The End of the Week

Just some of the results from a quite eventful weekend. My four day weekend consisted of visiting the show twice, having a fun Saturday at work, going on a lunch date, hanging out at the beach and of course enjoying the Hottest 100 Countdown on Triple J. I wouldn't have chosen any better people to spend my perfect weekend with. If only it could last forever and I could somehow avoid my exam week.

DIY Structure Cut Skirt

This is a super cut 'how to' from one of my friends, Shay-lee. She needed a structure cut skirt to wear out on the weekend but didn't want the price tag that went along with it so she decided to make one herself. It looks absolutely fantastic, hope you enjoy. The steps are listed below:

1. Purchase a cheap pu leather skirt (not real leather as it will stain). The one chosen was from Valleygirl for only $9.95. 

2. Highlight on the skirt where you would like to cut, suit the slit to your own tastes.







































3. Cut the slit.

 

4. It should like similar to this. 

5. Wipe away any excess highlighter. 

6. You're all done! Style the skirt to suit yourself, the finished product is shown above. 

Formal Fiascos

So this is my potential formal dress. I would love to know if anyone has thoughts on it? Or know of anywhere that I can find a formal dress that I will actually like?

Make Up Organisation 101

Hey there, so it is a super rainy Sunday and I have nothing better to do than organise my make up. This isn't everything but I started by going through and throwing out anything that was either nearly empty or anything that I wasn't using anymore. I thought that putting everything in jars was a super cute idea (probably because I'm extra OCD haha) I tried to match up everything as best as possible and I just got some ribbon and tied it around for fun! Such an easy and cheap way to keep your make up stored.

Outfit Lust

Outfit #1: Jumper - Oasis, Skirt - New Look, Necklace - Forever New, Belt - Elegantly Waisted
Outfit #2: Crop Top - Topshop, Shorts - Topshop, Necklace - Oscar de la Renta, Shoes - The Iconic
Outfit #3: Tee - Topshop, Pants - Fenn Wright Manson, Necklace - Lovisa, Shoes - Forever New

I did try to make this centered around a neutral theme which I know most people would probably think of as bland but neutral is just one of my favourite, easy things to do. It's so much more creative than an all black outfit but it is just as simple which is why I love everything above. I tried to keep it all within a price range I could actually afford. The super gorgeous Topshop shorts are only $15, so in love! I probably went a little crazy with Oscar de la Renta, unless someone has a spare $1500 to loan me haha. But aside from that I would definitely wear all of the above outfits.

Beauty Wishlist

These are just a few little things that I am thinking about purchasing soon. I really need a good hand cream because I use so much of it at the moment, preferably I would like one with a nice scent but still a decent cream as well. I haven't tried Cath Kidston yet so fingers crossed it is a winner! The other two items have been recommended to me by a few people. I really like to keep my nails in peak condition so I will certainly be investing in some Sally Hansen. Not really sure what to expect from the BB cream but hopefully I am proved wrong. Would love to hear from someone who has tried any of the above, or has found a fantastic product lately.

Small Accessories Haul

These are a few of the accessories I snapped up the other night. They are all from Sportsgirl and are very reasonable prices, most are on sale. I really love rose gold at the moment (well I have loved it always) so I have been trying to find some cute arm accessories to go with my yellow and rose gold watch. I decided to go with these cute little pink and rose gold arm bands which were a steal at $9.95. I really like everything but my favourite is definitely the blue and silver necklace. It has gone with so many of my outfits and really helps to dress up a simple shirt.

Lots of Love,
