Update: Trip to DFO ft. Julia && new purchases

So today, had tennis training in the morning, and tried my best to beat my coach, but failed. :P

Anyhoo, got home and changed, then went to pick up Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) to go to the DFO ( direct factory outlet ) shopping centre. (: It has the cheapest crap there ever. ;P And you can pick up really nice bargains there. Oh this reminds me, I really want to go thrift shopping sometime soon. Anyways.

So we basically walked around, mainly went to our favourite stores. And I bought a pair of black cheap shorts from Cotton On since my old black shorts are starting to wear out and turning grey. It was only $5. I think it was really worth it. Tried it on in the store OVER my shorts, because couldn't be bothered to go to the changing rooms. Got many strange stares...

I tried taking a photo of them when I got home, but the lighting was horrible, and it just looked black and you couldn't see the details of the shorts.

They're really flattering, and they have this belt fabric thing that you can tie into a bow at the front. I'm so horrible at explaining, but I think you'll be seeing these in a outfit of the day post soon. :D On the tag, it says : 'Alison Tailored Shorts'. Love them already even though haven't worn them yet. (:

Oh nearly forgot, on a side note, I've already ripped my stockings, so going to get a new pair because they were really comfy. (:

Okay, so another item I got from Cotton On is a black tube/bodycon skirt. I know I bought a lotta black stuff, but really into the colour black at the moment. (: This skirt is kinda different, it's really texturised and everything. (: Didn't take a picture because of horrible lighting. Probably will see this in my outfits as well. (:

So for lunch, had this extremely filling asian cuisine thing. It was really nice though! Couldn't finish it sadly, and was really bloated afterwards.

Afterwards, headed to Westfield with Julia once again, because we ran outta things to get from DFO and wanted to get Boost Juice.

Also went to Dymocks with Julia, and she picked out some books, and I picked out a book which is a sequel to 'Bloodlines' which is so so good. And haven't read in a quite a while, and it was on sale. (:

The Golden Lily - Richelle Mead

Not much to say now, but thanks for reading! (:

Update: Obsession with Hats && New Jackets

So today, woke up kinda early for a Saturday, but just stayed in bed for an hour playing 'Pocket Planes' and 'Tiny Tower' on my iPod til I got up. (: It was pretty fun, just lying there. I could see the sun coming up through the curtains. Made my day.

Anyhoo, changed and went out to go grocery shopping with my family. Also grabbed some items.

I was looking for really sheer leggings/stockings or whatever you call them. :P Just got a cheap one from Woolies for half the price you would get at a retail store. It's probably going to rip soon, but ah wells.

I have a new found obsession with hats. Firstly I was obsessed with beanies, and really desperately wanted a black one. Got one and so happy with it. After that one dies I'm getting a thicker one that's not so floppy. ;) That's what she said. Anyhoo, today, I wore a hat I had for some time but only wore once which is featured in my post : http://ilikestarryskies.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/michelles-style-300612.html. Honestly, I have this temptation to take that post down because the outfit is just so boring and I don't like it that much. ;P

Oh and then today, found a $5 hat at Jayjays in the sale section. So happy with it. It's this wide brimmed black fedora hat with this ribbon bow thing. It's so nice. (: And it would help with keeping the sun outta my face AND keep my hair down when it's windy. It's winter here, but it's still amazingly sunny but chilly. :P If that makes any sense at all.

Was originally $29.99. ;D Good bargain. :D

It feels weird when I'm not wearing a hat, but yeah. (: Really into hats at the moment.

ALSO, I was eyeing a Varsity jacket in Kmart for a really long time, which is red and blue schemed. And it sold out in a week. And the price was pretty good - $19. And when it sold out, it made me sad, so I gave up finding another one, til my mum found one last week. And she took me to the store this week and BAM. There it was. So this time definitely bought it, because second chances are hard to come by. ;) Convinced my sister also to get one, but she didn't like the colour red so she got a grey and black schemed one. Personally I reckon the red and blue looks nicer. ;) I AM GOING TO PERSONALISE IT. ;D ♥

Anyhoo, not much to say, oh and sorry for not taking a picture with the jacket, forgot to. ):

Planning to go to DFO with my mum and Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) tomorrow to go shopping together. Initially, we planned that Julia would come over like last week ( post here : http://ilikestarryskies.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/update-lord-of-rings-ft-julia-homemade.html ) to finish off the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. But then changed plans just a couple of hours ago.

