First Date Hair, MakeUp And Outfit..

I went on a first date last night and I actually took photos and recorded a clip to show you!!

I think this is the best I've felt in a long time so I was uber confident. 

First I did my makeup..

Then my hair..

Then put my skirt and shoes on..

And here's the video..

Stella McCartney OOTD & FOTD

As the title says, I'm wearing my Stella McCartney for Target gold sequin knitted jumper dress over leggings.

I paired it with snakeskin Rubi Shoes sandals because of the blister I got the night before.

Don't mind the mess in the background, this was the day after we moved house.

 

"Hey Rainbow"

That is what my brother has been saying to me all afternoon. 

It could have something to do with my dress..

After I Got Home, Before I Went Jogging.

After I Got Home

Before I Went Jogging.

A Girly Kind Of Day..

These flowy maxi skirts are very feminine in my eyes, even when they're in khaki or black!

I love matching them with big gypsy earrings, a basic top and patterned flats. 

You can't tell by these photos (taken on my MacBook) but I'm wearing leopard print ballet flats.

To make the outfit even more simple chic, I wore my hair up and curled back my fringe and side bits.

Add some neutral blush, earthy lipstick and nude-gold eyeshadow and you have a five min glam look.

Outfit Of The Day.

This isn't exactly NEW but hey, why not post it anyway.

It's a few weeks old. No makeup, nothing special. 

I'm wearing a vintage knit maxi skirt, Supre basic long sleeve top and some ballet flats.

Is it just me or can nobody else be bothered dressing up on a day-to-day basis in winter?

Outfit/Face Of The Day.. Kinda?

These photos were taken a few weeks ago when I was in the car waiting for my mum.

I'll start off with jewelry.

This scarab ring always reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor. 

I bought it at Forever New and this is definitely the biggest ring I own.

These shoes are also something different in my closet. 

They were bought from Valleygirl and have the most beautiful big rough roses on an ankle strap. 

And I'll finish this post with a standard 'face of the day'.

 I used my CK eyeliner in Black Plum for a lil somethin different.

OOTD, HOTD, FOTD.. Kinda..

Going to the shops with my mum - who else?
My wrist was taking a five minute break from it's bandage and as you can tell by my casual pose, I'm obviously on some AWESOME pain killers. I'll pay for it later though.

Makeup is simple and not clear in my phone pics so I wont bother getting into the items used.

Leopard dress Aaliya left at my house. Think she bought it for $6 - bargain.
Black tights that you can't really see from Big W.
Tan leather skull flats from Tony Bianco.

I'm not wearing any jewelery due to the fact that my room is still looking like a bomb shelter. Instead of buying new stuff to put in there, shouldn't I organize the stuff I already have???!!
... Naaaahhhh. Where's the fun in that? ;)

Oh, can you tell that my hair is no longer grey?

OOTN - Friday.

As you all know, last night was my first date with "Italia". We went out for dinner on Lygon Street and I had a great night. He picked me up at 7.15 (I like a man who's early) and he took me home at midnight.

We went to dinner then we went for a drive through the city. We ended up on St Kilda beach and I took off my heels and walked up to my ankles in the water. I felt like the lady in the fountain in La Dolce Vita with my blonde hair and black dress. He thought I was crazy but admitted that if he wasn't wearing jeans and sneakers he would have came in too.

I think I'll definitely hang out with him again but after last night I want to concentrate on Richard Gere. It's nice to know I have options but I want to stick to one path and not stuff it up by being indecisive and playing the field.

Yesterday Seems So Long Ago.

At the bus stop waiting to go to the mall.
No makeup, I know.

Then lastnight I decide to put my face on.

My brother took a "myspace" angle of my full outfit.

New skirt that I bought yesterday at Valleygirl
New top from Supre factory Outlet

My brother and I on a typical "Myspace" angle.

First Date FOTD And Outfit.

Last Sunday 'Richard Gere' and I went on our first date.
He didn't outright call it a date. He just said that he needed to go to G Star to buy his niece a pair of jeans for her 15th birthday and would I like to come along. After I said yes, he told me that he was planning to take me for lunch and shopping for myself as well.

When I was getting ready I was all over the place. My fake tan was coming off in areas that I couldn't hide like my forearms and the front of my legs (my shins).
I had this gorgeous full body tan and then a big patch of skin about 2 or 3 shades lighter than my tan just sitting there staring at me. It definitely looked like I had a skin disease where you lose pigmentation.

Just my luck it wasn't cold enough to wear pants and a long sleeve top so I decided that the upper body was more important to cover and my legs wouldn't be as likely to be seen by him and everyone else walking past me.

WRONG.

After lunch we went outside to get some fresh air and he cornered me with the question all girls with a dodgy spray tan dread:
"I don't wanna be rude and I don't want you to be shy but why do you paint yourself?"

I paused for a moment and then it hit me. "Ahhh, you mean why did I get a spray tan?" I replied.

"Yes, your skin is so nice usually but now you can see that it's coming off and it's obvious that it's fake." He so observantly remarked.

I then went on to tell him that Aaliya is learning to spray tan and I volunteered to be her model just to help her out. Which was a total load of bullshit mind you, but what else was I meant to say? Was I meant to admit that I'm usually lilly white under these clothes and that I wanted to look like a European goddess with an all year round glow? Was I meant to tell him that my cellulite isn't as bad when it's tanned? Or maybe that the stretch marks on my hips aren't half as visible when I wear a cut off singlet if they are 'painted' over?
A split second decision and some good bluffing on my behalf made something awkward into something plausible.

Sometimes a lie is way better than the truth - for both parties.


This photo was before I completely blended in my blush - as you can tell.

And blended.
