Saying Goodbye to January

2012-01-31T23:59:00.000+11:00

I got a new pair of black shoes, candles as decorations for when I move houses, some fabric to make clothes when I move houses since that's when my mum is buying me a sewing machine, the second half of my studs and spikes a few days ago then I received my Campo Marzio journal/diary though it wasn't the design I asked for but it's still quite cool. The one I wanted was the one with a string on it that could tied it together so the pages wouldn't go flipping if it were to be dropped by accident.

I also went out with my friend yesterday and we took some pictures at Photo World.

Starting school on Thursday, don't look forward to all the school work that's coming up.

Styling ELLE

2012-01-30T15:03:00.000+11:00

Shirt: Elle, Shorts: From China, Bangle: Elle, Bag: From China

The Elle shirt is too small for me now and it's also my first time wearing it so I just wore it with one button done up since if I do the other top ones, there will be a gap seeing as my bust is too big for the shirt. ):

Deep Blueness

2012-01-29T15:59:00.002+11:00

Top: From my mum ages ago, Shorts: Supre, Shoes: Chérie, Sunglasses: From Eyetrend

*The shadows from the lighting makes my legs look weird..

Mon Amore Paris

This is one of my favourite clothing store and here are some pictures of it.

Colour Change + January New In #2

2012-01-25T20:33:00.001+11:00

I dyed my hair into a lighter brown yesterday and these are the things I got in the past week.
Storage containers, mini fan, mini pot, plushies, a new rubber for school since it's starting soon, phone charm tutorial (finished product on the next picture), spikes and studs.
The things I got today were the purple jeans and blue and turquoise wedges from Zara, money from my uncle for the Chinese New Year and a new pair of thongs.

Chinese New Year

2012-01-23T11:17:00.000+11:00

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
I'll see if there are any good photos from the dinner last night and if there is then I'll have some up.

For the time being, look at the new crystal necklace I made! (:

Today I went out and did a little grocery shopping with my parents because my dad's friends are coming to stay with us for a few days. There was a Chinese New Year festival on so my dad said to wear some pretty clothes but I still went with a casual black look.

2012 Beaching Sesh

2012-01-18T22:11:00.002+11:00

Today I finally went to the beach with my friend and met two of her friends and in the morning before I went there, my mum got me two pairs of new bikinis. The ones that I'm wearing in the picture and the other pair above. Also, you can slightly see that my face is sun burnt because I forgot to put sunscreen on there but the other places were mostly fine apart from my shoulders which probably didn't have enough sunscreen on so it's a bit burnt too. ):

Slashed Purple

2012-01-16T20:18:00.002+11:00

Top: Supre, Shorts: Supre

Today I went to the doctors today and this is the outfit I wore together with the pair of purple heels in my previous post. I also got a super light band-aid tan which I'll get rid of soon since I'm going to try and tan again.

January New In #1

2012-01-10T20:25:00.000+11:00

Here are just a few of the many new things I got in the past week, 6 pairs of shoes from Solestruck and 6 pairs from China which my mum ordered for me. Solestruck even included the cutest band-aids that says "SHOE + ADDICT" on it.
The random candy and toys are from a Japanese shop but the bunny was from a different shop in Docklands.

The bracelets and rings are also some of the many new creations I had made and will be up for sale by the end of the month.

The Blooming Colours

2012-01-07T22:57:00.000+11:00

Bag: From Taiwan, Top: Tommy Hilfiger, Shorts: Cotton On

Today I went grocery shopping so I wore some simply clothes with a tote which is easy to carry things in.
I've been making some new little items lately as well as receiving lots of things so I'll have pictures up next week.

Black Flowers

2012-01-04T17:28:00.002+11:00

Bag: Colette, Shorts: Cotton On, Top: Emotions

Today I went and had my eyes checked out and this was the outfit I wore.

Black Set

2012-01-03T11:21:00.000+11:00

Clutch: Collette, Top: Blanc Nature, Shorts: American Apparel, Shoes: Flippo Raphael,

My outfit for the day and if people do notice that my chest is noticeably whiter than the other parts of my body, that's because I was tanning on Monday.

