How To Guide: Finding The Perfect Denim Jacket

Hello Lovelies! Last year I wrote a blog on my tips to buying the perfect Denim Jacket (read it here), and after a few requests I am fleshing it out with current styles and washes so you can add the perfect Denim Jacket (or three) to your wardrobe this season. If you read my How…

I’m on the fence about red and green together outside of December. ⠀ ⠀ *taps nose* see what I did there 😉😏⠀ ⠀ What do you think? Too festive or Autumn perfection?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ @orange_sherbet Heidi Wrap Dress* [Sz12] code CHAMPAGNE15% for 15% OFF #orangesherbet #sherbetgirl⠀ ⠀ Size Reference: 165cm | Size 12 | E Cup | Size 7/38 Foot (Wide Fit). *Denotes Gifted Item
Dancing towards the weekend like 💃🏻⠀ ⠀ Leopard ✔️ Wrap Dress ✔️ Sleeves ✔️ ⠀ This Selina Wrap Dress [Sz L for boosies] from @edenlaneboutique ticks all the boxes for me. I’ve added a tan belt and boots but it would look so cute with a denim jacket and white kicks too. ⠀ ⠀ Tell me all your weekend plans! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Size Reference: 165cm | Size 12 | E Cup | Size 7/38 Foot (Wide Fit). ⠀ ⠀ #champagnesilvousplait #edenlaneboutique #cvspspon #leopardprintdress #wrapdress
“Hey Sam, can you take a photo of me for instagram so I can post about Hundreds for Hope?”⠀ ⠀ “Sure! Let’s do Criss Cross Open Arms”⠀ ⠀ FML 😬 All for a good cause! ⠀ ⠀ On Saturday 8 June, the @studio_pilates community across Australia and New Zealand is coming together to give hope for children with cancer, and those who love them.⠀ ⠀ Sadly, four Australian families hear the words “your child has cancer” every day. Three children die from cancer each week. Continued research is the only way to help our kids and find a cure.⠀ ⠀ #StudioPilates is hosting Hundreds For Hope on 8 June with prizes, giveaways, special offers and entertainment in support of the cause.⠀ ⠀ They’ll also be providing FREE orientation classes across the day, commencing at 9.30 am.⠀ Every studio. All throughout the day. [Bookings required] Plus will have jumping castles, coffee carts and more to make the event family friendly. ⠀ ⠀ I will be going to the Hawthorne Studio, I hope I’ll see you there x ⠀ ⠀ [PS. super cute set from @abiandjoseph | the tights are a limited edition print ‘flowering gum’ and I had 3 ladies in today’s class ask we where they were from!]
Today’s #wishlistwednesdaycsvp features this gorgeous off the shoulder dress from Forever New, as soon as I saw it I was in love. The fabric, the colours, the details. An asymmetric hemline that is floaty combined with the ruching detail on the neckline gives this dress such a dreamy feel, but I wanted to toughen it up slightly with the accessories. You could keep it dreamy and ethereal with barely there heels and dainty jewels, but instead I’ve given you two options that are still girly, but also a little bit edgy as well. Which do you prefer?
