We had a meeting this week to just catch up after the holiday break. First things first let’s check out Renee’s nails this week. Don’t you just love this shade of green? Sometimes the el cheapos just out perform themselves!

We just need to put it out there – our meeting wasn’t in the most stylish of hang outs – we met up at McDonalds or as us Aussie’s call it Maccas!

In preparation for Australia Day later this month, Maccas have got some Aussie influence on their menu. So we tried out the Fanta Frozen McFloat in Passionfruit flavour. Basically it’s a Passionfruit slurpee with soft serve on top – Yummy!

Our fellow Aussie’s give it a go 🙂

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!

You could say that Renee is pretty well known for her nails! She’s always trying new and exciting things with them. Sometimes they are the only pop of colour in her all black ensemble 🙂

This week her nails have a side of caviar to see what it looked like. The lovely Karen at Burnside Beauty & Nails used Ciaté Caviar polish in black pearl for this design. Karen hasn’t used it before so they were both experimenting.

This design was done on her right hand which is her dominant hand and her pen would sit against the inside of that nail, which is how she thinks she lost most of the caviar balls. Other than that, they have lasted much better than she was expecting.

Next time she’ll ask Karen to apply it thicker and Renee will just have to avoid any handwriting while she’s wearing it 🙂

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!

Hi everyone – it’s Renee here for this post.

Many years ago, my friends and I would play ‘The handbag game’. All us girls would rummage around our handbags, searching for things starting with each letter of the alphabet. The girl with the most letters won. It was a completely pointless game, but it entertained us during many boring moments, waiting for public transport, a round of drinks or filling lapses in conversation.

So today I played ‘The handbag game’ with my work bag…..

I’m pleased to find that 10 years later, my bag no longer holds many of the questionable items it used to, however I clearly haven’t learned how to tidy my bag out regularly.

Here’s my list (some creative licence allowed):

  1. Apple phone case
  2. Black scarf
  3. Cough drops
  4. Drugs (completely legal and boring I’m afraid)
  5. Eclipse gum
  6. Fan
  7. Green nail polish
  8. Hair clips, ties and pins
  9. Inhaler
  10. Jupiter saxophone mouthpiece
  11. Keys
  12. Lip gloss
  13. Max Factor lipstick
  14. Napolean Perdis powder compact
  15. Orange nail polish
  16. Pencil case
  17. Quick fix instrument repair kit
  18. Rhythm restoration business cards
  19. Sunglasses
  20. Triangle beater
  21. Used spoon
  22. Vandoren reeds
  23. Wallet
  24. Xtra pens and pencils
  25. Yellow post it notes
  26. Zovirax

Have a great day everyone!

Happy Hump Day! It’s Amour here – I’m busy packing my suitcase and hand luggage in preparation for my flight tomorrow to the Philippines. I’ve got to get to sleep soon cause it’s a 4am wake up call in the morning…booo!

So since my handbag was looking so lovely and organised I thought I’d share with you the contents….Just so you know it weighs a tonne!

Amour's 'Saks' Handbag

Filled with all my essentials….

Now when you open up my The Sak handbag there are two items (btw my mummy bought me this bag at a garage sale for $5!):

  • My bag organiser that I got for $2 at my recent garage sale hopping adventures
  • And my Little Twin Stars pouch

So the pouch holds my purple Sony Cyper-shot (Carl Zeiss T99) camera and it’s charger. I just gotta keep it safe in the cutest way possible! If you don’t know me I’m a typical asian with a camera *snap snap snap* I guess I’m just Amourazzi – hmmmm I think I just found myself a new nickname!

Little Twin Stars Pouch

Holds my camera and it’s charger…

And then we come to my bag organiser – looks deceivingly light and empty – but it lies…

Cherryblooms Bag Organiser

Cherryblooms Bag Organiser

Well here are its contents!

Contents of my Bag Organiser

Hmmm I wonder if i can fit anything else in there…

  1. Bag Organiser – from Cherryblooms
  2. Kindle e-Reader – I’m reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
  3. My notebook – for jotting down ideas and the odd doodling
  4. Passport holder – from Urban Originals
  5. My passport – can’t leave home without this one!
  6. My iPhone 4s – This is my Australia phone and I seriously don’t know how I ever lived without this little beauty!
  7. myphone swarovski phone – This is my Philippines phone, so that my hubby can text me without the nasty international rates
  8. Fold-able fan – from the Philippine Eagle Farm in Davao City, Philippines – it’s really hot in the Philippines so I gotta keep my cool somehow 🙂
  9. Hand sanitiser – Tuberose & Jasmine from Nougat London
  10. Hand cream – Tuberose & Jasmine from Nougat London
  11. Eclipse chewy mints – for minty freshness
  12. Sorbent clean & fresh wipes – cause you just never know when you need ’em
  13. Lucas’ Papaw Ointment – best stuff in the whole wide world!
  14. Ummmm kinda missed this number – oops sorry 14
  15. Indisalon Nutrition Nail Spa  – by Etude House – to keep my nail cuticles in check. Check out their stuff – it’s full of girly goodness!
  16. Pen – for all that jotting and doodling and filling out immigration and customs paperwork
  17. Nail file – cause I always break a nail when travelling – actually I already broke most of my nails just packing the suitcase – bah!
  18. Purse – I don’t know who it is made by but I bought it at SM when I was living in the Philippines
  19. Keys – 2 for house, 1 for work
  20. Handbag holder – these things are great – you clip it to the table and your handbag hangs off it – mine has a peacock on it
  21. Mirror – to make sure I’m still pretty or have food in my teeth – and it’s got a pretty elephant on it
  22. Hair comb – by Paganini – these are great, no matter how tangled my hair is it easily gets the knots out. The metal bristles spin as you comb – trust me it’s great!

So that’s it – Amour’s handbag! This went way longer than it was meant to – but was so much fun! Hope you enjoyed it too 🙂

What’s some of the items you just have to have in your handbag?

Amour xx
