I don't follow celebrities though, so I guess that may be the reason why.<br />
She wore this lovely ensemble out to an event, not sure where or when but it would have been recently judging by colours and cuts. I didn't go online shopping, my bank balance had a nice relaxing weekend, but I did go online window shopping to find some lovely pieces similar to the ones Shay was wearing in that photo. Here's the end result:<br />

<br />
I was originally going to name this "Shay Mitchell Look For Less" but the shorts and blazer were a little bit too expensive for it to be called cheap! Eep, they were both nearing the $85 price mark each. I can't say they don't look good, but I probably wouldn't spend that much if I can find cheaper alternatives offline. Call me cheap, but I just don't wear most pieces in my wardrobe enough for me to pay that much for them :(.<br />
Putting whatever else aside, these pieces are rocking pretty, and they scream right now. The neon colours are really trending right now, they look amazing with simple black and white, and if you're like me you'll love to mix it up with the boring black phase I've fallen into over winter.<br />
Black is out, neon is in, and it looks amazing with white, really gives it that pop of colour you need for springtime...that is if you live here in Australia. I was getting so sick of winter towards the end of it, but these last few days it has been so nice and sunny that I've completely forgotten about all my worries.<br />
This outfit is great for pre-summer, you can team it with some skin coloured stockings and you're good to go.<br />
Even though Shay didn't have a clutch with her, I thought I would go that extra bit of length. I found this clutch in store at Colette about a week ago and I really liked the bright yellow/lime and how the style of the hardware went so well with the bright pop of colour. Your screen may be fooling you when you see yellow! That clutch is actually a lime/yellow shade, but it looks super pretty and on trend so even if you end up ordering it online I guarantee you won't be disappointed.<br />
I wanted to attach a nice bracelet and ring combo, but the picture was getting a little too crowded already, diddums. You get the idea though :) I probably would've teamed it with a nice rose gold ring pack and simple studded bracelet, as you can mix your rose golds in with your golds, it will look pretty and on trend. I love mixing my metals!<br />
<br />
I hope you all like this bright copy cat outfit! I tried to find really similar pieces, that's why I couldn't name it a Look For Less, but I still think it looks great.<br />
<br />
Have a lovely day girls and guys :)<br />

I mean, how amazing is it? Neon colours are really making their way back into fashion. I remember a few years ago they came out but I wasn't too fussed about it. This time around I feel like I'm a fifteen year old school girl over again with a first love and I cannot get enough.<br />
So, even though it's getting extremely late here <i>(for me anyway because I'm a young soul with an old ladys bed time), </i>I thought I would share some pretty pictures that inspired me these last few weeks.<br />
Enjoy and I hope these inspired you as much as they have myself :)<br />
Goodnight xoxo<br />

One of them had an article whos' title read <i>"Are celebs sending us broke?"</i>...well are they? If you were to look at my wardrobe, it would be a yes and no. Why? Because if I see a killer pair of heels on one of the Kardashian sisters, I won't go out and buy it...again, why? Simply because I've already spent my money on other things I do not need which may or may have or may not have been inspired by designer wear...oops.<div>
It's hard not to get lost in a classic Rachel Zoe <i>"I die"</i> moment with my job though, working with costume jewellery can be a little hard on your part time job bank account at times unfortunately, nevertheless I love my job.</div>
<div>
More importantly getting back to the original reason of this post, I think most of us are being sent broke because of them. Yes, there are those fashionistas who prefer to go another way, and dress in very unique pieces but at the end of the day we are all celeb wardrobe victims. Don't even try denying that you have never watched tv, read Vogue or seen a videoclip where you went "oh gosh, that bag looks amazing...let's pause to see which designer it's from, ah right Versace". It's true, I probably do this on weekly if not daily basis.</div>
<div>
The truth is that it's hard not to get your heart racing over something amazing you just saw on a celebrity when it just looks so damn good on them. If we're pointing fingers and famous people, we may as well point them at famous designers as well. The latest craze right now are Michael Kors watches, which may be simplistic they are still fabulous at the same time. I personally am really inspired by designers, to the extent where I have a Hermés look-alike from Miss Shop. This $20 bargain has served me well the last couple of months though I must say that.</div>
<div>
I honestly think that bloggers and designers inspire my wardrobe picks more than any celebrities out there. I don't follow their everyday life that's all, whereas I read blogs and see all these photos on my newsfeed about various designers. I don't know about anyone else though...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've been so inspired to do a whole bunch of OOTD's but I can just never get myself around to doing them! Charging my camera at the moment so by the morning it should be charged, hopefully tomorrow I won't be so lazy as i have been in the past :(</div>

It's a hair special, can't tell you what though until I actually post it. Before I even think about posting it , I have to make a video, but for that to look normal I have to take a video with a camera that doesn't skip bits, or fuzzy them up. Aah, the first world problems of fashion bloggers!<br />
I think my iPad can take decent videos? If so then a video shall be up tomorrow! Yay, I can't wait, it'll my first ever video.<br />
What the point of this post was to let you know that I haven't forgotten, or gotten lazy to write anything! I just have something really cool in my head, that I want to do and I just can't think of anything that great to write about meanwhile :)<br />

In saying this, a couple of months ago I bumped into a little FB store called 'Blossom' ran by a lovely university student. She hand makes amazing vintage look head bands, but I would rather call them hair pieces as they are so delicate and beautiful.<br />
<br />
You know when you see a piece of clothing or accessory, and you can tell that they were made with love? Well whenever I see a piece made by her I can tell she really puts effort and love into every bit of it! I hope she doesn't get upset at me for posting her pictures (and I hope it's legally allowed, eep).<br />

<br />
The floral head piece trend has been around for a while, yes, but I think her pieces are just so different and one of a kind. I love stores like Blossom, as they're small and inventive. It's always stores like this that make me take that second glance at them and buy things. Although I haven't bought anything from her yet (due to my lack of job, I am confident that she makes quality products by the customer feedbacks she receives. For international readers I'm not entirely sure if she posts world-wide, but it doesn't hurt to ask.<br />
I was just going to post a bunch of pictures of pieces that she's posted on Facebook but they really don't do justice of how great they really look until you see it on someone.<br />

I haven't written a post like this before, although I think I'm going to from now on. It's important for these<br />
small home based, hand made stores to receive good advertisement as these are the ones that keep our (Australian) economy running and they're honestly so much more inventive, one of a kind and different than chain stores. It's difficult for a small store to stay in business for a long time, as large chain stores usually have more advertisement. They give your outfit more character, and people will no doubt stop you to ask where you got that interesting piece you have on from. These stores also inspire me to be more creative, to keep on sewing.<br />
<br />
If you would like to find Blossom on Facebook just <a href="http://www.facebook.com/blossomdesigns1" target="_blank">click here</a> and a window will open up with all her goodies! Make sure to like like like :), also here is her <a href="http://www.blossomheadpieces.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Big Cartel Store</a>, where you can also buy pieces from. She also sells at the Young Designer Markets in Southbank Brisbane on Saturday mornings, so if you can get there make sure you check these pieces out in person.<br />
<br />
That's all for today, ciao for now :) <3<br />

