OMG

TWO posts in ONE day. Get excited. Though I suppose this makes it 3. And its technically over 2 days cause its past midnight. But these are mere technicalities. Gotta love holidays, so much time for outfit photos to be taken and hours to be spent in front of the computer.

Photo my own, from Schoolies, a sunrise.

Don’t expect consistency…

…in my Daily Style posts. You’ll be setting yourself up for disappointment.

  Dress by Mink Pink [LOVE this brand]
  Leggings by…face off. Dear god. Don’t hate me, I hate myself enough.
  Shoes by I love Billy.

  Hadn’t accessorised when I took the photo. My bad. Wore vintage chain round my wrist, ring
  from interstate and another from Etsy, and my clock necklace which is conveniently black and
  yellow. And here is a closer look at the shoes, cute no? They’ve streched a little but they’re
  material so somewhat expected.

So

As you may or may not be aware, I have long blonde hair. I quite like the colour of it, especially in summer when it lightens up and I get these sweet natural highlights people pay big bucks for in salons. However, and I never thought I’d say this; right now, I wish I had brown hair.

I’m attending a superheroes and villains partay this wednesday night [gotta love uni holidays] and it would be REALLY EASY to go as Rogue from X-Men. But, putting grey streaks in blonde hair? Quite futile, at least if, like me, you try and do it with talcum powder. TOTALLY didn’t work. Might have a quick look for spray on silver or something…or could just go as Storm instead and pretend she has blonde hair…after all they did just wear all black. Leather. Which I won’t be, I looked for black lame leggings in Supre today but alas only found fluro yellow and pale pink. Truly shattered. No idea where else might have them. So I am now sad.

See, Stom’s hair is blonde in the comic, just not the movie!! Though my outfit isn’t really that similar, I’m over it, and so are you. And thats Rogue on the right clearly.

So, thanks goes to you, my non-existant reader, for helping me make this decision!

 ’Nuff said.

Try As I Might…

…I cannot be a regular blogger. My bad. However, deal with it cause something tells me theres not much I can do it.

“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” - Oscar Wilde.

A little quote, found on Starbucks and Jane Austen [starbucksandjane.blogspot.com]. I love this sort of stuff. *sigh*

This little leather jacket is on my to buy list for winter for SURE. Where is it from you might ask? Why this little boutique store known as Target, theres a few around, you might have heard of it…

Shocked? I was. Theres a similar jacket with a hood in Bardot [below] which I WANT [I know, your thinking Bardot?!!, so did I] but is $299 and yes its a leather jacket but I just cannot justify that at my age, on my income, while trying to save for a ski trip in July. This Target version is a slick $99. Yee haw.

The totally lust-worthy Bardot version. I may have to do an Ebay search to see if I can find one, on my last Savers mission I found one I liked, not really like these, more biker and very 80’s and just a little bit too big which is why I didn’t get it. So my search for a leather jacket for winter continues, I shall keep you updated.

Anyone else seeing the Amy Winehouse influence on the styling of this shoot btw? The other female model used had the exact same eyeliner as her, this models got the hair and similar heavy cat-like eye make-up. Interesting choice of muse, though I guess they look good. I guess.
Catch ya’ll later, if not, twas night to meet you anyway.

Peppermint & Bergamot…

…smell really pretty. Especially together. I’ve mixed together these two essential oils but I have an issue that its an Extremely Potent Combination. Especially the peppermint, has a cooling effect on the skin. My issue is that I don’t know how to dilute it! I can’t use water for obvious reasons and any other oil will have its own scent. Tis a small problem. Smells sooooo good though.

In other news, discovered another new blog today, Fashionologie has great little reviews of THE fashion shows, though I read the whole page in about 10 minutes so its fleeting entertainment.
Also, visit the also-newly-discovered-though-not-as-new Starbucks and Jane Austen tis quite the fun. Love her article of the Vogue Paris girls, they do fashion like no other. Probably why their the Vogue Paris girls isn’t it. Ya.

Download Cold War Kids. Now. Modern Indie rock, love it!

In a completely different genre, The Bird and The Bee. I love Again & Again, Fucking Boyfriend and I Hate Camera. I guess you would call it indie pop, iTunes labels it indie but I have a beyonce knowles song that says its classical. So I wouldn’t put too much faith in that. Not really sure. BUT its great.

My older sister got home from overseas today, she’s been gone for two months so yay, presents were lovely also :). She’s currently sleeping off the jet lag.

Well, thats all for now, I start uni tomorrow so I’ll try and post but I may be tired/dying/extremely busy, so I’m not promising anything. But then, who am I talking to? And, if there is someone reading this, I basically told you don’t expect new posts this week! Well, despite no doubt chasing away the [most likely non-existent] readers if this blog, twas nice to meet you anyway.
