Ok clearly I haven’t been cam-whoring enough lately because you girls have actually been asking for outfit photos! I suppose I have been doing a lot of crafts

I think it’s because I’m trying to use up a lot of my supplies before we move so I don’t have to bring them with me!

So a couple of weeks ago Nuffnang threw James and I a going-away party

This was my outfit for the night…

I hope you weren’t too distracted from the outfit by the hideous carpet!

Outfit details:

Shirt- Nuffnang- “I’m famous in the blogosphere”- modified by me
Skirt- Vintage from Blue Velvet Vintage
Shoes- Bodyline
Stockings- Myer
Bow- Made by me
Jewelery- random

Heehee I made a new hair bow from the left overs of the Nuffnang shirt, it says “We <3 Bloggers”!

Of course it was a fairly small turn out because for some reason Brisbane bloggers don’t like hanging out! We had a blast though! Below left to right is Wouter, me, Tash and James is taking the photo.

I’ve been trying to take more effort with my make up lately too and try out looks I wouldn’t normally wear. The next day I tried out this purple/pink eyeshadow combination and I really like it!

I’m loving anything with glitter in it at the moment ^_^

I’m wearing my green lenses here. I love how much they contrast!

And one without the flash to show the sparkles:

The biggest news I have today is that in 10 days James and I are moving down to Melbourne! EXCITING!

What this means is that for the week leading up to leaving and the week we get there I am going to be crazy busy trying to find an apartment and setting everything up there. I’m still going to be posting as usual and I’ll schedule posts for when we’re driving down but it means I won’t be able to reply to comments and emails as quickly as I do now because we won’t have as stable internet.

Don’t worry I promise I will answer every single comment and email eventually, it will just take me a little while!

It’s a really big move for us and hopefully it will lead to lots and lots of really exciting things in the future so please bear with me for now! We are driving all the way down so I’ll bet there are going to be lots of silly road trip photos and videos for you soon

Have you guys ever moved city before?

So you might have read all about Sneaker Sunday last week, if not go and have a look here to see what all the fuss is about!!

A lot of you wanted some tips and ideas for what to wear sneakers with… so for week two we wanted to give you some co-ordination ideas

*edit* Disclaimer- Just wanted to point out that a lot of these shoes are from YesStyle who currently have an advertisement on the sidebar of my blog via Nuffnang, I wrote this post long before I knew I was getting ads from YesStyle so please don’t think this is a sponsored post because it’s not! I just happen to love a whole lot of stuff from there because it’s cute!*/edit*

Sneaker Sunday Co-ordination ideas!

Today I want to focus on wearing cute, comfortable shoes to more dressy events or just dressed up enough for a day out on the town! Sneakers are great but they aren’t appropriate for some events.

Shoe 1: Lady Bug Flats

These are completely adorable. Because they are shiny they can either be a nice statement piece or as part of a bright outfit like the one I put together below. I would wear this to a nice night out.

http://www.costumeexpress.com/Ladybug-Flat-Shoes-Adult/61698/ProductDetail.aspx

Outfit details:
Dress- 50′s style flared dress
Cardi- Polka dot with peter pan colour
Headdress- From Equip, pill box hat with feathers

Shoe 2: Ballet Dancing Shoes

Pretty much any of the shoes that I’m posting can be dressed up or down. These cuties would be fantastic for a long walking shopping trip and with a few good accessories could be dressed up for an evening dinner. The big ribbon bow keeps everything really feminine so keep the co-ordinate light and girly. You could even replace the ribbon depending on the colour you’re wearing.

http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Shoes/Ballet+School+Flats

Outfit details:
Dress- Target
Cardigan- Myer
Headband- Diva
Stockings- Myer (but they don’t sell them anymore)

Shoe 3: Diamante bow shoes

The first thing that I thought when I saw these shoes was of my good friend Trashtastika’s tutorial on how to make a crown headband. You can see the tutorial here, and it would be the perfect co-ordinate for these shoes!

http://www.yesstyle.com.au/en/zahir-bejeweled-bow-accent-flats/info.html/pid.1022476810

Outfit details:
Dress- patterned grey dress from Myer
Cardigan- Ballet style from a thrift store
If it’s a bit cooler, pair it with some opaque black or grey stockings.