Ps. I was not in any way asked to or endorsed to write about Blossom, I did it just because I genuinely love her designs :)xeniihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13078316996758192465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298661305768882056.post-42872879434551867162012-06-04T11:53:00.002+10:002012-06-04T11:53:17.656+10:00My undying love for Lauren Conrads StyleI honestly think Lauren Conrad is underrated, and even bashed on by online critics unnecessarily. She's so pretty, with great style (without showing too much skin) and she's never one of those celebs that get locked up for drink driving or anything. I loved her in Laguna Beach and The Hills, Whitney leaving that show was one thing, but when Lauren left I stopped watching it altogether. Lauren has always been a style inspiration to me, as she has such a romantic, girly style.<br />
When I heard she is designing clothes I got butterflies because I was so excited to see what she has to share with the world! I haven't bumped into an online store that sells her clothes and sends them to Australia yet though. I just bumped into a Teen Vogue link to a Summer 2012 collection by her for Kohl's. I haven't heard of this brand yet (I'm guessing it's not the cosmetics brand she's doing a line for anyway hehe), but I like what I see so far. Especially because this line was done by LC. There are a lot of pastels in these clothes, and I love love love! She models them too, and she has such a lovely smile how can you not love the clothes?!<br />

The whole photoshoot has an 'afternoon tea party' feel to it. It's so sweet, and girly.<br />
I'm especially loving the mint trousers, they're such a lovely fit and also a really trendy colour this season. The floral shorts in picture 4 also caught my eye, it's such a versatile piece to have in your wardrobe, you can dress it down or up.<br />
I wasn't sure whether the blue dress in picture 3 was something I would wear, but then I thought about it and it's definitely on my wish list! If you read ahead, I also found the link as to where you can purchase any of these pieces for (hint hint: they're on sale right now, yay). I just hope they post to Australia, my biggest barrier when online shopping is that the good places never post to where I live.<br />

This maxi dress made my jaw drop! I love the fishtail detail and it's just so pretty altogether. Lauren has such great style, it's really great that we are now able to get a piece of her style in our wardrobes!<br />
I'm not a really big fan of the jewellery, it all looks a little 'beachy' to me, with the beads and the type of flowers but who knows they might grow on me as well.<br />
The heels are quite nice, but they're nothing overly original, still something I would wear though.<br />

I love the whole feel of picture 9, it's so sweet, they really nailed it with the hair as it gives it that whole 'LC' feel to it. The rest of the clothes were so sweet, romantic, and there are versatile pieces that you could either dress down or up.<br />

They're quite affordable, compared to prices here, but it all depends where you live. I just checked and they don't ship to international addresses, only to the U.S., which is so depressing as no good stores ship here or if they do their shipping costs something ridiculous like $70-$150.<br />
<br />
I hope you like Laurens' line just as much as I do, and make sure to let me know if you purchased anything, I would love to see these pieces on. You can post pictures to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/AllThePrettyGoodness" target="_blank">All-the-Pretty-Goodness FB page</a> , I set it up a few days ago so it's quite new but nevertheless make sure to like away, and send to your girl friends to like too!<br />
Have a splendid day :)<br />

Colour-blocking took over the runways, and before we knew it our wardrobes too. I personally love it and I still cannot get enough of it. The more the better, and the crazier the better I sleep at night.<br />
What are we seeing this year you ask? Oh...colours on top of colours, on eyes, lips and cheeks! And guess what? I'm in double love as I always like to mix it up a little with makeup, as well as my clothes. I'm not a big fan of winter (and right now it's as cold as it gets here in Brisbane), and as thrilled as I am to be seeing these makeup trends I'm not sure if I would be daring enough to wear these colours on my eyes. I may try though? Just start wearing it around the house, and get used to it.<br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Philip Lim: fall 2012 RTW; picture source: style.com)</span></i>
</div>
I usually get looked at for the trends I wear out and about, they're never too extreme that people should wear. I just like to think of it as 'people aren't ready for this yet'. For example, when I arrived back from Hungary last July, people looked at me like I was a lunatic for colour blocking, and boo them because now <i>they're</i> the ones wearing it!<br />
End of my rant, let's get back to business. I would opt to wear this with freshly sugar scrubbed lips and no lip stick, just lip balm as this look is pretty OTT.<br />
<br />
What's next? LIPS! I've been rocking bright lips for quite a while now, and I love them. I mostly use NYX lip sticks, as they have worked really well for me up to this point. They have perfect pigmentation and a really great moisturising effect.<br />

<br />
<br />
If you're ready to be noticed, this look is definitely for you! I love wearing bright lip stick, partially because it allows me to spend less time on my eye make-up, and because it's effortless glamour. When done right, this trend looks amazing. Done with a flawless base on the face, a little contouring with bronzer and concealer (if you're not sure how this is done, there are some amazing videos on YouTube that show you step-by-step), tiny bit of eye liner on the top water line, a light matte brown eye shadow to accentuate the cut crease and mascara (it takes longer to read this sentence than to do the look hehe)<br />
<br />
My fave look to wear with bright lip stick is the 60's cat eye liner, and flawless base. It's so easy, and you can incorporate it into your every day looks. It may sound a little OTT with the bright lips, but trust me that it looks amazing during the day too.<br />
<br />
Last but not least....the winning hair! I literally just stumbled upon this look about two minutes ago and thought I would add this too since it caught my eye.<br />

<br />
<br />
This hair was worn with vampy deep red lips, with that "just bitten" effect. It looks amazing. I love it! If you're loving this as much as I am, but you're not ready for it just yet, you can buy metal pony tail holders on ebay for about $7. I have one and they look great when on!<br />
I just spent the last fifteen minutes trying to Google what exact runway those metal pony tail holders were from, but I was quite unsuccessful. I have a gold one though, and it looks superb! :<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">As difficult as this second hair would be, I'm in love and will practice until I succeed! Valentino really outdid themselves in this one. I'm a huge Valentino fan as is, but this really set me over the edge from love to </span><i style="text-align: center;">in </i><span style="text-align: center;">love. Why so amazing Valentino?</span><br />
<br />
PS. yes this was <i>extremely </i>difficult! Do not try this at home unless you have at least half an hour to sit around and figure out which way the braids go, as I had to sit for about that long and couldn't even get it right :(<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I could go on for years about what looks I'm loving right now but I really should stop as I have been sitting in front of my computer for a few hours now.<br />
Ciao for now, have a lovely day :)<br />

I'm studying like a maniac for my final exams for this semester :(, and it's exam time again <i>*sigh*. </i>I have absolutely no idea where the rest of this semester went to! I swear someone just came along and stole weeks 5 to 8 because I do not have much recollection of them happening <i>hehe</i>.<br />
To top it all off, my studying is being interrupted by a lovely Easter trip to Sydney with my even lovelier boyfriend <i>(although I'm not complaining, I can't wait). </i>The only thing I hate is the packing, because the thing is that I'm only allowed on-board luggage, and that does not leave much room for things!<br />
Anyway, here's my OOTD :) I hope you all likey!<br />

This will definitely be a rushed post by the way! Unless I get to save it and finish it when I get to my boyfees' house , as I think I'm going to pack my things into a different bag. My post is on LookBook where you can find the brand names (and pleeeease hype me! I would love to be hyped). Here's the link:</div>

