Acting Like A Grown-Up

The title of this look is basically due to the fact that I am not wearing baby blue/pink/pastels or my wig, or my hat, or a twirly skirt. I'm definitely stepping out of my comfort zone here! I'm dressed all grown-up-like. Well. As much as I possibly can. I still had to wear silly tights, of course (grown-up silly tights). wearing sweater - $10 store on George St shirts - Vintage tights - c/o Oasap necklace - c/o Oasap skirts - Vintage shoes - Raben Footwear belt - Vintage bag - Vintage I really have been meaning to post a DIY on sweater clips as well, by the way, for all of you who have been waiting. I started the DIY and everything! And then I broke one of the clips. Unfortunately, they were my only clip-on earrings, so you're all going to have to wait for that tutorial, as the thrift stores have been oddly low on clip-on earrings as of late... (I swear that I used to see 100 billion pairs all the time and now I can't find them anywhere! Why!)

I Love You To Bits

These are some darn sweet tights. I really wanted tights with writing on them, but I was a bit worried about getting them because of the photo - to me it looked like they said "Bheave girl have isot arette egrobiovmlw favenhu..."  (no kidding. Look at the product listing here. What?) But they're not gibberish at all! They're so sweet, on the front they say "You have been the only one for me. Life is not worth living without you. I love you to bits". D'awwwww. (I think if I were single I would have been vomiting, but I've become a seriously hopeless ball of mush whenever I see anything lovey-dovey now. It's so gross.) wearing dress - c/o Oasap Fine and Dandelion Cardigan - c/o Modcloth necklace - c/o Oasap tights - c/o Oasap socks - c/o Shop With Romi belt - Vintage bag - c/o Wholesale hat - c/o Wholesale shoes - Raben Footwear Also, isn't my new header nice? The super lovely Kailey from Mermaidens designed it for me! I hope you're all having a beautiful day!

Chictopia's "Back To Cool" Sale!

(I love a good pun.) My blog and I are partnering up with Chictopia this month for their "Back to Cool" sale, happening from today until the 25th of September at the Chictopia shop! I've chosen a few items which are very back-to-school (or... yes, cool) worthy. While I'm glad that I don't have to go back to (high) school, I think I'd probably like it a bit better had I been able to wear these beautiful things. I had the most horrible mustard-and-maroon, shapeless, unflattering uniform for school. Which I had to wear EVERY. DAY. Anyway. Here are three back-to-school looks, the first one is made up of sale items from the Back To Cool Sale, and the other two are just some more pretty Chictopia shop items to help get you inspired. I am hoping to get some sale items myself (and wear them to uni! That's basically school, right? ...I'm still cool, right??): cardigan | dress | shoes   dress | bag | shoes   dress | clips | sunnies Go and check out the sale! And I'll be back here in a couple of weeks showing off the items I got! Much love,

Peachy Keen, Tangerine!

wearing dress - ASOS tights - c/o Oasap socks - DIY from vintage tights shoes - Rubi Shoes bag - Vintage ring - Vintage hat - c/o Wholesale When I look back at wearing this dress from Asos one year ago it's crazy to think how much has happened since then. I look back at those photos and think "I was just a baby!!" (With damn twiggy arms, as well). I also think "Wow. What a terrible, terrible blog post. Why did I just write that?" Haha. I somehow don't think I took my blog too seriously a year ago. I like that I can still wear this dress after a year, though. It's definitely still one of my favourites. Speaking of asos, I bought this dress today using my winnings from an asos competition. Yay!! If anyone has any awesome asos items to suggest that I should buy, please let me know :) Also, this is my 200th post! Which is an exciting and arbitrary number. Thank you so much to everyone for being here and reading all the crap I have to say, it means a lot to me.

Hooray! Look what I won!

This was a pretty nice thing to come home to after a long day at uni. Thanks heaps, asos! I hope you're all very, very well :)
