Not to tread on the Look 4 Less' territory or anything, but I thought this was definitely a look for less worth pointing out.



Chloe boots as seen in Erin Wasson's apartment. Now sold out. Originally $1,245.

These Jeffrey Campbell versions are only $170 (still not cheap, but still $1,075 less!).

better late than never?

I stumbled upon this silk Twelve by Twelve dress while browsing Forever 21's website. It's obviously a copy of Balenciaga's fall 2007 RTW tribal collection dresses. Are they way too late? Or, better late than never?

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

This amazing artist-J.Morgan Puett, was brought to my attention by design blogger 
It seems like the perfect mood to convey for the cozy, lazy, lethargic days following Thanksgiving. Unless of course you are one of those mad people who are out and about shopping in the frenzy of black friday.
Myself? I am tucked in front of the fire with a new magazine and the good intentions of making holiday wreaths with my mom. 
to each their own! whatever you may be doing, enjoy this little break...

"Conceptual installation artist J. Morgan Puett began her career in fashion design (and garnered acclaim for her art installation meets retail concept stores) until in 1997 she created the artists' colony Mildred’s Lane. Decay and chaos blend seamlessly with beauty and considered collections. Referencing the past it is a living working art installation. (Images from J. Morgan Puett and The New York Times.)" - Desire to Inspire dot net


Lush Reviews

Lush Imperialis Moisturiser ($30.95AUD) ★★★
Product type: hydrating facial moisturiser. Packaged in a black plastic tub. I was super keen to try Lush's range of products and was recommended Imperialis moisturiser as my skin was a combination of oily and dry. Unfortunately, it left my skin with an oily residue and a flakey nose as it was too rich and I did not like the feel on my

La Mer Reviews

La Mer The Eye Concentrate ($350.00AUD) ★★★Product type: anti-age eye cream. I have not found much benefit in using this product after four weeks now. I love La Mer and was ever so keen to try the Eye Concentrate but unfortunately while the texture is rich and creamy, and it feels luxurious, I have not seen a difference in the fine lines under my eyes and my eye area does

Korres Guava Body Butter ($39.95AUD) ★★★★★Product type: thick hydrating body butter, encased in a plastic pump tube.Mmmm-mmmm! Korres Body Butter is DIVINE - it is one of the best body moisturisers on the market. It smells gorgeous, hydrates to the max and a little goes a long way, although the hydrating balm-like formula does take a little longer to blend. I love the scent, the

Jo Malone Reviews

Jo Malone Lime Basil and Mandarine Cologne ½Launched: 1991
Classification:I was given a samply of this fragrance and was super excited to try it as I see Jo Malone  regularly advertised in the press. However I was very disappointed as this fragrance is super strong, did not smell feminine in the slightest and when I offered it to my partner, he bluntly told me he disliked it

Jemma Kidd Colour Match Concealer Duo ★★★½Product type: cream concealer in compact with mirror. Comes with two shades for mixing. This concealer duo comes with shades which you will actually use!

Harlotte Reviews

www.harlotte.com.au
Harlotte Blush in 'Frisky Pink' and 'Peach Frenzy' ($24.00AUD) ★★★★★Product type: pressed powder blush. Harlotte Blushes are beautiful. While the pink shade (Frisky Pink)  is very pale, it can be built up to create a beautiful natural look. The peach blush (Peach Frenzy) is my favourite though because it really brightens the face, looks good on many skintones, and the colour

Givenchy Reviews


Givenchy Very Irrestistable Fragrance ★★★
Launched: 2003
Classification:
While the bottle is pretty (I love pink) and the price is reasonable, I found this fragrance did not give its full  potential when on my skin. It smelled pretty but it did not smell spectacular and at times even turned a little stale. I had mixed comments on this fragrance, hence why I will not purchase again in future but

Elizabeth Arden could sell only their Eight Hour line and still make a fortune. Why? Because this stuff is amazing! Although Eight Hour Cream is more of a balm, the product

this blog is pure magic.
it is especially enchanting when viewed on the tiny i-phone screen
(which is the way i first experienced it)
something about how each image fills up the screen brings you even deeper into the author's world.

each image holds such a story and a life to it, i found myself unable to look away...wanting to remain in this beautiful and enchanted world of childlike things and organic whimsy.
give yourself a bit of time to enjoy http://rockorosor.blogspot.com/

Product type: smooth, non-sticky gloss with lip brush applicator.I LOVE Chanel’s Aqualumiere lipglosses…Diamond Rose, Candy Glow and Freeze are some of my favourites but Aqualumiere glosses are all beautiful.

Product type: hydrating body oil made from essential oils, encased in brown glass spray bottle w/ pump nozzle.

APIVITA Aqua Vita Day Cream – Normal to Dry Skin ($54.95 AUD) ★★★★
I have never used APIVITA – until I tried the Aqua Vita moisturiser. As I have normal to dry skin this was  the perfect sample to receive coming out of winter because my skin is dry and tight if I do not use hydrating and soothing products. Although the sample only last three applications, I thought the texture

My legs are begging for more! While I only managed to trial this from a sample size, it was a great way to introduce me to the Aesop range.

a note of sadness


I just heard that 20 year old model Daul Kim has passed away.
she was quite a talent- with an irreverent personality and a quirky sense of style.
she will certainly be missed by those of us who enjoyed her work,
and more importantly by those who knew and loved her.


my condolences

russh to get this one


always a fan of Russh Magazine
While living in New Zealand I was completely spoiled by the $4.50 cover price
now I have to shell out a good $15!
But, they do such a superb job of creating a story and place that is both magical and yet completely relate-able that I simply can't resist!
