Outfit of the day #8 Op shopping

Jumper & shorts from korean online shop, beret hat from Myer, black winter tights from Taiwan, turquoise necklace and bracelet from UQ market day

I have been wearing my beret hat a lot these days, it's so warm and matches with a lot of my winter outfits. I bought this rug looking jumper from online korean clothing shop during summer, I instantly fell in love with it when I first saw it. The necklace & the bracelet are my favourite accessories at the moment. I Love turquoise! It instantly brightens up my outfit...(it sounds like I am reviewing a beauty product or something, ha)

Anyway, I wore this outfit yesterday when I went op shopping with Samie. I hope you like it! Let me know your thoughts! By the way, I went whale watching with my boyfriend today, it was very relaxing and the weather was perfect! I will make a post about this tomorrow.

my dear friend Samie and I :)

Samie looks so cute. She bought the polka dot skirt when we went op shopping

Vintage Shopping Trip *pic heavy*

It has been a while since I went thrifting, but it's really because buying  good vintage pieces here in QLD are actually pretty expensive, especially because I LOVE vintage dresses..and when i find good vintage dresses they usually cost around $30+AUD, which can be quite expensive.

Anyway, I have been staying on Gold Coast since my uni holiday started. Yesterday when I went to my friend's place, we couldn't decide what to do and where to go because we have been to most of the places that we could think of during the past few weeks (major shopping malls, surfers paradise) -.- While we were having a hard time thinking of what to do, I suddenly remembered there is a street in the surburb with a few op shops, so we quickly decided to go there. I really don't know if it was a good decision because I ended up buying a lot, although I didn't spend a lot in total! I carried all my purchases in the magazine holder that I got.

Anyway, I thought I would share with you my haul from my yesterday's shopping trip!

*Picture Heavy!!*

 magazine holder, blouse, trousers, dresses, sweaters

I bought this pair of trousers from the first op shop that I went to and instantly fell in love with it. I love the colour and the fabric. 

I Love the floral patterns and the colour combination of this jumper, it's long enough to be worn as a dress.

Pretty details!

I love the collar of this blouse and the silk-ish fabric & it's print :)

the collar is pretty fancy, I am thinking of wearing this blouse with a high waisted skirt

This is a short sleeve maxi dress (?) It had the most interesting iron-on zebra patches.

Just FYI, I didn't know the word for 'iron-on patches' in English so I had to google it.

I think I bought this dress because of the zebras, haha.

After buying all those above pieces from the second shop that I went to, I didn't know if I should buy this sweater after buying all of the others. My reason of hesitation was because the sweater was a bit big for me esp. the shoulders. I guess I just couldn't resist the rose collars!!

Love the crochet roses. The fabric is sparkly :P

Found this cardigan at the 3rd shop that I went to, instantly fell in love with the colour and the flowers!

I am a freak of taking photos of details. lol

Black velvet dress!! The weather was pretty warm yesterday, esp. that we walked heaps. I don't know why..but this dress's fabric is so cool. It was really comfortable (!)

probably will wear this dress with black tights and a pair of mary janes.

Finally and lastly, I bought this tapestry magazine holder for $6! Maybe it was a bit of an impulse buy. Samie spotted it, and told me to buy it...and I thought ummm..maybe I do need a magazine holders!!

Thanks for reading!

Outfit of the day # 7 Ramen yum yum

I am still on swotvac week... knowing that I have only one exam I feel very lazy! It's even on the last day of the swotvac week. I suppose the teacher thought that she would be kind and give us more time to study. Anyway, I recently purchased a vintage floral dress on ebay & a pair of boots from Minty loves munt and I decided to wear it to lunch. For lunch, boyfriend and I went to a Japanese ramen cafe for some ramen(duh). We both ordered tonkatsu ramen. It was yummy.

The dress :) The colour is off-white with floral patterns 

Mocassin wedge. Love Love this pair of boots. I am not used to wearing high heels, so my feet hurt a bit after I wore them out. 

