Jejune Stars

 

Blouse: Jay Jays | Skirt: Nasty Gal  | Necklace: Sportsgirl | Shoes: Rubi | Lipstick: Rimmel Pink Gossip

This was an outfit I wore to a friends party/birthday show, I have wanted a pleated black leather/faux leather skirt for awhile now and I finally found one for a reasonable price on Nasty Gal. I think it's pretty much a staple in my wardrobe now especially for winter and it seems to go with everything.

You probably can't tell from the photos but this blouse is actually star print, which I'm really obsessed with at the moment to. I think this all black outfit, is really simple but the rose gold accessories and star print help keep things interesting.

What fashion item are you trying to get your hands on at the moment?

Polka Dots & Wine: OOTD

Wearing: Sportsgirl Blouse, Thrifted Skirt, ASOS Flatforms, Sportsgirl Necklace & Bag

This outfit is an example of everything I love at the moment, polka dots, wine coloured anything and rose gold jewellery. I found the skirt on the $1.00 rack when I went opshopping the past weekend or so and couldn't put it down, I love a bargain! These shoes are also one of my favourite items in my wardrobe, I was a little scared to see how I'd be able to walk in a pair of flatforms, but they are absolutely fine and super comfortable. I love that I could throw a sweater on with this outfit and it would be totally perfect for the colder months here in Queensland. 

What are you loving at the moment? Are you an Opshop lover like me? 

Wild Flowers OOTD

 

Just a couple of snaps of my outfit from when Megan and I were out and about in Sydney, I love the colour and pattern of this dress. For this outfit I didn't want to overdo the accessories because it's such a statement on it's own. So I stuck with a chain headpiece (which I got a ton of complements/questions on), and just some black heel boots and my favourite black studded clutch. 

This dress is unbelievably comfortable and perfect for the summertime or wintertime with a leather jacket and chelsea boots. I got it from ASOS in the clearance section which is the only section of ASOS I buy from usually for under $30 AUD. I have a major obsession with long sleeved dresses which probably isn't the best considering it's really hot where I live but nonetheless the obsession continues. I would definitely recommend checking out the ASOS Clearance section and even if it's too much at the time add it to your bag and it will probably be reduced even further in a couple of weeks. 

I also kept my makeup pretty simple, just with some black winged liner and brown eyeshadows. I actually think I'm wearing MAC's Viva Glam Gaga 2 on my lips which is such a great lipstick and Benefit Sugarbomb blush on my cheeks. Please excuse my frizzy hair it was really rainy that day - but my hair is actually getting longer so I'm pretty happy with that. 

Dress: ASOS Clutch: Sportsgirl  Headpeice: Sportsgirl  Shoes: Rubi  Rings: Lovisa 

Check out the ASOS website for more dresses like this. 

Does anyone love ASOS as much as me? I'm sure you do. Hope you're all having a lovely week let me know what you're up to. 

Leopard Loafers + 100 Followers

Hey everyone, so you'll know if you read my last post that I was going to Brisbane to see Lucero (full post coming later). Anyway I did a fair bit of shopping whilst I was down there and these are two of my favourite purchases. For awhile now I've wanted a pair of leopard loafers, I've been seeing them everywhere and new I had to get my hands on some. To my surprise when I walked into Dotti there they were hanging with a pair of red ones. I of course picked up the first pair of size 10's I could find and tried them on. At first they were a little tight (because I'm a Sasquatch) but I couldn't pass them up and most shoes usually stretch out anyway. 

I wore them with a navy pair of trousers from Myer and a white over sized Wrangler singlet, it was comfy for walking around West End but also I think it was still pretty cute. 

The other item that I am absolutely in love with is this fluro greeny/yellow satchel from Sportsgirl. It's the perfect size, it's fits everything I need in it. The only flaw with this bag is the strap it isn't stuck on permanently and I found when I was walking a few times the strap kept coming undone which caused the bag and all of my belongings inside to hit the ground. Not cool when you're walking through a sea of people scrambling all over the ground to pick everything up. I obviously bought a lot more but wanted to show you these because I'm absolutely obbsessed, in fact I wore the loafers last night when I worked on the door for Cold Chisel haha. 

Bag: Sportsgirl - $14.95

Loafers: Dotti - $49.95

Pleated

Here we go, another outfit post I really don't do enough of these. Anyway this skirt is actually a midi skirt (I have it in black as well) but I wasn't feeling it when I went to go and take the photos so I basically just pulled it up really high and put a plain black t-shirt on and belted it - this is like my favourite belt except the studs are all falling off the front but I don't care I'll wear it anyway.  I am in love with turquoise jewellery and you can always find it set in great rings and necklaces etc, I am wearing a giant moon stone looking turquoise ring which I got from Sportsgirl and the Necklace is Megan's. On to the shoes, these are brand new first time they've been worn. I got them on sale for $30 at City Beach I rarely shop there so I was excited they had something I really liked they're so comfortable, I love them. Now time for some pictures.

Don't even ask what I'm doing with my feet in the third photo because I have no idea!

Black Felt Hat, Temt - $20

Bonds Black T- Shirt, Big W

Black Studded Belt - $20

Pink Pleated Skirt, Ally - $20

Black Mooloola Heels, City Beach - $30

Cross Necklace, Megans

Turquoise Ring, Sportsgirl - $4.95

In other news I am thinking of dying my hair just fully brown again but can't decide if I can let go of the ombre, would love your opinion should it stay or go?

Also has anyone else got any bargains lately, I haven't really bought anything full price lately. Let me know!
