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.

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

Outfit of the day # 6


Blazer: Glasson, purchased in New Zealand 
Oversized Boho dress: Ebay
Scarf: City beach
Clogs: Melbourne
Belt: Lotus Belt from Trade Secret


Details of the belt and the scarf :)


Can't believe it's almost the end of May, and soon it will be uni break! I have been really busy with uni stuffs. I just finished a Japanese presentation today. And I still have one more Presentation & 1 more assignment, then I will have to wait till 25th June to do my only exam..and in fact that is the last day of the exam period. (kinda sucks) Anyway, I have been trying to wear more bright/pastel colours for winter, and this is an outfit I put together. I actually bought that dress a year ago on ebay and at the time when I tried it on, I thought it looked really weird (too big) on me so I haven never worn it until yesterday! However, since the material is so light and it was so windy...I had to keep holding down my dress so I won't flash anyone. 

Anyway, Thanks so much for all your comments :) They make me smile!! 
I hope you have a wonderful day. 

真不敢相信轉眼間已經是五月底了,我也很快就要放一個月的假期了。最近學校真的很忙今天才完成了一份日文的小組口試報告,明天又有一個個人的報告!真是閒不下來,不過想到快要放假了就很開心呀! 這件洋裝我買了一年多都沒穿過,當時是在ebay上買的總覺得穿起來很怪且顯胖。直到昨天我決定穿他!不過因為這件洋裝的質料太薄了加上風很大,洋裝一直飛起來所以我都要一直拉他避免曝光。雖然這裡是冬天但我想嘗試穿亮色系和淺色系的衣服:)

And this is me pulling a fake smile ;)

I wore Mac Viva Glam Cyndi Lauper lipstick. :3

Outfit of the day # 5 Galaxy


Denim shirt dress: G.M,  Leggings: Black Milk, Faux Furry hat: Dangerfield, Studded bag: Dangerfield, Black Oxfords: G.M

It was so cold today!! Getting up early to go to my Japanese tuition was a torture this morning, cold & tired = No Good :o but I managed to catch up on some sleep after my tut. I actually wore a parka with this outfit, but took it off since it's pretty warm in my place. My boyfriend bought me this furry pom pom hat few weeks ago at Myer and I really love it <3. I have been wanting a hat like that for a while and I finally have one! I feel like an Eskimo when I wear it! :3 

I apologize for the lack of smile in the photos above ... I do not know what happened :P I swear I was smiling when the photos were taken. Promise I will try harder next time. 

I am so happy that my hair is getting longer! 




Outfit of the day # 4 Bright Bright

 


Blouse & Coral Jumper, 'Nobody' loose fit jeans all from G.M  

It has been getting colder and colder everyday here in Australia!! What I love about winter is being able to wear so many layers (?) and snuggle in my bed. What I don't love about winter is: getting out of shower and waking up in early mornings! I love the fact that I can finally wear my winter clothes though! I have been into bright and pastel colours these days, this jumper is probably the brightest piece of clothing that I have. I wore this outfit to uni yesterday. My only concern is that maybe having my outfit taken on my bed was not a good idea. It kind of made my legs look short, and I wish that my jeans are a tighter fit..but they are so comfy!! I wore a pair of black oxford shoes when I went to uni.

I was meant to make this outfit post yesterday, but for some reasons I couldn't post...the composing section of my blog just kept refreshing and couldn't load :|. Anyway, I hope you all have a great week!! Time to study for my test tomorrow & hi to a hectic week. xo
