Hi Everyone!

Today's post is an outfit of the day! 

I absolutely love this outfit.

Its's so casual, playful and super comfortable!

Great for spring and summer!

Shirt: Supre- This top is so comfortable and soft!

I love the colors and the font of the text!

Skirt: vintage sale- I bought this old, vintage levis skirt

at a fashion event at the start of the year and it's probably 

the best skirt i'v ever owned!

Cardigan: Cotton On- I stole this cardigan from my mum 

because it fits me like an oversized knit, it's so fluffy and warm,

definitely a staple item in my wardrobe!

Rings: Colette By Colette Hayman- i have collected a bunch of these

stack-able rings over the last year or two. I like to pair these with

most of my outfits. So simple and they add a little 

something to every outfit!

Watch: Wallace Bishop- I got two of these watches for my birthday this year,

one black and gold and one white and gold.

They go with pretty much everything!

Necklace:Colette By Colette Hayman- This chunky gold chain 

is probably my most worn piece of jewelry of all time!

It goes with almost everything and I love it so much! 

Shoes: Rubi shoes- I absolutely love these shoes!

 They're so comfy, casual and affordable, at $30, 

you could pair them with almost everything is your wardrobe!

Great for summer festivals!

I will probably wear this outfit a lot in the spring and summer time

Review - They're Real Mascara And Dior Show Art Pen Liner.

Good evening everyone!

Today's post is a review on

 They're Real Mascara And Dior Show Art Pen Liner.

Firstly, They're Real mascara.

I was doing my research (as I do with all the products I buy)

and the they're Real Mascara looked good, it was ranked very high on many top

mascara reviews and

I though it was a fair price, at around 35 AUD, so I gave it a go!

To me, the brush was a typical thick brush with smaller bristles. 

I don't usually go for these types of wands but it looked promising!

The formula also looked fairly thick. 

I put it on one eye, all seemed good. I was impressed!

It was a little thick but it was workable. 

The picture above is one quick coat.

If this was the result every time I would more than likely use it everyday!

But then, I did the other eye, and it turned into a total disaster!

I was doing the exact same thing as before and

it went all gluggy and gross.

It was so so thick and it literally looked like I had 3 eyelashes.

After separating the eyelashes and coating my bottom lashes,

I could feel my top and bottom eyelashes getting

stuck together at the outer edge.

I know some girls like this look and would think I'm crazy

for giving this product a negative review, but it just didn't work for me.

Now, onto the good stuff!

The Dior Show Art Pen eyeliner is probably the best that has ever

been in my makeup collection!

The picture above is what the actual liner looks like. 

Because it's like a pen, it so easy to apply! 

Even if you don't have a steady hand!

I've had this liner for about 48 hours and I can already apply 

it so quickly, its ridiculous!

The super fine tip lets you get right into the inner corner 

and also lets you created thin cat eye flicks !

I'm so glad I bought this eyeliner! 

I love it so much!

 It is on the high end side of makeup, 

so it's a little pricey,

 but you get what you pay for in my opinion!

Thanks for reading and 

I hope this helped anyone looking into these two products!

until next time!

My Favourite Up-coming Trends - Spring 2014 Edition

Spring is just around the corner!

This post will show you my favourite trends that are up and coming 

for Spring 2014. All of my pictures are sourced from pinterest using the tag 

'spring style'.

Spring is my second favourite season,

 (Winter will forever have my heart!)

I love the cute baby animals, the smell of fresh flowers 

and mostly the fashion.

I love how easy and casual you can make your outfit, 

but you can also dress it up simply to look 

elegant and flawless.

Here are some of my favourite new trends:

Maxi skirts were made to be paired with plain lace tops!

It looks so effortlessly elegant!

I love how she paired her maxi with a crochet crop 

and nude heels. 

So flirty and fun! 

Play-suits come in all shapes and sizes. 

My personal favourite is the long pant style!

Her tan bag and nude heels pull her outfit together perfectly

and her hat and sunglasses finish off her look flawlessly.

The bralette underneath adds a beautiful feminine touch.

Big patterns are totally in at the moment,

especially this big blown out leopard print.

I have seen it everywhere in all different colors,

the blue is definitely a favourite of mine!

The gold and black accessories are a perfect choice for this outfit!

Layering and Kimonos are a must for spring!

If it's just going into spring where you are,

layering different textures and colors

can improve your outfit so much and make it comfortable 

for your climate.

If it's too cold, throw a light kimono on,

if it's too hot, roll it up and chuck it in your bag!

