THE CLASSICS...
BEAUTY REGIME
Having naturally combination skin, sadly I'm not immune to blemishes, which is why I try and maintain a really simple, but systematic beauty regime.
I never wear a lot of make up so clean and clear skin is most important. Recently, I've been starting my beauty routine with pHisohex facial wash to cleanse my skin.
What I love most about this daily cleanser is that it cleans and unblocks my pores (gently), without drying out my skin. It helps me maintain blemish-free skin.
If you're prone to break-outs, pHisohex is a good ph balanced product to try.

Next, I like to refresh my eye area with a great eye cream, Clinique is my brand of choice and helps tackle any dark circles. I love to keep this product refrigerated as this creates a lovely cooling effect on tired eyes.
A great tinted moisturiser is next and helps even-up my skin tone and also provides me with SPF skin protection throughout the day. Nars is my go-to because it is super light-weight and provides barely there, natural coverage.

Finally I complete my daily fresh-faced look with a splash of luminance thanks to YSL Touché Eclat, a sweep of bronzer (my Nars Laguna/Orgasm duo is a MUST), then a dash of Dior Addict gloss to protect my lips.
And that's my daily beauty regime - what are your beauty must-haves?

FRIEND IN FASHION x FRONT ROW STYLE
I was thrilled when invited by Front Row Style to select and style my new season favourites from their curated collection of Aussie designer fashion.
When shopping online, I tend to be drawn to great silhouettes, (case in point - this amazing split skirt), as well as bold statement pieces, like this cut out tank, or StyleStalker slogan sweater.
I also find myself drawn to a much more monochrome wardrobe lately, but can never pass on key splashes of colour.
All outfits available at Front Row Style.
MONOCHROME
Target Vest Dress, Lack of Colors Hat, YSL Clutch, Alex Perry heels, Target Floral Pants,
Viparo Leather Jacket, Birkenstocks, Target Wrap Skirt, Chanel purse

Recently I was invited by Target to pick my favourites from their new season collection to share with you.
As we inch closer to Autumn/Winter here in Australia, I find myself more and more drawn to a wardrobe of monochrome, which is reflected here in this blog post.
I'm definitely a summer girl, so my A/W wardrobe generally consists of great trans-seasonal pieces like this amazing vest-style dress, or wrap skirt, which I can wear as is, or easily layer with leather jackets, coats, tights and boots for the cooler weather. Versatility is key to my wardrobe.

PARTY READY
Today I bring you, my second LIFE with Bird party look to get you through this festive season. In my last post, I mixed things up with a little sports luxe (HERE), but now it's all about effortless glamour.
To me, there is something so romantic about a maxi skirt, and this incredible leopard print creates the perfect statement, worthy of turning heads.
Top off this look with a few key accessories and you've got a perfectly trans-seasonal party ready look. The hat is a perfect addition if you're out and about all day in the beautiful summer sunshine - on trend and sun-smart.
When: Saturday 7 December, 1pm - 4pm
Where: LIFE with BIRD, Chadstone Shopping Centre

FINISHING TOUCHES
Three of Something cami, YSL clutch via Reebonz, Balenciaga heels, Zara trousers
As I find myself drawn more and more to classic monochrome, I can't help but focus on key accessories when styling an outfit.
These Balenciaga heels (also seen here), were picked up on my recent visit to Rome and add a subtle splash of colour. I'm also a fan of patent finishes, particularly when it come to accessories, so I could't pass up this perfectly versatile clutch via my friends at Reebonz.
Reebonz is one of my online go-tos when I'm on the hunt for luxury items, and they are offering Friend in Fashion readers, an exclusive $50 voucher when you sign up to their website (here).
Happy shopping!
