OPTICALLY


OPTICALLY



I have not had a new pair of sunnies in yeeeears! Not since around the time of my wedding actually
which was seven years ago! You can check them out in a haul video I filmed back then if you're
interested! :)

So when I had the opportunity to choose and review a brand spanking new pair for you all, I just
couldn't say no! I mean just LOOK at these babies, that blue is gorgeous! Ah I am in love!


Optically offer such an extensive range of both sunglasses, prescription sunglasses and regular
prescription glasses. Their ordering process online is SO easy and fun too. Let me show you!

With pages upon pages of designs to choose from, it is so easy and heaps of fun to actually try on
the glasses you might be interested in in the comfort of your own home so you can get a good idea
of how they would look on your face.

Here are a few of the ones which stood out to me from their sunglasses range which you can choose
to order with or without your current glasses prescription. I don't wear glasses at all except sunnies,
so that is why I chose the pair I did. How much fun are all these bright colours?


Just for fun and to show you some of the other designs, here are some cool prescription frames I
tried on which I think are pretty cool too. But seriously, these four pairs are just the tip of the ice
burg. There are tons more styles to choose from! Which are your fav? I really like the Weldon 046 BLK.


There are heaps of mens and womens glasses styles, shapes and colours to choose from. They even
stock a stack of really affordable designer glasses! Prices start as low as just $39 and the quality is
way up there, especially for the affordable price.

This uni-sex pair I chose retails for a low $49 and is called the Xebec in a beautiful sky blue with
gunmetal frame. I love the shape of these and they frame and suit my face so well. I have been
wearing them every day in the car to and from work and to and from school pick ups and drop offs.


This pair was delivered to my house packaged in a hard protective case complete with it's own micro
fibre cloth and also bubble wrapped to ensure the glasses arrived in perfect condition.

Optically have an unconditional 90 day returns policy, with secure payment options including
PayPal, Visa and Mastercard. By far the best online shop for purchasing any type of glasses in
Australia in my opinion.

Which glasses style do you like the most?

MICHAEL HILL

JEWELLERY

Gift Guide & Product Review!


Who doesn't just love and adore a little bit of bling? Even when it comes down to just your every day
outfit to then dressing it up for glam night out. For me at least a little bit of sparkle goes a long way to
complete and perfect an outfit.

I have always been a silver girl at heart. Growing up a lot of my friends and family seemed to be all
about the gold, however the few pieces I did own and treasure were all silver. Over the years I have
been more adventurous and tried all kinds of colours, textures, stones and materials when it came to
my jewellery fashion choices. At the end of the day I always go back to the simplistic style and subtle
elegance of classic pieces and silver metals and sparkly clear stones.



Stud Earrings w/Cubic Zirconia in Sterling Silver - $239.00
I have three holes pierced in each ear. I was actually inspired way back in the late 90's by Britney
Spears stunning array of stunning silver jewels cascading up her earlobe from her 'Sometimes' music
video clip. I think she may have had about eight or so and she looked so beautiful and innocent. I
love that kind of girl next door, timeless class which is why I was so drawn to these gorgeous
beauties of cubic zirconia claw set in sterling silver.

Surrounded by sixteen smaller stones these large gems are uniquely designed with such a pretty
swirly pattern circling around the outer side giving them a subtle femininity about them which I
really love. 

Pendant w/Cubic Zirconia in Sterling Silver - $139.00
This gorgeous piece is my complete style all over. The super fine silver chain is light and fuss free
leaving all of the attention to the beautiful sterling silver pendant with one main cubic zirconia
in the centre surrounded by a further twenty four smaller ones around the edge.

I love how simple and classy this necklace is that I can wear with just about any outfit without
having to think about weather it is going to match, because it suits all colours and styles. Everyday and night occasions.

The great thing about this piece is you don't have to worry about it fitting you as Michael Hill let's
you between lengths of 40cm, 45cm, 50cm, 55cm or 60cm.

With Christmas looming and being just thirteen sleeps away this is sure to make the perfect gift!

So be sure to check out Michael Hill's amazing jewellery and specials this Christmas season!
They currently have 50% off selected gifts and hundreds available for under $100!

