Robecca and Haeme VS St Ives.

So just before H-bone took off to Londontown we were sent some St Ives Products to test out. And BOY did we have fun!

Here we are looking extra sad about our faces being all lame and un-cleansed. 

To start with, we both washed our faces with the Green Tea Cleanser. It's really nice and refreshing! ( Like REALLY).

The I used the Green Tea Scrub (these links attached to the name of the products take you to the St Ives website. Where you can buy it FYI).

Here's a fun GIF of me washing my face with the scrub.

Haeme then used the Invigorating Apricot Scrub to scrub her face.

  

It's actually pretty hard to say which one was either of our fav. They all felt and smelt really, really nice and weren't too rough on our skin. 

Both of us have pretty similar skin tones; T-zone prone to be a little oily and 

the forehead area can get a little dry. ESP in winter, and afterwards both of us felt like our skin was so fresh feeling!  I noticed that my skin felt really soft after and stayed soft for days after. 


Look how positively stoked we look at how great our skin feels! Yeah! 

That is all from moi for now. Happy mid week ya'll! xxx R

Ham is suuuuuuuch a QT.

Amazing spaces

I love looking into other people's houses and homes - there's something fascinating about how people decorate their own space. Here are a few pictures of what's right up my alley... Fingers crossed that one day I get to do this to my own place. Sigh... x H

 

 

That last one? It's a freaking bathroom! Imagine doing all your bathroom-y stuff in that room! You'd actually take the longest showers in history. Amazing.

Brooke Candy

What do we all think about miss Brooke Candy?

Are you wondering who the hell this crazy-ass girl is?
WELL you may recognize her from this:

That's right.
 She's that crazy angry looking space girl - that doesn't quite look human in the Grimes Genesis video.

As I am sure with most people who watched this video- she caught my eye, I mean it's hard NOT to notice her. A friend of mine said that she looked like the stuff of nightmares; and while I couldn't exactly disagree, she was totally fascinating none the less, and I needed to google her.

Recently she's been coming into her own, as a rapper.
Dazed magazine co-produced this video:

She's really grown on me. I quite dig this song, and I think she's cool. A front runner for the sexually agressive female rapper. Which is pretty post-feminist if you ask me.

I see what Grimes is so obsessed with.

Winter coats

It was POURING down in Auckland last night! It's been so long since this has happened that it actually woke me up (and trust me, I can sleep through anything) and kept me up for a while... It's fiiiiiinally time to layer up! I love the winter cold as much as Robecca hates it, mainly because I can just snuggle into the pile of clothes I've put on that morning and pretend I'm in a cocoon (i.e. still in bed). Plus my office at uni cranks up the aircon like the building is about to melt into goo all summer so winter is when they finally tone down and I can actually feel my face again - ironic much?

Anyway, here are my top six picks for a winter coat. By that, I mean, I need six new winter coats. Sigh...

1.  YMC Twiggy Coat

2. APC Manteau Geant Camel Wool Coat

 3. ASOS Contrast Bomber Coat

4. Gloverall Heritage Duffle Coat

5. Huffer Agent Jacket and Anorak (technically two things... aaaand not coats.)

6. Vanishing Elephant Banff Coat

CLASH boutique

So I'm never in Newmarket because I'm a broke ass bitch. Newmarket is more Haeme's thing (mainly because she doesn't keep maxing out her funds by flitting back and forth from Auckland and Melbourne).

ANYWAY the point I'm trying to make is that I now have a reason to go to Newmarket! This shop is so super rad-tastic and they sell Boy London! I LOVE Boy London! And their latest campaign is based the album London Calling by The Clash which I love even more!

Check out this awesome fashion video:

......and here are some uber cool stills:

If you know anything about my style, then you know that this whole concept is right up my ally, especially because 


On a side note, I was super impressed to find out that one of the models from the shoot, Kat Glass (the brunett), had a hand in the PR, is an accomplished actor and has her own theater company! I love hearing about other creatives taking Auckland by storm! You should check out her cool, little website

Happy mid week times! xx R

Napoleon Perdis Life.Style opens in Melbourne

I was sadly un-able to attend the launch of the new Napoleon Perdis Life.Style store in Melbourne. I was sent some awesome pics by my friends at Go Lightly PR. The event it'self looked so fun and the shop itself is brillant! I'm so gutts I couldn't attend, especially because I love that brand!

“Melbourne was a natural choice for my second store, the shopping experience is

so diverse and the consumer is very discerning. I think that Melbourne will really

embrace my new concept!” -Napoleon
