Haul.

I've been on a bit of a shopping spree this last week, and this is (some of) what I purchased. (List and links below) 

Clockwise from top left: Wrangler jeans in Ziggy fit, Dotti belt, Dotti jumper, Just Jeans sunglasses, Platinum grey tights, Acapella polkadot tights, Volcom wallet, Kmart maroon beanie, L'Oreal Paris Infallible brush in porcelain 015, Grey Vans, Pagani polkadot dress

outfits of the week.

So I thought I'd do a wee WIWTW (what I wore this week) showcasing what I've be wearing as of late. 

This was a crazy busy week for me, with Uni all day on Monday, preparing for an event I run that happened on Tuesday night, running another event at Uni on Wednesday, then hopping straight on a plane to Auckland later that day to see FUN. live in concert. Then on Thursday I drove to Tauranga to spend the weekend with my family, as Friday was my 21st birthday. Phew!

(Disclaimer: By writing this blog post, I'm obviously not trying to convince you guys i'm fashionable or anything like that, because that is certainly not true! I just thought it would be a bit of fun. I enjoy reading similar posts and seeing what other people are wearing so thought i'd give it a go.)

Stud.

For a while now, I've been searching for a shirt to customise and continue my stud affair. 

There's plenty of tops out there already studded, but seeing as I had some pyramid studs left over from previous projects, I thought i'd give it a go myself. I found this shirt in Glassons for $29.99 - it's quite sheer so i'll have to wear a singlet underneath, but seeing as winter is coming up, this isn't really a big deal. 

I then simply measured the width of the pockets, and how many studs would fit to make a nice line across the top. The fabric is quite sheer, as I mentioned, so you have to be careful not to pucker it too much, but measuring where the studs need to go first solve this. (I counted I needed 10 studs, so measured where the middle of the pocket was and worked my way out, so even if I'd miscounted, it'd still be even.)

I think it turned out pretty well, but that's just my opinion :-)

the best thing in February.

The best thing in February for me was a week, specifically the week  of the 18th - 24th. 

This was the last official week of my summer holidays, as I started my final year of University (eek!) the following Monday. 

Even though I was working during the day, I seemed to fit a lot into the week, and constantly had a smile on my face. I caught up with a lot of friends who were back from their summer holidays, saw 90s band Garbage and got treated to a free dinner thanks to my sister who'd won a 'date night' at a delicious restaurant called Chow. It was also the week of my sister's birthday, so the celebrations were plentiful. 

I made the decision at the beginning of the year to take advantage of as many opportunities as I could, and have fun whenever possible. So far this is going splendid and i'm having a blast. If January and February are anything to go by, this year is going to be awesome.
