A quick outfit post :)

sorry for the awkward pictures!

wearing a white and nude striped tank with beige trouser pants rolled up.

Paired with nude heels and my favorite accessory of the moment, my elephant charm necklace!! :)

Not only does it look cute, but it is also meant to bring goodluck! yay, bonus!

unfortunately i was unable to find an already made necklace/bracelet, as i first wanted a bracelet similar to this one...

But i wanted it in gold with more of a skinny bracelet, than bangle. unfortunately i was unable to find anything that i really wanted so i settled for a make-do necklace :)

Yummmy treat!

2011-07-10T18:21:00.000-07:00

Can you believe i did not know what an ice cream soda/float/spider was till a couple years ago!

I remember people would say the name, but i was always like okayyyyy.

Regardless, it has now become one of my favorite summer drinks :)

Did you know The ice cream soda was invented by Robert M. Green in Philadelphia, 1874!?

"The traditional story is that when Mr. Green ran out of ice for the flavored sodas he was selling, he used vanilla ice cream from a neighboring vendor to keep his sodas cold. His own account, published in Soda Fountain magazine in 1910, states that while operating a soda fountain at the Franklin Institute's sesquicentennial celebration in Philadelphia in 1874, he wanted to create a new treat to attract customers away from another vendor who had a fancier, bigger soda fountain. After some experimenting, he decided to combine ice cream and soda water. During the celebration, he sold vanilla ice cream with soda water and a choice of 16 different flavored syrups. The new treat was a sensation, and soon other soda fountains began selling ice cream sodas."

So if you are like me & a late 'finder-outer-ra' here is how you make it :)

You will need Soda

and a scoop of ice cream!

Khaki Outfit

2011-06-17T22:11:00.000-07:00

An outfit Post, just for you :)

Nude/Cream Cardigan

Skinny Khaki Jeans

Basic White tee

I have been obsessed with Khaki jeans for...ever! especially when i saw a picture of Olivia Palermo in them :)

her style reminds me of Audrey Hepburn - Classic, easy & chic!

my next outfit will definitely be inspired by hers.

A Peek into my Boudoir

2011-06-16T06:50:00.000-07:00

yes, yes, i mean bedroom,

excuse my French :)

but i thought i would post up a photo of my bedroom as i am always blocking the view in my videos & i receive soooo many questions about it!

So i decorate with various things, i do not shop in a particular place, but if you are looking for a one stop bedroom shopping/decorating experience, check out ikea <3

That place never ceases to amaze me, with both the quality of products & the effect on my bank balance. eeeeep!

Regardless, you can find cute things anywhere! try department stores, thrift stores, your choosing! :)

I have gone for a random, modern, somewhat industrial approach I guess. Nothing of excessive vernacular forms, just simple

Bed - Ikea Malm

Bed Cover - Target

White Tub Chair - Ikea

Bed side table - Furniture already laying around the house :)

Audrey Painting - Gift from friend, though loads of people tell me they have a similar one, but a bit smaller? in ikea

Mirror - Bought years ago, & my friends tell me it is magic! ;) they say it is very slimming :) hahah

totally reminds me of "mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all"

Daskmask Curtains - Spotlight

assortment of pillows

turquoise glass bottle

I tend to go with ‘less is more’ when I decorate, though as you would have noticed, my collection of materialistic possessions grows by the day.

Though I try to keep it minimal, living by Holly GoLightly’s aphorism, ‘I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other’

So it may seem strange to not want to belong to one place, but I get really attached to material things, emotions, people…. You get the jist.

& I want to travel, right now I find it really difficult because I get home-sick very easily.

& im not saying that is a bad thing, but as I get older I need to learn how to move on & begin my own life….. Home is where my family and friends are, not the room I decorated, or painted, or hung paintings in.

Sooo this lead me to adapting her words of wisdom, of not being permanent.

You would have noticed my paintings aren’t hung, everything can be removed, everything can be replaced, so right now the space is mine, the emotions & the feelings that occur in that room are forever mine, but it can all change.

So that’s the background story to my room

Holly's Study Tips!

2011-06-14T00:28:00.000-07:00

I always get questions about my degree & the tips or tricks I have for studying! Having been through high school and now university I have created a routine on how I study, but recently when I purchased a Mac I found I needed to re learn all the basics of computing!

But I was lucky enough to be sponsored by Nuffnang and Microsoft, to try out the new office phase 2.

It is all the Microsoft applications that I know how to use but on Mac! Yay! I have always loved writing up notes & essay’s in Word, as it is so easy to use and edit, as well as reference & add details. The pack also includes Excel, Outlook & PowerPoint to write up all your presentations.

I am loving that I can use all the Microsoft softwares on my Mac. If you would like to try out the new Microsoft office for Mac, Nuffnang is giving away a couple copies(http://www.nuffnang.com.au/blog/2011/06/14/competition-better-your-blogging-thanks-to-microsoft/) & be sure to check out the spics & specs on what the phase two office Mac has to offer.