Adding a kimono to a plain outfit can add 

some color and comfort to your outfit!

A plain skirt and a plain top.

So simple, yet so elegant.

Choosing the right skirt that fits your body shape 

can make you look so flawless without even trying!

Her shoes look like they have some kind of

embellishment on them,

adding that extra bling the outfit needed!

My advice?

Keep it simple and don't over dress!

Same simple idea but

for a more casual look:

Switch heels for sandals and let your hair out!

It can make a huge difference!

These are my favourite up-coming trends for Spring 2014.

I hope you like my tips about styling these looks at home.

Chic Bolt Bracelet!

Holla! 

When I was looking through the popular page on my Instagram,

 I saw this super cute bolt bracelet. 

And i thought, that would be so fun and easy to make!

So, today's post is a tutorial on how to make an Industrial inspired bolt bracelet!

What you will need :

- 1 pack of small bolts. 

I purchased mine at the local hardware store

 and they were $5.85 for a pack of 100.

-1  pack of black/white elastic (4 meters)

I purchased this at the dollar store for $2.

-Scissors 

How to : 

Depending on the amount of bolts you want to put on each rung,

40cm - One per rung. 

50cm - Two per rung.

60cm - Three per rung.

Cut your elastic to your desired size. 

Making sure the bolts are in the middle of the elastic, 

start threading the bolts through the elastic.

One side of the elastic through the right side, 

And the other through the left. 

Pull both sides of the elastic through evenly. The bolts should look like the picture above and also should be in the center of the elastic. 

Its important it has a small loop at the start, before the bolts.

Continue this step until the bracelet wraps around your wrist.

Make sure the bracelet is pulled tight each time you thread the bolts through.

I alternated which way the bolts faced, to give it an uneven effect.

Once the all the required bolt are threaded onto the elastic,

 pull both sides really tightly so that there is no gaps between the rung of bolts.

Tie a tight double knot. 

Thread one side of the elastic through the loop 

where we started to make the bracelet and tie a triple knot.

Now it should look like a bracelet! 

Cut off the excess elastic and

stretch the bracelet out so its all the bolts are evenly spaced out. 

And there we have it ! 

A chic, industrial inspired bracelet that shine in the sunlight!

I would pair this bracelet with gold, silver and black bracelets, watches and rings. 

It's Great for layering Jewelry too !

It's so cheap and easy to make, at a total cost of $7.85, 

it makes about 3 bracelets. 

It honestly would be silly not to make it ! 

if you decide to make with wonderful bracelet, 

post it on instagram and hashtag #chasemystyle

so I can see your recreation! 

Thanks for reading and

Until next time..

Sexy Brown Smokey Eye Tutorial!

Holla Friends! 

This weeks post is a tutorial on how to achieve a sexy dark brown smokey eye shadow look!

It's super easy to recreate at home!

The palette I used to create this look was the NYX 'Love In Paris' 9 color palette in 'Parisian Chic'.

It has 4 matte colors and 5 sparkly ones. 

They're all so wearable so none go to waste!

I highly recommend buying this palette if you're on a budget and are looking for a beautiful combination of colors that are all usable on a daily basis. 

Lets get to it!

Before applying any eyeshadow, put an eyeshadow/face primer all over your lids.
This is ensure that all of your eyeshadow will stay all on all day long!

If your eyeshadow tends to crease throught the day, applying an eyeshadow base will help it to not crease.

Apply a light brown shadow all over your lids and into the crease of your eyelids. 

Make sure its blended out so its nice and soft looking. 

A neat trick when doing a darker eyeshadow look is to get a strip of sticky tape,
get most of the stickiness off the tape by pressing it onto the back of your hand,
and stick it in line with the bottom of your eyelid and the tail of your eyebrow.
It makes applying the shadow easier and creates a sharp edge when taken off.

Apply a gold sparkly shadow to the center of the lids.

Apply a darker brown to the crease and outer 'V' of the eyelids. 

Make sure that this is blended out super good so there's no harsh lines.

 Apply more gold or dark brown if you feel like you've lost the intensity of the color when blending.

Because this is a brown smokey eye, I used a dark brown gel eyeliner, but it would also look good with a black eyeliner.

 Slowly peel away the tape and add some more foundation/powder to the area where it was.
Apply a generous coat of mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

And we're done!
To compliment this look, i went with a nude lip balm that has little light reflecting specks in it.
So when it hits the light it sparkles.

 A strong contour would look stunning with this look also!


I love this look so much!
It would look amazing with a simple black dress or a black top, jeans and black booties!
