On The Hunt....

I am presently searching for a new blazer - if truth be told i am actually on the hunt for TWO new blazers:

A bright pink or purple one
&
A light beige one...

I have seen a bright ink one in Bardot - but i think i may see if i can find a bright coloured one someplace cheaper.... i don't spending a little more on a beige on or even if i saw a gorgeous black one because those colours are more of an investment and i know that i will wear it HEAPS...

I will keep you posted!

The Clutch that Farah Bought... From Colette

Remember how I mentioned I bought a cute little clutch last week? Well here it is - I got it from Colette in Hay St Mall for $24.95. I didn't measure how long it is but I did make sure it would fit my iPhone + compact + (some) cash & gloss! All the important stuff clearly.

I love that even though it's silver metallic it's not crazy shiny - in fact it's a matte silver metallic!

So there are quite a few Colette stores around Western Australia; they are an accessories store that (similarly to Love Couture) have a bevvy of necklaces, earrings and bags to drool over (actually, i think Colette have more bags to chose from; but they don't stock shoes!) - the stores, whilst similar are actually quite different... but i like to mix it up!

Anyway; The bag comes in this color and in black, but as i already have a black little beaded clutch i thought this color would be well used this summer!

I must admit that when i left the store that there was a few other items that i HAD to demonstrate restraint over: I am coveting their vibrant grape clutch AND their bright (grass) green clutch... Oh so many clutches that i want... but seriously, how many can i get... in the one purchase?

Head to Colette guys - have a look: http://www.colette.com.au/

A Great Friday Purchase: Love Couture

A quick walk at lunch on Friday led me to feeling a little hungry - for shopping! As I had bought shoes and a gorgeously cute clutch the day before (more about that later) I could not justify buying anything too grand, I was looking for cheap and cheerful!

In the Hay St mall there is this store called Love Couture - it's amazing; I stumbled across it a few months ago and I think it's a little gem - Diva must seriously be feeling the competition with Colette and Lovisa but thus place takes an accessories store to a whole other level!

Love Couture stock the usual necklaces, earrings & bracelets combo - and like Colette they also stock handbags but this place also stocks shoes, ballet flats, scarfs, hats, a rather fine array of sunnies and hair accessories - I mean, it's any wonder how I managed to demonstrate SO much restraint and only buy said items!

I start with the boring hair elastics as they cam in a set of 3 and were reduced from $4.95 to $2! I bought them because i do like to wear them when i am holidaying in Bali as its too hot to really do much with your hair in the daytime - especially when your getting in and out of the pool!

The orange necklace is seriously adorable; I am LOVING all the bright colours that are coming in for the (coming) season - every time i see a shot of bright pink, bright orange, electric blue or teal i get just that little bit excited! This necklace is a 'fluffy' flower with the prettiest sparkly detail on the top:

 I really like that the chain is also orange - i can see myself wearing this against black or bright blue! And for only $9.95 it was a steal!

Next on the agenda is that gorgeous headband - in case you didn't know i am a little bit of a girly girl; i saw this as i was waiting to pay for my necklace and could not believe it was only $.95! The little bow under the flower is adorable and the detail on the flower had me knowing that this must be mine!

I generally like to have my hair all out (this is also the way Adam likes it; all out and curly) but sometimes there are those days when you either cannot be bothered or really just want to wear your hair up - i find a headband or flower can really add some gorgeous detail to your style and make it look a little 'dressier'.

Cute right?

Any cute accessories you've bought recently?
