So I've been on the hunt for a simple tie dye tank for a while now and this week I decided to get off my ass, grab an old singlet and do the job myself. Although I'm happy with the results, I do wish that I saved the dye for a nicer top - so this is only the beginning of the tie dye projects! (and I'm feelin' some acid wash projects also underway!)
Ingredients:
1) rubber gloves, 2) rubber bands, 3) item of clothing, 4) permanent clothing dye and 5) 4 tbsp salt

Okay no more jibber jabber, I've decided to go along with the purchases post. I think I need some coaching. I'm proud to say that I have been bargain hunting during this sales period but I have one teeny weeny problem - I buy clothes that I only love half-heartedly purely because someone slapped a "SALE" sticker on the price tag. By the time I get around to wearing it, I will most likely be sick of it. Somebody give me an intervention or something, please.
The clothes are in no particular order, just so happened to snap them on the hanger this way and I've tried to list down price details and all as precisely as I could :)
(side note: how much does it SUCK to see something you bought full priced go on sale!)
I was only bothered to snap myself in one of the items since I was already wearing it this morning and yes, it looks like I'm attempting to lick my armpit. Gee, do I have class or what? haha.

And I think thats all of the purchases for the passing month, I sure do love me some clearance sales!
On a completely different note, out of pure coincidence Tammy and I were shopping the same day Cassie Davis was performing at the shops, the girl sure has got a set of lungs on her! And by that I mean both Tammy and Davis haha.
Also the other majority of my expenses also goes towards food and paying for parking. Paul, Harry and I went back to Wagaya again this week, I think I've literally been there once a week or so and tasted the majority of the menu. The thought of it is pretty sad actually. But cheap quality dining close to uni is hard to refuse! Paul and I also watched Coraline last night, I don't think it should classify as a kid's movie, it was really scary :(
Q&A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
before I get into answering the questions I just thought I should add that, this blog isn't exactly widely popular so I appreciate visitors and comments - little or small - very dearly :)
j: I vote yes for the recent purchases post & would also like to request a makeup tutorial on your go-to clubbing look (entire face, not just eyes) if you have time =)
Hey there :) I promised a makeup entry a few posts ago and I haven't got around to doing it yet, but I will and I'll try to dish up a tutorial for you too j!
christina: ive been told that having that extra bit of meat makes you sexier in bed - what kinda boy would want to grab onto skin & bones?
LOL christina! I guess having some meat does give you some brownie points, Paul would be a pretty bored kid without my tuckshop lady arms to jiggle and my flabby cheeks to poke and giggle about haha!
j.: hey babes, do you know which local shops you can get nice tops or vests?
You've probably guessed it by now but my local go-to-store is Sportsgirl haha. As soon as I get to my local mall, I park the car and being the loyal customer I am I head into Sportsgirl haha. Apart from that, online shopping in the comfort of your home is also the way to go! The only downside is shipping costs and waiting for the delivery but opening packages is exciting and definitely worth it! hahaha
wendy: hey annieo, do you know where i can get cute blac cropped blazers from? help pleasee!
Hey wendy, good question! Spring stock is taking over store shelves and decent cropped blazers are getting harder to find :( I did see a cropped dinner jacket in Sportsgirl which was pretty, although it was sateen and grey. Not sure if they still have many in stock but you could try heading to a Dangerfield stockist, I remember last Myer Stocktake sale I picked up quite a few cropped Dangerfield blazers which I still use and love! ALSO try finding one online, ebay and the world wide web would definitely have something on offer!
hi: which contacts are you wearing? =)
Hey there hi, they're Freshlook Colourblends in Grey!
mqnt: you should really get the Sobe Clutch!It's so adorable
I can tell mqnt - that if we were shopping buddies we'd shop ourselves out of house and home! hahaha
M: Annie, where do you get your eyebrows done? Can you reccomend a place? And does it hurt the first time? >.< lol
M!!! I am definitely not the person to ask about eyebrows! Hahaha, my eyebrows are completely horrid! They're messy and rounded, I'm in need of a touch up myself! After my mum finished beauty school she always offers to do my eyebrows (and my friends' eyebrows when they come over LOL) but I'm such a wuss, I can't stand other people plucking my brows. To me it hurts, to people like Tammy, she lies there as if in deep slumber LOL so I do my own, which probably explains why they're so ugly :( When I do have time though I have a family friend who owns a beautician in Liverpool that waxes my brows for me which I'm fine with, waxing does't hurt as much as plucking and if I can stand it, so can you!
Oh yes and speaking of my mother dear. She decided to keep the Bellevue in Amarante, not usually something I'd pick but she adores it. In fact she adores it so much she puts it back in the box after every use hahaha I love my mum.
