OOTD : 30th September, 2013 - So Late

I am so sorry that this update is so late! I had a hectic day and have been chasing my tail all day just to get back on top of things that needed to be done.

I'm just going to jump right into it.




Top : Millers
Shorts : Jeanswest (thrifted and cut-off)

I know this was probably the most disappointing update ever but I hope you had a lovely day none-the-less.

OOTD : 29th September, 2013 - Crunch Time

I go back to uni tomorrow and other than this report I have been writing I have done no uni work which is really bad of me because I was already so far behind from having two weeks off in the middle of last term.. Hopefully after this lot of assignments due in the first two weeks back I can have some time to catch up.

Again today I am just trying to get this report finished and what not. I realise this must be boring for you to read so I am just going to post my outfit. 

Please excuse the creases in the dress that I am wearing, sometimes ironing is the last thing I ever want to do!




Dress : Asos Curve

Also, I got new bras and I feel like they are the most unflattering things ever now.. They make my boobs look super small and they push them out not in, goodbye cleavage! It makes them look super weird though.. I am contemplating returning the other one I got.

Anyway, I hope you all have a fabulous day!

OOTD : 28th September, 2013 - Lists

So I have gotten to the point in my life where I have to write lists to plan my day otherwise I get nothing done. I didn't think it would be all that helpful but I have been doing it for a few days now and I have been so much more productive with uni work and stuff so I will probably keep doing it.

So today my list goes something like this:
-Sit in sun
-Write results for assignment
-Begin intro for assignment
-Socialise
-Tidy room
-Blog and browse (which I am doing now)
-Find more articles for my assignment

Not in that order of course. My psychologist also has me writing down what I eat each day. I didn't realise how little I was eating until I started writing it down... Also, I need to make more of an effort to eat meat because I am not getting enough protein or iron in my diet which could have an effect on my energy levels!



Top : City Chic
Singlet : Cotton On
Shorts : Jeanswest (mens, thrifted and cut off)

I also tried out my Velvetines last night, albeit very messily, but heres how they look.

Suedeberry


Red Velvet


I apologise for the shitty lighting and messy application. I will put up better swatches and what not with a review once I have used them a few times but so far, I am in love and I am not a lipstick girl, I always think I look like a clown. Also, my lips were pretty chapped which is a big no no for these products.

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful day! I will be here doing uni work for most of the day, I am hoping to get it pretty much finished today. Fingers crossed!

OOTD : 27th September, 2013 - Gettin' Down On Friday

Not really, the title was a terrible joke. Today I will be attempting to start an assignment for uni due on Monday that up until last night I hadn't touched and I still have absolutely no idea what I am supposed to be doing and all of the tutorial notes relating to it have mysteriously vanished because the times it was discussed in tutorials was around the time my Grandmother died and I have no idea where I put them.

Cheers to that! Also, did anyone guess what swimwear I bought yesterday? I am sure I will be doing a swimwear post soon enough if any of you are wondering. Also, yes the nail haul has been filmed and so has the random haul and all the photos have been taken for the blog posts that will accompany them but I have been super busy again and will try and have them up as soon as I can. Maybe in a week or so once all of the assignments due straight after holidays are out of the way!

Sorry! I know things have been a little (or a lot) muddled lately!



Bodycon and crochet.. Not to sure about the bodycon part, I feel a little exposed.

Singlet : Cotton On
Skirt : Cotton On
Crochet Shawl : Crossroads

That is all for todays post. Hopefully I will be further along on this assignment this time tomorrow but the meds I am on for my shoulder make be super drowsy all the time. I was trying to start this assignment last night but I kept dozing off at my desk..

Anyway, I hope you all have a fabulous day!

OOTD : 26th September, 2013 - Burning A Hole In My Pocket

So today I got paid. As you will know if you read regularly, I didn't have very much money for the last week or so and today I got paid. So I bought some swimmers I had been waiting for and went on a massive grocery shop! Yay for food!

My shoulder is still sore but I managed to drive to Sydney last night without too much trouble. The doctor thinks that my muscles are spasming causing the pain because my nerves are being pinched when the muscle spasms. Thats why the pain comes in waves of agony and then not so painful.

Anyway... A bird just flew into my window, haha. Today its so hot in Sydney, with a hot wind and I have a heating pad on my shoulder so I am in all sorts of misery!



I was going to wear a singlet today but this top sort of holds the heating pad in place especially because the adhesive doesn't do so well in the heat..

