Pink or Coral?

I bought my first ever lipstick last weekend. In fact I bought two!

I have a night out to go to this weekend (yay), its the football presentation night for my boyfriends footy team and its usually a big night out and everyone gets dressed up pretty fancy!

I purchased a little black dress a few weeks ago online to wear to the event and now I have some cute new heels too! (Will post pics soon-ish!) I thought since I am wearing a black dress and nude heels I could try my hand at pulling off some lippy too!

I've never worn lipstick out before, I'm usually more of a lipgloss kind of gal (my body shop stuff tastes so yummy and looks so nice and glossy I've never thought of anything else!)

I need your help deciding on a colour to wear! { please excuse the horrible pics, I have been sitting at my laptop all day working on an assignment - glamourous much?! NOT!! }

Pink:

Coral:

At first I was liking the pink (its a horrible pic though so I am a little turned off now! HAHA) but I am kind of liking the subtleness of the coral now. Hmmmm I guess it'll be different once I am all dressed up with my hair all done and make-up on too!

Oh, and if you're wondering, the lipsticks are by Rimmel London, in shades 20 (pink) and 16 (coral), only around $11 each from Big W!

What do you think??

Skinny Smoothie

Boy do I love Pinterest.

Its been an obsession of mine since I signed up early this year. So many awesome ideas, trends and inspiration to be seen and re-pinned!

I was scrolling through some pins yesterday and saw this recipe for a "skinny oatmeal smoothie" via Lauren Conrad's pins. The recipe comes from here originally and is a perfect morning brekkie substitute for your usual cereal or eggs if you're trying to eat a little healthier!

Recipe includes:
1 cup ice
1/2 cup frozen raspberries or strawberries (I used mixed frozen berries)
1/2 cup low fat yoghurt (I used natural greek yoghurt)
1 banana
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup coconut water or another liquid (I used a small splash of almond milk)
1 tbsp of honey

{ Blend all ingredients until smooth }

Yummy! I think this recipe is such a good one because I usually have all of the ingredients at home which make for a quick whip up and its done!!

Happenings

Whoa, can I just put it out there and say:
Can time just slow the hell down please?!!!!

The last week and a half has flown by soooo freakin' fast I can't keep up and in true Ellie fashion I am starting to fall into a heap due to being poorly unorganised and over committed to too many things at once.

Dang it.

Last week was my first week of uni "holidays". I spent some time with my little sis while she visited, I took a quick trip to our farm with my Dad to check up on our cattle and cute calves and I spent the weekend catching up with my boyfriend over some quality time alone together in a near by city (which for us, alone time practically never happens!)

Some window shopping in Dubbo made me very keen to add a few things to my Christmas list!! Lol So cute Kardashian Kollection purses! Love!

Added this cute diamond necklace to the wish list whilst the BF was "boy" shopping! ;)

Some window shopping turned into actual shopping (Oops!) My new Kadashian Kollection handbag!

Purple Ugg BARGAIN! $10 from Cotton On Body! Too cute to leave in store ;)

The biggest bargain of the weekend trip was this tee from Myer, reduced to $7.50!!

This week I am a stress ball. I have so much homework to complete before I make the long drive back to uni on Sunday and I have so many things I want to do before then.

Today I am begrudgingly making my way through some heavy research for an essay that I have due on Monday, Boooo. 1500 words, double BOOOOO.

Anyhow, life must go on and I need a good kick up my own arse for leaving things a little late on the essay front. Any good essay tips anyone?! lol

How has your week been so far? I am slowly catching up with the social media world again, man does a lot happen via twitter/instagram in a week if you haven't been checking in! If you're not already hooked up in the twitter world, get on it! Find me on @misselle_tweets !!

Stay happy friends! xx

Rest... for 2 weeks

Hey bloggy friends,

Just a quick one today! I've been so massively lazy (or you could call it busy too I guess lol) this past week. I finished my third term of uni on Friday last week so I packed my bags and headed out west to my home town for a 2 week holiday break! Yay!

Technically it isn't a "holiday" since I will be working most of the time (I need the cash, poor student problems! lol) but it's a nice break from the freezing weather down in the Riverina and I get to spend time with my family and bf which is always nice!! The weather here today is divine! So sunny and warm, ahhh I can feel spring calling me!!!

Not much news from this past weekend, just a lot of kilometres driven and I am feeling a little tired but so happy to be home. There is no place like home!

More blogging soon! x

Viva Forever, Spice up your life!!

Oh My God, I must be one of the biggest dorks out there but I cant get the girly-ish grin off my face after having just watched a clip of the Spice Girls reunion performance at the London Olympics Closing Ceremony!!!

Of course I missed the live footage of the girlie's on TV (dang it) but thank God for YouTube and all things Internet!!

I have to say, after so many years apart and some alleged "differences" between my fave five girls they put on an awesome performance and totally rocked it!

I wish they'd get over their adult dramas and reunite already!! I was their biggest fan when I was growing up! My girlfriends and I were obsessed and a good part of me will always be a massive fan as corny as some of you may think that is! ;)

Plus, how hot do they all look all these years later?! I think Baby Spice (Emma Bunton) takes the cake for looking the best on the night, but I still love Mel B's crazy nature in her glittery body suit!

Viva Forever Spice-y fans!! The girls have still got it!!!!!