I always hassled my mum to take my pictures, but hassling no more! I finally found a remote for my camera, and for only $10.65 :O including postage, I was so thrilled when I saw it as I've been wanting one of them for years but I always thought it was called a clicker not a remote hence me not being able to find it on eBay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I haven't worn these shorts for quite a while I must admit, I got it from H&M while I was in Hungary last year and it was extremely cheap. So comfy and pretty, although when I bought it, it fit a little less than it does now. Which means I have lost a little weight since then :( actually I'm almost 100% sure I have, which I didn't care for, I liked my 56kg, it looked healthier than what I look like now that's for sure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought my top from eBay, for very very cheap. Big yay to me! :) I didn't realise what it actually had on the top until it arrived, but it has a wolfs' skull on it, but the eyes of the wolf are so capturing...it's so amazing I fell in love straight away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The reason I have my sunnies on inside (crazy, right??) is because I don't have any makeup on and that does not look good on camera haha. I'm fine with not wearing makeup when I go somewhere, just not on camera in pictures I put online, oh so not pretty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also styled a photo shoot on Sunday, which I'm quite psyched about because the photos turned out lovely! I shall upload them in my next post, I didn't think to do it today :(. Now I'm off to pack up in the little bag that I'm allowed to pack into :) But I hope you all have a lovely Thursday xoxo</div>

I was browsing through eBay tonight, and I bumped into this amazing gold sequin top, which in my opinion was so over priced considering that it was going to be shipped over from a factory in China and was going to cost me $50 with postage.<br />
Then I had an amazingly DIY idea, why not make my own? I could probably buy a simple top similar to that one, and just sew the sequins on. I hardly have any time right now because my finals for subjects at uni are coming up :( but what do they always say?<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>"You only make time for what you want to make time for."</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Therefore even if I don't get to work on it too much I'll try finish it over the next month :) I figured if I posted an entry about it I'm bound to commit to it and get cracking on it! I just need inspiration I think :) so I've gathered a few photos, including the actual top I was going to buy ;) but to avoid any discrimination I won't tell you guys which one it is :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZe4139Kn6Z7-4eK6KCG9FL6B0miou0XtMUhNqZWFVGJT8BviSMwVMT3ZvF7-fTPwHm4ShggD8Mac4a3vyvqFDug43ztyXOKrqg9UucgZN0r9rLi8Ru5i0UK5kvJWzmrnABIBcMjsIkrDw/s1600/Untitled-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZe4139Kn6Z7-4eK6KCG9FL6B0miou0XtMUhNqZWFVGJT8BviSMwVMT3ZvF7-fTPwHm4ShggD8Mac4a3vyvqFDug43ztyXOKrqg9UucgZN0r9rLi8Ru5i0UK5kvJWzmrnABIBcMjsIkrDw/s640/Untitled-1.png" width="456" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most of these, I just Google-d so they're completely random and just ones I saw and loved so I saved pictures. Number 1 caught my eye first, it's casual...but not too casual. Does that make sense? I could wear it to uni during the day, or even out to dinner...or if I was to dress it up a little more I could even wear it out clubbing. Looks like a dress with a lot of potential! But since we're girls, we hardly <i>ever</i> use our clothes to their full potential.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Three is just simply amazing, I fell in love the second I saw it. I want it, <i>better yet</i>, I need it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I'm planning on DIY-ing is very similar to number 5 that's why I saved that one :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How interesting is 6? It would be a toughy to wear, but I still like it. It's an interesting piece, something you would see on the rack and think <i>"hmm, yes or no?"</i> but then you try it on and you like it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Number seveeeen! It's so original, I bet it was a vintage piece :) can't get stuff like that unless you pay some ridiculous price for it, either way it's beautiful and individual. I love cardies, but this goes beyond any cardie I've ever owned. Simply beautiful! It could transform an average outfit into a <i>head-turning-jaw-dropping</i> phenomenon.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Sequins.. glitter.. sequins.. glitter! I love it :D I see so much on tumblr as well. I've been obsessed with all things glittery and shiny for a while now, but I think my tumblr addiction has added another lot of obsession onto that <i>(along with my hello kitty obsession, oh gosh).</i><br />

I'm going to end this post with this pretty little outfit. It's a little out there ,<i> I know! </i>But for the sake of this shoot, whatever it was for, I think it goes really well. I'm in love with both pieces of clothing. I would love to find out where they were from, unfortunately I didn't think of that last night when I was searching for these pictures :(.</div>

Hoping you all have a splendid Friday :) xoxo<br />

PS, I have my BellaBox coming in the mail this week coming <i>(jumping up and down on the inside right now hehe)</i>, if you have absolutely no clue what I'm yapping on about please proceed to opening a new tab and google it :P. They have something similar in America as well <i>(except they get full sized products and not samples)</i>, and I'm quite excited. I shall post about it when it arrives!

If I see those special four letters next to each other "S - A - L - E"...yep <i>those </i>letters, my face lights up, my heart starts beating faster and I automatically have this massive smile on my face like I just won a brand new Ferrari. I'll even admit it that I got a little excited now, and I have a cheeky little grin on my face just at the thought of it :).<br />
<div>
I was browsing through Facebook last Tuesday morning, and I happened to see a post by a Melbourne store called Venus & Mars who sell amazing clothes. They had a small quiz posted and I thought I might check it out. </div>
<div>
It was a picture of Rooney Mara at a Film event in a dark green Louis Vuitton dress <i>(I have the exact picture but for some reason I can't find it on my lap top)</i>, and I remember seeing that exact picture the day before on-line somewhere. I guessed right and I received a discount code I could use on their online store, I didn't have much to spend last week, so I went into the sale section (yes here we go once again with the sales hehe), and I found a lovely "Bebe Sydney" <i>(make sure you don't get it mixed up with the American brand Bebe, the brand they often sell in Europe as well)</i> dress that I thought might be nice as I was going to go out on Thursday night anyway and I wasn't sure what I was going to wear. The dress was already down from $130 to $65, and my code got me an extra 10% off, and if you ask me, a $71.50 discount on a dress is quite impressive <i>(especially when it's so pretty)</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Excuse the terrible quality of the photo <i>(I had to resize them)</i>, and my boring boring face in these :), there were hundreds of other girls in the club and I didn't want them to look at me weird for having photos taken of me haha. The dress is so pretty! It's nothing flashy, it's more timeless and classy. It also has a cut-out back which I didn't get a photo of. The hemline of it is quite flattering considering black lace dresses always fall so heavy on me. It has a layer of a mesh material under it so cover up of course, but that's a little shorter than the lace, it looks a lot more flattering like this than dresses that end both fabrics the same length. I teamed it with a pair of silver glittery high heels.<br />

I was so suprised that my dress arrived in the mail the next day, I don't normally order things online so I thought that express postage meant two-three days <i>(might I mention free express postage Australia wide, yippee)</i>. They must have sent the dress the same day :), how lovely of them! I ordered the dress around 1pm, so it wasn't in the morning either, I was so happy! I messaged them on Facebook to let them know I was doing this post as soon as I got to wear my dress out and I have a few pictures, and they were so positive about it and very lovely :). I hope to shop at Venus and Mars again soon! There are so many things that I would love to buy but I don't have a job at the moment :(, although I hope I helped all you out a little today.</div>
<div>
I highly recommend them as I was treated so nicely during my shopping and I guarantee that you won't regret your purchases :), which I can't say often for many stores both online and in store. I just had a look and they also sell mens clothes, which means if your boyfriend isn't the most stylish guy on the block you can always help him out a little ;) just blame it on me recommending the store.</div>
<div>

