Shades.

So lovely it is to be treated! Last week when we returned home after our holiday, I had a beautiful package waiting for me with my brand spanking new Emporio Armani sunglasses courtesy of Vision Direct. I've been doting on these ever since and being in the middle of Summer, they've been well used every day.

A little side note to express my excitement - as of this Friday my lovely friend Amanda from Here Comes The Sun will be having weekly contributors! How exciting! Every Friday a different topic, different contributor, and a fresh new tutorial, recipe or DIY project. Make sure you head on over to see the list of contributors :)

What a jam packed weekend it's been! We've been wandering the streets of Melbourne and stopped at way too many some incredible places that have THE most incredible food! More on that later on in the week though :)

I've been trying to slowly start getting a Christmas shopping list together to get organised. With the excitement of heading home for Christmas (only five more weeks till we are back in NZ!), I want to come home with some epic gifts, however with only being able to take 7kg carry-on each, we are going to be slightly limited on what we can actually get. So any ideas you might have that is going to be light-weight and small(er), please throw them my way! Has anyone already started their shopping??

Anyway, so I haven't done an outfit post in a while and thought it about time! I had to share this darling and simple black skirt I managed to pick up a couple weeks ago. Now you might think, wow that's a pretty standard skirt...but that's where your wrong! I've been looking HIGH and LOW for a skirt that actually reaches my knees. Is it just me, or are modest length skirts going extinct?? Every skirt I managed to find previously was way too short to feel comfortable wearing to work, so I was more than happy when I finally managed to find one! Sometimes I think I am the only one that struggles with this?

Best chill weekend. Our shipment from New Zealand arrived on Friday, so of course I had a blast going through all the boxes late into the night, personalizing our house a little bit more and making it feel like home. It was just such an incredible feeling going through our 'life' that has been in storage for nearly ten months and finding so many memories in there. Such a happy/sad moment as it made me rather homesick. Boo!

Today we managed to spend a lot of time outside, as the sun has decided to show it's lovely face again. Gave me a great opportunity to try out my new Ray Ban Sunglasses Cats 1000. I'm not used to bigger sunglasses, but when I saw these sunglasses with the awesome cats eye corners, I fell in love! Yup, this will be a regular pick for my summer days :)

Bring on summer with it's awesome bright sunny days!
P.S. Pretty darn happy to be wearing my jandals again too!

The Clubmaster.

 A couple of weeks ago a package arrived on my doorstep that I couldn’t have been more excited about. The sunglasses that I have adored for the past 6 months, has finally made its way into my hands.

The Clubmaster. Not only does it have a name that stands out above the rest, they are very chic in design and reign in quality. I have always wanted a pair of sunglasses that were more delicate in looks, without it being fragile, and The Clubmaster offers all that, with no doubts about their sturdiness or lifespan. They are my top choice from the Ray Ban collection!

So thank you to the sweet folk at Vision Direct for sponsoring me a pair of these! With such speedy service and quality product, I will be back for more!
