no particular order, judged only by appeal and an awesomeness factor be it via reviews, trials or just plain eye candy.

1. Zara Perspex Heels. I found these on a blog called A Thousand Departed  Friends

TwiceTheBlog also posted about these shoes – recent purchases!

I haven’t succeeded in getting these in ZARA store in Sydney, but found some online shops that sell similar shoes here:

ASOS RRP$110.50

Donna Karan Perspex wedge sandals RRP$570

New Look Perspex Heel Platforms RRP £44.99

If I succeed in buying a pair of any of these shoes, I’ll be very happy :)

2. Hair Product : Cedel Blow Dry Faster Heat Protector

I tried a sample of this product the other day and it’s made my ‘can’t live without list’ straight away. The label says that your hair drying time is reduced dramatically with this spray on deodorant looking bottle. It certainly has worked for me. I have long, thick hair and sometimes I confess, I go to the hairdressers just so I don’t have to wash my own hair as the drying takes forever. With this product I am happy to do it myself – no excuses! It’s a 2 in 1 so it also protects your hair from heat.

Cedel Blow Dry Faster Heat Pr0tector RRP$9.99

3. More hair stuff … I was intrigued by this product: Redken Powder Grip. This is a mattifying hair powder that helps create volume and gives hair extra grip to create various hair styles. I would like to try it and see if it really helps create more hair styles. I struggle to come up with alternatives to just out vs pony tail, maybe this will help.

Redken Powder Grip RRP$20.95

4. TonyMoly Lipglosses

These are just too adorable to not have in your purse. TonyMoly is a Korean cosmetics brand – check out their website here.

So far I’ve only seen these being sold at Morning Glory shops in Sydney ( BLOG post here), but I’m sure this brand will start popping up more and more.

5. Hot water bottle cover

It’s cold, today was probably one of the coldest days EVER! Rain and wind and app temperature of 3 degrees…Sheesh!

So I need one of these..just by looking at them, I start to feel warm….ahhh!

Hot water bottle cover from Dotcomgiftshop RRP$20.32

Heart Hot Water Bottle Cover RRP$20.32

6. Clio party arms – $9.94 at Big W.Unfortunately I can’t find a link any more as this offer is no longer on their catalogue, but I will try and pop into a store to find one of these. These are handy as I dance and also do pilates. Now that it’s cold also in the studio, I won’t have to wear a jumper and then take it off half way through class. These are great!

That’s it for now. I’ll stick to this list for June.

Do you have any awesome shopping items you’ve got on your list?
