With my impending birthday coming up, I thought it would be fun to have a play on Polyvore and create a wishlist! Also helps the fiancee out should he get stuck on what to buy me :)

New Things!
I'm a nosy parker and love these sorts of posts! Here is some new stuff i've recently bought or in the case of one item been given :)
So what are all these new shiny things!
Pastel Pink Skinny Jeans - Kmart RRP $15.00 - That is not a typo, and that isn't even on sale...that's the full price! There are also a light blue pair and a mint pair... I WANT THEM ALL! The colour is actually called Fairyfloss....DYING OF CUTENESS! They also have these cute little cuffs on the hem and are the perfect length for me (being a shorty).
Ulta3 Magnetic Nail Polish in Spellbound - RRP $5.00 - Finally found these in my local Soul Patterson chemist, they were hiding behind the counters. I just got one to try out and will certainly do a blog post on this. They only had 3 colours (not entirely sure how many are in the range?) and you can also buy additional magnets for $3.00 each for different effects.
Face of Australia Sheer Gloss Lip Crayons - RRP $14.95 - This is FOA's version of the Clinique Chubby Stick, while I don't own any of those I thought these were too cheap to pass up. Bloody hard to find but eventually went all the way to Canberra and picked them up (I didn't go to Canberra specifically for the lipsticks!) Review coming shortly, I've done swatches and everything...good blogger I am!
Foxy Bag - Ebay - $10.99 (including postage) - I get so many comments on this little bag, and I get why it's adorable! I originally heard about these from one of my favourite YouTuber's Sprinkle of Glitter and when I saw how cheap they were, it was no question I needed one! This is the seller I got mine from - http://stores.ebay.com.au/abalacoco
Diva Rose Gold Watch - $29.95 - My lovely mum got me this, she knew i'd been into Diva about 5 million times looking for one and she found one on her travels, yay mum! This is an absolute copy of the Michael Kors/Marc Jacobs man style rose gold watches. I wanted one of the "real" ones for my birthday but always being a silver girl I wasn't sure i'd love rose gold on me so I got this as a try out until then... well basically I love it so I think the real version will be on my wishlist come September!
Last but not least, I got this album today. I absolutely adore Motion City Soundtrack and their last album My Dinosaur Life was my favourite album of 2010..hands down! This is their new offering called "Go". I'm on my first listen now and I generally make my decisions about what I think of an album after 3 listens, its my weird rule i've always had. However, so far so good!
If you like cheery pop rock with a tiny bit of punk influence, definitely check out Motion City Soundtrack. Their songs make me smile :)

Saturday Night and My New Gossip Girl Scarf
Right now I am on Twitter trying to find out the blog that featured this scarf I bought and totally enabled me! The powers of Twitter are great like that, you have a question and you have 100's of people willing to help.
I still haven't found said blogger but if it was you, please comment below and take this as a massive THANK YOU!
So any-whoo, the scarf is quite similar to one worn by Serena on Gossip Girl, I loved it on her (let's face it I love most of what that girl wears) and since this winter i'm trying to do the whole scarf thing, I knew I had to have it when I saw it on the mystery blog.
Here is said scarf on Serena (Blake Lively) on Gossip Girl, The scarf she is wearing is by a brand called Theodora & Callum (I don't think it's available anymore but you'd be looking at a price tag between $155-$185USD for the original)
If you're a bit of a budget girl, look no further then Sussan for a great knock off/inspired version of said scarf. I picked mine up with an additional 20% off!
I bought this on Saturday and decided I needed to wear it out on Saturday night for dinner with friends and decided to match my makeup with my scarf! So here's the look I went for.

So so so wrong...Kelly Osbourne!
This is an unusual type post for me but I just saw these pictures of Kelly Osbourne from the Art Of Elysium's Gala and had to share them with you.
Poor Kelly Osbourne...
This is all kinds of wrong, from the foundation to the hair and even the dress is not flattering! Girl has worked hard for her current figure and this dress just completely drowns her.
I cannot get over the foundation though, perhaps its the lighting/flash but you'd think these celebrity makeup artists would have that down pat (assuming she had a makeup artist and didn't do this to herself). She's a pale girl why try and make her look so tan. Perhaps if she was her normal colour the grey hair may work a bit better for her?

Loving... Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Coral Crush
Firstly... I know it's colour.... but for search terms etc when referring to these lipsticks i'll have to use color.
So one thing I noticed when seeing looks from NYFW (New York Fashion Week of course darlings!) and you know I was there right next to Anna.... no not really but lets pretend I was. One of the big trends was a bright lip and for us Aussies going into the warmer weather a bright lip is perfect!

