just what i needed







hellooo worldddd this is meeeeee. sorry. saying hello world reminds me of the saddle club... ANYWAY this was yesterdays outfit. i thought i'd tryout fishnets for the first time and all i can say is WHY HAVEN'T I OWNED THESE BEFORE?!?! they're so great at adding texture to an outfit! i even wore them again today! i bought them from paddy's markets (as well as the stud cuff) its my new fav place for accessories (i also got my fake chanel bag from there ;))

i'm also rocking my new docs in this pic. i'm unable to wear them out just yet because the toes are too tight :( i need to try and stretch them and then break them in. i wish they were more consistent with their sizing :( oh well. my fault for not checking out the shoe reviews like i normally do! i've been told to stuff them with wet news paper. anyone tried this and have it work?

also on other news im thinking of quitting my job and starting up a market stall/working part time. im so unhappy where i work and i'd rather spend my days slaving away with crafty diy projects ;) i'll do an instagram post soon and show you all what items i want to sell at my stall ^_^ also stay tuned for a new thrift haul blog! :D

wildfox wishlist!

so i've just been stalking iHATEblonde! she has amazing photography and i'm completely in love/jealous with her style! also she has an unlimited number of wildfox jumpers!!! these are the 3 she has that i'd love to steal!

i want this one in the cream ;)


i so badly want to cave and buy one (preferably the floral one first!) but its the end of winter this week and it heats up in sydney really quickly! :( they're so beautiful! any one know if wildfox does any sales? i'd love to snag these on the cheap!

or if you own one of these babies, are they worth the money you pay?

GAH! i suppose they'll have to stay on my wish list for now!
i'm currently saving to go to Melbourne for a shopping spree!! i've never been but i'm hoping to hit up some boutiques and op-shops since i hear all the cool kids live in Melbourne ;) any sites i should aim to see?

come at me summer!

so i actually worked out today D: i just did one of those workout posts that i keep seeing on my tumblr dash! the one i did was for dancer legs and included lunges, squats, jumping jack and stretches and i just added some ab crunches to focus on the areas i want to change. and OMG my butt/legs hurt!!!! i had issues walking down the stairs :P i love that things like this are so accessible to us now days!

it's hitting the end of winter now and tomorrow is meant to be 26 degrees (WTF? why so warm D:) soon it will be shorts and bikini weather and i'm determined to have a rocking bod. i need to focus on my eating habits coz i just had a post-workout cookie (whoops!) i want to eliminate mcdonalds from my diet and it's been a huge struggle for me because i usually eat it because i'm too lazy to choose something proper to eat! anyone else struggling to kick the bad habits? got any tips or tricks for toning up?

pretty excited/nervous for tomorrow!!! i only have to work 4 hours (win!) and its an open shift(double win!) and then i have to come home and finish my captain america outfit. since i'm making it off the top of my head i'm worried i'm going to screw it up D: wish me luck!

Nail artttt

penguins.
american flag.
Skull and cross bones.

So i'm a little obsessed with nail art. i've only done these ones so far, but i have a lot of ideas in my head!! my fav is by far the skulls. it's all been hand drawn. using the brushes that come with the nail polish and bobby pins for the dots :) i just purchased 3 tiny nail brushes so hopefully i can get more detail and precision. if you want to see more of my nail art follow me on instagram @s4rrie

Do you have any designs you think i should try?

studded shorts




10 points for crappy lighting! didn't really like this enough for lookbook.
top- American Apparel
Shorts- Cream
lilac stockings- equip
spotted docs- doc marten

can i just say i'm loving my lipstick in this pic!!! i've been blotting it on in layers instead of swiping it on in copious amounts :P it also lasts longer than usual.

so i'm kind of in love with this skirt!!! mainly because its the only black skirt i own that seems to go with my clothes :/
also im kind of obsessed with crop tops!! i need to improve my self esteem though so i can wear them all the time ;D i just love rocking high waisted things with crop tops! i can't wait to pull these looks all summer long ;)

what are you guys wearing on the other side of the world? i need some summer inspiration ;)

Where the wild things are.




So this was the first decent picture i took of my new lilac hair ;) i'm in love with it! Only problem in it's a bitch to upkeep coz i have to dye it every week >.< also i apologise for the grainy-ness of these pics. the lighting wasn't on my side that day :(

Anyway i'm absolutely in loveeeee with pastels and the whole 'romantic' look of skirts and headbands. it's like everyday is a glorious wonderland tea-party!!! to achieve this look you only really need some basics like skirts and flowy, button down tops then you can accessorise with flowers and pastels.

