Build Your 'Drobe - Staple Items for 2016

So 2016 is almost upon us and I am nowhere near ready (insert sweating yet smiling emoji), but just because I'm not, doesn't mean that you can't be... Hopefully this post can help you build your killer new 'drobe from scratch. I've included some staple items, for any occasion that you can tailor to make your own (yay!). 

1. The Pant

Culottes - 2016 brings times of modesty and sophistication, culottes are perfect for being classy while    remaining sassy. Try a high waisted pair with a body suit or crop for a finished look, or pair with sneakers for comfort and casualness.

2. The Skirt

The midi - unfortunately overlooked, this skirt is still just as fun was any A-Line, Mini or Pencil skirt. Can be for casual or fun. Skirts are great to accessorise with and can take your outfit from "plain jane" to ready for the runway. Another great way to add your own style to your outfit.

Denim - Is casual and chic and extremely easy to find at pretty much any market! I love vintage ones that have a bit of character in them.

3. The Dress

V neck - a go to party dress, short and funky. These metallic ones are my fave, there statement enough to not have to worry about accessorising.

4. The Shoe/s (you can never have too many!)
Sneaker - for casual comfort. Try a white tennis shoe and have peace of mind that it will go with pretty much anything.

The Heel - Sometimes less is more, let these shoes do the talking while you do the walking. These lizard textured heels and add a touch more boom to your outfit.

Have a marvellous new year lovelies, I hope it starts off as wonderful as you are - Hannah xx

A rockin' good chop...

Well hello once again,

This week after some thought (and a little procrastination) I've yet again constructed a post that hopefully will give you guidance along the path of self-expression. 

I'm a creature of habit. So when the hairdresser asks "What will it be today love?" I will almost always reply with "just a trim thanks". Hence why my brown locks have always hung nicely at a safe backbone length. But I've come to the realisation that safe isn't always a good word. 

Maybe the JLaw pixie cut or hot pink tousles or goldilocks' honey blonde are a bit too much of a change so instead I opted for something different, a little edgey and still to my taste. I went for the "Lived In" look. Its textured layers give it a shaggy and rockin' groove. Taking a risk, no matter how small it might be, can definitely make a difference in your confidence.

Not only does it look cool but, its ahead of it's time! Refinery29 reports that it will be super "in" during 2016. Don't forget all the celebs who's dos are working this uber cool trend!

I hope you can all return back to your lovely lives after reading this with a newfound knowledge that it can be subtle changes can turn you into a FaSion Girl...

Adiós for now amigos - Hannah xx

Cara defines rocker chick.

So you want to be a "fashion girl"...

Hellooo summerr (and readers)...

First and foremost, please excuse my absence of the past hundred years! I'm sure some of you might be able to relate when I say life can get in the way of a lot of things... But this summer I'm not making excuses and will most definitely be posting on a less sporadic basis.

Anyway, since I last left you in Autumn I've been reading and researching (as well as watching netflix) until the early hours of morning on trends, whose wearing what and style on a budget. All things that essentially are general knowledge for any "fashion girl". What is a fashion girl you might ask? Well according to Urban Dictionary, a fashion girl is a really cool girl who likes to read about and see all fashion shows and wear from it... always wears the latest in fashion and someone who makes up her own rules in fashion. Oh if it were so easy to make up your own rules in fashion --- hang on... it is!

This summer, make your own rules, express your self uniquely and work it with confidence then you my friend also can be... a FaShion Girl. So this post hasn't really been a post, or an update but a bit of a long (and maybe unnecessary) rant on how this summer I can help you find your own style and own it! There will be a'plentayy of DIYs as well as all the essential information from the world of fashion you need to know to be ready for summer, the festive season and the new year!

I'll leave you with some of my favourite pics of iconic fashion girls and their best looks...

Live on the edge, wear your pjs.

Add statement sunnies to complete any look

Gigi could wear a potato sack and make it look cool. 

Until next time - Hannah xx

fav outfit this autumn! (even though winter's 6 days off)

Helloooo lovelies!

Sorry I haven't been online lately, been super busy with school, homework hasn't stopped! Anyway, just thought I better give you a quick update on my fav outfit at the moment! 

What I'm absolutely loving this A/W season is turtle necks (I swear I have so many of them)! So I put together my black turtle neck from Cotton On with a pair of Finders Keepers shorts (a bargain from the Gilles Street Markets) and a pair of black boots to tie in with the whole monotone theme of my outfit. 

sorry my legs look so pale!

until next time! be sure to follow my insta and twitter ;).

let's be frank...

Let's be frank, the miracle body scrub is making its way into most babe's households, why? 

I decided to find out for myself and the result was fantastic. Starting with free delivery I was very impressed, $15 dollars for 200g of tough love, I was hooked! 

After scrubbing myself head to toe in this sweet smelling goodness, I left it on for about 5 minutes to let it work its magic (but mainly to take photos) before washing it off.

I was left with smooth skin, and almost no signs left of any skin imperfection! 10/10!