Last Goodies From 2011

2012-01-01T23:59:00.000+11:00

These were the last items I got in 2011. S
ame shorts as the mustard yellow one but in dark green and blue-green, turquoise coloured shoes, cream floral cardigan, sneakers and an animal shaped waffle maker.

The Last Day Is The Best Day

2011-12-31T16:24:00.000+11:00

Today I wore the new clothes I got the other day together with my mum's bag. The shirt is double layered and the back is really long so it covered my shorts.
My mum got me a new pair of shoes today again and I'll have pictures up of all my new items that I got this week up later.

Oldies But Goodies

2011-12-30T19:28:00.000+11:00

My mum and brother were packing their things and found these and gave them to me because they didn't want them anymore. The ones on the right are from my brother and the ones on the left are from my mum.

Dreaming Under The Sun

2011-12-28T09:17:00.000+11:00

The weather is gradually becoming hotter now that it's summer so I got some new bandeau tops from my mum.
I also made a new pair of earrings with Swarovski crystals joined to a boho styled chain colour.

The Goodies From Boxing Day

2011-12-26T23:36:00.001+11:00

These are the items I got today, some where on sale and the others weren't but I still got them since they were really pretty. :)
I love the flower shaped bags/purses and I got two of, the pink and the black but I was going to get a white one until I saw the pink and took that one instead since the colour looked nicer.
The notebook I got is for school next year since I'm buying fancy looking exercise books instead of using the plain ones.

Busy Day = Happy Day

2011-12-26T23:05:00.000+11:00

Today I went to Knox City Shopping Centre to go boxing day shopping and this was my outfit for the day along with how I painted my nails (I didn't finish cleaning the sides properly when I took the picture).

Gotta Catch 'Em All

2011-12-24T16:52:00.000+11:00

I have this Pokemon mini gameboy which is not longer sold in the market and I finally received the new game I ordered for it which is Pokemon pinball. I'm so excited and I'm going to play the new game soon.

Crystal City

2011-12-23T16:40:00.002+11:00

Today I saw a ring similar to this and since I had the materials, I made this ring with a city full of crystals. It's quite big and chunky so I don't think I'll wear it but I still love it.

DIY: Multi Chain Bracelet

2011-12-20T18:49:00.003+11:00

Pliers, scissors, black suede thread, chain, clasp, jump rings.

Today, I got bored and made this bracelet and decided to share it. Enjoy!

Christmas Is Coming By

2011-12-18T18:59:00.000+11:00

I got the necklace as a gift from my mum's friend and I also bought some new clothes at their shop. In the blurry photo, I'm wearing this new top with an illusion pattern on it and lastly, I received some new shoes in the mail today and one of them was this pair of Adidas runners in my favourite colour, blue.

Christmas is also coming up soon and my mum ordered some new shoes for me online and they should arrive just after Christmas.

Simple Life

2011-12-14T16:46:00.000+11:00

Today I went to look at the house my mum bought since we're going to renovate it and this was my outfit of the day. I used the winged backpack that I made and wore an ear cuff I made. Overall, today was pretty good.

Moving Is Such A Hassle

2011-12-11T14:15:00.001+11:00

My mum has bought a house so we're moving in February but because we have a lot of things and I mean a lot, we need to start packing already. This is part of my make-up that I've packed and it's already taking up a box. My small plushies have taken up four large boxes and the large ones have taken up 3 I think but Mr. Bear doesn't fit in a box at all.
My holidays aren't that fun at the moment but it'll be great by next week when I start to go out.

As It Ends, It Restarts Again

2011-12-08T22:24:00.001+11:00

Today was the last day of school for most year nines since we have tute day tomorrow which is where each class goes and hangs out somewhere for the day. I got my kris kringle present today and I really liked what I received. I also received my wonder woman mascara in the mail today and I got my plastics product back (it's a door buzzer!!).

Celebrations That Happen Only Once A Year

2011-12-06T18:07:00.001+11:00

On Sunday, it was my dads birthday so we went and got a cake for him. While we were there, we also saw the boxes of macaroons so we got one and also a box of mini cakes which are only sold during the Christmas period. All of the food there is delicious and you can never get tired of the food there!

Old School

2011-12-03T06:02:00.000+11:00

Today I got some old sunglasses from my mum so I guess they're vintage Christian Dior sunglasses and I also got Chanel pallet of pink lip colours. More bits and pieces from my mum may be coming up in future posts.

