Paisley

So I had a lazy day yesterday. Woke up late, stayed in my PJs until the early afternoon, watched movies and pretty much just wasted lots and lots of time. It was great... at first. See I'm not one to have too much lazy-time. I get irritated, restless, impatient. I need to get out and do things or I go insane. Naturally I started to feel guilty for being so lazy, I mean the sun was out, it seemed warm and all I wanted to do was have a picnic in a nice park with yummy food and perhaps some soccer. So I'm all like, "I'm going to get ready now and wear nice clothes and do something productive!" I get into the shower, I'm feeling motivated, it's a sunny day... but no, no it's not. When I get out there's some random massive rainstorm and there's wind blowing through all the windows I just opened, and it's cold, and then I get depressed. And it's been cold ever since. I'm miserable. Cold makes me sad.

But at least there's sun. At least we can be somewhat deceived that this weather is happy weather. Lets be honest, all I really want to do is curl up in bed, drink milo and watch The Voice.

Mum bought me these paisley print trousers from ASOS and I am in luurrrvvveee. They're super comfy as well, non of that oh-it's-so-tight-on-my-waist-I-need-a-belt-and-I-can't-walk-properly business. They're fresh and they've got this intricate print with spring colours... they're so perfect. Totally going to wear them when I'm in America (that's right, I'm going in 7 weeks with Marni and Rachel and I can't wait. I'm going to explode).

On another note, I bought this beautiful chiffon shirt from Nasty Gal a couple of weeks ago and realised I couldn't really afford it only after I received it in the mail. I'm selling it. Have a look here, although it's $36 or something it ended up costing me $50 to have it shipped here since postage is $15. It's never worn, still got tags, and I'm selling it for $35 including postage. It's a size M. Want it? Contact me if you know me. If you don't know me comment here and we'll sort something out.
EDIT: Sorry guys, have now sold this. But I'll leave the picture here, so we can admire its beauty.

I'm obsessing over that song.

That is all. X

Accessorise

I know. I'm heaps slack with posting entries. BUT I just came back from a 4 week holiday about 3 weeks ago, and I've been really... jet lagged. Yeah. We went to the UK (yay!) and then India (fml) but it was a wonderful trip with the family. We even saw a Shakespeare play in Stratford upon Avon (Measure for Measure) then went to the Dirty Duck afterwards where the actors are meant to hang out. Of course we were highly disappointed when we were the only 4 people in the pub and the bar was to close in 10 minutes... but then, as we walked outside we ran into the star of the show himself. We even know where he lives now. No, we did not follow him home. Anyway, the highlight was definitely staying in the UK and getting to know my amazing cousins... and the shopping. Which brings me to this post... 

London is wonderful. The atmosphere, the decorations - mind you, it was Christmas/New Years time, but the lights were breathtaking. Not to mention the fish and chips. And the coffee. And the accents! OH, the accents. Love. We spent about 2 hours in Top Shop, which was like a gazillion stories high, as well as Urban Outfitters, H&M, Zara (which is WAY better overseas by the way) and many many more. I shall show you all photos of my shopping in the posts to come. 

But for now, I must show you the jewellery I bought over there (and some once I returned to Ozland), because it is so so so shiny and pretty and I spend way too long in the mornings trying to decide which rings to wear on which finger and which necklace goes with my outfit better. Geez.

Watch necklace from Paddy's Markets $10 / Sterling silver pendant from London jeweller $80 

Urban Outfitters watch $15 / Diva watch from Paddy's Markets $20

From left to right: sterling silver ring (present from Sanj) / sterling silver ring from London Jeweller / purple stone ring from London Jeweller / blue star ring from Lovisa / blue stone ring from London Jeweller / silver pinky ring from London Jeweller

And for now that is all. Clothes coming soon. YAY! 

Nail Rock

So while I wait for my UV light to arrive so I can do shellac on my own nails, I need to find other ways to keep them strong and unbreakable. I found these on ASOS (and can I say that the new Australian site has amazingly fast postage) and couldn't resist! They're Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps and they come in heaps of cool designs. I loved this lace pattern so thought I'd buy a set to try them out and see what they're like!

They're so easy to apply, it's like a sticker and it stays on for up to 10 days. They also add a bit of strength which is an added bonus for those like me whose nails could nearly bend backwards (nearly people, nearly). The next one on my list is metallic silver. 

Also just bought a fake Comme de Garcons wallet on eBay cause I'm a cheapo and can't afford the real one... weeeeeeeeee!

Nasty Gals Do It Better (And So Do JC Girls)

Okay I think I've done enough shopping for this season... going to try and NOT spend money on any more clothes until my trip to England/India in January! Not sure if it will actually happen, but gotta start somewhere!

Totally crazy about my new shoes, I'm going to wear them every single weekend. And my new clothes. Yay, yay, yay, I am a happy person.

Over and out. X

Versatility

This is a small post to show you the stuff I've added to my wardrobe recently! Wahoo.

Thanks to Oroton I won this laptop bag at Vogue's Fashion Night Out! I have to admit, when I saw the picture, I was a tad horrified. I've never been the biggest fan of animal prints. However this bag is absolutely stunning. It somehow manages to match with everything and fits my MacBook, wallet, sunglasses and all my other essentials. Perfect for uni! The interior is amazing as well - really soft and excellent quality. 

I ordered these bright blue harem trousers from ASOS last week and they arrived this morning - totally stoked! The colour is fantastic and I love them because they are the only coloured trousers I own. I actually hate wearing jeans so I've had to resort to plain leggings for winter and shorts for summer. I'm super excited to wear these in the next few months - they're all loose and cool and bright and different to anything else I own!

I know what you're thinking. The answer is no, I did not spend a grand on 3 YSL rings. They're fake. I hate to admit it, and as amazing as YSL rings are, I would never, ever spend $300 on a ring. Even if it was gold. However I did snatch up these beauties online - completely fake, but still have the same look! And I got the owl necklace for a bargain at only $5... I couldn't help myself. It seems my gold jewellery collection is growing which I'm excited about as I've always been a silver girl.
