Giza Girl

Joyrich x Giza sweatshirt, American Apparel shorts, thrifted bag, vintage silk scarf from Chicago Thrift Shimokitazawa, Giza necklace, Windsor Smith boots, rings vintage/from eBay/borrowed from Mum.

Do you ever have those clothing items that once you acquire them it's like... how did I ever go so long without one of these ?? For me this applies to a quality oversized sweatshirt. You're prob thinking, "why not just get an XXL from the men's section at K-Mart?" well thankfully I didn't need to after finding this perfect Joyrich x Giza sweat that I had been eyeing for long time. I like it so much I even ordered it in white as well. You know you really like something when you gotta have it in every colour.

Below is my new outfit vid featuring this look ^_^ Apologies if it feels a little Groundhog Day, I'm still figuring out ideal spaces around my home and neighbourhood for filming (so far my bedroom still has some of the best lighting!) but hopefully I will be trying out some new backdrops soon!

4 Back to School Looks (Part II)

As requested, another round of Back to School Looks! Flat-lay is a pretty gruelling but fun process, and I tried to keep each look as the type of thing that would be wearable for university (and possibly some uniform-free high schools?). Wearable, comfortable and (hopefully) school-appropriate. Things that are easy to wear for long periods of sitting down and catching public transport. I hope you enjoy and perhaps find some inspiration :-)

Look 1: PREPPY - Supre crop, thrifted pleated mini skirt, Merona cardigan, vintage coach backpack, Windsor Smith platform loafers, beret from eBay, K-Mart knee-high opaque tights, Adidas Originals watch.

This look is definitely inspired by Clueless vibes and that pared-back 90s minimal style, focusing on a simple colour palette. I'd even wear little black bike shorts under this mini skirt for extra freedom of movement. And no - I don't expect you to fit all your school supplies in a bag that tiny lol. I just could not effectively fit the intended bag in the frame for this look, but it would have been my Candy Sugar japanese school bag.

Look 2: SPORTY - Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals oversized t-shirt, American Apparel denim backpack (customised with studs and Katie keyring), Nike sneakers, YMCMB official snapback, Adidas Originals watch, bike shorts from eBay, socks from somewhere in Shibuya. 

This is actually my go-to travel, school, movies, running-erands, quick-and-easy look. The t-shirt is insanely soft and has a really flattering fit despite how big it is! This is such a suitable look for class, and the denim AA backpack is super sturdy and great for carrying a laptop and books.

Look 3: CUTE - Topshop polka-dot dress, Supre crop, pastel backpack from SPINNS, Nike AF1 sneakers, Adidas Originals watch, crescent moon choker from Etsy. 

A classmate of mine once told me I looked like an ice-skater when I wore this. The skirt of the minidress definitely has that vibe. Super-short and/or thin-strapped dresses are much easier to wear if you layer it over some bike shorts and a fitted t-shirt. And I can guarantee the comfort of this look as I wore it on the hike up to Diamond Head Summit in Honolulu.

Look 4: CASUAL - Custom crop sweatshirt, American Apparel denim shorts, Nike Sneakers, American Apparel thigh-high socks, Opening Ceremony tote, crisis heart necklace from eBay, Adidas Originals watch, Sportsgirl sunglasses (and my iPhone.)

On an everyday basis I wear a variation of this look (a different colour crop sweatshirt, a different colour of shorts, a different pair of Nikes…). In winter weather I add a long-sleeve crop underneath and a pair of tights. Sometimes I'd even swap the shorts for a mini kilt or tennis skirt. It's a laid-back look that doesn't look too laid-back (great sentence, I know.)

Lucas

Brandy Melville cropped turtleneck, American Apparel jeans, vintage belt, vintage Coach backpack, thrifted beret, Windsor Smith loafers, Giza necklace.

This is my anticipating autumn look… At this time of the year (especially after having recently shopped in another country's winter) I feel like I am so ready to crack out my new cooler-weather pieces yknow?? and I'm just like lookin at that weather app with Sydney reading 33 degrees celcius.

Had some exciting events the past couple of weeks, including my birthday. Thank you so much to everyone for sending me kind wishes :-) And I should definitely give my birthday dinner a mention. Basically every year I can choose a restaurant I'd like to visit, and this year (after wanting to go for literally 2 yrs) I finally went to Arras! Such an experience. One of the best parts was the petit fours, which were like a portable candy shop - you can spend as long as you like with the selection of tiny cakes and sweets and eat as much as you like (this is following 3 courses btw... I wish I was able to eat more of them!) Anyway I'll now leave you with my photos below as they will do it all much better justice than my descriptions. Hope you are all having a great February ( ´=ิ◞౪◟=ิ’)

(p.s. not sure if explaining the post title is necessary, but here's a clue: "What's with today, today?")

