Mezi...

 

I got my mitts on these glorious pieces of arm candy today!! I love leather cuff bracelets and wrap around straps. I think it's the grungy side in me (and I don't mean this pastel goth/soft grunge trend that seems to be sweeping the likes of tumblr, what the hell is soft grunge anyway??) But moving on... these guys are a touch more feminine than the usual battered, beaten black leather strap that takes pride of place on my wrist.

Mezi is an amazing jewellery company hailing from Sydney, Australia. They're jewellery seems to take a modern twist on staple pieces that will add a little somethin' somethin' to any outfit.

The brand boasts some celeb fans in the form of Olivia Palermo and Australian models; Rebecca Judd and Jessica Hart to name a few.

Point being... I love these bracelets. They're cute and girly but edgy at the same time!
They're also in a brown leather and gold. Hmmm.....

8 Other Reasons...

I've fallen in love with jewellery brand 8 Other Reasons. We've just started stocking it in Villa Laguna and it's flying out the door! The statement pieces can be worn with anything at all, dressing up jeans and a tshirt or making a girly dress look that bit more edgy. Everything is quite quirky, a bit eclectic but that's my kinda thing.

What I wore:
H&M black maxi dress, I accessorised with a bright orange scarf and the gorgeous "Bad Boy" bracelet by 8 Other Reasons. (Gold, blue and gunmetal spikes, in photo)

The "Addiction" two tone bracelet also comes in a gunmetal and gold stack, as well as the rose gold and silver that is pictured.

Worn with Ebony Eve Akemi kimono dress

I have my eye on this "Undefeated" necklace. I'm a fan of chunky, masculine sorts of jewellery but what I really love about this is the matte gold.
Quality and affordability are of equal importance to 8 Other Reasons, everything by the brand looks and feels designer but is very kind on your wallet!
I've been converted anyway, they've gained a serious fan.

Back To Blog!

Okay so it's been a few months and a lot has changed.

I've made a massive move to the other side of the world, have myself a new apartment, new friends and so much fashion and style to share with you all from my new job!

I uprooted from Ireland to Perth, Australia at the end of January. I left behind my friends and colleagues in Up To My Eyes and I've recently started working in a beautiful store in Cottesloe called Villa Laguna.

To say I want everything in the store is an understatement. (More on that later!)

I've seen so many girls (and one or two guys!) around Fremantle snapping away, very obviously taking their photos for Lookbook/blogs and my god, everyone is so beautiful over here.
I just can't seem to get myself a tan, I'd rather not end up like a lobster or with problems later in life, so suncream is a must over here.

When I first arrived, it was coming to the end of summer, I was finding it quite hard to wear many of the clothes I'd brought with me, the heat was crazy. I found my way around it by wearing flowy dresses and tops with the lightest shorts or skirts I could possible find.
My hair was constantly up in a messy bun and make up always seemed such an effort (all sounds very attractive, I know!)
But who cares when you get to hang out at beaches with white sand and crystal clear water all day?

Anyway, that's that!
I'll be continuing on with my blog and bringing you all things fashion and lifestyle from an Irish girl in Oz.
