Craft Beer Bar

So after going AWOL for a good couple of months I decided to come back. I don't know, but I always felt pressured to always post an outfit post but with the life I am currently having its hard.

I recently went to Sydney a couple of weeks ago, just a week before I resumed to Uni. My life after I left Sydney was just a month of terrible events; first - my luggage went missing in the airport, second – my laptop and my friends laptop along with my eBook reader my boyfriend got me for my birthday was stolen, third – I cut my hand trying to catch a glass at work, forth – probably a whole bunch of things but they were little compared to my major ones.

After all these things happen to me, I have very little faith in my life. I thought at one point it was Karma but I don’t think I have done anything THAT BAD to cause this. I pretty much just study, hang out with my friends/boyfriend and work. So I do not know what I did.

Anyway, for the longest time I stopped buying clothes and just simply did not care about what I wore. Well of course, I am not just going to show up wearing pyjamas but anything presentable will do. Maybe because I feel insecure all the time due to gaining weight (still attempting to eat clean and failing horribly). I then turned out to become a foodie (this makes me sound completely obese). Today after Uni, I discovered this bar and it has the nicest beers ever! And the setting is so cosy. It’s called Craft Beer Bar at the Embassy and it’s such a nice chilled place to hang out.

We got this beer that had a white chocolate after-taste that was amazing. I hate beer so this is saying something. I rarely drink because I am so light-weight, the only time I would drink is at an occasion or if I was going out. Other than that I do not enjoy drinking partially because I turn into a tomato and I look like I just broke out in hives so, I tend to avoid it majority of the time.

Anyway, I better head to sleep now because it is about to hit midnight and I have to wake up in 7 hours to go running from Southbank to my house which is about 6km apart? This is probably my billionth time I have attempted to get fit, but better that than nothing. I have a lot of respect for people who can eat clean, exercise and completely restrict themselves to everything. I find it impossibly hard to do that so I just do what I can.

Lots of love,

Lust Have It (November) Review

It's been ages since I have last blogged. Holidays have started, actually I have been on holidays for the past 2 weeks, I painted my whole house with my brother. Died but we finally finished painting 2 weeks later. Anyway, I wanted to do a Review on Lust have it !!
I found out about it mid to the end of November? It's kind of like the american version of Birchbox. You pay $15 a month and they send you products to your home. So anyway, I ordered this, tried it out for the sake of it when I should actually be saving.


Anyway today, I got this package pop up on my doorstep! it came in a white box and when I opened it I saw the orange bag inside, its actually a really good bag. I was thinking to store my makeup brushes in it.

Inside the bag I got these products - a moisturiser,tweezers, mascara, dead end repair cream and cleansing wipes. When I looked at the products, I was kind of let down because personally I am a makeup type of person. But the products they gave me are definitely stuff I would use so it didn't feel like I was wasting my money.

So my first product was the tweezers! I don't really like the whole patterned flower thing going on with them. Tweezers are tweezers, probably just should have stayed silver. On another note, they are fine to use just like any other pair of tweezers out there. So I was happy with that.

The second product I got was this hair product, I don't really use end repairs products because I regularly trim my hair and the fact that I have never dyed or done anything with my hair. So my hair is virgin hair. I am going to test it out anyway, see how it goes. If it helps my split ends or not, but it does smell nice!


I am in love with this mascara! I love how it has the mirror on the other side so you can apply it anywhere! The brush itself I don't like but every mascara works fine in my point of view! But this one is definitely what I was happy with when I got this package !

The moisturiser smells REALLY GOOD!! But it's really small so I personally would have preferred it to be bigger, but it's meant to be for those really dry ares like your heels, elbows and knees! I am going to use it tonight so we just have to wait and see! But I love the smell, it smells really good !!

Finally the wipes, I haven't used them yet, but wipes are wipes. I don't really use products from face of Australia because I see them at Kmart, Big W and Target, and their products seem really 'cheap' so I'm worried that it will be really bad on my skin. But I am going to try it out to see.



So anyway, this is what I got in my lusthaveit bag this November for the first time!
I will probably do another review for Decembers bag, and tell you how the face wipes, moisturiser and hair products then!

