OOTD : 30th April, 2014 - Dreamworld

Today we got up and ventured off to Dreamworld for the day. For those of you who don't know what it is, basically its a super tiny version of Disneyland, and I mean tiny! Went on pretty much every ride though and I had a super fun time. So tired, and so dirty!

Nothing like a dirt tan!

Tomorrow I am flying back to Sydney in the morning for an exam and then back to Brisbane in the afternoon. Time is going to be of the essence thats for sure, and we all know how much I love aeroplanes. 

Anyway.

I know these photos are old but I went for a swim in the hotel pool before I took a photo and this is the exact same outfit!

Woo, college photo. Blast from the past much?!

I hope you all had a fabulous day! Hopefully I will be awake enough to update you tomorrow!

OOTD : 29th April, 2014 - All Studied Up

So just in case I do have to fly back to Sydney for this exam on Thursday (which is how it looks at the moment) I needed to prepare myself.. Even just a little bit, so last night and tonight I have done some revision for the main topics that have been covered in this subject last term and I am hoping that my knowledge from doing this subject the first time around should be of some assistance.

I really hope I pass this exam, I need to make it worth the money flying there and back to Brisbane afterwards… Fingers crossed!

Today we just went to Southbank and walked around like crazy people for most of the day, then I had an afternoon nap (well, sleep) and then dinner and visited some family and now we are back at the hotel, I am up watching Sex In The City and everyone else is in bed.. Probably because of said nap!

Also, I got sunburnt… No surprises there.

Next week I am going to be super busy with work and uni, surprised there is still work going since its closing down super soon!

Anyway, I hope you had a fabulous day!

OOTD : 28th April, 2014 - We're Soaring, Flying!

So this morning I woke up at 5:30 am, left for the airport just after 6am, was on the plane by 8am and in Brisbane at 9:30am due to delays. The flight was pretty smooth, pretty hot being that high in the air with crappy air conditioning with the sun on my window, goodness!

We just checked in to the hotel, got some groceries, had lunch and then went for a swim. My dad the arrived from Mackay (I think) and while we were waiting to get him from the train station a lady high as a kite came up to me and told me to cheer up because even though I was fat I should cheer up.. I get that she was high and I shouldn't really take it personally but why do people assume that people who are fat are only ever hung up on their weight instead of other issues that could be going on?

Anyway, tonight we just had dinner and went and visited some family. But I have been up for nearly 18 hours and I am super exhausted and we have done so much walking and stuff today. Also, super dehydrated from flying and walking around, I have a super bad headache!

Yes, my favourite shorts have been repaired especially for this trip, I hope you are ready to see them again!

OOTD Fail : 27th April, 2014 - The Biggest Fuckup

Today I realised that my exam for one of my uni subjects is this week, not next week like I thought it was. So I emailed my convenor explaining the situation and he refused to grant me the supplementary so I either (hopefully) get ill before then so I can apply for special consideration or my Mum offered to fly me back for the exam and then back to Brisbane… 

Hopefully I will know what to do when the time comes closer, but incase I have to go and do the exam, I should probably start revising and stuff.

The thing is that I am irritated because the convenor was not understanding at all even though I am sure he has accidentally mixed up dates.. I know he needs to be fair to everyone, but I feel like these are extenuating circumstances because my mum booked the tickets thinking I was still on holidays like my brother who goes to Newcastle University.

Anyway, hopefully something works out!

I did have an outfit today but I got changed out of it before I remembered I was supposed to take a photo.. My bad, it was nothing exciting really. Just black jeans and a black and white striped long sleeve top!

Hopefully the wifi at the hotel works so I can keep you updated this week! I hope you all had a fantastic day!

OOTD : 26th April, 2014 - Anxiety

Today I went to lunch for my brother's girlfriend's birthday. Didn't last very long though because I was overcome with feelings of anxiety so I went home and enjoyed the peace in the house while everyone else stayed out.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!


I know they aren't the greatest photos because I didn't have my camera and I was in the midst of panic because I wanted to take my clothes off and get into something more comfy and less restrictive! 

Dress : Modcloth (Stylish Surprise, notice how I am wearing the back at the front though!)
Shoes : Therapy Shoes

Anyway, turns out we aren't flying to Brisbane to Monday so tomorrow will be a day of relaxation and stuff hopefully. I hope you all had a great day!

OOTD : 25th April, 2014 - Treatments and Cling Wrap

Today I packed for my holiday and drove home. So many cops on the road due to the Anzac Day long weekend. When I got home I literally did nothing, laid on the lounge and had a snooze. We went out for dinner and then I have come back and sat on my laptop looking at stuff… And now I am watching a movie with a treatment in my hair wrapped in cling wrap.

How attractive must I look right now!

So attractive!

I also posted my haul and the corresponding haul post.. I also have been informed since I got home that we aren't flying out until Monday morning, not Sunday and we only have checked in luggage for the flight up and my bag weighs mum more than the 10kg carry on luggage! Not to mention the second bag with my shoes and swimmers in it, wahhh. 

Anyway, I hope you had a great day!

April Haul & A Modcloth Stylish Surprise

Here is the accompanying post to my April haul video posted earlier, enjoy!

