A big part of Sneaker Sunday is the different types of sneakers we see!
It’s all about audience participation and that’s why Valerie and I just love it when you guys all send your photos of how you wear your different sneakers. The best part about sneakers is that you can own all types of sneakers and no one would complain because they’re all different! 
The different sneaker brands available in the market make for such a wide variety of choices too!
So today is all about showing you all how much we appreciate all of your efforts in Sneaker Sunday! All of the photos showcasing the different types of sneakers have been submitted to us and are credited to the owner’s they’re linked to.
Knock yourself out by taking a look at all the different types of sneaker posts and if you would like to take part in Sneaker Sunday, just email your link to either Valerie or myself.

I’m going to a Masterchef Finale party tonight, I’ve never been super into Masterchef but I sure like to eat so it’s going to be fun!
So what have all of you got planned this Sneaker Sunday? |

So I promised a tutorial on cutening up a plain old umbrella and here it is, deco umbrella time ^_^
There are so many different things you can do with an umbrella and so I decided to do a few versions of this.
How you can decorate your umbrella will depend on what you’re actually going to use it for. For example if you want it to be a parasol and protect you from just the sun then you can do pretty much anything at all with it… but if you need it to protect you from the rain then you shouldn’t sew anything into the top section of it because the hole you poke with your needle and thread are just going to let water in!!
The key things I want my umbrella to do are keep me dry and fit in my handbag so I didn’t want to add anything too bulky or put any holes in the top. I decided to start off small and just add lace around the edge of the bottom of it.

What you need:
- Umbrella
- Lace
- Needle and thread
What you need to do is open the umbrella up completely. Thread your needle and start sewing lace on.
It’s quite self explanatory really ^_^ When you get to the corners you should pleat the lace so it sits flat then start up the next side. I took this photo after it had been crushed in my bag for a week so you’ll have to use your imagination >_<
Keep going until you reach the end and tie it all off ^_^
Done! This is a way of just adding a little bit of something cute to a plain old umbrella. Nothing will be left un-cute by the time I’m finished ^_^
Though after looking at it for a few months I think it’s still a little plain so I decided to add some more details to it. I haven’t finished yet so you’ll have to wait until next time to see it all completed. I’m going to add small bows to each of the points and deco the bottom of the handle 😀 |
So I’ll show you it properly finished by the end of next week! Hope you like the deco umbrella ^_^

Hello! I am always quite hesitant to post snapshots like this because I’m never sure if it’s really boring for all of you or not XD
I keep taking huge amounts of photos because we’re actually going places and doing fun things so it seems like a shame to just let them sit in a folder somewhere!
These photos go all the way back to Brisbane ^_^
This is the cutest cake in the whole universe… Yay Breadtop! I think I need one of these for my next birthday!
This was all the way back when we had to clean our old townhouse before leaving. See having tall hair really doesn’t prevent me from vacuuming!

We bought one of those family meals from MacDonalds and the box was so comically big so I had to get a snap shot!
Before we moved Jamesreally got into baking, he made us fresh bread all the time 😀 He was very sad when we couldn’t bring his parents breadmaker with us but they brought it down as a surprise last weekend! Woo yummy bread again 😀
Being very silly with a face mask from the Face Shop which I’m totally addicted too. They make you look like a scary Egyptian Mummy though!
And here are the obligatory trying-on-silly-glasses shots 😉
Classy no?
And the lovely Super Kawaii Mama and I indulging in bubble tea. This was my first one in Melbourne but I have to say that Bubble Cup is no where near as good as Easy Way. Yummy!
James is quite the baker, his special is chocolate chip pancakes from scratch!
My current favorite drink! This is soooo sweet and delicious. Very hard to find though so I’m hoarding a bottle in the back of my fridge heehee!
And now a distraction… here’s a cute puppy! It’s kind of weird that I take photos of random puppies in pet stores >_<
Being awesome in my glasses 😉 Deco glasses for the win!
Omg this gigantic snake was outside our window in Brisbane!! Scared the hell out of me!
This was my delicious hot chocolate at our Pancake Manor going away dinner (the first of like 6 going away dinners!).
We’ve been meeting up with so many awesome people! Weekly lunch with the lovely Celesteis always fun. Although the first time, I ordered the spiciest pasta EVER without knowing >_< Totally my luck, I keep ordering spicy food by accident!
Celesteand I! She is just adorable!
I’ve been taking every single chance I possibly can to try out hot chocolates around town too! Haha I should start reviewing them! |
Alice and I went to Koko Blackto test out their hot chocolates and other delicious things 😀
Look at these drinks!! They were so yummy 😀
Haha oh no I’m turning into a food blogger XD Mmm food!
I’ve even started to try and cook nicer food at home. This steak is the fanciest thing I’ve ever made 😀
Alice and I made macarons as well. We tried chocolate as well as green tea with redbean filling for a Japanese twist. They didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped because we couldn’t get the temperature in the oven right but still super yummy!
Oh and for those of you that keep asking for photos of me without make up… here’s one 🙂
Alice made a heart shaped one, how cute ^_^
Alice brought me flowers too, all of the friends we’ve made here are so lovely!!
These are some of the other macarons James and I made. They are lemon and… wait for it… BUENO FLAVOR!!! That’s right! I worked out how to make Bueno macarons, thus combining my two favorite things! YUM
These ones were a gift so I put them in a little bag and made a handmade sticker to go on it ^_^
And the other side of the sticker!
I have so many more photos from other fun things and fun meet ups with new friends but I’m quite sleepy so next time ^_^ If anyone’s actually interested maybe I should do this once every few weeks. It’s a novelty for me to have this many interesting outings in such a short period of time!
This weekend it’s the Nuffnang Koko Black meet up too, what have you all got planned? Hope you enjoyed the snapshots!