Oh, and it's finally the holidays! I'm so glad, means I can do a lot more things that I couldn't do when I had school because it was way to stressful to cram in all the stuff I would like to do.

And one of them is to blog more. It feels so nice to blog fully again, and that would explain my rambling. I should shut up now. (:

Thanks for reading!

Update: Post-Exam Shopping ft. Julia

Hi,

So since it's after exams Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) and I actually went shopping. We planned this before exams so we would have something to look forward to after exams - sorta like a treat to ourselves, if you know what I mean. ;)

We went to a super large Westfield and went to heaps of stores which most were on mid-year sales. Was really really fun! I was really excited the night before. I actually made a list of what I wanted to get, and I got some things from it. One thing I really wanted was a black beanie, but considering I had gotten a lot of things already, I didn't. But I will get one later. But still really want one. (:

For lunch, had curry chicken with rice, it was kinda cheap with the water - $6.90. (:

Not much to add, but made some hot chocolate afterwards and picked up my sister from school. (: Oh and check out her blog here: http://yukiblood.blogspot.com.au/ She's only just started, so no hate. (: ♥

My hot chocolate, sorry about the quality, the camera focused on everything except my hot chocolate. >:(

Took pictures of what I got, which I'm glad I did. (: ♥

So first are two tops I got from this small store called BLUE JADE. If you ever go there, make sure you know what you're getting because no refunds. Personal experience, yall.

Black lace jumper. (: 

Black and white chiffon blouse. This one was kinda pricey - $20. 

Really wanted a denim shirt, and found one in Jay Jays. They didn't have my size, they only had L or XL, and I tried on L, way too large, but I really wanted it, so I'll slightly alter it. (:

Look at how massive it is. ;P

And last but not least, got two pairs of badass looking earrings. Was looking for spiked necklaces, but I really wanted these. Plus, they were on 50% sale. (: Both were from Colette accessories.

Sorry again about the quality - used my sister's phone and it didn't focus well. ): 

All in all, I'm still looking for a black beanie since it is getting kinda cold and my head needs some warmth and luurrrrveee. ;) I definitely need to continue and finish my quote post which I'm finding kinda difficult to write since I have no idea how to elaborate on it, but hopefully it'll be up soon. (:

Have a great one!

Love,
Michelle x

Update: STOP SPENDING.

Okay, haven't updated in a while, I admit. I have been quite busy, but I will be getting back with more posts...no promises though. ♥

So starting from Saturday, I went to Chinese school. This was actually my first lesson since this term since I couldn't go last week, since I had a badminton competition with Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ). ♥

Chinese school was alright. Changed classrooms, nothing new. Went shopping afterwards though. And yes, I really should stop buying crap. I'm going to TRY and stop buying stuff for about 2 months and see how I go. Besides food though. Love that stuff. ♥

Since I'm a member in Priceline, which is freeeeee to join, I got some vouchers in the mail. You get one every term if you get over 100 points. (: So I went to use some of my vouchers. (:

Ran out of makeup remover so went and got more. And there was a voucher for this hairspray, but even if I don't use it much, I still got it. (: I also went to Chemist Warehouse, since it's much much much cheaper there, and got lip balm, moisturiser and these nail stickers that were on half price.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturiser for combination skin
Simple Eye Make-up remover
NIVEA Essential Care Lipbalm
Sally Hansen SALON effects Real Nail Polish Strips in '350 Misbehaved' 

So today, had tennis training in the morning which was pretty good. (: The weather was alright, I kinda miss summer, but enjoying the sunshine right now. ♥ Love the sun. Wish I could hug it, but then I would burn to ashes. ♥

