Hello Gorgeous people!

Today I wanted to talk to you about the new 'Chelsea Necklace' which has recently been released by the amazing company 'Naked Pearls' based in Melbourne. This post is way overdue, but it has given me a great amount of time to really appreciate this gorgeous piece before sharing my honest thoughts and opinions with you all.

The Chelsea Necklace is unlike any necklace I have ever owned. It exudes class, professionalism and beauty. I have never owned a pearl necklace before (but I am very well known for wearing pearl like accessories) along with my fair skin, this necklace is everything I have been looking for.

Details:

The pearl is set on a 925 sterling silver pendant and strung on a 45cm 925 sterling silver chain. The grading standard used is the AAA-A Grading System.

Pearl Type - Freshwater Pearls
Colour - White
Overtone - Pink
Shape - Drop
Lustre - Exceptional (AAA Grade)
Surface - 95% Flawless (AAA Grade)
Size - 8mm

You can purchase this necklace at 'Naked Pearls' by clicking right here or you can simply browse the site.

I will be wearing this at several very large events I have coming up within the next month or two, and I can't wait. I also feel fantastic that I am supporting such a local Australian company that truly deserves more attention.

All prices are listed on the website and are true to quality.

Until next time,

Maddie

Ever thought about stepping up your fashion 'game' but putting a stop to those thoughts because you simply don't have enough money to be fashionable? Or to even express yourself through clothes? Well then, this is fantastic news for you!

I was thinking the same thing until I was given the opportunity to work with DFO Jindalee in South Brisbane. I visited on Friday after work and it was my first visit, it was practically empty and man did I have a fantastic time with NO worries, no slow 'mall' walkers and no lines.

My budget was only $100 and I aimed to get almost a full outfit, which I achieved! The outfit is so versatile, I can switch and change pieces to wear for home and for work (very professional and teacher appropriate with a change of shoes and pants).

My favourite piece of this outfit has to be my first purchase (ever) from Portmans! So exciting. I can never normally afford to shop at Portmans on such a tight budget, but this new season bright yellow jacket was a steal, considering it was $10 less than it is in the non outlet stores and online. DFO YOU LIFE CHANGERS!

The top I purchased was a measly $10 & the shoes just $5 from Factorie and Cotton On! Always amazing places for bargains, but at DFO you basically feel like you're stealing the clothes at those prices.

I can't wait for my next shop at DFO Jindalee, I am incredibly impressed at how budget friendly it is. I hope this helped you guys in some way!

As always,

Maddie

Hello Beautiful, hard working people!

So today is the day I break some awesome news to you all and I am so excited. After seeing huge success from other ladies on Instagram of whom have created incredibly popular weekly hashtag challenges, I have decided to do the same thing.

I have been completely obsessed with the recent 'stripes' trend and it has been a perfect trend at work (kids love stripes) however I wanted to do a challenge that we could do on the weekend and not feel pressured about getting a shot up during the week. SOOOO....

Introducing #stripesonsunday I don't believe this has been done before, and if it has - whoops! But I am really driven to make this a fun and sucessful challenge where we can all join together in our love of fashion and (of course) stripes.

If you're keen to join in, thank you! But if you are keen to join in and can't think of what to wear for the first week of #stripesonsunday don't panic. I've got your back girl.

Ideas:

1. Going out to lunch with friends? Try this gorgeous striped blazer from 'The Iconic

2. Meeting a girlfriend at the cinema and still want to look classy? Try this stunning dress from Ally Fashion!

Can't wait to see your posts!

Yes, Yes I know I have raved about this a lot in the last year or so, but I am back to rave about it again. That is what happens when you come across a product you love.. right?

What is is?

Indeed Labs Nanoblur - The original blurring cream

How to use it

The fun thing about this product as it can be worn without, applied under, mixed with or over makeup! It is an incredibly unique product and very versatile which is why I like it.

Another fun fact that I discovered is that it can also be mixed in with other moisturisers for drier skin types or a dewier look.

How I use it

I mix the Nanoblur into my moisturiser as my skin is incredibly dry due to the change in weather recently, this creates a flawless, almost HD base for my makeup and it completely softens the look of any of my fine lines and wrinkles (I'm talking about those smile lines ladies).

More feedback

I love this product so much for a flawless looking face, I actually introduced my dad to it and gave him one of my (many) tubes. This product is colourless and therefore it is ideal for both men and women. My dad has had years of damage done to his skin from being on an Aircraft Carrier flight deck in hours of sun, wind and rain in the middle of the ocean for the majority of his life. This product COMPLETELY changed his outlook on 'using creams' and he loves how it reduces the appearance of his fine lines and wrinkles.

I would recommend this product to people of all ages, even though it claims to be a product marketed at the older generation. It really does give your face an HD effect, it's perfect to use before taking the perfect selfie!

Indeed Labs has really been a brand I have found myself reaching more and more for this year and truly believe it's because of the amazing results all of their products seem to create (and possibly because I've aged about ten years from just 6 months of teaching?).

This month I have been trialling a few of their products, such as the 'Exfoliator' and a lot of you guys have been asking me how I actually use it and here's how.

How to use

How you use the product is purely up to you, however it must be mixed. You can mix it in either with your favourite cleanser or body wash, or you can simply use water. How cool is that? Use as MUCH or as LITTLE as you want, the level of exfoliation in Indeed Lab's words is 'completely up to you!'

How I used it and my thoughts

My face has been the worst it has been in 2 years since coming off of my acne medication so I have been using it ever so gently on my face, as well as my legs as I have constant 'jean rash' from this colder weather. After just a week of receiving and using this product, my face is now soft, smooth and glowing. My acne marks and redness have all but vanished into thin air and my skin is almost re-newed and fresh!

Overall, although this product might appear scary at first, it's a win win in my books. As long as you know how to use it correctly, you'll have an almost 'Regenerated Doctor Who' type experience!
