It will rain

(Cotton On tee, Dotti dress as skirt, Rubi heels and fedora, thrifted jacket)

It's still Spring, and the weather is as unstable as my mood swings. I assume that my mood swings must have been the result of all the work and stress I've been having. Recently I've been buried in books, well, websites to be honest. I've been researching about artists for my art assignment, which is around 20 pages long! On a random note, I really do need to get my legs tanned so the colour will look even again! 

Whenever I'm in a grumpy mood, I always watch this and it instantly cheers me up. Is there something that cheers you up whenever yo're feeling down?

Hope you are having an adventurous day!

Tribal influence

(DIY shirt, thrifted shorts, Rubi Clogs, Bag was a gift from friend, Lincraft fabric used as headband)

(I have no idea why I took my shoe off!)

I think I've been influenced by tribal prints for a while now, and of course, I couldn't resist doing another DIY! Remember the "sneak peek" a few posts ago? Well, here it is! Although it might not look like it, my shirt was inspired by, well, tribal prints! All it took was some triangles around the neck and across the middle combined with some it-took-nearly-two-hours-to-do fringe on the arms (with beads on certain strands!)!

Everyone should try DIY-ing something once in a while, it really does help you get through a long boring day!

Until next time,

Good Intent

Hi everyone, my exams finished a while back but I've been neglecting much of my internet social life for the past week or so, including my blog. I've been lying around on my couch watching movies and listening to good music.

Anyway, this time I'm just going to show you a typical outfit that I've been constantly wearing: a shirt, denim jacket, denim shorts, combat boots. This combination never seem to go wrong.

(thrifted shirt, shorts and denim jacket, Forever New stockings, Target grey combat boots)

When my mum took these photos, she had no idea that the camera was on "manual focus", so most of them went out of focus and I didn't have the heart to tell her that most of them were blurry, so I didn't get that many photos for this post...

I also managed to find one flower out of all the grass in my backyard..

I went shopping with my parents for food today, but I ended up looking at the shoes aisles at Big W. Surprisingly, I found a pair of oxfords for around 20 dollars! They were really simple but that's just how I liked them. (:

Last but not least, I think I have discovered one of my favourite singers for now, Kimbra. I saw an ad of her new album, Vows, on youtube. Thanks to that advertisement, I've found her amazing voice. 

and her dresses in that MV are so elegant and chic as well! 

I hope you all had a wonderful week,

Keystone state of mind

(SES Cardigan, thrifted blouse, Mum's belt, thrifted shorts, Satchel bag and loafers from China)

I was never a friend of the flash (of the camera), does anyone agree that the flash makes your skin look more oily?

Sorry about the seldom posts on my blog! Once all my yearly exams are over (in about a month's time), I shall be free of homework and studying, so I can post more often. But for now, I'll just upload a post once in a while, while I'm stressing out about logarithms and derivatives and Jane Austen...
At least I'm multitasking - studying and listening to songs at the same time!

My weekends are now full of studying, but I wish yours would be more pleasant!

Until next time,

Starry Eyed

Guess what came in the mail today!?

It also came in this shiny silver bag...

Tada! (Not to sound very stupid, but that's the best word I can think of when I'm revealing something..)

There it was, my double finger cross ring, shiny and new. I love how there're those adjustable backs on the rings, so I can fit them on to whichever finger I want them to be on..

I didn't realise how wrinkly my hand was until I took photos of my hands, haha.

Can't wait 'til I wear them out! You'll definitely see them soon in my upcoming posts. I think I've been accumulating so many rings from the past few years I can dedicate a whole jewellery stand just for rings. Is this normal..? 

Anything exciting happened in your week so far?

Right now I'm secretly having this obsession with Ellie Goulding's Starry Eyed.

Her eyes are beautiful, just felt like throwing it out there.

Young, wild and free

(Mum's leather jacket, Ben Sherman tee, Cotton On skirt, Combat boots)

It's been a while, this week's been really boring as usual. We had a biology excursion this week, pretty boring except that we got to touch some animals, I'd say they were pretty adorable. I guess that was the highlight of my week, besides the constant stressing of which subjects to choose for next year (year 12). It's between either Ancient history or Japanese..I hate them both (as a subject)! I am sitting here tearing my hair out (figuratively) while thinking about this issue and listening to Bruno Mars' Marry You. Besides that, my week has been good, how was yours?

I also tried painting some galaxy/cosmic-inspired nails, they turned out pretty bad and please excuse my extremely ugly cuticles, haha! I was so inspired by That's Chic's nails here (they were so stunning!), so I attempted to follow this DIY, but my nail-painting skills didn't match my expectation..

Last but not least, I snapped a photo of my dog waiting for me outside the door when we were about to go for a walk, I think I took a bit too long...

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

p.s. My DIY shirts are still in the wash, I'll show you guys next post!

Marvin's Room

We had a mufti day today, it sucks here in Sydney, we only get to wear mufti on certain days, we have uniform on other school days! Ah well, I guess we can enjoy it more if we don't have it everyday. Today was very warm, it's as though summer's coming (of course it's not since it's still winter!), but I'm sure spring is actually on its way here, hopefully sooner than I expected. I've been desperate to wear shorts without stockings for a while now!

(Typo glasses, thrifted floral shirt, Esprit black singlet with lace, Mum's belt, DIY high-waisted shorts, Big W Shoes) 

-excuse my stoned facial expression-

..and here goes more photos..

oh how I love these beautiful babies (I mean my shoes)!

Drawstring bag - Fiorelli 

Oh, for my title this time, I chose a song which I have on repeat 24/7 ever since two weeks ago. It's the Marvin's Room Remix 2011, really good song if you can stand a couple of swear words and enjoy slow music with some rapping? Haha, bad description.

..and last but not least! A sneak peek of my newest DIY, I'm currently obsessed with fringing any fabric, so make sure you don't get your t-shirts anywhere near me, I'll start cutting them to shreds. 

That's all for today, hope you enjoyed that! And thank you for everyone's comment on the last post, I really appreciate it! Have a fun and creative weekend everyone!
