Outfit – Silver & Black Milk

First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who commented on my previous post, hearing that i’m not the only one really helped make me feel better, so thank you!

Last Friday, my niece and I got up early and caught a ride into the city to attend the Black Milk Sample Sale. On the walk over to the venue, who would we run into, but Miss Evie from Work it, Own it, Use it! 5 minutes in the city & I bump into someone I know!

Sharn & I made it to the sample sale venue at 10am, doors to the sale didn’t open until 2pm and we ended up being around 120th in the line. Yes, we did end up waiting around 4 hours! We were in the 3rd batch let in, they let groups of around 50 people in at a time, and we had a 20 minute time limit. Let me tell you, it’s hard scouring through huge mountains of nylon trying to find your dream piece. I’ve learnt that i’m not very good at it.

 I did score these awesome leggings, as well as two bodysuits, everything was $30! I’ve never bought Black Milk leggings before because I honestly did not think that they would fit. My legs aren’t too chunky, but I do have a belly, so looking at their sizing I didn’t want to risk it. It’s a lot of money to pay if they don’t fit.

I’ve heard different things about the BM leggings, that sizing is different in most things due to the material. Some stretch more then others. These are the size L, and they fit good. They are tight and create a bit of a muffin top due to the elastic, but with a tunic, it’s fine. I would also advise to be careful of the print. I know with my dresses that due to the leggings stretching so much, it can cause the image to warp and look a bit odd.

But I’m soooo in love with this outfit now and feel it’s going to be a repeat offender! It’s surprising really comfy and my Mum keeps remarking on how much she likes the leggings on me.

A few pictures from the day, I didn’t end up getting any outfit pics, but I wore my cape & had the designer tell me I was “rocking it”. I tried something a little different with my make up on the day!

Aussie Curves – Leather

leather-01

This weeks Aussie Curves theme is “LEATHER”. I don’t really own many things that are real leather, I much prefer faux leather. The only item that I could think of that I knew 100% was leather are my UNIF hellraisers. So I decided to just do my outfit with faux leather / pleather.

These stockings, along with another pair that i’ll show another time were sent to me from Donatellas. I love them, this is actually the 2nd time i’ve worn them. They are really comfortable. Take note of the sizing though, these are the XXXL and wouldn’t fit anyone with thighs much bigger then mine comfortably. I’m actually going to order THESE next pay.

I probably wear this Sportsgirl necklace WAY too much. It’s one of those necklaces that just seems to go with everything, I always seem to be throwing it in. I’m loving that it’s starting to get cooler so I can start wearing my boots again!

My Ultimate Birthday Wishlist!

 Today marks ONE MONTH til my birthday. Yep, after much discussing with my Mum, then my Dad, a couple of friends, a calculator, I managed to work out I was turning 27! Please tell me I’m not the ONLY one who forgets how old they are!? So here is my crazy epic wishlist full of things I can’t afford. Tis a dreamlist!

birthdayyy

  • THE ULTIMATE BIRTHDAY PACKAGE!! Return tickets to my spiritual homeland, aka New Zealand, to attend the Armageddon Expo with the “You shall not pass” Hobbit tickets. Accommodation for a week. Visits to Weta and some Lord of the Rings tours. Also getting to meet Ezmae! (Optional extras I would not say NO to would include a night with Richard Armitage or Dean O’Gorman).
  • Zana Bayne Leather | ZB stuff  has appeared on my wishlist a few times. I’ve been following Zana online for years and it’s been amazing seeing her get all the success she deserves. Her items are amazing! My top two wishlist items are the CC-Harness – $115 & the Gemini Harness – $210.
  • Noir Sunglasses by Miu Miu | I’d love these is the red, pink, blue or silver glitter. I’ve wanted these glasses forever, so much so, that when you google Miu Miu Noir glasses, or sunglasses, my blogs on the first page, and in the images. I NEED THEM!
  • Giant Dinosaur necklace by Tatty Devine - £135.00 | An item i’ve wanted for what seems like forever. Sadly, the AU$ is crazy. It’s better then it has been, but it still makes the necklace $205au. But isn’t it AMAZING!?
  • Pentagram Ring by Pamela Love - $161 | I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this ring. I don’t mind it in the bronze either, which is $92, oh and course the $1610 diamond version is beautiful!
  •  Buckle up boot by TS14+ - $269.95 | In red! LOVE these! I have one pair of tall boots for winter, oh two if you include a pair that need to re-soled. But the red in these are just fantastic! I’m enjoying wearing red now that I’m no longer pink-haired!
  • Benefit Cosmetics – I love Benefit Cosmetics, I only have 2 full products, but I’ve used a few of their samples, but I love them. A couple of my most wanted products are The porefessional, Watts up, Fake Up & It’s Potent.
  • City Chic Voucher – I’m really liking a few of the items up at CC at the moment. My favourites being THIS one and THIS one. (Oh, and I also wouldn’t say no to ASOS vouchers!)
  • Mouse Ballerina Flats by Marc by Marc Jacobs – $248 | Urgh, seriously, how ridiculously cute are these shoes! I think I may be a bit scared to wear shoes worth this much money though, but hey, at least they are flats, so they would get worn more often!

I also have 2 wishlist boards up on my pinterest, which I update regularly with all my wishy wanty goodness. So make sure you check out my Fashion wishlist & Non fashion wishlist.

I never expect presents, but I do like cards. I grew up being taught to appreciate cards, so cards mean the world to me. I’m pretty easy to buy for though, I love everything. Anything that glitters. Stickers. Shoes. Stationary. Candles. Owls. Fandom (Lord of the Rings, Labyrinth, Doctor Who, to name a few). Jewellery, I’m a silver wearer, but i’ve started wearing gold & I love natural gemstones. Make up. Clothes.

Aussie Curves – Heels

HEEL01

HEELS! I have plenty. I love shoes, I have over 30 pairs & it was hard for me decide what pair to pick for this weeks Aussie Curves challenge. That’s why I had my nephew pick for me!

HEEL04

He chose these cute glitter heels I picked up on sale from Urban Outfitters. They are a great height and I love the effect the diamond like heel creates. I really love the way heels make my legs look, but after fracturing my foot I still find that I can’t wear heels for as long as I used too without a lot of pain. Boo!

HEEL02

I’ve worn an outfit similar to this before on the blog, but hey, I DO repeat outfits, and often. I don’t buy things to only wear once and never again. Though I do enjoy styling things differently and think outside the box at times, I do fall back into ‘old faithful’ combos.

Oh, and the belt i’m wearing is currently on sale for under $6!! Link!
