DIY hand chain

So I guess this is my little 'I'm-sorry-I-never-got-around-to-a-proper-post-this-week' post. But if it's any consellation I'll let you in on a little secret..

I will be working at the Peeptoe Shoes warehouse sale next weekend! The sale begins Friday 13th August until Sunday 15th August at:

Building 4/ 190 Bourke Rd,
Alexandria
NSW, 2015

We'll be open from: Fri: 9am - 5:30pm, Sat: 9am - 5:30pm and Sun: 9am - 5:30pm

There will be shoes from $75, clutches from $20 and jewellery from $5!

Looking forward to seeing you all there, I'll be back to regular postings as soon as I get a little more time to myself in the week but for now I bid you farewell and..
happy shoe shopping!

Giraffe Banquet

To my dear readers,

Today, you are cordially invited to join me at the Giraffe Banquet. Here you will be offered a selection of hand-made neck pieces, felt chocolate brooches and other inimitable little treasures to help you dress to impress at your next banquet.

From a small little studio in Annangrove, my talented friend Jimmy Le and his fellow GB team have been gracing the Glebe markets and you can now find their designs online. Here's a sneak peak at some of the things GB has to offer. To see more click on the circle above to shop at Giraffe Banquet!

The reason why I've also included a circle link to my popshop is because there are now further reductions on almost all items in store! There is also a maximum 5 day hold on all sale items and feel free to formspring me for any queries.

And for those that have been wondering, the LV in my last post was a Damier Graphite Multiple wallet and I'm happy to say that Jermz liked the gift (: so hopefully I'll have time to get it engraved within the next week. In addition to good news (despite the mild bruising) my chin also made a miraculous recovery on Wednesday so I'm glad to have my chin back for the weekend!....and for this post of course! Hahahaha

What's been on my nails:
Left: Suzi Skies In the Pyrenees from OPI's Suede collection, Right: Milani 3D Hi-Res

I will have my (very delayed) DIY jumper and all swatches of the Suede Collection and Milani 3D polishes ready for the next post. See you then! (:

Blood orange lipstick, my new best friend.

And like a baby fawn walking for the first time, Saturday night I let my chin break my fall...which probably wasn't the smartest thing to do but at least all my teeth are still in tact or that last picture wouldn't have been a smile hahaha

I decided to blog today because I can finally reveal a gift I purchased earlier this week for someone who I hold dear to my heart. I won't open it entirely yet until I'm sure I've picked the right one so that I can take it back to LV to get it engraved but I hope you like it. I hope you know how special you are to me. Happy Birthday Jermz (:

and although this is completely unrelated - after attending the Good Food & Wine show on Sunday, that night while taking a stroll down George Street there he was... Ashton Kutcher for the premiere of Killers! Fate had brought us together, there is simply no better explanation! Hahaha

I hope everybody has had a wonderful and safe holiday so far and don't balance on a ledge in your stilettos!

Drip Drape

Ksubi Top, DIY body chain, Bardot skirt

I've been meaning to get some things off my chest....and onto my feet! hahaha

Mirror mirror on these shoes...please tell me how to overcome the credit card woes that come with you. I woulld really appreciate it if somebody could forward a message to Mr Jeffrey Campbell to let him know that he will be held responsible for my early demise. These Xmas, Clinic, Exam and Xanadu wedges have me wrapped!

With all shoe business aside I'm finally free of exams, home from a wonderful getaway in QLD and ready to get back into the swing of things! I've had a couple of things on my blogging agenda but I'm in the process of collating things for ANNIEPOPSHOP (which I plan to have up before the end of tonight!) so I'll get to all request posts soon after.

As for the formspringer that asked about the things I managed to grab from the Minkpink sale, I've been able to snap up a few pics for you during the process :D

I'll be sure to come back and answer all formspring questions + edit this post with an announcement once new things in the popshop are up so I will ttys! (:

What's' on my nails: OPI My Private Jet + L.A Girl Double Platinum

I O U

I figured I should at least say goodbye before I go to QLD this afternoon. It will only be a short 5-day trip but I wanted to make a quick post before the month ends.

