Glossi - online beauty website, great brands and great prices!

I love online shopping and have found another fantastic online website that sells great brands at great prices. I discovered Glossi about a year ago and it is the one website I will visit regularly.

Glossi is 100% Australian owned and operated.

With Glossi they sell well known beauty brands that we buy from department stores such as Revlon, Maybelline, Covergirl, Neutrogena, Loreal, Almay, Max Factor and more.

The prices on the products are excellent and you can save up to 70% off retail prices.

The website itself is so easy to use and you can browse through the products by brand or categories.

The Revlon quad shown above retails for $25.95, at Glossi it is $9.95 (saving of 62%) The Almay bright eyes as shown above retails for $19.95, at Glossi is is $9.95 (saving of 50%).

They often have special deals or clearances on items, you will definitely pick up great bargains.

Fashion looks - evening and daywear - with Lovestretch

Lovestretch is a online site founded by Gill Owen (a business woman and pilates teacher) who wanted to find non-restrictive clothing with style, quality and versatility. With this in mind, Gill sought out the best stretchwear brands from across the globe to create an online boutique offering stylish, chic and enduring fashion, which provides comfort throughout the day.

Sounds great - clothes that will fit comfortably! Lovestretch are running a fashion look competition, where you have to show which fashion looks you love. So I thought I would show you what great looks I found, as I was looking through the Lovestretch site.

The dresses, skirts, tops and jackets are all gorgeous, if I had to choose some, I always go for clothes that are free flowing and comfortable. Here are some great pieces I found:

For an evening look, I like a dress that is comfortable and that also has something different and unique about it. Shoes that are comfortable, yet classy and jewellery that will compliment the outfit:

Stretch Lace Maxi Dress - A scoop neck, button-through front and elasticated waist. It's a dress that can be worn for daytime or evening.
Silver and Crystal Drop earrings - Crystal drops with elegance
Sanita Safari Sandal - Handcrafted gorgeous flat clogs

For a daywear look, free flowing clothes that can be mixed and matched with different pieces in my wardrobe. Skirts that are easy to wear, paired with comfortable shoes, usually clogs I find are great if on the feet all day. A top and cardigan that will accomodate the weather, if warm a nice top that can be worn alone, and a cardigan to warm up with and still feel light and comfortable to wear.

Lace Wrap Cardi - This is another simple, stylish piece that can be worn with pants or a skirt.
V Neck 3Q Sleeve Top - A gorgeous, versatile top that can be worn on any outfit.
Dance Skirt - This is a simple, yet elegant skirt that could be worn just casually over leggings or dressed up with a gorgeous top.

Buckle Clogs - A classic clog with a decorative buckle.

Hope you enjoyed these fashion looks I put together from the Lovestretch site, which has many more fabulous fashion pieces that combine style, simplicity and quality.

What is your favourite fashion piece at the moment?

I also love that you can find really good bargains online.

Fashion Talk: Dresses - ASOS and IGIGI

I mostly wear dresses on special occasions like weddings, parties etc. But lately, I have made it a goal to update my wardrobe with some great versatile dresses, that I can wear during the day or at a more formal event. So it is dress shopping for me over the next few weeks.

With the release of ASOS online here in Australia, I checked it out and found some great dresses. The sizes range from a size 4-26. Affordable prices too!

I also discovered IGIGI that have some gorgeous and fashionable design dresses, sizes 12-32, and there are reviews that you can read about what people thought of the dresses. Excellent feature to have on a online shopping site.

There are so many great dresses, now I have to choose which one. I also haven't bought a dress from an online site before, just because I like to try it on before I buy. But I will soon and will let you know when I do!

Do you like dresses? Have you bought any from an online store?

You will love walking with Souls Massage Thongs

The one thing I love about summer is being able to wear thongs and go for long walks along the beach or park. To be able to do that, I need really comfortable thongs that won't hurt my feet and will feel comfortable.

So when I was sent the Soul Massage Thongs I was very excited. These thongs sound amazing and look very fashionable. They come in lots of different colours and sizes.  Soul Massage thongs mould to your feet and massage your feet as you walk. Amazing, love them!

Souls thongs say: The Souls footbed moulds to your feet as you walk and masseur bubbles act as pressure points to massage your feet and stimulate blood flow with every step. Souls are not only good for you but good for the environment. All Souls Massage Thongs are made from a combination of EVA foam and natural rubber, both recyclable products.

After trying these out I absolutely love them. The massage feeling you get from these thongs is really soft and relaxing on the foot, so it doesn't hurt but rather feels really nice and comfortable, exactly what I want from thongs.

As soon as I put them on the bubbles feel soft on my feet and after a few seconds my feet got use to them. I have been wearing these around the house and they feel great, especially when my feet get sore if I put these on it's just like getting a foot massage only easier. The soles of the thongs have great grip on them making them easier to walk in and less likely to slip over.

Soul Massage Thongs are made for men, women and children and come in lots of different colours and styles.

They are affordable at $17.95aud for adults and $14.95aud for children. They are available online at Souls Thongs check them out.

I highly recommend the Soul Massage Thongs, they are fantastic for everyone (hubby and my kids want them too!) and your feet will really love them!

Do you like wearing thongs? Do these massage thongs appeal to you?

