Walking Giant

Currently a walking giant with my new shoes - platform sneakers; not the type of sneakers with a heel, but converse-like shoes with a platform sole.  Standing at 170cm with these on I feel super tall, hence the reason why mum called me a 豆芽菜 (soybean shoot) aka skinny stick...
Back to the topic, I was inspired by Juria a famous Harajuku girl who's famous for her lavender-coloured hair and use of tattoo tights in her stylish outfits, below is the picture of her with platform sneakers that caught my eye.

Another Harajuku girl ft. platform sneakers

I ordered my pair from Ebay for around $35, and they came in around two weeks from China.  The quality of these platform sneakers is quite good, from comfort to the materials used I'm very pleased, however I will have to somehow overcome the fact of walking in these sneakers which are slightly harder to walk in than normal shoes due to their height.  I give these a rating of 4/5, only if the sole had the density and rubbery texture like the original Converse chucks then I would've given it an extra mark, but I'm still very happy with these awesome shoes..now I think I have around 20 pairs of shoes, should stop buying shoes (but that's not possible haha)

actual product

Had quite a lot of fun walking around the house in these yesterday, can't wait to pull off a new look with these babies featuring my tattoo tights.  I think my fashion sense is becoming more mature now, so I should get rid of the florals in my wardrobe but but, they're so pretty on the other hand argh I hate dilemmas like this, 'to be or not to be'..
Only around 20 days of high school left until I graduate!  Just thinking about university sounds scary, but I've also heard that it's heaps better than school as there's more freedom, well I have to wait and see.

Recent gets + giveaway soon!!

How is everyone lately?  Just started term 3 on Monday and boy do I feel old in my year 12 hoodie.  Unlike some schools who got their hoodies/jumpers at the beginning of the year, we had to petition to get it on the last day of the second term ugh because the senior school office was going on about 'how we wouldn't contentrate in school' and other stupid excuses, but it was worth it because we won and now we're all in our warm comfy hoodies (´◡`)

Year 12 in 2012 :)

So here are a few pieces from my recent shopping trips at the end of my two week holiday

Jumper from Gap, shoulder bag from Portmans and quilt set from Ikea

Scored these new slipper flats from Wittners when they had a sales promotion of taking an extra 30%off the marked price, from the original $129.95 is scored these for less than half price!

 Also bought these three magazines on Monday after school because my teacher was away so I finished early, and had enough time to go to the city.  And came back with three magazines (Sweet Oct 2011, Popteen July and August 2012) and two nail polishes, the yellow one is from thefaceshop and the nice mint green which I had been searching for is from Skin Food.  Spent over $50 in just the 20 or so minutes I had in the city o.o

Oh and since I've had this blog for more that I year, I decided that I should do a little giveaway to thank you guys, my followers.  Here's a small preview:

Stay tuned for when the giveaway starts! Byee

Time to Halt

Sorry for the lack of updates, because I am back to my second term of school and already we're getting SACs and assignments, but this weekend I had absolutely no homework, which means time to blog!!!

Since my formal (similar to a prom) is coming up I needed pumps to go with my dress which I already have, I was tossing between white or beige shoes and decided to go with beige pumps since they're easier to mix and match with (and dirt or marks are less noticeable), so I bought these 'Halt' nude/beige pumps from Wittners, oh I love that store, I think it's my fourth or fifth pair from there in less than two years (´･౪･`)

These heels are have a 9cm heel and a platform of 2cm, with these heels on I'm around 173cm, wow I sound so tall haha.  Usually I wear size 38 from Wittners, but this pair I got these 'Halt' heels in size 37 because it's a bigger make according to the sales assistant.
*So make sure to try heels on before buying them online because they may be bigger on smaller depending on the style

And because I'm a member of the VIP soul club *sticks nose in the air*, normally I get 10% off full priced shoes, so these heels would've cost me $134.95 (originally $149.95) but with some 'rocktail' campaign I got an extra $20 off weew, so these were only $114.95 and full leather aswell (೨♛‿♛೨)

Can't wait 'til the formal which is in less than a month's time!!~

Nothing interesting these days, but it's going to be 'fun run' tomorrow which is when the whole school has to run 3km under the 25 minute limit, with my new Asics runners I bet I can make it within the limit but it's probably going to rain tomorrow...just hope it doesn't

'Til next time, byee~
