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
2. Gather all of your materials
OMG this is starting to sound like one of my Bio lab reports.
3. Put a plastic bag over your old clothes
Wear a clean and empty dust bin/rubbish bin/trash can bag
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.
Please, please comment and tell us what you think, and tell us whether you have done this and how yours turned out!

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)

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 paint12. Wait for the spray pain to dry (3-5 mins)
13. Start painting in parts of the galaxy on the shoes

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

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

Golden Globes 2012 - Best Dressed Poll
By Bia
Golden Globes 2012 were today. I only saw part of the E! coverage of it. And, I must say, I was pleasantly surprised at what the celebs were wearing. I've compiled a list of my top 10 faves. Now, I want all of our readers (if there are any) to please vote! We'll announce the winner in our next blog post. If there is anyone who you think should be on the list, please comment, and tell us why you think so, we'd love to hear what you have to say!
Ciao
