Christmas Dinner

Top: Cotton On, Singlet: Jay Jays, Cardigan: Glassons, Skirt: Anna Sui, Shoes: No. 1 Shoe Warehouse

Had a Christmas dinner at Masala last night with some good friends. It was amazing! Been craving Indian for ages and actually also just yesterday. Sooo filling. I want more! >_< 

I also think this outfit is really nice. Got given the skirt from a photographer I worked with just last week. Goes very well with the top I got for work cos I'd forgotten to get a plain white/black coloured top! D: But wanted a top like that anyway! It was on sale too! :D

you put it down like new york city

I haven't been wearing dressses due to me being employed!!! I have given up unfortunatey :( maybe next year.... at least I tried 50% of the month..... I think.

Anyways! I bought this new top from Cotton On cos I was desperately needing a white top for work. I forgot to get another one at home before I left! T_____T forgetful is my middle name. I really like the flowiness of it, ever since I modelled this similar loose-fitting top, I wanted one. And now I have one! :D

What do you guys think?



I am also seriously in love with that song right now!

Dressember #13

Dressember #13: 13.12.11

So, this isn't actually the "9th" dress... I skipped a few days because I actually didn't feel like wearing a dress and the day's occasion didn't call for a dress/I don't own dresses that I could rock up to a job interview for, unfortunately!

But, however I have returned! Although.... one of those 5 days, I think I wore a dress, or actually the same dress. I will have a photo and entry up on that sometime. For the while, dress bought to you by Glassons! :]

i don't know where you're going

Dressember #8: 08.12.11

Dress: Cleo Magazine.

1 dress, 7 ways to wear it. Got it with my issue of Cleo today.... but I didn't really think about what I was to do afterwards and could have gotten the money reimbursed if I bought it mystery shopping.... oh well.

Dressember #6: 06.12.11

Dress: Factorie

Just a simple day at home with one errand. I think this week has just been a week of simple dresses, next week, will (have to) start to add belts and... other accessories? Not sure if I have any other type of accessories other than belts!

Lady Who High Teas (Dressember #4)

 Dressember #4 (04.12.11)

Dress: Pagani; Cardigan: Jay Jays; Shoes: No. 1 Shoe Warehouse

Yesterday went to high tea with three of my good friends and it was amazing. Pictures here at my blog. After high tea, we joined Peter and Daniel at Sylvia Park for a spot of shopping and (one) CV dropping for me :) The day was rounded off with dinner at Tasca with two family friends. It was a lovely end to a lovely chilled day with friends. I love my friends so much.

Green Envy? (Dressember #3)

Dressember Day 3 (03.12.11)


Not entirely sure why I picked this dress over the other dresses that were in the "available to wear" pile... but pretty much coordinated my entire outfit to the colour green!

I actually once did unintentionally! I have a green dress, shoes, bracelet and if only I had a green headband on... which I may have but I don't remember. Definitely a St. Partrick's Day outfit... if only it were St Paddy's Day that day. And today..

Dress: Pagani; Shoes: No. 1 Shoe Warehouse

Edit// Yeah... didn't actually end up going out anywhere today, not in this outfit anyway. Just wore it around the house while doing some house work :)

Baby you light up my world like noone else (Dressember #2)

Dressember Day #2 (02.12.11)

I quite like this dress. It shows off all of the right curves tehe. Fits real well but not too tight that I can't move! It's also a real nice summery design! I absoultely love it!

Dress: Valleygirl;  Cardigan: Jay Jays; Shoes: No.1 Shoe Warehouse

I have also noted in my closet, there are about 20 dresses and so you could say that I have 20 days of this month covered! But some of the dresses are too formal and such. So will have to pull out the accessories, like my recently acquired three belts!

DRESSEMBER!

Dressember! A fun new challenge I found via one of my friends, Louella who had liked it. Dressember is similar to another challenge I did, the 30 for 30 Remix from Kendi Everyday but with Dressember, instead of only choosing 30 items for the whole month, it's just wearing a dress everyday for December and it's for a cause as well! Head over to Dressember and find out the specifics of it! :) First photo for yesterday and will prob post today's one later tonight... or tomorrow.

did we chase the rabbit into wonderland?

