Michelle's Style | 03.01.13

shirt - internet clothing | shorts - berry B | belt - finkl | cardigan - dotti | shoes - diy converses | bag - gift from friend 

I realised the last time I've done this kind of post was like last year October, so I thought new year, new post. Haha. (: So today, went out with a group of close friends and my sister to watch Life of Pi, WHICH by the way, is really good! Just super depressing haha. Anyways, so dressed super casual and comfy.

So today's weather was rather hot, so dressed accordingly. The top there is actually a hi-neck sleeveless cropped top, so I paired it with these really comfy high waisted shorts. It was also sort of windy so I also threw on a short sleeved cardigan.

As for shoes, omg, I always wear these - black socks with my converses, I don't have to think to much, I just wear them haha.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed, thanks for reading!

DIY: Galaxy Shorts

Finished product

 So the day of my formal, I had exam leave and didn't have to go to school, so I decided to first dye my shorts, so I could paint them on Thursday. The original was this:

From this post: http://ilikestarryskies.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/michelles-style-061012.html

I wanted to dye them black, but I was kind of impatient and rinsed out the shorts too early, but I followed the packet instructions. >:( Anyway, they turned out kind of a deep purple. Hmph.

Didn't want to dye them again, so I just stuck with it.

On Thursday, I painted them. And I actually followed the instructions of this beauty guru, Andreaschoice. OMG, I love her so much, she's so beautiful! ♥ OMG, IT WOULD BE CRAY CRAY IF SHE SAW THIS. IF SHE DOES, THANK YOU SO MUCH, I LOVE YOUUU ! ♥
This was her video:

This is how they turned out, not as nice as I wanted them to, but whatever. :P

Took this at night, so it's actually way brighter and nicer during the day. (: 

And I also wanted to stud the back, but I didn't stud them the way Andrea did hers, mine were a bit more simple. (:

Well, hope you enjoyed this, thanks for reading!

striped jumper - hipster | shorts - from a close friend | bracelets - sportgirl, DOLLY magazine, jayjays | socks - woolies | converses  - spray painted black 

Haven't done one of these posts in a whileeee.

Today's weather was quite cool compared to the recent heatwave, and bit of a shower. So I wore this striped sweater that I bought really recently, it is so comfy and I love it so much. Because I was quite warm in my jumper I didn't want to wear jeans, so I just threw on these shorts that I didn't know I had. They're from my close friend's sister and she gave me a whole lot of clothes about 2 years ago. These shorts are just the standard frayed distressed shorts.

I recently spray painted my converses black because I was so over the blue colour. The paint keeps coming off though >:( grr. So had to add some water repellent thing on it, hope it works!

Super comfy outfit today, nothing much. I want to do a post on three ways to style this jumper, what do you think?

Thanks for reading,

Update: Legacy Day with Starbuckss

So today was Legacy Day and so sold badges and whatnot around the CBD. Didn't sell much though. ):

We got free sandwiches and drinks, etc. Was pretty filling, so after our break went to Hyde Park and laid there. For like....a long time. Took a photo which I thought turned out super nice with Julia's camera. Also bought their $5 badge, to support them. (:

Oh and then we walked to Starbucks. And this was the first time I've ever walked into a Starbucks AND drunk Starbucks. Ever. Got the Mocha Frappeccino and bought this cheap cup. (:

OH, and another side note, became badminton vice captain yesterday, woohoo! ;D No other candidates, was pretty easy. (Y)

Anyways, it's getting late and my coffee is starting to wear off (I have super low tolerance to caffeine, and I'm planning to keep it that way for the time being ;P), so shall update soon. :D

Thanks for reading,

Michelle's Style | 02.09.12

EVIL GLARE HAHAHAHAHA.
shirt - jayjays | leggings - bossini | hat - jayjays | denim shirt - jayjays | bag - colette 

I just realised most of my clothing in this outfit are from jayjays. Anyways, festivals are usually super hot and need to walk a lot, so wanted to wear something relatively breathable and comfy. However, did wear my boots because didn't want to wear converses. ;P Brought my hat with me because it was super sunny, and I'm so glad I brought it, could see everything without squinting, hehe.

