t’s TREAT YO SELF time. Once a week I pop together a little list of some rockin goods from around the interwebs with which you may choose to TREAT YO SELF. (For those of you who don’t know what Treat Yo Self is click here.)

Napolean Perdis The One

I went to an event hosted by Zoe Foster about a week ago and I swear, if that girl tells me to buy something I’m whipping out my credit card faster than Kim Kardashian at a Juicy Couture sale. Zoe uses this stuff as an under eye colour corrector – it basically neutralises the dark circles under your eyes and then you conceal over the top. I haven’t bought this yet but it’s on my pay day wish list. Where Zofo leads, I will follow. Oh and get the peachy shade – she swears it’s perfect for everyone.

$37 from Adore Beauty

Luck Be A Lady Dress

I do love a black and white structured frock.

$79 from Modcloth

Heston Blumenthal At Home

Now I must preface this item with a disclaimer. I think Heston Blumenthal is a wanker of the most supreme order but I can’t deny the fact that the man is a genius. I actually already own this book but I just ordered two more copies for gifts. It’s so brilliant. Full of restaurant quality side dishes, mains, snacks and fancy little desserts. All of his recipes are very precise which means it’s almost impossible to stuff them up. There’s a few TO DIE FOR flavoured popcorn recipes that alone make this book totally worth it.

$45 from Booktopia

Preston Handbag From Fossil

I was at a conference last week and one of my mates had this neat little cross body bag AS HER ACTUAL EVERY DAY HANDBAG!!! She’s on a mission to downsize and I want to jump on and ride that minimalist pony. I either carry a HUGE handbag everywhere or I tuck my keys, lip gloss and phone in my wallet and carry it in my hand. I’m in desperate need of an in-between sized bag  and this little orangey-red number is totally winking at me…. saucy little minx.

$259 from Fossil

Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayons

I’m having a big moment in lip stains and crayons right now. Sometimes lipstick is a bit thick and drying for me so I’ve switched to stains and they work beautifully under lip gloss. I’ve been a fan of Bourjois products for years (reasonably priced, super cute packaging and decent prods) so I’m going to stock my online shopping cart with a few of these when it hits pay day. I love shopping at Priceline online because I can read reviews of products and not have to wait in a giant queue.

$11 from Priceline

Mio Strapless Heart Rate Monitor

My beloved Sunto heart rate monitor bit the dust a few weeks so I’m currently borrowing Mr Smaggle’s LED heart rate monitor and it’s amazing. You don’t need a strap around your chest, it uses LED light to measure your pulse. FITNESS TECHNOLOGY! Also if you don’t have a Fitbit One get one immediately. They sell them at Rebel Sport now, I just noticed. I’m so incredibly into fitness tracking devices and I can’t recommend them enough.

$249 from Rebel Sport

Deep Ocean Duvet Cover

We’re in need of a second doona cover because my once-white one is now kind of tea coloured and I seriously lost it when I saw these. I’d pretty much take any of them but especially this ocean blue one.

$155 from Nature City

Spring Linen Dress

I’m getting weirder and weirder about sun damage as I get older so I’m stocking up on long sleeve summer dresses to protect the old dermis situation on sunny days. I thought this was adorable.

$69 from Idea Cloth
