TRIANGL Underwear.

TRIANGL UNDERWEAR.

The most exciting news to come in 2014 thus far is the impending launch of Triangl Underwear.

These two styles are a sneak peek of what will be on offer. With huge success of their swimwear, Triangl are 

proving to be a force to be reckoned with, with a price point starting at $49 for the 

'Isabel' Underwear - micro mesh sets and $59 for the 'Lucie' bra + brief - nylon micro mesh sets.

As usual I cannot pick an immediate favourite, so I will just add all of them to my lust-list for now!

Which would be your first pick?

Triangl Underwear will be launched this week sometime, so keep a look out on 

Instagram @triangl_underwear, their facebook page and via their website.

*UPDATE: Triangl Underwear is available online NOW!

New Year, New Skin.

STARTING my year off with the hopes of looking after my skin a little better.

I never make resolutions, not because I have no hope in sticking to them, but simply because I don't really believe 

in making any. Every day should be a chance to better yourself, to grow and experience as many new 

things as you would like yourself to.

With the help of beloved skin care brands, Neutrogena and Aveeno, I'm ready for a change in my skin's appearance!

1. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen Spray SPF 50+  2. Neutrogena Rapid Clear 

2-In-1 Cleanser Mask (I have been looking for a mask for a little while now)  3. Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture 

Sensitive Skin  4. Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner  5. Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleanser  6. Aveeno Positively Radiant

 Intensive Night Cream  7. Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub

I'll be following up with a breakdown of each product and their benefits in the next post, so see you there!

Many thanks to Platinum Media Communications. x.

And While We Were Here...

"And While We Were Here"

A film by Kat Coiro, featuring my number one girl, Kate Bosworth and her co-star, Jamie Blackley.

It follows Jane, an American writer, on her adventures through the island of Ischia, off the Almafi Coast. 

It tells the tale of broken love, forbidden passion and self-discovery.

While on a business trip with her husband, Jane stumbles into a romantic affair with a younger man, Caleb - who makes her feel 

youthful and alive again, which in-turn ignites her professional dreams and pushes her to re-evaluate her personal life.

It's not your average pop culture film, which makes me appreciate it more. 

You can take many messages with you throughout the film, it's all down to self-interpretation. 

Through Jane's grandmother's WWII stories, the troubling love behind Jane's marriage or her new

found lust and youthfulness in her dalliance with Caleb.

In (senior) high school my English teacher's would mostly critique my film-based essay's rather poorly, 

stating that I may have missed the message, the message that most of the class reported on. I always 

believed that my interpretation was completely justified. In my eyes, no view is the incorrect view. 

We all receive a different message or feel different emotions from film. It's up to you what you take from it.

I'm still trying to figure out whether Kate styled herself in this film, but all signs are pointing to 'YES'.

Her wardrobe was perfection and I want in on all of it!

*EDIT: After speaking with Kat Coiro, it is confirmed that both Kate and Kat styled 

Jane's wardrobe in the movie, using many of Kate's own personal pieces.

Interview | KiVARI.

KiVARI SS '13/14 collection

"Harlequin Daze"

Australian label KiVARI is defined by it's bohemian style and gypsy lifestyle, sporting luxe leather, 

soft fabrics and prints to keep you on trend all season. It is said to be for "the dreamers, lovers of life, bohemian 

gypsy's, the rockers, the trendsetters, sunworshippers and worldly explorers".

I was lucky enough to interview the Gold Coast-based designer about her new label...

1. Name. Age. Occupation.

Kirsten-Lee Keysers. 33 years old. Part-time radiographer, full-time KiVARI designer/owner.

2. How did KiVARI begin?

On a surf trip to Indonesia in 2010, I saw a gap in the market for affordable leather bags. So naturally I started designing 

and selling leather wallets and bags at the local markets. In 2012 I released my first range of apparel to compliment my 

leather pieces. From there KiVARI has grown more than I could have ever imagined into what it is today. 

I couldn't be happier with how well it's been received!

3. What has been your inspiration behind the "Harlequin Daze" SS '13/14 collection?

"Harlequin Daze" was inspired by my love for the ocean. The colours below, the angular lines on my 

surfboard and that "free"feeling of just you and the ocean.

4. What type of girl do you design for?

The KiVARI girl is: Young at heart, loves and adventure and has style with a touch of class and rock and roll edge. 

She is a worldly explorer, gypsy and essentially a lover of life!

5. What is your favourite piece/s from the collection?

The 'California Dream' leopard shorts. I live in them!

6. Where to next for KiVARI?

Global baby! Haha.

My pick is the ever-so-popular 'California Dream' leopard print shorts aswell.
