Holiday of Awesome- Europe wrap up

I know this post is awfully late, but it's taken a ridiculous amount of time to go through the (over) 6000 photos we took while travelling! So instead of a blow by blow, here is a wrap up with some of my favourite highlights!

Our epic Adventure took us to these places:

Kuala Lumpur- London- Belgium- Netherlands: Amsterdam- Germany: Rhine Valley, Munich- Austria: Innsbruck- Italy: Venice, Rome, Florence- Switzerland: Lucerne- France: Paris- Paris for Christmas- Amsterdam for New Years- United Kingdom: London & Bath & Stratford & Liverpool & Oxford- Egypt: Cairo, Aswan, Edfu, Luxor, Hurghada, Cairo

Our favourite place was definitely Egypt- so I can't help but do a special Egypt adventures post tomorrow! In the mean time, here is some of my other favs!

 

Phew!!! What a trip! If you were particularly interested in checking out a few more piccys I've shared the albums on my Facebook Wall. I can't wait to show you Egypt! It blew our minds......

OOTD: Australia Day

I love Australia Day; it's basically a mid-week public holiday purely for the purpose of celebrating how fab our country is. Now, I know  of course there is historical reference behind our January 26th public holiday:

'Australia Day, 26 January, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip, in 1788 (you can read a comprehensive history of the evolution of Australia Day here).'

But what I love most about it, is that we get together with friends, family and loved ones, for beers, BBQ's and good times!

Dress: City Chic

Leggings: BigW

Cape: Woolworths

Aussie Pride: Born 1986

Here is a few of my happy snaps from the day!

There is nothing quite like cricket in the park on Australia Day! As a side note, my parents are leaving to Grey Nomad around Australia next week, so gave us our birthday presents early! Amongst the bag of goodies were these rad new costumes- how cool! :-D

Do you have a favourite public holiday????

OOTD: eShakti Love!

WARNING: THIS POST MAY CAUSE (ANOTHER) ONLINE SHOPPING ADDICTION

Have you heard about eShakti?? If not get over to their website right now and be blown away by the amazing vintage, modern and fresh clothing styles they have for sale! And best bit of all- EVERYTHING is available pre-made in sizes 0-26 or you can get it custom made to your measurement!

Towards the end of last year, I was contacted by the fabulous eShakti team and offered an item from their collection to review; I of course jumped at the chance! After arriving back to Australia, I raced straight to my PO BOX to pick up this cute little number:

Today I wore it out to lunch with some girlfriends and teamed it with cute lace up booties! I adore the button detailing and the in-flight bird print is gorgeous! The fit was perfect and the material super soft and lightweight- a summer staple already! The just above the knee hemline is flirty and fun for hot days; not your taste- well  in the order options you can change the hem line, neckline and sleeve length! Seriously, I'm in love!

These are some of my other favourite items from the current collection:

Take a Bow, Pops of Color, Bow-Front Corset Style, Hearts A Flutter

I adore the retro feel to these four pretty dresses. I'm hooked on collars and pussy bow tops at the moment; I can see the first dress paired with some stockings and t-strap pumps for a retro feel. The second dress I would rock at the beach and the Hearts a Flutter is perfect cocktail chic! The Corset Style dress would be totally owned by Sheri over at Sheri Bomb Blog ;)

Field of Poppies, Peter Pan Collar Blouse, Polka Dance Top, Sunset Blooms


Love love love their tops and blouses! I have to stop myself from browsing the eShakti website all day! These were just a few of the things I've added to my lust list lately- go check them out, I want to know what your favourite item is?????
