Indulging in Shoos!

Hey guys me again and guess what - yep I made it to round five of the Indulge Clothing Fashion Bloggers competition - *cue applause* wooooo!!! Anyhoo again just wanted to say a big thanks to all of you who have taken the time to LIKE my images taken by the fabulous Nicole Duncan Photography without them (your LIKES & Nikki's photos) I would not have gotten this far into the comp - so again thank you! 

Secondly I'd like to apologise for clogging up your news feeds on Facebook - I know there is nothing worse than seeing annoying LIKE posts coming up on your news feeds time and time again so again I apologise for this and again thank you for your patience.

From here on in there are eight bloggers left who will compete over the next three rounds. Each Monday night the three with least amount of LIKES will be booted out of the competition until there is only one blogger standing (hopefully me - pretty please) - now on to this week's challenge.

This week, to be on the same playing field each blogger received a new pair of shoos - mine a pair of Isabella Brown wedges. These nude, strappy wedges are super cute and perfect the upcoming Spring/Summer season, which coincidently is just days away......thank goodness.

With the sun beaming brightly on this gorgeous winter's day I decided in to get bask in its glory and teamed up the pretty duo with two spring inspired outfits.

The first a bright pair of Zara shorts (from NYC), dusky pink Valley Girl blazer, Three Anjewels Bespoke Design chunky necklace, Armani sunnies, Marc Jacobs watch and green shoulder bag from Forever New. I think this outfit is super-fun and perfect for coffee catch-ups, shopping with the girls or even work on casual Friday - I love it!

The second my beautiful Giuliana Rancic lime H&M dress which I picked up earlier this year when the E News presenter held a charity sale at It's A Wrap in LA. I love this dress not only because it is so pretty but because the money I paid for it went to the US Breast Cancer Foundation and that it belonged to her. I love Giuliana (and Bill) she is one of my absolute faves and think she is a true inspiration having gone through everything she has over the past year. This dress reminds me of spring, her journey and all the hopes and dreams that come with it....... This dress doesn't need much so I teamed it up with gold bangles and rings from Samantha Wills, ring from Forever 21, DIVA earrings and my Armani sunnies. Again this outfit screams fun and I intend of having a lot of that whenever I wear it! 

So that's it from me guys again it's now up to you. If you LIKE what you see and want to see more please LIKE this LINK on Facebook. Thanks again & I'll apologise to you all before I start clogging up that news feed!!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. x

INDULGENT

Hey guys - guess what? I've made it to round 4 of the Indulge Clothing Fashion Bloggers competition and I'm super-duper excited! Firstly a HUMUNGOUS thank you to all of you who have been LIKING the link -  without your LIKES I would not have made it this far (cue sappy love song) and secondly please help me bring this baby home!!!!  I'm up against some fierce competition and if last week's round was anything to go by I need every LIKE I can get. 

Anyhoo moving right along and onto this week's item - a Purple Ginger Girl on Fire laddered knit. Currently in store at Indulge Clothing it retails at the bargain price of $59 and is the perfect item for when it's chilly enough to wear a knit but warm enough not to have to wear your thermals (huh I hear Gen Y yelling at me - who the heck wears thermals)!!!!! 

As soon as I unpacked the knit I knew exactly how I'd be wearing this baby and here is what I came up with: 

 

This outfit is perfect for date night, coffee with girls or long, lazy Sunday lunches. I love shorts and think why only wear them in summer. I think they look fab teamed with a pair of opaques, slouchy knit and tank underneath. Pair it with statement accessories and a pair of pumps and you are good to go - don't you think?

Indulging Hoodies

Hey guys, good news I made it through to round three of the Indulge Fashion Bloggers competition - woo (and big pat on the back for you guys for getting me through)! OK So this week's number has arrived and it's a doozie - a FATE camel coloured hooded jacket. I don't normally wear camel (just doesn't suit my skin tone) or hoodies unless I'm off to the footy in the rain so this was a challenge for me - let me assure you.

I went through my wardrobe and tried on heaps of outfits and the only one that seemed to semi-work was the jeans, boots, hoodie combo - but I wanted different! You can't win a competition with the same old same old so this is what I came up with - what do you think?

I think the camel, black and gold tones work really well together. It creates a warm look about it and the tones are bang on for winter. I also love the textures of the different fabrics in this combo - AMAZE! 

OK again it's up to you - if you like what you see and want to see more you have to LIKE my outfit on the Indulge Facebook page and share it with all your friends. I'm loving this and want to stay in the comp so all your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your support so far and please keep me in the competition xo

Indulging in Floral

So while I was off jet-setting in the US I stumbled across the Indulge Blogging Competition. My love affair with Indulge Clothing started a couple of years ago when I stumbled across them in Sheila Magazine. Their clothing, accessories and shoes are affordable, stylish and suit every age - it's really a one-stop shop! So imagine my delight when I received a parcel from Tracy with a note saying I could take part in their blogging competition. 

The competition, a styling one, which involves receiving an item of clothing from them and styling it up with items in your wardrobe. My item - a pair of Blossom Floral Jeans - *squeal*. I've been OBSESSED with floral for as long as I can remember so to receive these as my first challenge was AMAZEBALLS!!! 

I looked long and hard through my wardrobe and with the weather being as dreary as it has been I thought I'd brighten things up with a bit colour -  here's what I came up with: 

 

And I know I was only asked to submit one piece but I couldn't help but get cosy in my over-sized cable knit - I think it also works well for the winter. What do you think?

Your job now is to get voting. This will be placed on the Indulge Clothing Website and their Facebook page so I need you to LIKE this look as much as possible and share it with your friends. I want to stay in the competition for as long as I can and I can't do it without you. Looking forward to sharing more of my looks with you xoxo
