FIVE UNDER FIFTY - NEW HOMEWARES

Every year about this time I start getting itchy to change it up at home.  Maybe it's because we spend so much time indoors during winter, or because every retail store worth it's weight in salt brings out their spring ranges at the beginning of June, enticing us and making us itch.  
Itch for newness and colour.
Well, I scratched that itch, as soon as I saw Kmart's new homewares catalogue.
OMG!  All I can say is well done.  They have got it dead right.  Right on trend with pops of colour and light wood 
and a bit of vintage thrown in for good measure.
Above are my top picks (and what I picked up for myself)
Vintage Shelf, Storage Containers, ceramic bird, wire basket, and deer head clock
The total for these pieces of loveliness was $68.  $68!!!

I can't wait to show you how they have brightened up our home.
If you haven't seen their catalogue yet, have a look.  I'm sure you'll find
something you can't live without.

FIVE UNDER $50 - the slogan tee

I have been starting to think a bit about spring and what I need to update my wardrobe for that trans seasonal period where it is a little bit cold for just a tee but a long sleeve tee and cardigan, jacket etc is too much.
I've rediscovered the slogan tee.  Yeah it's been around for a while but I have a feeling it is going to be one of the key pieces of the coming season, I'm having that feeling mostly because they are everywhere! 
Trend items can be tricky.  I'm of the 'spend money on investment pieces' side of the bridge, so something that is just going to do me for a season or two will have a little less money thrown at it.   Above are the tees that have caught my eye recently and they are all under fifty dollars! (number 4 is $8!)  I like that they aren't blaring with the slogan, they are like a subtle nod.  I'll be wearing these tees with a feminine midi length circle skirt, but boyfriend it up with a denim jacket and chucks, or relaxed printed pants (probably black) and go head to toe monochrome with tee number one.

You can get the tees here.  One, Two, Three, Four, Five.

       What are you thinking of trying for spring?  Would love to know so maybe I can try it too!
