Before I get into the post today there’s just a small announcement I need to make! Recently there has been a rash of blogging related fraud. Including several scam artists posing as certain bloggers I know to demand free products from companies. One of the companies scammed recently was The Sticker Monster who have been a sponsor of mine for quite sometime and who’s owner I consider a friend. Please see this video for more information. Apparently this scam artist said that they found The Sticker Monster through my blog which really upset me.
So everyone please be on notice and watch for this person! >:(
To avoid any possible problems please know that the ONLY email address I ever use now is VIOLET @ VIOLETLEBEAUX . COM I no longer use my old gmail account (though I still have control of it) or any other accounts. If you receive any emails from someone claiming to be me from any other address please let me know asap.
It makes me really disgusted that anyone would do anything as low as trading on someone else’s hard work building a blog just to get free things. Not ok.
Please stay safe everyone and be aware of who you’re talking to online, it never hurts to contact someone via Twitter or a blog comment to confirm things. This sort of thing is becoming more and more common so be careful!
Time for some more random outfits ^_^
This is my favorite casual outfit at the moment…

These were my nails for the week, I went to the Illamasqua counter launch on Thursday so I wanted them to be extra pretty 😀 Lots of photos of that to come, I had a gothic make up transformation!

The design is a kind of rainbow using a different base colour on each finger starting from light pink on one end to blue on the other.
Then I striped white over the top and added 3 jewels and a row of hearts to each one.
I really liked how they turned out, nice and sparkly 😀 What did you guys get up to this week? |

Firstly! As a lot of you probably know Queensland was recently flooded quite badly. That’s where I used to live before I moved down here to Melbourne. Nuffnang put together a charity auction to raise money for the victims and my donation was 4 sets of my nails. Currently the bidding is up to $20 for the package so please do go have a look because it’s a good cause and a huge bargain right now!!

When I was a kid I pretty much lived in baseball caps and after looking through waaay too many gyaru photo dumps on Tumblr they started to grow on me again. Very practical for both Summer and covering dark roots 😉 After spying this one at a tourist store for $6 I set about making it much more “me”. Now it’s become know as my “I’m-busy-working-and-if-you-interrupt-me-right-now-and-I-lose-my-train-of-thought-I-will-beat-you-to-death-with-this-hat”… hatwork hat because I wear it when I’m writing important emails XD
I wanted to make it match the shoes I decorated way back here so I pulled out all my supplies again ^_^

What you need:
- A cap to use as a base
- Copic markers (or permanent pens like a sharpie)
- Diamantes etc for decorating
- Epoxy glue.
I wanted to go for a pink leopard print again so I started by marking in light purple all of the spots:
Next I used a darker purple to roughly mark the areas around the spots.
I covered the entire back 2/3rds of the cap leaving the front plain.
Next I filled in the background with light pink.
At this point it should look something like this:
Next I gave everything a second coat with the markers to darken it up and make it look much more like the pinks already on the brim ^_^
Last it was time for a little deco to jazz up the front!
I stuck the pearls, jewels and plastic heart on using epoxy and added a couple more on the crown above the “princess” embroidery.
And that was it!
Not exactly my every day look but I still think it’s adorable and I would totally wear it on casual days!
The best part is that it’s completely custom so you can really do whatever design you like and have something completely unique ^_^ What do you guys think? |