As Summer Starts

2011-12-02T17:28:00.001+11:00

Today is the second day of summer and the weather is quite nice though there still is a cold breeze in the city. I wore my new top that I got not too long ago with a pair of plain black shorts and a pair of colourful Marc Jacobs shoes.
The holidays are coming up soon since school ends next week so I hope to have some fun when school ends!

Snapshots

2011-12-01T22:34:00.001+11:00

The first two photos where from the top of a ridge at Cathedral Ranges back when I did the bush walk with my class. It felt really good once I got up to the top because it seemed like all the walking had finally paid off.

The second two photos are of my really good friend (left) and I (right) and as you can see, I got a bit tanned from the bush walk. My skin wasn't that dark and was slightly similar to my friend's skin colour and now the tan is fading so it's nice that summer is finally here and I can start tanning at the beach.

Bag With Wings

2011-11-29T23:39:00.001+11:00

After 2 days of hard work, I've finally managed to get my last minute bag made for my textiles class. It's a little black bag with detachable wings on it and I put a layer of netting on the wings to give it a more unique than plain look. The strap is put through the eyelets as you can see, this is because I can change the strap(s) into other coloured/styled strap(s) if I wanted to. I was originally going to have a magnetic opening but I changed it to hooks because I didn't have enough time to go and buy the magnets but I still think it turned out pretty good.

I Don't Care About What You Do Unless It's About Me

2011-11-28T20:13:00.001+11:00

My dad opened a crystal workshop in Shanghai with my name in it (you can see on the box) and she made a crystal with my picture in it. The picture was taken way back in around 2005 or something at a professional place which took up so much time.

Today, I met up with my uncle and he gave me some make-up claiming it was from my cousin (his daughter) but she's still really young so I don't think she would know much about make-up yet. I love the lip stick colour since it's a light pink but I felt shattered after seeing the eyebrow pencil since I'm pretty sure that I do have eyebrows so I don't need to draw them but I still think it was nice of him.

A Dull Life Full Of Colours

2011-11-25T20:25:00.001+11:00

I've got a few new clothings and they're all from Europe since they were bought and brought back from there by my mum's friends. They have this amazing shop located in Toorak Village called Mon Amore Paris.

The Worst Is OVER

2011-11-18T19:40:00.001+11:00

Me with my sports top and messy hair....

From yesterday till today, I went on a bush walk at Cathedral Ranges State Park (school elective activity) but I though it was more of a hike due to most of the trees being burnt from previous bush fires and there weren't as much plants as expected. I'm so tired from the walk and I have the worst tan lines! T-shirt tan, gator tan and only my face is tanned but not my neck.
I'll probably upload some pictures I took of the view from the top of a somewhere we got to.

The Weather Is A Little Crazy Here

2011-11-03T23:34:00.000+11:00

Yesterday I went to docklands and got this new cropped jumper and the shorts from an online shop which I met up with. The weather hasn't been too stable lately as it's been hot and cold and then it's goes like that once again. It's summer not yet it still doesn't feel very much like it so I hope it does start to warm up soon. [:
I've also made some new items and they're all up on my Facebook page.

Wishes Come True When You Work Hard

2011-10-31T18:05:00.001+11:00

I've always wanted a pin board but could never find any small ones but today, I found one which was divided into two sides with the pin board on one side and a whiteboard on the other. I've also always wanted an iPod nano 5th generation which I finally got yesterday, it's a blue one and brand new. I guess my iPod nano collection is coming along quite well as I've only got the 1st and 6th generation to get but I don't like the 6th so I'm only getting the 1st.

I've also made some new items for my shop.

New In

2011-10-10T18:39:00.001+11:00

Yesterday I went with my mum to her friends shop and while I was there, I saw a "No Returns, No Refunds - ON Sale Items" stamp so I stamped my arm but by the time I got home and took the picture, it has smudged quite a bit.
Today, the bottles I ordered arrived and therefore I was able to make the necklaces above. Bottled dandelion, dyed marble dusk, dyed rock salt, feather and the glitter & rocks necklace.

