People, people look alive! I'm back in town!!

I had one of the most amazing weekends ever and I

can't wait to share with you guys what happened during

my visit to the province that was most affected by last January's

terrible earthquake and landslide. It was such an eye-opener.

But more on that later.

 Right now I just wanna have some proper R&R

And by proper R&R, I mean playing dress up and stealing your mother's pearls!

Wanted to try on this men's denim shirt and see if I looked better being

girly or being all boyish. #Neighborhoodies

 This is my 90s action movie star pose.

I got a face that's just asking to be punched.

 I don't know. I'm confused. Do I look better as

a Manly-Girl or a Girly-Boy?

Life's greatest problems.. *sigh*

I always throw my hands in that Star Trek sign

whenever I'm confused. Don't judge me.

That's how I roll.

Dress: Cotton On

Cardigan: ZARA Kids

Headband: Diva

Black flats (not seen): vintage

... between reality and pretend.

In my pretend world, I'm stressing out about opening night of a musical I'm in.

In reality, I'm stressing out about all the work I have to complete on top of being mentally and physically exhausted...

This is the first outfit in a long, long while in which I have not included anything thrifted or vintage, well, with the exception of my black flats that I wear all the time.  I think it may have something to do with how I'm feeling... jaded.  Basically, I'm not my usual self.  The past few feeks have been horrible for me.  I haven't been feeling well and its really affected everything... everything. Ugh!

Wearing: Floral Shirt - 21men, Leather shoulder and back coat - ASOS, Fisherman Pants - Vintage, Bucket Bag - Vintage Polo Ralph Lauren, Moustache Socks - Urban Outfitters, Rainbow patent leather shoes - Dr Martens, Despite the fact I am tempted immensely to start this post with another long winded metaphorical anecdote about how enlightened I feel after having attended Fashion Weekend, I won't. Because even though it was a really great experience I got to spend it with friends I haven't seen for over 8 months and that's honestly the best part of everything. (Cue the cheesy music and close up shots of my face with the beach as the background) Disregarding all that, Fashion Weekend was a huge hit for me. I attended with Lizzie Le of Lolizzie and two girls named Nina and Lucy. We spent the day browsing through the booths, hunting and attending a KORA ORGANICS masterclass hosted by none other than Miranda Kerr's mum - which made everything ten times more exciting. Lizzie's gorgeous two toned purse. Two of my street style victims. Both wearing awesome outwear. That is Therese Kerr, Miranda Kerr's mum. She's so lovely. She markets her products of KORA so effectively. She actually wants to help and share her expertise with her clients - not just sell them everything they've produced. The masterclass/tutorial she gave as actually super duper helpful and amazing. Loved it. (Plus everything smells nice! Go check it out! KORA ORGANICS) (MORE PHOTOS OF EVERYTHING AT LOLIZZIE.BLOGSPOT.COM.AU - [if you want to see me in a headband looking like a diva tennis player] )

I love color and just had to take advantage of this amazing yellow rape field. We drove by it last weekend when going for Mr.B's rallye. Isn't the color amazing? I really didn't do photoshop these pictures. The color was this bright, I swear! 

The weather that day was awesome as well, sun, 30 degrees and the smell, wow! A thunderstorm was building up though, that's why some pictures have this dark sky already. The storm also stole all the warmth, with only half the temperatures for the rest of the weekend :(

I still had a great time with Mr.B. and we enjoyed the nice weather during the rallye!

What I wore

Cardigan: H&M Men's section

Pants: Long Fashion

Shirt & Earrings: Thrifted

Ring: Bazaar in Brazil

Scarf: Gift from my mom

H&M jacket, reconstructed thrifted mini dress, Target Mossimo Karsten booties, F21 necklace, Ray-Ban aviators

Apparently TGIF=no pants fridays, I'm cool with that! What I wore last Friday on what I realize now to be a double date, whoops. We went to my recently fave spot Olio's Pizzeria and Cafe. It's amazing stone-brick oven pizza and if you ask me the best one is the Magherita Plus with crispy Prosciutto. We've gone back almost every week for the past month. I can't help myself! 

I'm wearing my favorite pieces as of late: the military jacket (if you already couldn't tell by my past 3 outfit posts) and these mossimo booties. The booties were a steal at only $10 from Target and the last was in my size! That's fate I tell you! They're pretty comfy once you've worn them in a bit and I've added insoles for extra cushion. The mini dress is a reconstructed thrifted blouse. I just put in the sides and shortened the arms. I was in love with the pattern as soon as I saw it on the rack. 

I'm still in the middle of finals (first one is tomorrow, wish me luck!) so hopefully I can blog a lot more once summer has finally came. I've got some rather big news I'd love to share with you all in the upcoming posts so stay tuned!

