Which Watch?

I want to purchase a Fossil watch but am feeling indecisive. Should I go with the more plain, practical option on the left, or go a bit more bling (right)?

Thoughts???

Fashion Inspiration - Aria Montgomery

Aria montage from That Samantha Girl.

I absolutely adore the character Aria on PLL. I love her quirky style, which I think is a mix between grungy, vintage, punk and girly. My favourite outfits from this montage are the burgundy dress - fourth outfit top left, the stripy top and hat look - second from the bottom left, the lace looks - both bottom left and the red-ish dress - bottom middle.

I loved this outfit and was able to find a similar hat and top.

Morgan and Taylor Brim with Bow Hat $79.95 from Myer

Glamorous Stripe Sleeveless Blouse £7.00 from Republic

Matilda Cameo Necklace $16.00 from Boohoo.com

I know this necklace is very different to the one Aria is wearing, but I just think it fits her and this particular look. Oh, and I like it :)

Black and White Stripes

I stumbled across this Boutique by Jaeger Alexa Sweater in Fine Stripe for $227.71 on ASOS's website and realised I own something similar, purchased for a fraction of the price.

This is a photo of me with my cousin's baby, wearing a stripe pullover from Sussans (from memory, about $70) (sized up to XL) and a black floppy hat (about $20) from Target.

Perfume Pendant

I ordered this Gogo Philip Perfume Bottle Pendant $12.20 from ASOS last night. Excited about next weeks post!

Celebrity Fashion Inspiration - Sophia Bush and Troian Bellisario from PLL

Sophia Bush attended the InStyle Summer Soiree mixing Ted Baker's colorful separates, Nola Singer statement jewels and a striped Edie Parker clutch.  I love the colour yellow and floral, so this was a 'win win' outfit for me. The soft waves make her look slightly more casual, avoiding the 'too put together' look. Her shoes appear to have a lace panel, which I also adore. (Picture and outfit information from Look of the Day on Instyle's website).

I adore Troian Bellisario and her character Spencer, on Pretty Little Liars. I have watched many interviews of Troian on YouTube. She always presents intelligently, with humour and originality. I especially like the clips where she sings, particularly the song, 'Skinny Soul'. Her musical partner, Shane Coffey, is equally talented. Troian's outfit choices for the Teen Choice Awards have been stunning. Off the carpet, she dresses for comfort and rocks a more laid-back look, which I also like, especially her fedora.

Metallic inspired outfit

A casual look for tea with the girls. I have a crush on 'metallic'.

I purchased this metallic tank from Sussans.

I layered it on top of my longline tank (sized up to XL) from Sussans (which then looks like a metallic top and skirt)

I wore black leggings (the pair pictured are Sussans)

and my Windsor Smith Betty Black boots (purchased at Myers).

For accessories, I chose my black ring (old)

and wore my Giselle Vintage Diamante and Gem Bracelet from Boohoo.com for the first time.

Love the fact that sunshine yellow is back this season

My favourite new piece: Pretty Swing Pullover (sizes XS-XL) in sunshine yellow from Sussans

I wear this over the top of a long line tank (also from Sussans)

and leggings (mine are the activewear brand at Target. The leggings pictured are from Sussans)

I pair this outfit with my new Windsor Smith Black Boots (purchased from Myer).

First boohoo purchases

Boohoo purchases:

Courtney Emboss Pattern Clip Clasp Purse AU$16.00

Giselle Vintage Diamante & Gem Bracelet $16.00

As these accessories are very feminine and girly, I would keep the outfit simple, such as a little black dress and a sophisticated pair of heels.

Outfit Love - ASOS CURVE

Very excited about this outfit I pieced together from ASOS. What do you think?

Cutest Hand-Bag Sized Perfume

I received this Marc Jabobs Daisy perfume as a gift back in October last year. I tend not to open new perfumes until I have finished a couple, and as a result I always have a few 'reserves'.

My friends and family know I love perfume and it's the perfect gift for me. Pretty sure I have loved it since the day I could walk. As a child, I was always spraying myself with my mothers perfumes and asking her questions about them. She wore White Diamonds for many years and the smell always reminds me of her (even years later)

This is the perfect hand-bag size perfume (I always have perfume on me) and to my surprise (and joy) I opened it to find a spare funnel of perfume! Coincidently, daisy's are my favourite flower.

Cute, Affordable Tops

As anything but a 'shop snob', I have no problems buying from stores like Target and KMart. Tonight I found some cute tops at KMart, which were so cheap and pretty I had to share.

Peter Pan Spotted Top $19.00

I am planning to wear this with black 3/4 length pants and red sandals for work and black leggings, a black skirt and black boots for fun. Accessories: black beeded necklace over the top and some funky rings - like this one.

Ring: (sale) $3 from Just Jeans

Nail polish: Sally Hansen - Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips in Check It Out

Colour Block Tee $12

I love my TShirts and colour blocking. This will go great with my Indigo-coloured Taking Shape jeans, sandals, and beachy hair.

Bath and Body

As someone who watches Elle's videos (YouTube beauty Guru 'All That Glitters 21') I have been curious to try the Banana Conditioner by Body Shop, which Elle used as a young girl and said is great for dry hair. I have also wanted to try a Lush product, as they look and sound so great. I found a Lush store in the city and purchased the Buffy Body Butter. It is an exfoliating bar, that also moisturizes.

I am yet to trial either product (I need to finish up current products), but am planning to review them both.

Aria Montgomery Feather Earrings

So I went a little crazy at Diva last week. I have been admiring the feathered earrings Aria Montgomery wears on Pretty Little Liars (played by Lucy Hale)

but have been unable to find a pair that is fitting for me and reasonably priced. Fortunately, whilst shopping in the city last week, I found five types, all at great prices.

Even better, three of them (bottom left to right - red, black & spots) came in a set with three studs for about $14. The top two feathered pairs (orange and brown) were on sale for $4 each.

The set (three studs, three feathered earrings)

Scented

Japanese Orchid - by Flowers $7.47

Berry Souffle & Vanilla Dreams - by Shadows $5.00

Soap Dish (candle is sitting on) $6.95

(All items purchased from Spotlight)

The Japanese Orchid scent is my favourite. It smells like green tea, honey and vanilla.