I've said it before i'm kinda new to the whole lipstick thing, being such a lipgloss girl for so long i've only found my true love of a great lippie in the past year. I'm also not that experimental either, always sticking for neutrals and muted colours..... that's changed a little... I will declare it before each and everyone of you (5 people or so who read my blog haha) I LOVE A BRIGHT LIP! It makes you look more awake, makes you stand out and just looks awesome.
I was in my home away from home the other day... aka Priceline and wandering through the aisles looking for something fabulous to share with you all. I stumbled upon one of my favourite range of lipsticks (Maybelline Color Sensational) with a 2 for 1 offer. YAY!. So into my shopping basket I popped Pink Me Up which i've been lusting after for awhile and went away merrily swatching finding another colour to get. This is where I found Coral Crush.... It's a perfect spring colour pop shade! It's quite sheer so you can layer it on lightly or go for a more dramatic look with a few layers (my pictures are a few layers). It's not too bright that it looks like you've slapped some fluro zinc cream onto your lips but it just has that amazing pop of colour that is begging to be worn right now and coming into summer.
These lipsticks retail for $16.95AUD but I believe the 2 for 1 offer is still on until Thursday. I just checked the Priceline catalogue and next week they have $3 off Maybelline products. FYI Rimmel have a 2 for 1 lipstick offer next week too....so I may check those out too :)

I can't just stop at one...
This could be applied to many things... chocolate, lipsticks, cupcakes but today i'm applying it to my new favourite basic top! I now have 4 of these tops in my wardrobe and was thinking last night I need the blue one and the white one as well so no doubt by the end of this weekend there will be 6 in my wardrobe.
Finding a good fitting basic top that is comfortable is to me like finding the perfect fitting jeans. I went out of my comfort zone and stepped into SES the other week, no i'm not a snob but if I do ever buy anything there it's usually on the front racks because I hate trawling through 1000's of things to find stuff! I had a bit of time and decided to trawl and so glad I did! I found these amazing jersey tops for $12.95 a piece, bought one wore it the next day... looooooooove! So last night went back and got 3 other colours :)
So if your in the market for good basic shirts for summer go and check out your local SES store or order online on their new online store http://www.sesfashion.com.au/
Here are some pictures of said holy grail shirt (can a clothing item be a holy grail? Oh well I break rules so it is here!)

OOTD Kinda….
I hope everyone is having an enjoyable Easter weekend, and lovely 4 days off if you're lucky like me :)
This is just some pictures from what I wore on Good Friday. We went to my Grandpas for lunch which was nice, catching up with family and all.
Did you see my post about the things I wanted from Supre? Click that link if you haven't. So I actually got a top from there the other night, not on my wish list I posted either! It's a nude colour and just a simple loose fit tee with a pocket on the front with studded detail, here's a picture.
I have also noticed that the whole tons of charms on the end of a long necklace is back in fashion again. Glad I kept my version of this look that I bought at Glebe Markets years ago! Mine even has a Hello Kitty charm on it :)
I also decided to have a bit of fun with my rings... check out my Guns N Roses inspired ring.. sweeet sweet child o miiiiiine woah woah ohhhhh
Last and definitely not least! Is one of my favourite necklaces I have bought from Etsy, it is the lone hopper very fitting for this holiday weekend. I also bought it because I call my dog Bunny..... yeh weird I know it suits her... I promise!
It's currently 2am and daylight savings is meant to end at some point this morning, I always get confused if the clock goes back or forward!
Hope you're all having a lovely break :)

I have a wishlist for…. Supre!
Most people that know Supre know that it's generally fluro, loud music, tight as tight clothes and annoying SA's (sorry but they have been in the past), bodyguards at the front?
I went into my local store recently and while I think the place is too cramped and if your carrying a large oversized handbag and perhaps some shopping it becomes a bit of an obstacle...the clothing has gotten good! (I think they still need to work on their music, just quietly)
Here are a couple of things i'm currently thinking would fit in nicely with my winter wardrobe. I could only grab the thumbnail pictures so click the links below to see the full details :)
Colours are very muted and wearable, which is what I like. There are also some really pretty basic tops that I might go and pick up for work ($12ea).
Nice work Supre!!

OOTD & FOTD – My heart is yearning but Paris is burning
This is nerve wracking...an outfit post! Well it's a picture of the dress I was wearing yesterday. I love it and it was a cheap buy last year ($15 on sale at www.freez.com.au)
I had it sitting in my wardrobe but never wore it... it's a tad tight at the top but I love the print so wore it anyway :)

see my lovely ironing board... I hate ironing!
I also did a sort of Lauren Conrad inspired makeup look (who else loves The Hills?, sucks without Lauren doesn't it?)
For this look I used the following -
Base - Face of Australia Primer, Revlon Colourstay Foundation in Buff, Everyday Minerals Powder in Linen
Bronzer - Nars Laguna
Cheeks - Benefit Coralista
Eyes - Coastal Scents Black Gel Liner, Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara
Lips - Lipstick Queen in Medievil
It was also my boyfriends birthday yesterday :)