Mystery Shopping. A 21st and window shopping. I can't believe I get paid to go into a shop and enquire about a faux trip. :P I love it. Something I don't love is the tax I have to pay next tax year! D:

Anyways, the outfit for today~ something simple. I also felt very under dressed. I thought the 21st/birthday celebration was just going to be a group of friends, didn't think it would be other people there as well. But, it wasn't overly casual :)

Top: Valleygirl

Skirt: Forever New

Cardigan: Jay Jays

Shoes: No.1 ShoeWarehouse

The top and shoes are possibly still available for purchase at the stores. Might even be discounted! ;) And, what do you think of the top tucked?

And, here's a song that I'm loving atm and that I picked a lyric from for this entry =)

my heart's a stereo, it beats for you so listen close

Not exactly my outfit post but was in town for mystery shopping and just had to pop into Glassons. One of my favourite stores, mainly for the prices and, I do like most of their pieces.... this is also pretty much a wish list! Oh I wish I had money. I need to get my stuff together and find myself a job! ASAP!

Anyways, beautiful photos of (even more) beautiful clothes, and me! Outift post coming this week, sometime!

Everything in the above two photos are from Glassons. I want that skirt. So... free and flowy! Same with the dress!!

I just LOVE this dress! It's so different, but I need more "gift" for it to wor... though works a little?

Left: Top and skirt in one? From an asian shop. Really reasonably priced too! T_T Right: Dress from Pagani. I want it... cos I don't have anything like it in my wardrobe? :D

 

Shirt Dress from Pagani and... some sort of really nice bright orange dress from Portmans! :D

 

I want these shoes! And the best bit is that they are all UNDER $30! o_o

That Little Bit of Green~

Soo delayed, I'm sorry! I promise I will keep up to date with posts! But, this week I have taken some (two) photos of my outfits so expect outfit posts! :) Hopefully there will be little shopping trip photos tooo, I need feedback ^^ Enjoy tonight's little post~

 

The green colour flows all the way through to my make up, which you can just see. Green eyeliner + green B.Y.S nail polish and OPI's Teenage Dream from Katy Perry's collection. (the pic on the right is also enhanced to show the green).

Oh and I own two belts now! I need to punch holes in them though to make them fit around my tiny waist and such! Picked them up for $11 altogether - bargain :)

I don't know what to put here.

I'm planning/wanting to and thinking about cutting my hair on Friday just before my joint birthday celebration with one of my friends and the top row is the length I want it with a possible side fringe and the bottom is how I want the fringe... particularly the first and last... I also want the fringe to be able to be swept to the side, if need be and I guess for versatility.  Below is pretty much my current hairstyle... also trimmed the fringe myself, the best job thus far if I do say so myself. ;)

Just having taken a pic of my hairstyle... I don't think I want to change it. I think I did quite a good job with my fringe having it being SORTA similar to the first two on the bottom of the pic above.... but tell me what you think. I really do want to change my hairstyle... maybe just make it a tad more similar to Nicole Richie or Rihanna's.....

It's been a long time since I came around

Dress: Pagani; Shoes: Gift; Jacket: Valleygirl

It feels like summer. But it's not. It's spring. This is what I wore yesterday. I like how this dress fits but the only downside is that I'm not "well-endowed" in that area. I think I need to get dress (and tops) that are not (low-)cut like that.. I should probably sell it since well, I don't fit it (80%) but.... who knows, you know~

Shoes/heels (kitten) that I got for my early birthday present from my friend when we went shopping. Oh, how I wish I had (extra/spare) money! I so wanted some shoes like these. I don't own any closed-toe heels. I prefer kitten heels though, not so high. So I won't die.

