guess whos back

FROM THAILAND

That's right, me!

I had a really good time and because I'm lazy, I'll just 'summarise' my week with a paragraph of words:

rainy days, sunshine, crabs on the beach, sunset viewing, JUNGLE, Cher Fah, "biggest pool in SE Asia", European sweets, Thai chips, everyone thinking I'm Thai, not so good markets, exotic fruits, sweet and smiley people, facial, fresh coconut juice, yummy food, feeling homesick, super comfy beds, loooong flights, watching the news, watching movies, learning how to ride a moped-scooter, nearly running into a wooden fence, bonding with my sis, failing at bargaining, lady-boys...

... it was good and I'm looking forward to going again!

I'd post up some photos but I'm bringing some in tomorrow (since it's the first day of the last year of school) to show you all then! So!

Because I've barely gone shopping in two weeks, I'm itching to buy, buy, buy. But important things are coming up so I need to save. :(

I'm really excited about the rest of the year now (besides school). I mean, Topshop is in Aus, the dollar is strong so I'm really tempted to buy from US online stores, I have a whole line of crafty projects to work on and there are lots of movies I want to see! Exciting, isn't it? :)

I'll leave this post here because um, I just want to go online shopping now ahaha. But hey, is anyone going to Fashion Weekend Summer? Anyone want to?

Also. I want the bags featured in SHOP girl. So cute even though I'm not a "tween".
Why can't there be a good shopping magazine for teenagers? :(

&033 the holidays are here !

So how about that informal? It was fun, wasn't it ! :D
Blasted eyeliner dying... it makes me look so tired in the photo above!

Anyway... I just wanted to post about how it's the HOLIDAYS and how exciting and fun it's going to be! FREEDOM BEFORE YEAR 12 YAAAAY :)

I'll be heading out to Thailand next Wednesday, so that should be fun. Okay, but let's be honest. What I really wanted to post about is the fact that DIY has hit me in the face and I am (like the picture stuck on my school diary) VERY EXCITED AND READY TO MAKE THINGS.

Here's my DIY to-do list for the holidays (until the end of the year):
> beads embellished tights
> crochet flower necklace
> sheer blouse
> photo memory collage thing
> partially see-through sweater

and that's about it. I want to become more independant too, so wish me luck!

Okay, I have to go and clean up my room/organise my wordrobe/work on the photo collage now - but before I go, I went to Vinnies today and found some heels! I bought my first ever wedges and they look pretty cool. I found an awesome oversized jumper too but I'm still deciding about whether or not to cut it up for that DIY. Annnd I found a whole heap of awesome glasses but the lenses weren't clear so I couldn't buy them.

Gosh, I'm even more excited now.

alice's informal stuff

so as some of you know, i was an idiot and left my textbook at school, so i went to alice's house to study together... we spent the first hour prancing around in informal stuff so that was unproductive.... but we did get cracking and working for at least 3 hours in total (and we also had kfc and called anne to ask about circle geometry.. she was playing the highly addictive restuarant city and also had kfc... weird right??)

anyway, i managed to get a picture of her in her informal dress... she doesn't want it up on facebook though, cuz its too public so just add sequins it is!!!!

.... and also, her computer's bluetooth is dodgy and doens't work so i had to wait until i got home to post it (the troubles alice causes me *sighs*)
but anyway, check it out!!! Its actually a lot like mary's except its black and white at the top instead of black only and its skirt is a different colour... she's wearing that cardi thing over it though...

so what do you guys think???

and btw, she's wearing same heels as last year if any of you were wondering...

this is what I will buy when I'm rich -

Before I rush off to do religion/ancient/english/notes, I just wanted to post these two things.
I've been wanting a nice coat for a while now but I haven't really been searching for one because I don't really need them at the moment and hey, it's spring now. But look at this!!

It's called the Paris Calling jacket by French Kitty and I saw it here. I think it looks amazing and chic and oh gosh, I want something exactly like this! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.

