Here are some piccies of what I wore on my holiday to Ettalong, on the Central Coast.

Every now and then (and hopefully more often if you guys love it) I will be doing a self portrait, wearing my favourite makeup of the moment. This will hopefully help you create looks you love, and also show you how certain products turn out, for better or for worse (let’s hope for the better).

Wearing: Loose Mineral Foundation thanks to Youngblood :

I have been wearing this foundation for MONTHS! Every.Single.Day. – with the occasional Sunday makeup free day. The great thing about it is that it provides buildable coverage. So I can have it light for work, and add a bit more coverage for events like parties or a wedding!

Speaking of weddings, I wore it here, when I went to the Hunter Valley. Everyone complimented how great my skin looked. And I couldn’t stop telling them that they had to try Youngblood Mineral Makeup.

I have very sensitive skin, so mineral makeup like Youngblood is perfect for me. And it’s always a plus when it gives UVA/UVB protection.

Lipgloss in ‘Sweet Pea’ thanks to SAX Cosmetics :

This lipgloss stays on my lips for hours. It gives the perfect shine and it’s a pleasure to put on when it smells like cupcakes. Usually glosses that have fragrances irritate my throat, but this one doesn’t at all. Ingredients include beeswax, jajoba oil, avocado oil, vitamin e & silk powder.

Also wearing:  Grow Luscious Mascara thanks to Revlon |  Blush in ‘Taffeta’ thanks to Arbonne Cosmetics

Do you like this look? I was going for a natural palette with a touch of pink (my favourite colour). Let me know if you would like to see more posts like this in the comments area below

George’s sister suggested I put a cupboard where this nook in the wall is. Such a perfect idea, which grew into the perfect storage space!

Before

After

Sliding Pantry | Drawers | Sliding Shoe Rack

The top of the cupboard is for general storage space, the left a shoe and clothes rack, and in the middle, draws for linen. The right side is a pantry as there’s not enough space in my kitchen for everything.

I do have a walk in wardrobe in my bedroom, however, as a girl who loves clothes and shoes, I needed more space!

Once my cupboard is all organised, I’ll take some more pictures to share with you.

I wanted to share with you all that this year I’m an official sponsor again for FASHION EXPOSED! Which means exclusive photos of the event on my Instagram, and updates via Twitter! Stay tuned

Also, I will be on the Debut Judging panel! This will involve judging innovation, execution, material choice, marketability and originality. I’m really excited for the event this year, which will have a line-up of over 1,500 local and international brands all under the one roof.  I have no doubt it will be a complete success!

It’s the go to event of the year, and if you’re in the fashion industry, be sure to register and attend!

So here’s an outfit I wore to a wedding in the Hunter Valley recently. I thought I’d match my cream dress with sparkly gold shoes & clutch.

“At 35, I know who I am, and having a 16 month old baby allowed me to grow up. I not only became a mum, I sort of became a woman. So I’m feeling a lot more like me now than I ever have.” -Shelley Craft

Chatting with Shelley Craft was pretty damn inspiring! We’ve seen her on Saturday Disney, travelling all over the world on The Great Outdoors, and making us laugh on Australia’s Funniest Home Videos – she is so grounded, bubbly and down to earth. You seriously just want to give her a hug, she’s so sweet.

Shelley and her partner, created the must have Aussie Fashion App on the iPhone/iPad - Hanger Nation.

Aprilia and I asked her a few questions about it, and love the fact that it has a store locator and the latest designer lookbooks!

“It’s been a year long challenge! We wanted it to be not just the first fashion app out there, but be one of the first big apps developed in Australia. Hanger Nation is the expression of what I love, something I could do to support & showcase the industry that I love, being Australian Fashion.

You never get to see the behind the scenes action, and being from the behind the scenes world, it’s a really nice thing to share. You can see the garments move, and not just still shots all the time. We will be filming more of this and adding it to our videos section on the website.

Travelling a lot in Australia and interstate, sometimes you can’t often find your favourite stores & I’m usually shopping in a mad hurry, so the store locator in the app was through necessity for me.”

 

Thanks Shelley!

The App is currently available for free!

Get Hanger Nation ASAP!
