FASHION FRIDAY // OTRA x Melbourne Accessories

About a week ago, I went to the One Direction On The Road Again concert and it was a fantastic night! Before the concert I was with a wonderful friend of mine (Trulyvonne) and I took her to a beautiful spot in Adelaide and we snapped away. It's been awhile since we've done this since we've been so busy (travelling interstate and such). I really love this spot (sorry it's a secret) but I think you can have a pretty awesome view of Adelaide even though it's in the middle of the city.

So I wore a short-in-length sleeveless top that is a light denim colour with white polka dots as well as these black high-waisted shorts. Both of these items I bought from Kmart and are both really comfortable which is what I wanted to be during the concert - comfortable. The shoes I'm wearing a plain white canvas casual shoes by The Hundreds - I love these shoes because I don't own any other white shoes so I they work with so many outfits but also they look wide and have a lot of lace holes so they look different compared to other canvas shoes.

If you read my more recent posts I went to Melbourne! And Melbourne is AWESOME for shopping - I bought a tonne of clothes but these accessories I bought are my favourite purchases.

RALPH by Ralph Lauren RA5160 Sunglasses with black frames and grey to black gradient lens

If you're like me, you probably don't know what kind of sunglasses suit your face. Since Raybans are so popular, my boyfriend bought me a pair of them for Christmas one year. Although I love them, they unfortunately don't suit my face, so I went to a sunglasses store and ask them what ones suited my face and they told me these Ralph Lauren ones would. As soon as I put them on, I was sold.

Daisy Japan Blue Planet digital watch in white

Secondly, this white digital watch. Surprisingly it was only $2.80 from a shop called Daiso where everything is $2.80. I think this watch looks so cool and suits almost every outfit out there. I like that it stands out because it's white and it doesn't look wicked cheap.

Michael Kors Selma Mini Messenger Bag in tan

Lastly, my new handbag from Michael Kors. I am a huge fan of Michael Kors things and this bag has been on my wish list since mid last year. Even though it was pretty expensive I use it daily and love the look and quality of it!

Summer

Despite it being the holidays, I have been even more lazy to upload blog posts! I kind of know the reason - I've always had a hard time uploading pictures of myself in summer clothing. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, I love my bathing suit, and I love my friends and the beach. I don't want to hide myself away from the world during Summer because honestly I shouldn't be ashamed of my body. I am not thin, and I know that, and I accept it too.

Although Summer is almost over it's the perfect time to accept your body!

Here are some pictures of me at the beach with a couple of friends

I hope you have had an incredible summer holidays filled with adventure and, most importantly, fun!

I will be putting up posts more often now that I will have more of a routine =)

Travel Makeup Kit

This Thursday I'm heading off to sweet Victoria for a little trip. I thought I would tell you what products I'm bringing to Melbourne! I'm going to be in Melbourne for 6 days, so I need to try and pack what I think I will need for those 6 days.

FACE PRODUCTS

Nars - Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab

Nude by Nature - Natural Tinted Mineral Moisturiser in Nude Beige

Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer in Medium

Maybelline - Fit Me Pressed Powder in Creamy Natural

Nars - Bronzer in Laguna

Nars - Blush in Orgasm

Benefit - Watt's Up Highlighter

Not only are these products really good, but they are also travel friendly. I've picked pressed powders for my powder, blush and bronzer because they are slim and easy to bring and pack. I think this Benefit highlighter sample is so cute and efficient! It's actually really, really small so obviously I have to bring it with me. The concealer, tinted moisturiser and foundation are my number 1 products and I couldn't bear to part with them for 6 days.

EYE PRODUCTS

Lorac Pro - Palette

Nude by Nature - Behind The Scenes Eye Primer

Maybelline - Master Precise Liner in Blackest Black

UBU - Wicked Winks Eyelash Curler

Maybelline - Volum' Express The Mega Plush Waterproof Mascara 

Maybelline - Volum' Express The Colossal Waterproof Mascara

So I recently got the Lorac Pro Palette, and I love it so much! It has a huge selection of matte colours which I think I'll be using the most while in Melbourne. The matte colours are great for filling in eyebrows so that's why I chose this palette. I'm bringing two mascaras as the Mega Plush (despite it's name) isn't very volumising or lengthening but makes the lashes look really natural while keeping them curled. The Colossal mascara is a lot more dramatic. 

LIP PRODUCTS

Revlon - Colorstay Moisture Stain in London Posh

Australis - Velourlips Matte Lip Cream in Noo'd Fighters

I'm bringing two nude shades to my trip because I find them the easiest to wear and maintain. I recently bought this Velourlips lip cream and I'm obsessed! The colour is so nice, and the combination of matte and a bit of shimmer is something different.

LIP PRODUCTS

Real Techniques  - Expert Face Brush

Real Techniques  - Contour Brush

e.l.f.  - Flawless Concealer Brush