Sportsgirl Necklace and Various Charms
Chain and two middle charms = $10, Other 4 charms : $1 each from markets









I have worn this pretty much everyday since I got it. Perfect length, I love it because I am a fiddler and it gives me something to fiddle with when I'm bored or anxious.

City Chic Varsity Hoodie
RRP : $90 Sale : $71



Although this is a little bit shorter than I would like, I had been waiting for this to go on sale for months because I couldn't justify the price originally. Yet to be worn but I think this will become a staple in my wardrobe.

City Chic White Horse Dress
RRP : $90 Sale : $71



I wouldn't call this a dress, more like a tunic.. But I couldn't resist the pattern, so whimsical!

City Chic Sheer Floral Bomber Jacket
RRP : ??? Sale : $30



Supposed to be $50 but the tab on the zipper was missing so they discounted it further for me. I have already worn this in yesterdays outfit of the day, very much in love!

Rubi Knitted Socks
3 for $10


Not really anything special… Just some socks, got them because they were 3 for $10 and you can never have enough socks.

Rubi Sunglasses
$5 on sale!


Rubi Sneakers
$5 on sale!


Rip-off Vans with a colourful leopard print. How can you possibly go wrong?

Modcloth Black & Gold Spotted Dress
Stylish Surprise $10




This is supposed to be my sisters but it is way to big on her so she said I could have it. Super happy about that because it is super, super cute. Hello collared dress!

Modcloth Black Dress
Stylish Surprise $10



This dress is nicely structured, I am a little unsure about the neckline though and it desperately needs to be worn with spanx! The sizing is super small, probably not made for my size. Which is funny because my sisters was a 2X and it is huge but this one is a 3X and its snug!

I guess thats because Modcloth uses lots of different brands.. Oh well!

If you are yet to watch the video, go watch it! Its in the previous post, and it shows me wearing the items so you can see how they wear!

I hope you have enjoyed this post!

OOTD : 24th April, 2014 - The Rollercoaster Ride

Today was a very mixed day. It was really great this morning apart from one incident involving one of my sister friend (don't even get me started on that one) until this evening when I realised I had dropped $50 somewhere in Chatswood while getting stuff out of my wallet and followed by a phone call from someone who had nothing positive to say.

Lifes a bitch. My mum always says that money has a way of coming back to you in the end anyway, heres hoping.

OOTD : 23rd April, 2014 - Cleaning

Today I slept in a little later than usual, went to the shops for something to do and then came home and cleaned my room. Pretty much my day in a nutshell, how exciting.

Anyway, I'm really tired so I am going to keep this post super dooper short!

I will be talking more about the necklace in my next haul which has been filmed and edited and should be up tomorrow!

OOTD : 22nd April, 2014 - Round & Round We Go

Today I got up, did washing (exciting I know) and then drove around in circles for much of the afternoon… That is not even an exaggeration. First I needed to buy some new hubcaps since I lost one the other night and according to Google the closest auto parts shop was half an hour away, then I returned to Chatswood where this venture started to pick up some paperwork from Bunnings only to find that there was an auto parts shop next door.. Talk about mad! Then I had to go do more boring adult stuff, you know, buy groceries yada yada..

Also, handed in my assignment and had crappy food for dinner which I am regretting right about now because I am having issues digesting it..

Blergh.

But in some better news, I will most likely be missing the first week back of term to fly to Queensland to see my father for the week, good thing I don't have any tutes or assignments due, having assignments due in the holidays has actually had a positive outcome.. Go figure!

Wow, all City Chic.. No surprises there really! I do like how the back of the jacket shows the pattern of the top through it.

Anyway, I hope you all had a lovely day!

OOTD : 20th & 21st April, 2014 - Easter Funny Business

So on Sunday we drove back from Forster to Newcastle where I spent a couple of hours with my cousins and stuff before heading back to Sydney in the afternoon. I pretty much arrived back to Sydney, dumped my stuff at home, had a quick nap and then went straight to a friends place to get some uni work done. Ended up sleeping at her place for the night so before any of you say anything, yes, I wore the same outfit for two days (well, technically the shirt and singlet for three) and no I don't care what anyone else thinks.

But it was nice to have a shower and get into fresh pyjamas tonight!

I was really productive today though and I pretty much finished my assessment that isn't due until Wednesday, winning! Although, I may need to edit a little, we were told to write a research based discussion but somehow my lecturer thinks that requires a point of view and an argument for and/or against and me being a psychology major takes a discussion as presenting the facts with no bias…

HELP ME!

Also, been applying for jobs like crazy and I need to call my soon to be ex-boss to get her to write a reference letter or something..

Singlet : Cotton On
Shorts : Crossroads

Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I raided to supermarket today and bought enough chocolate to last until next Easter, especially because my favourite chocolates are only available at easter time.. Damn you speckled eggs!

Later gater.

OOTD : 19th April, 2014 - Shits and Giggles

I know this is being posted very late. Its actually lunch time on the twentieth but I was so tired when I got back to my Nan and Pops last night that I just went straight to bed instead of attempting to tether my phones internet for my laptop..

Anyway, yesterday we took the kids to the park and then drove up to Forster in the afternoon to attend a birthday party. Nothing really more to say!

Ahh, Forster! Why are you so pretty?