Top : City Chic
Singlet : Cotton On
Shorts : Jeanswest (mens, thrifted and cut off).

Also, can anyone guess what swimmers I bought? I'll give you a hint!


Let me know what you think I bought!!

I hope you have all had a fabulous day!

OOTD Fail : 25th September, 2013 - Still Injured

Let me tell you, I am in agony still! Last night I went to drive home, got in the car and couldn't hold my arm up to the steering wheel so had to stay in Newcastle. Today I went to the doctors who suspects nerve damage in my neck and shoulder. Oh happy days! On some medication but it makes me super drowsy.

Tonight I will attempt to drive home, hopefully I can get home without too much pain and without being super drowsy from the medication. Driving is not the time for a power-nap!

Anyway, I know this is the second day in a row that I haven't put an OOTD up on my blog, but I hope you can forgive me!

OOTD Fail : 24th September, 2013 - Injured

So I haven't posted an outfit today because I am in total and utter agony. I went to the chiropractor this morning for an adjustment because I have a super painful neck and shoulder and immediately it felt great but now it feels worse than ever. I also agreed to a split shift at work tomorrow so I am dreading the drive home and then work being in this much pain. I have had a heat patch on for 3 hours and it is supposed to last for another five hours! So, instead of posting an outfit, I took a photo of how ridiculous I look with a heat pack on my neck and shoulder!


It goes halfway to my elbow and I have been wearing it in public, I think people must be thinking that I've had major surgery or something... Or they think I'm wearing a maxi sanitary pad stuck to my shoulder.. Also, Asos Curve top!

Any aussies remember this ad?


This is how I feel..

I hope you have all had a fabulous day!

OOTD : 23rd September, 2013 - Split Second Decision

So, I realise that this OOTD photo is from my college room. But not long after this was taken, I made the decision to go home for a night or so. Let me tell you, I am way overdressed for Newcastle, its much hotter here than Sydney!




Singlet : Crossroads
Cardigan : Crossroads
Jeans : City Chic

In other exciting news, I received my Velvetines from Lime Crime today. Now I know that the owner of Lime Crime has a reputation for being pushy and not very nice but I think that I can't really comment because I don't know what went on, it didn't happen to me and I believe that everybody deserves a second chance. I have also been wanting these babies for a very long time and let me tell you, they so far have not disappointed me.











The packaging is superb! Pigment is dark and rich! I am so excited to wear these! They dry to a matte as well. 

They look like they've been packaged with care as well, all the tissue paper and stuff.

Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely day!

OOTD : 22nd September, 2013 - Sort Of

So the outfit today is actually what I wore after I got home from work yesterday! My bad. I just got home from work again, I will probably change now but I don't know if that'll be into an outfit or my pyjamas.

Anyway.

OOTD Fail : 21st September, 2013 - Update Video

Because I am going to work today there will be no OOTD, instead I filmed a general update video for you guys. If you read my blog regularly, you will already know most of the stuff I talk about on it, but watch it anyway if you're interested!

OOTD : 20th September, 2013 - Sleepy Day

I didn't get out of bed until midday today, so writing now is like writing at 1:30 after getting out of bed at 9:30am. Sorry, my bad.

I haven't really done all that much today. I did do some filming and stuff for you guys last night and hopefully I will get some editing done so they can be up for days I work all day. I also got a call today letting me know that my swimmers had arrived at the shop I ordered them from. I am really excited to see them, buy them, wear them, love them! I will do a post on that sometime next week I guess.




Heres to crazy bedhair!

OOTD : 19th September, 2013 - Tired

Yesterday afternoon I had a 1 hour nap before dinner and when I woke up I had a really bad headache. I am beginning to think that it was caused my my hair being tied back on an area of my head that it usually isn't. Maybe its time to rethink the long hair thing, although I do want it to be longer and thicker, it just isn't doing good things for my head.

Its such a beautiful day in Sydney today, its warm and sunny but there is also a lovely cool breeze for when the sun gets too hot. I wish every day as like this, not too hot and not too cold. I will still probably get sunburnt even though its only Spring, oh the joys of being pasty and white!

I went to order my DSLR yesterday but the seller is away until the 30th of September which means I can think about it some more as well as be in a better financial position to buy the camera and still have money left for food and to pay off a $1000 debt I currently have at college. If only money grew on trees... Speaking of money, I will most likely film both my nail haul and random  haul tonight if this cough stays away like it has all day so hopefully I can get those edited and up for you guys soon as well as some accompanying blog posts for more information. Heres to getting things done! Except not the things I really should be getting done... Oh well.




