I just wanted to say that Kate Middleton is beautiful

A little grey


Blazer from Ally, top from Dotti, high waisted shorts from Supre, silk wedges from lovelyshoes.net

I met up with Sandra this morning and we went to watch Fast and Furious 5. Everyone needs to go watch this movie. It has guys with defined abs, chicks with hot bodies and gorgeous cars. What more could you ask for? Okay no, but seriously. It was a really good action movie with some comedy chucked in as well. I'm now in the middle of a short term obsession with Sung Kang :3 ♥

After the movie we went to eat lunch at Max Brenner before going to take some photos near the Brisbane River. I'm really disappointed in myself for the photos I took today. There was probably 100+ and so many of them were over or under exposed asdjkasd how frustrating. Nonetheless, a few of them came out kind of nicely so I'll just chuck a few of them into the post now.









Before I go, here's a photo of my first proper attempt at a waterfall braid. I'm getting better, kind of. Have a nice night :)

lovelyshoes.net

A few weeks ago, some friends and I ordered stuff off http://lovelyshoes.net. The package just arrived today so I thought that I should do a review.



11 items (10 pairs of shoes and one bag): US $ 147.66
Shipping: US $100.28
Total: US $247.94

Packaging: Each individual shoe had a plastic packet to protect them. All the shoes were stuffed into the box together but only one or two pairs had dents in them.





Shipping: Obviously a bit pricey as you can tell from the information above. I didn't really mind that much since it ended up being something around $10/pair. The shipping was pretty quick! The package was prepared, shipped and arrived in less than a fortnight. They also supply you with a tracking number so you can check where your package is whenever you like.

Quality: I'm actually really surprised with the quality. All of the zips work perfectly. The heels are sturdy. The bows are in tip top shape. The only problem with some of them was that the glue was visible. It doesn't really matter though because it's so little that you wouldn't notice it unless you were to grab the shoe and actually inspect it for a few minutes. Another surprise was the size of the shoes. In a good way though! From some past reviews I've read, people said that the sizing was a centimeter or two off but for the pair of wedges I got, they fit perfectly!

Overall: Really good value for money and I'd definitely order again!

Here's the pair of wedges I got from the site. Originally I got them to wear with my semi dress but they didn't suit as much as I thought they would so that was a little disappointing. Nonetheless they're really nice and comfortable. The only problem is that I'd probably be taller than Khang in these ha. Click here to see them on the site.



Sandra, Linda and Thu were nice enough to let me take their shoes out of the plastic wrap so that I could take photos for this post so here they are. Click on the numbers to see the shoes on the site (from left to right) [ 1 ] | [ 2 ] | [ 3 ]

Seduction leads to destruction

I've challenged myself to type this post in less than 10 minutes so that I can go back to giving my 100% attention to Khang. I don't know why but usually my posts take me over half an hour to write. This kind of thing doesn't come very naturally to me I suppose.

Anyway! I went to DFO Jindalee with Sandra, Adrii, Salina and Alice today and my life feels so complete after buying so many rings from Diva. Everything there was 20 pieces for $10 /faints. Here's a collective photo of what all of us got. By the way, half of these photos were scabbed from Alice the ugly so yeah, thanks if you're reading.



All of the girls managed to buy so much with so little it was amazing. They were all carrying about five bags each and I was just chillin' with everything stuffed into one bag. I spent all of my money and I only ended up with a bunch of rings, a fleece varsity jacket for Khang (hopefully it fits) and singlet :( Alice got so much stuff and had the same amount of money as me asjdhasdjealous.





If anybody was wondering, both of the things I bought were from Cotton On.

Sorry for the quality of the photos by the way. My sister has the sd card for my camera at the moment and I'm too lazy to ask her to bring it to me.

So yeah, It was a pretty good day in general minus the bitchy bus driver in the afternoon. I asked him if the bus went back to the city and he told me to look at the front of the bus. I don't see why he couldn't have just said yes rather than making me walk into the pouring rain just to see ugh way to wreck a good day.

Have a great evening and damn it, I wrote this post in 13 minutes. So close yet so far :(

Let's just be



Yay, we all did our hair today. My hair looks exactly the same in these photos but it's a lot more noticeable in real life. Sandra got her blonde streak and Alice bleach/dyed her hair. I couldn't get Alice's hair to the colour that she wanted it to be because we ran out of bleach and the chemist didn't have any ugh. Nonetheless it looks pretty good on her. She looks good semi-ranga.





I don't really have anything more to say so I'll just leave it here. Have a wonderful weekend :)

Firsts


From left to right: Lovisa gem ring (for Linda), Lovisa cluster ring (for Sandra), fox ring from eBay and pinky ring from Silver city.

I'm beginning to love rings very dearly and after the photos Khang took for me today, I've realised that I have really gross looking hands. You can still see the last pieces of nude nail polish on some of my fingers oops.

I went for a group interview at Supre this morning and there was only two other girls with me. Not only were they gorgeous, they were also in uni and had heaps of work experience. Naturally I was intimidated but I was actually pretty lucky I chose the 11am session because apparently the other ones had something like 10+ people attending them. I think I did alright considering it was my first interview. Just thinking back on it now though I realised I said some pretty silly stuff ugh /face desk.

They asked me what I wouldn't be able to live without if I was stranded on an island.

I said I wouldn't be able to live without another person. Legitimate enough! Until I for some reason blurted out it was because I was really dependent.. zzz yeah that was probably my biggest downfall but everything else was really chill.