Lots of love,

It's time to Gym it

Lovisa Cuff Necklace; Dotti Plain Black Tee; Dotti Skirt; R.J. Story fur Coat; River Island Watch; Therapy Boots; Bag purchased from Vietnam Markets

'I will join gym' the phase that I have been saying for the past 3 years but this time I will promise my readers along with myself I WILL join gym after I get back from Sydney. Cause it's gotten to the point that my weight gain has turned me into a fat, lazy, selfish, slob and I need to pull my act together. But I will blog about that another time, if you have been following me since the beginning there is a drastic change in the way I look from skinny hot bitch to insecure bitch. Also the outfit I took was just a quick throw over cause I always take my photos on a Sunday after work so I look heaps tired and run down!

With the photo book thing I blogged last time about it - NOTHING went to plan, my boss is ridiculous! My best friend and I have been working on this from scratch with no time line and all of the sudden I find out today that I have to do this BY Friday never mind the fact that I am leaving for Sydney on Thursday early morning. GEE BOSS. Thanks for the heads up, I really appreciate it! Anyway that's the end of my rant!

This post has been long overdue because of the fact I turned into a Vampire Diaries Fan. I have watched 2 seasons in 2 days. Okay fan girl moment, I LOVE DAMON!!! HE IS SOOO HOTTT !! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, WHY IS ELENA ALWAYS WITH HIM? WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS CHOOSE STEFAN OVER HIM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WHYYYYYYYY!! And that's the end of my fan girl moment hahaha

Anyway, hopefully I will be able to be blogging when I am in Sydney, I will mainly post photos about my trip and when I start gymming I will be posting my progressing photos! But I will still focus on outfit photos and general photos I take! Hopefully, I don't turn into a gym junkie!! But until then!

And finally figured out how to slow down my shutter speed, iso, etc. for light graffiti so hopefully there will be a day I can incorporate this into my outfit photos!

Lazy Day

Dotti Basic Tee ;  Karen Walker Bunny Ring ; ASOS Watch;Wrangler High Waisted Skinnies;  Therapy Boots 

After days of no sleep and 12 weeks worth of lectures crammed into a night;I finally finished my exams on Thursday. My body has completely shut down since and I've been working everyday since my exams have been over. Finally on holidays so now I can pretty much sit back and relax, my usual routine would be eating chocolate in front of my laptop and catching up on episodes of gossip girl, new girl, 2 broke girls, etc. But after my boyfriend and mother have been breathing down my neck about how much weight I have gained. I've decided to join gym to get healthy and tone up, my small problem is I have no idea how to gym and it's such a inconvenience because I am always busy with my two jobs, finding time to catch up with everyone since I haven't seen any of my friends since exams. I don't know how to fit gym into the picture, and I don't want to end up paying a whole bunch of money just to only go gym for a month and giving up. How do you even stay motivated?

On another note, my Ebay has been very low key but all my items are sold already! So I will be posting more up this week. Here is my EBAY! I haven't sold the leather mesh dress yet cause I can't part with it just yet even though I've only worn it three times. But I haven't had it in my closet for a long time, saying this I have so much to post on my ebay cause I need to clear out more space for my clothes. My new clothes have been sitting in shopping bags due to the lack of space I have!

Just to finish off this short post! This is what I wore today to work - my lazy wear!I also changed my style of editing photos, I'm not sure what kind of photos I want these days so as I post up outfit photos their just all going to be different until I find one that is perfect and keep it for a while! :)

On another note, I am the photographer for the Miss Princess Editorial that's going to be published and distributed around Brisbane! I am soooo excited because this is the first time my work is going to be published but soo tired at the same time since I have to look for guy&girl models who are willing to volunteer to build up their portfolio and plan it out properly and hope like hell everything works to schedule. I spend the whole day making the storyline and scouting locations! I've finalised locations and now I have to find models, props, etc. No idea how to do this!! I've been so excited and scared about this project and hopefully the end product will end up like what I have visioned!!

