A Few months before I head to LA, I was noticing all the awesome Slogan Tee samples that we had bought for work. Being inspired by all the wonderful Word Art on tee’s and Brainstorming these Ideas to create our … Continue reading
Have you been “TEMT”ed ??
If you answered no – then seriously, TEMT yourself.
These days there so much pressure on women to look good, That sometimes we get coaxed into sticking to the big brands because “everyone will be there” and “it’s completely unacceptable to wear something commercial” or that “I can’t be spotted in a no-name…EVA”. Well, a confession – I did it, and I have been doing it for awhile now.
Why ?
Because sometimes it is okay to buy something for a quarter of the price and feel happy when you can throw it away without worrying about dry-cleaning, or cringing at the fact that you spent so much money for something you knew you would only wear once.
#dontjudgeme.
My sister-in-law and I recently visited our Local TEMT store in desperate need for some fashionable, amazing pieces that were suitable for both a day and night time look. Browsing through the countless racks in the store, it honestly didn’t take long for us to pick something not only suitable for the occasion, but also something that was going to comfortable enough to wear ( and perhaps keep in the wardrobe for a second wear). I must say I was impressed with what was available for as little as $29.95.
For my international friends, who haven’t heard of Temt – you can compare it to your Forever 21, except slightly smaller. Temt is a fast fashion company that offers on-trend, affordable pieces for any occasion. they currently don’t have an online store available, however, you can view their most recent campaign by clicking here. They have also got Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Hello !
Forever new Shoes – so comfy !
A gorgeous print !
The lines in this dress worked perfectly for my body.
the thicker lines accentuated whereas the thinner lines slimmed down.
They were also fighting with the vertical pleats in the skirt so that worked perfectly in my favour.
“Lady Danger” Lips.
A nice matte shade of red/orange by “MAC cosmetics”
I chose a Top knot bun because there is also so much going on at the top of this garment. However Loose curls would have looked gorgeous too.
The cutest little clutch from “Colette accessories”
Also matte, reptile skin textured.
China Glaze Nails – “Pool Party”
I am in love with the colour right now.
It is very bright and in-your-face – perfect for nicely manicured nails.
and off we go…
xoxo Much love,

Hello Hello, my lovely subscribers and stalkers – I hope everyone has had a great week, an even better weekend and is getting ready to hit it all over again tomorrow ! I honestly don’t know where the time went … Continue reading
hmmm.. so where do I start for the La diary ? I actually thought this would be easier but to be honest the weeks have gone by so quickly, it feels like it was a long long time ago.
I’m going to try my best to re-tell it through photos for you all.
But before I do that, I just want to touch on the word “Family”. Family to me is a very important thing, especially my immediate family. We are a tight, loyal bunch who are always there for each other no matter what. Here, in Australia I don’t really have as much family as I do overseas. So there is always this sort of… hole in my heart, and I do miss them often, quite alot actually. It’s funny though when I tell people I miss my cousins, they look at me in shock. I guess sometimes people don’t appreciate and realise just how lucky they are to have the warmth of loved ones around them in the same state or country.
So in saying this, I just want to let my family know that wherever you are in the world, no matter how far apart we are I love you and Miss you and I wish we could be with each other always. And if you are reading my blog, thankyou, I just wanted to let you know just how important you are to me, even if you already knew that.
Travelling overseas, isn’t always about experiencing the culture, the surroundings, the food, it’s also about spending as much time as you can with the people you love. This time around though, I didn’t get to do that much, too little time and busy running around – before I knew it, Time was up and it was a long flight back home. But I guess that’s okay because there will always be a next time, another opportunity to catch up.
What I love though, Is that every time I go back, It is like I never left and that I had been there with them everyday. That hole in my heart just fills right up, infact it overflows with warmth, acceptance and love ❤ Love you all from the bottom of my heart.
So, Where do I start ?
Let’s just let the camera roll do most of the talking Shall we ?
You know when you’re in California when you see those Palms…
Honolulu in Montrose was so beautifully lit up with Christmas Lights and decorations – It looked so beautiful in the night.
I love landscapes.
LA scenery really trips me out – It always look fake.
I always just want to scrunch my hand up against it because it looks like really good wallpaper or something.
IN N OUT ! Seriously if you don’t eat this while you are there you are completely missing out.
Animal Fries because I was hungry like animal –
and ofcourse appropriate tags – #YESiateboth #dontjudgeme #onvacation
(Don’t count the calories, seriously…don’t!)
Just the start of my shopping…
(I did this much damage in a few hours… but hey if I really have to look at it –
The above photo is a minor dent compared to the overall shopping on this trip. #quickhideyourbankstatement)

Just quietly, Some more shopping… I did good 
Two weddings and no funerals.. Thankgod !
Thankyou to my amazing cousin for doing my makeup and going out of her way to get me where I needed to be on time looking like a doll !
And to my auntie who did my hair – Love you both so much !

