Yum yum...

Finally finally finally finally!!! Yes as you're probably all aware, Mac have re-released Candy Yum Yum, this time into their permanent collection! So, of course, I had to buy it (and I also re-purchased my all time favorite Mac shade (and possibly my all time favorite lipstick ever, but I don't want to confirm that in writing just yet) Creme Cup...

Of course I had to road test it, so the fella took me out to dinner...

Hello...haven't seen you in a while....

Yes that's right you're not seeing things....I am in fact, BACK! Kind of. Right lets start from the beginning - 

About 9 months ago I moved to Australia for a year on my working holiday visa for a fresh start, to travel, work, fall in love....whatever came my way. As it happens I got lucky and managed the hat trick, and I now live in a small place on the East Coast of Australia in Queensland, called Rainbow Beach. Google it, it's heaven. Here's a clue, I wake up to views like this EVERY DAY

OK so on to the good stuff. I'm (hopefully) going to upload once a week if I can, I don't want to be too adventurous and claim a 7 times a week upload rate, the internet connection here isn't great and I'm basically just to busy, but it is going to be nice slowly getting back into it....

Thought I'd kick off with a quick 'today I did this' sort of post:

Today I wore: 

 Dress: Cotton On

Bracelets: collected from various locations up and down the East Coast of Australia

Necklace: gift from the boyfriend for Christmas

Wombat: Gary (more on him another time)

Lipstick: Maybelline 900 Pink Pop

Today I ate: 

 

Grilled chicken burger on Turkish bread with chips and aoili

Today I drank:

 

Rekorderlig cider - I've kind of given up drinking so this was a special treat

Today I was with:

 

My gorgeous Australian boyfriend <3

So, fingers crossed, I'll be coming at you again in the not too distant future, hoping to do a bit of a UK/Australian drugstore comparison!

So far in oz....

I've met some interesting people to say the least. A camp oz guy on the plane who's gone to London to see the jubilee and was covered head to toe in union jacks, an Irish girl trying to smuggle crisps into the country, and a German/belgium/Canadian guy who so far hasn't eaten in 3 days, to name but a few. I'm now sat in my hostel room with 7 other guys listening to an American surgeon and a Portuguese drummer jamming to guns and roses. And we're only on day three.....

Off to Oz I go....

Hey lovelies, just a quick one to say I'm off on my travels today! I'm flying to Oz later tonight for my 12 month adventure so I'll be posting a LOT less regular. I hope I'll still manage a couple a month, just some Australia related ones and some outfits etc, and hopefully I'll discover some new products out there I can tell you all about. I'll still be here though, so don't forget about me!

Lots of love

All my favourites...

We're on final count down now, three sleeps till Australia! I went out with the girls for the last time on Sunday and decided to throw on all of my favourite elements in one outfit....over the knee socks, Litas, leather, denim, studs, black and my Saint Germain lipstick....

Then I just went out to get some last minute things for my travels...I needed a couple of memory cards for my Canon as I'll be taking loads of snaps! Again, I threw on ripped denim, black vest and my converse...all my favourites!

I'm off to finish my packing now and make sure it all fits in my bag!

Secret holiday....

If you follow me on Twitter or read my last post on here, you'll know my boyfriend booked a secret four night getaway for us and would not let on to where we were going. With the car packed up and a 'secret holiday playlist' cd blasting we set off. After many guesses (every time I saw a signpost for a new place) I found out we were stopping in a gorgeous log cabin (complete with hot tub) just outside York. In short, it was absolutely amazing. Thought I'd pop a few pictures and OOTD's up for you...
