I like this photos because I look so tall XD I’m only 151cm tall so I’ll take what I can get! |
Shirt- SES
Dress- Valley Girl
Jeans- Ally? I think?
I’ve been continuing my love affair with leopard print lately ^_^ I really want some more leopard print stockings
I’ve been playing around with make up too, trying out different pinks…
And also a lot of lighter highlighting. I haven’t been wearing false lashes as much as my eyes have been quite irritated so I’ve been working around that too.
I think this outfit was for a day of business meetings ^_^
Shirt- Target I think..
Skirt- Savers

I wore this outfit for lunch with the MBBE girls!
Skirt- Valley Girl
Dress- Valley Girl

This is one of the many reasons I always have a scarf attached to my bag… it’s good for rain protection! Caught in a sudden storm with no umbrella? Throw it on like a 50’s movie star and you’re good to go XD I have an obsession with nice scarves and I managed to find a fantastic store that sells lovely gigantic ones for $5 recently, very excited!
This is me doing my best Chuck impression from Pushing Daisies in a sudden storm ;P

They were pretty dodgy because I didn’t leave them to dry enough before the top coat but they did the job!
And my outfit from the day…

Cardigan- Ice, on sale at Harbour Town 3 for $10 😀
Shoes- Can’t remember, I added the shoe clips
Necklace/Bracelet- Gift from the lovely Casey!
Brooch- Amaranth Opulent
Bonus photo:
Look at the epically huge rice crispy square I made XD It was actually several smaller squares but it melted in the container into one massive one!

Today’s post is quick because I’ve been taking photos for new hair tutorials all day and I am so sleepy now!
I just wanted to show off my new hair cut and colour XD I’ve been thinking of a new style for a while now, my hair had gotten so long and I really needed to trim the ends. I haven’t had layers since I was about 14 so I decided to do that. I also decided it was time for a colour change so I gave myself a pink/copper gradient rather than the dark one I had previously.
This is the dodgy phone pic after I did it all and styled with hot rollers^_^
This one shows off the colours much better and was after pin curling for a night…

The first day I wore it out:
I have to say I absolutely LOVE it. Couldn’t be happier with the result and I think it’s really me! I didn’t lose much length but it’s made it so much more manageable and healthy.
I think the cut is so much more versatile now and I’ve already been able to try a lot of new styles to wear so I’m very happy ^_^ It also means I’ve been able to wear curls all day just from pin curling over night so that is a massive improvement too. Also it’s majorly bouncy so I feel like I’m in a Pantine commercial every where I go now XD |
The back:
And lastly, here is a bonus pic of me having myself a Farrah Fawcett moment in front of a display fan while we were out shopping XD
So many of my friends are having total hair make overs at the moment, it’s really exciting! What are you all planning to do with your hair next?

The colours in this dress didn’t photograph well here, the flowers are stunningly pinkish in person!

Hello all!
Again due to a couple of unexpected problems I can’t show you the post I was planning to today 🙁 But I promise to put it up as soon as I can and here’s an outfit in the meantime ^_^
A lot of you requested details of my outfit from the Koko Black Meet Upso here they are!

Outfit rundown:
- Dress- Handmade (this was what I wore to the Nuffnang Blogger Awards last year!)
- Cardigan- Myer
- Boots- Target (customized by me!)
- Necklace- Little Waltz
- Hair Accessories- Rose pins made by me and bow from some $2 store.
Now onto website things ^_^ I’ve been tinkering with the site today a bit and making things easier to navigate. I’m hoping this will make it easier for you all to find what you’re looking for and easier for me to update it quickly. |
So in the top links section you will now find that I’ve combined the “Violet Vision” and “Snapshots” pages into one to make it easier to find whatever media you want. I have also added a “Store” link which will take you to the nail art store! I am hoping to update the store this week with a lot of deco projects I’ve been working on so stay tuned there.
Probably most importantly I have re-arranged the “Tutorials” page. Before it was quite difficult to navigate and update but now everything is sorted into categories and in gallery form. This should make it a little easier for everyone and I’ll be able to keep it more current!
I’ve also updated the “About” page. A lot of people have been asking for my Facebook lately so all of that information is there now as well as other social networks you might want to add me on! A while ago I added “Like” buttons at the top of all of the posts too which is pretty fun!
*edit* Oh I completely forgot! I also added the feature so you guys can have avatars in the comments, if you want one you just need to register at Gravatars. Even cooler, I’m trialing CommentLuv. Basically it means that if you have a blog it will automatically link your latest post! Cool huh? I’ve heard that this might slow the site down a bit so just trialing and seeing how it goes. I want to give you guys some blog love though since you’re nice enough to come visit mine!! Let me know what you think! */edit*
Hope you’re all having a great day and let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions on how I could make the site easier for you to use!

Here are a couple of outfits I’ve been wearing over the last few weeks ^_^
This one was a nice casual outfit for a lunch out.

Dress- TargetJumper- Thrift store (I love it because it has beautiful wool embroidery)Stockings- Myer |
Shoes- Payless modified by me
This one was a bit more dressy, I can’t remember what we were doing that way but I think maybe it was something glamorous like grocery shopping? XD
Dress- Angelic Pretty
Cardigan- Myer (I think?)
Stockings- Myer
Shoes- Wittner, modified by me
Scarf- Hand knitted by me
As per usual my favorite thing about the outfit is my nails 😀
It’s just a simple 3 colour gradient but I love it! I’ve had requests for a tutorial on this too.
I like them because they are quite understated usually but when they get in the sun they are crazy shiny!
I’ve been experimenting with new hair styles too 😀 This is my favorite so far…
I think it looks quite complicated but it’s really easy to do, I’m going to take photos for a tutorial on this tomorrow 😀
I think I want to make a whole more of these rose pins too, time for a trip to a craft store for more outfits 😀
