Jeans - Lee Jetts. Grey Sweater - Loving Things. Bracelets - Gifted. Peter Pan Collared Shirt - Don't Ask Amanda. Wedges - Court Couture. 

I wore this outfit sooo many times during the winter. The grey knit allowed me to wear so many under layers and thermals without anyone noticing. Anyways I was just mucking around with my boyfriend and a couple of friends (stefan and mike) in the above picture. We were bored. We hated uni. So we decided to have some fun by bumming around. Haha story of my life lol. 

Oh yeah I bought those AWESOME black suede wedges for 60 bucks from this random brand... which I have never heard of but glad I found, Court Couture. Wedges = best invention yet. 

Also I could possibly be going ranga soon. Dying my hair to Rihanna red. Thoughts? 

Anyways back to the huge pile of essays that are piling up on my desk but do not worry I have a crap load of photos from my past few and very limited adventures lately. Sigh getting sick and trying to crack down onto the studies is actually happening... So I'm officially a hermit. Volleyball finals are coming up this tuesday- hopefully we win... HOPEFULLY. *fingers crossed*  

I almost forgot. I got a job last week... YAY MONEY hahaha. To supply my endless need and cravings for shoes and clothes. I am officially a sales assistant at Lola QVB. It's a little shop but the clothes are absolutely fab. My first shift and I've already got about 10 things on my wanted list.

So sorry this turned to be a massive rant. I haven't been blogging in awhile so I thought I'd keep you guys posted about the shenanigans I've been up to and how the stress is slowly eating away at me. Joke. I'm stress freeeeeee - ultimate understatement of the century! 

Alrighty then that pretty much sums up this post. There were heaps of photos to choose from so I just decided to pretty much shove all of them for all to see. ENJOY. 

Bring on monday...

Love

Tony Bianco Summer '11 Collection 

Model: Bambi

Photographer: Bec Parsons

Holy moly, I am so excited about this summer! Listening to The Kooks - Matchbox with blue skies everywhere and the warm sun in my face, while I get to stare at Tony Bianco's summer collection.... ahhh summer oh how I have missed you. I CAN FINALLY WEAR SKIRTS AGAIN WITHOUT FEELING SOOO COLD! WOOOOO!!!! But the bonus for this season is that mix and matching colour isn't a sin or a no no anymore. Pink and blue? Why not! Bambi certainly is pulling it off well.

I'm already planning my summer wardrobe... Hmmm my boyfriend won't be too happy hahaha. So much choice and colour. I'M SO EXCITED! Honestly... I feel like a little girl again. Less black, greys, browns but lots and lots and lots and lots of blue, reds, pinks, greens, yellows, purples... the list goes on but I think what I really have my eyes on is Tony Biancos' emerald suede Kortina. The colour is extraordinary and the shape... it's the iconic and loved shape done by Giuseppe Zanotti a few seasons ago, yet still very wearable :).

Here is the shoe:

sorry for the lack of quality in the photos :(. Oh and did you see the lace shirt bambi was wearing in the last photo.... Hmm some DIY inspiration right there. Anyways the reason for my lack of outfit posts which were ready to go, is that my SD card is lost. It decided to leave me.. jokes. My boyfriend lost it sigh!  Anyways I'll try my best to find it and retrieve some last minute winter shots! Lots of burgundy and denim so stay tuned!!

Carvela Grass - Platform Peep Toe Wedge

Oh my god, I finally found a copy of Giuseppe Zanotti's beauuutiffuuulll wedges from his collection earlier this year. I think I literally cried when I saw how much they costed but now ASOS SAVES THE DAY!!! I found this baby on ASOS for literally 10 times less than what Giuseppe Zanotti is charging. I really really want to buy them but my bank account and my boyfriend might get annoyed lol. My ever expanding shoe collection is getting worse. So far on my wanted shoe list includes Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony boots, Sam Edelman's Zoe, Jessica Simpson's Dany Platforms, Acne's Atomica, Jeffrey Campbell's Mariel, ROC Leopard Wedges, Theysken's Theory Velvet Wedges and the list goes on and on and on... there's more but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Anyways I'm just glad I found a cheaper version of Giuseppe Zanotti's wedges. I actually can't wait till my pay day comes around so I can buy these babies! BUTTTT first on my wishlist is actually Sam Edelman's Zoe and JC's Mariels!!!!! ARGHHH NEED MONEY :(

Hope everyone else is fairing better than me in the shoe department but for now, goodnight!