My best friend got the Skull ring and I got the Bunny ring! hahaha our favourite pieces of everyday wear cause its so simple!

rage quit

NANA Leather Mesh Dress; ASOS Watch ; Lipstik Boots ; Gift from Mum Ring

I hate it when I finally can sit down and get into the world of straight concentration it gets ruined!! Ended up rage quitting to blog. So anyway, this dress was the long awaited photo I took on my instagram where I said I would do an outfit post. I think I need to change the style of photos I take for my outfit post because I focus on the photo so much I forget that I'm meant to be showing my outfit!

On another note, I have everything prepared for my ebay!! I have the delivery satchels and camera ready and clothes set aside to sell! So excited to start selling my clothes, half of my items are brand new with tags - Here is a small sneak peak and quick description I am going to be selling.

Dotti Heels (worn once) for $25 with $10.30 shipping (within AUS)

My NANA Leather Mesh top Dress as seen in this outfit post for $30 plus $6.60 shipping (within Aus)

I have some brand new goodies like leather tights (size 6) never been worn, blue skinny jeans from Dotti, quite a few dresses ranging from brand new to hardly worn. Majority of my clothes is going to be sold at $35 MAX! I just need to clear it out of my wardrobe for my new clothes that I still have in the shopping bags, because they don't fit any more and I think I am going to be selling the clothes in the brand new shopping bags as well! Mainly because I realised I am never going to wear them.

I've just noticed but the way I blog uses a lot of exclamation marks, I sound really excited when I read over what I have written. If you know me in real life, the way I write is the exact same way I talk :) so if you guys see me on the streets don't be scared to come up and say hi! I would love to have a chat with you guys :)

Anyway will be blogging regularly after the 14th! maybe if I am not working 24/7 and I will be going to Sydney in 4 weeks time!! Excitedd!!

weird expressions

I guess this wasn't what I wanted to post up, I was hoping maybe my clothes but I never got to it. I haven't even sorted through my clothes but I have all the satchels to post now, which is a really good start!

This is a formal dress from my work place. It's pretty cheap actually, but if I had a chance to go back and change what I wore I would, my dress was similar to this but more bright and it was halter neck I think. I guess, if I had a chance to go back I would have chosen something cheaper and I would wear out again. I am also going to sell my formal dress for $100 !! plus $6.60 shipping, I will post photos up on my ebay and start a separate blog where I will be selling my clothes.

Anyway, I think I wanted to write today because I needed to vent. I really want to keep up my blogging because this is the only place I can escape to. I made this blog private to my friends mainly because I feel it's a bit weird that they are reading it? But does that make me a bad friend? I don't really know, how is it that I am comfortable writing this to my readers I have never met before but completely uncomfortable to people I do know. Lately, I feel in my life I am lacking something, I know motivation is one! The way I am going with my assignments for uni is not what I wanted, I wanted to be on top of it, start the week before and finish it that week instead of doing it the night before and ON the day it is due. So, I need to fix that up.


But have you guys ever, gotten in one of the moods where nothing is right and this isn't where you want to be? I look at where I am now, and who I have surrounded myself with and realise this isn't what where I want my life to be. What can I do to change it? How can I escape? The easier way out would be completely cutting it of from everyone I know. I guess, I don't really know.
I know, I want to move on and change but there are some things that mean a lot to me that I don't want to give up yet, hence I end up in a rut. This is the most personal post I have ever written and I don't really expect a reply. I think this is all I can say for now. Yes, it's another filler post but I really needed to write this post for myself haha.

procrastination at it's finest

busy with assessment!!! Will be back in the next few weeks :( actually that was a lie! I will TRY to get something up, but the thing that will most likely be up is me selling my clothes!! Come check it out! Prices will be ranging from $5-$60 MAX! Would give you guys all free shipping but right now can't afford it :( maybe after it picks off?

Man...my spending lately has by passed my pay by 4 times, I think it's time for me to go find another second job! Hopefully it turns out better than the last one hahaha. I kind of regret quitting in hospitality and heading into retail because there is so much responsibility but at the same time I feel like I am not actually working... (I know it makes no sense, but if you live in Brisbane and go pass Miss Princess - Shop 6 in Elizabeth Arcade you would know)
Anyway Instagram photos of everything lately!!