HOMEBODII


HOMEBODII

Vivian Long PJ Set

http://www.homebodii.com

I have been settling quite nicely into my new home over the past two months. The unpacking,
and sorting is done and navigating my way around a new town is finally beginning to become
familiar and really feel like home. Prior to moving however, was a whole lot more chaotic and
I had a LOT of de-cluttering to do! I moved around many times as a child and didn't really have a
lot of things back then. Fast forward to adulthood, a husband and two children later and living in a
place the longest I have ever settled down anywhere for a period of seven years and a lot of stuff
accumulates very sneakily and you don't realise just how much useless 'stuff' you have until you are
forced to go through every single things as you pack.

In saying all of that, I chucked, donated, gave away and sold what feels like close to about half of all
my possessions and that included half my wardrobe! Boy did that feel good! I'll admit it was daunting
at first and I didn't really know where to begin. I ended up going through my clothes about five or six
times over a period of a few weeks, getting rid of more and more each time, each time getting easier
to let go of things and seeing the brighter side!

Included in the de-clutter were a few of my old PJ's which I'd owned for far longer than I care to
admit! Now down to only a few comfy pairs for winter and summer. I now have come to own
my absolute favourite pair which are quite conveniently suitable for wear all year round!

Homebodii Vivian Long PJ Set - $89.00

Let's have a look at these super comfy and very pretty two piece set from Hombodii. Homebodii are
an Australian fashion label from the Gold Coast. You can also find this label in stores such
as Anthropology, The Iconic, White Runway and Revolve Clothing both in store and online.

My pick from this incredibly stunning range is called the Vivian Long from their latest 'Sleep Pretty'
collection. This floral set is made from a soft stretchy fabric which is breathable and keeps my body
 cool throughout the night. It features a button up front on the long sleeve shirt with a handy pocket
on each side. The pants are a little long on my 168cm tall frame, however sits comfortably around my waist with a gentle draw string elastic.


If you are interested in purchasing these pretty PJ's from Homebodii, be sure to take note of their
size chart as this particular set is quite a generous XS. I am generally a size 8, being smaller at the
top and slightly larger on the bottom. This XS is still very roomy and a bit long on both the arms and
legs. Not a huge deal to me, but just an FYI.

Homebodii offer a wide range of not only sexy and beautiful sleepwear, they also have a stunning
 range of feminine dresses, beach wear options and robes. There is even a 100% organic range!

What's your PJ style?

TALA RAASSI


FASHION IS FREEDOM
A novel by - Tala Raassi

#FashionIsFreedom

I feel like I am naturally conservative and casual when it comes to my fashion style these days. As a
stay at home mum, much of my days are spent either at home, the in laws house or at the supermarket
oh how exciting my life has become! I do absolute love being a mum, don't get me wrong and getting
dressed up and playing with fashion trends and makeup is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. Gone
are the days pre-motherhood when my husband and I would regularly go out most nights and go on
various adventures where there were plenty of opportunities to wear more formal and fun
(and sometimes uncomfortable) clothing! Don't feel sorry for me yet. I am just grateful to be able to
wear what I like everyday and not be conformed to try to make a uniform to look good on me! I feel
for those people. I used to be one of them, for many years!

In saying all of that, I have always had a passion for fashion and design, often drawing up sketches
during math class at school. Doodles of my art often replaced any actual work I was meant to be
doing. I think I may still have some stashed away somewhere, so I will see if I can dig one up and
place it below...


It is no wonder I am useless when it comes to math, I am sure my teacher must have hated me...

Getting on with telling you about his absolute eye opening and inspiring read by Tala Raassi. This
novel is so good, even if you're not into fashion I would recommend picking it up and giving it a
chance. Yes, it is a story about fashion, freedom, women and so much more! This is the kind of
novel I love to read because it is real, teaches me so many things about the world we live in and
encourages me to aim higher, believe stronger and keep on persisting my goals.

In short - This is a true story, Tala's story. She grew up in Iran where the world as we know it here in
Australia is so very different! At just 16 years old she wore a mini shirt. What's the big deal right?
Wrong! In Iran this is considered breaking the law for women and she was sentenced to 5 days in jail
which included a whopping 40 lashes! Like seriously, WTF? This in my mind is completely crazy
and OTT on behalf of the Iran religious police! Absolutely ludicrous in my mind when there are soo
many more important issues and other serious crimes which should be attended to and save the cells
for the murderers and rapists, not a young innocent women simply expressing her love of fashion!

