O/FOTN + dumbness


Okay, well I'm going to start this post off with an explanation! I don't know why, but likeeee, I just feel like I have to give one haha.
Basically, I'm just talking about how bloggers put pictures up from their nights out, and while I'd love to do that and make my blog more personal, it's like I can't! because I am a total cadbury. For those of you who don't know what that means (sure you allll do), it's just like after one or two drinks I start not only being intoxicated but LOOKING intoxicated! I look so dumb when I've been drinking!!! Here's some proof!
Therefore, because I don't really go to my friends for pre drinks and be like "hey, I write a blog, do you mind taking a photo of what I'm wearing?" I don't have anyone (except my brother) to take photos of my outfits! My outfits are boringggg anyways. Anyways, that's my explanation :)

These are my new heels that I bought last week :) Love them! they are SOOO comfortable! wore them out 2 nights in a row, which I never do because usually I have to switch shoes orelse I get the sorest feet! Ohhh, and see that white stain in the second picture? Yesss, I did get rid of it before I went out! facewipe + hair dryer :)
Ps. No, this isn't a very interesting post haha. I will do some reviews tomorrow :)

Mini Haul + New Wayne Cooper Bag + New Sportsgirl Thigh High Boots

So I was going to do a FOTD along with my new bags and boots, but got lazy! :) So here's just a few quickies I bought when I went shopping at the local Tar-jayyyy with my mum this arvo.

Le Tan Fast Tan Instant Tanning Mousse in Deep Bronze
about $10-$15
Iam quite pale! For reference, Im a MAC nc20. After going out a few times with my friend from a sunnier state than my own, I decided I should tan up so I don't look so creepy next to her! I've used this before, for about a month last year I was obsessed with tanning!
 But I couldn't find one that didn't turn orange (because I have pale skin, alot of tanners can go orange!), and that faded evenly (as even as a fake tan can fade!).
Anyways, I've tried heaps. But won't get into them all, as I am planning on doing a post just on the fake tan products I've used. This one is my favourite :)
*Note: I only use one coat!! Followed by a "daily tanning moisturizer".

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation in Soft Beige
about $17
This is my HG foundation, except I usually get it in Ivory, the shade lighter. But because I realised that I probably needed a foundation  that matches the fake tan! Works alot better than applying bronzer imo.

Modelista Highlighting Powder
under $10
Bought this because it was something like 30% off? and I think the packaging is tacky, but cuuuute :) Kinda like Tigi Bedhead products!

Yaaay. Finally got my Wayne Cooper bag off of lay buy!! I hate being povooo cos it means I can't afford to buy things out right!! Bought it from Myers for $199. Bit peeved, cos like a week afterwards they had 30% off bags! Uhhh. Anyways, I love it :).

Also, took my Sportsgirl Thigh High Boots off lay buy aswell :) they're $230 from Sportsgirl. I think I may already be over them? Don't know.. Cbf trying them on haha

"We Love Sounds" Pre Planned OOTD

Hello Lovelies :)

Im deathly sick as I write this... I don't care that my mum thinks that the bumps on the back of my tongue are "taste buds" and that "she was them too" ... I believe they're instensely swollen glands haha.

Hmm no but really, I'm sick, I have a cold (chroniccccccccccc!!!!!) and I'm dev'd cos WE LOVE SOUNDS is on monday, and I wanna be fighting fit for that! Hell yes to free tickets :)
Some dude on Saturday night was like "here" and waved 3 free tickets in front of my face. I love drunken WLS promoters hahaha. Helps if they're a guy aswell!

Anyways, so usually I pre plan what I wear. I've never been to a winter concert before so I'm baffled. All I know is that in winter, even though it's like 10degrees, I get hot when I dance! so here's what I'm thinkinggggggggg:
So basically, (basic is the key word), it's ripped shorts, black knee high boots, a cardi (so I don't look too insane), and a singlet (so that when I get hot I can take off my cardi instead of sweating like a mofo into it). Buuuuut. I'm gonna see what my friends are wearing :)

Ohhh, and I got my thigh boots today!!! Will do a post on them later :) I also have a FOTD from Saturday night, and a few bits and bobs. I'm so lazy.


and I'm concerned about my makeup. WLS starts at 12 midday, buttt the pre party starts at 9 am. WLS ends at 12pm that night! so that's literally........ over half a day...... How is my makeup gonna last that long? haha


Tips???

New Nude Pumps +OOTD + Satin Indulgence

I had a ridiculously good day. No joke! It was amazinggggggg. :) sooo excited for tomorrow night! Don't you love when you realise that life is great? Happy happy happy :) haha

Anyways!!!! Here is part of the greatness of my great day :) New shoes. Not just any new shoes. New nude pumps! I have been looking for a pair like this for MONTHS. I found them last Saturday (when I bought the black booties), put them on hold, and then bought them yesterday. The only thing was, the Myers I got the first pair from didn't have any 8.5 (I'm usually an 8, but these were small sizes). Because I reeaallllyy wanted these to. fricken. die. for. shoes I decided that even though my outer two toes were squished to buggery, that yes, these shoes did fit.

