Nastygal Haul Part Two // Adventures

HeLLo EverYBOdy! (say it in the voice of Dr. Nick from the Simpsons and it all makes sense)

Today I went on an adventure.
The plan was to go to a swimming hole in Springbrook, but life decided to throw us a curve ball.
We ended up tired and hungry at the end of the road, on top of a mountain. 
It was chilly and foggy, and we wandered.
We skipped from rock to boulder to rock. 
Then we came to what looked like the edge of the earth.
It was a sheer vertical drop where the creek suddenly plummeted into endless fog.
It was breathtaking.


On the topic of adventures: I'm going sky diving on Monday at a beach in Redcliffe!


Aight let's hop into the clothes I acquired from Nastygal YAY


Lippies used: Lime Crime 'Glamour 101' with a cheap priceline lip stain on top


Top and shorts both Nastygal


Sunnies by Quay Eyeware Australia, from Nastygal
Officially my fave, I leave them in my bag now.


Note: if you have an industrial piercing it helps to have cornrows so your hair doesn't fucking tug on it every time you move.


Yes, ALL OF THE ZIPPERS WORK


Shoes from ASOS







This top is awesome because it's party in the front, AND THE BACK


Catch ya

Nastygal Haul Part One // An Epiphany

HAY HAY
This week we takin' things to the next level.
Go deep with Connie Li.

A Realisation:
1. Happiness = Success
I feel I need to elaborate on this one, so I'm not giving off the wrong idea.
The Oxford Dictionary of English defines success as "the accomplishment of an aim or purpose".
So now you know I do not refer merely to fame or wealth when speaking of success.
It can be anything.
Success for me:
- Purchasing a gift which perfectly reflects the person you are buying for (no pic for this cos it's still a surprise).
- Getting in the newspaper, wearing the cheesiest smile you ever smiled.


- Looking down at the world from a high place. There is something very REAL about moments like these, I guess that's why people enjoy sightseeing. I recommend the Byron Bay rooftop near the lighthouse.


- When your nails dry fabulously and flawlessly. (CAN'T FIND MY GOOD PICS SORRY)


To be happy is to succeed.
To succeed is to be happy.

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

- John Lennon

Another success?
ACQUIRING CLOTHES
My Sunnies and Garter Leggings are new from nastygal, they have some insane sales going on which make me very very happy.


 Lime Crime Lipstick in "Mint To Be"
The packaging alone has led me to buy four of their lipsticks and two eyeliners.


These leggings are so badass I swear mothers cover their child's eyes when I strut past.


Note: it's essential to add colour to an all black outfit.

Blackpepper

Hello my little buttercups

These past few weeks have been an epic start to my uni holidays.
I've decided partying is nearly as exhausting as studying.
From experience I find that the summer holidays always seem like an endless period of time during which you can neatly accomplish everything you couldn't amidst your studies.
The fact of the matter is I spend:
30% of my time watching the TV shows I've hoarded throughout the year;
20% catching up with the friends I've neglected;
30% working (being exploited);
10% eating, etc.
Which leaves approximately 10% of my holidays to actually accomplishing things.
When I realised this after 13 years of education I decided enough was enough and I've compiled a Holiday Bucket List:
(Contributed to by Kerry)
- Skinny dip
- Rock climb at Kangaroo Point
- Run to the top of Mt Cootha
- Go to the Casino
- Segway around Brisbane
- Learn to sew
- Get cornrows
- Sex and the City marathon
- Road Trips!!! (Sandon River, Whitsundays, Great Barrier Reef, The Quarrie, Tangalooma, Straddie, Coolangatta, Byron, Cairns)
- Cook a recipe, borrow cooking books from lib
- Start a Youtube Channel
- Draw my next tattoo
- Enter a gameshow (big brother etc)
- Learn to surf
- Volunteer at a homeless shelter

There were more inappropriate (but hilarious) ones which I left out.

Onto the photoschmotos!


New neon pink 'Kitti' sunnies by Quay Eyeware
They come in like 5 colours and I want them all.


Flatform Shoes by Zomp





Shit now you know my address


This cute little set is from an up and coming label Blackpepper Fashion. 
Such a good price for handmade gear and they always have funky new prints!











Signature Scent: Love Spell by Victoria's Secret
Sickly sweet just how I like it.


Velourlips by Australis
There is a name but I just call it 'the purple one'
This shits off the hook, it goes on like a lipgloss, dries super matte and stays on foreva.
