EXCITING NEWS!

I have some exciting news to share with you all! In the months of December 2014 and January 2015 I will be embarking on a vacation to Cancun, Mexico and Las Vegas, America! 

I was told the exciting news about 4 months ago while my family and myself were preparing a cruise  for New Years and my birthday to Vanuatu, Fiji and New Caledonia. My parents came home to say that they had some news for us, my grandparents called them saying they are going to Cancun on a house exchange and well they wanted us to come along. Needless to say my sister and I started screaming out of sheer excitement and the planning got under way! 

The flights are booked and the dates are set. As I sit here typing I am staring at three and I must say incredibly large suitcases that we purchased, that are making my already incredibly large amount of Wanderlust that bubbles inside me every minute of the day grow rapidly. I will be leaving on the 13th of December which so happens to be my last day of my first year of University. Flying from Brisbane to Los Angeles and than to Cancun. Cancun will see me celebrating Christmas, New Years and my 21st, before heading to Las Vegas to experience the Grand Canyon and the bright lights of the strip.

I can't begin to describe how excited I am to be traveling again this year even though I did a very huge and truly remarkable trip to Europe last year. I set myself a goal to travel every year and I truly hope that is the case. All of you of course will be along for the ride as I plan on doing travel posts on Wearing Wanderust as well as vlogs and videos of my experiences on my YouTube channel. I love to share all the details of what I have experienced as I love travelling and also capturing the moments as well as writing about it. I hope that after my graduation from University that I will become a successful travel blogger and journalist (a girl can dream!) 

So if you have been to Cancun or Las Vegas and you believe I should go somewhere or try something please share your experience with me by commenting! Also if you know of any amazing cameras as I am planning on getting a very good one in order to capture the moments from my future trips!

Thanks for reading and sorry for being so MIA!

HOORAY! SEPHORA IS COMING TO AUSTRALIA

World wide beauty retailer Sephora is opening their first
Australian store in Sydney in early 2015. 

If you are getting antsy at the thought of Sephora being so close yet so far away
if you do not reside in Sydney, fear not because it appears that with
 the opening of the new store, Sephora is looking at establishing
another 25 stores throughout Australia. 

The question on everyones lipstick stained lips is what about the pricing?
 Sephora is notorious for cheap products within the American beauty industry but
is this going to continue in Australia?
We are all praying to the beauty gods that this be the case. 

What about the competition it is going to create within Australia's beauty industry.
The financial review said that it has declined offers from Myer,
David Jones and Mecca Cosmetica to create concession based
 stores and go it alone. Sephora having annual sales of $4.4 billion,
 you can see why they wouldn't partner with local competitors who
were the go to stores in relation to having a dominant market of premium cosmetics. 

Brands ranging from Chanel, Stila, Clinique, Urban Decay, Clairns, Dior, Benefit,
 Smashbox, Too Faced, plus many more (click here for a full list of brands)
 We all know we are going to find something that we must have or perhaps an entire basket full. 

Are you excited for Sephora to be opening on Australian shores and what will you be buying when it does?

Viktor & Rolf, Flowerbomb $80 / Nars Blush (available in 26 colours) $30 / Yves Saint Laurent, Touche Éclat radiant touch $41 / Sephora collection, False eyelashes $10 / Stila Sparkle waterproof liquid eyeliner (available in 7 colours) $22 / Marc Jacobs enamored hi-shine nail lacquer $18 / Bare Minerals eye colour (available in 20 colours, Queen Phyliss is shown) $14 

WEARING WANDERLUST ON INSTAGRAM

Hi to all my lovely followers! 

From university life to working and not much else in between, I have managed to take some pictures of my daily life and post them on a little insider look into my daily antics on my Instagram page. I actually can not believe how quickly this year has gone, we are in the final days of May and it will already be at the half way point of 2014. It only feels like yesterday that we were reigning in the new year through celebratory drinks and yelling happy new year at the top of our voices. I know for me thinking it is so close to the 6th month of this year brings a sudden dreaded feeling along with it, a sense of have I actually accomplished anything or to the wow things have changed. A lot has changed for me through starting University and doing something I throughly enjoy there, meeting new people, starting a new job and becoming essentially happier with myself and my life as a whole. With the half way point of 2014 looming around the corner, instead of thinking of the things you have not achieved look at the things you wish to achieve for the remainder of this year and set goals in which you can tick of the achieved list. 

The above pictures are some of my most liked pictures throughout the past few months, just displaying my style and life in general. The two gorgeous sunset pictures were taken at my second home being the Gold Coast. Feel free to follow my Instagram

account for constant updates of what I am up to! 

I want to apologise for being so incredibly inactive over the past few months, as I stated I have been SO busy with work and Uni. I hope though that it will soon change as I have had a burst of inspiration which I am determined to feed straight into this blog.  I have some exciting news to announce shortly (in regards to traveling) and some new posts/ideas in the works for Wearing Wanderlust. I hope you are liking the new theme as well!

Love Codie
