May have built them up a bit too much


After the comments I think maybe the earrings won't live up to the hype - it seems talking about something before you actually post the pictures may build some expectations - I hope your not disappointed. Any way I got my butt into gear and took some photos which were surprisingly hard to do, consider a)crystal glares from the flash, and b) I can't take photos without a flash to save my life, they come out all blurry...

Although it looks kind of cool - like they have a little light in them. Long story short, they were given to us at Christmas by my sister's fiance's sister in law (that was a mouthful) and are originally ornaments, now they are earrings. Although since they are crystal I am paranoid about dropping them on the floor and smashing them!

Also some more picture - from my recent dyeing adventures. I didn't get any from when i did my shorts but I was doing a dress today and got some in between shots, will show the finished product later.


Dye in ready to be mixed



Dye mixed - with a knife - a bit weird I know, but I needed it to open the dye tin, and then I used it to stir. Plus I thought the dye on the the knife looked pretty cool so snapped a pic of it. Now I'm going to go terrorize some children...

Compelled

My followers seems to be growing more over a short period of time, which compels me to post, due to time constraints however I can't really do much of anything substantial. Usually I take an outfit photo when I come home but it seems the clothes are always coming off before the camera is coming out nowadays, perhaps I should try to catch a snap before I go out hmmm.

Anyway, just to let you know I'm not dead what have I been up to?
I made some earrings - out of some Swarovski Christmas tree ornaments, which I will take some photos of to show you, not a huge effort, but neat all the same.

I also dyed some shorts, which will also make an appearance, along with some recent buys.

I feel like this post is like a promo for a T.V show - coming up soon on I'm a bit of a Geek...tee hee.

On a side note. I went and saw Transformers 2 the other day. Short and Sweet - it was good, better than the first one. My favourite part - the old transformer - if you see the movie you'll know what I mean. Also Bumblebee, I love him, I wish I had one of him.

Oh how I love blue shoes

These are my favourite pair of shoes, they are blue, I love blue shoes. The whole outfit above is built around my shoes, and also the cute little feather headband, both of which I like to wear a lot.

Before I continue, I must ask you to pardon the face I'm making in this photo - I'm not sure what I was going for here, I only got two photos of this, in the other one I even cracked a lovely smile, but was doing something strange with the arms that made the whole outfit look utterly horrible really. So this is the lesser of two evils.

Have come the the conclusion, hot pink + blue = wicked colour combination, no?
Also little black dresses with lace necklines are just the sweetest things you could wear.

Just because I always forget
Dress - Glassons
Cardigan - Forever 21
Tights - questionable origin
Shoes - Hannahs
Headband - Forever 21

Quick note, those are always the best

Just a quick note to say - thanks for all comments on the post bellow guys, and for sharing how you get yourself motivated to get things done, been a bit quite because have been trying to get something massive done in relation to university. Promise something a bit more interesting from me soon - I am the worst of bloggers my apologies - I am also the worst of uni students at present too. Have been trying out some of your tactics though, hopefully they will help.

Have a finger sprain too which does not help with the typing, my poor little pinky is bruised and swollen, it looks like a fat little slug... ouches.

In the mean time I'll leave you with this - it makes me happy

Nothing gets done

Posing a question to the blog'o'verse - what motivates you to get things done, when you have no energy, no motivation, and no idea where to begin?

I feel like a tiny little ant standing at the bottom of a little mountain sometimes.
Staring up wondering exactly how the heck I'm going to get to the top.
I know I should buckle down and get to it, but it's just not coming.

Oh how much easier it is just to look at one...more...website....

Hope you guys are being much more productive than I am.

On a much more positive note - I have new followers! I love new followers - welcome! Make yourself at home, don't mind the mess. I'm thinking about doing a giveaway soon as well to jump on the bandwagon and to celebrate when I get my work done - so look out for that in the next couple of weeks - it will be a surprise I promise you that!!

Lust have



These are the lovely Jeffrey Campbell - Lite, aren't they gorgeous sigh. This is what comes from spending hours browsing the Solestruck website - I end up desperately wanting shoes that I can't afford. With shipping cost + currency conversion + poorness of me = I don't have enough money for these beautiful babies. But they desperately want to be on my feet I know they do.

I'm not going to have the money anytime soon, so I'll just have to stick with having these on my desktop and wishing. I keep hinting to the boyfriend to buy them for me, but he actually has less money than me so really this is a fruitless task.
