January Wishlist

(Clockwise R to L: OPI Are we there yet nail polist; Topshop skater skirt; 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli satchel; kikki.K time planner; Embellished lace top

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. If you follow my instagram, you will see that I have been helping my sis set up her stall at the Glebe Markets. It was an interesting albeit tiring experience. I don't think I will do it again. A friend also had a house warming party to celebrate her new gorgeous place which was near the river. It comes with an indoor pool and jacuzzi - you know where I will be spending my weekends now. December and January have been the worst two months for my bank account. With the festive season, one can't help but spend. I did buy the Topshop skirt above although what I really need is a diary. Talk about priorities. I don't even know why I want more nail polish when I can't have coloured nails at work. I should stop buying things I don't really need.

Do you impulse buy? How do you control your shopping urges?

October Wishlist

Top (L-R) : H&M Chiffon blouse, JW Anderson for Topshop quilted silk skirt, The Casual Vacancy
Bottom (L-R) : Superga classic sneakers, Cambridge Satchel Company batchel

Hi October! Here is my Spring wishlist. Just realised the items match quite well together. A complete outfit. All the more reason to get them :) .But sadly I'm on a self-imposed shopping ban (2months and counting). Must resist. Only less than 3 weeks away before I'm set free. I can do it.

Okay, maybe not. I might have placed an order online for one of the items above. Yes, I did. It should arrive next week. I couldn't help it. Only one. I swear *raises right hand*.

I love October. It has always been one of my favourite months of the year. It's when the weather gets warmer and the sun stays out longer. This year is no exception especially since my holiday is coming up soon and I'm going to see Mumford & Sons live! At the moment, both albums are on repeat in preparation for a sing-along. And last but not least, Topshop is opening a store in Sydney this week - October 4th.

Are you looking forward to October?

Being creative with hair

Images taken from Pinterest & A Cup of Jo

Looking for inspirations and ways to revamp my hair style for work. Something different than the usual straight hair or ponytail/bun.
But it's harder than the pics make it out to be and I'm envious at those who can make their hair look so effortlessly amazing yet creative.

Another source for inspiration is A Cup of Jo's hair tutorials which I've been religiously checking out.
However I've only succeeded in creating the ponytail twist as seen in the last pic.The rest...utter failures.
I'm just horrible at it - hairstyling is definitely a career I should not pursue when I do decide on a career-change down the track!