And I just found this on The Satorialist today and I immediately saved it to put in my Lookbook. I like her outfit - especially the colours and skirt, but it was the shoes that got me.
I want them so much - they're perfect !


They make me think of Marie Antoinette, which is always a good thing. Except uh, you know, what happened to her/the condition of the people... but anyway! I want these shoes.

finally got informal stuff

right, damn somebody's waaay too fast on livejournal... lets just hope whoever you are hasn't already come to just add sequins and thought, GRACE YOU LIAR!!!!
anyway... i reeeeaaally hope noones got the same dress as me, i couldn't get something unique with the not-suited-to-grace trends, here are the photos


my shoes... gonna die in them

the dress... which is very red

does it look way too short?? especially in my towering heels???

yeahhhhhh

because I want to show you

So I had an awesome weekend, even though Ancient and English killed me. Speaking of which, I've spent too much time on the computer today! I need to go off after this and WORK and time my speech and hmmm. But I wanted to show everyone what I bought on the weekends because I got great deals! I love sales! :)

Okay, so I have to rush off the computer soon to wash my hair/do homework/study for test/time speech/work on EMBELLISHED TIGHTS and play Professor Layton, I'll just post up the photos. There's no shopping story though; sorry Grate!

I didn't manage to get a clear photo of my wearing my informal dress so give me your opinions on how it looks on me later, ok? Tell me what you think now though. :)

It's my 'statement' rose necklace from Sportsgirl. I got it on sale for $7.95 from $24.95 ~
It's very pretty. I might wear it to the informal if it looks nice with my dress. :)
Gosh, I love florals.

BAG I HAVE WANTED FOR AGES. Quilted. Check. Studs. Check. Gold. Check. Chain strap. Check. $20 yes yes yes yes yes yes! (Used to be $40!)
I have my eye on the Gloss floral bag, Forcast bag and the pink version of this now. :P

Sunnygirl dress I bought at Vakko for $30 from $65. Score! I love dresses like this and I really like the floral pattern! Because it's long-sleeved, I can wear it in winter/autumn too~ :)

I got this beauty for $45 from $90 at Urban Culture. I really like it and haha, it's kind of short. Okay short though? Hmm, but I'm biased.

Oh right. I nearly forgot - thanks for reminding me Wulie! INFORMAL DRESS ABOVE~

OPINIONS PLEASE!

shopping!!

LOL, there have already been two informal posts, but oh wells, for the moment, everything revolves around informal...

i went shopping a little yesterday but it was kinda, we-have-some-time-so-why-not shopping so it wasn't as fun as TODAY!!! I went with my sister again (she's probably my favourite shopping buddy since she knows my not-yet-fully-formed style really well and gives BRUTALLY honest opinions), and some seriously interesting things happened...

Anyway, we were just wondering along happily and the first place we went was temt (we worked our way from top to bottom) and there was this sequinned dress and it was SO PRETTY, and i took a sneaky photo in the change room to post here, since i couldn't find one in their catalogue..

the quality kinda sucks since it was my shitty phone camera and the sequins are VERY shiny and reflective.... as you can see, my addiction to shiny things, sequins especialy when this blog started (not too long ago) hasn't faded. It was only $50, and i wanted it for informal, so why didn't i get it?? Well, i thought maybe it made me look fat, but my sis said no, then i was scared it wasn't apporapriate since its not really at all formal-y and reminds me more of what girls wear when they go clubbing, but since this was informal O.o. And of course i couldn't just get it and decide later since i don't go clubbing and i could hardly wear it out casually.... and of course as it was not exactly conservative, i was scared my mum would disapprove. She actually loves me to wear things that stands out which is great, but of course, it has to be her type of stand out... and you guys' approval of course, what do you think? Appropriate for informal??

