Ive got a few personal updates to talk about, now that the majority of viewers after my photography can be directed to either my tumblr, or my website. (Links to the right).
I like to be somewhat organised, so heres what i will be talking about:
1. Winter attire
2. Connie from K is for Kani
3. Curlformers
4. Party
5. Dagi vs Dagi (P501, P503, P504, P601)
Im currently loving anything high wasited, or tucked in. It just makes everything SO comfortable! I dont think ive worn my jeans AT ALL in the past few months.
Sorry this photo isnt edited or colour corrected at all!! This burgundy cardigan was not cheap, but ive been wearing it heeeaps. If i divide the price, by the number of times ive worn it, it works out to be around around $10... this makes me feel a slightly better about justifying the price. Its definitely my favourite cardi.
You cant really see my shirt, but i got it at a vintage stall at the market for about 5 bucks. My tights are also new, from southland!
Heres me wearing vintage. I picked up this vintage shirt for 5 bucks at the opshop near my uni. I didnt even try it on, i just bought it hoping it would fit! I had seen a mustard jumper in the window the day before, but someone bought it before i could get to it! So i got this instead. Im really happy with it, even though i have a very similar shirt in chiffon with a pussy bow. The cardigan (not shown) is vintage from a market, and ive never found an opportunity to wear until now! My boots are also vintage off ebay for $10 including shipping, but the laces broke and the soles fell off, so after all the repair they probably cost me more like $50. But i dont mind because i really love these boots and ive been wearing them everywhere! They are SO comfy with socks. The sheer flower tights are also new, from the same place in southland!
I guess im interested in vintage at the moment, cause of my friend Connie, who runs a vintage fashion blog,
K is for Kani
All photos are edited :)
We were walking around the park with bags of clothes... it was really freaking heavy and clumsy! And the ground was muddy :( I hate mud. But i got some great shots so it was worth it. I gotta say Connie is one the most funny, cute, down to earth and humblest people ever.
Bubble magic :) Thats my vintage shirt that Connie is wearing! Im also wearing it in the very first photo of this post. The cloche hat is also mine :) Everyone loves it. I find its the best thing to wear when i havent done my hair.
Curlformers are what ive been using to curl my hair lately! Everyone who knows me knows im always looking for new ways to style my hair without heat. I got these curlers off ebay, and they werent cheap but they work well. Ill sum up my findings in bullet points:
Pros:
- THEY WORK!!!!
- The curls turn out PERFECTLY defined every single time
- Heat free
- Hair feels soft and healthy, not wiry or frizzy (like you get with heated curlers)
Cons:
- They are not easy to put in and take awhile
- Putting them in can sometime hurt because the hair snags
- They take quite a long time to dry (usually minimum 3-4 hours, i sleep in mine)
- Without hairspray, they drop quite quickly
- These are NOT comfortable to sleep in!
I have quite thick hair, so mine takes ages to dry. Ive been sleeping in these and taking them out the next morning. They force me to get out of bed as soon as i wake up because i cant stand the discomfort! I get very tight, bouncy ringlets, which drop by the end of the day if i leave them, or i use a water spray to soften them into waves. I try not to use hairspray as i find this makes them feel dry and wiry.
I might post a photograph of the results in a later post.
I didnt get any photographs from Razans bday at Bridey O'Reileys because i didnt bring my camera (really regret that, i wish i had brought it!), but i took my camera to Aidans and got some funny shots. Mostly of Aidans disgusting beard being shaved off bit by bit.
Heres a cool photo i took of the streamers some guys from the party tied from one end of the street, to the other end of the street. Then we watched as cars slowed down and got confused. Hehehe.
Lastly, Im getting a Dagi stylus for my ipad, so i can take better notes in class than my crappy homemade aluminium stylus. Just which model to get remains the question.... I shan't put my whole rant here, but look out for a review later on! But i think im gonna get P601, and P504. I just want P504 to come with a lid, otherwise it looks so fragile :S
