Black Shatter

2011-02-09T00:55:00.001-08:00

Finally got my hands on O.P.I Black Shatter and I think I will go a little mad with it. It is amazing.
Here I am wearing it over a lilac colour. Next I want to try it over a brighter colour, like Kit Dive In.

I need an excuse to wear these shoes

2011-02-05T00:47:00.000-08:00

So being pretty tall, as I am, I don't get the opportunity to wear heels much. And I'm really looking for a time when I can wear these wedge booties that I bought not too long ago.

Boots - Tony Bianco

(Sorry for the poor quality of these photos)

Excited?

2010-11-28T00:58:00.001-08:00

HELL YES I'M EXCITED!
Not only because Sylvia and I are leaving for London tomorrow, but because I will soon have nails just like this:

(Nail polish is a bit of an obsession for me.)

2010-11-24T15:30:00.000-08:00

On Tuesday Zinta drove me down to the beach in her awesome vintage alfa GTV.
She put in around 5 hours driving in total!
we were only there for the day so that we could visit are friends who are on schoolies!
Here's a photo of us in the car on the day Zinta got her license

I think it was 32 degrees on Tues.
Perfect for the beach!

hello old friend

2010-11-20T02:54:00.000-08:00

I'm back! Goodbye exams, year 12 and high school...
HELLO HAPPINESS
I painted my nails for the first time in over a month (I stopped during exams).
I know the colour's a little unusual...
(my parents hate it and they say it makes me look like a witch)
...but it's growing on me
finally some warm weather and it really feels like the holidays.

Dorothy is a Tramp

2010-07-18T23:00:00.000-07:00

Yes, I know. I'm ultra slow at blog posts. Well, at least they are in chronological order. Anyway, when Sylvia and I were on holidays, we were lucky enough to go to the very last Dorthy ever at Tramp Bar in Melbourne. It was our first and last Dorothy, as we had never been before, but had wanted to go for several months. Luckily for us, the timing for this night was perfect as we were on holidays so were able to go out on a Thursday night and Sylvia had turned 18 by then.

We partied hard all night long, dancing away and spending what seemed like forever waiting in line at the bar, but it was well worth it.

Formal 2

2010-07-05T01:27:00.001-07:00

Well, this post is slightly delayed as this formal happened over a week ago, but here are some photos from the formal Sylvia, Angel and I went to with our friends from De La Salle College.

Zinta's Dress: Nylon Flocks
Zinta's Shoes: Peep Toe
Sylvia's Dress: Karla Spetic
Sylvia's Shoes: Diavolina

We had a great night; even though the limo bus we got for our formal was heaps better and so were the photographers and us girls had school the next day so couldn't attend any sort of after party, but it is always fun to get really dressed up!
xx Zinta

Formal

2010-06-25T21:50:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday was our year 12 formal. Here is a small selection of photos from the night.

Both dresses from Lipsy
Zinta's Shoes: Mollini
Sylvia's Shoes: Diavolina

It was a really fun night, especially the limo coach! Soon I will post some photos from the formal we went to at our friends school.

Twins

2010-06-11T22:34:00.000-07:00

Many people have said that the photo below looks a lot like me, and for ages Sylvia has been saying we have to recreate it using me. So, since I got my bang back, we decided it was time to take the photo.

Twins?

Thigh High

2010-06-04T04:49:00.000-07:00

Today my friend Wangli was wearing her thigh high socks and I must say, I was rather jealous.
This is an old photo of her wearing her socks, now you can see why I was so jealous.

If you can remember, a while ago I bought some (meant to be) thigh high socks, but because of my long legs, they did not quite make my thigh. Well tonight (inspired by Wangli) I decided that I would cut an old pair of wool tights that had a saggy bum to make thigh high socks of my very own that actually are thigh high! Here is the end result (although I still need to sew in some elastic to stop them falling down and rolling over like they are now):

Love Zinta xx

P.S. You should check out Wangli's blog http://tantaliseyourmind.blogspot.com/

Zinta on behalf of Sylvia

2010-03-21T23:37:00.001-07:00

Since Sylvia has taken a vow to stop posting this year, due to the stresses of school, I am posting on her behalf (and without her knowledge)
Sylvia and our friend Angel recently went to a couple of shows at the L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival, and here are some outfit shots of Sylvia from the two days (taken by Angel, who hasn't quite mastered the art of focusing, but we can forgive that)

Hope you enjoyed this post and keep your eyes peeled for some new posts soon. I feel guilty having neglected the blog for so long!
xx Zinta
(P.S. It's my 18th birthday this weekend, so expect some photos from my "Mario Party")

It's been far too long

2010-03-14T01:49:00.001-08:00

I'm sorry for this MASSIVE post delay, and the fact that this post is pretty shit, don't even have a full body shot but still, something to enjoy.

These photos are from two of my friends birthday dinner.

Hopefully I will take some more photos soon and do another post, although unfortunately Sylvia is focusing on her studies this year, so will not be doing any posts.

Love Zinta

Sans fringe?

2010-01-12T03:27:00.000-08:00

I have been thinking about growing out my fringe recently, mostly in part due to photos like these:

But also because it is so fucking hot here at the moment and I can't stand the hair on my face.

Then I see photos like these:

And I just want to cut my bang again!

2010-01-08T20:31:00.000-08:00

Today it's 30º

Which makes for good summer night weather.

Christmas and the sales

2010-01-05T01:19:00.000-08:00

So many new things to post about and so little time!
I'll start with the new mascara I got for christmas:

loooove the big fat brush

next is the boxing day sales!
Zinta and I got into the city at 3AM!! ..two hours before Myer's Bourke Street store opened it's doors to allll the boxing day shoppers.
Sadly we didn't win any prizes, but we did get free coffee and cookies while we waited,
and we even appeared on TV later that night as part of a boxing day sales news report!
This was my third year of doing the boxing day sales, I LOVE the madness and the crowds ahaha
Anyway here are two things I bought
The Ben Sherman tee was $35 (down from $60)
and the Indigo skirt was $80 (down from $150)

And here is the newest addition to my wardrobe...
I like telling myself it only cost $10
the truth is that it was on sale for $60 (instead of $100) and I had a $50 voucher ahaha
so it was a bargain!

Happy New Year!
xx Sylvia

eight dollar day

2009-12-22T02:03:00.000-08:00

spent most of the day in the city and bought nothing but food and an eight dollar jumper!
aren't you proud?

it's a second hand (but mint condition!) cotton and wool jumper which only cost me $8 at savers!
very happy with myself, even though I probably won't get the chance to wear it for quite some time, seeing as summer is only just getting started

I'm thinking I might possibly get away with wearing it inside out
Yay or nay?

FOUR DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS!
today I did the last of my Christmas shopping
I'm actually kinda sad it's over ahaha
anyways, I wore this teeshirt, which was a gift from a friend and a necklace I stole from mum ahaha

oh and my present has appeared underneath the tree!
I gave it a shake and I'm thinking either voucher or jewellery
either way I can't wait to loooook.
