AMERICAT!

Hey guys!

A few weeks ago i had the lovely opportunity to co-style a street style photo shoot with one of my school BFF's Samira!

it was super fun (especially since we got to borrow clothes from some awesome PR agencies and style them with My label and my wardrobe!)

Here's the first look! Accidentally named AMERICAT! Since i made Tasha (our model) make cat faces in our cat ear beanie!

Stylists: Samira Hoque and Sarah Peters(myself)

Model: Tasha Ross

Photographer: Aneita Yang

The best blooper of the day!

Beanie: metalhead and damsel

Tank/vest: City Beach

America Leggings: Blackmilk clothing

Boots: Doc Martens

My favourite part about this look is how fun and casual it is. The America leggings are very much a statement piece so they don't require much to make it a powerful outfit. we added the boots and denim vest to keep it cool and rock chic and the cat beanie to make it cute and girly. this is one of my favourites from the day! It's very much a 'Me' outfit!

Stay tuned! I'll be posting the other looks as i get them!

online shopping haul!

Recently i did a whole bunch of online shopping and it's finally all arrived! i got a whole bunch of random things, some were in preparation for winter and others just coz. enjoy!

these babies are my new oil slick leggings from Blackmilk! i know i took the worst picture of them but they are the shiniest and most rad thing ever! they're gonna be so badass and biker chic this winter. i already styled them for easter with the family so i'll have to snap it and post it here so you can see their true beauty! they cost $109 and i got them during their free shipping period.

My sister and I did a shopping haul on Misguided. she originally purchased these jeans for herself but they didn't fit so i tried them on and they were perfect! Which was super weird because i wear a size 10! i don't actually wear jeans much after i discovered Blackmilk but i think the ombre effect is unique enough to work into my wardrobe.

i bought this shirt from misguided since i die for anything diamond print but i was greatly underwhelmed when i received it. i'm not a fan of the super soft t-shirt fabric because i don't feel like it holds a good shape, and also the straps are too thick and go over my shoulders which i don't find flattering since i have such a lack of shoulder! lol. i'm going to try styling it again but other wise i'll gift it to a friend.

this shirt is also from misguided but it is AMAZING!! the website was very hit and miss for me but i found a gem with this one. its a cropped tee but it fits tight at the top but loose at the bottom. i love crops and i just found this so flattering i didn't want to take it off! it was super comfy and it just gave me loads of confidence. the only issue i had, was i would of preferred a more exaggerated rolled up sleeve like it looked on the website so instead i made that to sell on my own site :P

lastly i bought this knock off wildfox sweater from ioffer. what i dislike from buying from china is that the photo's they post are generic and don't actually represent the item you will actually receive. it wasn't so bad since it only cost me $28.50. the good thing about ioffer though is that you can bargain with the online seller to save yourself more money. i'm not as in love with this as i thought i'd be but i haven't had a chance to properly style it yet so keep a look out for a lookbook post on it :)

i also received my jelly sandals in the mail which i reviewed here

so there you have it! i may post an online shopping tips blog for you guys if you like. i know when i started online shopping i had a few doozies when it came to wrong items or sizes so i'm happy to share my limited wisdom. feel free to check out the websites. i had positive experiences with all their deliveries :)

This is an outfit i wore a while back to go clubbing ;) i don't go clubbing often, especially in winter coz i'm a big nanna that goes to bed at midnight :P but i paid a crap load for my blackmilk suspender tights so i want to get some wear out of them. i find them a little too risqué for day time wear. doesn't help that when i wore them out some guys yelled from their car and said 'keep that shit at home, bitch!' bitches be jealous ;) ps. this was the 2nd time i got to wear my spiked litas!!! they're too perfect and beautiful! i wish i had more chances to wear them!

grunge

So grunge is coming back into style and I'm in love!! i bought some black T.U.K swede creepers and they are by far my favourite shoe!! they literally go with EVERYTHING! so if you're contemplating getting a pair DO ITTTTTTT!!! you wont regret it! mine were $85 from amazon, including shipping. you could probably shop around and get them cheaper.

My grunge staples:

slouch beanies

over sized button up shirts

denim

CREEPERSSSS

round sunnies

loads of crosses

just a reminder these are the pieces i like to rock when i'm trying to make a grunge themed outfit. whatever you classify grunge as is up to you :)

So if you didn't already know i want to become a stylist. i thought it would be a great idea to apply for a  personal shopper position as i already do plenty of one-on-one customer service in my current job. there was one going for the topshop that will be opening in Sydney in october, they asked for a topshop inspired outfit and this is what i came up with! :) unfortunately i didn't get the job (obviously haha)

this outfit shows pretty much all my obsessions! denim, docs, red lippy and blackmilk ;)

another love of mine, the blackmilk rib swim! it costs $90 but it was well worth it! not only does it look smoking and photograph well, but its also a bathing suit! unfortunately i got it after beach season so i haven't tested it in the water yet but i'm keen to try it out! it also looks super cute with denim cut offs or high waisted pants. i want to try rocking it with my new DISCO PANTSSSSS!!! i finally caved and paid full price for them! hoping to take pictures on the weekend!
