Totes in the bag!

Sorry about the shit-title humour, I felt like I should show some wit ahah
Today I got mail from Socety6.com, which has some of the coolest designs for a range of hoodies, jumpers, t-shirts, iPhone cases and tote bags! And so I decided to do a post on my tote bag collection! I only like carrying around tote bags to uni, so you won't find any backpacks in my wardrobe ahah. These ones are my most used, I do own a couple more. Sorry about the lighting in some of the pictures, I relied on natural light coming into my room and it was a pretty cloudy day... You really can't rely on the weather in Melbourne.

Totoro design! Isn't it cute!!

 I got this Totoro tote bag with the cool nature designed in the shape of Totoro from Society6, and WOW was I surprised by the size of this thing. Its the biggest tote bag I have, measuring at 13.5" x 15.5" so I think I'll use this one during the study period and maybe as a beach bag, although its way too nice for a beach bag!!

High Wheeler tote from etsy.com

This High-wheeler or Penny-Farthing tote bag was a must buy for me, SA cute! I got it from etsy.com and I mostly use this one when I go to work! Not much to say about this one, so let's move on!

A tote bag for my 19th birthday present

For my 19th birthday at the start of year, I received this really lovely gift from the girls! They actually painted this tote bag for me in this really amazing dark green (even though it looks black in the picture) and the design is so great! They also sewed this cute little watering-kettle button on the corner because "I like gardening so much" ahah. I majorly love love love this bag, it has a lot of value in it! I use this bag mostly for sleep-overs because its big enough to fit everything :)
 

Keep Calm and Expecto Patronum from etsy.com

Here's an action/model shot of me and my HPϟ oriented tote bag taken by Chloe! So fitting because we were on the way to the Harry Potter Exhibition in Sydney! In case you aren't a HP fanatic, Expecto-Patronum is the spell Harry uses when casting away Dementors that can only be conjured by really powerful wizards with really really happy thoughts, and the stag is Harry's Patronum :) This is really the ultimate tote bag any HP fan could ask for :P

I'm done with Second-year semester-two uni! So expect more posts about my Summer! ❤❤❤

Outfit of the Day: Three Shades of Pink

Outfit for a smart casual dinner in the City with the docks in the background***

50 Shades of Grey; Three Shades of Pink, get it?! ahaha  I am so funny. Okay I'm really sorry about my lame jokes. So yesterday was my high school friend's 20th birthday dinner down in Docklands. We went to eat Italian at Renzo's Bar Cafè Italiano which had some fantastic food and lovely service, obviously overpriced for pasta and pizza but the company definitely made up for it, plus we got free desert (what a bonus!)!! My mother made me change about five times, 10 minutes before I was suppose to leave which I must say happens way to often, but this is what I ended up rushing out of the house out with.

Please share some of your OOTDs with me! :)

Shameless plug

My friends are so cute! We all like love doing DIY projects and some times DIY projects are just good enough to sell! So here's a shameless plug for my dear friend Kellen's etsy store, Corns And Calluses.
I say shameless because I'm actually SO in awe of how she can be bothered making them, selling them and still being so cute about them whilst also having two/three part time jobs and doing an engineering degree...
So here's a few pictures of my wallet made by hers truly:

Left: Back, Centre: Open, Right: Front

 These are laminated paper wallets that are exceptionally durable and "splash proof", plus they can fit a lot of stuff in them! Really handy for on-the-go outings, quick trips to the milk bar, occasions that don't require bags and for those who don't like carrying big chunky purses. It'll fit comfortably in a jean or jacket pocket and they come in all different cute patterns!!

It also comes in a care package with its own personal box, instructions and a business card.

Things that can fit in my wallet

Okay, so obviously I am an excessive card carrier... but you really never know what you'll need until the time comes! Total of: 11 plastic cards, 2 polaroids, 3 sets of bandaids and $4.
If you have any questions, check out her blogspot post all about them!
She just restocked her store, so get it on it!! :)

What do you think of these cute DIY wallets?

You may say I'm a dreamer...

...but others have called me "outgoing". I think I just like dressing up!

Left: Pikachu outfit I made for Staff Party, Centre: Bellatrix Lestrange for Harry Potter Mid-Night Screening, Right: My Totoro Onsie

Left: Lady Gaga inspired dress up ft Beyonce on the left, Right: Hit Girl

I've had many occasions where I've had the opportunity to be really creative with costumes on a budget!

Pikachu outfit: I bought a $5 plain yellow dress from the Carribean market and stuck some sticky felt on the back for stripes, made a tail out of cardboard and put it on a belt I already had. The best part was making the Pikachu hat!! This clip shows you exactly how to make it and she is super cute!

Bellatrix Lestrange: Midnight screening of Harry Potter Part 2?! OF COURSE I had to dress up! Easily enough Bellatrix' gothic look involved a long black formal dress I wore to the Scotch formal and a corset over the top, I also put on a crop shawl thing and people actually asked for my picture during the night haha. Using mostly blacks, greys and dark red for the lips, the craziest fun was frizzing/curling my hair! This clip by audfaced was definitely an inspiration and her other clips are AMAZING!

Totoro: Incase you don't recognise this furry happy face, it is from Studio Ghibli's My Neighbour Totoro! This film is so great, if you haven't already seen it it is a must watch! Okay, so I didn't DIY this onsie, but actually bought it off ebay... My sewing skills aren't that amazing and I haven't figured out how to use my sewing machine yet....(I can use one, just not my one...LOL). Still, if you haven't invested in an adult onsie yet, I really think you should! They're so comfy!

Lady Gaga ϟ: Half way though my outfit I think I couldn't be bothered committing to the whole Lady Gaga theme, thus my hair is pretty normal. I've had this velvet DIY L.B.D. from ages ago, but never had an occasion to wear it out! So I added a Mickey Mouse belt, a tulle under the skirt and went all out with bottom lashes for my make up!

Hit Girl: This was for Athletics sports back in 2010, I'd just seen the movie Kick Ass and Chloe Moretz was the coolest young actor on the block! With a few added touches, I kept the bases of her outfit; the purple wig, mask, cape, belt with HG (...could now also stand for Hunger Games...) but added the overly-large bow I stole from a friend on the day and the tulle skirt.

Halloweens is coming up, not to mention Christmas and New Years! More dress up's on the way! Keep Tuned!!

What's your favourite costume you've worn?? :D

First Post! The post that hurts the most!

My first post! AH MA GAAAAAAARRD!
So I decided to start a blog because I needed to keep my hands busy and distract myself from uni stress... but really I enjoy posting irrelevant information on the internet in hopes that maybe one day at least one person in the world will read it. I'm not so fussed though.
Here's a picture of my neighbours chicken roaming in my garden!

I named it Benny

  Welcome to my blog, stick around if you please - I promise it'll get more interesting (maybe)!