Shoe 4: Black and White Alternative Shoes

These shoes have a distinctly punkish feel to them, you could wear them with a Kodona or other boy-style outfit. For a more rockabilly inspired look, pair them with the cutest floofy dress you own. I chose the girly path (surprise) and chose a mostly black and white outfit with just a splash of bright colour to make it a little more interesting! It reminds me a bit of a bowling outfit!

http://www.yesstyle.com.au/en/woorisin-patent-loafers-white-250/info.html/pid.1022072233

Outfit Details:
Dress- Target
Cardigan- White lace from a thrift store
Bow- Made by my friend Susie
Stockings- Black opaque from Myer

Shoe 5 and 6: Pink Lacy Ballet Flats and Pink Quilted Flats

This next outfit is to show you how different flats can give a completely different fee to an outfit.

Outfit details:
Dress- Handmade floral and lace design
Headband- Gift from a friend

Now if you were wearing that dress for a nice warm summer day out, you could easily wear it with the lace pink flats below. They are very delicate and are a lovely summery. They don’t over power the outfit but they would be a nice point of interest.

http://www.yesstyle.com.au/en/hobak-girls-beribboned-lace-flats/info.html/pid.1022487306

These pink quilted shoes are my favorites overall! While they do have a tiny heel for the most part they are flat enough that I don’t think they would cause any discomfort at all even if you wore them all day. They really remind me of the kind of shoes I thought princesses wore when I was a little girl ^_^ I would wear white stockings with the above outfit and use these as a statement piece to draw attention.

http://www.yesstyle.com.au/en/cookie-7-beribboned-quilted-pumps/info.html/pid.1022322364

Shoe 7: Pink Suede Walking Shoes

These shoes I fell in love with at first sight. The little ties at the front give them an interesting shape which is a nice change from the thousands of ballet flats out there! They are ideal for times you know you’re going to be doing a lot of standing and could look cute worn with out without stockings. I think these would look very cute worked in with a Mori Girl co-ordinate. My co-ordinate is more along the lines of how I would wear them though.

http://www.yesstyle.com.au/en/cookie-7-lace-up-loafers/info.html/pid.1022348596

Outfit details:
Jacket- Angelic Pretty
Skirt- Vintage gift from a friend

Shoe 8 and 9: Red Sneakers and Blue Bow Sneakers

This is another double co-ordinate to show that even the humble old sneaker can be dressed up enough to be good for a more formal event. The outfit I’ve picked for these two is a nautical/sailor inspired.

Outfit details:
Dress- Yacht dress thrifted
Nautical scarf- also thrifted

These bright red sneakers are a great addition to this dress as they follow the traditional red/white/blue nautical colours and they are a more feminine shape than traditional sneakers. The bow on the top is a nice touch and as long as they were clean and presentable they would be perfectly appropriate for a day time event.

http://www.yesstyle.com.au/en/holly-shoes-bow-front-sneakers/info.html/pid.1022434640

Now if you wanted to wear the same outfit to a night event these next shoes would do the trick. The blue stripes continue the theme of the scarf and the dark plain fabric draws attention away from the lighter dress. The bow keeps it fun but they are still dressy enough for an evening event!

http://www.yesstyle.com.au/en/cookie-7-stripe-bow-wedge-flats/info.html/pid.1022405407

Shoe 10: Leopard Print Sneakers

Lastly we have some awesome leopard print sneakers! I’ve paired these ones with a bit of a fancy out on a town outfit! Leopard print is funny and a little bit really does go a long way! This one is definitely the kind of co-ordinate that is all in or nothing 

http://www.yesstyle.com.au/en/kvoll-rhinestone-leopard-print-slip-on-sneakers-blue-europe-39/info.html/pid.1022503176

Outfit details:
Dress- Valley Girl
Jacket- can’t remember, added the leopard print myself
Stockings- Myers

So there you have it! 10 ways of co-ordinating cute flats with cute outfits for all occasions! I hope you enjoyed the second installation of Sneaker Sunday, make sure you go check out Valerie’s awesome post as well!

