Spring Carnival

DRESS | Veronika Maine

HEADBAND | Sportsgirl

SHOES | Windsor Smith

BAG | Mimco

RINGS | Tiffany & Co. and Kate Spade New York

I attended the last event of the Spring Carnival at Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney over the weekend. It was a lovely day with some of my best friends and a lot of champagne ;)

Since I've just got back from my holiday in Hawaii, I didn't really have the money to spend on a brand new dress so I wore my Year 12 formal dress. I got it from Veronika Maine three years ago. I love flower crowns, and it was what I wore to the races last year (which you can see here and here) so I picked up another one from Sportsgirl last week. I think the purple goes really well with the green dress, and the green leaves on the headband match as well. I decided to brave it and wear heels for the entire day and went with my Windsor Smith ones that I'm obsessed with!

I didn't bet on any horses or watch it really this year (oops) but I just love dressing up and seeing what everyone else is wearing!

MAC Haul // Hawaii Hauls

While I was on holiday in Hawaii I of course made a trip to the MAC store in the Ala Moana Shopping Center! 

I started off with the 15 Eyeshadow Pro Palette along with the inserts and four shades. These are my first MAC eyeshadows. I didn't go in intending to get colours in the red/burgundy family but these things just happen. I also don't own any other eyeshadows like them so I thought I'd venture out from my usual neutral tones.

Retail assistants have their ways of pulling you towards products. Getting a paint pot hadn't crossed my mind at the time and I was a bit skeptical but now I am glad I bought it. I didn't have a nice matte base before this.

Lastly, I had to pick up some lipsticks. I went for Angel - a cult favourite - and I am now obsessed with it. I've been wearing it most days since I got it, perfect neutral pink for every day wear. I also picked up Milan Mode. I've never really heard much about this one and it has some glitter which I usually steer clear of but it looked nice on in the store and I sort of had a "#yolo moment" haha. So here we are.

What are some of your favourite MAC products? There are SO many more lipsticks I want to get - I'm just getting started. I'd love some recommendations!