<i>Donatella, I bow in front of you.</i> </div>
I can say that more than 3/4 of this collection says "ME". These pieces are so chic! Don't you agree? Especially the white mini dresses with the colourful patterns of them, they're so colourful, summery, but they look clean! I love going out in a white, it looks amazing and I feel so clean and fresh. I fell in love with this collection the second I saw the first piece :) I sure didn't need convincing. This collection is like ice cream on a hot day with whipped cream and two cocktail cherries on top <i>(because one is never enough)</i>. Words cannot describe how yummy it is :)<br />
<br />
My most favourite one is.........<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3XgTZJrrBFHEJrep1CpERP3EHiQrjXe2U3dgyeIAFGsMqWlhwy9ctRTUnDCjtifzDCQV814M6G_ymrAUatEvk_yTVV6MKhEc2UPkuOQfcCXCSkMaNAf8Z71Qau8y2BnCvnjQ2LiJcitE/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3XgTZJrrBFHEJrep1CpERP3EHiQrjXe2U3dgyeIAFGsMqWlhwy9ctRTUnDCjtifzDCQV814M6G_ymrAUatEvk_yTVV6MKhEc2UPkuOQfcCXCSkMaNAf8Z71Qau8y2BnCvnjQ2LiJcitE/s640/6.jpg" width="425" /></a></div>
Ta-daaa! This little beauty was head to head against the other white dress, that has the green, blue, black, and mustard pattern from halfway down. This was my fave because it's just so chic, summery <i>(I love love love summer, but who doesn't?!)</i> and the cut of it is so individual. When I saw this one, I felt like a little girl, let out a little squeal and went back to my first reaction, the dropping of my jaw. The belt and shoes break the dress up a bit in my opinion <i>(in a good way of course)</i>. The belt was necessary I think, simply to emphasize her waist just the right amount. Designers are really cheeky...did you see the shoes she's wearing? I don't think I would go into my wardrobe and team those shoes with that dress, it looks really good but I just wouldn't think to pair it.<br />
Jewelery is minimal, which in my opinion looks great for this shoot but I may have put a gold bangle on the model but left the neck area without any jewellery.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love dresses that make my hips and waist look curvy and feminine! So naturally, this made my jaw drop. I can sort of see a fashion emerging from this dress, if you've seen body suits and leggings by Black Milk they have the skeleton patterns on it. I'm not sure if this is what Donatella was going for, but to me it feels like it. There is no other dress a woman can feel sexy in other than a body hugging sweetheart neckline strapless dress. That's just my opinion though. This piece would definitely be a showstopper anyone, just as must as the rest of the collection <i>(and if I saw correctly, the black parts have sparkles on them and omg I love sparkly garments right now)</i>.<br />
<br />
These were my two faves of the collection but I could go on and on and on.....<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Those pants look like they were drawn into the picture! So amazing, I love these. The interesting neckline just works so well with it, there is definitely nothing ordinary about this dress. I wish I could just try one of these pieces on :(, I'll probably never get to though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope I inspired some of you to open a new tab, go on Google and search some more of the collection because it truly is amazing. Have a lovely day ladies :) xoxo</div>

I have so much to talk about, so much to tell the world. I have tried other, what I thought easier means of getting my thoughts out there about the topic I love the most...fashion of course :), but they just didn't work out. I thought about YouTubing, I got so inspired by some people on there that I wanted to do the same but my little digital camera is just not up for it :P. Either way, I liked writing, editing was just too much for me it was so complex amd I had no idea how to do it. I wrote this all in a flat half a minute, so you can just tell how much I needed to write.<br />
<div>
Anyways, back to my big news! It wasn't so much big news as much as me being excited on working on new projects. I have a friend, a lovely friend, who happens to be an aspiring photographer and she asked me to style one of her photo shoots and of course I accepted the offer (I would've been silly not to). I had to use my wardrobe, but that wasn't too bad, it made me realise how many times I haven't worn some of the items hiding in there. I dressed both girls head to toe in my clothes, it was pretty fun but I didn't imagine that an amateur styled shoot would take this much effort to plan.</div>
<div>

Now...for the pictures ;)</div>

My inspiration for this outfit was a weekend road trip somewhere beachy. Byron Bay? If you're not from Australia and you don't know where that is, make sure you google it because it's worth a look :) and a visit! I love the necklace I teamed with the dress, I've had the dress way before I got the necklace and whenever I wore it, it felt a little empty as if it needed something extra, and I found it! Finally :) The bag I got while I was in Europe thinking I would wear it heaps, but I never get the chance to, I've probably only worn it about twice in the last 8 months. It's a lovely bag, but it never fits my uni stuff into it :(<br />
The wedges I paired with this outfit I was completely in love with the second I saw them, firstly because it was just perfect nothing over the top but nothing too plain either (if you saw the back of it you would know what I mean), and secondly because they only cost me $17.50 :O and I'm always up for a bargain when I'm strapped for cash. The bracelet you see on the model was handmade for me by a lovely friend back in Europe :) I love it, and I've paired it with so many of my outfits, it's a simple wooden bangle wrapped in a thick white crotchet ribbon.<br />

Our second model had a completely different vibe to her, she was a little more delicate a little more shy, therefore I decided to put her into more romantic and vintage clothes. I love this outfit! I got the top from my best friend for my birthday, and I wore it out that night to dinner with a pretty high waisted skirt :) you can't see properly but it has a lovely pearl detailing at the top. These shorts are also from the same shop (forever new, my weakness!) and the 'belt' was originally bought as a necklace about a year ago now :P, I put the same shoes on her as I did with the previous outfit, how clever?! :) Our hair stylist never showed up to the shoot, without any notice and we couldn't even reach her mobile so I had to make do with what we had. By that meaning, we had no combs or bobby pins, and we didn't think we had any hair ties. So, with my trusty YouTube knowledge I did a side braid which actually started from the other side of her head all the way down :) I wear this hairstyle heaps actually, it's my go to when I woke up way too late or I just want to give my hair a break from any heat styling. The pearls I paired with this outfit were a birthday present I got from my mum this year, aren't they sweet? I already had a pearl necklace, but a girl can never have enough pearls...or gold, or diamonds for that matter ;)<br />

This outfit was shot last, and we really rushed the photos because our model had to go to work :( she already had to be late because of this. As much as we rushed it they turned out really well! I love this outfit, I wasn't sure if I was pushing it with the necklace, but afterall the look I was going for was really blingy and out there. Colour-blocking was a huge trend this season, and I wanted to elaborate on that. I always see girls colour-blocking but they always have the most minimal jewellery on it. I wouldn't wear the necklace out with the clothes but in the shots they looked really well :), the top...okay so let me just explain that we had some problems with this top. It's a size 6, as it's mine..and the model is a size 10! Lucky I took safety pins with me, so the model (and my top) lived on after this shoot.<br />
<br />
I had so much fun with this photo shoot, and I think I get to style another one next weekend. We haven't figured out any models yet, but we have a few girls and boys in mind :). I have a fair few new pieces to my wardrobe since then, as winter has let us know that it's back and here to stay for a little while :(. My time spent on eBay have gone up (I haven't realised how many good deals there are on there until now), and the temperature has decreased. I love summer! I hope I'll somewhat enjoy this weather with my new forever new coat though ;)<br />
<br />
I better wrap it up :) I'm at uni, I just really badly wanted to finish this entry as it has been sitting in my drafts for a week now.<br />

