What''s your go to pink outfit?

Florals and burgundy

It's that time of year again for university students in Australia. First day back in campus. This year is my Junior year of college. 2 more years till I'm going to be throwing my cap in the air in celebration. I'm one of those people who actually dresses up on the first week of university. Just how I am. Though I don't rock up with high heels but I like to be fashionable. But after the first week it's back to laid back outfits (mostly due to over sleeping and not having time to in the morning).

I go back first week of March and so this week I've been doing a lot of retail therapy. Do I use the "I need new clothes for first day of university."? Yes. Definitely. Always. Every year. Well every semester. 

It's still super summer here Aus. So this outfit is a back to the campus summer/fall look. 

My skirt is from Paper Scissors. I just love florals. This skirt is flowy and the floral pattern is just perfect for summer.

My spaghetti strap burgundy top is from Vallerygirl. I love this top because there's many ways to wear it. The fabric is thin to tuck under shorts and skirts but it's not see through and doesn't require having a singlet underneath. It comes in other colours and is only $6.95!

What do you think of flat-forms? I've been eyeing this pair for months and I finally bought it just few days ago. Their a great way to add a little height but not to obvious of you wearing heels to school. I like to wear flats to university but sometimes it's nice to add a little wedge. So these flat-forms is the answer! I got this in Novo.

All these rings are from my favourite accessories store called Lovisa which I've mentioned many times. They have such a great range of accessories. I went for a gold and black theme to my jewellery for this outfit because it really suits the burgundy top.  

I had this statement necklace for a while and I thought it just adds something to the top because it's plain solid colour. It matches my rings with the gold and black theme. I don't remember where I got this from but my bet is form Lovisa. 

If you have time I think it's nice to add a bit of braid to your look. I watched Zoella's hair tutorial called Halo braid. It's an easy everyday hairstyle. You can have it with your hair curled or straight and even wavy or an up do. I chose to curl my hair just like Zoella did. Go check out her tutorial!

I recently dyed my hair for the very first time in my 19 years of existence in this world. I decided to go with the ombre style hair dye. It was exactly what I wanted. I decided to keep my natural hair at the top but got the rest of my hair ombred. The curls aren't too much and didn't even use hair spray. 

What's your first day of  college look this year? 

A splash of red

I'm so done with summer that I'm thinking about autumn already. Even though it's still hitting above 30 degrees here in Australia my mind is focusing on autumn. I just want it to be autumn already. I miss wearing my scarves, jackets and coats. Where I can wear dresses with boots and a cardigan. Where I can still wear shorts but with a super comfy jumper. Where I can wear a cosy scarf everyday. 

In spirit of season of the falling leaves here is an autumn kind of outfit.

2013 Favourites

Well hello there 2014! 2013 went by so fast. I'm still writing "2013" instead of "2014". I think everyone can relate to this. 2013 has been okay but full of good memories to remember. Okay meaning there were days of confusion and bad/angry/I don't know what I'm doing in my life days. I'm just so happy it's 2014 already. I think this year will probably way better than 2013 for me. I'm finally making dreams into plans. I have a better confidence on what I want to do in the career part. It's an exciting year for everyone in my family because we all are hitting big numbers this year. I'm turing Twenty or what I call "Twenteen" ;). 30th and 5th Anniversaries, my big bro is gonna be half of 50, my bro in law will be 30, my lil bro is gonna be sweet 16 and our star (my niece) is turning 1! A very big year for all of us! #Excited!

Even though 2013 was okay-ish for me I've got a few 2013 favourites to share that maybe will be your 2014 favourite. 

Fashion/Beauty:

I managed to wear this acid washed denim jacket all year round. I wore it over dresses and shirts. 

Peplum. I have loads of peplum styled dresses and shirts. I just LOVE it.

Canvas shoes. I've stopped wearing these type of shoes but last year I went back to them. 

Rose gold jewellery. I was still not happy with how the colour looks with my skin but I started to be ok with it

The halloween kiss perfume was a present from my 18th birthday and it is almost finished. I carried it around everywhere especially when it started to get hot. It has a very spice but settle smell. 

