What I Love Weekly #45

1. Reaching 300 posts. It's not quite as colossal as 500 but it feels like an achievement nonetheless!

2. Self belief prevailing over self doubt is always a good thing to witness, both in your own life & the lives of others.

3. Zoe & Louise filmed a video with Vivianna Does Makeup recently & Anna shared some of her favourite new beauty discoveries of late. You can see the video here & if you love beauty+finding new products then I suggest you watch it. I love those Illamasqua Nail Polishes in particular, so beautiful! You should also have a look at Anna's blog too because she writes fantastic reviews, the best I've seen so far.

4. "Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination." -Oscar Wilde *Food for thought, perhaps?

Mini Benefit Mascara in a Chanel bag! I'm not sure which I'm more excited about...thanks M! x

5. Makeup shakeups! Lately I've been getting a bit bored with my beauty routine, in all honesty I don't modify it much for the sake of time constraints. Lately though I've been doing a lot of reshuffling & rotating products I'm a little bored with. It's fun, & a great way to create new looks! You should try it sometime.

6. Movenpick's Strawberry & Raspberry sorbet is too good. Definitely not appropriate for the up & coming Winter weather though so if you're near one I suggest you try it now before it gets too cold!

7. Receiving one of the most exciting parcels in the mail that I have ever received from Isabella & Maria. There were so many gorgeous things inside it & I felt really spoilt. PS-Congratulations on your Teen Vogue feature! x

8. Jo Malone's 'Sugar & Spice' Collection is delectable. I went & spritzed all the perfumes one day after class this week & they all smell good enough to eat! If you like the sound of fragrances that smell like cakes & other sweet treats then you need to go & have a spritz of these. Read more about them here.

9. This bird print bag. If I wasn't so devoted to my Country Road duffle I'd definitely be lusting after this. Actually, I will still daydream about this bag, but from afar. Sigh..

10. #nzgirbloggersclub is always a good time, anyone who goes will agree with me. This month we had Rachael of Made From Scratch come speak with us & shared her words of wisdom on blogging success, etiquette & more. I took so much away from her talk & am already putting some of her advice into practice, because it was very good.

♥As always I hope your week has been super! This week has just been so blissful for me, I can't really explain why but it's just consistently a week which I've loved. Today I will: Take photographs around my city & celebrate the fact that it is the weekend! This weekend I will: Relax & perhaps indulge in a spot of shopping & movie watching..who knows. xo

♥Oh & before I forget, my friend Hannah of 'The Modern Girl' interviewed me for her blog this week, you can see my interview here. I've also updated my Elsewhere page with all the features & guest posts I have done thus far if you feel like having a read of those.
