Missguided Peace + Love collection

Hello my loves,

Today saw the drop of the new part to Misguided Peace + Love collection and I wanted to share with you guys my favourite pieces from this entire collection because there are some real gems from both the first and second drop, I saw a lot that I wanted!

 The prices of this range are a little more expensive than the standard Missguided stock (premium is the most expensive - but the quality is worth every penny), it's described as 'high end' in the link description and it does look very 'high end' to me!

These are my favourite pieces that are online now:

peace + love satin wrap mini dress burgundy

peace + love kimono wrap dress white

peace + love plunge collar belted jacket pink

peace + love silky wide leg trousers duck egg blue

peace + love strappy bodysuit copper

peace + love metallic choker copper

peace + love slinky midi dress gold

peace + love dollar print kimono wrap dress gold

peace + love satin tie waist maxi dress orange

peace + love satin wrap playsuit nude

My favourite things about this collection is the use of silky, satin and slinky material and also the selection of colours - I feel the colours look so exotic and luxurious!

What are you favourite pieces from the collection?

With Love from,

My favourite Australian online Boutiques

Hello my loves,

So, I contemplated doing this post and held off, purely for selfish reasons if I'm being honest - because I know the minute I share these sites with you all, you're going to love them as much as I do - and my secret shopping sites will no longer be secret!

But, you know I share everything with you guys because that's what I'm here for.

That being said, this post is going to be about some of my favourite Australian online stores.

Whenever I go out or have an event I like to wear something that not everyone has. that's why I usually turn to online shops. In the past few years however, online shopping has blown up and now everyone and their mother shops online. ASOS & Boohoo used to be my babies 9/10 years ago, (I used ASOS when it was A.S.O.S; As Seen On Screen - and they used to specialize in celebrity clothes and one of my 3rd year school disco dresses was from Boohoo so..I'm really showing my age! I used to beg my dad for his card to shop online!) I could nearly guarantee that nobody would have the same outfit as me, but now people shop one these sites as much as they do regular shopping if not more. So now when I go out, I see a lot of people wearing what I am, or else a very similar style. I don't mind this most times, but you know them times when you want to look super fabulous & special; I like to have something just a little bit different so I turn to my favourite Australian online stores.

1. Showpo

This site is a firm long time favourite! The thing I have noticed about their maxi dresses is that they are not super long, not sure if this means that this site leans towards petite/average height people as opposed to tall - but I love it as I've never had to turn up a dress, so this suits me perfect. They have the most AH-MAZING work wear range called Executive Ponies, and my god, the clothes themselves are enough to make me switch career so I can wear office clothes every single day!

2. Hello Molly

If you want an amazing going out dress or playsuit, this is the site for you. Not only is the price point fantastic, (I have seen some items from these sites being sold on american & European sites for nearly double the price in some cases) the quality is just on point. Their items are extremely unique - there is a SLIM chance of seeing anyone rocking your 'fit on a night out! You could pick me any item on this site and I would wear it and adore it.

3. Miss Holly

This site is a boho girl's dream come true. They have the most stunning co-ord sets featuring beautiful maxi skirts with slits and lacy tops - to me this site screams festival/hippy and boho chic, beachy waves, summer. This site makes me feel some kind of way! I was attending a festival, I would definitely be rocking outfits from here. When I think of Australia, I imagine all the girls walking around on beaches dressed in these clothes!

4. Sabo Skirt

So I think if you've ever heard of any Australian online shops Sabo Skirt will of been one of them. I found out about them off Carli Bybel (she is my favourite you-tuber of all time). Again, a boho lovers dream. Every item looks so enchanting and I just want every single thing! They have lots of flow-y, chiffon-y, silky items. Another great site if your are going to a festival or on holidays. They even have some gorgeous going out/evening dresses that would just be amazing for night time holiday outfits.

5. White Fox Boutique 

Ever wanted to look like those forever perfect Instagram girls who seem to always have their lives (and outfits) together?? This site has everything you need - they have the going out clothes yes, but they have an amazing collection of daytime outfits. They have all the amazing items you see on Pintrest and wonder where they came from! They also have a very good range of Quay Australia Glasses. These are the most GORGEOUS sunglasses you will ever lay eyes on I promise. You will want every pair!

