Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
I'm sure you have probably noticed that I haven't been writing a lot of posts this year. There are a lot of reasons why I don't write on here much more and I probably won't be putting up any new posts any time soon. I've decided to leave the blog up for anyone that might be interested in reading it. Who knows? Maybe I have actually written something useful...<br />
<br />
I stopped writing posts, because I have been busy with work, my social life and countless hobbies. I feel like I just don't have enough time for it and I don't read much anymore so there aren't really any book reviews for me to post up.<br />
<br />
I look back on some of my posts and think that I thought I was such an expert about some things. I think now that I've grown up a little bit, that I actually don't know much about a lot of things and who am I to be telling people what's what.<br />
<br />
I don't think a lot of people actually read my posts on here, but I know they enjoy the pictures I put on the facebook page, so I will definitely keep posting there.<br />
<br />
Until Next Time,<br />

Hi Everyone, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been really inspired by 1940s looks lately. I have a couple of dresses and a pair of high-waisted shorts in my own collection that fit the era pretty well. I also have a couple of books about 1940s style that I like to read and re-read every now and then (If you are interested I will list the books at the bottom of the post). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided to share some real pictures -though you can never really tell - of everyday women in the 1940s. I wanted to show the more casual side of the era and not just swim-suits, or nurses or actresses in formal attire. I love how simple the looks are and how big a part the hair and make-up plays in the overall style. I think there are some very cute feminine outfits from this era, but I also enjoy looking at pictures of women with their wide-leg pants, turbans and sunglasses. I hope you enjoy these pictures I found.</div>

<br />
Hello Everyone,<br />
I feel like so much has happened this year, especially in the last month or so. My sister got married, my town endured a Category 3 Cyclone and I met some new people. What 2017 has shown me so far is that life really is a roller coaster. I have had a lot of fun so far this year and I hope the fun can continue...<br />
<br />
My Sister's wedding happened the day before we got told to evacuate our house for the cyclone (our house is in the red zone for tidal surge). It had been raining earlier in the week, but luckily the wedding venue was just far enough out of town that it didn't get any rain and the weather on the day was perfect. I was the Maid of Honour and the hairdresser managed to pin my hair up even though it is still so short. It was a long day and it was heaps of fun to get up and dance at the reception.<br />
<br />
We actually stayed at my sister's place which is a bit further inland for the duration of the cyclone (and the crazy thunderstorm that followed) due to being told to evacuate. Luckily when we got home to assess the damage we learnt that there wasn't much of a surge due to the direction of the wind. Our house was fine, but my dad had damage to his shed and a lot of trees were down in our street. Some older buildings and shopfronts in town had a bit of damage and a lot of farm sheds and crops were wrecked.<br />
<br />
We spent a few days without power and only had low pressure water in our taps, but the conditions were still livable and I was so grateful at how lucky we were. One of the first things I did when we regained power was plug in my electric guitar and have a play. While I did slum it for a couple of days without any fancy hair or make-up (or being able to iron my clothes!), I think the whole event has shown me how important it is to take advantage of every chance I get to dress up and go out and have fun.<br />
<br />
I have finally started going out a bit more again. It is so great to catch up with some people that I haven't seen in a long time and to make new friends. While a lot of the people I have met seem to be passing through town, I think I will stay in contact with them a while and I will definitely remember the short time I spent with them.<br />
<br />

BEAUTY:<br />
<br />
- I bought some <b>Max Factor </b>lipsticks on CatchOfTheDay.com and I really like them. They seem to stay really well without drying out your lips. I have two of the Marilyn Monroe ones ('Cabernet' and 'Sunset Red') and another in 'Scarlet Ghost'<br />
<br />
- <b>Colourpop </b>Ultra Satin Lip in 'Cozy' is a nice orangey red that doesn't look too bright.<br />
<br />
- <b>Avon</b> Big and Daring Glimmersticks eye liner in 'Deep Plum' blends nicely with black pencil for a subtle fade.<br />
<br />
- <b>Loreal </b>True Match Blush in 'Rosewood' is a nice everyday blush colour.<br />

