Posts in the last couple of months have been scarse so here is my quick atempt to catch you all up in my world of fashion! I'll start by going through each of these pictures. Alright number one, Micheal Kors watch. As you could probably remember I've been wanting a gold watch for a while now. I'd seen a few around but when I found this one I liked how it wasn't completely gold but instead as some people call it "sunglasses plastic". It's a great way to subtly incorporate animal print into my outfits though it did take some getting use to as it is HUGE!

Ok so the next being Country Road corduroys. I've posted about these ones before and I ended up buying them just in time for winter. They're great even though they can be debated as coloured jeans... Of course I would have to include something in here from one of my favorite designers, Minkpink! This time it's a tye-dye pull over and if you can remeber to a while back they are very similar to my tie-dye shorts. Even though Minkpink is one of my favourites, the designer of the dresses Rachel Gilbert is quickly becoming another favourite. I tried on one of her dresses (the black one)  out shopping the other day and I absalutely loved it! Even though she designs for formal wear I couldn't help but look up her series and fall in love with the longer pink version of the dress... Hopefully there'll be an event later this year where I will need a lovely new formal dress.

Ok so next is the May black wedges. I'd been eyeing off these babies for a while when one day a email popped into my inbox and told me that the lovely people at May were having a sale and that it just so happened the shoes I'd been wanting were half price... bliss! Lucky for me they had my size and were here within two days. Though I haven't yet had a chance to wear them and I am still trying to get a hang of walking in them (14cm heel can be bit tricky!).

The last but not least is my new Iphone case. My friend bought me the cross stitch kit about three months ago and I hadn't had a chance to start it until last week. A few late nights later and this is the result! I am sure I have forgotten a million things that I have loved/wanted/seen/bought/ got inspired by/made. Actually come to think of it I have made a lot recently but that will have to be for another day...

I'm here still...

No post in the last million weeks... I must be up to something right? Well not much besides school work and with today being my first exam, I don't know why I've decided to start posting again now. But here are all the edited photos from the photo shoot! I hope you can recognise the green dress...! We'll see how all the time of holidays go and how many posts I manage to do. Ciao

Photo Shoot

To say no posts in a long time is an understatement. It's been months I know and it will probably be months until the next one. But I really wanted to share one of my photos from a shoot I have been doing for my photography assignment. I really like how my dress looks in this photo and of course how stunning my beautiful friend looks. I can't wait to finish editing the rest... until next time Adios!

Weekly Wish List: Corduroy

Country Road Skinny Cord Jean



If you didn't already know, I don't like coloured jeans. I never really have. But to probably most of your surprise I really like coloured corduroy jeans. I bet you're thinking, whats the difference? I slightly agree with that and have decided that coloured corduroy jeans are on the border of become coloured jeans. Think of them as coloured jean's second cousin who lives on the other side of the world and who you haven't heard from since you were 13. Then it makes them perfectly OK and different from coloured jeans. The thing I love most about corduroy is it has that lived in feel. I guess I haven't moved on just yet from my hippy summer... Though I love the red and brown I think a pair in either maroon or burnt orange would definitely make my winter wardrobe. The one thing about corduroy is that it only works if its tight fitted. If it's too loose it just reminds me of my primary school uniform and please don't even think about flared corduroy jeans...

What do you think? Are corduroy jeans cool? Or am I being a total hypocrite?

Weekly Wish List: Pullover

American Apparel Fishermans Pullover

It may still be summer according to the calender but the weather is proving otherwise and so this week I have decided to play along and go for a pullover. I've seen a few around but all of them were either the wrong colour for my skin tone or a weird style. But the lovely people at American Apparel have made the perfect style pullover and in as many colours as you can think of. There are sixteen different colours in fact and I love them all. But I choose four that I thought would work best. I love the simplicity of the camel coloured one but the navy and purple are more exciting. Even though it's obvious that the camel coloured one would go with a lot more, I still think the navy and purple would go with most thinks as well. My favourite would have to be the last one. It's a dark grey with specks of different colours. It would go with everything and still give me the bits of colour I want. I would be happy with any really or all...

What do you think? Too Nana? Or perfect for winter?

Weekly Wish List: Ombre Lips

A couple of days ago I saw this look in a magazine and really wanted to try it. I spent a couple of hours you tubing how to's and practising over and over. But I still couldn't get it right at all. My problem... the colour lipstick's I was using were too similar. Even though to me my pinks looked totally different, on they looked exactly the same. So my weekly wish list for this week is to get completely different colour lipsticks to create the ombre look. You are also probably wondering why I want to make my lips two different colours when they can look just as cool with one. Well this can also make your lips look bigger and fuller which is pretty cool if you ask me. They also look awesome and are something different from the too common smoky eye. The one thing though is it has to be shiny and you have to keep the rest of your make up simple. Meaning you have to use clear gloss on top to complete the look and step away from the eye liner... And unlike me you have to use complete different colours (still matching though!).

What do you think? Is it something you will try? Or is it best left to the runway and professionals?

My Little Wallet

After just counting I realised I actually have 13 wallets. Yes 13. Whilst trying to justify this really I only use four and have only bought three of them. The rest were just gifts. So really adding one more to the collection really doesn't matter. So welcome wallet 14 you will be truly loved just like your 13 other brothers and sisters. Though you're not suppose to have favourites, this one is. Only because I made it. I saw the pattern and just decided to do it. I picked up the next coolest looking material and then this baby was created. Surprisingly it didn't take too long and is also the perfect size for my Mimco bag. It is also the first thing I have made to wear my new labels. I haven't gotten around to sticking them on things I have already made (see I told you it would take me a couple of months... at least.) but it was lucky enough to be stuck on something. Even though I already have a truck load of wallets and I absolutely love this one I am hoping to make a few more of them. I don't know what I'll do with them but they are just so darn cute.

P.S How cool do the labels look?!
