3 Ways To Wear Scarf Bows! Outfit Of The Day

by VioletLeBeaux | Apr 7, 2014 | Outfit Of The Day

It’s outfit time! This post’s theme is head scarves!

Lottie has been enjoying what’s probably the last of the warm weather so we’ve been walking a lot.

Scarf: Thrift store
Shirt: Thrift store
Skirt: Thrift store

Shoes: 7 Angels

I didn’t even realise almost my entire outfit if from the thrift store hahaha!

I wore this to have yummy pastries at a French Patisserie with friends!

Shirt: Bergamot store
Skirt: Valley Girl
Scarf: Gift
Shoes: Mini MAOS

This was my Ikea shopping outfit, we needed to find James a new desk and we also bought a kitchen island! My Home Sweet Home has gone through a lot of changes that I want to show you guys soon.

Shirt: Japanese import shop at Harbour Town
Skirt: Coco Latte
Shoes: Mini Maos
Cardigan: Tempt
Scarf: Junk store on Swanston St
Glasses: Sunglasses from Diva that I popped out the lenses.

I really like the pockets on this skirt!

Technically I’m wearing a scarf on my hat in this outfit >_> The hat was from H&M in Switzerland.

I made all of the jewellery I’m wearing here and the shirt is from Supre. I was so irritated because I bought it for $6 then wore it and decided it was super comfortable. I went back to buy all of the other colours like 3 days later and they had been marked up to $12 >:( Not cool! So now I’m waiting for them to go on sale again because they are so freaking comfortable!

I ended up buying this skirt from there anyway because it was half price >_>

Arm candy!

I’ve been trying out some new make up looks too, specifically colours that I don’t usually think of like peach and gold.

And these two last outfits don’t really fit the scarf theme… but >_>

The weather has been so inconsistent lately, I hope it will just hurry up and be Winter soon!

Dress: Valley Girl
Shoes: Target
Cardigan: Myer

I should have taken photos of all of my filming outfits, but this was the only one I remembered. I really like my new studio set up though!

You guys have seen this dress a million times but it’s still my favourite!

Now that the weather is changing it’s making me want to go on a wardrobe clean out… and subsequent shopping spree to refill it. Good excuse? Sounds good enough to me!

Delicious Food – Melbourne Snapshots

by VioletLeBeaux | Apr 5, 2014 | Life

This week’s snapshots is all about food. Delicious, delicious food.

This actually tasted pretty bad… but it was so pretty. I hate when cute food doesn’t like up to taste expectations, it’s like the ultimate disappointment. Also, whats with rich people and eating gold!? Every high tea we go to seems to have gold leaf on something!

Speaking of desserts… The heart chocolates in the bottom left were hand made for me by Chrissy! She is the best! And the top two is what happens when you say to James, “I don’t care, just order something and we’ll split it”. It was seriously massive and we barely finished it between the two of us. Complete strangers came up and asked what we had ordered, then took photos it was that ridiculous.

My one weakness: sweet potato fries from Hot Star.

This was the first thing I made with my isomalt melting jewels. It’s so pretty and shiny I can’t wait to make some more once the burn it gave me is healed *_*

Sushi makes for such interesting photos.

As a bonus… here is James carrying all of our food… it totally fits the theme. He’s walking down the up escalator but who knows why. Probably because he’s a handsome rebel who plays by his own rules.

Puffy Plaited Knitted Headband Tutorial

by VioletLeBeaux | Apr 4, 2014 | Craft, Hair-Accessory-Tutorials, Tutorial

Yay! More knitting tutorials! I have so much of this yarn left over from my cable knit sweater that I just can’t help but knit XD

Today we’re making a knitted headband which is puffy and plaited.

To begin I cast on 24 stitches and knit 2 rows in stockinette.

The I put the first 16 stitches into another needle to work with later. I worked this in 3 sections of 8 stitches each.

Ignoring the other 16 stitches I knit the section of 8 in stockinette until it was long enough to wrap around my head without stretching it.

After the first 8 stitches it should look something like this:

I put those 8 stitches aside and then began to work the next 8.

And then the final 8 after that.

The point of that is that you need to have 3 strands of equal length to plait. Once I plaited them together I put all of the stitches back on the needles and knitted another 2 rows to finish it off.
