Aw man. You guys are real lucky today that the internet doesn't have smell-o-vision. Life tip: don't wear a wig to a party. Someone managed to pour cask wine all over it. Now it doesn't smell too nice. I really wanted to wear it for this outfit though, so I put it on anyway. Now I've pretty much ruined the outfit for anyone reading this with that disgusting story... Sorry about that haha. So, uh, can someone tell me how to wash synthetic wigs??? Shampooing it seems wrong, and I don't want to wreck the curls...

Sneaky Collars & New Hair

Look what I did to my hair!
It's so normal! Dark brown. Dark, normal looking brown. What the what. I am glad I didn't go to the hairdresser for this, even after they were all "It'll go green if you try and dye it brown over your pink!" HA! No it won't. It'll just go a nice dark brown. I am already worried that it's too boring, however I am soon to be the owner of three coloured wigs so that should hopefully satiate my need for crazy hair for at least a little while.
So this outfit features a very sneaky collar trick. I got this blouse and this dress and put them together with a little bow clip that I made and I think they go together really nicely. What do you think?

It was such lovely weather today that I went for a super long walk all the way to the next town, in this outfit (sans wig). An old lady (probably about 70 or so) dressed in a beanie and a raincoat (it was hot and there weren't any clouds in the sky, but hey) stopped me on my walk and said "I just needed to tell you, you look really chic. Your whole ensemble is really chic." and then walked off. Which was just super cute and nice. I love it when random people who would wouldn't think would have any interest in fashion go out of there way to tell you that you look nice, it never fails to make my day. So I decided that I am going to go out of my way to compliment random people on their outfits in the future (and hopefully won't seem like a massive creeper whilst doing so).

Okay, so now I have to do 314018752 assignments for uni. If I'm not around here much in the next week, that's where I'm at.
Hope you're all having a nice Wednesday :)

Dress design competition - please vote for me!


Hello all! I decided to try out designing some dresses to enter them in a dress designing competition held by Ra Ra Superstar. The winner will have their dress made and sold in stores! Which would be so, so, so super dooper exciting. If one of my designs won, you could even buy the dress and then say "hey! I know the girl who designed this dress, how cool am I?" Awesome, right? (Although I'm sure this won't happen because a lot of the other drawings are much better than mine, but hey, I may as well try.)
Please vote for me (find the links below the photos)! The design that gets the most "Likes" on facebook will win!

Here's the three designs I entered (and please excuse my terrible illustrations):

If enough people vote my dresses as their favourite, then one of these dresses will exist in real life. Please go and vote for me (and don't vote for anyone else ;) ), because it would be so incredible to win. I'm sure I'll be spamming you all about this until the competition closes. I love you guys ;)

I don't know why it's taken me so long to acquire an item of clothing with a printed photograph on it. If you follow my Make Believe Wardrobe, you will know that I've been pretty obsessed with printed clothes for quite some time. This dress is no exception - I am so obsessed. As well as this one, Romwe has a whole bunch of body-con dresses with photographic prints and artworks that I'm pretty sure will be in my wardrobe soon - particularly these two amazing things:
(dresses here and here)

It is actually my dream to be rich and own a factory that can print out photos onto fabric and clothes, and own a fashion label/design clothes... ahh... one day...
