DAILIES TOTAL1: #MoreContactTime

It’s been a whirlwind weekend, as I made my way down to Sydney to take part in an exciting project sponsored by DAILIES TOTAL1.

While I spend majority of my day peering through bold Prada frames, I’ll admit there are some activities that just don’t suit specs. So I’m swapping my frames for a 5 Day Challenge of the NEW DAILIES TOTAL1 Water Gradient Contact Lens, the first ever water based disposable lenses. From a late night movie session, to a gruelling gym class, I’m planning to get the most out of these contacts, so expect to hear more about my experience using DAILIES TOTAL1 in the next few weeks!

After a quick flight from Brisbane to Sydney, I attended an afternoon fitting with the optometrist, where I had my eyesight assessed and prescription recommended. Dashing through Pitt Street Mall and Strand Arcade, I made my way back to the hotel to get ready for an exclusive dinner with the DAILIES TOTAL1 team and the B.E. (blogger entourage).

Three courses and one decadent dessert later, we were briefed on the new technology, learning that DAILIES TOTAL1 is the first disposable lens approaching 100% water at the outermost surface, designed for those who love to get the most out of their day. For more information about the formula of the lens, check out the DAILIES website. Their soft and malleable form is extremely comfortable, allowing for extended daily wear and #MoreContactTime to do the things you love. For me, that’s dining with my girlfriends and enjoying delicious food and sparkling champagne with a side of gossip – essentially this very evening.

Having worn my new contacts throughout the dinner, I found them to be very comfortable and itch free, whilst giving my eyes the support they needed. At the end of the night, after I said goodbye to my fabulous new friends, I simply popped the used lenses in the bin – a far more convenient ending for the gal on the go!

It doesn’t take a genius to spot that I have a bit of an obsession with neutrals at the moment, particularly within the “off white” category. With ivory, off white & cream outfits on high rotation, I’m finding the warmer tones more flattering on my fair skin than stark white – a realisation most porcelain beauties can relate to.

When it comes to the basics, I cannot go past a versatile skirt with a fitted form, and this Wish Focus Skirt definitely ticks the right boxes. To help out my lady friends, I’ve done a style comparison, finding some great alternatives to this piece, in slightly different cuts, patterns and pricing. I recommend this asymmetrical skirt, horizontal stripe split skirt, and this pencil skirt.

Because I love uniformity, I’m teaming my striped skirt with an ivory top to create a matched set. I’m loving the revival of fringing and have added three fringed finds to the wish list, courtesy of Shopbop: J.O.A. Fringe Crop, Emma Cook Mia Top, Rebecca Taylor Silk Fringe Crop Top.

For ivory, off white & cream outfits, I always accessorise with a deeper colour, and find the combination of rose gold and black leather, as seen in this Eminence Collection Timepiece a perfect choice. On my other wrist, I’ve added a bold, monochrome anchor bracelet, also from Eminence Collection, which introduces a subtle nautical theme. Keeping the rest of my jewellery simple, I’ve gone with a delicate Samantha Wills circular pendant, matched with rose gold studs.

Do you have a little tip for when styling ivory, off white & cream outfits? If so I’de love to hear it in the comments below. Here’s to an exciting summer ahead! x