So guys, this is what I wore today! The top collage is what I uploaded to lookbook, the bottom two are so serious haha I swear I look like a horse in the one on the left :P. I wore this today to uni and to take my resume into a place called Dissh near my uni, wish me luck :D I really need a new job! No money means no new clothes or anything :( so upsetting because I could really use a whole heap of new bags and accessories...possibly a few new pairs of shoes?...Maybe?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My bracelet was a gift...a hand-made gift too :D from a really good friend back in Europe, I've had it for ages now and I love it she glued a crotchet ribbon on it and it looks great, I also have a pink beaded bracelet on..I'm not sure what stones they are but my dad got them for me, I have so many of them I have a jade one as well which is a beautiful green colour that I plan on wearing a lot this summer. I'll ask my dad what sort of stone this is, because I know they're remedial :). The sheer cape I'm wearing is one of my fave pieces at the moment! It's so lovely, falls so great and gives off this pj vibe :P like I just got out of bed and decided to go somewhere in my pjs. It's most girls dream to be able to go out in comfy pjs and be called stylish, and the least bit insane. I have another one as well which is a little shorter, in a sheer fabric with red flowers on it, you're bound to see it sometime soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My bag , I got it from forever new, it wasn't in the picture on lookbook but it cost me $60 :) so pretty! It's perfect for uni because I can fit my iPad in it, wallet, water, phone and still have room left. I wore a pair of white sandals I got from Europe :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If anyone out there is thinking, "gee I've seen that top on a 14 year old the other day I swear..." then you probably may have, because indeed it is from SUPRÉ. You can't deny that when you're on a strict budget, their basics are heaven sent! Their other clothes have improved heaps over the last four years I didn't even want to set foot in their store. They have some really nice things now, nothing flashy that you would go "whoa that's so different I haven't seen that anywhere else" but ones that you would team with more busy pieces. For pieces I could melt in the sight of I go to Forever New, Bardöt, Sportsgirl (if I want something more hippy or indie) etc. My fave is Forever New though, they have my style all over the place in that store...although my bank account fears for it's life when one is in sight haha. Boxing day is coming up though girlies ;) so I'm going to get a job asap so I can hurry up and save up for it already! I just posted a status on facebook telling everyone not to buy me any presents, instead give me money :P ehehe. I'm one to buy meaningful presents and I appreciate them a lot, but I haven't saved up much this year so I'm going to need all the help I can get :(.</div>

But I'm back :), I realised a week ago that I need to start doing things again that make me happy. I stopped doing many things I liked because my relationship started going downhill I couldn't concentrate on many things, and then we broke up, then you have that stage when you just don't want to do anything at all! Oh it was terrible, and I'm sure all you girls know what I mean. I mean, honestly, put your hands up if you've ever felt like this after a breakup. It's the worst feeling, but I knew it would wear off very soon, and it did and now I'm back and all shopped out! So here come the new outfit posts, clothing hauls, my rants about my love for designers and something new I thought I would try make-up tutorials! My best friend said I should start making YouTube videos, because she says I'm really good at doing my make-up and I thought I might as well :) I have nothing to lose. So I'll post them on here as well and you can tell me what you think.<br />
<br />
I always hear girls rant on about the make-up brand NYX whether it be a lip stick, blush or eyeshadow pigment. I thought I would go on the hunt to see how much these little babies cost, and believe it or not it's as cheap as the amount of times I heard people rant on about it. I bought lip sticks for $7, lip pencils for $4 and eyeshadows for $6. So cheap! And they work so much better than drugstore brands. I don't want to hate on any brands but I'm not the biggest fan of ones like Revlon or Maybelline. They're overpriced in Australia for the quality they bring.<br />
<br />
I posted a few things I got on my facebook, but the photos aren't the best quality so I don't want to put them on here :) I think I'll start with the eyes! That's the second thing I always do after the base.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

5-Colour Eyeshadow Palette in "I Dream of Barbados"<br />
First off, my fave selection of eyeshadows right now in one palette! The picture doesn't give justice to the amazing colours I can assure you. I'm usually afraid of pink pigments on my eyes, because they can easily make you look like you have some sort of icky eye infection, but this one is so lovely and professional that I fell in love straight away. These colours are so lovely! I was able to go out partying saturday night using four of these colours alone :) so lovely and they stayed on the whole night. The name of the palette is also so cute! Whenever I tell someone or see the packaging it makes me smile :) I want to buy a few other ones from this palette selection as well because they're just so nice. In the US it's only $8.75 for a palette meanwhile it's $16.99 here :( but these are still much cheaper than many other quality brands.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Glitter Cream Palette in "Ice Queen"<br />
I would just like to say, <i>do not put these on top of powder eyeshadows girls</i>! I made that mistake on saturday night, not being sure of how creamy they would be and they were pretty solid, so I had to redo my right eye on saturday night :( But these do look really really nice on, just not with powder eyeshadow as you can't blend them properly so it just looks silly. This only cost me $9.95, so again they're quite inexpensive for the quality they bring.<br />
<br />
I also bought a black eyeliner, which I also love :) it's just a simple black eye pencil. It's quite creamy, but not creamy enough to smudge so I would definitely recommend it :)<br />
<br />
And now, <i>ta daaaaa</i> onto the lips!<br />

Lip Smacking Fun Color in "617 - Summer Love"<br />
I opened this at the shops, right after I bought it to try it out, and I accidentally broke it. It was so embarrassing because I didn't realise until after I went to put it away. It is the creamiest lip stick I have ever come across. So good! And it's really good on winter days when your lips are looking for some moisture. Opt for this lip stick if you want something creamy and soft :) The colour is also lovely, I have been looking for the perfect nude for a year and I have found it.<br />

Jumbo Lip Pencil in "712 - Plush Red"<br />
Yummy colour! But also <i>full</i> of colour, so girls please be careful when putting on and make sure not to do it in the car haha speaking from experience it's really hard to get it off.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3AXmO1dAzFP3LJJNMFArRHoKfWSVpOzMzwBF4s82LvEPDTW7I0TmN_Ldl8vF5qQ4FC-Eut-ivMvk3e3uHLOuhrdX5LwP1L9Mq77Ar2c0ztBWW2HUTDQxmA9AagyQs8VqM0xZEY_kKkcCV/s1600/hotred.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3AXmO1dAzFP3LJJNMFArRHoKfWSVpOzMzwBF4s82LvEPDTW7I0TmN_Ldl8vF5qQ4FC-Eut-ivMvk3e3uHLOuhrdX5LwP1L9Mq77Ar2c0ztBWW2HUTDQxmA9AagyQs8VqM0xZEY_kKkcCV/s200/hotred.jpg" width="100" /></a></div>
Jumbo Lip Pencil in "704 - Hot Red"<br />
Also such a nice colour, it reminds me of Dita Von Teese, she always has beautiful pin up makeup with the nicest shade of red lip stick. I actuall lost my original one I bought a few days after buying it but I replaced it! That's how much I love it :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEierkG8Bsvz4FrcbN8j1hd19JcgRloHLee8mPiNaZ26X-nLLwgkmLvhw8mi2f0mn2QAJvyQMUGVRHX2-aarOwbldrO8htLowWqAaVDm-3JEn7EoUK1BGpR19TXtNZS03dRGshtCkJSkw86h/s1600/babypink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEierkG8Bsvz4FrcbN8j1hd19JcgRloHLee8mPiNaZ26X-nLLwgkmLvhw8mi2f0mn2QAJvyQMUGVRHX2-aarOwbldrO8htLowWqAaVDm-3JEn7EoUK1BGpR19TXtNZS03dRGshtCkJSkw86h/s200/babypink.jpg" width="100" /></a></div>
Lip Smacking Fun Color in "592 - Baby Pink"<br />
Also the same amount of creaminess as the top one, and it's such a nice colour. More shimmery than it is in the picture, and it's not too noticeable when on but it's really nice when you have dramatic eyes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't these colours just make you want to jump out of your chair and run to buy them? :D I don't often like a make-up brand too much, they never really get my attention, but NYX has lovely colours and is good quality! :)<br />
<br />
Hope I encouraged some of you to buy something from their range ;)<br />
<br />
Have a lovely day everyone :)<br />

