I'm back! And what better way to
celebrate my back to blogging antics than with a party?
Unfortunately, due to bad weather and
being unable to reschedule it I couldn't actually throw my Aussie Summer Sizzle
Party (boohoo!) but it did give me the chance to create the dream Aussie
Shindig - you know, the sort of party that you would throw if you were as
wealthty as Blair Waldorf. So here goes:
Bondi Beach, New South Wales.

The gorgeous Bondi Beach jumped straight
to my mind when planning my Aussie party, because of the TV Programme, I mean
who wouldn't want to meet a Bondi Beach lifeguard?! I would fly my guests out
in the ultimate Aussie Angel style (first class, with cocktails all the way) to
this paradise to celebrate the awesomeness of Aussie in its namesake place!
Now, being the dream party, there are
no limits to pampering my guests (and myself, of course) which means no lying
down in the sand, oh no no no! Instead, a private marquee will be set up with
sofas and tables filled with every cocktail that you can think of! I may even have a stolen a couple of cheeky Aussie guys to work the BBQ - because, being the princesses that the Aussie Angels are, we cannot do the BBQ-ing ourselves!
The cocktail of choice was the delicious, and aptly named, Sex on the Beach, with a supply of
cocktail cherries readily available on demand because who doesn't love an extra few
cherries in a cocktail?!

So whilst we are waiting for the BBQ
to get going (the manservants are clearly too relaxed), we've got the iPod pumping out some of the best beach tunes:
1) The Beach Boys - Surfin' USA
2) Colbie Caillat - Brighter Than The
Sun
3) Katy Perry - California Gurls
4) Somewhere Over The Rainbow
(Ukulele)
5) Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Jack
Johnson
6) The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be
Nice
7) All Shook Up - Elvis Presley
7) Hawaaiin Rollercoaster Ride - Lilo
and Stitch
8) Without You - Usher
9) I've Got a Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
10) Honey - The Hush Sound
With our aussome music blaring out, the
classic dance of my friends that always comes out is our custom made dance -
The Crow. Although we may not be in beach wear, whenever we feel the need to
groove, The Crow is our go to move (its so awesome it results in rhyme)
After working up a sweat with our
amazing dancing skills, we have earned ourselves a treat, and what better way
to celebrate the amazingness of being an Aussie than with an excellent burger.
So that's my party - the rest of the
time we will just be chilling, chatting, and enjoying the sun! It’s the Aussie
effect and motto – to just be relaxed and enjoying life, which was the theme of
my party!
My Aussie Extravaganza Look was a relaxed, beach style dress with
gladiator sandals in neutral colours, with some lovely beach waves hair
(similar to that of a lion mane, thanks humidity!) thanks to my beloved Aussie
Summer Save Kit:
My final thought went to ‘what new
product would I like to have in Aussie hair care products?’ It did not take
long before it clicked - coconut! For me, coconut is the ultimate chill out
scent: Pina Coladas, Hawaii and sun cream (aka holiday time!). I would love my
hair to smell of coconut everyday whilst being glossy and gorgeous, so that's
what my secret ingredient would be!
Now, does anyone actually want to add
to the 'Stephie Wants an Aussie Party' fund so we can get on over to Bondi
Beach?!
Love,
I love your Aussie inspired look. Good luck with the competition! x