I went through probably 3 of this baby lip pink from Maybelline. Really recommend this! There are few other colours but I especially love Cherry red and Pink blast.

Book:

University kept me so busy that in 2013 I only read 1 book which is just so sad. Shatter Me is pretty good. I finished the book in 2 days because I was very intrigued every ending chapter. There's a love triangle (As always) I'm definitely Team Adam.  

Movie/Concert:

I can give all 3 movies a 10/10 and definitely the One Direction concert a 11/10 experience

So what's everyones 2013 favourites?

Pink blush

"On Wednesdays we were pink" - Mean Girls

I used to say I wasn't the type who likes pink. I would say "No way my favourite colour is purple!" But looking at my closet 1/3 of my clothes are in fact pink. Don't get me wrong I love pink, it isn't my favourite yet I have more pink then my favourite colour. This outfit is what I wore to dinner a few weeks ago and I was pink all over. 

Skirt: Forever New

One of my favourite skirts in my closet. It's a very light shade of pink that I can pair it a lot of other colours. It has a floral pattern inward bevel.

 Top: Forever New

This top is loose yet elegant look with the beading in the sleeves. It's a very light pale pink. You can pair this top with pretty much anything. Pants, shorts and skirts. It'll look great but this outfit I paired it with a skirt. 

Necklace: Love Couture

I use to work in one of my favourite accessory store here in Perth. This necklace was from that store. I love using this necklace. Goes with a lot of my outfits.

Heels: Dotti

Bag: Forever New

You would think those heels are uncomfortable but they are one of the comfiest pair of heels I own. Even though it's heel, it's really think heels and a tall platform. Topped my outfit with a cute small bag.

Do you wear pink on Wednesdays? 

The Charm life

It's saturday and it's a review kinda day!

I have a very little Juicy Couture Charm collection that I've always wanted to start. About a few months ago my mom came back from the states and brought along my very first charm bracelet. She told me over the phone and I rejoiced! Not only did she got me a bracelet but she got me a charm too. Happy girl I was! 

This charm bracelet is called Heart banner starter charm bracelet. This one is the silver chain with a purple heart charm. This design will be hard to find nowadays, I know eBay is selling these but I don't really trust the authenticity. A similar design of this is the Heart crown starter charm link bracelet. 

The chain features medium sized flat links and is 7.5" in length. Is made of brass, glass and stainless steel. Keeping that always new look forever! The toggle closure features a crown like shape.

This uber fabulous heart banner charm is located to the right of the bracelet is forever secured. This charm comes with the bracelet but you can't take this one out. The heart shape is made of glass and is purple in colour. Across the banner it says Juicy Couture with a ribbon to the left and a very tiny diamante to its right adding a bit of sparkle. 

Usually I would wear the bracelet just as this. Simple but yet very fabulous. I've worn this countless times and it has managed to stay as new. This is probably because I actually take good care of it. I put back in the box and once in a while I wipe it down so that it stays stainless. 

This is the first official charm I got. It's called High Top Sneaker Charm. There has been other released styles of sneakers such as the Sneaker Charm in blue and gold. The pattern is just Juicy Couture repeated multiple times and has a pale pink background. The laces are a shimmery silver material and actually criss crosses just like any other shoelace. This charm reminds me of converses and has meaning to me in a way. I use to love wearing converses. I still love converse but as I said before I've become so girly and only wear them when I have too. This was a great first charm!

Isn't this so fab?! This charm is called Beach Bag unfortunately I couldn't find a website that still sells this other than eBay and amazon but if you trust them go ahead and get it from there. Yellow and blue in colour and has a dangling heart shaped sunglasses. One of the reasons why I love this one is because inside the bag is a tiny little towel! Adorable isn't? 

Now if you know me personally I like going to beach but I hate getting more tan cause I tan easily. I grew up being in the beach all week. My childhood I lived  probably less than 100m away from the beach. I remember going there and hang out with my friends. My little brother and I had our farewell party at the beach with all our friends. Up until now I like going to beach and just chilling and sink in the beautiful view. 