And it gets better, not only are there Frank original coffee scrubs but also come in chocolate, coconut and peppermint coffee scrubs! You can buy yours here.

I definitely recommend this scrub for all those battling with acne, cellulite, stretch marks or scarring. Frank leaves you with little of these issues and with continues and regular use (as I've scrubbed 1-2 times a week) these pesky skin problems would've gone. This is an amazing product, will certainly use over and over again.

Body Balm 
Original Coffee Scrub
Coconut Coffee Scrub
Chocolate (cacao) Coffee Scrub
Peppermint Coffee Scrub

3 on trend styles that have you set for winter!

Hey lovelies! Sorry I haven't been very consistent in my posts lately, schools started and its gotten a bit busy to say the least. Continuing, I have found 3 styles through Vouge's Facebook page and BNKR's and The Birdcage Boutique's insta that has gotten me VERY excited for the A/W season. After seeing these I think its a must for another shopping spree for me! 

1. THE 70s TWIST
According to http://www.vogue.com.au/ the groovy era is sneaking its way back in colour palettes, accessories and of course flared jeans. Marcia Brady got back ;)!

The gorgeous Kendall Jenner needs no introduction, sets the trend wearing Cameo Collective's "Crew Love Pant" in sky blue, paired with a sleek camel coat. Get her look here. This look was regrammed by both @fshnbnkr and @thebirdcageboutique.

Looking at BNKR's  <3 and their must have pieces right now, prints are very popular, animal, floral and check you name it, its there! Hint: pair the print with a monotone black or white basic for a more sleek look, or print on print is always fun, mix it up a little! Get yours here: right dress, bottom top, left top.

Q&A with Cristina!

Hello lovlies! Sorry I haven't been consistent in my posts much this month, I just got back to school! But its been a great year so far. So something very exciting happened. I did a Q&A with Cristina Tridente, the director of the absolutely stunning Couture+Love+Madness. I asked her the questions I thought you guys would like to hear, about style and a new fashion year of 2015. Make sure to check out her website and her beautiful gowns. 

IN ONE WORD DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE

Classic with a twist.

WHO IS YOUR STYLE ICON

I love Blake Lively, she always looks so immaculately dressed.

WHAT TREND/STYLE COMEBACKS ARE YOU EXCITED TO SEE IN 2015

The midi skirt, a great staple in any woman's wardrobe! 

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START YOUR COUTURE BUSINESS

Barbie, she has been my style icon since age 5.

WAS IT HARD BREAKING INTO THE FASHION INDUSTRY

All creative industries are hard to break in to, its about being adaptable, I have done many jobs/free work/placements over the last few years to get to where I am now.

WHAT FASHION/COUTURE BUSINESS GOALS HAVE YOU SET YOURSELF FOR 2015

I am showcasing my latest collection "Silk Road" at the Qingdao International Fashion Festival in China this April, this is my main focus at the moment alongside preparation for the 2015 Adelaide Fashion Festival in October.

Fashion Icons...

Yesterday, my friends and I who share the same appreciation for fashion as I do, went to Fashion Icons at the Art Gallery of South Australia to see Fashion Icons. The exhibition is straight from Paris, a world exclusive to Adelaide. Featuring a many famous designers including Givenchy, Christian Dior and Chanel. 

The way fashion trends adapted to the era was fantastic. From the 40s to current day the evolution never stops. The hem lines to the shoulder pads to the tiny waist girdles, how designers tested the boundaries by adding this features in an ensemble was all for good reasons.  

Afterwards, we went to Base, for pizza and pork sliders, as we contemplated our favourite outfits.

Overall, the exhibition was amazing. Each gown stunning with a story. I definitely recommend going before its over. I came out with a new understanding of style and trend. Below are some pictures from Fashion Icons and Base! Have a beautiful day while the weathers warm - Kisses Hannah

New Found Tea Enthusiast

Hi again everyone! What a week its been, I've only had my blog for a month and all ready its had just over 700 views! I can't thank you enough for making me feel this special! Anyway, recently I've found a new love, who warms my belly and is the perfect companion with a piece of cake... you guessed it, its tea! Chai tea to be exact. It's nothing to exotic, but this year I'm willing to "test the tea boundaries" ;). I'm thinking of trying out the Skinny Me Teatox, I've heard great reviews about it so that might be a thought for later on in the year. Tell me what you think about it either in the Instagram comments or Tweet me! Have a fantastic week and may your Monday be short - Kisses Hannah

Are you ready for 2015?

Wowee, its 2015! A new buzz of positivity and fresh starts are in the air. Its been a while since I have blogged but this year I'll get fully into the swing of things with regular posts and recommendation, maybe even a youtube channel. But for now I have come across the most spectacular of things which is the Pure Tan Coconut Body Creme, Coconut Body Scrub and 100% Coconut Oil. If you couldn't tell already my new summer obsession is anything to do with coconuts. These babies have done wonders for my skin, my skin felt so much more hydrated after the first use. You can buy the beloved trio here . Wishing you all the best for 2015 - Kisses Hannah