Keep sending in your photos and feel free to browse the Sneaker Sunday gallery for more inspiration, also if you’ve made a Sneaker Sunday post that I missed please let me know so we can add you to the galleries!

This Valentines day Nuffnang is giving it’s bloggers a chance to win a $250 gift voucher, so we thought what better way to spend Valentines Day but together attempting to win enough chocolate to keep us happily blogging away for a whole year. And so…

Once upon a time there were two lonely bloggers… they both loved pink and they both loved sparkles, they both loved anything fancy but they lived 1000 miles away from each other

The distance seemed insurmountable. They would never meet on a train, they would never meet at a supermarket… would their sparkly paths ever cross?

And then along came a little blue man… a Nuffnang man! He left them a little trail of digital bread crumbs to lead them to each other…

The bloggers were ecstatic! They finally had someone else to share their pink sparkliness with!

They shared similar academic pursuits…

And a love of exercise…

And it was nice to have kindness and support in such a mediocre gray scale world….

Or not….

They explored the possibilities of alternative nutrition…

Though each was sweeter than the other… at times.

They dazzled the locals with style and grace…

And spread love and happiness where ever they went!

But they kept large sticks in their large handbags in case of disaster…

They went to bed early every night and made sure to get their beauty sleep…

But that didn’t always seem to go to plan…

So they practiced their elocution until they fell asleep!

All of this joy is thanks to one little blue man, thank you Nuffnang we LOVE you!

And while their world is now more beautiful, there is always room for another seat at the tea party!

We have more special Valentine love to spread to the insanely cute Cheesie of www.Cheeserland.com because if we can have this much fun when she’s not even in the room, imagine what we can do when she actually visits!

Next on our lovely list is local Melbourne princess Aurora Hime and her Tumblr that never fails to inspire!

Last but definitely not least is the devilishly dark and deliciously decked Miss Amelia Arsenic of Destroyx for more reasons than we could possibly list.

So if you want to improve your reality, don’t take the red pill, take the little blue man!

We HEART you Nuffnang!

So while I was away the Nuffnang Christmas Party was held and my gosh did we party!

The night started off with me being in a grumpy mood because I couldn’t get my hair or outfit to work I had planned to do this huge awesome gigantic ball of hair but it didn’t go so well so I desperately had to scrape it into hime style in like 2 minutes before we left ;_;

We were running very late and there was no parking near by so we had to run up a gigantic hill (yes I was wearing heels) to get to Bohemia. So when we finally arrived we met the lovely Miss Sharon (above).

And my Mum (above left). That’s right my Mum has started her own blog! As soon as she starts posting I’ll give you all the link

We waited for others to show up (around 15 people RSVP’d) but no one did! So we made the best of it and had an awesome night!

James was driving but Sharon, my Mum and I decided to order a bunch of cocktails to try. To be perfectly honest none of us usually drink so we only had a sip of each one LOL.

Most of them looked very pretty but holy bajeebus were they disgusting! I can’t STAND the taste of alcohol! YUK!

James was clearly the star of the night! I can’t believe he can hold up that heavy camera to take photos of himself >_< This next one is such a terrible photo but I like it for some reason anyway:

Of course being a typical blogger I can twitter with one hand and take delicate sips of some disgusting green tea concoction with the other…

There was sooooooo much food! We decided to only get 1 platter in the end but there was still so much! We each ended up taking home a doggy bag

How cute is Sharon!? Her dress was so pretty and she even had matching blue earrings!

James thought this would be hilarious…

My outfit for the night… Ok it’s mostly white but the blue sailor top I was planning had a gigantic pink stain on it I didn’t know about until last minute

My Mum was wearing the Christmas nails I made for her and she was being the perfect blogger taking photos of everything

Our lovely photographer for the night:

Bohemia has a free Nintendo Wii with a big screen so we played bowling!

Next time we want to go bowling at a really alley

Nuffnang sent me a package with yummy blue candy canes:

We put them to good use!

