Come and Go...

Today, just like the last four days, I have been trying to get through all of my holiday homework in between watching episodes of Gossip Girl. Today however is a special day because one of my sisters is coming back from South America where she has been traveling for the past six months. I can't wait to see her! this is what I'll be wearing when I greet her at the airport:

It was her hair!!!

It's been quite some time since my last post and I suppose a belated "merry Christmas and a happy new year" is in order. I hope everyone had a nice time like I did during these holidays.

but now, I have some news to share:

I've been wanting to do something different with my hair for a while now, but I only got the courage to actually buy some hair dye a couple days ago. Nonetheless it finally happened, with the help of my friend and my sister, I dyed the ends of my hair purple!!!! Yay! Woohoo!

Anyway...I really love it and I'm so glad I did it!

ho ho ho

Going to stay in Melbourne with my sister for the few days before Christmas, this is what I'll be wearing.
It'll be good to get out of the house, because so far all I've accomplished these holidays is to re-watch the first season of True Blood (which is awesome but I need to spend time with real people) and read a couple chapters of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley for school.
Hopefully staying at my sister's house will make me feel like I'm getting more done, even if I'm not...

Think Pink

This whole post pretty much revolves around being a stereotypical girly-girl. I grabbed a whole bunch of pink things from around my room and pulled some pink clothes out of my wardrobe and then went a little crazy with my digital camera. I wouldn't say I'm completely "into" the color pink, but I often go through phases and it was a lot of fun dressing up and posing and taking plenty of photos. Needless to say I didn't have much else to do on the day these photos were taken...

it's been a while

It's been a while since I last updated this here blog. I suppose I've been busy, but that's no longer the case now that I'm on summer holidays.
Even though the weather has been really bad (see above picture in which our road was flooded out!) I've still been enjoying the holidays so far, just sleeping in, reading (Frankenstein by Mary Shelley) and doing some Christmas shopping which is what I got up to today.
I really liked this outfit that I wore, mainly because I got to incorporate my new tights, shirt and headband.
What you can't really tell in any of the photos-especially the dark would be photographer one-is that I am wearing pearls to kind of go with the headband which reminded me of the beautiful headpieces they wore in the 1930's, the lacy tights also play into that particular theme, but the denim shirt tied everything together and kept it nice and casual.
As for the Christmas shopping I've now bought all the presents I set out to get, all that's left to do is wrap them :)

A teenage twist on chic...

I always find that the perfect outfit takes time and planning. I like know exactly what I'm going to wear on any occasion at least the day before, today was no exception. My best friend and I had the most lovely day in Melbourne shopping (as usual) and we went to the museum, which was interesting and a lot of fun.
the outfit that I wore was a mix between air hostess and trashy youth, well the skirt was trashy youth and everything else was simple and clean cut. but I was immensely satisfied with this outfit because the colors all went so well together and with my make up, especially the red lipstick and the red in my scarf. the mix of vintage paired with a plain white T and the ripped up skirt all worked out very nicely indeed.
the perfect outfit for the perfect day!

Birthday cake is the best kind of cake

This Saturday my cousins had a party for their birthdays (which are 2 days apart) and so my best friend and I went to the party together after a day of shopping (I didn't buy anything).
Near the party was a little park complete with playground where we spent a good part of the night taking photos. I wore one of my many floral dresses, which I purchased from my local op shop for $5, and I wore my high heels.