Mr. Bear

2011-10-05T17:29:00.000+11:00

Yesterday I went to the city with my family then to Docklands which is where I got my 53 inch tall bear from. It only around 20cm taller than me which is quite sad because I wish I was taller, at least 160cm tall but I'm still only 153cm tall.
The necklace is this really cute butterfly shaped shell with a four leaf clover on it which I got for $2 and I've been wearing it since it arrived on Monday.
I got my friend to rate how Asian I looked in the picture of the bear and I and she rated 5, I guess she really doesn't think I look very Asian yet she doesn't believe that I have a very mixed cultured background.

The Sun Is Finally Kicking In

2011-09-29T00:10:00.001+10:00

Now that it is Spring, the sun is finally starting to appear more which is really good because now I can wear my shorts out but then today, the weather went all dull and started pouring and there was also lots of thunder.

I got this Royal Albert badge at a shop but this wasn't the badge I wanted, they happened to give me the wrong one but I didn't know because they wrapped it up straight away but I guess this one is still really nice.

Holidays Creations

2011-09-29T00:00:00.001+10:00

Third day into the holidays and I have a cold, I must admit that this is not the best thing. Although I have a cold, I'm still up and going with making jewellery and I have made a few new items such as necklaces, ear cuffs and phone charms.

I've also ordered a few items off eBay to make some new items with so I hope they'll arrive just after the holidays.

I also have a Facebook page now. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jewels-House/261831603846165

Bike Riding

2011-09-08T21:32:00.000+10:00

I haven't posted in a while because I've been really busy with school and my shop but here I am again.
Today at school, my Outdoor Education class went on a full day excursion where we rode our bikes from school to Ceres which is located in Brunswick I think so we rode from Richmond to Ceres which took around 1 & 1/2 hours with a few short rests. For me, it was pretty difficult because I only learnt how to ride a bike last Monday. Although today was very tiring due to riding the bikes for 2 hours and 35 minutes (1 & 1/2 there and 1 hr and 5 mins back), it was also pretty fun and I got to see lots of pretty views. I got 13 bruises in total though today, 9 on my left leg and 3 on my right. I hope my legs won't ache heaps tomorrow! [:

Decorations For The Neck

2011-08-23T17:27:00.001+10:00

Lately I haven't had much time to make anything due to school work. I still managed to make three dream catcher necklaces and one golden snitch necklace. The dreamcatchers weren't as hard I though it would be to make but due to the fact that my wire was really thin, it would break easily if I pulled too hard. I still hope to improve on my crafting ability so I'll be able to make even better items.

Patience Brings Out Success

2011-08-13T19:23:00.001+10:00

I haven't posted anything for over a week now and that is because I haven't had much time and I've been making many things and my laptop broke. I've been making friendship bracelets and the deathly hallows symbol pendant for my friends and I. Then I made two natural stone rings wrapped in wire which are joint together chains and a cross necklace which has many beads and some stones on it. While making these items, I kept poking my fingers with the wire since it's not that easy to bend and now my fingers are all in pain. The unicorn ring in the middle of my rings was bought from an online Facebook shop and I'm currently in love with the ring so much!

The Usual

2011-08-05T00:03:00.002+10:00

Yesterday I went to my mum's friend shop and she gave us some clothes and accessories that she thinks either doesn't suit her shop or items that she can't seem to sell. Apparently the jumper that I got looked too exaggerated therefore she didn't want to sell it and she gave it to me but I think it looks really good and unique with the netting outside of the jumper. I got the black Levi's high waisted shorts from my friend since she had lots of high waisted shorts and she only wanted to keep a few. The turquoise ring with the silver frame around it was made by me and the bird ring was also given to me by my mum's friend and the lip balm was a gift from another one of my mum's friend. The lip balm work very well since it doesn't come off for at least 4 hours and it makes my lips really soft. Then lastly, the two bags were also given to me by my mum's friend since she thought that the animal bag was too cute therefore it didn't suit her and she just gave me the other bag since she didn't want to sell it.

I haven't been too well lately, apparently I have a cold but I haven't been coughing or anything, I just have chest pains but I hope to get better real soon.