And I had a fancy little name tag, everyone else got name stickers and they put them on their arms so they looked like gigantic bandaids >_<

The whole party! There might not have been many of us but we had a great time anyway! Next time all of you guys who RSVP’d better show up!!

We had so much fun, thanks Nuffnang!

Cheers and Merry Christmas everyone!

Have you guys been to any awesome holiday parties yet?

Ok this doesn’t count as the Day 3 post, I’m going to do that later today (I’m still editing the photos!).

Nuffnang Christmas Party!

But I really wanted to let you all know about the Nuffnang Christmas party because all of your Australian bloggers are invited and you don’t even have to be a Nuffnang member to come!

We are having one in most Australian capital cities so make sure if you’re in Aus you come down to one

They are being held simultaneously on the 17th of December and if you’re in Brisbane you better get down to Bohemia in the city and party with me and James!

The theme of the party is BLUE so if you come make sure you wear something pretty and blue!

The best part is that in the Brisbane party we’re going to have a Nintendo Wii competition on the big screen!!

You can find more information HERE.

Or just go ahead and RSVP here.

Are you Brisbane bloggers going to come and play Wii with me?

Well as promised here is my outfit for the Nuffnang awards in all of it’s minute details! I put so much time and effort into this outfit that I think it deserves it’s own post if only for my records heeheee!

I was so torn on what dress design to go with. I wanted something Hime Gyaru obviously but I wanted it to also feel like I was wearing a million dollars rather than something I’d made. Originally I wanted to buy a dress but I couldn’t find anything I liked so I improvised.

This is how it all started out:

I cut one of my basic patterns out of a stretch cream satin for lining.

Then I added the pink flower silk chiffon over the top in the pattern I wanted. I had no end of trouble with the chiffon, I wanted to throw it out the window so many times!

I feel the need to tell you all that I hand pleated the ribbon for the straps (and back up shoes). That’s right hand pleated. No where that could ship fast enough/was within driving distance sold pre-pleated ribbon! WTF?? I really wanted it though so I stubbornly decided to do it myself.

This is the neckline of the dress (yes blacked out the cleavage for protection of your eyes :P) The flowers are all hand sewn on and made of paper, in the middle is a giant heart shaped pink jewel which I just LOVE. The bust has a slight sweetheart line with a row of gathering to make it interesting.

There is also a 3 layer tiered petticoat which I made for this dress specifically. It’s out of cute dot tulle similar to my wrap. I wanted it to have a slight bell shape but nothing as extreme as Lolita so I kept it to 3 soft layers.

I think this is one of the only photos of me without the wrap. I don’t normally show my shoulders or cleavage so I was a touch uncomfortable without it ^_^ James is taking a photo of my nails.

I made my wrap from some lovely dot tulle (different from the petticoat) which was edged with white pom pom fringing. The pom pom fringing was a super large pain to get as well! I swear that all the fabric shops in Brisbane keep a list of things that I desperately want and all collude with each other to not stock them…

This is how my bag started out. I got it on sale at Charlie Brown for around $20

I hated the ugly gold chain on the straps so I removed that and added a rose to make it match the rest of the outfit. It’s made of the softest faux leather I think I’ve ever touched.

I found 2 pairs of shoes on sale at Wittner. This first pair was my back up pair, it took me forever to decide whether to wear these ones or the others because these were more comfortable but they didn’t go with the dress well while the others were stunning but were half a size too small *_*

Anyway these were $40 marked down from around $170. Before decoration…

After decoration… Notice the pleated ribbon again

Detail shot: Yep I’m so detailed obsessed that I glued diamantes to the buckles ^_^

Now this is how the shoes I actually wore started out… On sale for $30 originally like $150ish.

After the Violet treatment…

They are so pretty but holy bajeebus are they painful! Seriously I think I hobbled around for half the night but it was totally worth it

Detail shot:

Interestingly enough these shoes tested by deco abilities. I couldn’t use plain old epoxy glue because it was too brittle, every time I put on the shoes a bunch of jewels cracked off. So I came up with the solution of glueing with epoxy first and then doing 3 top coats of plain old craft tacky glue. This gave it the flexibility to move with my feet Totally interesting right?

