My sister in law’s friend recently expanded her jewellery line ‘Ilya’s Honey’ to include an
online store, so I thought I would do a post to showcase some of her designs. Each piece is hand made once ordered and items can be shipped Australia wide for a flat rate fee of $9. I’ve selected 6 of my favourite pieces from her store to share with you all-
Note:
Ilya’s Honey are offering 10% off until May 4th for readers of the blog, just enter the code
BELLE10 at the checkout. Happy shopping!

During the week I received an email letting me know that my favourite preppy, cashmere-loving, ballet flat-wearing store
J Crew now ship to Australia. Not only that, but they’re offering free shipping to Australia until April 30th. J Crew didn’t bother to align this news with my pay week, so they’ve missed out on a massive happy-panic buying spree from me. Until next pay day you’re all more than welcome to buy me these things for autumn/winter –
PS: Guys, they have a god damn
ballet flat boutique. I want to marry this store and have little rainbow coloured cashmere cardigan babies.

There is something so satisfying about writing the word GIVEAWAY in caps lock. It’s exciting. Anyhoo, I digress. It is my 27th birthday this weekend, and I am choosing to celebrate by having a mild, internal panic attack, eating copious amounts of Mexican food, and spending too much money (much like any other weekend during the year really). I stumbled across
Francesca’s Collections after seeing
Michele1218 sporting one of their necklaces in a youtube video recently (I am single white femaling the heck out of that girl lately, it’s getting a bit weird) and fell in love with nearly everything on their site. So I bought some things.
I bought two of the above pictured watch, and to celebrate turning old I am going to give one away to say thanks to you all for sticking with me year after year. To enter the giveaway, simply comment on this entry and be sure to include your email address so that I can contact you if you are the winner (one entry per person please). This giveaway is open internationally and entries will close on December 13th, 2011. Good luck!

To all of my fellow Aussies out there, I’m sure you feel my pain right now. Autumn in Australia is a confusing thing. Unfortunately the weather doesn’t just automatically switch from BOILING HOT to relatively mild when the seasons change from Summer to Autumn. If anything, Summer decides to stick around for way too long like a family member overstaying their welcome. (Summer, you were wonderful on first arrival but now you’re annoying, please leave immediately.) This confused weather pattern creates something of a problem when deciding what to wear to work throughout the week. When I leave the house at the crack of dawn, it’s cold. Cold enough to wear stockings and a scarf. By the afternoon, it’s hot. Hot enough to melt the makeup off of your face and turn everything that you could have easily dealt with earlier that morning (like fellow commuters leaning on your back for an arm rest, or smacking you with their backpack as they walk down the aisle of the train) into the single most annoying things that could ever happen to you in your lifetime. Nevertheless I am still daydreaming of the cold weather and planning my Autumn/Winter purchases for this year, like these pieces from
Jacqui E…

In today’s ‘spotlight on’, I have selected 10 work-friendly pieces from the amazing online store
Modcloth. I often eye the goods over at Modcloth, but from what I’ve discovered recently if you are planning to order it might be a good idea to convince a friend to shop with you and split the shipping fees because the cost of postage to Australia is unusually high. Having said that I am yet to find another online store that carries so many pieces that suit my personal aesthetic. I think regardless of style, the work wardrobe options at Modcloth are endless.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I try to book one day off in December to dedicate to Christmas shopping. I happened to do this on Friday, and I also happened to spend more on myself than I did on presents. (well not really, but close to it…) I’m not too upset by the fact that I spent so much though, as everything I bought for myself was necessary in my mind. I’m good at justifying like that. I made
a little haul video on youtube talking about the items that I bought, and I’ve also included a picture of the Basque dress (aka my Christmas dress) that I bought a couple of weeks ago for those that are interested.