Team them with a bodysuit and pair of their destroyed Boyfriend jeans and you will be the most chic person in town. White Fox Boutique also stock the brand 'Nookie' Which is loved by Emily Ratajkowski & Shanina Shaik.

6. Lioness

Again, where do I begin - I want everything every time on go to Lioness fashion - I want the entire site! For me, their playsuits/rompers are the best and most beautiful I have ever bought. They fit like a glove and they are always the perfect balance of flirty, yet cute and classy. Beautiful silky, float-y material is used in many of their items

So now that I have emptied all your wallets, let me give you the factual details about shopping from Australia:

1. When you go on the sites the items look expensive, but they are nearly always in Australian dollar and when you convert that to euro - most of the times you will be shocked at how amazing value the items are!

2. Shipping prices range from $9 AUD for standard shipping and $25 AUD for express shipping; which is roughly €5 or €16 respectively. Where possible I use standard shipping. It takes longer yes, but there is less chance of it picking up taxes.

3. Sizing wise I feel like Australian clothes are some of the truest to size clothing that I've ever tried - I feel like they are very consistent. 

So there we have it, a round up of my favourite Australian online stores and a very small few of my favourite pieces they all currently have!

What are your favourite Australian online stores? I love finding new places to shop!

If you like this concept I can do my favourite UK and/or USA stores - let me know below <3

Five minute summer makeup look

Hello my loves,

I posted a picture on Instagram earlier today showing you my 5 minute look for when you needed to be ready 5 minutes ago! 

This is actually the story of my life; I do NOT do early mornings and I have a bad habit of over estimating the amount of time I have to get ready. I will lie in bed till the very last minute possible and then be in panic mode.

The products that I'm going to show you are all drugstore/chemist brands. (bar one product, but this isn't an essential part to the look to be honest so you can switch it up or leave it out, totally up to you!)

The aim of this look is to literally have it as fool proof as humanly possible - so you can basically do it half asleep - this was the most important thing to me!

Also in the summer with that clammy, humid weather I hate having thick makeup on because I feel like I am melting like a snow-cone the second I leave the house; I feel patchy and gross for the whole day then. So everything I am is using here is to keep the skin and face light, fresh and very natural - i.e. PEEERRFECT for summer!

Products

Primer: Makeup Revolution Aqua priming base (This is spray on primer and it feels so refreshing and cooling)

Foundation: Rimmel #InstaFlawless skin tint in light/medium (this is literally just a tint, it doesn't have any extra coverage to it, it will just even out your skin tone and give you a healthy finish. I wear this on its own and under foundations too)

Concealer: Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer (This has a lovely serum texture so it doesn't feel cakey at all but it covers very well. I use this anywhere I need coverage)

Mascara: Soap & Glory Thick & Fast collagen mascara (my favourite trick to make your lashes look longer is t curl them beforehand - I know it seems time consuming but it literally takes less than 30 seconds and it gives you a wide awake look)

Lips: Huda Beauty Lip contour in 'Bombshell' and Maybelline Color sensation vivid matte liquid lipstick in 'Nude frill' (If you wanted the Huda Beauty lip contour in this shade and missed out - the Maybelline liquid lipstick is an absolute identical shade!)

Setting Spray:  Maybelline Super stay 24 hour setting spray (My tip for this is shake the bottle before you spray this, otherwise it can come out in very odd blobs..)

I did not do my eyebrows as mine are not a necessity when I'm in a rush but if you need to do your eyebrows quickly; I would recommend the L'Oreal brow artist sculpt product. It will tidy your brows and give a thicker appearance. 

If you have oily skin you can dust your face lightly with some translucent powder and then spray with the setting spray to remove the powdery texture.

I hope this was helpful! If you try any of my looks or use any tips let me know, I love to know that I've helped some of you! <3

Lily and Rose Jewellery ♡

Hello my loves,

Today's post is all about my new favourite jewellery brand Lily and Rose.

Lily and Rose is a Swedish brand that has been created by Therese Zetterberg. She favours the use of Oktant and/or Swarovski just to give you an idea of how stunningly sparkly and luxurious her pieces are!!

I am a self confessed jewellery addict; I am a magpie - honestly, the more sparkly, glistening and the more eye catching a piece of jewellery is, the more I have to have it!

