Black on Black, How To Wear - Wardrobe Essentials


You're already the beautiful so just have fun with that wardrobe.

Wardrobe ideas:

I love the colour black.

In the wardrobe every women needs an all black outfit.

I love black, and I mean black on black.

It's smart, stream line, classy, elegant and on trend.

Whether it be pants and a top, a dress, a skirt and top, and stockings (yep I love stockings) you will always look amazing.

The trick to wearing all black on black is to keep it all black from head to toe. Every little bit.
Definitely save those coloured shoes and coloured beads for other coloured or print clothing options.
However, you do want to make your black on black look interesting and keep it in line with your own edgy style. You can achieve this by adding jewellery, scarf, hats, and clothing layers in different types of textures and shades of black when you put together your outfit. This adds dimension and personality and keep you from feeling like a boring clone.

A places to start or get your mind piecing a look together.

Try black on black with:

- a string of pearls in gun metal grey or dark colours.
- chunky black beads and arm bracelets.
- lace gloves, lace stockings, net stockings. No coloured stockings or socks here.
- animal print; scarf,  - grrrrrrr. Keep the tones in hues of dark colours - grey, black and only a hint of tan.
- clutch, handbag or tote in any black style, texture or material.
- an elegant sparkling jewels, it's all about the sparkle.
- studded.
- a watch giving a pop of colour personality - rose gold, gold, silver, black, white, neon. (The only colour I'll allow)
- patterned/textured black shoes.
- black shiny or textured belt.
- a vest.
- a  favourite swipe of coloured lipstick. This can give your black outfit serious pop!
- textures ideas: lace, suede, fluffy, animal type textures, leather, feathers, pleated and folds.

Do you wear black on black?

Happy Weekend

I love a happy weekend.

Why not make the most delicious hot chocolate to share complete with marshmallows and cream on top.
Why not start a new book - adventure, mystery, romance, something new.
Why not find a pile of leaves to play in.
Why not remind a special someone how much you love them.

Cheer

I love happy and the weekend together.

Why not check out the stars at night.
Why not make pancakes and even better - with blueberries.
Why not hug your mum so close and tell her how much you adore her - and make sure you make her put her feet up and make her a cuppa with a piece of yummy cake - nothing says I love you more then cake!!!!

Mission Beautiful

I love it when women know how beautiful they really are and can see the amazing beauty they bring to the world.

It's no secret that I am not afraid to champion us women in all our dreams, desires, ideas and simply just because. It's no secret that I also love my Instagram photo taking too - a lot!!!
So I have combined the two and created my own Instagram photo mission challenge. It is called Mission Beautiful. I have joined the party.

In truth I am doing this for myself especially and for anyone who wants to join. I really believe that the more women who know how gorgeous they are and how what they - you - uniquely and diversely bring and share from beauty, inner courage, love, fun and strength to the world the better. You see we carry a beauty, a gift, a heart that no one else can bring and can give. Yours is beyond compare to anything and anyone. I believe this beauty can change the world - the world for one or for thousands.

It all starts with you seeing you, me seeing me and us seeing each other and being proud of us all. This is what my photo mission is about, sharing you with us, and me with you. For beauty, for fun, for courage, for inspiration, for truth - see YOU the beautiful. #missionbeautiful_atib

Join me in this months May Mission Beautiful photo challenge, I can't wait.

Eat Your Veggies - Day 5


Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I love veggies and vegetarian takeaway options on nights that I'm phewwwooped!

This week I am participating in meatless Australia week for health, respect for our gorgeous animals and for fun. You are more then welcome to follow along as I cook veggie meals that are yummy, non - boring and ones that you would not even notice there is no meat because they are that delicious.

If you have an amazing "meatless" dish please feel free to post it on this linky here to share and inspire us all. (It's below the veggie pic.)

So far we have cooked:
Day 1 - Roasted veggies with asian salad, toasted cashews and honey soy drizzle.
Day 2 - Frittata with peppery rocket, puff pastry squares and sweet chilli sauce.
Day 3 - Sushi with garlic and ginger, soy dipping sauce.
Day 4 - Gumbo and corn chip dippers.


DIARY: DAY 5, Dinner Meal 5:

It's Friday and I am exhausted. I am not cooking tonight - simple as that! No judging please as I know you won't cause we all have those nights where we need someone eles to do the work. Just because we are on a veggie spree does not mean that takeaway is out because tonight it is very IN!
I am going to sit on the coach and watch Better Homes and Gardens with my girls and eat takeaway and there are so many takeaway options. Yep, we went for pizza, vegetarian style.

On the menu: Takeaway vegetarian pizza and relaxing on the couch.

Instructions: Pick up the phone and call your fave takeaway place and order, have it delivered or go for a drive - whatever your style - pour your favourite drink and relax, relax, relax, RELAX. Mwah xxx.



Coke and Lemon - who does that!
(It would be vino but I'm on a break)