Went to a restaurant for lunch, but didn't take photos, sorry. Also got a pair of black over the knee socks. Ohmygod, love them so much. ♥ Going to get a lotta wear outta those babies. ♥

Loreal PARIS Elnett Satin Hairspray Normal Strength
Over the Knee HI socks. ♥

There's this history assignment on which you have to interview a migrant woman, and I actually interviewed my mum. We do this in pairs, but we happened to choose my mum. No idea why. Lol. So filmed it and everything and have to edit it soon. Also have a crapload of homework - maths, japanese, science, and english work to do. Not to mention tutoring and Chinese school homework. Oh the life of a student. HAHA, that makes me imagine what I would say when I'm older, HAHA.

Anyhoo, that was kinda random at the end, but thanks for reading! Shall definitely make an effort to post more. ♥

Love,

Update: Photo Booths & Another Beauty Haul

Today, stayed at home for a while to do my maths notes, before heading out with my parents for lunch. (:

We went to the mall to get a few things at Coles and I picked up this really cheap beauty pack from Rimmel. (: At Kmart, got a nail polish remover since I ran out a couple of days ago.

Sally Hansen Acetone-Free Polish Remover
Rimmel London Volume Flash Mascara x10
Rimmel London Kajal Kohl Eyepencil in Jet Black

At the mall, there was a stall of free samples of the new Nescafe 3 in 1 coffee and they had a photo booth and you could go for free. (: Took a cup, and queued up, and went with my mum. Got some free sachets as well. They were really good. ♥ The photos were really good as well. (: Two strips were printed out. Gave one to my mum. ♥

School is starting soon. One more day tomorrow, and that's it. ): So sad, the holidays passed by so quickly. Felt like yesterday, I was sitting in the coach at New Zealand. I miss that place. </3

Anyhoo, not much to add, but thanks for reading!

Update: The Art of Spending Money

This morning, wrote up some maths notes, and got a bit bored, so I ended up drawing one of my sister's favourite anime characters; Haku from the Naruto series. Here's how it looks:

It was on lined paper lol. 

Had to get more travel supplies, so got cotton buds. And since I was out of my make up remover, got a bottle of that as well. I've used about 3 bottles of those already, so good! ♥  

Swisspers cotton tips, and Simple Kind to Eyes Make up Remover. 

My mum bought some things from Clinique, so I tagged along and got myself sample of their cleanser so I can take some for camp. And a gift set came with the purchases, and I got this. (: You might recognise the bag from this post: http://ilikestarryskies.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/update-whats-in-my-beauty-bag.html except the lining's purple. (:

Decided to make the brownies next week, since I'll be going to camp soon, and might not finish them in time. Also bought some hot cross buns today, best things ever!!  ♥  ♥  Besides sausage rolls of course. ;P

Anyhoo, have school tomorrow, and sport; cycling. Shall be interesting. ;D Have an orthodontist appointment on Tuesday, might be getting braces soon, yay.

That's about it for today! ♥

Update: Lucky Dip Magazine?

Yesterday, had Chinese school in the morning which was cool. I went to go grab some stuff afterwards.

Went to Sportsgirl, which happened to be having a 15 % off discount everything in store, and bought an emery board since my other one broke. ):

DOLLY magazine is having a time where you don't know what's with the mag inside. They come in a silver plastic bag, and you can't see what's in it, and basically they're calling it a 'lucky dip'. Heh. I bought one, and this is what I mean by silver:

What you can get. (:

What I got with the mag; a poster book, and an eyeliner. 

Won't be reading the mag, and instead will bring it to camp, so I can read it before I go to bed. How fun. ;P

Anyhoo, also got bobby pins since I ran out.

Pricey, but the best ones you can get! <3

Bought some Eclipse breathmints as well, since I know I'll be eating heaps at camp. ;D

Might make brownies today, shall have a separate post on that soon. Also might post about what I'm bringing to camp, and for the record, I haven't packed yet, lol.

Thanks for reading,
