wearing blouse - Vintage sweater - Cheap store in Sydney skirt - Vintage tights - c/o Oasap wig - Ebay belt - Vintage bag - Vintage shoes - Rubi Shoes Hello there beautiful people! Now, why does this always happen? I am such a follower of northern hemisphere fashions and blogs that now, with my outfits, I appear to be going into autumn - this is such an autumny outfit. Compare it with this outfit which was taken in the middle of winter, and this one in the middle of summer, haha. I am always all mixed up down here in the forgotten southern hemisphere. Anyway, I also really like this Oscar Wilde quote up above so it became the title of my look. Also, I really like this new wig! After reading all your comments on my look a few days ago when I said I wouldn't ever wear a wig out in public... WELL I got over my anxieties and wore this one out on Monday night and on Tuesday. I got loads of compliments on it too, and a couple of my male friends actually didn't realise it wasn't my hair until I told them (though why they forgot I'd dyed it brown and how they thought it could have grown so fast in just a couple of days, I don't know), but still! That was all encouraging so I think I'll be just pretending that this is my real hair in the future. Please humour me. Hope you're all having a gorgeous day,

I'm becoming a cat lady.

So many posts involving cats recently! Holey moley! Oh! Oh! And, a cat ring as well. Honestly. What is this?? wearing top - c/o Oasap collar - c/o Romwe skirt - c/o My Friend Leila  (this is not a brand, I mean my friend named Leila gave it to me) socks - Tutuanna shoes - Vintage hat - c/o Wholesale bag - Vintage Also please ignore that only one nail is painted. I did the rest later. And now they look awesome. $1 nail foils from ebay, aww yeah.

Rocking Horse

wearing dress - Vintage necklace - c/o Oasap tights - c/o Oasap socks - Tutuanna shoes - Rubi Shoes hat - c/o Wholesale A great way to ward off boredom (and a great way to procrastinate) when I'm studying is to ditch the study and go and dress up instead. (Great, Annika. If you're bored of studying, stop studying. Wise words of wisdom.) Anyway, dressing up is SO much fun with these awesome tights that I've been collecting (thanks to Oasap), and a pretty pastel pink princess dress doesn't hurt either. Nor does a wig. I don't actually go out in public like this. Well, not exactly like this. I wish I had the courage to. I'll wear the dress and tights, but not my wig, or high heels. People tend to stare at me strangely when I go out all super dooper dressed up. I wish I lived in a magical city where when people dress up, they go all the way. And no one looks at you oddly for dressing up just to go do the shopping. Who wants to move with me to fashion utopia land? It would be quite nice. p.s., Rocking Horse - The Dead Weather.

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,
