10 MUST THINGS EVERY GIRL NEEDS IN HER BAG

You know that shoulder pain that you get from your handbag that forces you to do a cleanout and decide what you REALLY need to lug around with you everywhere? Everyone does it (only after looking at potential shoulder surgery of course because… drag) and we’ve decided to make it a little easier.

We’ve made a list of the things we think absolutely necessary to have on you at all times.

Dear Australia...

Australia is finally about to hold a national vote on marriage equality and whether or not our current marriage laws should include same-sex couples. Regardless of what people think of how our government has acted on this issue we as a nation need to move forward and give a resounding “yes” so our current marriage laws are changed. This is an open and candid letter to all Australians.

SPOTLIGHT: NOTI MAFICO

Starting her business not even 2 years ago, Noti Mafico has quickly turned into women everywheres go-to for a designer outfit at a small cost. We all know how hard it is to re wear an outfit after the gram has already seen it, so why spend $700 on a Zimmermann that we cannot possibly post on two separate occasions. That’s where Noti x Nature comes in. Through Noti, you can hire designer outfits at just a fraction of the cost.

With the upcoming birthday of Noti x Nature we decided to sit down with Noti herself to find out just how it all works.

SPOTLIGHT: HERMIONE OLIVIA

Hermione Olivia is a force to be reckoned with. Growing up in Sydney Hermione is a true Aussie girl. Not only does she have a killer name that one of us is obsessed with, she is currently living in London, working relentlessly, and travelling to what seems like every corner of the world. Hermione took time out of her hectic schedule to talk to us about her PR business that she started at 23, and her style and favourite travel destinations. She's a business chick, a jewellery designer, a blogger, a Bon Vivant, and simply gorgeous! The sky isn't your limit if you work hard! Enjoy Xxx  

THE LOVE CHRONICLES: PART TWO - CARRIE

They say that you only have one great love in your life. When you’re young it's hard to distinguish love from lust. As our bodies get taller and our hormones get wilder, finding ‘the one’ and knowing when you are in love can be very difficult.

Sex and the City is a tv show that we all know and adore and it can be very exciting when we get together with our girlfriends to decide who is the “Carrie” or the “Samantha” of the group. Luckily for the four of us there was no argument when it came to figuring out who each of us were. In fact, the four of us watch the episodes and can see ourselves in their Manolo Blahniks.

Everyone has their own unique experience with this bitter sweet part of life. Learning to love and be loved. Our “Charlotte” has been in a committed relationship for three years, “Carrie” has been from one love to another, “Miranda” has been struggling to get over ‘the one that got away’ and “Samantha” has never been in love. These are our real and honest accounts of young relationships.

A SUBURB MORE "MELBOURNE" THAN "MELBOURNE"

When you first think of “Melbourne” you usually think of alleyways decorated with graffiti, tiny hole-in-the-wall cafes where the Baristas are as hot as the coffee, the satisfying *ding* of the tram going past, and the sound of black boots clicking along on the pavement. There is only one suburb that is more ‘melbourne’ than ‘melbourne’, and that is Fitzroy.
