Mint is the colour of the day!

Haven't blogged in awhile, but the good news is the weather is looking up in Melbourne! (for today...)
Here's my lovely Wednesday wondering around Melbourne with my uni friends
There was this awesome flower shop just inside Myer that had these amazing decorations with hanging baubles and little bird cages with live plants. Definitely getting ideas for when I move out!

Royal Arcade and thelunch at Fathers Office

Christmas is actually the best time of the year, I love Christmas decorations! Royal Arcade, down Bourke Street was rather scenic and really put you in a Christmas-y mood. The second picture was where we had lunch, at Father's Office which was a really old-school American style bar with barrels for tables and really amazing wallpaper. They also have all you can eat buffalo wings on Wednesday nights after 5pm! I think I'll be back for them one day!

Sinead and Issy at the Laurent Boulangerie Patisserie

So after walking into a few too many shoe shops and having no luck with my shoe size, we went to Laurent Boulangerie Patisserie for coffee. This Patisserie is a really French cafe with a really lovely range of cakes and pastry. We ordered Iced Chocolate and also Chocolate Mousse, it was a nice place to finish off our shopping trip :)

Hope you're having a really great Summer or Winter.... :)

Hurts Like Heaven

Isn't Chris Martin just beautiful? ❤

ohmyGawwwwwwwwwwrdddddddddd! I can not express how much more I appreciate Coldplay now that I've seen them live! So anyway Coldplay came to Melbourne for their Mylo Zyloto tour on Tuesday night and they played in the biggest stadium Melbourne has to offer, Etihad (well. besides MGC). The night was MAGICAL! I won't spoil it too much for you incase you're planning to see them soon, but a tip would be don't look up for too long.... LOL. Pretty much when we bought tickets to the Coldplay concert in May I was set on making DIY shirts for it. So here's my galaxy print Coldplay shirt! :)

  Materials:

Plain Black singlets (Kmart, $4)

White acrylic paint

Galaxy coloured acrylic paint (I bought Teal, Purple and Blue)

Sponges

Peel and Stick sheets

Marker Pen

Stanley Knife

Scissors

Here's my COLDPLAY design I cut out of the Peel and Stick sheets, before putting it in place on the shirt. TIP: make sure the shirt is on a flat surface with no creases before you peel and stick!!

Using the white acrylic paint I went over the design with a sponge. This is really important if you want your colours to been seen. TIP: put a sheet of paper or plastic in between the shirt so the paint doesn't seep through to the back.

Using different sponges, alternate between the colours to achieve a well-blended galaxy design. TIP: Start with darker colours first, lighter colours are much easier to blend into darker ones.

After finishing my print, I completely improvised and put some white flecks on the shirts. I've seen some blogs do this with toothbrushes ahah

Then I let it dry in the sun and peel! Voila!

I made these in an hour before I was suppose to leave for the concert....but I think they turned out pretty good :D now I shall leave you with this picture of fireworks that may or may not have been from the concert ;P

This is Halloween!

Opps its a bit past Halloween... But for Halloween we actually decided to celebrate this year (I think it was just an excuse to go out since we don't actually celebrate Halloween in Australia, but still a good one)!! I think it was more fun dressing up and taking photos than the actual Halloween event we went to ahah.
Introducing the Girls of Gotham City Sirens 

Poison Ivy, Catwomen and Harley Quinn @ Alumbra Nightclub

Our inspiration photo above! We had a Bat Girl, however unfortunately she had to pull out last minute, so it ended up just being the three!

Me as Catwomen, Chloe as Harley Quinn, Michelle and Poison Ivy

There isn't too much you can do with a Catwomen costume other than buy a leather onesuit, however Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy both made their costumes with obviously a lot of time and effort! They looked smashing and received a lot of compliments when we were roaming around Melbourne at night! OH also check out Chloe's blog post for more Halloween fun!

Hope you had a Happy Halloween and your house didn't get egg-ed! Check out Jimmy Kimmel's Halloween Challenge "I Told My Kids I Ate Their Halloween Candy Again" 2012! Its pretty cute! ;)
