DRESS: New Look

RINGS: H&M

NECKLACE: Tiffany's

On Sunday I had my works Christmas Meal which was organised by yours truly (and two other co-workers). Being students who work at the students bar this meal means a lot as it's one of the only nights where everyone isn't working (we have it after term breaks up) and everyone gets dressed up all nice and fancy.

The meal was soooo good! I had chicken and duck ballontine for a starter, braised blade of beef with mustard mash and bailey's cheesecake to finish. Not to mention A LOT of wine! In fact the pics I took of my outfit are pretty much the only pics I took all night haha, what am I like!

Big thanks to my friend Welshie for sorting out my hair!!

Blazer: River Island

Top: H&M

Necklace: H&M

Leggings: Topshop

Boots: Missguided

Being a third year uni student, all I ever seem to be doing is sleep, go to the library, work, if I have enough time eat and repeat. Naturally doing this constantly can get a bit frustrating so it's good to let your hair down for a night.  My friend Jess and I were feeling a bit blah one Friday night so we thought F*CK IT! Lets go out! We didn't want to do anything to wild like going to the student club night "The Eskimo Project" in Portsmouth, so we settled on Albert Road which has some really nice bars and pubs. 

For the occasion I felt like dressing up a bit but still having the semi casual vibe, so I teamed my maroon crop top from H&M (found in the basics section) with my new Topshop leggings to add a bit of a statement I wore my white blazer from River Island I had gotten in the sale the previous summer. To top it all off I wore my newly acquired boots from Missguided (they had sold out but had come back in stock YAY) and a plain silver necklace from H&M. Makeup wise I had a nude brown lipstick from Seventeen in Fond Farewell (see my Top 4 Fav Dark Lipsticks) and my classic winged eyeliner with various shades of natural coloured (Browns and Golds) eyeshadow from my MUA Palette.

Shirt: burnout Alexander Wang
Trousers: fake leather from Temt
Bum bag: Ebay (heaps to choose from!)
Shoes: London Rebel from ASOS

Last Friday night Our House Festival hit New Zealand. Every year DJs like Calvin Harris, David Guetta, and Zedd perform and this year it was Steve Aoki and Skrillex who headlined.
For the event i definitely did not want to wear heels or a dress but i still wanted to keep things light as i knew there would be a lot of sweaty bodies and a lot of dancing was going to go down.
I settled on all black everything because you can never go wrong with an all black outfit.
Lipstick is shade 20 from the Kate Moss Rimmel London range and choker is also from ASOS.

What So Not and MK were also on the lineup but i only showed up in time to see the two headliners.
The legendary Steve Aoki was the first headliner up and he made sure that we didn't miss out on the whole Aoki experience so there were cakes, an inflatable boat, and champagne! Steve Aoki played all his big hits from Phat Bram, Freak, Boneless with an awesome intro from Simon Says by Pharoahe Monch, Free The Madness, Rage The Night Away, and he ended his set with crowd pleaser Pursuit of Happiness. He definitely knows how to get the crowd super pumped and ready for more madness throughout the night.
Skrillex opened his set with his track My Name Is Skrillex, it took a few minutes for me to get into the set because it was so loud i couldn't hear anything from the ringing in my ears but eventually i got into it. Skrillex was a lot more heavy than Steve Aoki, or as my friend put it a lot more 'dirty' but he was just as good and as fans of his from his days prior to being a DJ and fronting From First to Last to now he knows to work a crowd and did not disappoint. Following his opener Skrillex played First of the Year (Equinox), Bangarang, Wild For the Night, Promises, Summer, Rock N' Roll, and Cinema to name a few.

As a massive EDM fan i'm so happy EDM is getting bigger here. Now there's a new summer dance festival hitting Auckland called Summer Sound System where Avicii, Martin Garrix, and Afrojack are going to play next year. Haven't seen Martin Garrix yet but i've been dying to for awhile and i can't wait to see the other two again on home soil!

A couple of weeks ago a few of my friends thought we should all go out for drinks, nothing to fancy so I thought I'd keep my look casual but still a bit dressy. For our anniversary my boyfriend bought me this lovely white quilted texture top with beading detail, which I thought would be perfect for the occasion. I teamed that with my fav pair of jeans at the moment, my black Asos jeans with rips in the knees (sooooo comfy) and my ever so faithful ASOS Airplane Chelsea Ankle Boots. To add a bit of edge to the outfit I wore my choker necklace with cross charm to give it a more 90's feel.

OUTFIT

Playsuit: Oh My Love

Clutch: Primark

Boots: ASOS

Necklace: New Look

It was my birthday last Thursday, and as such I thought I'd head out for dinner and drinks with a few girls from University. I decided on my fav restaurant Wagamama's (can't get enough of that Chicken Katsu Curry) and also having a couple of 2-4-1 cocktails at Bar 38 down at Gunwharf Quays. It was a lovely night full of laughs and chatter. Perfect way to start my 27th year on earth. 

For the occasion my housemate (and close friend) Jess bought me a black and white chequered playsuit and black clutch bag, so I thought it only fair to wear that out for the evening. I teamed it with my go to chunky heel chelsea boots from ASOS, black belt and a necklace I got for my birthday the previous year.  

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I've always wanted to dress up as Wednesday Addams for Halloween but no matter how hard i looked i could never find the perfect dress! I wanted Sophie's which she got from ASOS but by the time i went to buy it my size was sold out, luckily I found this one which I preferred because of the lace detail. I'm wearing mine with my trusty black knee high socks that I also purchased from ASOS and my Jeffrey Campbell Lita's  which aren't very Wednesday Addams but I just love them too much. Wednesday's hair is very sleek and tightly braided but I just can't rock that look without my face looking huge so (you can't really tell) but my braids are loose and a bit messy at the top to make my hair look less flat. I'm wearing Gothic Glam lipstick in the colour Scorned 2 and I've added a bit more bronzer than usual under my cheekbones to give me a more gaunt/dead look.

Wednesday Adams speaks to me on a spiritual level, whether it's her hatred for people or if it's just her love for the colour black. I used to wish I could be just like her and have been on the hunt for a dress like hers for awhile. I finally stumbled across a style via Katie Snooks where she had done an ASOS haul and I knew I had to have it. It's super comfy and I love the contrasting white cuffs and collar. My hair isn't as black as Wednesday's or as long so my plaits are relatively shorter (which i feel gives off a more house on the prairie vibe). I teamed this all with a pair of black and my chunky heeled chelsea boots. As for makeup I kept the look simple. I used Sephora Gel Eyeliner to give off a subtle cat eye flick and then used a small amount of my Sephora Full Action mascara. For my lips I used Gothic Glam in Scorned 2 (same as Krizia).