Hello Beautiful People !
It’s the second last day of 2013 and I couldn’t be more happier to be here in LA, California spending time with my family.
The weather here is actually quite pleasant – Crisp mornings, warm days and slightly chili evenings. The transeasonal wardrobe totally works here !!
Speaking of Wardrobes, I know just the perfect retailer for those trend driven, affordable fashion-finds this month.
Boohoo !!
If you haven’t already heard of them, They are a UK based online retailer of affordable fashion who have been trading here in Australia for some time now.
Shipping is quick and inexpensive (standard delivery to Australia is free) and their Christmas 2013/14 lookbook is heavy with romantic colours and elegant patterns perfect for the Australian Summertime.
Here are some highlights…
The Moroccan Sands range is rich with vibrant colour, bold prints and bohemian fabrics. Perfect for both walking on the beach and grabbing a drink in the nearest bar, Moroccan Sands infuses vintage class with modern patterns making the perfect collection for an ultra stylish summer trend.
The Desert Rose collection is all about clashing textures in the most feminine of ways. Metallic and silk, lace and crochet, ruffles; anything goes when it comes to Desert Rose. Keeping the colours light, bright and sandy ensures that this collection is ideal for Christmas and New Year celebrations whilst maintaining an incredibly edgy aesthetic.
Inspired by the carnivals of Rio, the De Janeiro collection celebrates the life and soul of Brazil. Parrot inspired colours and big clashing prints come together to bring a collection of outfits ready to party in. With hues of luscious lemon, zesty lime and hot coral the De Janeiro range will make you the life and soul of the party.
Which is your favourite boohoo style?
To see more Christmas collections from boohoo, please have a flick through their Christmas catalogue!
Happy New Year Everyone !

And yet another weekend has almost come to an end !! Can I just say, this year has gone by so quickly, I still can’t believe that it is nearly Christmas !!
Two Weeks ago my boyfriend and I went on an adventure in the very busy Sydney CBD.
We had a very beautiful time together, especially since it was a little celebration for not only my belated birthday but also our two years together.
Scroll on down and see the pictures from the day.
I had such a great time shooting away at the Chinese gardens. It was so green, so peaceful and definitely relaxing.
Now before we get stuck into the adventure, Let’s first look at the outfit shall we !
Since it was one of those “bi-polar” weather days – I literally had to change my outfit 12 times.
That is seriously how many times the weather changed over 2 hours, before Rubick arrived !
It’s okay though, I didn’t stroll out naked, eventually got myself together !
I have so many clothes in my wardrobe/every nook of the house that there are some pieces I don’t get to wear for at least a year.
I’m not kidding, everything is in queue here… And I don’t think you’d believe me if you heard me screaming “ BUT I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR”, which usually happens at least once or twice a month give or take the kind of events included. hahaha !
#firstworldproblems!?
My Tiffany bow around my neck.
Shirt from Glassons – A present from my Boyfriends sister last Christmas.
Prints and Styles like this are usually very popular in commercial/department stores and boutiques during Spring/Summer.
Pink lips with this outfit ? YES, Why not !
A little trick I have been using lately with my lip colour is just using lip liner.
I first outline my lip, colour it in then dab. When I am about to head out the door, I go over it once more and put a layer of sticky gloss over it.
This makes it last so much longer – Try it !
Braided Hair…Don’t Care.
My lovely Combat boots from Betts.
Love this style to bits as you can roll them up and lace them as I have done above or simply fold them down and wear them as an ankle boot style.
Either way, They are super comfy, especially if we are roaming around on a mission !
Outfit is done – and as you can see I am wearing my very comfy Black essential legging pant.
It never lets me down !
If you’re looking for a good thick Ponte pair of leggings and are new to the blog. Please don’t hesitate to contact me and ask me where to purchase, or just scroll by my blog. I’ve mentioned it in many posts before x
❤
And so our adventure in the city begins…
We be walking 
He absolutely hates car park shots, but hey.. look who’s slightly smiling hahaha
Random little dungeons in the alleyways of Sydney.
99 birdcages but no birds…
I love this birdcage scene !
#HowtobeaTourist … I am totally practicing for my next holiday haha
Next stop was QVB
And it wouldn’t be Christmas without all of this.
Christmas decorations, tinsel and bling, Chocolate stalls and mistletoe.
How on Earth does on just casually walk past without wanting to buy anything ! It is seriously such a tease hahaha
So we kind of got hungry…ended up at Darling Harbours Blue fish Restaurant.
The food was so good, we devoured it very quickly, and I only got a chance to take a photo of my very delicious, very refreshing watermelon lychee cocktail. Sorry Guys !
Continuing our Journey towards Tumbalong park.
The suns out, The water fountains are on – I love that sound.
Last Stop, Chinese Gardens..
Secret Little Pathways
Spot The Difference…
So my feet got a little hot because Little miss Bi-polar-weather decided to get warmer…
A minor detour to Wittner left me the happy owner of these babies haha
White Studded Sandals.
Mumma Goose and her little ducklings !
Besties with the Sculptures.
Bye Bye City – We had a great day.
❤
When I got home though, The family wanted to have a Mexican Dinner date !
Looks like we weren’t going to call it a night yet !!
Mad Mex – Just the way we like it !
It’s Christmas EVERYWHERE.
Mum and Dad are so cute !
The Best Parents EVA !
Family is the most important thing,
A bond so unbreakable with people who will always be there for you no matter what.
Sometimes we don’t realise how special the things we have are until they are gone.
Make the most of life together and always be honest about who you are.
Reach out to a loved one this Christmas – New Years is around the corner and so are new beginnings !
Well I’m off to prepare for the work week !
Lights out Beautiful People

It was 3.30pm on a Thursday.
The sky was a deep dirty orange.
Much too eerie for my liking.
Smoke, the only smell in the air.
Taking snaps of the sky (Follow me on instagram @Ratavosi)
I couldn’t help but to think of all the families whose homes and lives have been affected by the bushfires.
I hope you are all safe with your families and that there are people there to assist you through this difficult time.
My hearts goes out to you all.
Wishing you all better days.
❤
Lunch on a Friday @ The Grounds of Alexandria.
