Good morning Sydney and beautiful subscribers worldwide !

Happy Sunday to you all !

The weather here in Sydney isn’t looking its best today but oh boy it was super hot yesterday !

So Hot that my best friend and I headed down to our favourite beach had a beautiful lunch at our favourite place (lifesaver cafe – the most scrumptious satay chicken wrap you will ever had !!!!) and even managed to stroll down and visit some amazing boutiques ( post coming soon).

Checkout our pictures below and see what we wore on this sizzling hot spring day.

Brought to you by one of my besties favourite brands LEE.

She wears the Born Free cut out Muscle Tank.

Such a great edgy, festival piece paired with your Lee denim cut-offs to give you a hot spring look.

It has an awesome cut out low scoop back and laser cut details all over the garment with a cool American Eagle placement !!!

WE LOVE IT !

Top : $59.95 from Lee

Denim cut-offs Also from Lee

I wear something with the same kind of festival vibe, just a little bit different.

I’m wearing a cool skull and lace detailed racer back tank. (which you totally can’t see much of) Loose fit for that hot spring/summer day and an Urban Originals Hat.

I think people underestimate the hat alot - It’s such a wonderful piece to accessorise with especially if you are going to spend time under the sun.

You can look hot and be cautious at the same time !

I’ve thrown on just a basic loose knit Cardigan to cover up from the sun as I am on some new skincare and medication for my acne which I will also share with you below !

Top: not quite sure – it’s a perk from work !

Cardigan : Target Knits

Hat: Urban Originals Australia.

(whistling because the hat said so!)

Yesterday was extremely hot – At some point it was 30 degrees !!!… That’s pretty hot for the first week of spring guys. (but it was soooo lovely ! )

As the weather gets warmer we must all remember to SLIP SLOP SLAP right ? I have been trying this new skincare product. -For those of you who don’t know – I have had trouble with my skin and acne for a very long time. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING…. Well NUMEROUS THINGS !!!! and they just don’t work.

I’ve tried dozens of antibiotics, topical medication, the pill, proactive, lots of different products and medicine but nothing has shown more results than ZO skin health by Zein Obagi. This has probably got to be the most expensive skincare I have ever bought but I must say my skin feels good, my face feels good, and everything is slowly going away, it is doing wonders ! AND the great thing is that even if you don’t have acne it is still very good for your skin.

Now, because there products are expensive my local chemist had a giftpack promotion, so I thought I’d give it a go and I suggest the same to anyone who is going to try it.

My Experience :

It is my second week using this product and I’m not going to lie, within the first couple of days of using it, I was already feeling good.

The pack I bought has an exfoliating cleanser, this is the first step. When I say exfoliating I don’t mean harsh granules of sand rubbing against your skin making it all red and horrible. It is a smooth clear gel with little beads that explode or get mushed whilst you are applying it. It does a wonderful job at clearing any dirt and oil from your face and doesn’t leave it feeling dry.

The next step, (also in the pack) Offects, TE pads Acne Pore Treatment. This product Reduces sebum production, removes dead skin cells and deep-cleans congested pores using 2% salicylic acid. It has special Botanical extracts that calm inflammation and soothe irritation, it’s Recommended for oily skin and breakouts. You simply wipe your face with one of these focusing on problem areas until the pad starts to get dry.

This third product I LOVVVVVEEEEEE !!!!!! It is the Oclipse sunscreen and primer spf30 duo ! I use it under my foundation and it gives me an even coverage as well as insanely protecting my skin from that harsh sun.

I have been using these products every day and can already see such great differences. I have few acne popping up here and there, and all that’s left are the blemishes, and that will slowly fade away with the use of ZO skin healths products.

If you don’t know of a good primer or moisturiser to use for your skin, I absolutely recommend this to everyone ! Anyone at any age can use it, you can wear it under your foundation or on its own. It ahs plenty of vitamins and nutrients and your skin will love you for looking after it.

