#TEAMTFI

I've come to the end of a fantastic year, studying fashion business at The fashion institute in Surry Hills. In celebration of such a great variety of awesome students this year, TFI had it's students style up their new #TEAMTFI t-shirts and pose around the streets of Surry Hills. If you want to learn more about the amazing opportunities that TFI offer you can check out their site HERE or feel free to shoot me any questions in the comments or on my TUMBLR

Entertainment catch-up: Taylor Swift Red tour!

Apologies to all my faithful readers, I seemed to have drifted off the blogging sphere these past two weeks! Between Christmas shopping, finishing my fashion business course and general end of year laziness i've had absolutely no time for anything except waking up at 3pm and watching a marathon of 'Girls' (I live the sweet life) But i've pulled myself away from my comfy and ridiculous hidey-hole to tell you about the most fantastic time I had at Taylor Swift's Sydney concert.

Now, incase you didn't already know, i'm a giant T-swift groupie! I have all her songs, I watch all her interviews and she is the sole purpose of me owning a guitar. I've never idolised someone so strongly before, She is beautiful and graceful, an amazing songwriter and even with all her greatness she is a completely flawed human being, making giant relationship stuff ups and being a complete head case and just going through life being her weird and awkward self (you get why I love her, no?)

Taylor has always taught me to be myself and stand up for what I believe in and taught me so much about relationships, the good and bad and that it's ok to be lost in a day dream sometimes. She's given me so much perspective on life and I will be forever grateful! And just when I think i'm paying her back by supporting her as often as I can at her live shows, she comes out on stage and just keeps giving all her love and energy to her fans, the Red tour was no exception.

Between theatric displays, costumed dancers, amazing graphics and fireworks displays, Taylor made every effort to reach outside the boundaries of the stage, making her way down the middle of the stadium floor and using moving circular stages and rotating crane arms to catch a glimpse of everyone around her. Her acoustic set was flawless and was a great way for her to play 'you belong with me' which is a concert staple for her now days.

Another thing I love about Taylor Swift concerts, is that she always takes time to stop and admire the crowd, she listens to the cheers of everyone who came together to celebrate her music and sincerely thanks everyone for attending, being to so many shows myself it is just so refreshing to see an artist stop and smell the roses, especially when they're at the top of their game, like Miss Swift.

If I had to fault her I would take away a point for not having an encore, but considering I am in love with every one of her songs I never feel unsatisfied by the songs on her set list.

I think for the future i'll be saving all my pennies so that next time she's in town I can splurge on a meet and greet. Because even though the picture above is the closest I came to her I still had one of the best nights of my life, Taylor Swift is a true performer!

Instagram Selfies!

I tend to take all my outfit selfie's on instagram now days so i thought i'd share my favourite instagram pics with you guys!

Inspiration: Mens Fashion

Hey guys!

I've only ever had one opportunity to style mens fashion but i've had plenty of fun dressing male models and even though dressing boys seems as simple as a t-shirt and jeans and is much more limited in the shapes and colours it offers I find that it can be equally as fun (plus, male models? YUM!)

So here is some mens fashion inspiration! As you can tell i'm a complete sucker for a well tailored suit and bad ass leather jacket (I blame it on the Doctors and Dean Winchesters of the world!)

Nail Art Tutorial: Skittle nails

Hey guys! Today I took full advantage of Priceline's 40% off cosmetics sale by grabbing a whole bunch of fabulous nail polishes! To celebrate I thought i'd do a nail tutorial for Skittle nails, the easiest nail tutorial ever!

YOU WILL NEED:

Nail polish remover (If needed)

5 Rainbow coloured nail polishes

1 White nail art pen (And a steady hand or helpful friend!)

My Favourite nail products! This Nailene nail polish remover pot is a life saver! It's full of acetone and pink bristles. You literally put you finger in, let it soak for a second and then scrub your nail on the bristles. Getting rid of mass amounts of polish has never been easier!

I also use Sally Hansen's Insta Dry, to quicken the drying process (Also great for nail art when you use too much nail polish but need it to dry for the next step) and Sally Hansen Miracle nail hardener as a base coat since I have thin nails.

Before i removed my nail polish with Nailene

After i removed my nail polish with Nailene

Next are my colours! I used Essence nail colours, they're super bright and super cheap and decent quality. The nail pen is from Sportsgirl

Next I painted each nail a different colour (2 coats depending on colour and and constancy of the polish) I also had to change blues and ended up using a BYS cracking polish (hence why it looks so horrid!)

Next I drew on some S's with nail pen

Finish with a top coat and you're done!

I'd love to see your Skittle nails! feel free to link me in the comments below.

Until next time x.

The Weekly Wishlist: American Apparel

Today my adventures seemed to take me past the American Apparel store on Oxford Street in Sydney, even though I went inside knowing full well that I couldn't afford to buy anything, I still left with a heavy heart as I mentally racked up the biggest of wish lists! 

Now, usually I keep the weekly wish list down to an easy and quick 3 items, but this week I had trouble containing my wants and desires! I'm a closet American Apparel fan, only ever splurging on their famous Mesh panel bodysuit and a pair of Disco pants (Which I wore through in one season due to improper washing!) I've always digged their basic and simple styles but never felt they were worth the price tag, now that i'm really invested in a more simpler style (or complete 90's revival, depends what catches my fancy!) I find myself sobbing quietly into my wallet when I contemplate pulling out the credit card and making a bad life choice.

Instead i'm going to share my favourite items with you guys in hopes one of you has a well paying job, I'm going to have to wait until the new year and hope I find a spectacular job to pay for my shopping habit.

American flag tee $28
I could buy ANYTHING with the US flag on it, I really dig me some red, white and blue! (Especially if Chris Evans is wearing it!)

Athletic contrast tee $34
I keep going on and on about it but I love LOVE LOVE sports luxe and this would look so cute with my leather shorts!

Basic crew neck tee $10
It took all my power not to demand the staff to take the last one of these tees down off the mannequin, i've always loved pink but this shade is DIVINE!

Colour block shorts $60 Colour block tee $28
Ok. So these shorts started my credit card temptation. Pastel. High waisted. I'm sold! And look! Cute matching top! I need these in my life, It's looking like a pastel summer!

Silver Shorts $34
I've been on the hunt for silver shorts. It's one of my weird obsessions that are pointless explaining and will probably look terrible on me!

Sunflower baby doll dress $54
Usually i'm a daisy person but i'm quite liking the colours of this sunflower print, since it'd being so widely ripped off i'm expecting to see it everywhere this summer in Sydney.

Sunflower overalls $88
I don't know what they're trying to portray with the (lack of) Styling in this photo, but weirdness aside, i'm going gaga for overalls. Can't stop. Won't stop.

*All prices are from the US American Apparel website.

What's your favourite piece from American Apparel right now?

Until next time x.