Vintage dress from ebay. knitted vest from Melbourne, mustard poncho/cape from ASOS, Minty loves munt moccasin boots. 

yum yum!

bf loves it! :)

Dip Dye

I have been so fascinated with dip dye hair& ombre hair. I am waiting for my hair to grow longer, and I prob will get it dip dyed when I go to Taiwan end of this year :)  I think i am going to have white, pink, and blue or purple on the ends.
I also have been using Tumblr for inspirations. Here are a few that I liked, and think they will work on my hair's natural colour(black):P

 This is a more subtle dip dye

I think this is probably my favorite colour transition

最近dip dye很流行 好多model和明星的頭髮都是dip dye和ombre hair,我個人很喜歡,尤其是特殊色!!我染髮到目前為止只有染過earth tone,所以真的很想嘗試染特殊色,但我現在想要先把頭髮留長一點等到回台灣在染。不過大概也要等到過年後了吧!!(8年沒在台灣過年)因為我媽說我染特殊色去跟爺爺過年一定會被唸的...不知道為什麼老一輩的人就比較不能接受'鮮豔'的顏色在頭髮上呢?我爸媽是還好大概被我洗腦了吧!!

Outfit of the day # Open Day

I went to the open day of the make up academy that I want to study at with my friend. It was so cool. The trainers from the academy demonstrated a few types of make up, special effects, glamour, air brush. I particularly liked the special effect demo, as it was really interesting!! I really can't wait to study there next year! I decided to wear bright colours today! Here are a few photos of my outfit. I really wish that I have a backyard, so I can take outfit photos with pretty backgrounds although I do enjoy living in an apartment. Apartment is good for lazy people like me, it's only a small area to clean!!

 This is the bracelet that I bought in the markets on the last post that I mentioned. 

JUNE 03

I have been feeling very positively recently. I enquired about the make up diploma I am planning to do start of next year. The girls that works at the Academy were very nice, it made me more excited about next year!! I seriously can not wait to start learning about make up, although I worked out how much it's going to cost..it's gonna cost about $10000AUD just to start off. I really hope I will enjoy it, and I am sure I will! I really hope it's all going to work out. :)

Today is the last day of semester 1 for me at uni, and next week it will be swotvac week. I only have 1 exam, and it's scheduled on the last day of the exam week, which is :[ but I guess I can relaxed for a bit!

Yesterday at my uni's market day, I talked to a lady that designs and sells jewellery. Her designs are amazing!! I ended up having a nice long chat with her, and bought two pieces from her. I bought a turqouise beaded braclet with a cross pendant on it. When I was choosing between all the amazing bracelets with different pendants she explained to me the meanings of the pendants(the pendants had symbols of guardian Angels..etc) then she let me choose whichever pendant I liked and offered to change them with the pendant that was already on the bracelet. I thought it was really nice of her. Then we talked about the recently news of how cattles were cruely killed in indonesia. She told me when the news was on the TV, and it was about to show the worst part, her remote broke and she couldn't change the channel and were cover her eyes and screaming. I could imagine how awful it would have been. My boyfriend sent me the link to watch the clip, but I was too scared to watch. Anyway, Chrissa(the lady's name) told me she wrote an complaint email to the dep of argiculture after she watched it, hoping they could do something about it. Then we continued on topics about being a vegetarian. She has been vegetarian for almost two years now. I always admire people with Vegetarian diets. I, myself had been 'trying' and it obviously did not succeed as I always forget easily the reason why I wanted to become a Vegetarian. My mum has been an vegetarian for a while now, and she is quite happy. I guess it's also because she is a good cook. If I were to become a Vegetarian I would be running out ideas on what to cook! I will probably be eating vegetarian udon all the time..

Anyway, Chrissa also told me about how she started the business, which was interesting! I hope one day I can start a small business as well.

It's really interesting how life lead you to meet different kinds of interesting people and things.

& what I have been thinking more and more recently is to do what you love. And what makes you happy. Chase after your dream.

P.S I apologize if it's hard to read what I typed. It's now 1:07am here in Australia, and I am a little bit sleepy :P
