They were pretty dodgy because I didn’t leave them to dry enough before the top coat but they did the job!

And my outfit from the day…

Dress- Some store at Harbour Town the other day, on sale for $15!

Stockings- Myer, previously white but my washing machine turned them pink XD

Cardigan- Ice, on sale at Harbour Town 3 for $10 :D

Shoes- Can’t remember, I added the shoe clips

Necklace/Bracelet- Gift from the lovely Casey!

Brooch- Amaranth Opulent

Bonus photo:

Look at the epically huge rice crispy square I made XD It was actually several smaller squares but it melted in the container into one massive one!

The first day I wore it out:

I have to say I absolutely LOVE it. Couldn’t be happier with the result and I think it’s really me! I didn’t lose much length but it’s made it so much more manageable and healthy.

I think the cut is so much more versatile now and I’ve already been able to try a lot of new styles to wear so I’m very happy ^_^ It also means I’ve been able to wear curls all day just from pin curling over night so that is a massive improvement too. Also it’s majorly bouncy so I feel like I’m in a Pantine commercial every where I go now XD

The back:

And lastly, here is a bonus pic of me having myself a Farrah Fawcett moment in front of a display fan while we were out shopping XD

So many of my friends are having total hair make overs at the moment, it’s really exciting! What are you all planning to do with your hair next?

Dress: Vintage birthday gift from Super Kawaii Mama.
Cardigan: Can’t remember

Nordic dress: Alley
Skirt: Two thrift skirts sewn together
Bow belt: Angel’s Style Scrapbook

Bow: Btssb present from The Fashionate Traveller

Tonight I’m going to put up a new header banner I’ve been working on! Hope you all like it ^_^

Outfit rundown:

• Dress- Handmade (this was what I wore to the Nuffnang Blogger Awards last year!)
• Cardigan- Myer
• Boots- Target (customized by me!)
• Necklace- Little Waltz
• Hair Accessories- Rose pins made by me and bow from some $2 store.

Now onto website things ^_^ I’ve been tinkering with the site today a bit and making things easier to navigate. I’m hoping this will make it easier for you all to find what you’re looking for and easier for me to update it quickly.

So in the top links section you will now find that I’ve combined the “Violet Vision” and “Snapshots” pages into one to make it easier to find whatever media you want. I have also added a “Store” link which will take you to the nail art store! I am hoping to update the store this week with a lot of deco projects I’ve been working on so stay tuned there.

Probably most importantly I have re-arranged the “Tutorials” page. Before it was quite difficult to navigate and update but now everything is sorted into categories and in gallery form. This should make it a little easier for everyone and I’ll be able to keep it more current!

I’ve also updated the “About” page. A lot of people have been asking for my Facebook lately so all of that information is there now as well as other social networks you might want to add me on! A while ago I added “Like” buttons at the top of all of the posts too which is pretty fun!

*edit* Oh I completely forgot! I also added the feature so you guys can have avatars in the comments, if you want one you just need to register at Gravatars. Even cooler, I’m trialing CommentLuv. Basically it means that if you have a blog it will automatically link your latest post! Cool huh? I’ve heard that this might slow the site down a bit so just trialing and seeing how it goes. I want to give you guys some blog love though since you’re nice enough to come visit mine!! Let me know what you think! */edit*

Hope you’re all having a great day and let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions on how I could make the site easier for you to use!

Stockings- Myer

Shoes- Payless modified by me

This one was a bit more dressy, I can’t remember what we were doing that way but I think maybe it was something glamorous like grocery shopping? XD

Dress- Angelic Pretty

Cardigan- Myer (I think?)

Stockings- Myer

Shoes- Wittner, modified by me

Scarf- Hand knitted by me

As per usual my favorite thing about the outfit is my nails :D

It’s just a simple 3 colour gradient but I love it! I’ve had requests for a tutorial on this too.

I like them because they are quite understated usually but when they get in the sun they are crazy shiny!

I’ve been experimenting with new hair styles too :D This is my favorite so far…

I think it looks quite complicated but it’s really easy to do, I’m going to take photos for a tutorial on this tomorrow :D

I think I want to make a whole more of these rose pins too, time for a trip to a craft store for more outfits :D

While it’s not a look that I would probably wear again, creating it was really good practice and I learned more about blending make up. Practice makes perfect right? ^_^

My favorite part of the outfit:

I love shoes with bows on the back!

Do you girls like trying new things and pushing your comfort zones or do you tend to find yourselves in the same style rut with outfits?
