Oh so boho

Keeping with the theme of boho, I had a party last night- Ice skating... As fun as it sounds.. Yes I stacked, it. But instead of going in something boring I decided to give myself a theme to dress as so a type of clothing style. I decided to go with boho/ indian princess from the Disney movie. What's her name... Pocahontas.

I have a cute jacket with tassels from cotton on it was on sale at BOWRAL for $10.00 ! BARGAIN

And with that I wore black jeans, and a black singlet top.. which you can find from any clothing retailer.

AND

My Bag from Valleygirl- last season stock-sale...

AND

I matched my make up with natural shades, of browns and tans, with brown eyeliner, and bronzer.!

boho bracelets

Finally! I have invested in some decent boho style bracelets...

I am always in the shops looking at all the styles but I never have the guts to buy myself any-or money.

But today I decided differently...

Most of these bracelets are from Diva or Equip.

Starting from the right:

Diva- Wooden Bracelet- Pack with the reds, and green(on right) $10.00

Equip- The Leather band with the Aqua next to it and all the gold bracelets $3.00

Light green was when I was a child...

Diamond bracelet- As a gift...

Although all these bracelets are so thick... Wearing them either to the beach- or chilling with your friends ..

Its an easy way to accessories... some people don't like it- but its a cute way of expressing yourself..

And if your a DIY girl.. you can make your own- which I will be doing soon

the little yellow jacket

WINTER WONDERLAND

I Lay-byed this today, from Target. It is a beautiful mustard yellow, with three buckles and a 'fake' fur hoodie, gorgeous if I was to ever travel to Europe... I must say with a gorgeous pair or dark jeans, and boots with a long sleeved top, and this jacket would make the perfect outfit for a cold winters day.

AND TO TOP IT OFF it was on SALE: from $69 down to $55, Bargain i'd say...
Anyway now I have to wait until next month so I can get it out....It will be worth it...

THE NEXT LEVEL

So, a few and a half posts ago we mentioned the waterfall braid, over the weeks I have been practicing on all my friends hair trying to do the perfect waterfall braid...

I attempted several waterfall braids-

One on my mothers hair, tied into a bun. This was quite difficult due to the fact mum couldn't sit still. I have come to the conclusion though that it is better whilst your doing it, to have someone hold all the strands that fall down, as it tightens the braid along the way.

Hair: My mother

- The other waterfall braid was in my own hair, and oh my gosh I loved it and so many people complemented me on how unusual and different it looks. Basically its two waterfall braids interlaced. I know what your thinking- How on earth do I do that! Patience is the key, and tightening.
As your slowly doing the first braid (the one higher), keep the strands between your pinky and thumb, whilst using your other fingers to braid... When doing the second row, only grab the pieces that were pulled through from the upper braid... If I was to do this on someone else, it wouldn't work - I BRAID OPPOSITE STYLES ON MY HAIR COMPARED TO EVERYONE ELSES! -weird I know...

Anyway. This is the update on waterfall braiding- over the next few weeks different waterfall braids will be updated and posted

A royal green emerald look

Really loving this jacket, such a perfect choice for such a day.

Quote of the Week.

Discoveries

<3 new dicoveries...

So I always want to know how people managed to have these perfect hair buns, then a friend enlightened me to how it was done.

Link

This weird looking thing is called a bun enhancer, it looks strange but it is genius and so cheap, I bought mine for $3.50 and Gloss. It worked wonders especially for me cause I have such thin hair so now instead on this tiny stupid looking bun on my head. Using this enhancer simply gives volume giving it a modern and city look. My hair looks like this, when it is up in a bun. It is also a quick way to put your hair up for work.

IT IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. Add a bit of silver into the inner corner of your eye.

5. With a tissue dampen it and mix the colours that have past your eye.

Beaching it'

Are you having hot weather like Sydney today?

Going to go for a dip in the pool,

but your sick of wearing the same bikini

MIX AND MATCH!

It goes with out saying, you can mix anything up if you have a bit of inspiration and courage.

You can easily mix these two full pieces around, and still give an amazing look. Add it with a sun hut, and some sunnies and you can be hitting up Bondi Beach!

Express yourself !

Don't wear boring swimmers that you wear everywhere

Solution: Invest in a simple black or white bottoms and add a coloured top.

Result: An amazing look that you can change around with any other bikinis you have lying around.

These pants are the perfect type for someone who would love a solid top to draw attention away from the bust, paired with a yellow, red or blue top would look beautiful!

A MUST HAVE!

School life over.

And to think in two terms.. we would be finished school.

Out in the open world, shopping more, working more; (hopefully blogging more!)

The thing that gets me, is all those years where we didn't have to take life so seriously or we didn't have to rely on ourselves to do everything, our parents were always there to help us... Thats slowly going.

Soon it will be just yourself, standing there with a future ahead of you, you won't know what to do or who to be, and you will have to find yourself again as you did in junior school...

Wow time flies....
