  • I have been dying to add a pair of camo pants to my wardrobe since the trend took off. While they are in abundance online, I always struggled to find some instore for me to try on to be sure they weren't going to look ridcuiulsy baggy and unflattering on me. So when I saw this pair from Ava and Ever in City Beach, I didn't even hesitate to pick up a pair and head straight to the change rooms. The second I put these on I knew these were going to become my go-to pants for the winter. The tighter fit around the waist means they give a flattering shape, they're comfy as hell and the pattern means your outfit instantly goes from nothing to something with no effort. I've worn these at least once every weekend since I've got them and they're going to be the centre piece for my next festival outfit. Here I've paired them with this top I brought from Cotton On and cropped myself and this gun-metal grey chain necklace to add a grunge, but a little glam, to the look. All I want to do now is buy more cargo pants to add to my wardrobe to wear all winter long.

    I've always been a fan of the John Frieda brand because they make hair products for a variety of hair types and situations that work well and don't cost an arm and a leg. Their most recent collection is the Luxurious Volume line which, as you can probably gather from the name, aims to give your hair some lasting volume that doesn't make your hair feel heavy and untouchable. 


    This conditioner contains a Protein-Strength Complex which aims to help give your hair fullness while still detangling and conditioning.  Due to my hair being colour treated, I find I can't use this every wash otherwise my hair does start to dry out a little to much, but if I'm looking to add a little extra volume for a day or night look, this is definitely something I find myself reaching for. The clear colour of the conditioner still trips me out and intrigues me, but overall it certainly lives up to it's name of giving volumised hair and I would recommend if you're looking for something to give you a little bit of an extra lift without much effort.


    This shampoo also contains the same Protein-Strength Complex and aims to give your hair, no matter how thin, a bunch of volume while still feeling soft. If you're looking for ultimate volume and don't have hair that has a tendency to be dry like mine, then using this is in combination with the conditioner will certainly be a winner. As someone who is forever combating dryness in my hair I have to avoid using these two in combination, otherwise my hair won't be feeling soft and touchable. That said, using this in combination with my usual conditioner still helps to leave my hair feeling nice and clean and adds a little extra volume.


    Core Restore Protein Volumiser
    I love testing out products like this that you use once you've jumped out of the shower because I feel this is where the real magic happens, or doesn't. This product aims to strength your hair fibres to leave your locks feeling soft, while also infusing your hair with a Protein-Strength Complex to help add some strength back into your hair while also giving it some volume. This complex is heat-activated, so pop this stuff in before you start blow drying and styling, and it also claims to be safe for colour-treated hair. I always use a product like this in conjunction with a heat protectant just to be safe, and I have to say my hair certainly feels a little better when using this than it does without, which is usually the case for my hair when it comes to products like this. So if you're like me and need something to help combat your dryness before you start styling, but you don't want your hair falling completely flat on your head, give this stuff a whirl.

    You know when you just walk into a store and you have to have the clothing item hanging on the rack; that was my reaction when I saw both this t-shirt dress in Cotton On and this pleather jacket from Arrow and Sol . These two clothing items scream me, and even more so when I pair them together. I've also added this bag from The Lair; this was my first ever bag purchase from them, and even after a couple of years of use it's still standing strong and I still love it.

    If you've been following me on Instagram then you would know that last weekend Rubi, the brand that has been bringing us killer kicks for years, has now launched their own jewellery range. If you're looking for either simple, statement or trendy pieces in a range of metals and vibrant colours, that also won't make your bank account sad, then you have to check it out. I was able to get my hands on a few of the pieces including their Double Hoop Bar Tassel Earrings, the Runway Tassel Statement Earrings and this beautiful layered necklace (I couldn't find the online link).

    The earrings are something I wouldn't usually go for, but as I've been wearing them I've found myself loving them more and more. I'm also all about layered necklaces at the minute - the perfect lazy girls way to look like you've put thought in to your accessory combinations.
