OZ WINTER: layers and basics

 1:
I love winter. Mainly cause you can layer anything and everything on. So this first one is just a basic knit jumper, paired with mid waist pants and sandals. I would wear some nice winter boots with these, but i am still waiting to invest in some nice ones...  I added some contrast to it through the "shining, shimmering" scarf. It was a very comfy and warm fit for the day i think.

-jumper: thrifted $10

-jeans: Wrangler $80

-shoes: Rubi $15

2:
Like i said. LAYERS. LAYERS. LAYERS. if you know me, i love wearing loose clothing. I hardly ever wear tight fitting clothes. So i just loved how comfy this was. I basically layered my mums coat, on a khaki green button up and just a basic black shirt and mid waist jeans. I also paired it with some thrifted flats that matched the khaki button up.

-coat: Millers $20

-button up: Rivers $20
-jeans: Lee $70
-shoes: thrifted $5

Ok, so i am having this thing where i am just really loving basics with a fling. idk if i said that right. Basically, i recently bought a whole lot of these longsleeve tops, that are free flowing, and i love it. By "a whole lot" i mean two.  I felt like a black day this day, but i brought a touch of colour through the scarf as usual. 

-top: Giordano $5?!?!?!?

-leggings: target $10

-shoes: same as first

-scarf: idk 

Ok, that is all for this weeks post, i shall be back in two weeks. Mwa

OZ WINTER: outfit idea 1

Okay, so i havent kept my weekly blog post promise, but I am attempting to do a new post fortnighlt this winter :)
Ok, so in topsy turvy town, winter just recently started in the month of june. This is a bit late to start, but better late than never :)

Here, is my first OZWINTER outfit idea.

- coat: ValleyGirl $10 (from $70 :0)

-trousers: UniQlo $35

-shoes: JayJays $20

-scarf: ebay $15

I wore this out to the city at night, and it was probably one of the windiest nights. I was so happy when I bought this coat, because i have just been really loving it. And the pink is such a nice pop of colour in a winter wardrobe. The pink was enough colour for me, so i oretty much stayed by the winter rule of black for the rest of my outfit. 

These trousers are also one of my favourite go to pieces, cause they are so comfortable aahhh. And i love the print on them.

Expect to see more knits and coats for the rest of OZWINTER ideas :)

Enjoy!

 #1- Makeup:
 I do only buy drugstore products because I have easier access to them and I feel that I can actualy use it as much as I can without being scared of spending a whole lot more money for replacements. Priceline had some 3 for 2 deals and whatnot so I was excited.

Nike Liberty Roshes- $190

 #3- Bottomwear:
It is getting cold out, and I realised that I only have jeans in my wardrobe. I wanted something that will be easy to wear in the winter and is really comfy and warm, so I spent some money investing in some trousers.

GRWM: everyday makeup routine

So like i said in my past posts, sorry i haven't been able to post :( just no time at all. But today (well yesterday) i had the whole day to myself so i thought "its blogging time" and so i filmed an everyday makeup routine, because i was going out to the shops. So yeh, hope you enjoy :)

This is quite heavy makeup, in comparison to others but thats bc i have the roundest and discoloured face so i have a lot of concealing and contouring to do. When i say everyday, it means the days when i go out to uni, or my friends and during the weekend.

Some of the products i used were also philippine drugstore brands that i loveddd. So im sure you guys can find another alternative here in aus, or wherever you are :)

Without further adieu, heres to the debut of my many future youtube videos :)

Also, dont forget to comment, rate and subscribe! :) 

Expect to have a new youtube video up every fortnight and a new blogpost everyweek :) i shall try and do that from now :)

Mercedez Benz Fahion Week: Australia

So like I haven't been able to post at all for quite a while, and I am very very sorry. I have been hammered by work and uni and I haven't been able to post at all. So I hope you guys enjoy :)

This week was Mercedez Benz Fashion Week in the land down under, and I am so sad that I wasn't able to be part of the volunteer team due to UNI, but I hope I will be able to next time. I think it would have been an absolute memorable experience to be backstage during the show, and just seeing how everything goes on.

I was very very impressed by some of the designers collections this year, because they were actually wearable clothes. Not like others, that are so so out there only Lady Gaga can wear them. There was over 50 designers that showcased in Sydney all throughout the week, some of them are well known while others some may have never even heard of.

Soo, here are my top 3 fave collections. enjoy!

Alice McCall

This collection was all about the colour, detailing and the fun. I absolutely love the pastel palette incorporated in it, as well as the layering in some of these designs. Off-Shoulder dresses, playsuits and blouses are so in, and this collection proves how stunning it is, especially when paired with a 'sweetheart' neckline. Like I said, this is a very wearable collection that can be worn at formal occasions; I can see these designs to be worn at the races.













Cameo

Cameo is known for their experimental and visionary designs, meaning they have set an innovative level of a way to dress. Like the McCall collection, there are also a lot of off shoulder designs, paired with a lot of drape and layering. This collection proves that peplum is far from over, by just adding to a few changes to a classic peplum shape. One of my favourites recently is the simple lace overlays and applique, and I think this collection did that some justice. This collection can be worn from smart casual events to strictly formal occasions.

Raffles College of Design

This collection is not by one well known designer, instead it has been compiled by 6 different aspiring designers who have really proved themselves. The details, layers, use of colour and just the sense of uniqueness in their designs show that they are on their way to success. They have really lived up to the trends on the catwalk this week, which is one of the essentials of being a fashion designer. But at the same time they have done so in each of their own different way. Their designs were elegant, sleek and smooth. Definitely some inspiration for formal wear.



Honestly, out of these three collections I don't have a favourite, but I'm sure everyone has their own taste, so feel free to check out some of the other designers' work this week.

Dramatic Actress Portrait

So like, i have never EVER modelled in my life. HAHAH. But this was so fun. It was pretty much for a friends assignment check out his blog here 

I was pretty awkward at first because there was light everywhere and I pretty much had to be heaps dramatic bc yeh the theme. I also had to look into the light like half the time, so i was blind half the time. But it was heaps good. I did my own makeup, which I am not fairly happy about. But it was still ok i guess because it was all about the lighting and the photography.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BACKGROUND. AND I THINK MY BLACK AND WHITE OUTFIT DID SOME VERY GREAT CONTRASTING. 

So yah enjoy :)  hopefully we get to collab some more for future blog shoots :) 

Love, VeraCzarina
