Beyonce- Tribal Goddess in Sobral Jewellery

Only 5 sleeps to go! If you're like me then you are 90% organised... Food, tick. Drinks, tick. Presents, tick. The only thing left to work out is what to wear on the big day!
This year it seems we are finally getting a hot Australian Christmas and I for one, am thrilled. My breakfast BBQ will most definitely suit a balmy morning, followed by swimming in the pool with my daughter and her little cousins into the evening. So therefore something cool and casual is on the top of the list. I'm thinking of going for a simple palette with room to move (and to cover my tummy after eating all day!) and then adding colour with some funky accessories...

Luckily I've been introduced to Sobral Jewellery. Originating in Brasil, each piece is hand made by designer Carlos Sobral and his team in Rio de Janeiro. I love the variety in colour and styles, and the fact that no two pieces are exactly the same giving the jewellery a real 'arty' feel. 
Celeb fans include the one and only Beyonce, who was decked out in a pair of bangles and chunky earrings from Sobral for her "Put It In A Love Song" film clip with Alicia Keys. Love her tribal funky style. I am hooked! 
I'm thinking a stack of these bangles on my arm will be the perfect accessories to create some joy and Christmas cheer this weekend. Then bring on a long hot summer!

Sweet Scents for Christmas

I put my Christmas tree up this weekend. I can't stop staring at, and whats more, I cant stop smelling it. Freshly cut from the christmas tree farm, its divine scent of deep pine and all things christmas has taken over my house and its heavenly. 
With Christmas now literally only two weeks away I am searching for those last few gifts (yes, I am super organised this year!) and have decided to use my nose. The right smell can trigger memories, occasions a mood or a place...
After browsing online I've come across the new Palm Beach home fragrance collection. I am a sucker for a good quality candle or diffuser and the Palm Beach range is just that, with a range of scents including Blood Orange, Fig Mandarin & Cassis, Lemongrass and Vintage Gardenia. Plus their packaging is beautiful, smart black boxes with simple yet elegant labels. 



 You can find the range online at www.ImpulseBoutique.com.au/PalmBeachCandles
Merry Christmas everyone!
