March Beauty and Fashion Favourites

Here are my favourites for the month of March

Chanel Rouge Allure in Palpitante 102

I absolutely adore this lipstick. The image doesn't capture the true colour of it, but it's a raspberry red, which can easily be worn with different outfits, day night, glam or not. I might do a review on it, to show you how the colour looks on. It slides on smooth, and leaves your lips soft and plump. For the ones that know me well, would know that I'm a big red lippy fan, and it's not all that easy to find the right red for my skin tone, so I was pretty happy with this one. 

MAC Mineralise Skin finish natural in 'Give me sun'.

If I were to chose one item from my makeup look, I would jump at this any day. It's by far my favourite  bronzer, and I like that it works well with my skin tone, and I would say for any skin tone really. The lady at the Mac counter was wearing this, and she sold it to me just by having it on her face Haha. You can always work it up or down, I usually pat down a little for the day and layer it for night. 

NARS Larger than life, long wear eyeliner. 

I like the smoothness of this, it glides on so easily. I don't wear a lot of black liner, so it has the perfect tip to create a thin line. 

Sephora Moon shadow baked palette

I have never been much of an eyeshadow person, but since buying this palette (which I have had for awhile mind you) I have been converted. It has the right  mixutre of shades to create the eye looks that I like, dramatic or not. I love the dark brown on the bottom left, it's my 'go to' outer crease shade, along with the lighter browns and bronze for all over eyelid shades. 

Rose gold diamond earrings

 I'm a sucker for small earrings, and I'm really liking rose gold at the moment.  This pair is set with diamonds, ( Earrings are from mummy dearest and pendant from my little sister, both were a birthday gift). 

I do enjoy doing these monthly beauty blogs.

Saturday Fundays- Zayahn's 1st Birthday

I love going to kiddy parties. There's a sentence I never thought I'd be saying haha. Now that little R is getting older, she seems to understand whats going on around her, aware of her social surroundings and her interests are somewhat shining through. It's so hard to believe that a little over 6 months ago she was still inside me. Ahh!

The birthday we went to was a Peter Rabbit theme, which was very cute. Perfect for a little boys 1st birthday, the party started at 1pm so I did feed Miss her lunch before we left. She was okay for most of the time, and did get exhausted a few hours into it, and slept in her pram.

This was her OOTD.

This dress was a present and is from Mothercare in size 00. Munchkin doesn't have much clothes in red, and I  adore this. It's cotton and has a small layer of navy tulle underneath, which is simply devine. She did wear a long sleeved spencer underneath.

I couldn't wait till possum fit into these shoes, and she finally does, from Zara in european size 18. She also wore navy stockings and a Laynie bug design bow. I wish I had taken some pictures of her in this outfit, we were in such a hurry and didn't have time. 

The party favours were oh so cute. Here are the lolly bags and the party favours which were given out. The Beatrix Potter book was given to Miss and the little notepad were for the older guests. 

That's it for now.

Sunday Fundays -Dinner at Byblos

How are we. I feel like time is getting the better of me these days. I don't know how it could possibly be mid April already? How the year is flying by!

Meanwhile, I have been keeping myself and munchkin busy, we have daily activities in place to keep her occupied, other than just playing on the floor with her toys. I find it a great way to bond and teach her all sorts of new things. I'll discuss it in more detail in her monthly update.

We joined a few of our friends for dinner at Byblos on Sunday night, a restaurant beautifully  located off the banks of the Yarra river.  Possum was good for most of the night other than going back to her stranger danger days, and making a fuss when people hold her. I hope it's something that passes soon, as she's starting to get quiet clingy with mummy and daddy. But she did stay in a high chair for most of the night, eating her dessert and rusks ( she had dinner before we left home), which was nice.

Here is her outfit of the day.

 This cotton dress is from David Jones, a label called 'Baby by Yianna' in size 00. I do love white on babies, it's so pure and clean. And to me, the hint of navy just made it a perfect dress. I'm not sure if you can see it in the photo but it has some gorgeous stitch detailing on the chest. This dress is one of my faves.

With that she wore a knitted wool cardigan from Osh Kosk in size 00, navy stockings and Tic Tac Toe shoes in size 1.

We were in a hurry to leave home and didn't get a chance to snap up a pic (like I usually do on the couch), but got this one at the restaurant. As you can see she was devouring her rusk, she's my messy teething bubba at the moment. 

Just as I was about to upload this post, munchkin did her first fast crawl. She's officially a crawling baby Oh my! So emotional right now, she's just always surprising us and growing up faster than we expected. 

Till the next post.

Seed, Target & Rap Haul

Hi All.

It's been while I know. Apologies for not updating my blog in over a week. I've had a few things on, (projects I'm working on along with a face lift for this blog) and it's completely consuming any free time I have. And now that little miss is 6 months (YES my baby girl is half a year old) she is mobile and army crawling all over the place.  I can't believe how fast they grow.

I have been out quiet a bit over the past weeks, and just picked up a few things here and there.

I purchased these two from Seed Heritage in Highpoint Maribyrnong, they were 25% off  which worked out better than paying full price haha.  I adore this knitted jumper, I bought this in size 3-6 months, their clothing is slightly larger than others, it's big on munchkin now, but should fit her in a month or so. As is the pant, also in size 3-6 months, I like the light denim wash, and the flowers just make it that little bit girly. 

Rayah loves Sophie the giraffe, picked this up in Seed as well, after hearing some great reviews from other parents in our playgroup. It really does work a treat for our teething rabbit, and it's one she loves holding whether it's in her mouth or not. 

I've been on the hunt for some nice winter beanies , pretty girls ones are not easy to find, and especially in her size. Most of them are either too big or too small. I got this one from Rap, which is a small gift boutique in the city close to where I work, and they've got gorgeous baby items. It's a soft wool knit beanie, and I was sold on the elephant.

I picked up a few winter tops for possum from Target, all in size 6-12 months , except the cream with gold threaded cardigan which is 3-6 months. I know we will get heaps of wear out of these in the cooler months, and they will work well for layering too.

 Lastly, I got these yesterday from Toys R Us,  Nuby No-spill  4 in 1 converter cup and feeding spoons, and Munchkin formula dispenser. I tried out the sippy cup after taking these pictures and possum is loving it, she's able to hold onto it and feed herself, which is great. The spout is soft, similar to her bottles, which makes the transition from bottle to sippy easier. This product is from 6 months + as per packaging. I haven't opened the other two, so yet to provide a review.

That's it for this post. Have a wonderful muggy Monday xox
