Budget Babe - Inexpensive Fashion Find

Thought i would re-create the way i approach blogging & write all my fashion related finds here.

I have been looking for a nice colour-blocking piece that incorporated some sort of metal/plate detail to add to my outfits.

I came across this asos belt. It is currently on sale for $9.33 & with the current 15% discount code, midseason15, it comes to just under $8!

I was going to post this after i received the belt, but it probably wont last that long.

If your on the look out for a nice addition to your wardrobe on a budget, definitely check it out!

Staying Healthy - Weightloss & Drinks

I get a ton of questions about weight loss & staying healthy so i thought i would put up a couple tips.
While i do not condone the use of appetite suppressants or food substitutes(like shakes, ect) there are a couple healthy changes that everyone can do to become happier and healthier.
5 Drinks that can aid in weight loss as well as make your body healthier include tea, water, vegetable juice, skim milk and coffee. While coffee is not the healthiest, it is useful in getting you up and running each morning, preparing you for the day. 

Next on the list is tea! Now i know everyone is not a fan, but a couple of my favourites include chamomile, black, green, raspberry and peppermint. If you have not tried teas, or are unsure, i say give it a go! and i promise, there will be a flavor that will suit your tastes :)

Drink plenty of water! I like to carry around a drink bottle with me everywhere i go, just to remind me that i need to drink & stay hydrated. This is very important during the summer months when it is very hot and you are loosing a lot of fluids through sweating. It is also as important during the winter months, as the harsh winds and cold will dehydrate your skin, so to ensure an all year round glow, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Milk is great, not only in aiding weight loss but also providing you with the calcium for strong bones! 

However with all the weight loss tips &/or becoming healthier, please remember the number one rule! or solution.... is exercise! i cannot stress the importance of getting up and out! and a little vitamin d from the sun is always good for you! :)

Stay tuned for my next post on weight loss and staying healthy!

PS: I found the cute photo for this post here.

Forever New Purchases

I received an email this morning saying forever new has free shipping! yay! :)
i had a quick look at the site and found two items that were adorable.
note** check your invoice if you order anything, i was charged $10 for shipping & had to ring them but they refunded the $10 straight away :)

Naomi Printed Bralet $9.95:

So i have been looking for a cute crop top for such a long time now(inspired by Selena Gomez Kid's Choice Awards outfit), and have not been able to find one that i liked at a reasonable price. I am still a little uncertain of this trend and whether i can pull it off, but for $10 i thought i could attempt it :)

Brylee Striped Body $4.95

i purchased this bodysuit for my ballet, at only $4.95 it is a steal. As you all would know, i have a love for leotards and well, i could not the let opportunity pass to purchase an inexpensive one. :)

I will post outfit pictures when i receive the items :) hopefully it will not take too long! xx

A couple finds!

 The most adorable jumper from Dotti -$39.95 from $49.95.

 Another very adorable jumper that i will be purchasing soon! :) $49.95 It is called the Daydreaming Deer from Dotti.

 I had seen a girl in my uni wear this dress & loved it on her.... on me, not so much. This was a small & only $19.95 from Sportsgirl, but i just did not like the way it sat on me :(

 I found the same dress in a red colour but in XS, still to no avail, it did not sit right :( but for those interested, from Sportsgirl on sale for $19.95 :)

 Ahhh cutest play suit i have ever seen! from the brand Lipsy, a cute white lace design with big pearl bow at the front. On sale for $60 in Myer. The size i'm wearing is a 6, would have preferred an 8.

I was inspired by Selena Gomez's outfit at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice awards. She wore a floral crop top with beaded skirt... So i know this trend of crop tops was very popular for a short while but i never really got into it; i thought it wouldn't suit me. But i gave it a go & decided i was right the first time... not my thing unfortunately :( But she still looks gorgeous.

Outfit of the day! ft. elephants

A quick outfit post :)

sorry for the awkward pictures!

wearing a white and nude striped tank with beige trouser pants rolled up.

Paired with nude heels and my favorite accessory of the moment, my elephant charm necklace!! :)

Not only does it look cute, but it is also meant to bring goodluck! yay, bonus! 

unfortunately i was unable to find an already made necklace/bracelet, as i first wanted a bracelet similar to this one...

But i wanted it in gold with more of a skinny bracelet, than bangle. unfortunately i was unable to find anything that i really wanted so i settled for a make-do necklace :)
