Glossybox

So I haven't done a post in a while, oops. Obviously not doing very well at this am I?!

After seeing so many posts on monthly beauty boxes, I've started to really warm to the idea, and I wish I'd subscribed to one in the UK before I left. However, after further investigation, Glossybox actually have an Australian version packed with Australian goodies by the looks of it. I think I really want to sign up but I'm just wary of the previous things that have been in there, some of them look great, but there's a lot of stuff I genuinely wouldn't be bothered about. Does anyone have any advice/points to make about Glossybox or other beauty boxes? Are they worth it?

On another note, I finally have my start date for my new job at GAP Melbourne Central! Very excited :)

Hope everyones well, and perhaps I'll start having more interesting posts from now on!

Spanish Festival

The Spanish Festival is an annual event that goes on in Fitzroy, Melbourne over a weekend. There's loads of great food and stalls selling jewellery, hats, bags, sunglasses etc. and at one end a stage where they had dancing and various things on throughout the day. As we walked past there was a big group salsa lesson going on! Here are a few photos I took there:

Check out those paella bowls!!! Unfortunately it all seemed to be seafood or meat in the paella so I couldn't have any :( I did however have a pretty good beans and cheese quesadilla from a Mexican stall.

Did anyone from Melbourne go to the Spanish Festival this weekend? Hope everyone had a good weekend!

What I wore

So until I can get some decent outfit shots done, this will have to do for now. This is an outfit I wore the other day, it's great for spring/summer and very comfortable. Probably the most obvious type of outfit I tend to go for - simple and comfortable! I'm loving the navy blue nail polish at the moment, currently sporting a shade by Ulta3 (cheap polishes!). Hope this type of post is something you'd want to see more of, because it's something I definitely want to do a lot more!

Note: These are not the actual items I own, they are very similar though. Image put together using Polyvore.

Black Swan

I took this picture when Glyn and I went for a walk around the Royal Botanic Gardens at the weekend.

 I'd never seen a black swan until the other day. I thought they were absolutely beautiful, although a little scary! They had 2 cygnets with them too, so cute.

Also had a lovely surprise when I noticed this little guy pop his head up;

closely followed by 6 or 7 others!

I apologize for my lack of posting on here, I'm terrible I always promise myself I'll be good and then end up forgetting or not having anything I want to post about. Plus if I want to do outfit posts I have to do them myself in the flat, which trust me isn't a great photo opportunity!

Urban Decay

So I found out the other day you can't actually buy Urban Decay products in Australia. Seriously, what is that all about?! Also struggling to find somewhere online that isn't ridiculously over priced for the products and delivery. What a pain! If anyone knows anywhere let me know! :)

Jeffrey Campbell Litas

Saw these beauties in a shoe shop on Chapel Street the other week. AMAZING! The only question is, would I ever actually be able to walk in them?!

I need to have a go at this!

kite surfing in St. Kilda

I fancy having a banner at the top of my blog, what do you guys think? Perhaps this photo or a similar one?

Melbourne Cup 2011

Hey guys!

So yesterday was the Melbourne Cup, it's a public holiday which was great, although everyone was pretty rough from the Halloween party on Monday! I didn't actually go to the races because it's so expensive (plus I'd have had to buy a new dress, shoes, hat - it's THAT much of a big deal!) but Glyn and I did place a few bets in the bookies and watched the race on the TV. And would you believe it, we won! Glyn had the winner and I had the winner and 2nd place with an each way bet on both of them and I won $92! Couldn't believe it! So when we went to collect our winnings and saw the last race of the day was about to start I couldn't resist putting a cheeky amount on that too - and I won again! Literally this never happens to me! I won small amounts at our leaving do but in total yesterday I won $134!! Very happy. We celebrated by having a rare meal out as normally we can't afford it haha!

I wore my new Love dress teamed with tights and boots as it was a bit chilly yesterday. Didn't get any photos but I'm sure I'll wear it again soon!

I think today I might treat myself with the rest of my winnings, perhaps venture into the city in search of the Naked palette I posted about the other day.

Did anyone else win at the races yesterday?
