Outfit

On Monday Rydog and I went on a day trip to the Southern Highlands which is located about an hour and a half from Sydney. This is a wonderful place to visit. I've been there many times before; the last time we stayed over night and I posted about it here. It is so scenic and beautiful, especially at this time of year, and there are always many photo opportunities. It was lovely and warm yesterday which is great because I usually find it extremely cold in the Southern Highlands. They also have the best macaroons on the main street and I get very excited about macaroons.  It was a very enjoyable day.

Now onto the outfit. I am wearing my red Alannah Hill cardigan, which goes with everything, yet again; I did my first remix post on it here. In fact this outfit, in its entirety, is one of my go to outfits so I'm suprised I haven't posted it before. It usually seems to work out for me. I love to wear the red cardigan with this pink floral skirt because I absolutely love the combination of red and pink together. I used to think it was a fashion rule that should never be broken but lately I believe the combination can be quite tasteful in the right circumstances. My bow top is my absolute favourite top; I adore the versatility and the size of the bow. I love the cut of it and the detailing adds to any outfit. I also have this top in the stripe version which I posted here. I tried to match my accessories with the silver glitter flats, silver bow and silver and purple earrings. I've had this hairstyle for a week now and it has been amazing. It has saved me so much time, made me feel less self conscious about my hair and saved my hair from straightener damage.  I guess I should take a break from this style which makes me very sad; I want to keep it as a special wedding hairstyle rather than an everyday style. It's just hard to know what else to do with my hair.

Outfit

This week most of my outfits have involved a floral dress and red accessories with my hair in a bun; I love this as a spring/summer look. I've been doing a smaller bun for everday and the larger bun for more dressy/formal events. I like to have some variety and my hair is just too thin for a very large bun so it is often hard. This hairstyle is solving so many problems for me. I haven't straightened my hair for almost a week. I recently bought this dress from Dotti. I love the dresses in this store at the moment; overall it has become my favourite store this year despite having not given it much attention previously.It's good to have a blue dress because blue is definitely the least common colour in my wardrobe; it was certainly not intentional that it worked out that way. I love the large daisy print. For some reason I've wanted a daisy print dress for a long time and it's a nice change from the regular floral print that is usually seen on clothes.  

I don't have much to say today. I'm busy as usual with the wedding preparations, finishing university, pre-wedding social events, deciding what to do next year and finding a place to live etc. It's very stressful. It is only five weeks until the wedding (since a lot of people have asked) which is completely unbelievable; I simply cannot comprehend where all the time has gone. It will be a new beginning but there's a lot about my current lifestyle that I'm going to miss so it really is a time of so many different emotions.

It really made my day when I successfully completed this hairstyle; it was so exciting. When I think about how short and thin my hair is, it really is incredible that I did it. I've been trying this hairstyle for weeks; I was previously only able to do this hairstyle with the smaller bun enhancer but I think it loses a lot of the effect when its too small (especially when it is placed higher up compared to the low ballerina bun). It is a real struggle to cover such a large bun enhancer with such a tiny amount of hair but I did it and I'm happy with the way it turned out. These bun enhancers that I have recently discovered are truly a life saver. It is very infrequently that I will rave about a hair product (I find that most, with the exception of dry shampoo, do not work) so I really mean it when I talk about how great these are. There are so many benefits; my hair looks so much longer and thicker than it actually is, I I don't have to worry about my hair in the wind, my hair doesn't need to be clean and it saves me from straightening my hair every single day. I can't believe I've only just discovered it! I highly recommend this hairstyle. If I can do it (I have extremely limited skills with hair; the only thing I can do is straightening) then anyone can do it. 

I had a very busy weekend. On Saturday my sister and I went to check out Topshop that just opened up in Sydney. To be honest, I was very disappointed; in my opinion it was overpriced, average quality and not at all my style but I thought Topman was pretty amazing. I bought Rydog a leopard print shirt. I ended up buying a few dresses from Dotti in the city. This is one of them (it was a total bargain for $30). One of the reasons why I love this dress is because of all the beautiful colours. It reminds me of a dress which was previously sold on Modcloth (it was a velvet rainbow tye dye skater dress). For some reason I had the desire to wear it with red accessories; I thought it was a unique choice that really stood out) but there are so many other colour combinations I could pair it with. I adore the cut of this dress too. The cut, coupled with my hairstyle, made me feel like a figure skater or a ballerina.