I have had this dress since my birthday haul and I finally wore it for the first time today! Cheers to the feeling of wearing new clothes!

Dress : City Chic

Anyway, I hope you all have a fabulous day, I hope you are being productive and all that jazz.

OOTD : 18th September, 2013 - Worried

I have just realised the enormity of what I have to get done these holidays for uni. This would be easy if I wasn't working but I have heard that work next week is going to be pretty busy so they need all hands on deck to help out. Hopefully I will find some time to get all this uni work done. I also have lectures to catch up on from last term because I had two or so weeks where I didn't get much done because of a death in the family. Fist though, I have to look over one of my brothers assignments because he is stressing over the high level of similarity. Anything near 20% is bad, he got 45% similarity.. Dafuq!

Anyway, I will give you my OOTD and get cracking with all this uni work!

I also changed my nail polish last night. It is now pink and holographic and glorious! Me love!


Under fluorescent lighting.


Low light, just looks like an iridescent pink.



Pink : Hunter Gatherer by Runway Professional
Holographic : Holographic Silver by Addictive

In the sunshine is when it looks its most amazing! I find I can't not look at it when I am in the sunshine! Holographic love!

Hopefully I will also get some filming done soon for you guys, I know I said in yesterdays post that I would today but my cough is still lingering and it isn't all that attractive so I wont put you guys through that! I need to shake this cough!

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful day!

OOTD : 17th September, 2013 - Neglected

I know this update is super late and while I partially feel bad for it being so late I can't help but be happy because today I spent my whole day with my Mum. Many a things were bought and if I am well enough tomorrow, I will film a haul and finally film my nail haul, hopefully this cough is gone so I'm not coughing and spluttering my way through it.

I'll just quickly give you my outfit and then I'm off to bed!



Top : Crossroads
Singlet : Cotton On
Jeans : City Chic

Firstly, I apologise for the crappy iPhone photos and secondly, I was removing shellac from my nails when I took this, hence the weird looking caps on my fingers. Hopefully I will have a dslr soon or at least a new SD card..

Anyway, I hope you all had a lovely day, I know I sure did!

OOTD : 16th September, 2013 - Special Visitor

Today my Mum is coming down from Newcastle to stay with me for the night, and guess what, she's coming without my sister. Its a miracle!! Although, because my sister wont physically be here I am sure she will be calling once every half an hour or so for a blow-by-blow description of what we have been doing. Thats going to frustrate the hell out of me because I never get quality time with my mum when my sister is around to start with and even if she isn't here our quality time still gets interrupted by her.

Let me know if you have this experience with siblings and what you do about it!

Because my Mum is coming today, I spent four hours cleaning my room pedantically so she has nothing to comment on in terms of the state of my room. I also put a lot of my winter clothes away so my wardrobe looks extra spacious today which will make her think I've gotten rid of clothes or something. Which unfortunately, I haven't, but I am looking to have a market stall somewhere in Sydney soon to sell the clothes I don't want, wear or fit into. As well as things like shoes, bags and jewellery. I do have some items on a Storenvy at the moment. The link is on my home page, check it out if you're interested, I will be trying to add more stuff soon, its just that life has been super busy lately that I haven't had the chance to update my store. I know for a lot of you, postage will be expensive but I would just like to point out that I am not making a profit from postage, postage is that expensive and I am sorry it is that way but take it up with the postal services.

And I just slammed my finger in my wardrobe while getting a jacket out because I was cold and I am sick.. Cheers to looking after myself!

Keep in mind that I don't have the jacket photographed in this outfit picture but it is the black blazer from City Chic with the striped lining if you're interested!



Top : City Chic
Singlet : Cotton On
Tights : Avella by Big W

I also noticed that I haven't posted a picture of the Henna tattoo I got on Friday night so here it is.


And my nails have been growing out, I've nearly had the pink on for two weeks and the silver accents were to replace the two that got messed up at work and stuff because I use them the most frequently. But here they are, the growth isn't too bad, and I probably will put up with it for a little longer but its nice to see that my nails are growing, there is about 2mm of growth so far.


Pink : Ivory Coast by Gelish
Silver : Metallica Silver by Runway Professional

The pink has been nice because it blends with my natural nail colour really well so it isn't super obvious that its growing out and I can also get away with having it at work!

Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely day! I know I will!
