Yay it's the weekend! What are your plans? Tomorrow I'm going to Hamilton to see Westside Story which is going to be awesome! I'm a bit of a fan of anything Romeo-and-Juliet-esque... Oh and I'm not eating for 40 hours. It's the World Vision 40 Hour Famine this weekend, so I really encourage you to check out their website for more details and even donate to their really good cause! I believe they are such a trustworthy organisation and I've had experience through them when I went to Cambodia to see my sponsored child. I guess it makes everything so much more real when you experience their poverty for yourself... So it would be so great if you could get behind this cause!

On another note, some inspiration for the weekend for you:

POLYVORE:ABBEY LEE KERSHAW

outfit



I couldn't help but share this Polyvore set with you. It is absolutely perfectly styled! I love the pastel and cream tones and those SHOES! Abbey Lee is such an inspiration in terms of styling. She can pull off pretty much every look but I have to say that her girlyer looks are my favourite...

INSPIRATION/BALL MAKEUP

So much a time is wasted scouring the internet for inspiration for the upcoming balls. Shoes, dresses, jewellery, hair and of course make up! Is it sad to admit that I have a folder just dedicated to all things materialistic regarding the ball...? Most likely. But what is a blog for if you can't unleash all your wants and needs(?) Well to the point of this post... I have now found a dress for the boys high ball (not sure if I've told you that or not?) which is great because I'm borrowing it off my best friend's sister. It was her bridesmaids dress and I'm so lucky that I fit it! Well kind of... Some alterations may be needed. Anyway, it's a navy blue lace dress and I was thinking a red lip and liquid eye liner would look rather nice with it... What do you think? Well since I have quite olive skin, a shade between the two above would look better on me. Ho hum...

PHOTO DIARY: WINDY WELLINGTON

Saturday, May 21, 2011


I took virtually no photos on my trip away since in most places, we weren't allowed to... And in my free time I was mission shopping, helping my friends find ball dresses since I now have both of mine! But here's a small medley anyway...

30 DAY CHALLENGE: A PICTURE OF YOU AND THE PERSON YOU HAVE BEEN CLOSEST WITH THE LONGEST

Monday, May 16, 2011


Introducing my best friend of 11 years, Alex! We are pretty much the same person apart from how we look (obviously)... We get along so well and have the same weird sense of humour that no one else really gets haha. We just have too much fun when we are together! It's sad but she lives in Australia and I live in NZ but we always stay in touch and manage to see each other at least twice a year.

SHADOWS


I thought these looked pretty cool in black and white and with the really distinctive shadows. I was cracking up at the first one for ages because just as the photo was being taken, a massive gust of wind came and blew my skirt up! Lucky that it wasn't taken half a second later though...

I'm off to Wellington tomorrow! I'm going there on a school technology trip and it sounds like it's going to be a pretty fun trip. Plus we get some time to go shopping yay! I'll try and take lots of photos to share with you when I'm back. Have a good week my darlings! Xx

EDITORIALS-"BLOUSES AND BLAZERS"

Saturday, May 7, 2011


I think the photos can pretty much speak for themselves... Such effortless styling which looks just perfect. I prefer editorials that aren't too over the top and where you can actually see the clothes that the models are wearing.

PRINCESS POLLY

Friday, May 6, 2011




I've just discovered the most amazing online shop! Everyone has been talking about ball dresses and where they are buying them from etc. Well, one of the girls in my class bought her dress from an Australian store called Princess Polly and after looking at it, I looked around their online shop and found all these cool clothes that I wish I could buy! These are just a few of my favourite... To be honest, I wish I could buy the whole shop haha...

BALL DRESSES- "LACE VS. CHIFFON"

Wednesday, May 4, 2011


Yes, ball season is coming up! I've already had my school ball dress tailor made in Cambodia and I'm really happy how it turned out! Can't wait for the night when I can see everyone dressed up... Now I'm on the hunt for a second dress for the boys high ball. I went to Hamilton to look for one but no such luck. They were either really tacky or extremely expensive! So I've been looking on the Topshop website and came across these four dresses that I took a liking to. I want something quite different to my other dress and these ones seem to fit the mould...

So... I would really appreciate it if you commented telling me what one you like the most out of these. Personally, I'm quite liking the last black one... It would look really nice with a red lip I'm thinking...

Thanks!

HORCHATA

Sunday, May 1, 2011


So I'm back home after my holiday! Kind of wish that holidays lasted forever because I'm so not keen to get back to school tomorrow... As per usual, I have left all of my homework to the last day of the hols... 

Well, I went to my family's beach house with a friend this week and it was so good just to relax and do nothing for once! There was a cute little vintage shop which we spent AGES in, just looking at all of the little trinkets and clothes. I couldn't help but take some pictures but they didn't come out very well due to the store keeper looking at me suspiciously... Also, went to a cafe and bought a horchata. We were rather curious to what it actually was... Apparently it is a "Spanish latte", or was it mexican? Can't remember now. But anyway, it reminded me of the Vampire Weekend song called Horchata

Urgh... now back to homework...