If you're thinking of joining in on the pastel hair brigade just remember a few things:
to get my hair light enough i had to bleach it TWICE! using the strongest available bleach. it will burn the crap out of you skull so make sure you get it done by a PROFESSIONAL! also because the ends of my hair were previously bleached(twice) they turned to straw and i had to lop it all off. hence why my hair is so short :P my hair use to sit just above the pocket of that shirt! so just be weary! also if you dye your hair frequently with dark colours don't bother trying for pastel hair. the dark hair dye will stain your hair and you will not be able to bleach it light enough. your hair will turn orange and it wont stick. trust me this happened to my friend and sister. its best to try on your natural hair colour so try to grow it out first :)

Ps. The jumper is from cotton on. it wasn't featured in my lookbook post :)








This is an outfit i wore a while back to go clubbing ;) i don't go clubbing often, especially in winter coz i'm a big nanna that goes to bed at midnight :P but i paid a crap load for my blackmilk suspender tights so i want to get some wear out of them. i find them a little too risqué for day time wear. doesn't help that when i wore them out some guys yelled from their car and said 'keep that shit at home, bitch!' bitches be jealous ;) ps. this was the 2nd time i got to wear my spiked litas!!! they're too perfect and beautiful! i wish i had more chances to wear them!

grunge






So grunge is coming back into style and I'm in love!! i bought some black T.U.K swede creepers and they are by far my favourite shoe!! they literally go with EVERYTHING! so if you're contemplating getting a pair DO ITTTTTTT!!! you wont regret it! mine were $85 from amazon, including shipping. you could probably shop around and get them cheaper.

My grunge staples:
slouch beanies
over sized button up shirts
denim
CREEPERSSSS
round sunnies
loads of crosses

just a reminder these are the pieces i like to rock when i'm trying to make a grunge themed outfit. whatever you classify grunge as is up to you :)







So if you didn't already know i want to become a stylist. i thought it would be a great idea to apply for a  personal shopper position as i already do plenty of one-on-one customer service in my current job. there was one going for the topshop that will be opening in Sydney in october, they asked for a topshop inspired outfit and this is what i came up with! :) unfortunately i didn't get the job (obviously haha)

this outfit shows pretty much all my obsessions! denim, docs, red lippy and blackmilk ;)

another love of mine, the blackmilk rib swim! it costs $90 but it was well worth it! not only does it look smoking and photograph well, but its also a bathing suit! unfortunately i got it after beach season so i haven't tested it in the water yet but i'm keen to try it out! it also looks super cute with denim cut offs or high waisted pants. i want to try rocking it with my new DISCO PANTSSSSS!!! i finally caved and paid full price for them! hoping to take pictures on the weekend!




This is by far one of my favourite looks! i adore my american apparel leotard! only problem is i don't feel too comfortable wearing it during the day. the first time i wore it was when i bought it in hawaii and i just teamed it with some black denim cut-offs and some guy walked past me and seedily said 'aaalohaaaaa' so i haven't really worn it out during the day :P at least when i rock this baby at night i'm trying to be sexy so all the male attention is self provoked ;)

when i first bought this i think i was a bit scared that it was too revealing. i use to be a really conservative dresser (still am a little) but now that i've become more self assured in my style i can see that its so chic and classically beautiful. i wear it to feel sexy and i feel that it achieves that but also still looks classy. especially when i team it with my maxi skirt ;)

what do you guys think? is it sexy AND classy?

Haul video!

while i'm getting my shit together you can check out my 1st haul video!!!! i'm planning on doing another now that some of my online shopping is rolling in ;)

Photo backlog!!

so i have a few million (this may be an exaggeration) pics on my computer from when i started lookbook. i wanted to upload them here as a bit of an archive where i can also post more then one picture, seeing as i hate cropping my photos with a fiery vengeance!! i'll be just casually posting them as i go along :P hopefully i can stop being a lazy git and maybe take new pictures for lookbook today *fingers crossed*

PONIES





so this outfit was mainly bought on my overseas trip. i absolutely adored shopping in america! forever 21 was my most favourite of stores. the shorts and shoes i'm wearing were purchased there. my top is from cotton on (you'll hear a lot about them!) and my belt was purchased in Edinburgh i think the store had 'new' in the name. i have no clue. i love this outfit but since i've been on the grunge band wagon i haven't worn it in ages! i miss my pony belt!

hello internet :)

hello my lovelies ;) welcome to my first blog post! i've decided it would be totally rad to create a personal style blog. a place where i can document all the crazy things i buy/make and how i put them together in an outfit. i've known for a while now that i've wanted a career in fashion styling and i'm trying to make my dreams into a reality!!

the kinds of things i want to parade on this blog include:
-outfit posts/lookbook posts
- haul/review videos
-to do/buy lists of trends and items
- anything at all thats to do with fashion or shows me rockin' a smokin' outfit ;)

im insanely new to blogger so if you have any advice i'd love to hear it! ENJOY MY WEIRDNESS!!!
