Summer Look Contest Entry

This is my contest entry for Sassy Jadore's Summer Look contest. In this contest she gives you the option of doing a make up look or a clothing look. I decided to go for the clothing look as I had an outfit in mind: my Bloch dress and my Aldo shoes, plus my Tom Ford sunnies. My inspiration was the shoe I have from Aldo.

I think the dress is perfect for summer as it's colours portray summer really well: orange, yellow and pink hues, with bold black. The dress itself reminds me of a monarch butterfly, agian something you see often in summer. The colour is very like it! The shoes suit the dress well as the colours are similar and the design is ideal for summer: a slip on heel. The sunglasses go really well with the whole outfit as it's a gold frame with brownish orange lenses. I think it's the ideal outfit for summer as it's cute, fun and a little bit sexy. It keeps you cool while you're looking hot!

Enjoy the photos...

Paris Impersonation Contest Entry

Well, I've just entered myself in Pop Champagne's Paris Impersonation Contest. It was such a fun theme and I loved watching Paris in The Simple Life so how could I not? It wasn't easy finding the right pic, I didn't want to use anything too trashy so I decided on one of her Guess ads. I think it has a touch of class to it.

It was soo hard taking the actual picture! I had to use the self timer, and I only had ten seconds to run to the bed and adjust myself before the camera went off. Plus, I had my son playing in the room and he'd just get up and walk right in front of the camera... just as it was going off! LOL.

I also took a shot of my face to show you the make up I had on, which was basically a lot of eyeliner and a neutral eye and glossy pink lips, just like Paris in the photo. I was lucky I just happened to have a red dress... I've never worn that dress out before so I don't know why I bought it. I guess I knew I'd need it one day!

Anyway, enjoy the photos. Oh, and isn't it sad Michael Jackson has passed away? I loved him as a kid, I always wanted to meet him... and now I'll never get to. RIP MJ.

Whit's Gold Digga Contest Entry

Here are my top 5 photos for Whitney's Gold Digga Contest. I loved the theme so I decided to enter. Finding the time to do my make up and take photos took ages as I never seem to have any "me" time. I decided on a low key, glam look. To me, a gold digga is a girl who wants a man with money... so she always tries to look classy to get that man. I also took it literally and used gold coloured eyeshadow. Actually I think it's more bronze but that's neither here nor there.

No amount of make up will cover up those damn pimples! You can see them in the photos, even though I was wearing concealer and foundation. Hmm. Time to switch to something more heavy duty, I think! In the last photo you gotta love my big old shnoz!! I hate my nose, it's one of my worst features. Anyway, enjoy the photos! There's more photos to come, as I have two more contests I'd like to enter, so stay tuned for those...

Hoodies!

I went out today to the Nike warehouse on Smith Street and bought two hoodies. I love hoodies, they're so comfy and cover your body up, which is good for when you're having a fat day. Lately I've been having lots of fat days, even though I'm on a "diet". So I got a white hooded jumper and a navy blue zip hoodie, it didn't cost too much and I absolutely LOVE it! I have a feeling they'll get more wear than my Burberry trench coat this winter, which I kinda feel guilty about as I was bugging the bf to get it for me for my birthday. Isn't it ironic that I'll be wearing a $50 hoodie more than I'll be wearing a $2000 jacket?

Remember those ugly red pimple spots I was talking about on my face? I bought some bio-oil for it, I hope it works! I have noticed my skin is clearing up but the spots are still there which I think looks gross. My period finished a while ago and my face is breaking out less, so I'm guessing the acne is definately due to hormones. I might also use the bio-oil for my stretchmarks from pregnancy, if I can remember to apply it twice daily!

As for my diet, well... It's not really going that great, I haven't been sticking to it. I've had dessert after most of my meals and I'm not eating any less. But I did hop on the scales today and I'm at 58kg (128lbs) so I've lost 2kgs... unless it's all just water. Which I suspect it is as I didn't drink much today! Hmm...

Anyway! Tomorrow I hope to play around with make up and take photos so I can enter some contests. I'm a stay at home mum so you'd think I have lots of time for stuff like that, but between feeding Dante and cleaning the house and keeping him entertained, it is just hard to find the time. I'm lucky if I get to pee alone! So hopefully I'll get some pics up tomorrow. If not, then you'll know I've been a busy mum!
