G:         I’ve always got some nude lipstick or balm in my bag and a compact face powder for touch ups during the day/after work if I’m heading out for a drink. 

J:          I always have some Carmex in my bag (I’m obsessed – my boyfriend even bought me bulk Carmex for my birthday) and my Miu Miu sunglasses – I love this style, I feel they work with almost any outfit and colour 

S:         I don’t leave the house without a tube of trusty Lucas Paw Paw ointment (the most versatile and soothing product ever) and of course my credit card – you never know what you’ll come across that you simply must have! 

Z:         I really don’t go anywhere without some business cards, they come everywhere with me – you never know when you’ll need one. I usually always have some tampons, even if they’re not for me, you never know when you’ll need to help a gal out. Also, my super handy mini sewing kit, were talking needle & thread, pins, bra strap, buttons etc. 

E:         Perfume is my handbag essential (GIVENCHY Very Irresistible is my favourite) and of course like the other girls, no one can stand dry lips - a Chap Stick.

Holy grail of tanning

We all know that there is a widespread belief that self-tan products make you look orange! Now by no means are we suggesting that none of them ever will make you appear in this way, BUT by choosing self-tanners suitable for your skin tones, and using correct application techniques your fears of looking like an oompa loompa will no longer exist!

Our sunless tanning winners are:

1. Bondi Sands Self Tanning foam – the perfect lightweight tan, enriched with aloe vera and coconut
2.  Loving Tan 2HR express tanning mousse – For us time poor individuals, this tan applies smoothly and dries quickly, developing in only 2 hours!
3. St Tropez Self tan bronzing mousse – For a long lasting, smooth tan, designed to appear 2-3 shades darker than your natural tone
4. Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel – Ideal if you desire a subtle golden colour! This product is non-oily and quick drying.

Entering into the summer months we all want that summer, flawless glow, without having to lie out in the sun for hours or appearing like a streaky mess. For best results here are a few tips on how to tan like an expert:

1. Exfoliate and shave before you let self-tanner anywhere near your body. Use a mild exfoliant to make sure you're sloughing off your dead skin cells before the self-tanner goes on. 
2. Stand between two mirrors to apply the self-tanner, so you can see exactly what you're doing. 
3. Be extra mindful of the knees, hands, elbows, feet, ankles and face. These are the areas where self-tanning mistakes show up most. Use a minimal amount of tanning lotion in these areas, and consider wearing latex gloves or a tanning mitt to apply it. 
4. Once you've applied your self-tanner, keeping your skin hydrated is the key to making it last. Apply lotion daily. 

How Carrie Bradshaw changed fashion

Can you believe it’s been 17 years since Sex and the City first aired on our televisions? As inspiration to thousands and thousands of women around the world, Charlotte, Miranda, Samantha and Carrie paved the way to a fashion revolution. 

Sex and the City was one of the first shows to portray women in their own form. Feminine, masculine, sexy, fun – you name it, they did it!

Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker was paramount in starting multiple fashion crazes around the world. Carrie’s fashion boundaries were limitless and some of her outfits definitely made you cringe, yet with her quirky sense of fashion and her obsession with shoes she always pulled it off and her sense of style became a huge feature of the series!

Here are some of our very favourite Carrie Bradshaw trends which the fashion world ate up:

THE FAMOUS NAME PLATE NECKLACE

OVERSIZE FLOWER BROOCHES SEASON

VINTAGE FUR OVERLOAD

TWO WORDS: MANOLO BLAHNI

CROP TOPS

Contouring for beginners - Guiding us to that Kim K flawless skin

Most of our favourite celebs have personal makeup up artists to paint on flawless skin on the daily, it's jealousy inducing and generally just rude to look that good going to morning brunch with the girl squad. 

We’ve thrown together a few of our favourite tips and products to help us keep up!

Contouring a face enhances the natural features. Dark colours re-define natural shadows under the cheek / jaw bones while lighter colours rest on top of the structures we want to push forward, like the check / brow bones. While daunting, if done correcting a perfect contour can slice into the natural face, slimming and making your check bones Angelina-esq.

The easiest method is to powder contour on top of our normal foundation. Dark warm tones for the shadows we want to create, and light shimmery colours for the highlights. Most counter makeup brands can hook you up with a single powder palette and brush to get you started. 

Youtube tutorials are amazing to help fill in some blanks and help get you on your way to Angelina cheek fantasy. 

The harder, more Kim K method is to cream contour. Using creams, rather then powders, makeup artists blend foundation colours on the face to achieve their contour, and then redefine further with powders. Its cheating really.

Accessorizing a Bohemian Chic Wardrobe

Top tips for polishing your Boho style

Famous for its wandering gypsy, natural, romantic, broken down and care free aesthetic Boho Chic has been a style of fashionable dress constantly re-invented and re-created.

The modern aussie boho girl blends her style with classic Boho elements and a coastal, beach aesthetic. Accessorizing can make or break a Boho wardrobe, heres a few key tips to polishing off your boho look.

Silver jewelry typically gives a more organic metal look finish, look for hammered metal bands, embossed prints and chunky set stones. Leather bands, beads, flowers, feather detailing and other natural elements keep a organic vibe flowing.  Bronze and Copper tones are equally amazing.

Textures are indicative of an unfinished look. Leathers, tasseling, tarnished metals and chunky settings push your traveling gypsy feel.

The more the better, gypsy girls love to accessorize. Don’t be afraid to stack a bangle or necklace.

Bright Blue Turquoise stones will make fabulous accent pieces to the earthy brown tones and washed whites we love. Set into silver, perfection.

A well traveled Boho girl has a wealth of cultural influences, look for cultural or religious signifiers. The australian boho girl is known for her beach inspirations. Shell embroidery and sandy tones paired with blue accents over a washed white loose dress, pulled over a bikini is what we love to see!

With the Boho look folding into common styling, don't be afraid to start at mainstream retailers in your search for the right accessories. Try shops that sell culturally specific styles and small boutiques for one off organic pieces.
