GIFTORIUM


~  Myer  ~

GIFTORIUM 2015!
Find 'Wonderful' by shopping Giftorium online! - http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/gifts

Yesterday on the 10th November I was invited to attend the annual unveiling of the Myer Christmas
animated window displays in Brisbane's CBD. I have in previous years taken my family in to see the
displays, however I have not had the chance to explore the past two years since having my youngest,
my life has gotten a little crazy, so it was nice to be able to wander around with my two toddlers in
tow .....well mostly, mostly my two year old, Rory just kept on wanting to run away from me and 
explore on his own! Yep fun, NOT ALWAYS, just trying to make it through without losing a child 
and keeping my sanity (To which as my sister who kindly tagged along with me said 'I think my 
sanity is still at Myer.' Yep, mine too!

The event begun at around 11am where we were greeted upon an inviting display of personalised
jars of Nutella and gift bags. As we lined up I spotted mine right away and I have to admit, it was
a pretty cool thing to have my own name displayed on my very own jar of Nutella! Oh YUM!

Nutella was not the only personalised gift available throughout Giftorium. This year Myer has
thought outside the box and really done a great job at making this Christmas something extra
special. Who doesn't love their name on a keyring, xmas stocking or mug? If you want to give your
loved ones something extra special this Christmas, be sure to check out the range of gifts you can
have personalised with their name or initial for that added touch!

If you have little ones who need a photo with Santa, even though you pay a premium price, I think it
is worth it as I took my eldest for her first two Christmas photos and they far stand out from the
more convenient/cheaper ones we have had since. The whole experience isn't just waiting in line for
a photo with impatient kids in tow. There is a whole room dedicated to the kids when you go to meet
Santa at Myer. You can now even book your time with Santa in advance to skip the queue! YES!

The set up is full on and is really magical including Santa's Express train FREE for the
kids to ride over and over again and the staff are really fun and make the whole experience really
enjoyable for them. There is also a photographer there to take pix which you have the opportunity
to purchase if you like or even instead of a Santa photo if like mine now they are a bit older get a
bit freaked out when it comes to sitting on his knee. A really fun (scream free) alternative! :)
Rory (2) & Imbi (4) have got their golden tickets & are ready to ride the train!

Don't forget to check out the spectacular Christmas window displays down at Myer's Queen St Mall
if you're in Brisbane. This years animated theme is based on the children's book 'Little Dog & The Christmas Wish' by Corrine Fenton and illustrated by the mega talented Robin Cowcher.
You won't be disappointed! You can shop the book here

If you would like to learn more about this years Christmas animated windows, then be sure to take a

THE DOLL CONNECTION


~  The Doll Connection  ~
Blogger/Vlogger Event
#thedollconnection

Blogger events in Australia seem to be growing as the world of beauty, fashion & lifestyle
blogging and vlogging grow at a rapid rate. Since beginning my Youtube channel way back in
2010 I have seen the handful of #beautyguru's expand from what only felt like the US in the 
beginning to now having quite a few big names right here at home in Oz.

The Doll Connection was held here in Brisbane yesterday on the 24th of October at The Stock
Exchange Hotel in the city which I had never been before and was also very keen to head from the
south side over to the city for the day as I don't often get the chance to and I LOVE THE CITY! :)

Since this was my first time attending a blogger event and not ever having met any of the other 
beauties attending in real life my anxiety was on a high note but I still really wanted to go to network
and meet many of the beautiful and talented ladies whom I have connected with online, but never in
the flesh. So a big massive 'Thank you!' goes out to my fellow blogging sis who agreed to come along
to keep me company and she said she ended up having a great time and she even won a prize! (A 
huge basket of goodies from Harvest Garden!).
Me & my sis! #besties

My sister's generous gift basket of goodies she won from The Harvest Garden!

The brands who attended the event included - 
V10 Plus, Wardrobe Warriors, Arbonne, BotanicES, The Harvest Garden, Sunsense, Cocosun.....
The ladies from Cocosun!                                       Me with the gorgeous Rhiannon from Arbonne!

Additional brands/companies who donated product for goodie bags/prizes included -
Lush, Benefit Cosmetics, Tanezze Australia, Mr.Blanc, Hydralyte, Summer Salt Body, Kosmea
Australia, Beginning Boutique, Plunkett, Eye Of Horus, Scunci, VS Sassoon, Furless, People For 
Plants, Sukin, Apollo's Day Spa, NYX, Rimmel London, People For Plants, Pukka Teas....

So many amazing companies to meet, learn about and try their products! 
I was especially excited to actually meet the lovely people from both BotanicES & The Harvest
Garden to whom I have recently been working with. :)
Meeting the very lovely Christelle from BotanicES!           The Harvest Garden's delicious display!

I feel so lucky with the gigantic goodie bag and all the goodies we received!
Here is a pic of everything I lugged back to the car with me!
Goodie bag haul video coming soon! :)

I was lucky enough to win a few super fun prizes as well! :)

And of course getting out of my comfort zone (I am naturally very shy!) and making sure I made
a big effort to meet, chat and take selfies with as many attendees as possible. Unfortunitely I didn't 
get pix with everyone I met (next time!) and I cannot wait to catch up with so many of them again!

GLAMSTYLE


Affordable

Special Occasion

Fashion Focus

http://www.gardeniasite.com/

All of us some time or another in our lives no matter how much we love or despise it,
have to track down and try on about a million dresses and then fork out 
a ridiculous amount of money for something we are likely to only ever wear just once,
even only for a few hours! Personally I LOVE any opportunity to get completely dressed
up to the nines. Unfortunately it doesn't happen often enough for me!

I did however fork out $400 for my 'first' wedding dress which I found on sale which I later
changed my mind about and ended up forking out a whooping $2000 for my dream dress
which just happened to be the very first dress I laid my eyes on in a magazine. Oh the drama!

So in explaining all of that, it would have been nice to know that I could've saved myself
thousands of dollars if only I'd known about companies which custom make the dress of dreams
for the fraction of the cost! I could've bought about 10 wedding dresses! Argh!

Take a look at these absolutely STUNNING styles found at Gardenia!
Their styles range from wedding, bridesmaid and flower girl dresses to formal
and special event dresses. You can even choose from a range or different colours
from those shown in the photos below. So if you want a red or a pink wedding dress
instead of the traditional white, no worries, just pick your fav shade available!
They also offer wedding accessories such as veils, tiaras and gloves. 




They create just about any dress you can think of and their size ranges from
petite to plus size, so no need to worry about finding something that is going to fit.
They cater for maternity wear and plus sizes as well which I think is also great!
I know from experience how hard it is to find decent maternity clothing and this site
has a great range of beautiful styles to choose from.
They also have weekly deals and sale items!



They ship just about everywhere worldwide, including Australia and have very affordable
shipping rates using the very well known and trusted DHL service.

You can feel totally safe and secure shopping online with this company as you can use
between paying via PayPal, Mastercard or Visa. 

Have you ever purchased a special occasion dress online without trying it on?
What was your experience like?

Let me know below, I would love to hear about it!
