Shopping Envy

So, we have yet ANOTHER reason to envy our American friends - not only do they get cheap cosmetics and awesome clothing stores, now they get amazing Target collaborations with high end designers. Last year saw a collaboration with Liberty of London... this year - Missoni! Check out this gorgeousness:

Sourse: inStyle

So so so jealous! A Missoni for Target collaboration would be the only way I'd ever be able to own anything remotely resembling a Missoni product. Its one of my most lusted after high end designer "wants". Love the bold use of colour, print and stripes... and chevron stripes - my fave!

Not Pants

Ok, ready for my fashion gripe of the day? Leggings are not pants people, NOT pants. Uggh. I dislike this 'look' immensely. A number of girls at my local shopping haunt can often be seen sporting this look, and no, not in a sporty/gym sense which is totally fine. They wear them like they would wear jeans. Oh, and don't even get me started on jeggings... Leggings are not pants, they are designed to wear underneath things, i.e. tunics, shift dresses, long t-shirts.

This is how I would style leggings for work wear and for casual:

Is everyone else super excited about Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby news?!! I can't wait to see her pregnancy fashion sense and how she transitions into motherhood. I love a good pregnancy announcement, especially in the celeb world.

Lip Service: Cotton Candy

I love lip gloss, lip balm, lip stick. I have too many of the aforementioned items than necessary. You will never find me without one of these three items within arms reach. So, of course, I decided it appropriate to start a regular lip product post where I discuss my favourites.

I bought a tube of Cotton Candy LipSmacker last week... It reminds me of Grade 8 and swooning after hot surfer boys in Grade 12.

It smells so sweet, goes on smoothly, and leaves my lips so soft and mositurised for hours on end!

Keep Calm

Two posts in one day! I know! Crazy. But loved this so much, I had to share...

Dreaming of: a white country style kitchen

I am currently dreaming of a new kitchen... white cupboards, timber accents, island bench, glass cabinets to show off my pretty glassware.

Things I Love: Risotto

I love a good risotto... The constant stirring is quite soothing to the soul. Sometimes I get lazy and do the risotto in the oven. While still tasty, it doesn't have that gooey creaminess that a stove top stirred risotto has.