Camberwell Market

2011-07-31T14:08:00.002+10:00

Today I woke up at 6:30am (Sunday morning) and went to the Camberwell Market. I met up with two of my friends and we looked around and bought some items. In the first three pictures shows my outfit for today and the next picture shows the American flag tie top and the high waisted shorts I got yesterday from an online shop then in the last picture, it has the small dream catcher, horse charm and a pink pencil shaped rubber I got. The rotex labeller was free from a shop, all we had to do was say "thank you". It was a really fun morning and the first time I've actually bought items from there.

Shoppaholic

2011-07-24T12:46:00.003+10:00

I went on a shopping spree again yesterday and got the items above; USA flag top, bracelets on my right hand, sunnies and the fluffy bag. I also got some other little items online which I haven't yet received but they include a denim top, white sunnies, lovely bangle set and a plushie. I think I should really try and stop spending so much money and make more money instead.

Less in, More out

2011-07-21T19:13:00.003+10:00

I finally bought some new make-up and nail polish since I got more money over the few weeks. I also made a new ear cuff with a feather since it seems to be the new fashion now. I then made two new rings a few days ago since I love stones, crosses and eyes. Still thinking of more things to make and maybe I could make a tutorial one day.

Creative Little Hands

2011-07-15T20:19:00.003+10:00

Today I finally published my website for buying these ear cuffs. These are just a few designs but the are more on the website so feel free to take a look. Not only did I publish my website, I also got a haircut and two new rings. Now I'm off to making more ear cuffs after this post.

The website: jewelshouse.weebly.com

My hair now, it's more layered and lighter in colour after the haircut for some reason.

The two rings I got today.

New Items, More Excitement

2011-07-12T18:37:00.003+10:00

Today I met up with 2 shops, one for the wallet and the ring on my middle finger and the other shop for the Superdry tank which I traded for with items from my shop. I love the ring so much because it's an armor ring and it's really unique and thought that I'd post it online. Since I'm also friends with the shop whom I traded for the Superdry tank, I also got her to pick up some items from another shop for me but I don't have them with me so I can't take the picture but it's a set of ice-cream cups and spoons and a black iPod nano 4th generation. I've been shopping way too much now so I think I'll cut down on it after buying a pair of high waisted shorts which I have been longing for.

Good Things Happen Even Several Days After Your Birthday

2011-07-08T17:16:00.001+10:00

Today I went to the city to meet up with my friend because she wasn't able to go to my birthday party on Monday therefore she wanted to give me my birthday present today. The items above are what they were and they're all so lovely.

The Sun Awoke Her To A Lovely Day

2011-07-04T23:25:00.002+10:00

Yesterday was my birthday and I stayed home without doing much because it was a Sunday. Therefore today, I went out with a group of friends and hanged out in the city. It was pretty fun and I got a lot of toys. We went to Galactic Circus which is located in Crown and we also went to Photo World to take photos and playing on clawing games. The day ended with me taking pictures with the people who were left after some people went to other places.

The Flash Took Her To Another World

2011-06-28T21:41:00.001+10:00

Today I was really bored and all so then I decided to take a picture of myself with my polaroid that I got at the start of the year. The picture came out much better than expected because it even captured the grey contacts perfectly unlike other cameras. Not much else to say I guess.

Flying Through The Night

2011-06-20T00:00:00.002+10:00

I really like owls and last night I saw a really cute felted owl pouch online therefore I decided to go and buy some felt to make one and here is my finished product. I'm very pleased with it and it is my new pencil case now.

Bad Days Aren't Always That Bad

2011-06-16T20:19:00.002+10:00

So today my cold became worse so I didn't go to school and went shopping before I met up with some customers from my shop. I got the five pacers above and the sunglasses. I got the pacers because I thought that they were all really cute but the red pacer in the middle was especially cute because it says on it "good luck with your future".

I had been longing for aviator sunglasses for a long time already and today, I finally got a pair. I don't think it looks particularly good on me but I don't care, I like them anyways.

Shopping After One Long Day

2011-06-10T19:35:00.003+10:00

Today I went to the doctors since I'm sick again but I got some new accessories from Diva after I finished meeting up with all my customers for the day.

First Post

2011-06-06T19:07:00.001+10:00

Hii, this is my first post on Blogspot. :)

I'm Vika, turning 15 in July from Melbourne, Australia.

This blog will have lots of random posts that may relate to me.

I started this blog because I want to share random things with people.