Anyway, i also bought a ribbon headband thingy and a SEQUINNED SCARF that I've wanted for so long from forcast, except i think it works better as a belt so i'm gonna use it as a belt i still want the one from forever new though... and since i can easily bluetooth it over, i guess I'll go to the trouble of taking a picture.... how nice am i?? maybe I'm only doing this cuz I'll eventually take a pic anyway LOL, anyway, here they are....

again. quality sucks. not only was it phone camera, there was no lighting... oh wells, god enough, wanted a headband since my fringe is screwy and a headband kinda hides it as tested with my sister's VARIOUS headbands....

sosososo, here's the weird thing that happened, i was in forcast trying on all these scarves and stuff right, and i tied one around my waist, and then when i was asking my sister to help me choose either the blue or red headband, she told me to take it off, so i draped it over my arm... then when we bought stuff, i competely forgot it was there (cuz i had a shopping bag already hanging there - nail polish!!) and when i walked into mirage next door, i just SAW it on my arm, and the shop asisstants didn't even realised i just walked out with it, and nothing beeped!!! AND it had a security thingy that you need the magnetic thingy to remove tooo!!! I didn't have the capability to remove it without destroying the scarf itself, but it was pretty AND expensive and it was such an OPPORTUNITY, but being the good person i am, i returned it.... *sighs*, lets forget that i couldn't have used it anyway since it had the tag... can't believe thpose shop people didn't notice

anyway, i went and tried to look for sophia's dress in ice but couldn't find anything $70, infact, nothing over like $40 before i got bored and left... i moped over the sequinned dress and my mum said she'll come look at it next week, anyone who reads this, tell me if you think its appropriate!!!

& 026.

Dear Forever 21,
Please open in Australia super soon. Yes, we already have a Forever New but you are both different stores and I think that the Forever clan needs to grow!
Please please come to Australia in the next few weeks so I can snap up a lovely dress for the informal...
Don't lose me as a potential customer - especially in this economic crisis! *O*

...

It's very doubtful that that's going to happen so here, look at the five pretty dresses I will never get to have/think would be great for the informal. :)


I don't like this dress as much as the others, but I think it's still very nice and would be pretty for the informal ~
I like the colour and bow and bubble hem - very cute, don't you think? :)


I don't think this looks that nice on the model (sorry, model) but don't you think that this is such a pretty dress! I really like the colour combo and three tiers! Hmm, the colours remind me of Sam's dress actually.

I want a dress like this!! Sam said that she saw a lot, so hopefully I'll manage to buy one.
It's pretty casual but I can dress it up and wear it when out too! Yay~

SO FREAKING CUTE OMG. I hate you, America!!
I love love love love love love love the pretty colours and floral pattern but... strapless dresses are a no no for me. ;P

And now, for my dream informal dress - even though it's strapless...

GORGEOUS !!!

cupcakes at anne's

I was going to post about some very pretty perfect-for-informal dresses I found but that can wait until tomorrow night, after I PAY FOR IT AND HAND IT IN.

Don't forget! The money and note is due on Tuesday.
The Cupcake stall, run by Anne and Julie, is also on Tuesday.

I made cupcakes at Anne's house today. (Cupcakes at Anne's... you know, like Breakfast at Tiffany's? Hahahahaha. )

Here are some pretty pictures! Lol what kind of fashion blog is this? A very cool, flexible one! :)

Mixing the mixture. It was utter hell at first but then we got used to it and had shifts - holding the mixer, scooping the sides with a spoon... it worked out. I'm pretty sure I got stronger :P



This is me and Anne getting ready to bake. Don't you think we look strong and fierce?
Anne's blob of flour on her nose actually managed to stay there for like, four hours. :O


The fail! cupcakes rising/falling in the oven. They smelled nice though :)

Aww, look at the fail! cupcakes. Aren't they adorable?
Cookies and cream flavour, they are. Anne and I worked really hard to get these cupcakes done and Anne's mum and brother helped us heaps too! :)
(I think her dad was gardening or out...)

Me with the mini-cupcakes, which turned out really well!! Don't they look awesome?

Anne - it was really fun but tiring today huh~
Thank you for letting me come over and thanks to your mum and dad and brother too~

Tomorrow: the pretty dresses I will never get to have *tear*