Outfit/ Wedding Hair

Hi everyone!
 I currently feel the need to rant about my hair:

My hair is ridiculously annoying at the moment and I hate it being this long. My hair is extremely thin and damaged and as soon as it gets to my shoulders it becomes impossible to style as a bob cut. I have resorted to putting my hair behind my ears with a headband or trying up upstyles such as buns and ponytails but I just don't feel as dressed up this way. I am concerned that my hair is letting me down and does not match the dressiness of my clothes and shoes. I am desperate to cut my hair but I am growing it for my wedding. This is not a course of action I was initially planning to take; I always thought I would just have short curly hair for my wedding. However, upon recent experimentation, I realised that my hair is just long enough for an up style. I prefer this for a wedding since it is more formal and makes my hair look long and thick. It is the last thing my friends and family will expect so I like that surprise element.  Here is a preview of my wedding hair style. Whenever I think my current daily struggles with my hair are not worth it I look at this photo to remind me how amazing and beautiful my hair could look at the wedding. 

Now onto the outfit. I purchased these amazing shoes in the Wittner sale the other day; admittedly I've gone a little crazy with spending on shoes lately but there have been some incredible deals. These shoes were $100 but they became $50 per pair when two were purchased in one transaction. I couldn't decide between the red pair and the black version so luckily I ended up with both for $100. I mean I was practically forced to own two pairs, right?! I love them so much; especially the strappy look and the patent material. In reality I'll probably wear them with dressier outfits than this one but I thought the pops of colour in this outit would be a good way to display the shoes for the first time. Eventually these shoes will probably recieve their own post too! I showed this dress once before here; it's been a staple in my wardrobe for some time now.



It was extremely challenging to stand on this log while wearing heels

Hair Accessories + Random Picture

Hello everyone, how is your week? This week was my first week back at university and I am still trying to comprehend where the last three months went. I haven't done much work yet so in some ways it feels as though I am still on holidays but I know this won't last for much longer. My subjects have started off slowly since some of the textbooks are still out of stock at the bookshop and some of the online lectures and readings have not yet been released. I am surprised by this because usually I have a lot of work right from the start but I am certainly not complaining. I know it will get harder soon because I am a fourth year law student now.

This picture was taken around the middle of last year but I never posted it. For some reason I really like it and I also like the hairstyle I had there. That style is the one part of long hair that I miss.

Short Hair

Last week I finally built up the courage to have my hair cut short. I had been wanting to do this for most of last year but I was unsure because it was such a big change since I have never had a short hair style before. Also, the success of this hair cut will depend on how easy it is to maintain and whether or not I can make it straight because my hair is not naturally straight. This hair cut was inspired by Katy Perry, I even took a picture of her to the salon. I love long hair but it wasn't working for me because my hair was very thin and damaged. I am pleased I made this decision and it's good to have a change sometimes. I'm looking forward to experiementing with different hair accessories and the styling of this hair cut.

This weekend I decided to experiment with curly hair. My mum curled my hair because she is much better at hair styling than I am. I'm so pleased with the way it turned out especially since my hair has never been successfully curled before and it was far better than I ever expected. Its unbelievable how much thicker my hair looked and its interesting to see what it looked like shorter but without actually having to cut it. This is also a successful hairstyle because we used rollers which involved no heat so it was not damaging to my hair like straightening. I really hope I can style my hair like this reasonably often. On Saturday I went shopping but to a different centre for a change and at night I went to a see a movie and for dinner. It was a fun weekend and I wish it wasn't over.



















The print on my dress doesn't show up particularly well but there are close ups in one of my previous posts from a few weeks ago.

Park Part 2

These are the rest of the pictures from my trip to the park two weekends ago. It was such a fun day and there were so many opportunities to take pictures. I also have a few close ups of my hairstyle too so I hope that shows it well enough.





















Right now I am having a major crisis with my assessment for equity and trusts. I have absolutely no idea where the start or how to go about it and it covers so many different issues that I am feeling a sense of information overload. I feel so incredibly lost and I spent most of today on it with no success. I have never had this situation with an assessment at university before so I am really really worried about what I am going to do. I am having more success with my accounting assessment so that makes me feel slightly better. I must complete these assessments soon because I am considering going away for a few days at the end of next week and if I do I need to be reasonably organised. I really hope that somehow I can get myself together. Once again I'm sorry for being so behind in comenting. I will catch up eventually.
