I've come across a feeling of anger lately. I feel angry because I feel trapped and helpless in my own world.

...I like my work but I hate that I haven't had a weekend night off in 6 weeks.
I like my blog but I hate that the direction is going the wrong way.
I like my own style but I hate that I feel judged by the blogging world sometimes.
I like Lana Del Rey but I hate that I feel wholly connected to the lyrics of "Born to Die".
I like my friends and friendships but I hate how I am let down when I need it most sometimes.

I've decided to go to a style I love - dark, feminine, free and mysterious to reflect how I feel. I haven't worn something like this in a long time. I wish I could control how I feel about my life right now the same way I control the way I dress... I wish I had the confidence to defy my feelings at the moment but.. social conventions and my own personality traps me.

Vintage dress is worn today with Stanwell's Miss Charming purfume

Today I wore this beautiful vintage dress for my friend's 25th birthday, I love my friend Anna so much, she is one of my best friends and we celebrated it with a big German dinner.

I was also contacted by Stanwells, a Designer Clothing Boutique from London, to review some of their perfumes they stock. They sent me a range so I tried Juliette has a Gun's 'Miss Charming' perfume today, as its crisp floral scent I thought went well with my outfit.

"The perfume of a virgin witch, docile and provocative, elegant and sensual. At first glance, the miss appears rather innocent.
But don't trust your intuition...If she's a rose, don't forget she got spines. A fragrance that makes up ingenuousness and lucidity.
Main ingredients: Moroccan rose, Musks and wild fruits."
Juliette has a Gun - Miss Charming perfume

This was the beautifully written verse on the card, and I thought it fitted my personality well. This fragrance is floral, and girly, but you can tell it had an edge to it. I also went onto the Stanwells website, and found some fantastic designer clothing - Sass and Bide and Nobody denim to name a few. It also does free delivery worldwide!


And furthermore, I apologize for my lack of involvement in the blogging world lately. I have been busy with work this past week, but I shall get back into normal swing soon. I still love you, my fellow bloggers. Send me a tweet!


Much love~

Hi all! I hope everyone has had a good week. I am following up them awesome blogs!

I got some inspiration last night, David Letterman's show was on, and the beautiful Sarah Jessica Parker was interviewed. True to her fashionable form, she wore a bright outfit - bright pink tailored flare pants, with a red silk blouse. Super bright, but super cute. When I woke this morning it was bright and sunny, so I took advantage of the weather and the fact that its spring. 

This is my tribute to her, sky high heels and bright fun colours! It also helps that I'm actually in the middle of re-watching Sex and the City season 3 on DVD, one of my favourite TV shows. I'm making my boyfriend watch it too.

Thanks also for the support for my horrid phone bill experience. Still waiting on the 12th of September to call Three network again, wish me luck!

Now I'm off to spend my Friday night with my bestest friends in the city! Just like in the TV show, huzzah!

Have a fantastic weekend~

Hi all! Thank you again for all you comments. So sweet. And I suddenly hit over 80 comments on my last post. I'm so stoked, love you all!

Today I wear my favourite DIY skirt. I bought the fabric locally because I fell in love with it completely. It had a metallic shine with a rough finish but its certainly unique. And for the skirt block, I followed an old skirt block from my old Fashion Design course, then added a pretty ruffle at the waist. Do you guys like it?

Oh and good news, my best friend just got engaged! I'm so happy for her!

I am also Maid of honour. I'm absolutely looking forward to getting her trashed for her hens night, helping her pick out her wedding dress, and help her stick to her "wedding" diet. The joys of being a Maid of Honour. I also will carry around around some chocolate just in case she gets stressed, haha.

Tonight, I had a nice dinner with girls in the city to celebrate her engagement. I dressed simply but of course I add my own style to it. Did you also notice I did my hair? I am not very happy with it, but I will fix it with my colour shampoo. My pick: De lorenzo 'Rosewood' color shampoo. Makes my blonde hair beige over a few days.  

Have a nice week everyone~ !
