Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips

Hello lovelies! 

I have had these Sally Hansen nail polish stickers in one of my drawers for ages and I have been dying to try them out! My mum bought me three when she was over in Dallas when they first came out a few years ago, a pink one, a blue glitter and a butterfly print. Since then, I have been over to the US and I bought a pink glitter one and a leopard print one.

In the packet, you get a variety of different sized strips and you just have to pick and choose which ones fit your nails best. They also come with an instruction sheet and the files you need so it is perfect. The instructions are super easy to follow which makes for a quick application process. 

I finally tried them out for the first time and I was so impressed! Since it was my first time trying them, I have a couple of bubbles in a couple of my nails. They look super neat too, which is a bonus if you are messy at painting your own nails. 

I was a bit sceptical about how long they would last (the box says up to 10 days) but I have been to the beach and washed my hair with them on and they are still perfect.

The only issue with this particular colour is that it doesn't photograph very well. As you can see in the pictures that follow, the colour is different in every picture. The colour is a pale pink but it's kind of fluoro. The above image is the best image and the colour is almost exact.

Clockwise from top left: Fly With Me, Kitty Kitty, Cry Baby, Bling It On, Blue Ice.

I would highly recommend these to anyone! They are the perfect solution for girls who have very little patience or time to paint their nails as there is zero dry time involved with these nail polish stickers.

Have any of you guys tried these yet?

Love,

Phoebe xx 

Brunch with the girls

The other day I went out to brunch with my friends from primary school. It is so crazy to think that we have been friends for about 8 or more years.

What I wore

Dress: Valleygirl

Shoes: Aldo

Bag: LouisVuitton

Bangle: Cartier knock off

Necklace: Lovisa

This gorgeous white mullet dress is my new go-to piece! I absolutely adore it, from the shape, to the fabric, to the detail... I love everything about this dress! Plus, I got it for a very good price. 

These shoes are my mum's and they are super cute and so comfortable.

Hope you all had an enjoyable week! 

Love always,

Dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe

The other night I went out to the Hard Rock Cafe at Darling Harbour for dinner with Emma and our friend Erin. It was really great catching up with her, as I have literally seen no one from school all holidays! 

What I wore

Top: Cotton On

Shorts: Cotton On

Boots: Nine West

Belt: unknown

Bag: Louis Vuitton

Ring: Diva

Necklace: Lovisa

Bangle: knock off Cartier from markets in Shanghai

I love this outfit! It was inspired by an outfit I saw Audrina Patridge wearing and I added some variations. For example, she wore a leopard belt and leopard booties. I alos have a new found love of wearing shorts with wedge boots; I love how elongated my legs look.

I also love the way my hair looked. I went to the hairdresser's that day and I got my streaks redone and a trim. 

I love Hard Rock Cafes and I am so happy there is finally one here in Sydney. 

I had a really fun night!

Love, Phoebe xx

Holiday fashion from my trip to Yamba.

Hello everyone!

I am sorry for how delayed this post is but I have been swamped since I got home from Yamba! In between catch ups, unpacking and trips to and from the airport, I've barely had time to sit down and update my blog.

This post contains photos of some of the outfits I wore while I was up the coast. 

Shorts from Riders, Top from Pippie Beach

Shirt, Cotton On

Topshop ring, OPI shade "No Room for the Blues" 

New favourite fragrance, #2 from Ralph Lauren's Big Pony Collection for Women, Beauty Rush lipgloss in Melonrageous.

New maxi dress and Guess shoes

Me and Emma

Shorts and top, both Cotton On

My favourite purchase by far was this gorgeous House of Harlow 1960 bangle! I found it in one of Yamba's more upmarket boutique stores Podium and I am so happy I bought it. It was relatively cheap and I'm sure I will wear it a lot. I love the geometric pattern and how fun and different it is. It is quite different to the jewellery pieces I am usually drawn too, which is why I love it. I am always looking for interesting jewellery pieces to add to my collection.

I have a few more posts lined up for you guys, so keep posted! 

Lots of love, 

Phoebe xx

On holiday!

Hey everyone! I am so sorry for not posting in a while! 

I have been in a small beachside town in northern New South Wales (about a 9 hour drive from Sydney) called Yamba. I come here almost every year with my family and I love it! It is so quiet and peaceful and super relaxed. I love coming here and lying on the beach, tanning or relaxing by the pool.

The town is super tiny. It mostly consists of houses and apartments and there is also a cinema, a few salons, a church, a skate park, some nice restaurants, a chemist, a pub, a liquor store and a couple of clothing and food stores and that's about it. It is nice to come here as it is so different from Sydney!

Main Beach

The apartment we are staying in is fabulous! The whole complex is relatively new and the apartments are nice and modern. We have one of the top apartments which is two stories and extremely spacious. There is also a pool out the back that all four apartments share. Since we overlook the ocean, there is always a nice breeze.

The weather up here has been perfect! The temperatures have ranged from the high twenties to the high thirties (in degrees Celsius) which has been amazing! I have been spending each day out by the pool or beach and I have noticed that I am slowly getting a nice tan, which is great, since I generally don't tan.

As for outfit posts, I have been taking some photos and I will upload them all in one big post when I get back to Sydney in a few days time.

Hope all of my lovely readers are well! I hope you are all enjoying the new year so far!

All my love,

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Hello lovelies! 

I am so sorry for the delay! It is 1:45am on the first of January 2013 here in Sydney and my internet just started working so I thought I'd publish my Christmas day outfit post!

I love Christmas! I love spending time with my family and having a relaxed day. As usual, I spent Christmas day at my grandparents' amazing house. I spend it wih my dad's side of the family, but this year there was only 10 of us, instead of 16. It was a lot quieter, but still very enjoyable.

What I wore:

Top: Ralph Lauren

Skirt: Valleygirl

Blazer: Cotton On

Shoes: Rubi

Bag: Ann Taylor

Necklace: gift from a friend

Bracelet: Thomas Sabo charm bracelet

Ring: Lovisa

Chanel Gardenia is my absolute favourite perfume of all time and I tend to wear it on really special occasions, like birthdays and christmases. 

I really liked this outfit! It was kind of annoying having to wear a jacket because Christmas in Sydney is usually much hotter and sunnier. It actually rained all day on the 25th which was unfortunate.

I hope each and every one of you had a lovely christmas filled with fun, food and family. I love Christmas as I get to spend time with the ones I love.

I am heading up the coast in a few days but luckily I will have internet in the apartment I'm staying in so I will be able to update my blog!

All my love and happy holidays!

P.S, I recently redecorated my bedroom so I'll put a post up soon! 

Internet down! :(

Hi everyone!

I am extremely sorry for not posting in ages but unfortunately my Internet is not working and I can't fix it. I am super annoyed because I have posts I want to publish! I still haven't posted my Christmas post.

Anyway, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and I hope you have a happy and enjoyable new year! I promise to get posting as soon as I have Internet again! Fingers crossed it will be soon!

Bring on 2013!!

All my love, Phoebe xoxo