Her style is to die for, and her hair is always sexy. Right now, everyone is talking about her beautiful look at the BAFTA's :), so pretty! What made me notice it more is her hair. I'm always jealous of her hair styles in gossip girl, and have numerously copied many of them (with a lot of compliments might I add).<br />
I think part of the reason this look caught my eye is because I'm a big fan of plaits and braids. They make an up-do look so romantic and girly :) I will definitely try this one out, if I do I'll post it :)<br />

I'm not sure, but I really hope she's wearing underwear :) No one wants to pull a Britney at any red carpet event. Her dress has the most amazing details on it and the colour is so elegant, reminds me of a modern wedding dress. Her gossip girl outfits, even though those would be styled by a professional, are so great I tend to recreate them as well :P<br />
Her earrings are so big! I can only imagine the pain that would come with this piece :)<br />
I best be off, the weather is amazing today so I think I'm going to lay outside for some sun :) make sure to put on plenty of sunscreen if you're planning to go outside this summer :)<br />
<br />
Have a lovely Tuesday everyone :)<br />

And just between us girls, I don't need a bra for this dress, and all girls know what a great feeling it is when you can leave your bra at home and still be wearing something nice.<br />

Pin-up girl makeup is such a classic, but if it's nailed in my opinion it would win me over if I had a choice between other looks. It's ideal for whatever face features, and it's so classy and clean. </div><div align="left">The art of the 'perfect red lips' <i>(yes, I know her lip stick shade is a more berry-ish colour :P)</i> have to be practiced many times before nailed perfectly, but I think it's worth it.

Keep dreaming sister, I was there and I'm no celebrity ;).</em><br />
<br />
Okay, so I may not have been to <em>this </em>particular one, I was still in Australia at this time, but my dad was, and that's close enough. My dad is a part time photographer, part time business man. He took the following lovely shots <em>(unless stated otherwise)</em>. These shots were taken at a fashion show called 'Gombold Újra', you can take google translates words for it, or mine <em>(mine's better ;) ) </em>, but this simply means 'Button it up again" not some fancy name, but the photos you're about to see are seriously nice. The clothes were designed AND sewn by young aspiring Hungarian designers. Seriously amazing what these people have done :) I admire peolpe who can sew amazingly, because it really takes some time to learn the tricks of the trade. If anyone has ever tried sewing their own clothes from scratch without help, they are nodding right now knowing what I'm blabbering on about over here.<br />
<br />
Anyways, these clothes are amazing!! The theme was to take traditional Hungarian clothing, and to make their own, that would have the same feel. I've picked out a few of my faves <em>(okay maybe a bit more than a few, but it was really hard to resist, it's like shoes you just can't pick!) </em>and put them up here, you tell me what you think! If there are any outfits in particular that has caught your eye, or you want to know more about the lovely designer, let me know, I'm sure my dad can let me know who is behind it :)<br />

All this would be missing is a little less orange and more green. I liked this one because it looked traditional, yet it had a modern edge to it. In my opinion, trends haven't changed too much, it's been a huge cycle. Floral! It's there, and it was there a hundred years ago as well, plus, it was all handmade.<br />

The colours look so great, the dresses are modern but they look traditional in a few ways. The designer really nailed these two in my opinion. The red stockings are amazing with these dresses. I don't think I would wear these out anywhere, they would need to be toned down a bit of course, but the styling of it looks amazing.<br />

Perhaps the flower pattern on the front one? I'm amazed at the simplicity of these three designs, yet the amount of style that there is between them <em>(it's a lot I can tell you that). </em>Odd combination of colours, I don't prefer to team two brights with one dark, but it's seemed to work.<br />

Soo this season, and the past few for that matter. I love those tights, don't we all though? Please, object if you don't think the tights look cool. I don't think I would wear it, but it looks great on the model and with that ensamble. The teeny tiny print dress is just adorable, I would definitely wear that, same with the tops towards the back. I want to know where to buy these pieces. Showing them on the catwalk is just plain mean teasing!!<br />

I don't know one season in the past couple of years where I've been told NOT to wear floral because if I do then I might as well walk down the runway of shame.<br />

Reminds me of kids movies when I was little, if they had a devil in it, it looked like these girls! Okay, maybe not like these girls...but the colours anyway. If I had to style some modern musical that had a devil in it, I would choose these chic outfits.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwvz1gnAceCtnA_JW2P1_Ei8mJgcl3-FGDAbmyv1wLHhlE3nb_7Nm-tPUwTx-BYg7NXjQqZOQ6fQyfcZZVfoGCJpOKG4yy0c4G9K2xKQoFRyFtaCNA5a7qU2if1EUgKeS0tGL_a4w1D5HN/s1600/221276_186022578112478_100001142101417_473861_5004505_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="432" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwvz1gnAceCtnA_JW2P1_Ei8mJgcl3-FGDAbmyv1wLHhlE3nb_7Nm-tPUwTx-BYg7NXjQqZOQ6fQyfcZZVfoGCJpOKG4yy0c4G9K2xKQoFRyFtaCNA5a7qU2if1EUgKeS0tGL_a4w1D5HN/s640/221276_186022578112478_100001142101417_473861_5004505_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> So chic, so traditional. Maybe not the colours, but the designs are terrific. It's amazing how a particular country's traditional clothing can be modernized in such a trendy way. Btw, those little boots boots? I want!<br />
<br />
All these outfits are so amazing! I loved them, all the designers are just so talented, and I'm sure they will make it a long long way. To design these clothes is one thing, but to make them, <em>oh my</em> that would be insane :)<br />
<br />
Have a lovely lazy Sunday, signing off at 1.47am..I'm a trooper :)<br />

