Children of the Revolution

Hello

Today I decided to post a look :). It's called 'Children of the Revolution' and is named after the song by T-Rex (link below).
Summer has started, exams are over and Ren and I are on holiday now. We are both excited, because we have no school. We do, however have Summer homework :(.

I'm moving, so I've slowly started purging my closet of clothes and stuff. If there is enough interest, I could possibly do a give-away. But it's a maybe.

Travel wise, both Ren and I are staying in our city for most if not all of Summer. Some of my friends from other countries are coming, so I'll/we'll be hanging out with them and saying goodbye to people. What are your Summer plans?

Link to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgcxd9wtXUE

Now time for the look...
I go through lots of phases, and one of them was my Che phase. The tee is from that phase. The shorts I've had for a few months now (from Forever New), and they have featured in a few of my other looks. The shoes are just plain black sandals with studs on them. I got them so long ago and I've forgotten where they come from, and I've had the heels re-done so I can't check. If anyone knows, please tell me.


Lots of love,
 And have a good Summer
Bia xoxo

DIY Activites

Hellooo,

I love repurposing old things or customizing new stuff. I'm a horder. I'll admit it, so the way that I let myself keep things, is by repurposing them and using them for something else. A few weeks ago, I posted a list of things I would like to make on my Tumblr. It is a list of (mainly) DIY things and two cooking projects (hummus and cup cakes).

Watch this space for updates on what I do.

I also have some questions for you:
1. What projects should I start first?
2. Would you like a DIY post for every project or just some (its your chance to control what you read on this blog)?

Take Care Dah-lings,
Bia x

Candyfloss

By Bia

Hello (again),

Yesterday I spent the day at a food and music festival-thingy. It was a stunning day and the atmosphere was wonderful. Everyone was happy listening to music and eating delicious food. This is the outfit I wore. The smock is from chicwish. I love, love, love their clothing and I am hoping to get some more soon. The dress I bought in India at a store called Anokhi. When I bought the candyfloss, it was double its size and it was HUGE. My sister and I shared it and there was so much we shared it with all the people we were with.

Take care and have a good week,

This is very overdue...

Hiya guys,

Ren and I are listening to our friend Beka practice her part for our history project. I thought this look was posted on the blog, but it seems it wasn't. Told you I would post a new look. Well, actually, I've posted TWO!
I've also compiled a list of DIY projects I would like to do. That will also be up on this blog soon :D.

So this is the look, Ren and Beka and Brown-Tea (our other friend) came over to work on our project, and I drew out a hopscoth thingy and I was playing hopscotch in the street.

Polyvore

Hiii,

I've known about Polyvore for qutie a while, but I've never used it. Until now! Two of my previous posts of today have been posts I've made on Polyvore. One is about Gwen Stefani and the other is Marina Diamandis from Marina and the Diamonds.

I get Spring Break in a week, and my friend and I are planning to spend all that time finding nice locations and taking the pictures for LB. New looks will be up in a few weeks. I promise *scouts honor*

Now, *yawn*, I think I should go to bed. I'm feeling kinda poorly and I have to sing tomorrow :(.

Galaxy Shoes

Text by Bia
Photos by Ren


Hello,

A while ago, Ren and I made 'Galaxy Shoes'. Well, we didn't make them, but we painted them. I thought I'd put a brief yet slightly decent how to post.

Things you'll need:
Shoes
Paints (acryllic or fabric paints in metallic colours and red, purple, white, blue, and yellow)
Spray paint (black and blue and/or purple)
Sponges
Paint brushes
Tape
Plastic bags
Plastic gloves
A toothbrush
Extra canvas bags to practice on
Tissue paper
Scarf or surgical mask to cover mouth and nose

How to paint the shoes:

Before you start: Print out pictures of the galaxy print and practice on the extra canvas bags

1. Buy shoes.
We bought ours from Forever 21, but you can buy any pair of canvas shoes
Canvas shoes from Forever 21
2. Gather all of your materials
OMG this is starting to sound like one of my Bio lab reports.
The things we used
3. Put a plastic bag over your old clothes
Wear a clean and empty dust bin/rubbish bin/trash can bag
Me in my oh-so-stylish bin bag
4. Go to a well ventilated place or outside
5. Lay all of the materials out and pick out the shoes, spray paints, tissues, plastic bags, surgical mask/scarf and tape
6. Put the plastic bags down and cover the heels of the shoes in tape (if you don't want them painted)
The wind kept blowing everything away!
7. Stuff the shoes with the tissues so they don't cave in
8. Put on the scarf or surgical mask
9. Cover the shoes in black spray paint
10. Put irregular, random sploges of blue or purple with either the blue or purple spray paint  (or both!) on the shoes
11. Cover the purple or blue with a thin layer of black spray paint
12. Wait for the spray pain to dry (3-5 mins)
13. Start painting in parts of the galaxy on the shoes

14. Use a toothbrush dipped in silver or gold paint (your choice) and spray it on the shoes.
15. Use a toothpick to make bigger stars (if you want to)
16. We decided not to paint the heels, but if you want to, you can.
17. We also painted these elastic-y bits on the shoes. They are painted a bronze colour.
18. Let your shoes dry for a while.
19. TAAA-DAAA, now you have your own galaxy print shoes.
The finished product!

Please, please comment and tell us what you think, and tell us whether you have done this and how yours turned out!

Day on the Roof

Heyya

Yesterday was a very chilled day, and a chilled day deserves a chilled outfit. No, not sweats, but shorts and a baggy cardigan. I believe that when you wear something baggy, you have to have one structured or shapely piece. For example, with this baggy cardigan, I wore shorts and tights. The shorts and tights balance out the baggy-ness of the cardigan. It is the same when wearing fitted clothing, always try to balance it out, don't wear skinny jeans and a tight/fitted tee. Get a balance between the two.

Here are some pics of the day:



Cardigan - Billabong
Shorts - Forever New
Brogues - Topshop


Take care

Long Time No Post Eh?

Hello Lovelies,

From the bottom of our hearts, we apologize for not posting for so long. School has been hectic. We've had tests and projects up until the day before exams. Exams will be over tomorrow *sigh of relief*. I (Bia) promise to have a new LB pic up as well. I will be going on a school trip for a while, but Ren will still be here, and she'll be blogging with a vengence.
While you wait, why don't you check out my friend's band. They are called The Goldilox Zone. They have facebook, twitter and a blog :D

Toodles

OH!
We also have a twitter, follow us!

Hello and High Heels

Hello, I'm Bia. I'm 16 years old and I like fashion.
Now you all say 'Hi Bia'
Howzit? 
This is my first proper post and I've been wondering what I should write about. It has taken me ages to decide...so, here it goes!

High Heels
Love or Loath?
Personally, I love them. I can't wear very high ones (Ren can), but nevertheless, I still love them. I love the way the make you a bit taller, how they make you look slightly slimmer and that you can wear them with everything. They can dress up an outfit, which I think is great. I love how you can get them in so many different shapes, styles and colours. They just seem so versatile. Now, you can't wear them to do everything in them I mean like doing a hike could be a bit difficult, but you can do a lot in heels. 
When I was in the 4th grade, I had a teacher, who amazed/inspired me when she ran out the class, down the hall and down the stairs in a pair of stilettos. I still remember that day, because in my head I said 'one day I'll do that!'. I can't though. Can you?
My favorite types of heels are ones with a platform front and ones with interesting designs. What are yours?
Jimmy Choo heels

Take care,

Ciao