You can't see the bracelets I'm wearing here, but they were just silver toned jewellery and this turquoise beaded one that I got for free in a magazine.

Brought my denim shirt just incase it got windy, because the weather has been kinda unpredictable lately.

Anyhoo, hoped you enjoyed, thanks for reading!

Update: Lunch && Spring Festival

So on Saturday, had a Chinese school in the morning, which was pretty cool. Talk to most of the class members now, but they're all younger than me, by a lot... BUT nevertheless, creeping them out is fun. ;D

For lunch, had a really nice sushi bento.

Oh and incase you're wondering, haven't done style posts in a while because I've been planning to do a favourite item along with how to style it, but need to fix the camera first; using my phone camera is getting tedious. Please bear with me. (:

On Sunday, went to a spring festival which was super fun. Also will do a style post on that. (:

There are these spiral potato deep fried stick things, and they're really good, so got one of those almost immediately and shared it with my sister.

Basically walked around, talked to some people and watched shows. (: Was really fun, and loved the sun, it's finally spring! ;D

And happy father's day, I gave my dad a new facial towel because he asked for a new one, and I had a lot of ideas of gifts but then I was like, there's still Christmas and his birthday to go, so I'm saving them for later. ;)

Anyhoo, will go type up my style post now, thanks for reading. (:

Update: The Body Shop Haul.

Yes it's me again. 

Today, after tennis training, walked to Westfield and grabbed takeaway lunch. It was goooood~ 

Chicken with caesar salad

Anyhoo, mum had to go to city and my sister had to ask her to get some stuff for her from the Body Shop, and since my sister and I couldn't go (homework -grr), wrote a list of what we wanted to buy. So I ended up stocking up on a lotta stuff, hehe. 

L-R: tea tree blotting sheets, born lippy strawberry stick lipbalm, pink grapefruit body butter

The Body Shop Tea Tree Blotting Sheets

Can't live without these, and just ran out of them so got THREE, hehe. 

The Body Shop Born Lippy Strawberry Stick Lipbalm

I own the other one, in the pot form, and didn't know they had come out with these. I've already opened it, and it smells exactly like the one I have and it's super duper good, it's even better than the pot one. GRAB THIS.

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Body Butter

I had one that was in the scent Moringa, and to be honest, it's sorta strong and was a bit too moisturising. Got one for normal skin and this one is so so good, smells divine.

Anyhoo, also got some deodorants from Coles, can't be bothered to take photos of those because they're not special, thanks for reading!

5 Beauty Essentials For School

Thought I'd do a different post today, going to talk about cosmetics. The products mentioned in this aren't necessarily what I use everyday for school, but what I would use for school when I want to wear make up to school. (:

L-R, clockwise: tonymoly water jelly tint, maybelline dream matte powder, garnier bb cream, maxfactor masterpiece cream eyeshadow in pearl beige, rimmel extra wow lash mascara

1. Lip stains or Tints: Tony Moly Water Jelly Tint 
Multi-use products really help shorten your time when getting ready, because everyone values sleep, hehe. Just make sure you wash your fingers after using it because you don't want to look like you murdered someone. So you can use this on both lips and cheeks and you can reapply during the day, plus it looks super natural. The one I have here is from a Korean brand and was a cheap one that I found in a cute boutique. It goes on smoothly and apparently has the same shade as the Benefit LipTint as well and it smells amazing. Try it out if you can find it!

2. Powder: Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
This is just to set everything in place since it will be a long day at school, so it's important to make sure your hard work is going to last. If you have dry skin, I guess you can skip this step. Opt for a sheer powder so it looks super natural. The powder I have is really good! Loads of positive reviews online, so try it out!