(Photo taken an hour ago - me at my finest trying to tackle assignmentSSSS (so screwed) and study)

Leather Mesh Dress worn to close friend's 19th! Will have an outfit post on it :)

faith and lola pop up sale!  loveee <3

When I went to Anchor with the fam bamz last year for Christmas!

Anyway that is it for now, to see more follow me on instagram @vacantdays and will be back soon *_*

Kony 2012

So on facebook this morning and this whole day so far, everyone kept sharing this video make kony famous. I had no idea what everyone was talking about, like wtf? who is this kony video? are we all just supporting this random guy on youtube who wants to become famous in america. It wasn't till my best friend, Cindy told me it was about this guy whom is the "Modern Day Hitler" made me aware. I didn't really watch the video because I was out, but I just googled him up and in summary, I read along the lines of. People run away from him in fear because he has pretty much kidnapped over 35 000 children, raped young girls, impregnates them, abuse them, he also, slits peoples throats, cuts their hands and legs, etc. to put fear on others. I had no idea how sad this was, until I actually read/watched it. So to do your part, I would love love love everyone to share this video anywhere! On facebook, your blog, tumblr. Just to raise awareness so the US and the whole world knows what is going on about this! Also, 2 very easy things is pledge!!! You pretty much just type in your email and postcode and it's done or like the facebook page!

LIKE INVISIBLE CHILDREN

PLEDGE INVISIBLE CHILDREN

On another note, to leave this photo to lighten the mood!

P.S. BROUGHT MYSELF A CAMERA TODAY :) his name is george and his my new lover!!! Also, outfit post next week and a random daily post is coming this week!!

amazingly hot day

I hate being lazy! I cannot tell you how much I hate being lazy but I always end up being lazy! It's so easy to get into a rut. I was planning on waking up early to take these outfit photos because of good lighting but I didn't get up till 10am, and heading over to my best friends house around 1:30pm to take photos! It was impossibly hard to take these photos because the sun was blazing, people kept giving me looks/staring. So, note to self in the future; Photos in the afternoon or morning.

On another note, uni has resumed! I missed my first lecture the other day because I had a 4 hour gap and I just couldn't be bothered to go. There goes my goal of attending every lecture this semester. But I am going to try very hard to attend every single lecture and tutorial.

Anyway, other than uni I don't have very much to say. Also I want to ask my readers what do you like me blogging about? Do you like outfit photos? What happens day to day? Just comment and tell me cause I would love to put more of an effort into this blog this year, unlike last year!

Also, notice how I have changed the name of my blog and header! I was going to make a collaboration blog with my best friend, but she ended up having no internet and actually, I don't know why...

Lovisa Necklace; Market HQ Bodysuit; supre flare skirt; asos loafers; ebay bag

I have so many things to say before I end this blog post! I also would like to ask my readers, Do you guys have any idea on how to hack a hotmail account? My best friend and I made an email together but we forgot the email but we do know the password, well I am 90% sure that is the right password! It would mean the world to me if anyone knew!! Please just leave a message if you do know how! I would forever be indebted to you!!

Also, I have followed the "instagram" trend and made an instagram account, so just follow me @vacantdays

Finally, leaving you guys with a gif my bestfriend (photographer - asian chic in the blonde/white/grey) and I! I will blog about her hair in the next post!!

weather is retarded

I'm actually going to start blogging regularly. I am not sure about when uni starts again though but I am at least going to try because I really do like doing this. I am currently saving up for a new camera because I dont like the megapixels on my camera anymore and the fact that the battery dies really fast. But I am terrible at saving, even though I am working 2 jobs now which is killing me. I should actually be sleeping right now because I am getting up at 4am to get ready for work, seriously it's all because I spend like a maniac I need two jobs to support how much I spend. I will post photos of where I work (my new job !) in my next post. I wouldn't say the place I work at is really "me" though, I do like some of the clothes they sell but it's kind of too princessy for my taste.

So anyway, here is an outfit post I love love the skirt but I am thinking of re-selling it. Not too sure yet because sometimes I love it but sometimes I don't.

necklace: lovisa; cuff bracelet: stolen of my best friend; dotti dress worn as a top; skirt: asos; thick heeled shoes: betts