I didn’t get too many detail shots of my nails because I completely forgot about them ^_^ The are a pink base with a touch of glitter, white lace with ceramic flowers in pink and white on the very tips. The white lace even has little roses on it!

Funny story- I ran out of nail glue so I had to rush and get some for the flowers. They didn’t have my usual brand so I just grabbed one marked “Professional”. Turns out what they meant by “proffessional” was actually “rubbish and doesn’t stick to anything”. This lead to all kind of shenanigans with little roses flying off and having to dig around under heavy cabinets to get them back before the night. Lesson: Once you find a good nail glue stick with it!

Thought I’d show you my other nails for the trip while I’m here These are blue and blue glitter stripes with silver tips and blue/silver diamantes.

Some of the small diamantes are heart shaped.

My choker, brooch and one of my bracelets were all custom made by the beautiful Celeste from Little Waltz. I commissioned Celeste with a jumble of ideas even before I had a dress and she made the most beautiful pieces for me!

This was the package that arrived from Little Waltz. Everything was packed super well.

The choker is pink pearls with a silver crown backing and a large flower over the top. There is a little chain with more pearls hanging down. The brooch has Swarofsky crystals dangling down in a vintage metal base and a beautiful pink cameo. She also included 2 absolutely beautiful bracelets with diamantes and little bells which jingle whenever I move. When I wear them I feel like a fairy!

I would absolutely recommend Little Waltz for anyone needing custom or off the shelf jewelery, the designs are wonderful and the craftsmanship is just beautiful. Celeste handled all my panicky emails wonderfully and couldn’t have been easier to work with! The craftsmanship on the jewelery is immaculate and the prices were really reasonable, I’d give it all a 10/10!

I decided to keep my make up fairly simple for the night with some false lashes and a hint of pink eye shadow. Lip gloss was of course a must too! 1000 Hour sent me some lashes to test out so I decided it was the perfect night to take one of the sets for a test run.

This was the set I was wearing, “Wild Damsel” you can buy them at Priceline for RRP $8.95. I used a different glue because of my allergy.

Of course here are some shots of them in action…

I found the application of these to be very easy, they held their shape quite well so it wasn’t a pain to reuse them next time. They were very easy to clean with warm water and with the help of my heated curler they were the perfect shape. I think if you wanted them more or less curled it would be quite easy to achieve. 1000 Hour sent me a couple of other products so I’ll be reviewing them soon for you all too!

Shot to see the length…

Well that’s a wrap everyone! I’ll be back to blogging as normal now that most of the move is out of the way

A warning that there are a lot of photos in this post so be warned If these photos just aren’t enough, I’ve uploaded a large selection of everything we took over at my Flickr account. Hey it’s not everyday that someone flies you to Singapore for free so I took a lot of photos!

So starting on Thursday night, our flight was at like 11:45pm so James’ Dad drove us to the airport and we chatted before going through security and customs and doing a little shopping. We were keeping an eye out for Erica from Girl With a Satchel who was the only other blogger coming from Brisbane. We travel in style baby!

This is a kind of silly inside joke but ever since we started going out like 2 and 1/2 years ago James has been promising to buy me a mood ring and he finally did! Hahaha guess what I’m feeling!

The food and service on the plane was lovely, we flew with Singapore Airlines. They gave us little travel packs with socks and tooth brushes, how cute! For dinner we had yummy noodles.

We arrived at the Link Hotel at around 5am and we were all so tired that we piled into bed! Erica was only a couple of rooms down the hall from us which was awesome! She was such a wonderful traveling companion, we had lots of fun together! Here is our hotel room…

To give you an idea of the size, that’s a double bed and the wall is behind the desk on the right. My little laptop Edward lived there but the internet connection was very sketchy so I couldn’t post

After a few hours napping we met up with Erica, Candice and her husband Craig for an… interesting breakfast. Erica ordered coffee with skim milk and they brought her a cup of frothed milk. I ordered tea and they brought warm milk tea like you would have with pearls in it… it was very pretty though!