So I picked them up from Lay Buy yesterday, took them home, tried them on, still didn't fit.

I decided to "wear them in" a bit, but after twenty minutes my feet hated me.

I took them back today, and asked them to ring other stores. First five stores said they didn't have any. But the last store did! 8.5 Tony Bianco Nude Pumps :) Happy happy happy. They were $139.95. I'm a tad bummed, cos on wednesday they had a 30% of all shoes sale. Grrr. But whatever, these are the perfect fucking shoes. <3
These shoes are perfect because they're not oober high (like some other deadly ones I own) like, don't get me wrong, I loveee intense high heels, but for town they're not really suitable! Also, because I'm short, when I have heels that are 14 cm, that makes me 174cm! which is waaaay too tall for me to feel like myself! I actually enjoy being short! 
Another reason I love them is because the toe is not too pointy (making my feet look weirdly hugee) and not too rounded (making my legs look weirdly hugee!).

I have retarded boobs. They're lovely and all, but impossible to find gorgeous bras that fit. One brand I openly love is Playboy. another, is Satin Indulgence. Today I went into Bras n Things and bought a bra/undie combo I've been eyeing off for ages!!!
Too cute right? I love Satin Indulgence bras because even though they don't come in 8s, the 10 is a really small fit!! The 10 is tighter than most 8s!! <33 Tha bra was $60 and the cuteeeee little g was $25. I don't usually spend $25 on undies, but these are gorgeous! and if I'm going to get a gorgeous bra like this, I will buy the matching undies!

Annnnnd. Onto my OOTD :) Simpleeee, but that's how I do
Ohhhh, also did a small drug store beauty haul yesterday. But I'll do that in another post :)


I hope everyone else is loving life as much as Iam :) love youuu.

HOTD + FOTD + OOTD + New Chi Chi Shimmer Brick

Stuff I used:
Maybelline Lash Stilhetto Mascara
Prestige Gold Eye Liner
Inglot Eyeshadow (Base)
NP Set Liquid Veil in Moscow Pink
Benefit Hellow Flawless Powder Foundation
Chi Chi Shimmer Brick in Rose
Loreal Eyeshadow
Sportsgirl Eyeshadow (Eyeliner)
This is my new Chi Chi Shimmer Brick. It retails from Target for about $20, but I was lucky enough to buy it on sale for half that!! Bargainnn. I absolutely love this. I bought it in "Rose". I absolutely love to have super shiney cheeks (don't care if thats tacky!), and it's great because it's buildable and gives a nice glow and gorgeous colour! Also, the top stripe (lightest colour) can be used as a brow bone/inner corner highlight :)
** As you can see in my FOTD, if you have some pimples, it will make them more noticeable! BUt that's like all shimmer/illuminators!
Usually I get full head of foils, but I haven't coloured my hair in about 3 months!! I really want my hair to grow, and so not only have I stopped bleaching it, but from today I have stopped straightening it! (except for weekends)
My hair dries insanely. It's all frizzy, not curly, not wavy, not straight? it's a mess! So I decided to bobby pin the hell out of it! I haven't perfected it yet, it's uber messy, and I need to loosen up the sides a bit, but you get the look I was going for! Any hair care/style tips would be appreciated!!
The above pictures were obviously taken when I hadn't dressed yet! Hence the no braaaa!! But this is what I wore today. I reckon it's a tad emo ish hahahaha The singlet was an "over sized" singlet, but I do not DO over sized! So I took it in with a sewing machine myself :) V. proud of myself haha

New Wayne Cooper Ankle Boots + FOTD

Here's my face of the day, I took these pictures with the camera that I got from Target as a replacement to the one that broke - I mentioned that it gave a green tint to everything? You guys can see that right? Compared with my other pictures... I just don't think it really captures what is actually there... Hmmm. You can't even see my eyeshadow! but whatever.

In picture 3 you can see the scar - In a post a while back (april-ish) I explained how I banged my head and ended up in hospital? Well there's the scar! and eww at my bad skin! thats what late nights not taking off your makeup does. yuk yuk yuk.



These are my new pair of booties! I've been looking for some ankle boots for ages, but couldn't find any plain ones (most have studs/ruffles/etc) I'm still not 100% if I love them, I would have prefer one with more detail at the ankle! But they are gorgeous :) and I love the cute little zippers at the back.

Thigh High Boots

So Im very excited about paying up and taking the Sportsgirl thigh high heeled boots of Lay Buy very soon :) Hopefully before next saturday!!!

I fell in love with them at the store, but I didn't even think about what I could wear them with!! Basically I was thinking a black mini + blazer? But after looking up on the internet I've found there's a tonne of other ways to wear them!

Here are some of my favourites
I'd love to be able to wear them like Kim K does, but .. I'm lacking her booty!
I love Lady GaGa, but no, I'd never wear them like this.
