Baby Blue Jean


American Apparel denim jacket and socks, The Mountain Three Wolf Moon t-shirt, Sretsis skirt, Demonia creepers, Kreepsville 666 eyeball bow hair clip, SEE glasses, Disneyland Jack Sparrow emerald ring, Gala Curios "Passing Ring", Munny zipper pulls, Lactose Intoler-Art Manitas necklace, second emerald ring, Boy George pin and Councillor pin all vintage.

Exactly one more month left of Summer and I'm getting in the mood for Autumn clothing~ Picked up this denim jacket from the men's section of American Apparel along with the Smoke Dazzle polish from the their new Metallic range. When I tilt my fingers the colour changes from pinky-purple to blue-green and it looks amazing in bright sunlight.



and my new favourite necklace (gifted from Hayley) by Lactose Intoler-Art features Manitas from Nadia in Harajuku, Tokyo; one of my favourite street style icons who I recognised immediately when I saw the pendant!

Bunny Hologram Nails



Photobucket



Aren't they cute? Thanks to my friend Ellen who is a nail genius. The base coat is blue Hologram polish from The Make Up Store, as you can see in the GIF above I tried to capture it's trippiness in direct sunlight and also under flash. I've never seen Hologram polish in person until yesterday. And I've wanted to try bunnies on my nails ever since seeing this.

It's been quite a while since my last post. I always want to take nice photos in my room, but when I get home from uni around 4:30-5:30pm, all the good lighting is gone because it's still winter... and because I'm so fussy, I always put it off /sigh. Also been quite busy working on two uni projects at once, both styling for photoshoots. My first shoot is going to be slightly Wednesday Addams inspired! I'm really excited about it. Anyway - I have a few cool posts planned that will be coming up shortly ^_~

Also thank you to Victoria for mentioning me on Ellevictoire! I was so excited to see my GIFS in her post and thankful for new followers I've gained. Welcome! I can't wait to check out all your blogs, and I really hope you enjoy my posts : )

American Apparel Nail Polish



This post title is dedicated to AA nail polish and how amazing it is. I don't know what's in their magical formula (I think it's unicorn tears or something) but I've never had polish that applies so smoothly, requires such few coats, and lasts well. I sound like an ad but seriously, if you're into nails, you need it in your life. However the only thing about it that sucks is that they don't have enough colours T___T I picked up the 'Peacock' shade along with some new socks (!!) from AA during my break at uni today, the Sally Hanson strips and OPI Black Shatter are a gift from my sister (I'm really excited to try them both out for the first time), and the September issue of Vogue Australia. Oh and thanks to my mum for the french Taratata Bijoux oversized camera ring : )





I'm back at uni now \o/ the six week break has ended. Also, thanks to my amazing and talented friend slash creative partner Vanessa, I've become assistant stylist to Hayley from Fashion Hayley and having a lot of fun! So far we've worked on a cover shoot for Fashion Journal and I've already learned so much, and this Saturday I'll be assisting with the shoot of local Sydney band Circle Pit. The concept has a bit of Rockabilly influence :'D yay creepers~!!

Now I'm into the swing of things again, more posts coming up very soon.

Marble Nails



I tried nail marbling for the first time! It's so much fun : ) I can't wait to give it a go with other colours and maybe even more than just three.

















Tips for anyone trying this themselves:
  • Make sure you tape at least halfway down your finger, if not further, otherwise you will have marbled fingers
  • Toothpick your patterns in super fast! The quicker, the more you can play around with the shapes in the floating nail polish
  • Wait at least 12 hours before applying the top coat! Otherwise you'll get bleeding and the lovely neat marble effect will be ruined

All my supplies (`・ω・´) Also, I've probably mentioned this already but AA nail polish is insanely good! I just wish it wasn't so overpriced in Australia. It's really hard to find pastel/pale colours that apply without streaks and AA polishes are lovely and smooth.

And of course the essential item for perfectionists like me ┐( ´ ▽`)┌