And other Alice+Olivia goodies to kick off the weekThe other day I was doing a bit of research for this blog, and I thought I would do an entry about those cute little ankle boots everyones wearing (or as I like to call them, booties or boots boots). I bumped into a really cute pair, by a designer who I haven't heard of yet (but I bet the rest of their collection is just as jaw-dropping-worthy as these little beasts :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7DkN1fuPTeI6nhZ6cQqCf8BzU2jMl-oJQfc9hdMzJi8f9hzgjoFel6xaPgRT00_nSIlhqlkFVEP6dCVYGWF6muiOJI_iHyxXX35Fo02PVcXw8pICy1CN-SSkqaZEwnl-_7uNVt8Du4amR/s1600/alice4013425466_p1_1-0_347x683.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7DkN1fuPTeI6nhZ6cQqCf8BzU2jMl-oJQfc9hdMzJi8f9hzgjoFel6xaPgRT00_nSIlhqlkFVEP6dCVYGWF6muiOJI_iHyxXX35Fo02PVcXw8pICy1CN-SSkqaZEwnl-_7uNVt8Du4amR/s400/alice4013425466_p1_1-0_347x683.jpg" width="202" /></a></div>These Alice and Olivia Lesley booties are so cute!! I fell in love, I have to have it. The only problem here is that they retail at $345 which I would never spend on a pair of shoes! I thought, I would google around and try find a cheaper pair, perhaps the same pair on sale, but I wasn't very successful :(. I was highly devastated, so I call all you lovely fashion bloggers out there, if you see these on sale, or something similar around $100 please make sure to let me know :)<br />
I found these perfect for me because they're so sincere, and polite, while still having that glamorous edge to it. The colour is so appropriate, versatile and classy. I could imagine a lady that lives in the heart of New York wearing these. It was love at first sight.<br />
Teamed with a pair of indigo skinnies and a creamy/neutral coloured slim-fit t-shirt would go great with it for day, and for night...well it speaks for itself haha. It could go with basically anything! :)<br />

When you click on it you'll find a white 'One shoulder godess dress' somewhere towards the bottom.<br />

This piece is so chic, so her! I'm not sure if I would pair the booties and this dress together, I would have to try them on and see, but even if I wouldn't, they both look amazing! This dress retails at $298. I would have to be going somewhere pretty special to buy this little beauty!<br />
<br />
What do you think of these? The rest of their collection? Let me know :)<br />
Have a lovely Monday everyone, as lovely Mondays can be :)<br />

I went shopping the other day, just with my mum to get out of the house for a bit, but for me that always means buying nail polish! On this side of the world anyway :) back home it's different, I don't know they just don't have the brands that they do over here, ones over here are so much more colourful, and way more nicer to my wallet :)<br />
I find the nicest colours here from the least expensive brands, equals out to about $3 or $3.50 a bottle, I consider that REALLY cheap haha :) back home it's more like $20 for nice colours. Anyways, I just thought I would take a picture of all of the ones I've bought here, and pick out my fave ones :)<br />
<br />
Right now the brand I'm paying most attention to is "New York Color", their color palette is quite extensive, such nice colours and they're all up to date with the latest trends. I was able to find a really tasteful bright orange and also a green (which I had troubles with when I was looking through other brands like L'oreal/Max Factor etc.) they last as long as other ones would, so I wasn't complaining about that, their pricings were more than reasonable (maybe not for European standards but for Australian ones anyway). To be honest I prefer to buy these less known brands over ones like L'oreal or Revlon. I don't see any difference in between them, and they have a better colour palette. I like going out clubbing, so I like the idea of sparkly/more attention seeking nail colours, and NYC can definitely give me what I want!<br />
<br />
Another brand I particularly like (even though I haven't bought many of this summer) is Miss Sporty. A more known brand throughout Europe, a bit more expensive (by a dollar or two), and their colour palette is really great as well. They have a "disco" range out right now, where they sell a clear nail polish that actually glows in blue light. It's honestly really cool! I've tried it :P my dad has a blue light at his house, so I bought a bottle, and I got it out, as curious as I am...and HERE IT IS! My bottle of nail polish...glowing in the dark! I was so impressed :P. How cool is it?!<br />

These really describe the colours I like to wear right now :) so cute! I'm also in love with glitter at the moment and I'm sure not neglecting my nails from it :) I don't like head to toe sparkles, but some here and there I think makes anyone feel like a star, especially when out clubbing!<br />
<br />
I might end my rant here, but make sure to let me know if you need the colour and brand name of any of these nail polishes up top :) Have a lovely Sunday everyone<br />

Instead of posting pictures of myself, I would google, and find pictures that inspire me for new outfits :) I'm seeing all these lovely bloggers out there colour blocking! I LOVE IT! I think it's so much fun and will turn that nasty rainy-boring-day mood around. You know what I'm talking about? That feeling you get when you wake up happy, look out your window and realise that, indeed it is raining! Rain is nice, when you have to spend the day at home cramming for that exam tomorrow, then I think "oh thank gosh, even the weather is working with me". Either way, my point was that such colourful outfits make me smile :) I've chosen a few pictures that I liked and have inspired me for my next shopping trip :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidIeipqgwWfIwu1FOCwuNAUElNX7iNUnDnalRoBlXxOpUWf0r7zlWX3KEb6aSiDhs2-RmF74nBnvQexBLSWx4oOra-MjJQGAZS45IK1EuKXKNiTXAPWUyABTGoG3s0AnsWj4KKMf5hhXof/s1600/richard-nicoll-ss-09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidIeipqgwWfIwu1FOCwuNAUElNX7iNUnDnalRoBlXxOpUWf0r7zlWX3KEb6aSiDhs2-RmF74nBnvQexBLSWx4oOra-MjJQGAZS45IK1EuKXKNiTXAPWUyABTGoG3s0AnsWj4KKMf5hhXof/s400/richard-nicoll-ss-09.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>When I googled "colour blocking" this was one of the first pictures that came up, and I loved it! This picture was in a post on an online magazine called "MC MAG". They also mentioned anothe bizzare choice of colour that I never thought would end up on my wishlist anytime soon. Mustard! One word, describing a pesky little colour that has wormed it's way into my heart, and onto my wishlist! I got a mustard cardie years ago from a fashionista friend of my parents, I said thank you but really I was thinking "What were you thinking? You have this amazing style, and you give me...this?" I secretly liked the cardie, still do, it's been sitting in my wardrobe for years and years, and now I can finally wear it! :)<br />
<br />
Anyways back to my rant about how much I like colour blocking at the moment :) the picture above would describe my fave colour combinations at the moment. I found another picture, I'm not sure which runway these are from, but I definitely like the feel of the picture on the left :) it's sexy, and so vibrant, I love it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirKuU9W0DXm57-nE-cVm-qozETnAYJSb0ycBarShmDU-zMaZ2tkkftkjGjJXh50xGGs6Ouy3QooXPCtht_35jBw5BuIpgggx4Qh3gn_npaQGyrov1vR3B9XEc97dG2D2Dd5FkBKDMLqn8g/s1600/COLORBLOCKING.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirKuU9W0DXm57-nE-cVm-qozETnAYJSb0ycBarShmDU-zMaZ2tkkftkjGjJXh50xGGs6Ouy3QooXPCtht_35jBw5BuIpgggx4Qh3gn_npaQGyrov1vR3B9XEc97dG2D2Dd5FkBKDMLqn8g/s400/COLORBLOCKING.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I've noticed that accessories are a minimum with these sorts of outfits, but I think that throwing in a pair of white feather earrings wouldn't hurt anyone :) I bought a pair from H&M recently, and they look great with my hair up in a ponytail and with a bright top.<br />
<br />
I think I'm going to end this here, but check back in and finish once I get back. My mum is hurrying me to get ready because she wants to go out, I may even post an outfit when I get back ;) who knows!<br />
Have a lovely Thursday everyone! xoxoxeniihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13078316996758192465noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298661305768882056.post-80216094951589133242011-06-22T18:14:00.000+10:002011-06-22T18:18:06.298+10:00EvolvingI feel like my style has changed a bit since I started my chictopia blog, I'm starting to pay more attention to the fine details, accessories, and starting to use inspirations for my new outfits :) I thank all the pretty ladies posting pretty outfits on chictopia for that :) so thank you lovely ladies.<br />
<br />
I took these photos yesterday, actually my mumma did :), wuith half a hand :P not bad efforts for that I think. It was raining half the day, well the half that we took these pictures in anyway :( so I couldn't go outside to take them, or anything!!<br />
<br />
So my inspiration for this outfit was a picture out of the catalogue on threadscene.com at the moment :) the girl is wearing a striped pink and white maxi very similar to the one I wore two entries down, but I didn't want to wear that again. Anyways, the girl had more of a bohoish bag, which I don't have with me on this holiday, but I do have, not the exact same one BUT it would have gone with the outfit :) I think I'm going to go thrifting for a similar bag as was in the magazine, or just buy it if it's in my budget because I've seen heaps of those sorts of bags, but I didn't like it on the shelf.<br />
<br />
You know those pieces that you'll see in store on the shelf and be like "why put that on the shelves? It looks hideous!" then you go try it on, or if it's an accessory you'll see someone else wearing it or you'll see it online and go "hey that really works". That was the bag!!! :P Sometimes it's pointless buying something like that high price online or in store because it may only work with that one outfit, so then I will go thrifting for it and buy it for such a small price that I can afford to wear it even just that once and never again.<br />
<br />
My dad's takng pictures of me today, it's for a contest, and since he's really good with photography, I asked him to help me out :D I pictured a really fierce set of photos with a short tight high-waisted black skirt and a red top, something simple so the attention isn't drawn to the outfit. Red lipstick with winged out liquid eyeliner (so as always I'm going to youtube my makeup). I was thinking of straightening my hair, but I might curl it? I'm not too sure yet, but I'll figure it out :)<br />
<br />
Anyways my nanna just got here, so I better cut this short and say hey. Have a lovely day everyone.<br />
xoxo<br />

