This Is Halloween

Boo!

Happy Halloween! Party face inspired by Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' film clip using YouTube tutorials here and here. Pretty chuffed with how it turned out and it's quite the attention grabber (especially when walking through Leederville at 8pm to get dinner because we were unfashionably on time for the party…)

Enjoy taking candy from strangers!

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Feeling pretty chuffed with myself right now, the bf and I managed to purchase all but 2 of our Christmas presents in less than 3 hours on Saturday and I picked up the remainder today. So aside from work for the next 2 days I can pretty much kick back and relax until the big day. U jelly?


I also finally got around to putting up the fairy lights out the front of the house and decorate a bottlebrush in the yard (note to self: purchase more large baubles for outdoor use in post Xmas sales). I also set up the tree because honestly, what's Christmas without one? And since the less I put up, the less I have to put away in the post Christmas hangover, I decided to wedge the tree in a corner so I would only have to put up a quarter of the branches (smart, I know).


And for those of you who don't follow me on instagram; as if making my dog get a haircut wasn't torture enough, I also subjected him to tinsel and santa hat abuse :P

Manikinn

The other week I finally used my Scoopon and made my Manikinn order and on Wednesday a nice little parcel made its way into my pigeonhole :) 

Manikinn takes oversized to the next level, and while I tried to make them look more fitted for the photos, these shirts are actually ridiculously huge; the "No 11" perfume tee is a small, while the "AHOY!" one is an extra small.

These make me that little bit more excited for summer :) I just wish all the Perth rain would go away already!

Sunday dress-ups.

SPOTTO: crescent nails, Lady Gaga hair bow

Ahh Sunday, the reliable friend who always comes around with a good time to relax now matter how hectic (or not, in my case) your week has been. Today I spent most of my time in the bathroom. Firstly cleaning (and by cleaning I mean fumigating with super bleach products) and then playing with my makeup/hair products as most little girls love doing.

Stumbled upon this tutorial for crescent nailpolish while browsing blogs and just had to give it a try. I must say that it is super easy to do and looks fabulous (it would probably look better if my nails were a tad longer, but netball season has just started up again, ho hum). I love that this classic can be made modern with an endless possibility of colour combinations and simply can't wait to try out more! 

I also finally tried out the hair bow that is synonymous with Lady Gaga. I remember when she opened for the Pussycat Dolls concert a while ago and absolutely loved her little skit as Warhol's muse a la factory girl. Tutorial video here by one of the YouTubers I follow.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend before the daily grind begins again tomorrow!
