Elegance ~ Summer Favourites

Hello Blog Buddies!

We have currently all been enjoying a warm summer in Melbourne. 

To help celebrate holidays and the start of a new year, I thought it would be an appropriate time to discuss some of the things I am currently enjoying...

Here is my selection...

I have already mentioned the 'eos' range of lip balms in a previous blog. Australia has recently been introduced to a similar range of 'colourful balls' called 'Revo'. 

At a Blog Conference last year, our fabulous 'goody bag' contained the white one displayed here, in the photo. It is flavoured with coconut and is consequently 

the quintessential smell of summer. 

The balm itself, is long lasting and feels smooth on your lips.

(I also like the fact that they look really cute with my 'eos' balms displayed in this glass 

jar in my bathroom!)

  

I am also loving my rose gold iPhone. The colour is so pretty.

'Santa' placed this gorgeous 'Dannii Minogue' candle in my stocking last year. The smell is simply yummy and it makes my whole house smell dee-vine! The candles come in two scents... Marshmallow (my personal favourite) and Black Fig.

The fact that Ms Minogues range is available at Target Australia and is reasonably priced, also adds to the appeal.

My husband was extremely thoughtful and 'nailed Christmas' last year with these beautiful books from 'Kikki K'. One contains inspirational quotes and the other is a blank book with stunning colours on the pages, which just invite you to write and scribble down all your thoughts and ideas.

Finally, my favourite book this summer is, in fact, a cook book. I have been a long time 'enthusiast' of Ms Lawson and remember reading her column about beauty products when I was living in London. During that time, she released her first book 'How to Eat'. 

'Simply Nigella' is her ninth book and contains simple, easy to follow recipes. This summer I was also fortunate enough to attend a breakfast meeting where Ms Lawson was interviewed. She was funny, delightful and incredibly gracious... all qualities I admire and aspire to.

So there you have it... I hope you are all enjoying the summer vibe in Australia at the moment and to my friends in the Northern Hemisphere... I hope you are all cosy.

What are you currently enjoying at the moment? Let me know...