P.S. I couldn't upload the photos :( so in the meantime please visit my chictopia, I'll upload the photos when I get on my laptop later on today :) xoxoxeniihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13078316996758192465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298661305768882056.post-17461088996629198292011-06-20T01:00:00.000+10:002011-06-20T01:01:43.592+10:00Sheer sexyThese pictures are from yesterday :) my Nana has a cute little weekend house up in the mountains, and we went there for the day, it's so nice there the weather was amazing (unlike today). Theres a tiny river, or stream whatever you want to call it that flows through the whole city and she's lucky enough to have it come through right behind her little weekend home :) so cute!! The water was so clear it was so pretty :)<br />
I wore:<br />
Shorts: <i>H&M</i> for about $10AUD (they were on sale a couple of days ago ;)<br />
Blouse: <i>Supré</i>, I think these cost me $15AUD a while back like half a year ago, I don't normally shop there because I don't like their clothes, it's all overly mass produced to the point where you can't find anything you won't see on a 13 year old. All aside I really liked this blouse, it's so flowy and it was really cheap :)<br />
Sunglasses: <i>Christian Dior</i>, but these ones are probably around 20-30 years old lol my step dad bought it on ebay as a vintage, it says it was made in Germany, not sure how old it would be but I love it :) <br />
Earrings: <i>H&M</i>, this was part of a set of three :) this one was so pretty!! There was also one that was a turquoise (they're not feathers, just studs), a colour I'm absolutely head over heels for at the moment and a pair of simple silver ball studs :)<br />
Under the blouse I'm wearing an minty olive green bikini top from <i>Quicksilver</i>. I saw so many girls on chictopia wearing a bra under sheer blouses like the one I'm wearing, and I thought I put my own little twist on it with one of my favourite bikini tops. It's really funny that I needed new bikinis and right when I said those exact words to my mum we bumped into a surf shop where just for the day everything was 50% off :) so lucky! I always have such good luck when I go shopping. I love this look, the bikini top under the sheer blouse is so sexy in my opinion :). You can't really see the bikini top in the pictures though :( which is quite upsetting, because I really wanted to show everyone that YES I was able to pull something off with my own twist! <i>Too bad</i> it won't happen today :(<br />
<br />
Have a great Sunday afternoon everyone, I hope yours is just as lazy as mine has been :)<br />

Okay, this sounded really full of myself, I'm really not like that...but whenever I see something nice, I HAVE to have it...do you know that feeling? It's like the little stylish devil inside gets the best of me. The feeling when you have 3 bags on one arm, and 4 on the other and you tell yourself "NO, I won't buy this, because I don't need it!....Okay, maybe just this one more dress....I mean I won't be hurting anyone, I just won't shop again until next week, promise..." You pay for that amazing top that the little devil told you to buy, then when you're just about out the door you see another cute thing...and you HAVE to have it.<br />
<br />
I can't count on two hands how many times that happened to me. It happened today, and three days ago, and two weeks ago, and....actually I won't count for you, because I can't remember how many times it's happened either :P.<br />
<br />
Shopping is evil. It's like that saying..."Keep your friends close, but you enemies closer." I swear, my money is my best friend, and sales are my enemies. I wouldn't call them enemies though :( they do me so good 99% of the time.<br />
<br />
H&M always gets the worst out of me...their clothes are so delicious. I swear, it's like they have their own little devil. We don't have h&m in Australia...that I know of? Either way, we just don't have it in Brisbane :) nope.....we don't have H&M in Brisbane...better believe it everyone :P I really wish we did. I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that when I get back, the lovely queen street mall of ours will have acquired one :) For the record get home on the 19th of July, you have until then Brisbane to step up your game :)<br />
<br />
I've been on holidays for 4 weeks counting this week. Away from my friends, my room, my amazing bed that I adore so much, and my boyfriend who I adore more. I've bought 20 bottles of nail polish (in the most amazing colours btw), 5 bags, half a wardrobe of clothes, about 6 pairs of shoes and so much makeup and presents for people....this is getting out of hand I swear :) Someone help me before I go up to the counter at the airport in Budapest and they tell me I have to pay an excess of $160 again to take my things home! Or....maybe I will just have to pack smart? :P They never weigh my carry-on bag. This year, I designated my country road duffel bag for my carry on. Her and I have gotten along well ever since I started university this year :) she has treated me well, so I treated her to a two month holiday ;)<br />
<br />
I don't have pictures of my outfit today :( The weather was horrible...not horrible as in rainy horrible, but it was cold (for my Australian temp threshold) and it wasn't sunny...horrible gray skies. I hated it...but once again, I went shopping. What's new :P. The only thing that makes me feel a little better when I shop is that either it's for someone, or that it was on sale. If it's not on sale, and if it was expensive I feel horrible :( Maybe I'm a compulsive shopper? I can't help to want to look good though :S it's not my fault, it's society's.<br />
<br />
I should cut this short right now :)<br />
It's 10.54pm , and I need to sleep after all the walking I did today.<br />
Night pretties :)<br />
