My Little Pony

I'm off to the hairdresser's today (yay!) and these are some pictures that have been inspiring me. Lately I can't get candy-coloured tresses out of my mind. I've done the pastel, kind of ombre effect - with blue and then with pink - but maybe it's time for a full head of colour?

What do you think? I have always had a soft spot for My Little Pony... I just never thought I would be sartorially inspired by those magical beasts.

Stylin'.

Illin'

So at the moment I am very sick. Boo! I'm having a few days off work to try and fight this flu. But even sick days can be improved by shirts arriving in the mail, new editions of Lula magazine, and wearing new necklaces picked up from work.

Little Things 09.05.12

As promised, here's another Little Things post! There's quite a few photos this time - I know, it's been a bit of a break between posts! I'll try and not waffle on too much...

1. I caved in and bought a Diana F+ camera from work! I couldn't resist one called Mr. Pink // 2. Having a cup of peppermint tea with Bee while getting my hair cut at Peggy Sues // 3. My window at work! Well, it's changed by now, but I quite liked this display // 4. My new pug necklace (it's by Meow Girl in case you're interested!)

1. New vintage dress! It's the perfect length and has an awesome print that I will hopefully be able to show off in better photos soon!... // 2. New mustard tassel scarf from work - very useful in this deliciously cold weather! // 3. I thought Aidan looked a bit Bob Dylan-ish when he woke up from a nap one day // 4. Trying out lipsticks

1. Dinner at Lidos for some friends' birthdays - it was delicious! // 2. Breakfast with my sister at Tiger Tigers - this was avocado, feta and herbs on toast and was also delicious! // 3. This is one of Aidan's dog's Abby. She is the definitely most attention hungry out of all three dogs! // 4. Deciding on rings at work... I got both in the end but the rabbit in gold and the moose in silver.

I also went to a Friday the 13th party (almost a month ago, eep!). I came straight from work so went as a rather uncreative 'schoolgirl zombie'... lucky I usually dress like a schoolgirl, and found some talcum powder and lipstick to complete the look!

How amazing are those eyeball cupcakes?! I am very lucky to have friends who create such delicious food! The pregnant schoolgirl outfit was also one of my favourites.

And speaking of scary, the other week I had a backpacker's themed party to go to. So, why not dress up as one of Ivan Milat's victims?

Also, you can read a little questionnaire I did for Pigeonhole right here, if you want to know my pet peeves, secret talents and a bunch of other stuff!

Goodnight! x

p.s Was massively sad to read about the death of Adam Yauch from the Beastie Boys. RIP MCA.

Butter Me Up

I'd heard a lot about Revlon Lip Butters on various blogs and read a bit about them in magazines, so I was pretty excited to try them when they came to Australia - and having the gorgeous Emma Stone in the campaign didn't hurt, either. After much deliberation I went for a light, creamy nude (Creamsicle), and a really subtle lilac (Gumdrop). I ended up getting a free gift bag out of the offer too, which contained YET ANOTHER shade - a darker pink one (Pink Truffle) that I wouldn't have picked myself, but I actually quite like it on.

And of course, I'm pretty in love with the packaging!

They definitely do make your lips feel softer, but they do feel a little greasy on when you first apply them. I think they'd be fine worn over a lipstick or another colour, though, but I wanted to wear them by themselves at first to see how strong the colour was.

Have you tried them yet? I must say, even after only playing around with them, that I'm pretty enamoured. I've just made it a mission to get more into makeup and maybe deviate from the red lips or winged eyeliner looks I always rely on.

Bonnie & Clyde

This is the first in a series chronicling the style of our favourite bad girls. All the gumars, mistresses, natural born killers and gun-toting gals all have a special place in my heart, and who better to start with than Bonnie?

While the real Bonnie, of Bonnie and Clyde, was obviously a lot more badass than Faye Dunaway, I'm not sure she would have had this slightly beatnik, effortlessly stylish look going on...

♥

Bonnie and Clyde was made in 1967, and was based on a real-life crime duo, so there ain't no spoilers to be had here. In the film, Bonnie (Faye Dunaway) is a small-town waitress who meets bad boy Clyde (Warren Beatty) and becomes his partner in crime. The pair go from small-time robberies to bigger and more lucrative crimes, and are eventually gunned down in a very spectacular fashion by the local cops.

All the big hair, easy layers and pops of colour kill me. Being able to commit a bunch of crimes without a hair out of place is also a pretty impressive skill. Like her do in the second-last picture - is that a Bumpit I spy?? How else can you get such an impressive beehive in such a situation?!

p.s Maybe I was wrong about Bonnie Parker's style... she seemed like she had a little somethin' stylish going on!

It's Mayhem!

This isn't technically an outfit post, because I don't own anything I'm wearing in this photo (yet!), but I wanted to show you anyway. It's from Pigeonhole's Month of Mayhem, where a bunch of people get photographed in outfits from the Pigeonhole fashion stores. I had this photo taken on my lunch break on Saturday and I hope I don't look too frazzled!

I picked out the dress and the Pigeonhole manager from Shop 9 styled it up for me. I hardly ever wear all black but I really quite liked this outfit. It felt very The Craft/Teen Witch inspired. I dug it. I actually have the dress on hold to buy on Monday.

What do you think? The Muui range is actually pretty cute, and not too expensive. This dress was only $55! You can get everything I'm wearing at Pigeonhole's Shop 9 in Shafto Lane. 

This photo was taken by my lovely friend & coworker Tom, you can see more of his snaps here.

HELLO!

HEY EVERYONE! I am just quickly stopping in to say hello & assure you that I am not dead or anything like that. I know it has been about six years since I updated but I've just started my First Proper Full-Time Job - with a salary and everything! WHAT WHEN DID I BECOME A GROWN UP - and it has been keeping me busy (predictably). So until I figure out this work/life balance thing people keep harping on about, I have nothing to talk about except work. Which, well, even my family and my boyfriend only pretend to listen to.

But tonight I cut my fringe and took some photos and I thought I would put them up for you as a little sumthin'-sumthin'. I'm working on a Little Things post (my favourite posts to do) so watch out for that!

And yes, that is my favourite ASOS dress that I'm wearing. It has finally gotten cold enough to wear a wool dress AND tights AT THE SAME TIME!

So I'm off to swoon about the weather and watch Game of Thrones. That's the only other thing I can talk about except work.