They have a great range of products dedicated to anti-aging, skin health and acne so please do check out the rest of their products. Click here to visit their site.

Well, I’m off for Some Sunday fun regardless of the weather !

Stay tuned this week as I finally bring you the shots from spring/summer !

xxxx Much love,

TrenchTIME !

Posted on June 21, 2013 by rratavosi

One thing I love about the weather getting colder is the beautiful Trench’s and Coats that are out !

Here’s a Few Coats and Trench’s on my Aussie Hit list !

1 – Ladakh Trench

Classic and Simple – Your everyday Trench !

Ladakh allows you to keep warm yet look smart with this classic style of Trench.

Features a double-breast enclosure, notched lapels and waist-belt detailing.

2 – Bardot Military Coat.

Sophisticated Military – Something black to hide a bit of sexy underneath !

Nice and thick to keep you completely warm this winter.

Beautifully designed with a complete double breasted front opening, military inspired lapels and cuffs, and “girly-fied” with a peplum bottom !

You will definitely make a lasting impression with this coat !

3 – Forever New Military Coat

Strictly Military – Minimal yet says so much !

Clean cut – Minimal style Double breasted Military Coat.

Nice and fitted throughout with a self waist belt.

Such a beautiful colour to have in the wardrobe to add contrast when styling an outfit.

4 – Sheike Coat

Cardi-like-Coat – Something to make you standout from the crowd yet look completely on-trend.

Something a Little bit different to stand out from all the military Trench’s.

Such a great cover-up for a night out !

5 – and Lastly This Tokito Trench.

Sophisticated puff sleeves and zipper front opening.

I’ve accessorised with a Michael Kors bag – Dark navy. Classy !

Tiffany and Co Bow Necklace.

Scent we’d wear to tie it in– Daisy. Something girly and chic.

Commercial Finds ! A Not-So Boring Cardi !

Posted on June 11, 2013 by rratavosi

I am a Cardigan fan !

I am always wearing one, AND styling my garments with them too, because I guess you just never know when there will be the tiniest breeze. ha !

I think they are just one of those perfect daywear pieces every girl MUST-HAVE.

I wear mostly plain coloured Cardi’s, usually oversized, from Ladakh, cotton on or Zara basics. I find these three nail it the best !

Something plain for everyday wear is usually What I look for BUT when I ventured out to look for yet another Cardigan to add to my thousand Cardi’s I came across All sorts of Textures and designs…

Although, The Days Winner , was this very soft and warm Supre Cardigan.

Very Fresh with a nice geometric/slightly Aztec design.

Contrast black Sleeves

Black and “winter white”

This caught my eye because it wasn’t your usual autumn/winter Cardigan.

The combination of colours and it’s presentation give you the ease of pairing it with spring/summer brights such as your limes and oranges as well as the very common primary palette of Red and Blue.

And I guess that is what makes this one of those fantastic Tran –seasonal pieces that you would in fact be able to wear all year round no matter what the on-trend palette is.

With this particular Styling session I have only added one Pop Colour – Lime as it goes very well with the black and white knit print.

It is all very fresh ! So instead of showing you what it would look like with a winter palette I really wanted to show you a spring/summer Tran-seasonal alternative so you all can see how well it can be used later on a season later.

To add a core piece, something very basic We have our black denim. Any style, you choose whatever you are comfortable in. It can even be a pair of really great Ponte leggings you like to wear.

Now to Summer-fy this look I have also added black wedges that have a hessian-look wedge heel. This gives it a very Resort look and also even dresses up the garment.

Other little bits and pieces – A feather necklace and earring set to tie in the somewhat “geometric/Aztec” like vibe going on there or even just a set of plain silver chains bundled in a necklace.

Other colours that would be great to style with this are primary blue/royal blue or even white with a graphic print.

So if you’ve fallen in love with this cardigan you can head to your nearest Supre store Or simply click the link here and be directed to their online store.

xxxx Much Love,

Yours Truly