And, I also painted my nails again. This navy/dark blue that I got from Bling in Sylvia Park, $5! I think they're closing down? Everything, almost everything was reduced... It's really nice. First time I had something on my nails that wasn't pink, red or anything close to that... I actually only own pink and red family nail polishes! Birthday, going to ask for other colours, like these grape (OPI Funky Donkey and Pamplona Purple) and turquioise (Essie Turqouise and Caicos and OPI Orge the Top) colours! :)

Also, thinking I might need to schedule/have draft posts just in case I don't feel the 'spontaneous inspiration' when it comes time for an entry...

Colour blocking. On my nails

I painted my nails tonight and lately I've not been 'feeling' nail colours. But I do really feel this. Turned out super nice. If only I had those strips..

Meow~

I want this shirt that Taylor Swift has! I also just love her whole outfit! Outfit post coming soon!

Shades of Purple

Top: Cotton On Skirt: Pagani Tights: $3 Japan and somewhere else, Farmers maybe? Jacket: Valleygirl Shoes: No. 1 Shoe Warehouse Bag: San Michelle

Today, I had a job interview and of course to set any outfit to have that 'semi-formal' look would be a fitted blazer. I didn't intentionally make it all shades of purple! >_< I just wanted to add some difference and got changed a few times! 

What do you think? Does the skirt work? I scored it at Pagani Outlet Store out in West Auckland for $15! Score! The Pagani Outlet Store pretty has all the sale items in one place and at times cheaper! I love Pagani <3 I love that they have size six!!!

Anyways. Hopefully, tomorrow will post some (or all, most probably) my recent purchases! =] I'm also thinking of changing the name of the blog. Again. Cos I quite like how the Glee girls pull off headbands (when they did Halo/Walkin' on Sunshine. Loved the headbands too and the bright costumes!!). I am absolutely in love with headbands and really do believe they finish an outfit! And I pretty much dedicated a whole pargraph to Glee! Lol. >.<

Revived Wants

Ok. So I have decided to revive this little fashion blog of mine and I've also decided on a new name. Dresses  & Bows is the new name. Originally thought about I Live in Dresses and then somehow felt that 'Dresses n Bows' better encapsulate my personality and how and what I want my style to be... cute. It sounds cute :)  I also love headbands and think they are one of many ways that an outfit can be finished or added to! I will try and update weekly at least once with outfits I wear. I should and want to keep a tab of what I wear. =] Enjoy! ^^

Side note, I have also discovered the joys of make up to accentuate my features, like having that natural flushed look.... I need to work on it, though.

And, to kick things, the first of this blog's (second if you count from my other blog too) Things I Want feature! I would also like to say I predominately shop at Glassons, Pagani, Valley Girl, Temt and Supre and some other ones that I've forgotten but I don't think I have. Anyways....

 Summeryyyy. Even though it's winter here, doesn't mean my clothes can't live and be as if it is summer! ^^

Very cute dress. A dress I can dress up or down! I don't know which colour I like better. I'm thinking the darker one....

Another dress you can dress up or down! I'm actually looking for more 'casual' dresses.. have way too many formal ones!! 

I want the 'ditzy' skirt. Very chic!

*These are all part of Glassons' new Flower Girl collection and available online or in store! My picks and what i want. If you can't tell... I love dresses! >_<

Neglect

I know that I have definitely been neglecting this since I finished 30 for 30. I will photograph my outfit tomorrow... I know that I probably should have continued but... well, started a new job and well, adjusting to the new waking up time and so don't have that much time to document, and then I get tired (after only working three) hours >_<) I'm sorry. I do admit it'll be nice for me to document some of or all of what I wear to work. For now, here's a pic of what I wore on Wednesday 4th May for my friend's graduation... it's pretty much one of my 30 for 30 outfits but with a pink jacket.

Top: Pagani; Jacket: Unknown; Skirt: Glassons; Shoes: The Warehouse (Garage)

I don't know but dressing like this makes me look (obviously!) more polished, put together and just in general nice...

30 for 30: 27/30

Dress: Glasssons; Cardigan: Glassons Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

Nearly this whole outfit is from Glassons with exception to the shoes and stockings! Hence the title. Just a day... or night of shopping at the mall and having a nice dinner with bf. ^^
