WINTER NEON

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a huge fan of black and white; clothing, decor, interiors...you name it!

While monochrome will always have my heart, I am starting to appreciate what a pop of neon can do to your home or outfit, especially during these cooler months.

Clockwise left to right;
Chuck & Taz pram liner $58.00
RawNeon ply bunting $10.00
CheekychickadeeStore long sleeve onesie $28.00
Manly Beach Mason Jars neon jar trio $55.00
Glisten Designs Neon nights necklace $40.00

I definitely need a bit more neon in my life!

What trends do you warm up to in Winter?

DRESSING MY NEW HAIR

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram (@karinaxoxo) you would have seen I recently chopped my hair to a short style.

I'll go into more detail next week about the ease of styling short hair, but today I want to talk about how I dress my new hair. Because my ear lobes and neckline are always exposed now, I am really loving being able to dress up my outfits with earrings and necklaces.

I'm not against popping into a chain store accessory shop, but now that I will be wearing costume style earrings every day, I'd rather buy a good quality product.

One of my new fave online shops is www.shabbysisters.com.au

1. Miss Tiffany Necklace

2. Vintage Amelia Earrings

3. Art Deco Long Fans

Shabby sisters jewellery is affordable and good quality. Plus they are an Australian retailer and also donated a gorgeous necklace to my friends fundraiser to be raffled off.

Now I just need to find a stylish way to store/hold all these new accessories I am rocking

XOXO

OOH LA LA!!!

Remember how I told you about my friend who was going to Shave her head for cancer?

Well some of my girlfriends & I are organising a fundraising function for this weekend to help raise money.

One of my favourite accessory stores www.oohlalaofficial.com has kindly donated this gorgeous bag;

I ALWAYS try to support stores that give back, and it certainly won't be hard to support Ooh La La Accessories. I've already book marked 3 items I'll be buying next pay day

1. Darci Pave link bracelet

2. Quilted 18'' suitcase

3. Larval Floral body bag

Just what I needed, another online store to become addicted too!

XOXO

ETSY ROCKS

Welcome to the "Etsy Store of the Week"

This is a new weekly feature I am running - which will probably turn into randomly rather than weekly - displaying my fave Etsy.com Store for the week.

For those of you who have been hiding under a rock, www.etsy.com is a bit like Ebay, just for all things handmade. I like to search for handmade accessories, bags and stationary. You can also find some amazing art! If you are a crafty little critter, I recommend you list your stuff on Etsy

This week it's;

TotusMel

Check out TotusMel for unique tatted jewelry and accessories. I'm loving these ankle corsets;

If you run an Etsy.com store, or know of a great seller, let me know Karinaxoxo@gmail.com