3. BB cream: Garnier BB Cream
Instead of foundation, I suggest something like this or tinted moisturiser so it lets your skin breathe more. If you need more coverage invest in a concealer because you don't want to cake up. BB cream is all the craze now since they hydrate, prime and give coverage as well. The one I have now is alright, it's probably nicer for people with drier skin types. (:

4. Cream eyeshadows: Maxfactor Masterpiece Cream Eyeshadow
Well, I always skip this step but using a cream shadow will shorten your time in getting ready as well since it's a multipurpose product. I use this as a highlighter in the inner tearducts, and also to highlight the high points of my face; bridge of your nose, cheekbones and cupids bow. Really makes a difference! If you don't want to use cream, maybe go for a champayne powder eyeshadow. They both work well. The one I have here is really shimmery, I usually use powder but this is waterproof and super long lasting. (:

5. Mascara: Rimmel Extra WOW Lash Mascara
One of my staples. Really opens your eyes. If you have short lashes like me, I suggest using an eyelash curler beforehand. It also helps if you use a waterproof formula, but I honestly find that super hard to remove, but the results are super nice. The one I'm using now is alright, smudges on my outer corners so just waiting to finish this one up before purchasing another. I recommend Maybelline mascaras because they're cheaper and better. (:

I hope this helped people! (: It felt nice to blog about more girly subjects I suppose, so maybe I'll post more of these! (:

Thanks for reading,

Update: Unhealthy Lunch Feast & Purchased Items

Hello,

Had chinese school today, and teacher couldn't make it because her car broke down so didn't have a teacher, woohoo. So didn't do any work whatsoever, and I just sat outside with classmates and talked. Told them lotsa stories, hehehehe. They're all younger than me so it was nice to hear really childish things :3.

Anyhoo, was starving at lunch, no idea what brought that on, but got a lotta stuff. Bought sushi and ricepaper rolls then also had some cheesecake and mocha. To be honest, the mocha was super bitter so might get the iced one next time...if there's a next time. ;) 

Hehehehehe, such a fulfilling lunch. ♥ Regrets? None. MUAHAHAHAH. I'm so guilty. T.T

Anyhoo, bought couple of things that I needed, facial wipes and this gel spot thing. PRICELINE OPENED AGAIN, SO GLAD. 

L-R: simple cleansing facial wipes ; neutrogena 2-in-1 fight & fade spot gel

Will be having more posts up soon, just took a lotta photos for them, since the lighting is soooooo nice as seen in the above photo. Another reason why I love summer - amazing lighting for photos. ♥

Shall speak soon; have tutoring now, will blog it soon.

Update: Swimming & Old Photos

Today was the last day for 40 hour famine, thank god, was feeling weak, sleepy and dizzy at this point, and had tennis training in the morning. Even though didn't eat anything, somehow had the energy in the beginning....but then felt super duper tired at the end. But nevertheless, craved to go swimming all of a sudden, so packed bags and went to Olympic Aquatic Centre, and swum for about 1.5 hours?

Horrible photo, hhahahaha! 

Found these photos that I took last weekend, that I was supposed to blog about, no idea why I didn't.

On Saturday, mum got this $3 cheesecake from Gloria Jeans with a purchase of coffee. This HAS to be one of the best cheesecakes I've ever tried, but they are just so expensive (without the promotion :P). 

On Sunday, went to Kmart, grabbed couple of cheap T-Shirts and also snagged this cheap $2 nail kit? It's smaller than it looks, the length of your pinky. ;P It's super handy, and cute. 

Completely pigged myself out today, just ate a lot after my time was up. :D Felt so goooooooood. Last night, was watching my family eat delicious hot food for dinner in front of me. D:

Have a lotta tests/assignments coming up this week, gotta study!

Thanks for reading!

Update: Cute Kitties & Dinnerrrr~

Look at this cute kitty at the pet store. Edited for extra cuteness. :3

♥

So for dinner yesterday ( Saturday ), met up with family friends and went out to a local Peking Duck restaurant. I personally love peking duck, and I used to have it rarely when I was younger. So to eat it, brings back a lot of positive memoriess.

Sorry for the quality of these photos, didn't bring my phone with me, only my iPod. So the camera isn't that good.

Thanks for looking at the photos ;D