So my @befitfoodaustralia results are in... swipe to see a little before and after from my Two Week Metabolism Reset* [shameless selfie because @corkandcontour had me feeling myself sick on Saturday night 😂]⠀ ⠀ I’m no longer bloated and lethargic, I feel more energetic and I’m waking up without my usual groaning 🙈 I wish I had taken my measurements before starting because I really feel like I’ve lost more cms than kgs, although to be honest they’re just a happy side effect. I’m loving how I’m feeling again and so thankful I took the 2 weeks to reset how I treat my body. Oh ps I lost 2.7kgs in 2 weeks. ⠀ ⠀ In the first few days I was already back in the swing of macchiatos instead of lattes, 3L of water instead of 1-2L and reduced carbs/dairy with increased protein. It brought back all the things I had learnt from my last #BeFitFood program and was basically a refresher course. I think I’m going to aim to complete a #TwoWeekMetabolismReset every few months to keep me on track. ⠀ ⠀ I’ve done a blog (link in bio) on the two weeks, and if you’re interested in trying #BFF for yourself use code CHAMPAGNE35 for $35 OFF your order xx - *gifted for review
Spinning into the week like... 💃🏻⠀ ⠀ How gorgeous is this @madexandco Amalfi Frill Maxi Dress* [Sz L but could have gone the M] Polka. Dot. Perfection. It was true love as soon as I saw it and it did not disappoint! I’ve dressed it down with sneakers but it would look SO cute with boots and a jacket or even wedges 😍⠀ ⠀ 📷 @kirstymckenzie__ 🥰⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Size Reference: 165cm | Size 12 | E Cup | Size 7/38 Foot (Wide Fit). *Denotes gifted item ⠀
There were three in the bed and the little one said... where’s the coffee? ☕️☕️⠀ ⠀ Home after an amazing weekend filling my ‘Rachael’ cup. I got to drink hot coffee, have uninterrupted adult conversations, have a few cheeky champagnes with friends at a beautiful event, sleep a full 7 hours in the comfiest bed without a baby waking me, and even have TWO coffees during a leisurely breakfast where no one threw food on the floor or tried to deep dive off a high chair. Bliss. ⠀ ⠀ It was such a good idea to turn the weekend into a girl’s night away - @kirstymckenzie__ and @mummyrepublic are just gorgeous inside and out. I definitely think girl’s nights away should become a regular occurrence! Plus it’s super fun hanging out with fellow creatives playing around with taking photos and just having a laugh! ⠀ ⠀ We stayed at @rydgesfortitudevalley and it was amazing, such a good central location with great staff and amenities, the rooms were lovely and the bed SO comfy. The breakfast was also delicious 😋 great value for money, I know I’ll be back!
Girls night out 🥂 thank you for my amazing glam @corkandcontour you nailed it once again 😍😍 swipe for close up of Julia’s amazing work xx
Low key excited for my lady date tomorrow. ⠀ ⠀ That’s a lie. ⠀ ⠀ I’m very excited. Extremely excited. Spinning in nature excited. ⠀ ⠀ When was the last time you had a kid-free night?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ [Gorgeous drop waist dress from @zoemosslabel and @spendlessshoes boots... Who doesn’t wear berry boots in a field 🤷🏻‍♀️]
I miss my @bettylane_ Sadie dress, @thehairdressermama ‘borrowed’ it and it’s yet to return.... maybe that’s an excuse to order the black version? I created this look by tucking my Blake knit into a belt... would you be keen for a video how-to? ⠀ ⠀ Also I’m VERY excited for the weekend. Myself, @kirstymckenzie__ & @mummyrepublic are headed into the Brisbane @mamatribelove event (I think there’s 5 tickets left if you want to come!) at @beirne_lane and have decided to make a girls night of it by having our makeup done by the crazy talented @corkandcontour then staying at @rydgesfortitudevalley 🍾🥂🎉🙌🏼 I think I need to go buy pyjamas tomorrow 😂🙈⠀ ⠀ What are your weekend plans?
✂️ Chop Chop ✂️⠀ ⠀ My hair is feeling so fresh and healthy after a nice big chop, a bit darker colour and treatment from the girls at @stefan_carindale @stefanhair 💖⠀ ⠀ Still took me the same amount of time to curl though 🤔😂 Do you find your hair needs a big chop when it gets cooler?
Today was meant to be my last day of my @befitfoodaustralia Metabolism Reset, but I didn’t get to stick to it last Friday or Sunday so I’ll be finishing the week before doing my blog. But spoiler alert, I’m waking up brighter and more energetic and feeling amazing. I wanted to feel the way I felt last year when I completed the Be Rapid program and I do! I’m not bloated or lethargic anymore, and as I bonus I’ve lost a few extra kilos (I’ll let you know how much in my blog... I might even do some before and Afters for you 😝). ⠀ ⠀ Committing to the 30 Day Challenge at @studio_pilates could have left me feeling tired and overwhelmed, but having great nutrition behind me has left me feeling amazing! I’m so glad I decided to bite the bullet and do it. So often we put things off because we don’t have a clear schedule to do something 100%, I don’t know about you but I’d rather do something 95% right than 100% not at all. ⠀ ⠀ Don’t forget also, if you want to give #befitfood a go to use code CHAMPAGNE35 for $35 OFF your order. Get the Ca-Pow Protein Balls, you’ll thank me 😋😍⠀ ⠀ Ps the @tsid_clothing Mack Knit has been restocked in black and white AND released in grey and rust last night 💸💸💸