Out of all the charms I have this one has got to be the random one. Yes it's a watermelon charm the size of my thump. Juicy Couture has other fruits like kiwi and strawberry. I find this one cute because the cut view is sparkling with the black one as the seeds. I love watermelons so why not have it as a charm? 

The Parrot charm features a flappable wings! Although this one colours are green yellow I still consider it as a parrot. Says so in the box anyway. This one is just so fun to flap it's wings but I do get worries when I wear this one because I have fear the wings will break off.  Knowing me I have the baddest luck I'll probably end up doing just that. 

How awesome is this? 10/10! As you can see this one is called the Tennis Racquet charm and features its very own pink tennis ball. I love this one, just love it! There's another charm called the Can of tennis balls charm to pair it up with but unfortunately haven't had any luck finding it. Probably when I go visit the states, fingers crossed!

This is one has a meaning to it. The only sport that I consider myself good at (was good at cause I haven't played in 3 years) and enjoyed. From the age of 9-12 I was on the court right after school every weekday and even on weekends. My whole family played tennis and a lot of my friends back then played as well. I got my very first (and very last) trophy playing tennis. One of my goals is to get back in the court and hopefully join competitions again. 

Last, but not the least, is the Ballerina Charm. Isn't this just so charming and pretty and elegant and just so classy? I love how the face in a diamante and the tutu has rhinestones around. It just adds that special touch to the charm. 

This one is my favourite by far. From the age of 6 till 12, I took up Ballet lessons and loved it. Ballet was the reason why I love dancing. It's given me the confidence to perform in front of so many people. Even after moving to perth when I had to perform either dancing or singing in a choir I never really got nervous to go on stage (public speaking is another story though). If there's one thing I'm confident in it's got be dancing. I may not be the best at dancing but it's my thing and you can say I'm the dancer in the family. Just like tennis I want to get back to Ballet and different types of dance including hip hop and contemporary. 

Do you have your charm bracelet?

Lovisa Haul

Hola! It's Tuesday what a perfect day for a lil haul post. So here it goes! 

One of my favourite stores to buy jewellery from is an Australian company called Lovisa.

One of the reasons why I love this shop is because they have these totally amazing sales. The one I especially like is their 3 items for $10. When I walk pass by it and see that big red circular sign my feet just automatically goes towards it. There hasn't been a time where I came in and did not find anything. I always come out with that cute paper bag and your purchases all wrapped in that brown tissue paper. All ready for you to unwrap when you get home and realise how much of a shopaholic you are. A few weeks ago they had that sale and these are the ones I came home with. 

This stretchy bracelet is more used for casual wear. The colour has that pastel feel in purple. 

This clamp bracelet has a gold lining making leaves all around the bracelet. It's finished with a pale violet shimmery accent. 

I couldn't believe that this amazing gold accent panther cuff bangle was only $3.33! All around are pastel lime green spots. There's a similar panther cuff in black and gold. 

Make sure you watch out for the 3 for $10 sales cause you can usually find amazing stuff. And who doesn't like bargains?! They also have good sales in their website for those who are not living in Australia. They ship worldwide but I know the shipping is just not worth it but might as well check them out. 

Unfortunately it'll be hard to get these exact same bracelet in the website and in-store. But I do know Lovisa tends to do replicas but in a different colour. Or you can go to the store and try your luck, especially in the outlet store in Harbour Town. 

What's your favourite jewellery store? Any crazy sales they do? 

Comfy Outfit

Through out the years I've realised that I've become very girly with my fashion style. I used to wear converse shoes all the time but now I'm always wanting to walk with flats, wedges and high heels. My everyday style is pretty much dresses and jackets. I would usually wear cute flats with it. When it's summer it's the same but I opt to go with shorts, flowy top, cardigans and flats. So I went for a mix of the things I love and viola! Comfort outfit! 

Cardigan (Dark grey, long): Valleygirl

Dress (short, skater, white flower patterns on midnight blue): Valleygirl

Shoes (White canvas primsoles): Rubi Shoes

Necklace (silver, dove shaped with pearls): Lovisa

Bag (Doctors bag style, detachable strap): Marc by Marc Jacobs

What's your comfort outfit?
