Today’s Round Up has a definite vintage theme!
First up we have a Morning Make Up which has some tips on using liquid liner and bright red lipstick.
And then we have the matching hair tutorial. I love this waved hairstyle and it’s surprisingly easy to do!

Australia seems to have a love hate relationship with Ugg boots. Sometimes they’re acceptable fashion, sometimes they’re just for bogans. The rest of the world seems to have embraced them though and far be it from me to tall poppy them 😉
As an Australian I’m slightly embarassed to own ugg boots because they were so uncool when I grew up. Well not ugg boots but the $7 equivalent from Target. I honestly don’t know how these managed to be some kind of fashion statement or something that people wear in public? Growing up in North Queensland, uggs were the kind of thing that you wore around the house or farm, not what you wore to the shops. Maybe to the servo at like 2am or the McDonalds drive through… but definitely not as a fashion statement, it always seems to me like wearing pajamas out haha! Each to their own though ^_^
I ended up with this pair (my first ever) when my last slippers finally bit the dust as the rubber bottoms disintegrated all over the floor one day. It was the middle of Winter and there was nothing remotely boot-like in the store other than these.
This is pretty much sums up how I feel:
|
But ignoring the whole debate over cool or not cool, comfortable or not comfortable I certainly didn’t want plain ones so I added some quick decorations to jazz them up a bit. I used some nylon lace, ribbon flowers and a hot glue gun. You really should sew them but I’m not expecting mine to last for very long since the fluff is already half gone XD It’ll be Summer soon anyway so I can go back to Mario slippers!
First I glued a row of lace around the edge of the turned over part.
Easy.
A couple of flowers completes the job in around 10 minutes max!
Yep that’s it!
I still don’t know how I feel about them. They’re quite good for around the home but I don’t think I’ll be shopping in them any time soon 😉
All of this deep thinking about Australia’s export items makes me sleepy anyway….
What do you guys think?? Does your country have any exports which other countries think are cool when everyone at home thinks they’re a bit lame? |
So many things to post from this Zombie shoot we did with Fables in Fashion and Surfaced Studios! We recorded so many things that day! If you’re scared of zombies don’t keep reading, Celina is pretty scary!
|
James got a lot of photos. Well he did a lot of something, maybe not taking photos XD
And he was a victim at one point!
Now some zombie goodness, say hello to Evil Celina!
Ok Evil, Cute Celina.
Tobias played the army commando for the day!
And I was a victim too, well my legs were X
Back to being eeeevil!
She looks like she’s going to eat me XD
We did a lot of takes so each of us could use something in the footage. I got a bunch of behind the scenes footage and an outfit video where Celina is chasing me!
Tobias brought his soft light boxes so I made use of them for some less zombie related camwhoring XD
And I got some better ones of Celina while she was there too XD
The wounds were really realistic, it was creepy as hell! I couldn’t look her in the eye for most of the day.
Back to camwhoring though…
Yeah that’s really pretty much it…
I can’t wait to start posting some of these videos! I saw the edits from the other guys and they look amazing! There will be quite a lot of Zombie stuff this week.
Poor James loves zombies but has nightmares though so he’s not allowed to look at my site this week XD |
These headphone jack decorations seem to be really popular lately! They can be pretty expensive too considering they really do nothing useful. Here’s a quick way to make your own in any design you like.
|
What you need:
 So the decoration basically sits in the top here in the headphone jack spot.
First step is to decide which decoration you want to use. I went through a few options before deciding on the bow.
Take the jack end on your old broken headphones.
Cut it off with the scissors. Get as close to the end as you can without having to cut metal. You can strip off the plastic if you prefer. Or if you want something even closer you could probably use heavy duty pliers to get a closer cut. Be careful if you try it though, in fact be careful when modifying any electrical equipment like this especially if it’s very old.
See it still fits in there nicely. I needed to double check the height was ok when using my case too so keep that in mind.
Now just glue it to your decoration. I glued it to the bow.
Then I glued another bow to the other side so it looked good both ways.
Once it’s dry it’s done. Yep, seriously that’s it.
It’s probably a bit of overkill on my phone…
But on James’ phone it makes a bit more sense!
I’ve seen some very cute crown ones too which would be equally easy to make if you could find some crown charms.
So there you have it, next time you have some broken headphones don’t throw them out! |