Fashion Is Freedom is available now for purchase from Amazon.com for RRP: $29.99

I am so happy for Tala for being brave and moving to the US after her ordeal to not only escape the
chains of her country but to then become incredibly successful in pursuing her passion and creativity
eventually creating her label "Dar Be Dar" which was even the sponsor of the Miss Universe pageant
in the Swimwear category back in 2010!

Tala's swimwear designs are for every women to feel comfortable and proud in her own skin.
She has collections of both one and two piece sets which consist of a rainbow of trendy colours,
patterns, cut outs, frills and features.

If you're on the market for a statement option for the up coming Summer months then you are sure
to find something to love from her designs. Her prices are also very affordable with each piece RRP
around the $100 mark which is very conservative for designer swimwear!

You can check out her current collections here!
Let me know which piece catches your eye!
My favourites are her Hipster Glow in Black & Fiesta also in Black!

DESSATA GIVEAWAY


DESSATA DETANGLING BRUSH
ROSE GOLD REVIEW
+ GIVEAWAY!

You know, we've all probably got our go-to hair brush right? The one you always grab without 
thinking and just rake that thing through your hair at a million miles an hour every morning before
heading out the door hoping for the best and that your hair will stay sitting right for the remainder
8-10 hours of the day? Well, I'll admit, I have that one brush and do that too. Always rushing and
never thinking about the damage I might be doing to my hair as I tug and pull through the knots just
so I can get on with my day. My hair is long, thick and damaged, time to stop being so mindless and
show it a bit more love and respect. After all it frames my face and thus my selfies! :D


Desatta Detangling Brush to the rescue! I have recently added this little hand held device to my daily
routine to help with the dry knots which somehow intertwine themselves around like a spiders web
throughout the night. Humph! Been working a real treat though! The brush consists of three bristle
levels and 440 of them! They are made with a special gel which combats static and makes the brush 
last so much longer than any of your regulars do.


This Rose Gold design is completely stunning as just about anything which is Rose Gold these days
might as well just write sold all over it as I will definitely buy it!

This currently retails for rrp $34.95 and is also available in the mini for $29.95
Or if you just have to have both you can also get the duo in a pack for $59.95

MARIA NICOLA


THE 10 WAY NECKLACE

BY - MARIA NICOLA

I love fashion and wearing a bit of bling to finish off a look is one of my favourite parts of styling.
Having previously worked in retail specialising in fashion jewellery, I know all too well the struggle
of having that one favourite piece you wear all the time that goes with everything. However wearing
the same thing over and over can get boring so how does shaking things up by creating a whole
range of different styles and looks using the ONE necklace sound? Well, I think that sounds like a lot
of money saved by not having to purchase 10 different similar necklaces just because you like one
particular colour, stone or pendant. 

Introducing the 10 Way Necklace! That is ONE necklace you can wear in ten different ways!





Let's take a closer look...
Below I show you myself wearing the necklace in ten different ways. There are only eight pictures,
however you will notice the necklace can also be worn as a beautiful beaded bracelet in a number of
different ways which easily adds up to ten different looks, maybe more!



 






 



Maria Nicola created the 10 Way Necklace as an easy and convenient way to style your look simply
and easily from day to night and for any occasion in seconds! The necklace is made with a colourful 
range of crystals and sturdy magnets which make it so easy to pull apart and play around with the
different ways in which you can wear it. 

The 10 Way Necklace variants include -

Platinum Crystal
Champagne Crystal with Rose Gold Magnets
Turquoise Howlite Stone
Black Crystal with Silver Magnets
Black Crystal with Rose Gold Magnets
Dusty Pink Crystal
White Howlite Stone
Red Crystal
Turquoise Crystal
Red Howlite Stone

I highly recommend checking out the range as there is something to suit all tastes. Maria
Nicola jewellery also includes a range of crystal and stone earrings in addition to add ons for the 10
Way Necklace like trendy crystal tassels and Swarovski crystal pendants!

Maria Nicola jewellery can be purchased directly from the website which offers worldwide shipping.