After breakfast we headed out to a shopping center and shopped around, the girls were super excited that there was a Zara! We met up with Grace and Dave here and she introduced herself by sneaking up behind me, poking me in the back and whispering in my ear “GIMME ALL YOUR MONEY!!” she managed to scare the hell out of me

I bought a pair of earrings and Candice bought me a shiny pink bling ring, the shop assistants kept telling I looked like a Barbie Doll so we took a photo together

Erica was sleepy so she went back to the hotel while Candice and I got pedicures! Ah felt so good and so much nicer than the places here in Aus! Woo for deco iphones!

After that we went back to the hotel to get ready for the awards, which you saw last post so I’ll skip to the next morning which was Friday. I stayed up after the awards and got up early so I could pin curl my hair. I was going to take hot rollers but they were too heavy so I learned to pin curl instead. I was super happy with the results and they lasted all that day and night! James and I met up with Candice and Craig for breakfast at the hotel before the tour started.

Our first stop was the Mint Toy Museum… which is exactly what it implies: a museum for old toys in mint condition. Our tour guide was hilarious, this kind of sums the whole thing up:

I got to pose with a life size model my childhood hero Tintin and his dog Snowy as well as Captain Haddock so I was happy!

We were literally like kids in a toy shop amongst all of the memorabilia! Old favorites like Strawberry Shortcake brought back childhood memories and it made me sad to see the new slutty version they’re trying to pedal now.

Next we went to the Museum of Early Chinese Settlers. You should all note that I’m saving the cutest girliest photos for a special treat on Monday or Tuesday You’re going to love it!

We stopped for lunch at an insanely busy crowded pavilion. Everything was so cheap and there were so many smells in one small area!

It was so awes
ome to be with other people who understand the importance of photos

Our next stop was the Singapore Planning Museum. They had a replica of all of inner Singapore in miniature! Oh what’s that I spy down there?

ZOMG IT’S GIANT VIOLET ATTACKING THE CITY!

We stopped off for a spot of shopping but the museum of planning kept reminding me to look at the architecture There were so many pretty buildings, I wish my windows were rainbow!

The next stop was Merlion park which I was totally looking forward to!

We spent ages just being silly and taking photos, most of those will be in the post on Mon/Tues.

Lots of posing!

Our next stop was the Singapore Flier which is basically a very fancy ferris wheel.

The view from the top was great!

We were fortunate that our capsule was full of awesome people!

Group shot! James, Me, Candice, Craig, Christie with little Immy and Erica.

It was such an action packed tour that Nuffnang had planned at this point we took some time out to just chill with some cocktails at the bay. I had a mocktail version of the “Sinagpore Sling” and it was yummy!

Little Immy was so adorable she had herself a bunch of admirers when the day was done. Here she is with Martin from Nuffnang, she was eating ice cream, too cute!

James made me take this picture of him next to the bus. Low brow humor…

That night we went to a crazy shopping center called Mustafa. There is no way to describe it other than insane. So huge, sold everything from cosmetics to diamonds to cheap shoes to frozen goods to ANYTHING. It was so hard just to find the exit once we were in *_* The lights outside were beautiful though.

We had dinner at a celebrity hot spot (apparently) and out the front there was the ultimate deco project… a motorbike!

I had the most disgusting grass jelly drink for dinner. It was like frozen rice noodles in sugar water. ICK.

After a good night’s sleep we were ready for shopping again Quick breakfast and some photos.

We headed off to Orchard Rd for fancy upmarket shopping.

I bought a bunch of Japanese magazines, I was so happy! They are like 1/3rd of the price compared to Australia!

The boys played Wii Sports Resort while we all shopped.

Then it was our last shopping stop for the trip…. SIM LIM SQUARE! Everyone had been waiting so long to get here, it’s basically a whole shopping center devoted to gadgets and cameras I wanted to get a video camera (mission unsuccessful) and James wanted to look at lenses. We ended up spending 3 hours there because everyone wanted to bargain for things! Some of the guys got really good deals t
oo I had a hilarious experience with Grace as she put on her famous Singaporean accent to try and bargain on my behalf The shop keeper was a nut job and he was yelling at us not to leave! Grace’s bargaining skills were so awesome she even got $5 off a steam iron which was supposed to be set price!