I will be back to my regular (and lengthy) postings very soon and I'll make sure to answer my formspring questions as soon as I get back (:

In the valley

I think it's about time I turn over a new leaf. As of late my entries lack all substance and consistency ... to be honest the two or three entries I've been posting a month have all been due to procrastination and not much else. In a little over three weeks I'll be free of exams and I'll have time for more outfit posts, perhaps a tutorial here and there and more photos taken outdoors (even if the weather forbids it!) It might not be a valuable contribution to society but I miss how my blog used to be.

Blingin' nails.

I know this is a flimsy post..a poor effort for somebody who's been on blogging hiatus for the past month, I know. But I've misplaced my camera charger so I haven't had the time or tools for a hearty post and good quality images but hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things soon!

Exams aside, I have three extra things to look forwards to: Buble, Ne-yo and..Japan! Experiences which I can share with my new best friends, namely my thigh high suede boots and my fringed open toe booties. Ahhh, it feels good to finally satisfy my shoe cravings!

I've taken three weeks off work for exam preparation and I'm kind of relieved I won't be assigned to the denim wall while Bardot is having a $99 sale on all denim, the sale ends next week so hurry hurry hurry! Our genuine leather jackets are also down to $199 - an offer I could hardly refuse and scored myself a nice warm Leather Waterfall Jacket.... and so too should you! Hahaha

Now, I haven't been too good with saving this week but I found a way to assure myself that these are the necessities for winter hahaha I also have a DIY post coming up for the jumper I've made in the first picture which I'll have up and running once I find my camera charger!

(Suede thigh high boots by ZU, Fringed open toe booties by Huizeima, Cuff and ring by Collette, rings my Diva, Blazer by Forever New, Leather Waterfall Jacket by Bardot)

For the second half of this post I must thank Amanda for showing me the wonderful ways of L.A girl polishes! Super cheap nail varnishes with two new great limited edition collections: Matte and Rockstar. I've barely had the time to decorate my own nails so I don't have swatches up yet but it's probably best I save those for my better quality camera. For now I hope these images will suffice!

L.A Girl Matte polishes

L-R: Matte Plum, Matte Alpine Green

L-R: Matte Sky Blue, Matte Lilac

L.A Girl Rockstar polishes

L-R: Double Platinum, Overdose

These two are without a doubt my two favourite colours, these photos just don't do them justice! Double Platinum is a very sheer grey/taupe colour with holographic glitter specs, the glitter is amazing in the light. I wish all my polishes were holographic! Overdose looks very similar to OPI's Mad as a Hatter but the glitter specs are slightly finer, and there is a lot more purple than there is silver. Two wonderful colours.

L-R: Punk, Groupie

Rockstar

Any questions? http://www.formspring.me/annnieo

and before I sign off, Congratulations to Jeremy Vo for winning the AVHPA karaoke competition last night! So proud! (: hahaha

ANNIEPOPSHOP

ANNIEPOPSHOP is finally up and running!

Anonymous: hey annieo just wondering if you know whether bardot can help direct me as to where i can get replacement studs for my cinderbox jacket? =/ and can you suggest a good type of glue that will actually make the studs stick on for longer? :(
I'm not sure if Lincraft or Spotlight have any similar replacement studs but I think you're best off getting a hot glue gun to glue them back to the garment. It sucks to hear that the studs are coming off the cinderbox jacket! :(


Anonymous: Hey Annie, you should really stop putting exclaimation marks after your sentences LOL it sounds like you're yelling at us =( ...=(
LOL! Even through writing I can't seem to keep my voice down hahahaha, I'm sorry! I know I do it out of habit but the exclamation marks are usually an expression of excitement and not anger so I hope I haven't scared anybody away!