PL: Witam Was serdecznie, W związku ze zbliżającym się Euro 2012 znalazłam coś interesującego dla kibicek - oryginalne naklejki na paznokcie z motywami barw narodowych zespołów uczestniczących w mistrzostwach piłki nożnej, m.in. Niemiec, Francji, Grecji, Włoch czy Hiszpanii. Ja postawiłam na modny wzór flagi brytyjskiej w różnych kształtach. Naklejki wodne pięknie się prezentują na paznokciach pomalowanych pastelowym lakierem - tym razem wybrałam najpopularniejszą barwę z gamy pasteli, czyli apetyczny kolor lodów miętowych. EN: Hello Everyone, In less than a month, Euro 2012 is taking place in Poland and Ukraine, so I thought, that it would be great to find something interesting for fashionable soccer fans. I chose original stickers with flags of the countries, which are taking part in this European Championship, for example: Germany, France, Greece, Italy and Spain. I opted for stylish British flag motif in various shapes. The water decals look really cool with pastel nail polish - I used a mint one, which is very trendy at the moment. PL: Muszę przyznać, że jestem miło zaskoczona dobrą jakością naklejek i łatwością ich zastosowania - kilka sekund po zanurzeniu w wodzie są gotowe do aplikacji, nie miałam żadnego problemu z ich założeniem. Po wyschnięciu ściśle przylegają do płytki paznokciowej i nie przesuwają się. Naklejki są cienkie i gładkie - nie odstają od paznokci.

EN: I must admit that I am impressed by the good quality and ease of use of these nail art water decals. You just need to plunge them into water for a few seconds and they are ready to apply, I didn't have any problems with applications. After blowing dry they adhere very well to the nails' plates. These stickers are very thin and smooth, so you can't really feel them on your nails. I used: British flag nail stickers (you'll find it HERE) - Lady's Nails Cosmetics Mint nail polish - Essence Clubbing Colors #330

Found this printed trousers at the back of my closet. I've completely forgotten about them. I'm glad to be reunited because it seems they can serve me well this summer. Prints are big in the season, and while galaxy and florals dominate in trends, I think having lightning bolts on my trousers are pretty cool. You can consider them as tie-dyed, I think they are. But I prefer a much cooler way to point the prints out, haha. Tell me your thoughts though.  

On another note, I will be super duper busy in the coming 2 weeks, with the Global Gaming Expo and the company pool party just right around the corner, lots of preparations to do, lots of paperwork. That's my real life kicking in. I always wonder why I took up this major. But anyway that's irrelevant. This is about me apologizing in advance if in case I won't be able to update much. I'll try my  very best. Till then.

Cheers, Carla

Hey Lovelies, I bought this Marcs coat about a week ago and I'm in love with it. I had been eying off all the winter coats on the Marcs website and they were so expensive I never thought I'd be able to afford it. I went to Westfield with my boyfriend and I thought, what the hell! I don't have to prove I can afford to buy anything, so I will try on the coat - at least that way I'll stop dreaming (or dream more). At first I wanted this turquoise coloured one and for about a year now, I thought I'd be buying a navy/blue coat. I've had this perfect outfit in my mind, anyway! I saw the sale rack... that's when it all seemed possible! lol I didn't know if I liked the colour at the beginning but, tried it on anyway. (To see how it fit...) Adrian told me that I was better off getting this colour than a navy or blue because I wear jeans a lot so, it'd look SO blue! Lucky he was there, Adrian gives me great advice. :) I fell in love! I felt perfect in it! It reminded me so much of this childhood movie Rebecca and I would watch over and over again when we were growing up called Buleczka.                                                                (From the film Buleczka) What else can I say? I fell in love, it was on sale and I have worn it nearly everyday since! It was worth it! My shoes are from K-mart! They are similar to the J-Crew ones you can buy online for $200.00 odd dollars and I got this pair for only $15.00! Thank you K-mart! Love you all! -Olivia. xx Coat: Marcs Jeans: Wrangler Shoes: Kmart Get a similar coat here: Vintage Coat

(Denim Top: Zara, Top: Zara, Skort: Zara, Necklace: Topshop, Heels: Zara) Soft: Having a pleasing quality involving a subtle effect or contrast rather than sharp definition. I had my last english exam ever and am going through my physics currently, so after this is over I'll surely have more time to post! I still have Business and French in a week's time - but I'm definitely relieved that math and physics is over. Sorry this is turning into a "what exam did I have today?" blog but there is literally nothing more interesting going on in my life than this right now. Sadly enough. Haha hopefully by the time I graduate I'll have more things to write about. twitter//tumblr//teenvogue//chictopia//bloglovin//lookbook//facebook

Ciao,

Tammie.

apparel: Jason Wu x Target "dot wheel" dress

footwear: TBA 5ONTHEDOT wedges (won from Solestruck), nylon heart ankle socks (f21)

accessories: vintage buckle bag (thrifted), vintage leopard bangle (gifted), assorted bracelets (f21 & H&M)

This is what I wore to the BARE Magazine's Issue 11 Launch Party a few weeks back. I love the teeny tiny buttoned-to-the-top-button collar, the itty bitty ditty dotty wheel spokes print, and the beautifully knee-length pleated skirt that never seems to wrinkle (thank god!). Jason Wu, even if it is for Target, impresses me to no end. So in all seriousness, can I get a woot woot for Wu Wu?
