So the weather's been pretty bipolar here in Aus as per usual. There were a few sweltering days last week and now it's full on cold and raining at the moment! I can't tell which one I prefer more =.= So what's been happening since I last posted and now? Well...firstly, I turned 18! Yay! Finally legal to go clubbing, drink alcohol, smoke etc...lol too bad I'm so boring that I don't do any of that stuff. But having my birthday did give me the encouragement to start something new and so I eventually decided to lunch my Youtube channel, which I've been talking about doing for a very long time now. You can actually watch my first vid here and then subscribe to me (I hope!):
I've also been just hanging around, waiting for university to come around. I'm excited to be studying a combination of business and information systems but I'm still nervous since I have no idea what to expect of uni! I figured that I might have more time for stuff so I'm looking for a part time job too. Gosh, you guys don't understand how hard it is right now! Such a struggle looking for a job D: If any of you Aus readers know of any openings coming up, hit me up won't you? ;) Since it's a month into the new year, I kind of came up with some resolutions or goals to achieve like expanding my online store 'A Lemon's Life', growing the blog and Youtube and start learning some Japanese! Who knows how much I'll actually get done but I'll give it my best shot.
Anyway, you're pretty much all caught up now, so let's get on with this outfit post. I'll probably be doing most of my outfit posts as Youtube videos on my channel now, so another reason to subscribe and stay updated with that! But I'll also be embedding them here and adding some extra photos with the blog post. Don't worry, I won't be neglecting my blog just because I'm making videos now. I'll still be posting heaps of unique content on here as well.
So enjoy my new video here and just keep in mind that I should be posting up to 2 times a week :D Yay for frequent posting -- crossing fingers for some views! ^_^
Here are les photos (details on the outfits after the jump) ->
Sorry, mouth was gross in these two pics ahahah
As it was pretty hot last week, I chose to go with a babydoll plaid print dress. I think this pattern is totally cute and on trend recently. I saw it a LOT in Japan and Korea when I went over there for a holiday last December. This dress is actually from a Korean brand called BANANA that I found in Myeongdong. They were having this massive sale and I managed to get the dress for just 10,000 won! Super cheap ^_^ It's got this innocent, school girl-ish vibe that makes it a mix of rock yet adorable at the same time :) The high waist of the babydoll dress also shortens the torso and creates an illusion of super high hips so your legs are effectively elongated. I kind of made the dress the main feature, with it's bold colour, then worked some dark accessories around it, so they would complement but not overtake the outfit. I'm wearing a print headscarf from H&M, which I bought for $6.95. I find these really difficult to wear tbh. They never sit quite right on my head and when I tie the knot at the top, it looks pretty awkward. But usually I just tuck the extra strips under and hope for the best. When it's worn right, it looks amaaazing.
I'm also wearing thigh high sheer stockings, which you can get from the brand Doll's Kiss. They're very light and easy to wear and add an extra cool element to the outfit. I think that when you wear higher socks, these also add to an effect of slimming and lengthening legs. And to extend that effect even further, I've chosen to wear my platform creepers, which add heaps of height! They're studded so they give off that rocker look, but they remind me of creepy kawaii mostly. These are often my go-to shoes because they go well with most outfits. I bought them from Windsor Smith a year ago and they remain as one of my favourite pairs of shoes.
Finally, finishing off the coordinate, I've got a strappy bow backpack in light gray. I bought this in Morning Glory quite a while ago and really love it! The annoying thing about it is that it's a drawstring backpack that you're supposed to tie in a bow, then velcro over. This results in my bag always popping open and stuff falling out quite a bit. Not exactly functional... but cute :3
This was just a fun outfit I've been thinking about recently. Been doing a lot of style brainstorms in my head, especially since the start of uni means no more school uniform. But hey, what's the bet that by the end of the semester, I'll be wearing casual tracksuits//pyjamas to school? ^_^
Hope you enjoyed this post and the video! Let me know what kinds of Youtube vids you'll be wanting to see from me in the comments below!!

Heylinn, you are just the cutest, prettiest blogger I came across with! Don't rush things, university life is sometimes hectic and combining it with a part time job won't be that easy just to fill the time gap, but I know you're a pretty strong young and responsible gal who can ace these two simultaneously! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the baby doll plaid dress, it really suits you and add up to the youthfulness of your aura, stay gorgeous! :)

ReplyDeleteHi everyone I'm Mrs. ALEKSI TAISIYA, My husband divorced me 2 years ago to live with another woman and i have tried have him back but i could not, so i try to do many things to get him back and he refuse to come back. One faithful Friday morning, I visit a forum for tips on how to get your Ex back and there i saw a lady testifying on how Dr.AKHERE helped her to get her husband back after he was tie down with a spell by another woman. Although I never believed in spiritual work I reluctantly tried him because I was desperate and i contact him and explain my problems to him, to my greatest surprise Dr.AKHERE helped me to bring back my husband after 5days and now my relationship is more perfect just as he promised. Getting your ex back permanently does not only bring back someone you love but it will also reunite your lovers feelings. My husband now treats me like a Queen and always says he loves me all the time. If you are passing through difficulties in your relationship, Doctor AKHERE can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and some other things. I can assure he's highly potent and reliable. Email him for urgent help [AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com ] or +2349057261346 .