BE. AGGRESSIVE.

Vintage cheerleading top from eBay, American Apparel tennis skirt, Nike AF1 sneakers.

Happy Halloween :-) This year I channelled Torance Shipman, Angela Hayes and Marley Shelton. We spent the evening at a Day of the Dead Hullabaloo, which consisted of lots of skull painted faces, mexican fighting masks, freakin good chimichangas and bubbling Death Punch. And we may have got all free drinks for the night cos our costumes were so good?? aw yea. Who did you guys go as for Hallow's Eve slash what did you get up to?

Also can I just say - WOAH... I hadn't realised how long it's been since I posted??? Over two months. Insane! I feel like I have a pretty decent excuse though, major projects, I'm developing my own clothing label yada yada yada... Talk to you soon :-)

Panthera

American Apparel tennis skirt, custom cropped white sweater, Nike AF1 sneakers, white tiger backpack, Forever New gold chain, Adidas Originals watch.

So basically this is as close as I can get to becoming the princess Jasmine of Sydney, but I still have hopes to find a nice rich man/woman (anybody willing tbh) to provide me with a real and very alive upgrade... ～A girl can dream～ But this beheaded version already gets so many stares and requests from strangers to pet it. And he even gets his own seat at cafes! Pretty much completely spoiled like all my cats.

I don't think I've ever had a bigger project/DIY/post requests/activity/watch list than I do currently. I've already ticked a bunch off and have been feeling super productive (e.g. my custom sweater in this post). By now I've finished at least 4 first seasons of current TV shows, seen a handful of movies, and finished watching playthroughs of a few games (I feel that The Last of Us deserves a mention here, it will be the reason I buy a PS4) plus started playing The Walking Dead myself (and next up Assassin's Creed or Bioshock Infinite). Gonna do all the things ᕦ(◕ヮ◕ )ﾉAlso stay tuned for my updated makeup tutorial that will be posted on my tumblr this week! Talk to you soon ♡

Denim²

American Apparel denim jacket and shorts, Nike Air Force One sneakers, H&M gold chain necklace, Adidas Originals watch, rings from eBay.
Oh my god Sofie actually made a new outfit post... She must be on a break from school. Seriously though, I've been so excited for this mid-semester break because I still have a TON of things I want to do and new posts and videos I want to make (I feel like theres a backlog). Also lately I've become even more of a hyper-perfectionist about my blog content, in fact for the first time I recently scrapped a post because it wasn't up to my standards. Basically, good things take time. So I like to wait til I have the time to make my content the best it can be. OH but I did start my next video yesterday! I'm really excited about it, hopefully I'll be able to finish it next week and have it uploaded really soon. In other news, The Walking Dead season 3 is over, so now I don't know what to do with my life. BUT a friend recommended me another amazing zombie series In the Flesh, about cured zombies assimilating back into the living world. Defs check that out if you haven't. Not sure I have much else to update you guys with... other than that I've been buying way too many things for myself lately... sob. I hope you are all doing wonderfully, see you soon!

Off That

Missguided off-shoulder crop top, American Apparel high waisted cuff shorts, Demonia creepers, silver rings and above-knuckle rings from eBay, passing hands ring by Gala Curios, tattoo chokers and pentagram necklace from eBay, butterfly temporary tattoo from some arcade in the city.
Oh man my collection of crop tops has grown so vast over the Australian summer, but since it's just turned Autumn (and I spent most of my holidays in winter weather) I'm trying to wear them all while I still can !!! It's a hard life. I actually only made this realisation after my huge closet and clothing rack clean-out during the holidays. I replaced all my hangers with new matching ones, and a couple of days ago I re-organised my pegboard (which is where I hang handbags, caps and other accessories). Don't you get so much satisfaction after cleaning out your closet? Not only does it look nice, but it's a great memory refresher on the clothing items you own, and you can dig out pieces you haven't worn in ages. How do you guys like to clean and organise your wardrobes/closets?
Hope you are all doing great! See you soon :)

(p.s. sorry if you now have this song stuck in your head).
