fall clothing essentials!!

Welcome back everybody!! In Australia, we have just come into autumn/fall! I love this time of the year because all the leaves turn orange and I get to rock a whole new look!! I have come up with 8  fall clothing essentials which I believe are a necessity!!

First up I have my booties!! I love these so much. They are so simple and can spice up any outfit. I wore these to death last year! You can pair them with stockings, jeans, anything!! I love the small heel and the little logo in the corner. These boots are from windsor smith and here is the link to them: http://www.windsorsmith.com.au/metz-140154

Next is a fairly new purchase, my white jeans!! I have wanted to get some white jeans for the longest time, I just never got around to getting a pair! I wanted a pair that had rips on the knees and stopped before my ankle. These are 7/8 which means they are shorter than the average. The stretch in these jeans is unbelievable!! You can wear these jeans with anything!! Whether it's a grey turtleneck, a flannel, a black croptop, either way you'll look amazing! I bought these from cotton on, the link is right here: http://cottonon.com/AU/p/cotton-on-women/the-skinny-high-rise-78-jean/2024120012109.html?region=AU#region=AU&start=1

This one is a favourite!! It is my one and only adidas originals jumper! This jumper is my life. It's a necessity for fall, as it is so versatile. It will match with anything, either jeans, leggings, the occasional tracksuits. I love how this jumper isn't two thick, so you can layer under or over it. The jumper is a little baggy on me, which is what I waned. I purchased this jumper at adidas, couldn't find a link online but I'm sure if you visited a local sport store or adidas store you would be able to find it.

Now, an accessory! This bag is the cutest thing ever!! I love the bright colours and the bit of tan leather. This bag is the perfect statement piece for any outfit. Also, it's the perfect size, it will fit any phone and some money. I love using this bag! Unfortunately I bought this bag in Thailand :( so it might be a bit hard to find!

THIS IS MY HOLY GRAIL!!! My denim jacket is my baby, I love it so much! You may known that at the moment the whole 'baggy denim jacket' has been bought back in style. This jacket is so comfy and I love how it can dress up or down any outfit! It has little rips on the sleeves and back for a great effect! It is perfect for those chilly nights where you want to wear a dress but know your arms will freeze! You can experiment with this jacket, mix things up! I bought this from the brand sunny girl! They don't have their own shop they are wholesalers so make sure to check out their website: http://www.sunnygirl.com/au/

Now we have something for those warmer autumn days.... which is my wonderful suede tan skirt!! I love this skirt, well I'm actually a bit obsessed with the colour tan lately!! This skirt is so soft and so stretchy! It's one of those staples you can make fancy or casual. I usually pair it with a grey turtleneck, flowy white shirt, basically anything white, black or grey! I bough this from supre, here is the link: http://www.supre.com.au/p/button-down-skater-pockets-skirt/2100000143887.html?region=AU#prefn1=countrySpecificMarkets&pmin=0&prefv1=AU&region=AU&start=1

For those fancier evenings. I have this gorgeous romper. I love the little detailing on the top and how it's off the shoulder. This would look great with tights underneath and boots, or a denim jacket, maybe even some heels. I love wearing this jumpsuit! I got this from Supre and it was on sale!! here is the link: http://www.supre.com.au/p/jessie-off-shoulder-playsuit/2100000131402.html?region=AU#pmax=21&sale=true&pmin=0&region=AU&start=1

Lucky last!! This grey turtleneck! How is this not perfect?! I love this so much!! It is really great with a white, black, tan, denim skirt, or white jeans. It will look great with anything. Also turtlenecks are great to layer! Throw a denim jacket over it, tie a black sweatshirt around your waist, and you'll look a hundred bucks!! This turtleneck was unbelievably cheap and I purchased it from Valleygirl. The website doesn't show much, but I'm sure you would be able to find it in store!!

I hope you all really enjoyed this post and have some inspiration for fall looks!! We will be posting a fall lookbook shortly, so keep your eye out for that!! See you next sunday,

what I got for my birthday 2016 + present ideas

hellooooooooo,
Welcome back guys. I hope you are having an amazing day, but if your not I hope this post makes you the tiniest bit happier. Anyway, recently it was my birthday and I had the such a good day. We celebrated with so many people in many ways. I'm so grateful to everyone who got me presents and I love everything so much. Just before we get into some of my main presents in detail, I just wanted to say the typical disclaimer that I'm not trying to brag. I was just hoping that you could get some inspiration out of it, as you might need help buying someone a present and since my family and friends did such a good job in picking presents I would love to share them with you.
So my main present was a nutribullet and I was so happy to receive this as I have wanted one for so long. You might not know but I am really interested in experimenting with different types of food and I really want to start incorporating smoothies into my diet as a healthier option.
Another one of my main presents was a handbag from colette and this one is perfect. It is just the right size and looks incredible. If you do get stuck trying to find someone a presesnt I highly recommend you taking a look in colette.
Next is the happy bathday gift box from lush. If you are a massive lush addict like me, this is a perfect present. It comes in the cutest tin with 5 products inside (I think haha).
The Victoria Secret "More is Merrier" kit was another present I received. I still can't get over how amazing this is. It comes with mini sizes of body lotion and shower gel of every Victoria Secret scent. I was over the moon when I unwrapped this.
Last present that I am going to talk about are the Pandora rings. These are ideal gifts that every girl will most likely enjoy. They come in a number of different designs and I was lucky enough to receive 2. They are absolutely beautiful rings and I highly recommend you getting one.
So those are a few of the presents I wanted to talk about. As I stated previously I am so grateful for everything I got and I hope you guys got something out of this post too. Thanks for taking time out of your life to read this, it really means a lot.
Love you lots,

whats in my beauty case?

Welcome back everybody! For today's post, I will be showing you what I keep inside this wonderful beauty case. I received this beauty case for christmas and it can be found at Priceline and Target. I was looking around for a beauty case (as I have way too much makeup)  for a while, and I couldn't seem to find the perfect one. But when I opened this baby on christmas day I fell in love! It is the perfect size and can store lots of things inside. There is 5 different compartments. So without further ado; here's my beauty case!

This is what the outside looks like. It is mainly black with sliver trimmings, there is a handle on the top (which is very handy!) I love how it's so simple and sleek.

When you first open the latch, you are met with 2 compartments. On the right, I store most of my face products, including; bb cream, concealer, foundation, etc.

On the right I store my eye products, such as: mascara, eye liner, and for some reason an unopened bb cream (it didn't fit it the other one!).

Next when you lift these 2 compartments up you are met with another three!!

In the third and fourth compartment I keep all my lipsticks, gloss, and crayons:

In the biggest compartment, which is at the bottom, I keep all my eyeshadow palettes, compact powder, blushes, highlighter, bronzers, etc.

So this is the end of my blog post! I hope you enjoyed this and if you have any questions (like where things are from), leave a comment and I'll get back to you!! 

Love carly&lauren. xxx