Ally blazer and bandeau, Supre sheer singlet, Sportsgirl bag, wrist candy from Cotton On and Diva.

Alice, Dora and Adrii are coming over to my house tomorrow so that I can do their hair. This is so exciting. I'm planning to bleach my hair just a tad lighter. Alice is planning to go full on golden blonde. Dora is planning to get a blonde streak or some highlights here and there depending on what I can do. Hopefully everything will go well and neither of them will kick me in the face for screwing up their hair.

Have a wonderful night!

Just a mix of topics



I'm in a super wonderful mood tonight because all my assessments are over! OUWDOJOIDHISD I can now relax and screw up my body clock again. This feels so amazing I cannot even explain. So yeah, to celebrate this occasion I'll be rambling on about useless things and splattering this post with photos I never uploaded to blogspot.



This is my wardrobe which I recently covered with pages from Russh and Cleo. Clusters of images always fascinate me but I can never seem to compose them properly. That sentence made no sense if you think about it. This reminded me of suitcase rummage for some reason. Just letting you guys know that I'll definitely be selling next month! (unless I forget to register or the weather decides to be bipolar or something)



I really adore doing people's hair. Alice is trusting me to bleach and dye her hair these holidays because the salons usually charge around $100 for a treatment and askldjasdkh I can't wait. By the way, I finally got my mum's consent to dye my hair. Hopefully I'll get a nice medium brown that's actually noticeable.



Okay, last one. This is my gorgeous friend Linda. She's been with me through a lot. I can tell her every single one of my secrets and not only will the secrets never come out of her mouth again, she will also never judge me. It's so rare for me to meet somebody who could accept every single part of me without wanting to change any of it. She's one of the sweetest girls I've met in this lifetime and I'm never letting her leave. We've already made plans to go to America when we're 19 or so as well :)

Have a great night!

Stop


Suitcase Rummage top and bag, skirt from Portmans, cuff and belt from Cotton On.


My stomach looks wide in the photo above because of my shirt :(

I went out to SLQ with Dora, Alice, Jayd, Felan and Jinwook today so I could get my animation done for art. It's kind of choppy and doesn't 'glide' very well because I didn't take enough photos of Dora doing stuff but ah well, it's pretty good considering I haven't done anything film related for a few years. Just to avoid any confusion, it's just a short introduction to the character which my semester's portfolio is based on hence Dora writing those kinda creepy things.

Oh and, for anybody that was curious. The video was made up of about 300 photos and I used the Movie Maker program on Windows because I have no idea how to use Sony Vegas boo.



After that we took more photos and yeah.. in case some of you don't read my Twitter feed, my right eye is crazy red for some reason. I woke up this morning and it was slightly pink but it didn't hurt so I thought it'd pass but then after we took all these photos Alice pointed it out to me and it was pretty bad. If I cover up the left side of my face then I look like I've been bawling my eyes out for ages LOL /cool story.





Last thing before I go! If you haven't already voted for me in Dotti's style nation competition for this month then please do. Just click on the first button on my sidebar :3 Have a wonderful night and enjoy the rest of your weekend! ♥

Beside you




Top from suitcase rummage, shorts from Portmans, headband from Lovisa.

I went out with some girls and boys to suitcase rummage today. It was so crowded today that you actually had to wait for people to move ugh. All of us spent an hour there until we got sick of walking around in circles and bumping into people. I ended up getting three things which totaled up to $11. I think thrifting's made me way too stingy :(



Apart from the top in the outfit above ($3), I also got a knit sweater dress thing($3) and a bag ($5). The knit dress admittedly looks kinda gross from the photo below but I swear it looks a lot heaps better when I put it on.



This 12 week term is really beginning to kill me. I don't know how I'm going to survive another fortnight /melts. I hope everybody has a wonderful week!

Top stolen from my mum's closet, jeans from Jeans West, bangles from Equip, ankle boots from Payless.

My mum came in while I was editing the photos for this post and complimented herself on her wardrobe. Oh and before I forget, Suitcase Rummage should be on this Sunday for anybody that's interested! Hopefully the weather's good so it won't be cancelled cause I want more blazers and some new skirts.

This week has been pretty bland in general. The weather's been as bipolar as Alice without any food so it hasn't really helped either. I think I'm complaining too much lately, oh well LOL. I got frustrated with so many things this week it was ridiculous. The thing that probably pissed me off most was my art teacher/sculpture.



It's a plaster casing of a mannequin's head connected to a piece of cardboard which I covered in random pages from a novel. The eyes were kinda tedious to do because I didn't cover the mannequin properly so a lot of the facial features didn't show up. Before I continue, I'd like to pay tribute to the markers I killed whilst drawing the eyes because I accidentally used them before the glue from the eyelashes dried, RIP(F).

So after I was done, the teacher came up to me and well...

Teacher: Oh you're done? You should cut that ugly board into a nice shape now.
Sarah: Can I cut it into a medal shape or something?
Teacher: That doesn't really have anything to do with your character that you designed, maybe cut it into a wing or something.

Then she walked off.

A wing. A WING? ARE YOU SERIOUS? The cardboard was initially already hard as hell to cut and now when it has an additional two layers of newspaper and heaps of PVA glue, you want me to cut it into a curved wing??????????? Aasdjasdkjh.

I'll stop rambling on now. Goodnight and I hope all of you had a better week than I did ♥
