Mid week OOTD

Here's is a quick OOTD post. I thought possum looked cute in this outfit, and she was full of smiles on this day, so it was the perfect opportunity to take some pictures of her. She tries to stand and hold herself up on everything now. In these pictures below she was trying to stand and get her self up on top of the ottoman. We ( hubby and I) find her energy just astounding, she's full of jelly beans.




In this she's wearing her Zara knit in size 3-6 months. Zara navy top on size 6-9 months and Target jeggings in 3-6 months. 

Osh Kosh shoes are in size 1 and headband in snow from OOGU Kids. 







 Love this girl to bits.

Rayah's Nursery Tour

Hi all, I thought I'd do a nursery post. I have a few of these pictures on my facebook for the ones who I know personally, and for the others here they are.

We knew our little munchkin was a girl at the half way mark of my pregnancy. I still remember the sonographer asking me if I wanted to know the sex of our baby, and I was like 'heck yeah'. We sort of had a clue before the scan because I would always probe our obstitician whether he could tell through his  scans and he did once say 'I'd put money on it being a girl'. I was convinced our little baba was a girl from that day, and couldn't wait to go shopping for her. The excitement and joy in finding out the sex of our baby was beyond what words could describe.

I started shopping around for her furniture around the 6 month mark, most overwhelming shopping experience ever. I kind of had a clue of the type of crib I wanted, but the most difficult part was chosing a set that came with the baby wardrobe. Most nursery sets don't, they either have the book shelf or chest of draws. I really wanted a little cupboard for her, the tiny shelves and hanger holders were just too cute. We finally ( after several days of window shopping) opted for a Boori Urbane Set. I'll let you know below what we ordered, because we did chop and change to what we liked and wanted.

The crib is the Boori Urbane Metro 3 in 1 cot in English oak, it can be used as a toddlers bed when possum grows out of it.


We got the matching wardrobe, Boori Urbane Metro Robe also in English oak.


 And to match with the above we chose the Boori Urbane Change table in English oak (not the Metro changer)

 The Jadore Paris Wall Art was from Adairs Kids, I though it was a perfect size and the right pink for her room. We knew we wanted it to be a pale pink, nothing too bright. All soft toys are presents from Grandma, aunties and friends.

I thought these Pooh Classic cushion were too adorable to pass. Picked these up from Adairs Kids, they have a good selection of baby accessories. The 'dreaming the night away' bed lined set was a present from my mum which came with the bed sheet, quilt, pillow, two sausage pillows, cot bumpers and nappy holder.

The wall feature was something I wanted from the very beginning, whether it be wall paper or to paint a feature wall. I saw something similar to this on pinterest and showed hubby, who said he could do these diamond checks and make it a great ascent to her room. So this is actually paint, he simply taped the white bits and painted over it. It did take close to half a day, and I was extremely happy with the outcome.  He also purchases these floating walls from Bunnings. The birdcage mirror was a present, which I believe can be purchased from Target.

We bought the pale pink and grey floor rig from Masters. This was a tough purchase it was difficult finding the right colour and the correct size for her room, I did want quiet a large rug, to cover most of her room. We just happened to come across this one at Masters when shopping for her light shade, which was from there as well. The Pooh laundry basket was from Toys R Us.

And lastly, this cute sign was a present from a close friend. 

Hope you enjoyed this post.

April Beauty and Fashion Favourites


I thought I would get in early with the favourites this month, unlike the previous. The month of April was the turning point for us Melbournians  from the hot summer to the chills of winter, so here are a few of my favourites that got me through. Also, let me know if you like the website links, I've added this to show you where I've bought these items, and where you can buy them too =)


Sussan Paisley Print iPhone Cover


I recently upgraded my phone ( and trust me I was majorly in need of one) to the iPhone 5S, and had been keeping and open eye for some nice phone covers. I didn't want the typical leather (sorry for any leather phone cover users out there) or none of that rubbery stuff. Surprisingly, Sussan had a nice collection of phone covers, they actually had quiet a few and I couldn't decide between the prints, and the faux animal fur. I did end up going with the above, for something far less dramatic and bright, but with a nice pattern to it.  I've linked their website below, if anyone is in need of a new cover.


Sportsgirl Manic Monday Snood


I have been sporting this snood as they call it, on a daily (maybe not daily but often enough) basis. Definitely top of the list for April favourites. It can be worn layered or just has  a long scarf. I like the mix of colours, and it happens to match with everything, and most of all it keeps me Oh so warm.


Christian Dior's Miss Dior  Eau De Parfum


Love this Parfum. It's a timeless scent, floral and so yummy. Not something to wear on a daily basis, but great for night wear. It's a scent that you don't come across all that often, unique and has a real sophistication about it. This one is a real winner for me, and I have been wearing it a lot lately, hence the dint in the bottle.

L'oreal gentle eyes and lips makeup remover


Great makeup remover for the stubborn waterproof mascaras and gel eyeliners. The good thing about this product is that you only need a little on a cotton ball and it wipes the makeup right off.

Sally Hansen triple shine nail colour in Dive in 280


This is a gorgeous mild greenish-turquoise. I like this for the winter, it brightens up any dull day. It's a colour that looks good on hands and feet, and especially like it to match with a few necklaces I have in this colour. The Sally Hansen  triple shine range does some beautiful bold colours, and the finish on your nail is quiet good for inexpensive product. Thumbs up for the range, packaging looks cute as well.