While we were wandering around waiting for the boys to finish haggling Kruppy took us on his magical tour of the past and educated us on the subtitles of the landline phone

Apparently his tour made him so tired that he felt the need to try out a magic eye massaging gadget… hahaha! I sure hope he didn’t sustain any lasting damage ^_^

Oh and I couldn’t help but share the signs we could see from the hotel… Frog porridge sounds interesting! We were all daring each other to try it but there just wasn’t time!

After all that there was time for one last hurrah online and then a dash to the airport!

Erica can testify to the fact that our taxi driver was the funniest man in the universe! He was giving us the good old cab driver philosophy and saying we should work less and enjoy life before our retirements! We were convinced he should write a book.

At the airport we grabbed some dinner and did a dash to the plane (almost missed it oops!). James couldn’t believe there was a Burger King, he was so excited! In Australia Burger King is called Hungry Jacks because when it first arrived the name was already taken, so it’s a novelty.

On the plane back I managed to get some sleep, dinner was some kind of fish which was icky but smelled good.

The best part was desert which was chocolate covered icecream bites!

James really enjoyed his hahahaha!

And that was our lovely trip! Now what you really want to see… the loot
Here’s the candy!

Things that I bought:

Nuffnang Australia had these awesome shirts made up for us, I love the one I got!!

And look… FOREIGN BUENO! And yes it tasted just as good Damn Kinder, just sponsor me already

To say thank you very much to Nuffnang and all the sponsors James and I made this photo <3

I had such a wonderful time, I wish it had lasted longer but it was lovely and it all feels like a dream now

While we were taking photos in the lobby of the hotel, everyone started taking our photos too! I felt like a celebrity!

There was literally a wall of other bloggers snapping us!

We traveled by bus to the event and around half way there Craig (who was sitting behind me) tapped me on the shoulder and pointed outside to the car full of kids who were waving and cheering at me! So cute!

When we arrived we were greeted with an explosion of camera flashes! We all walked the red carpet to the official photographer and got some shots done.

Aussie bloggers for the win!

Here I am posing with the program. It was a lovely souvenir! The entertainment for the night was Alan Woo (a Singaporean tv celebrity), JC Sum and Magic Babe Ning and the band Electro. I felt bad for Alan Woo, he was doing his best to keep everyone on track but with a room full of bloggers everyone kind of does their own thing!

We shared our table with the adorable Valerie from Dweam and her friends. Here we are making silly Mickey Mouse faces with the ears she borrowed from one of the fashion bloggers!

Valerie and her friends (who’s names I couldn’t hear over the loud music sorry!)

James chilling with some water looking suave

Reading about the nominees…

Our view of the stage.

Each person got a little jar of hard candy which actually have Nuffnang’s initials/logo in the candy! They were really yummy!

It was funny how many people wanted my photo, I didn’t realize so many people actually read my blog! I felt so much like a celebrity, I think I took photos with everyone there!!!

Here I am with Ringo from Cheeerland who had super cute make up.

James’ Pringles video CAME SECOND!!!! They picked the two best ones and played them both on the big screen! He was so excited! Here he is with the winner Jayden (who’s video was super professional). James was so happy to meet him!

This is to give you an idea of the number of people there… it was a massive event! We didn’t realize how big blogging was in Asia *_*

I was taking photos with Audrey from FourFeetNine when who should jump into our photo but Grace from Living Footprints!

Of course Grace and I had to start taking stupid photos, Audrey couldn’t help looking adorable in them

The food that night was delicious, it was absolutely 5 star!

The desert was my favorite, it was some kind of chocolatey cheese cake (maybe?) which tasted like Bueno… Perfect! And it gave me the perfect chance to show off my cute new eyelashes courtesy of 1000Hour Lashes

After all of that excitement I was pretty tired so I settled into bed to wake up early for the tour day in the morning.

I had such a wonderful night, I really can’t thank Nuffnang enough. This was an opportunity of a lifetime and I couldn’t be happier. Look out for me next year on the nominee’s list
