Will You Be My Valentine?


Dress - Dotti
Pumps - Target
Heart Cuff - Lovisa
Lipstick - Lime Crime
----------
I admit this outfit is rather simple but sometimes you just can't beat the classics. A little black dress paired with black heels and some sweet accessories is all you need to look chic and pretty on Valentine's Day. I love lace yoke on this dress and the cut-out back makes it a visually interesting dress from all angles. I paired it with a simple silver heart cuff to get into the spirit of romance and some red lipstick for a pop of colour. My boyfriend loved this outfit on me.
What did you wear for your special someone today? I'd love to see your Valentine's Day outfits!
xoxo

Product Review: Lime Crime Velvetines (Red Velvet)


You may remember from my very first post on this blog that I have been dying to get my hands on a Red Velvet lipstick from Lime Crime's Velvetines collection.  Red Velvet and its twin (Suedeberry) have been sold out absolutely everywhere online for a little while but I finally managed to track one down this week from a website called Tragic Beautiful and it arrived yesterday.
Initially I was very impressed with the product. The packaging is exactly as pictured and very cute. The colour of the lipstick itself is absolutely gorgeous! It goes on much like a lip gloss however it dries very quickly into a matte finish that is supposed to last and last.
Unfortunately, by lunch time I was starting to get a little bit disappointed with the lipstick. Despite moisturizing my lips with lip balm 20 minutes before applying the lipstick, my lips got very dry very quickly and as a result the lipstick started to stick to itself as well as go a bit flaky and in places come off. I had to touch up mid-morning and then again after eating lunch because it had come off even more by then. I also noticed it was starting to bleed/run around the edges of my lips despite my lip liner! Not a good look!

Overall I would recommend this lipstick but only for a night out where you are only going for drinks. I wouldn't recommend it as an every day lipstick (despite the amazing colour) or if you are going to be eating food because it goes very dry and just doesn't stay in place as advertised by Lime Crime or like my friends have been saying.
And be careful if you make a mistake whilst applying it! It stains your skin quite easily!
I will have a new outfit post (or two) up over the weekend for you but until then, enjoy the sneak peak of my H&M blouse in the picture above!

Rendezvous With Fashion: An Introduction


Welcome! Somehow you've stumbled across my first proper attempt at a fashion blog, Rendezvous With Fashion.
My first ever attempt at writing a fashion blog ended up going off on a massive tangent and was sadly abandoned shortly after it started. However after a recent trip to Paris and London I was inspired to not only revamp my wardrobe and my 'look' but to also give fashion blogging another try.
So a little bit about me... My name is Rebecca, I'm a 25-year-old from Australia with a newly discovered love affair with fashion. I've personally never really been the type of girl to keep with trends or bother much about what I'm wearing but I've always loved pretty clothes. I hope this blog will not only teach me to be more mindful of how I dress and what I buy but will also inspire others to be brave and experiment with your own fashion style, especially if you're not 100% happy with it!
Now to make this post actually a little more on topic, here are some things I am currently lusting after and am dying to add to my wardrobe as soon as possible.
Hi Hater Leather Mini Skirt - Necessary Clothing
I became obsessed with leather-look skirts after finding the most lovely one in Forever 21 on Oxford Street while I was in London last month. Unfortunately for me they appeared sold out in my size in every single Forever 21 store! So I did the smart thing and turned to the internet to try and find one... and I did! But after purchasing the skirt I went back to read the product reviews and apparently it is a wet look skirt rather than a fake leather skirt like I wanted. I'm still on the hunt for a proper fake leather one and at $14.99 I think this one from Necessary Clothing just might just be the one I've been searching for!
Spartans Lace Leggings - Black Milk Clothing
I am a longtime fan of Black Milk Clothing (an Australian label designed and sewn all in my hometown of Brisbane) and am currently lusting after a pair of their Spartans Lace Leggings. These leggings never really appealed to me at first but I bought some amazing sweaters and blazers in Paris and London that I think would go perfectly with these leggings. I am determined to buy them before winter rolls around again! And if you haven't checked out Black Milk Clothing before, you definitely should. They're a little bit expensive but once you buy a pair you will understand the quality and customer service is just fantastic and makes the price tag worth every cent.
Lara Studded Collar & Cuff Chiffon Shirt - boohoo.com
I have always had a little bit of a soft spot for anything studded or spiked, so this button-up shirt from boohoo.com is just perfect in my opinion! I'm just waiting for payday next week before buying this lovely blouse. I've been in need of a long-sleeved white shirt for quite a while and with the studded collar and cuffs, I just can't pass this one up. Perfect!
Alaina Triple Spiked Bracelet - boohoo.com
Speaking of studs, I am currently loving spiked jewelry as well as spiked and studded clothing. I think this gorgeous bracelet, also from boohoo.com, just might find its way into my shopping cart when I purchase the shirt above. I am quite new to wearing gold accessories but I think this bracelet will just go perfectly with some of the blouses and sweaters I bought in London and Paris. It's a definite must-have in my mind for the coming season to add an edgy touch to any outfit.
Velvetines Red Velvet - Lime Crime
I am simply dying to get this little number into my make-up bag! Velvetines by Lime Crime are not only cruelty free but they're vegan as well and according to reports from my friends, they stay and stay and stay through kissing, eating, drinking and a whole night of partying without needing to reapply at all. Sounds amazing! One thing that has always put me off regularly wearing lipstick is the reapplying factor so I really can't wait to give this a try.
Sanchia Snaffle Scallop Hem Shorts - Forever New
And finally we have these scallop hem shorts from Forever New. I absolutely adore Forever New but their regular clothes have always seemed a little bit out of my price range until I decided to start putting quality over quantity when it comes to fashion. These navy shorts are super cute and definitely a must-have for the remainder of the Australian summer.
That's all until next time, I'm afraid. I will definitely blog again soon with some outfits I've put together that I can't wait to share with you!
xoxo
