It's time to start prepping now! The delectable christmas pudding, those juicy rum balls and the infamous Christmas ham plus enormous amounts of champagne and cocktails all sounds fab, but all these things jammed together in one month will take it's toll on your skin. I bring to you my round up of my favourite pre Christmas facials to get my skin and yours ready for all your pre Christmas doo's.

Outfit: zomp flatforms, lady petrova tutu, soot headband, louis vuitton patent clutch

Currently obsessed with flatforms at the moment, especially the ones from zomp! They have a great selection of high and low flatforms and in all different colours and styles. I thought these went really well with my dress from Lady Petrova at the Bacchus Launch, Brisbane - simple, but with that quirky edge that I love. One brand in particular that I am loving is 2 baia vista. And, how awesome is this, you are able to purchase zomp shoes online now! (not so sure if they ship internationally, but I find this incredible and also terrible for me - as a lover of all things online and a lover of all shoes, this is not so good for my wallet).

Maybe this could be a sneaky pre-christmas gift to yourself or one of your friends (if they are lucky)? Who knows, enjoy x

Breakfast by day, canapés and tapas by night is a sly little fox behind the antique centre of the Woolloongabba that definitely has not gone unnoticed. I bring to you, the Foxy Bean & Foxy Drop.

Outfit: mango blazer, bimba and lola bag, vintage tsubi boyfriend jeans

Just a bit of inspiration of the boyfriend jean and boyfriend blazer when I was in Sydney a few weeks ago. Goes to show that you can be as creative as you like; colourful, accessorise the accessory and lazy with a white linen tee to simplify your look. This is a bit of an action shot so apologies for the pixelated images. I have also added a gallery of our journey here, there and everywhere in Sydney.
