A must purchase for all mum’s to be!

 Mummy’s to be, if you’re having an issue getting tights to fit over your baby bump help is here!!!

If you’re trying to work out whether it’s best to buy a bigger pair of tights so the seam finishes on your bump, or a smaller pair that sit like a pair of hipsters under your bump – stop right there!

 Target’s range of pregnancy tights to the rescue; they are just $18 and are designed to fit over your baby bump.  No more painful digging in or sagging in places – brilliant! 

To test the product I gave a pair to the best judging panel I could think of….one of my amazing best friends, Laura.  Pregnant with her second baby, she gave them a trial run for us and gives Target’s tights a gold star:

 ‘They are so comfortable and as they have large belly band, I will be able to wear them as my waist expands further.’ Fill your shopping baskets girls!

Hello beautiful nails….

I am a total convert to gel nails known as Shellac or Gelish nails…I realise this isn’t breaking news, but seriously if you haven’t tried it get involved!

If you’re an addict to having a bit of colour on your nails like me this is turbo nail varnish!! It looks amazing for 2 weeks and no chipping! The downside is having it removed, this has to be done in the salon or with special nail varnish remover (which took longer than having it done in the salon). Most salons will offset the price of removal if you get a new colour applied though.

For any of you with the same questions on the topic as me I enlisted the help of the lovely Charlotte Laight of Joh Bailey, Myer.

So,

– Yes you can apply another colour on top, just ensure you remove it with acetone free nail varnish.

– If the gel colour starts to look a little dull towards the end of the wear, then put clear varnish on it.

– It only takes about 10 minutes extra to apply that a standard varnish manicure.

Hello beautiful nails!!

Help is here to finding the perfect pair of jeans…

Boys, need some help getting that right pair of jeans for you….

To find the perfect pair you need to go a little further than grabbing a pair that fits your waist and leg measurements. Not all jeans were born the same, so follow our simple guide to the fit and cuts, and you’ll find your perfect pair in no time.

Boot cut – the most versatile of all styles that work for nearly all body shapes. They will sit just below the waist and are cut with a slight flare out at the bottom.

Loose/Relaxed fit – these are best for the heavier guys or those who want more room and a casual look. Although they are a baggy style, they should still fit well round the waist…not hanging off your hips a’la Marky Mark. If you’re trying to hide a few extra kilo’s go for a darker shade.

Skinny’s -the pass into the skinny jeans club is a limited one! They really aren’t for everyone, but if you’ve got a slim figure & can pull off the look, do it, on the right person they look hot!

Slim fit/Straight cut – A little more forgiving that the skinnys but still offer that more modern look than some of the baggier jeans.

Regular – These sit on the waist and have a square shape to them, sitting parallel from ankle to hip. Great for anyone wanting to hide skinny legs! For those wanting to disguise a few extra kilo’s then you’d be surprised by how much more flattering straight or regular cut can look than a bigger relaxed fit.

Keep the colour dark if you want to look slimmer and distressed if your legs are on the skinny side.

If they sag at the crotch or bum then they’re not the right pair!

Happy shopping 🙂

For the love of shoes…

I am not sure if you can call it an obsession or an infatuation, but my love for purchasing shoes reached an all-time high when I found a gorgeous website – shoes of prey.

Not only do they have loads of beautiful ready to order heels, ballet flats, sandals and ankle boots BUT you can take any shoe and customise it.

You can change the colour, the heel height, the fabric, change the front and the back of the shoe and add embellishments, its genius!

Prices for heels start at $250 and take around 5 weeks for delivery.

Shoe heaven 🙂
