Shopping Picks (from Australia)

I thought I’d share some of my favourite items from Australia this week as I’ve spent a few days shopping lately and have been seeing some lovely things. I have my eyes on these skirts in particular, both are incredibly gorgeous, I absolutely love them, and the colourful skirt comes in a dress too!

Some of these are available internationally, although the postage tends to be rather expensive – and make sure you double check the size chart as Australian sizes are a bit different :)

1. Jewel Neck Knit Top TARGET $40
2. Teardrop Stone Earrings EQUIP $12.99
3. Twisting Bead Necklace EQUIP $16.99

Items I Love – Australian Shopping

Amelia Australia Shopping, Shopping

Well while I’m still waiting for some new jewellery to come to Target here, they have just released an amazing new clothing collection called Modernista. The range seems to be mainly based on black, white and burnt orange in structured, geometric styles. If your into this kind of look it’s well worth checking out – there are some great looking pieces. The burnt orange is truly one of my favourite colours so that’s why I was particularly excited about this. Anyway I thought I’d chose a few of my favourites from online to show here but they have many more in store too. I’ve got my eyes on either that blue/white dress or the blue/black floral top.

Which ones do you like? Have you seen many new and exciting styles start coming into the stores yet??

2. Modernista Cowl Neck Sleeveless Blouse – Orange $35