DIY Celestial Wedge

Celestial Blazer - Nanda

Cosmic Lita - Jeffrey Campbell

Christopher Kane Pieces

Rainbow Galaxy Leggings - Black Milk

Lately, celestial or cosmic patterns have been surfacing and I'm not yet convinced that it will look good on me. However, it is becoming increasingly popular with the hipster crowd :). It's definitely funky and in your face but I'm not quite sure I want to look like some parts of my body look like they're in outer space. But seeing them in real life on somebody would definitely have me staring at them (in a good way of course). So maybe I might end up doing a DIY project on my black wedges like the one above. It's definitely something I want to try! 

Love

Haus of Price - Mega Bootie 

Check these bad boys out. If you wanna be a walking disco ball these are the shoe for you. Man I can't imagine how long it took to glue all those sequins and gems down. But man oh man would I like to be strutting my stuff in these around the city. They are the ultimate party shoes hahaha. (okay maybe a little exaggerated) BUT SERIOUSLY they look so.... so.... over the top, I love it! But if I did end up wearing them... I'm afraid people might think I'm a tranny :(. Hmmm.... lol. 

Or you could still have the bling but minus the tranny look with the massive chunk of a wedge and opt for a classic stiletto.

Haus of Price - Multi Gem Pump

Enjoy! Hopefully one person has disco balls on their feet sometime next week! IF YOU DO SEND ME A PICTURE! I'd love to see how it looks :)

Love,

Jeffrey Campbell - Zoomie Wedge in Fuchsia

Currently I'm attempting to cram for my accounting finals tomorrow but procrastination, blogspot and Jeffrey Campbell shoes have gotten the better of me. So to get my stress out of my system I'm going to show you a little new find. These JC 'Zoomie' Fuchsia Wedges... Omg they are so purrrdddyyy (loving the name - 'Zoomie'). They kind of remind me of Robin Hood and his men - If I lived back in that time I would definitely strut around in those shoes doing good deeds.

As I stare at this shoe... I realise how much time has elapsed and how UTTERLY screwed I am for my exams. YAY! :(

So I'll leave you all to drool over these beauties with some awesome party/studying vid I came across a few weeks ago. Ohhh how it captures uni life! Cramming = the only way uni students truly study... (kind of depressing in all honesty)

Anyways BACK TO STUDYING!

Blazer - GP Co., Denim Shirt - Wrangler, Burgundy Wedges - Rubi, Leather Skirt - Don't Ask Amanda, Perfume - Gwen Stefani Harajuku Lovers 

So here is what I wore today :). Nothing special but since I didn't have anyone to photograph me in it I decided to chuck it on the floor and takes photos of it! It took a lot of time to decide what to wear today since the weather was pretty shithouse and I had to go into the city to gather all of my bf's 19th birthday pressies for this friday!

I love red and burgundy. It just looks awesome on asians lol. And as you all know I love shoes so when I saw them in Rubi for less than $50, in burgundy as a wedge, I HAD to have them :). Now they basically never leave my feet. I can actually wear them to uni because they are so comfortable. They've never grazed my heel, so they never give you blisters.

Oh and you know what looks even sweeter than burgundy wedges? Classic denim shirts with some leather loving. I haven't found a pair of leather high waisted shorts that fit me perfectly so I opted for a leather skirt :). It fits me like a glove and it's much much more versatile - well for me anyways. This winter I have sooooooo many blue and reds. I can't really describe to you why but I can definitely say they look great together. But sometimes it can go wrong - you can tend to look like the American flag...

ALSO that blazer you see... I wear it AT LEAST 4 times a week. I can't get over how comfortable it sits, I guess because it's a baggy fit (perfect for layering). I think I'm in love with it because it looks like a stole it from my grandpa and I wear it like it's meant to be mine when it's clearly TOO big for me.

One other thing, those bracelets all of them gifted to me by my boyfriend. The cuff is handmade by his Aunt in the Philippines. She crocheted wires and turquoise stone in between the wires. It's even more amazeballs in person! The beads are from India. They're made from sandalwood and smell amazing, that means I never smell bad... I think. The last bracelet we just bought from cotton on - nothing spesh :(.

OMG I nearly forgot - THE PERFUME! I bought Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers Perfume when it first came out and I haven't used another perfume since. It smells just oh so sweet but it's not overpowering! The one I have is called LOVER.

Anyways I hope you found this post a little more personal than my other ones and I have actually made a change for the better!

ALSO SORRY FOR A MASSIVE ESSAY I WROTE! I hope I didn't bore anyone to death :(.

Red is the new black

Sources: Refinery29, rubi shoes, therapy shoes, tumblr, garypeppervintage.com

I have always been a lover of red and this season hasn't been very friendly to my spending habits and my wallet. There is more red and burgundy in sight than I have ever seen before! AND I LOVE IT! Those burgundy boots and satin red pumps by therapy shoes are making me drool... but should probably ease my shoe purchases for now. 

Until next time :)
