Dry July Challenge

Hello ladies Sorry I haven't posted in a while I have been extremely busy with work and being social! Hope your all having an amazing week. This month is dry July: meaning no alcohol for the month, although I'm going to do that I was thinking that maybe I should give up something else for a month, so I have decided to give up shopping for a month! I'm not going to lie this is going to be extremely hard: I am addicted to online shopping and I always just pop into the shops or just go to pick up 1 thing and end up buy everything. I am a clothes,skin care and makeup junkie - its seriously an issue. So I decided to go through everything that I own and change things up a little - to trick myself into believeing I have bought new things. I swapped my daily favourites for some older loves: which surprising I have found some old things that I completely forgot that I had. So while I'm all motivated I have decided to also give up some other things: - dairy (cutting out all dairy products to help my skin) - buying anything (clothes, skin care, makeup) - lollies (I am a sucker for anything sweet) I know I am going to struggle with this but with a bit of will power I know I can do it: I have gone through and got heaps of photos of clothes/styles that I like and things that I can modify with what I currently own! I will let you all know how I go :) Take the challenge and join me.....keep your fingers crossed for me I promise to try my best! Love T xx

Small Things | Beauty Delight 77

I have been a bit under the weather these last couple of day :( But after a massive sleep and the help of some trusty cold and flu tablets I am feeling a lot better.

Today is basically a ramble of the small things in life I am currently lovin' Some times its the small things in life that we often miss that mean the most.

- Flowers
- Sleep
- Soup (To help with the winter chills)
- Black Skinny Jeans
- Warm Pyjamas
- Bright Nail Polish
- Pretty Little Liars
- Revlon Lipstick in Vintage Pink
- Gym
- Blogin'
- The Block

And to finish off I thought I would leave you with this quote from Dr. Seuess

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours we join up with them and fall into a mutual weirdness and call it love"

Long Weekend | Beauty Delight 77

Us Australian's have a long weekend, apart from the fact that I have zero plans and I only found out it was a long weekend 2 days ago I'm actually really keen to do nothing. I work full time and study part time which means I pretty much don't have a life while I am studying, but as you know I have finished School for the semester and I have a massive 7 weeks break. I honestly cant explain in words how excited I am to have my life back for seven weeks before school starts again.

So it got me thinking that while I'm off from School I need to set myself come goals. 7 weeks is a long time and as much as I love sitting at home doing nothing, its time that can be used productively. As its a long weekend I thought now is the time to start.

Here is a short list of what I would like to get done:
  • Organise Lounge Room
  • Travel
  • Get buff
  • Die Jeans
  • Learn to use SLR Camera
  • 10 pan project
  • Start dance lessons again
  • Learn to sew
  • Catch up on Greys Anatomy
  • Handbag shopping
  • Go to Zara
  • Read 50 Shades of Grey
  • Blog
  • Decide if I should invest in a new Mac Book
  • Get hair cut and coloured
  • Go for a massage
  • Organise Wardrobe
  • Buy makeup
  • Buy Shoes
  • Catch up with old friends
  • Watch all seasons of One Tree Hill
Wish me luck!

Have a wonderful weekend.

DIY | Studded Denim Vest



Today I am going to show you a little DIY, I sort of have an obsession with DIY projects they don't always turn out as well as I hope but the intention, motivation and creativity is always there.

It was your average Saturday afternoon chilling at home watching Youtube Videos haha Oh the life I lead, I was inspired to clean out my wardrobe after watching a video and found a denim vest I had bought a little while ago for a festival, after throwing it into the "MAYBE" pile and then trying it on over and over again I decided it was a keeper I just need to "Jazz" it up a little somehow.....

So the Artist in me decided to pull out my craft box and see what I could do, I had seen a picture somewhere of a denim vest with a cross on the back of it done with studs so I though I would give that a go but as I was laying the studs out on the back of the vest it just wasn't looking right and considering its winter here in Australia I thought it would be pointless so I decided to stud the front.

As you can see from the picture I only did a little bit nothing too fancy but I LOVE how it turned out, Im actually so happy with it. I only ended up studding the collar and a bit on the pocket

I paired it with leather legging, an oversized cardy and some ankle boots. WINNER

Overall it cost me about $8, $5 for the vest and $3 for the studs (eBay)

Here are some pictures of before and after

Enjoy!