Fashion Talk: It's all about colour

I love colour! Colour can really liven up a outfit or add some style and class to your wardrobe. Spring fashion is here in Australia and it is all about colour, which I am super excited about.

Experimenting with colour can be so much fun! You can add a pop of colour to black pants and a black top with a pink jacket or a beige cardigan. Maxi dresses are gorgeous in colours paired with neutral colour shoes.

 Are you a colour person? Do you wear bright colours or do you stick to darker colours?

Wedges - my shoe shopping wishlist!

I love comfortable shoes, yes I like heels but I can't seem to wear them for long before my feet start to get sore. I am not a very tall person in fact I am quite short so a bit of height is definitely to my advantage when it comes to shoes.

My latest shoe obsession is wedges! I have tried on a few pairs in stores and love them. They feel comfortable and give me some height - perfect.

So here is a wishlist of the wedges I like - I have so many that I can't make up my mind on which ones to get. I have been looking at Westfields online shopping site and this is what I have found.

These wedges I like for their elegant look, they are from Tony Bianco from Wanted shoes  $149.95aud

These wedges I like for everyday wear (preferrable in a black) as they aren't too high, they are from Midas $148aud

These wedges I like for a dressier outfit, they are from Novo priced at $79.95aud

These are just a few that I have my eye on, I might do some more wishlist shopping before I find the right pair and buy them!

Have you tried or bought any wedge shoes? Do you prefer them over heels?

Shopping: Toy Spectacular sale at Big W

I love sales! I buy most items when they are on sale. You save so much and there are great bargains to be found too. So when I saw the Big W Toy Spectacular sale, you know I will be there. I love going through on line or looking through catalogues to make a list of all the items needed and of course seeing as this is a toy sale, my two children had their little wishlists ready!

My eight year old saw the Cars 2 movie recently and loves the characters. So on his wishlist was some of the Cars toys which Big W have a great variety to choose from.

He loves his remote control cars, so they are a must and he has been enjoying a lot of Lego toys so a Lego Cars 2 is a great addition to his collection. He will be reviewing his toys on World for Kids - so be sure to follow him to find out what he thinks of them.

My twenty two month old girl loves dancing and cuddly toys. So her wishlist has some great musical and plush toys.

She will love the Leapfrog plush toy 'My Pal Violet' who is half price, excellent value - it has so many different sounds and music she will love it. The Dora the Explorer Rock and Roll musical set is something I have wanted to buy her for a while as she really loves music. The Disney Princess Rapunzel from the Tangled movie is perfect for her because she loves the movie Tangled.

There are some great buys and bargains and a huge range to choose from - you definitely won't want to miss out on the Big W Toy Spectacular sale, you can check them out online or instores.

Have you started your toy sale shopping yet? Do you buy presents for children, nieces/nephews, grandchildren at the toy sales now?

Sequins and Sand - online shopping for all your swimwear needs!

I recently discovered an online summer fashion site that I wanted to tell you about as it offers women a fantastic selection of resortwear and swimwear, it is called Sequins and Sand.

I was interested in this site as I find shopping for swimwear is the hardest fashion clothing to shop for. I’m just really fussy when it comes to choosing swimwear as I am sure a lot of women are too.

The Sequins and Sand website offers a great range of colours, style and variety in swimwear and accessories for sizes 10-22.

The founder Anita McLachlan was frustrated at the lack of suitable swimwear that catered for women of all sizes and age so she started the site Sequins and Sand.

Anita says ‘Instead of sticking to just one or two cover-ups, we have an exceptional variety in kaftans, swimwear, summer dresses, summer basics and hard-to-find pieces to suit all body shapes. Each item is hand picked for its fabric, fit and flexibility'.

Sequins and Sand is a online website that is easy to navigate and reasonably priced. There are lots of styles to choose from and a great range of products like Swimdresses, Bikinis, Sarongs, Rash Vests, Jewellery, Beach bags and so much more.

They ship worldwide and have a returns policy that is easy to follow.

So if you find it hard to find the right swimwear and want something that is great quality and style check out their website Sequins and Sand, they are also on Facebook, Twitter and You Tube.

Do you find it difficult to buy swimwear?

My sixteen month old daughter is into everything at the moment. She loves exploring and playing with her toys. When I was sent the Issie security blankets from Aden + Anais to review, I was excited to see her reaction.  She loves anything that is colourful, and interesting and is really enjoying the Issie security blankets.

Issies are made from aden + anais’ signature fabric – natural cotton muslin – and playfully designed in our exclusive, modern prints.  Natural cotton muslin is breathable and our open weave construction allows liberal airflow for even the youngest baby.  Designed to be portable and just the right size to cuddle up with, our Issies measure 40cm x 40cm. Each pack contains two identical Issies, one for the wash and one for snuggling up with.  Available in several different patterns.  

Aden + Anais  Issie security blankets are excellent, the muslin material is beautiful and soft, really gentle to handle. Aden + Anais also have many other great products like the muslin swaddles, sleeping bags, dream blankets and many more.  The Aden + Anais website is easy to use and there is everything you need to know about what they sell, definitely check them out http://www.adenandanais.com.au/  If you have children yourself, or if you are looking for a present for family or friends these are great.
