THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!

Thank you so much for the very positive encouragement and response last week when I announced Beautyholics Anonymous’ involvement with L’Oreal Paris and the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) for 2013. I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am that you’re happy for me.

Right, I’m doing that happy dance again. 😛

Anyway, at the end of the post, I mentioned looking out for something special this week because I have something big for you. And oh boy, do I have something big.

This is a letter I’ve written to my 16 year old self. It took me a while to decide what I’d love my very green, schoolkid self. Would I tell her of what she’s become almost 17 years later? Would I share my regrets? Would I wish for a time machine so that I could go back and undo the things I’ve done or do the things I wanted to do?

I wasn’t too keen on using these photographs of myself when I was 16 but there were very little photos taken of just me in school. I figured I’d use these photos instead of the ones with my old friends in case they’re not comfortable having their faces published on the blog. As for my brother, ah, he’s family so there’s automatic permission. 🙂

Five Minutes with My Favourite Blogger is a series of posts where I’ll be showcasing some of my favourite bloggers. These are the bloggers whom I admire and inspire me.

Enjoy!

My style icon: I draw my inspiration from a lot of different people but Drew Barrymore is constantly high up on my list. She has a lovely trim yet shapely figure and she has a big bust like me. She’s relaxed and experimental about fashion and can dress up to the nines like nobodies business.

Dream holiday destination: I’d like to go to Mexico where the beaches are warm and the Long Island Iced Tea’s are cold.

One random thing you can find in my bag: My vintage Glomesh key purse. I love Glomesh and over the last few years I’ve become a dedicated collector. I always feel a bit fancy when I use a piece, my key purse is my “everyday fancy” and I like that not many people use them. It makes going to the post office that little more fun.

My favourite item of makeup: Ohhh that’s tough! I’m a Benebabe (AKA: Benefit Cosmetics Addict) so it’s hard to pick just one. I love their illuminators (High Beam) and the Lip & Cheek Stains (Posy Tint) they instantly make me look fresh and awake. Oh and Magic Ink eyeliner to really open and define my eyes and sensuous Dior Addict lipsticks… I have too many shades to admit.

You will never see me without: My phone! I’m a fulltime blogger and I work long days from home whilst looking after my three year old son Aidan (AKA: #sonofablogger) and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m also a professional photographer so if you see me at an event I’ll usually be behind my Nikon D700 with a 24-70mm 2.8 lens.

I’m absolutely addicted to: Selfies… it’s shameful really but I can’t help myself. Want tips to take better ones? Keep an eye on my blog…

One thing on my bucket list: I’ve already ticked NYC off my list earlier last year but I plan to go again in June 2013 for Full Figured Fashion Week. If I’m not the photographer of an international plus size swimwear shoot on a tropical island in the next five years I’m doing something wrong.
