A review of this bad boy coming soon. I'm wearing it tonight under my shadow. It's really a muggy Aussie night and looks like it will storm soon - it'll really give this primer a run for its money!

Cotton On Bargains
Hey Birdies!
One of my favourite places for bargains is Cotton On! I really love the basic pieces that they have that you can dress up or down.
Both their in store and online have amazing sales. My favourite would have to be the 'Sale' section of their online store - http://shop.cottonon.com/shop/women/sale/ . This section contains heavily discounted items from all their sub-branches. - Rubi Shoes, Cotton On Body, Typo and Cotton On Kids.
This outfit was purchased by me recently from both their store and online.
I'm wearing the "Sweetheart Lace Dress" from Cotton On. It was a soft mint colour with lace flower detailing. I really like the length of these sleeves - perfect for the slightly chilly spring we are having! When I purchased it, it was $20 down from $39.95. However, yesterday I walked past and alas - it was $10!!!
Here are the links to it online:
Black: http://shop.cottonon.com/shop/product/sweetheart-lace-dress-black/
Cream: http://shop.cottonon.com/shop/product/sweetheart-lace-dress-gardenia/
Lavender: http://shop.cottonon.com/shop/product/sweetheart-lace-dress-lavender/
The mint colour doesn't seem to be available online, but I know its still in store!
The scarf was $2 AUS!!!! I really like the subtle khaki green and black leopard print design. It's great if you are like me and don't want to be decked from head-to-toe in animal print! Haha! It is a light weight material - perfect for spring/summer! Unfortunately this design isn't available in their online store anymore (purchased a few months ago) but they still have some cute designs left!
Alright, now for the shoes. These 'Castro' boots were $15 down from $39.95. What a bargain! They are a brown with black elastic. I am normally a size 7, but I went for a size 38 (approx. 8). This way I can wear stocks with these babes for extra comfort! I have worn them 3 times now (yes, they were 3 consecutive days haha!), one of which I walked a few km's, and they are so super comfy. I think they are a great piece that can be carried over the seasons!
Here they are online - but not on-sale anymore :(

An extra bonus is that the online store has free shipping in Australia for orders over $50 with the code "SHIPFREE" - but believe me, this will not be hard to reach! I have bought close to 15 items for $50 on this site before. Keep your eye out on the sale section as their sale stock changes all the time.

First Time Blogging!
Welcome to Pretty Birdy!
My name is Ellie and this is my very very very first time blogging! [Let's hope I do okay ;) ]
I wanted to start a beauty blog with a fresh Aussie perspective! My aim with this site is to make it a place where I can review products and tell you where to find bargains on a budget! I am an Australian uni student who is tight on the cash - admit it, you have all been there! I have had to learn to make do with my casual salary but still look fantastic! I don't believe there are enough Australian (especially Queensland) blogs out there that cater for this type of thing. Let's change that!
I hope you find my posts helpful and I'm so glad that you are taking the time to read them.
Happy reading!
Ellie xoxo
