PHOTO$

HAD to share these pictures taken by a friend a while ago. Aren't they Amaaaazing? During the nice (almost) month straight of sunny weather we had, sunsets like these came often and it was a perfect time for some picture taking fun. I look forward to taking pictures with her again. Check out her blog HERE.

Bleach it


 Dip dying and ombre have been huge trends in the past year(s), whether it be your luscious locks, or your worn out tees,jeans, and dresses. So I have decided to embark on the ever so popular DIY and "dip bleach" some vintage shorts. My cousin will be my lovely assistant and the full DIY will be available on WHAT WE LOVE at the end of this week (the new blog I'm writing for.)Be sure to follow the blog for more DIY demonstrations as well as endless fashion talk and inspiration (so excited!)

 Below, pictures of what the end result SHOULD look like but when you're DIy-ing, perfect is almost never the goal. That's what makes it so fun!

New Angus Stone: Sigh and Swoon



It is well documented how much I love Angus Stone.

A man who can write, sing, play music and looks like that. Well he's high up on my celebrity crushes. And he can crazy dance too. I love a man who can crazy dance.

eBay: A Fashion Wonderland



This is a sponsored post


Once upon a time I was a devout eBay shopper. I regularly stayed up past my bedtime to get my winning bid in on whatever my heart desired at that time. In some cases it induced heart palpitation and great excitement - nothing beats those last minute bidding frenzies, let me assure you. 


One time (not at band camp) I remember driving like a crazy lady to get home to bid on something once, and the front gate of my house wouldn't open - I had to call my sister to shout down the line - "QUICK!!! Bid on this for me!" Clearly this pre-dates Smartphones, otherwise I could have just put in a winning bid from the front of my house, sitting in the car. For the record, I wound up getting online to win that sucker! It was a great win too. Bidding frenzies are akin to a good cardio work out. You can definitely work up a sweat. 


I've bought lots and sold lots on eBay - it would be fair to say I am a big eBay fan. From vintage clothes to furniture right through to books and toys I have been there. I am a big nerd and pride myself on my impeccable rating (100% - gold star, top of the class to ME!). 


However - it's been a long time between bids. 


Now I'm delighted to discover that eBay launched The Fashion Gallery back in October. I'm back in the eBay saddle! Yeehaaw! What makes this revelation even cooler? Model/blogger, (one of Net-a-Porter's top 10 style bloggers) Candice Lake is their ambassador. Man I love that girl's style - she has such a keen eye. 


The Fashion Gallery is like a virtual department store of over 30 brands (including Fleur Wood, Witchery, Lisa Ho, Marcs, Seduce etc) - where you can search by brand, clothing item and price. Et voila! Better than rifling through a rack looking for something to fit. I have literally spent a number of hours trawling this site shopping because it is supremely searchable. 


Plus there's an ace range of great deals to be had (including new stock). Already the Fashion Gallery is selling a fashion item every 8 seconds and a dress every minute. Isn't that cray?!




Check out Candice's Fashion Gallery Pinterest here.  Get yourself a-shopping at eBay's Fashion Gallery here
