having my mid semester break now, and weather was pretty awesome at the start of the week but has turned cold and wet and gloomy these few days again. That's melbourne weather for you! There's been quite a few sudden bouts of "summer days" though, and that's when i can get my dress on. haha ;) I have now run quite a backlog of photos of my outfits from the past weeks...(even months) so thought I might just put them on here for sharing (: if anyone has been on my facebook or twitter, you might have seen some of these pics... and for those who haven't, in my absence... i've changed my hair colour TWICE. i just noticed the last time i posted a pic of myself, i still had black hair. my my, that was eons ago!! Where have I been?! haha... well, i'll post some pics of my last two hair colours too just to keep this updated!
Me in black hair, this is how you should remember me from the last entries.. haha.
On a side note, how cute is that outfit?! :D I love the stockings.. you'll see the details below ;)
Me trying out hats... gotta love my black hair for all sorta hats!!
My polka-hearts stockings from before... so love!
----------------
And so now comes the part where my hair gets dyed.. I was wanting a lighter, brighter colour and so was advised to bleach my hair... as I had dyed it black the last time, colours will tend not to show very well, so no choice, had to bleach!
This was after bleach, can you see the parts nearer to the roots are platinum blonde and the rest is still brown? The brown bits are the parts that have been dyed black months back. O_O Did not have enough money to spare to bleach it all a second time, so I settled to dyeing the top part of my head to match the brown that came from bleaching.. Also had some blonde highlights in...
Khai doing temporary curl ends for me after cut and dye..
That's Amanda and I on the way back after a satisfied salon experience! And then 2nd pic is of me with hair all straight again..
How I look on the 2nd day under the sun.. love the colour under sunlight.. it's got a pinkish tinge <3
Me rocking some temp curls and also impossible shades with the new look!! lol
-------------------
Some outfits I put together while I had this hairdo...
Same outfit worn on two different occasions, matched with different colours leggings and boots (:
Loving the ensemble (Valley Girl), I'd say it's for Fall/Winter :D
Ruche sleeve playsuit from Almost Famous! On hindsight, i was so brave to wear it considering it's quite tight and shows off tummy quite a bit especially after a meal! haha, but u gotta admit it's quite different. i believe it's still on sale at AF and in different colours too (: (R), just a summery, "resort" outfit on my way back from Genting Highlands, Malaysia
(1st 3 pics) Two pretty dresses from The Closet Lover. Love the bright blue and how the cutting accentuates shoulders! The navy/magenta tulip dress is their exclusive manufactured piece... loving the bold colour match! :D
Last piece: Pretty slit sleeve cream dress from Love, Bonito Wore it briefly for the Academic gala dinner.. can't wait till the next chance to wear it again!
-----------------------
During this time, my hair was pinkish brown, but gradually fading to blonde-ish... at which time I was too frustrated and had to re-dye my hair. But before that, I rocked my hair at the podiatry ball! :D
After prep, in college...
Coats on and off with Qimin and Shruti (:
Beautiful dress from Almost Famous (AF), my absolute favourite online shop! They've the best service IMO!
Check out the hair... french braided all the way down on the right ending in a rosette bun, and curls streaming down on the left with a flower pin in!! Did it myself, hence the not-so-tight braids, but i'd say it's not bad for a home job if i might say so myself! ;)
Check out the surprise back of this dress. Such understated elegance and yet sexiness at the back!! Also very good quality material and hides all your flaws perfectly :D This photo was edited completely on the iphone4 believe it or not! Prettiness (:
----------------------
And so it's time... my hair's regrowth was getting obvious after about 4months or so? And it was fading.. to an almost-blonde shade!! I was aghast! :O Had a good experience at Sui the last time, so we went back and got Khai to help us both this time :D
Right before salon.
Us starting our full dye job... first we coat the roots... before the rest of the old hair.. anyone can guess what colour i'm going for now??
Me in my seat with a full length mirror in fronta me. I was getting treatment done.. alien bobblehead so I'd like to call myself. hahaha. Amanda's done meanwhile with her new colour and temporary curls too!
Blown and dried. all straight! Then Khai added curls... yes, i'm a redhead!! :P
Happy customers once again! haha :D
The Red is holding up alright right now.. some parts of my fringe have turned a bit blondish scarily fast! But the colour seems to fluctuate with days and weather too.. it's mighty strange since it's not my natural hair colour? haha. It's actually slightly faded to look a bit more orange-y now, meaning more ginger! me likey.
----------------
Some more outfits since red hair!
Navy romper from AF, summery coral chiffon top was from HVV sale!
A very new outfit!! Not a usual hello kitty fan, but how cute is this sweater top?! :D Not to mention I love plaid, now that's one stylish kitty! Paired with a leatherette skirt. And high suede-ish black boots. preppy with a rebel edge. ALL from F21!
Lace back floral tank from Forever New!! First time wearing since i bought it a year back.. perfectly paired with the BC pink blazer when it got more chilly. But i think my fav of all was the super comfy and flowy navy Plume Palazzo pants from HVV!
Andddd the blazer appears again! Loving it these days. When it's not too cold, just a bit chilly in the evenings. Paired with a detailed cream halter. Both tops from the now-vintage Bonito Chico (now knwon as Love,Bonito). New button fly jeans from F21! Was so happy to receive it and find out I picked just the right size online!
--------------------
And to top it all off right now, I also attended the ISA ball this year! With a different crowd this year, but still very fun (:
Our table! (missing Kevin) Aron, me, Qimin, Amanda and Kakeru! Suave and resplendid looking ppl right?!
Here's me in my cut-out maxi dress for the night.. so many compliments, very touched :D and much thanks to Manda for helping me curl hair :D
-------------
So excited to phase this blog into more of a photolog... so I can save on typing.. also, hopefully I put together more outfits to share here.. I've done quite some shopping recently. Much to my dismay since i see my $$ depleting ): but all those new clothes will hopefully be put to good use and will be on display here in the near future!
All comments are welcome, for example, what colour hair do you like most? Which outfit u like best? More information about these online shops that i linked... anything! Just leave a comment!
Just so you know, none of the linked shops paid me in any way to link them.. I just really thought they deserve a plug :D And also you girls can then check them out and perhaps find something you like there too!
AND. if anyone here goes to La Trobe Uni, you might wanna check out the Singapore Society's new spree pages! http://ltuss-spree.livejournal.com I'm running these sprees, and they're totally legit. If you are interested in shopping, it matters not that you're not part of the Singapore Society, just go ahead and join up as long as you are able to pick the items up yourself at uni... :D