In my opinion, jewellery is just a instant game changer when it comes to outfits; a beautiful pair of earrings can take your outfit from a 5 to a 10. This is my favourite trick - I also match my eye makeup to my earrings if I'm stuck for something to do!

I have had my eyes of Lily and Rose's Instagram page for the past few months and I was lucky enough that they gifted me with a few pieces and I loved them all so much I just HAD to share them with you - I feel like all girls should know about this brand.
If you have special event coming, maybe a debs or prom, anything at all, you will definitely adore this brand. All her pieces scream elegance and have a exquisitely beautiful, romantic look about them.

Here is what I picked:

These are the 'Kate' earrings in 'Indian Pink' and you can get them here .

These are the 'Miss Kate' earrings in 'Vintage Rose' and you can purchase these here.

The 'Sofia' Bracelet in 'Indian Pink' which you can get here

Here is a little fact about the brand that literally made me fall even more in love with the jewellery line.
Why is the brand named Lily and Rose?

Do I have any Sex and the City fans here?

Sex and the City was (and still is) one of my favourite TV shows ever.

Do you remember Charlotte Goldenblatt (played by Kristin Davis)?

She had two little girls called Lily and Rose! 

This was Therese's inspiration for her brand's name, she names Sex and the City as on of her biggest sources of inspiration when she was 16 years old.

I just love little background facts like this - I think knowing the ethos & inspiration of a company really helps you to relate to them - and I really related to this company!

I hope I've helped introduce you all to something new -  I am always on the hunt for new places to shop & pick up beautiful items and I love to share when I have found something amazing!

With Love from,

Rebekah x

Too Faced 'Sweet Peach' eyeshadow palette (swatches included)♡

Hello my loves,

So if you follow me over on Instagram you would of seen that I got my Sweet Peach palette by Too Faced in the post yesterday, finallllllllly!

 Straight out I'm already totally obsessed - I didn't think it was possible to form such a strong love so quickly, but I have!!

For those not familiar with the Too faced 'Sweet Peach' palette here is what it looks like:

Beautiful right???

Also, if you are not familiar with Too faced brand itself, they are famed for bringing out palettes that smell like their moniker, (and taste, but we won't get into that haha!) so the peach palette literally smells like peaches - they also have chocolate bar palettes!

I know that this will be my go to summer palette for three main reasons; 

Firstly (maybe this isn't so important but..) because of the smell - peaches always remind me of spring and summer, fresh and sweet.

Secondly, the colour selection is just perfect for summer and spring - you have your peach shades in it, but also some beautiful warm bronze & taupe shades AND some gorgeous accent shades like purple and khaki.

Thirdly, this palette will be amazing for summer holidays - it's literally the only eyeshadow related item you would need to bring on holiday. It has a metal resistant case to keep the shadows safe and because of the variety of colours you can create tonnes of different eye looks.

(L-R: White peach, Nectar, Peaches'n' Cream, Georgia, Cobbler, Luscious)

(L-R: Caramelized, Candied Peach, Just Peachy, Puree, Bellini, Bless her heart)

(L-R: Summer Yum, Peach Pit, Tempting, Talk Derby to me, Delectable, Charmed I'm sure)

My favourite shades are Candied Peach and Just Peachy. I don't own any similar shades to these. 

I love that in this palette they included transitional/crease shades. This means that you really do only need this one palette to create tonnes of different looks. Some palettes (e.g. Urban Decay Vice collection palettes) sometimes don't include transition shades which mean you always need extra shadows with you, the palette itself is not enough.

This palette will be gorgeous on all eye colours, but if you have blue to green eyes, the colours in the palette will make your eyes pop!

This palette retails for €47/$49/£39 and is available from Debenhams in the UK and Ireland,Too Faced official website and ULTA, although it is out of stock on their own website and ULTA at the moment.

HOWEVER, Too faced's co-founder Jerrod Blandino has said that they will be doing everything they can to bring this palette back so keep your eyes pealed!!

I would highly recommend this palette, Too faced shadows are amazing quality; they are extremely creamy, pigmented yet blend-able. In my opinion this palette is worth every cent.

Trust me, your makeup collection needs it!!

With love from,