HAIR:<br />
- I have been experimenting with my hair a bit and I am very inspired by the 1940s. Here is a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/quirkygirllikesvintage/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1259991317369697">1940s hair Facebook Album</a> with some nice styles that I hope to achieve when my hair gets longer.<br />
<br />
- I have been using the <b>Schwarzkopf</b> Extra Care Dry Oil Mist as an alternative to Shine spray. It makes my hair look very shiny without losing the curl, but I have to watch it doesn't get on the floor or on my skin because it is very greasy.<br />
<br />
- I have been loving the <b>Lady Jayne</b> contoured hair pins which have a matte finish to them. These are the best thing ever for holding tricky curls in place. I really like their fringe pins for holding my sponge rollers in place (to avoid getting the horrid sponge roller dent.<br />
<br />
- I made my own setting lotion using Linseed Grain (flax seed) and water. I use 1 tablespoon of seed per cup of water and boil it on the stove until the water starts to colour and get that gelatinous look. I strain the seeds out and store it in the fridge for up to two weeks. You only need the tiniest bit to set your hair and it doesn't irritate my scalp like some other hair products do.<br />

STYLE:<br />
- I am a little bit obsessed with the 1940s and this <a href="https://au.pinterest.com/natalievintage/1940s/">Pinterest Board</a> proves it.<br />
<br />
- I also really like some of the old ballet/tap class photos (like the above one of Audrey Hepburn) because of the shorter fashions worn in that era.<br />
<br />
- I am loving a pearl bracelet I bought from Ozsale that has bronze coloured freshwater pearls on it. It seems to go with everything.<br />
<br />
- The weather is starting to cool down so I am loving wearing cardigans again. I tie them at the waist or belt them instead of buttoning them all the way down.<br />

GUITAR:<br />
<br />
My new guitar arrived after new years and I have been spending a lot of time playing it. I wouldn't say I'm even mediocre, but I enjoy strumming along so thats something. I have bought a couple of pedals that I am really impressed with. I love my <b>Earthquaker Devices </b>The Dunes overdrive, <b>TC Electronic </b>Alter Ego V2 Delay Pedal and <b>Boss </b>T2 Tremolo the most. I have learnt to play a couple of riffs, but I am still more of a rhythm player at this point. I also love my <b>Ernie Ball</b> guitar strap which is a Navy Colour. They make guitar straps in so many different colours and they are good quality.<br />

Hello Everyone,<br />
I finally decided to post another playlist post for you all. This is my second Valentines Day playlist. However, this time I decided to choose songs that were not as charming and romantic. Since I am not really into Valentines Day this year, I decided to go for songs that show love in a different light. Some of the songs are a bit down on love while others are just a little bit uncertain.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a great day, whether you are romantic or not.<br />
<br />

So there you have it. I wouldn't say I hate love or valentines day, I just think it's all a bit irrelevant to me right now. I'm enjoying focusing on other aspects of my life and I want it to be that way. If you do have a significant other, then I hope you both enjoy the day.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy the songs either way.<br />

<br />
I've been inspired by a lot of glittery looks that were seen popping up on Youtube and Instagram around New Years. I originally wanted to post this before New Years Eve, but I got a bit lazy and I also was wary of posting too many New Years things when I know that some people are not really into it. I think that New Years is one of the most magical occasions there is to celebrate, but why should you have to wait for an occasion like New Years to go all out with the glitter and hairspray? Life is short and if you want to really dress up, then you should; regardless of the occasion.<br />
<br />
I decided to choose pictures with lots of glitter, sheer fabrics, head pieces and flowers. The great thing about these fairy-tale fashions is that you could try to replicate a look for a costume party or you could take inspiration from different aspects of the look to add some magic to your Friday night outfit.

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
I know for some people it is probably a little late for a resolutions post. Because I am on holidays from work, I don't feel like the year has properly started, so I think it is the perfect time. People should make new goals whenever it suits them and if you are going to make new goals for a new year, it is probably smart to wait a bit, so you can let the procrastination start before you go making any crazy plans to "better yourself".<br />
<br />
Some of these are goals that I want to achieve and some of these things are important things that I learned that I want to remember. I had some of these on my list last year. I am repeating them because I want to continue with those goals, because I did make a little progress with them and I want to continue doing that. Who says you only have 12 months to achieve these things?<br />
<br />
I feel like I learnt a lot about life and I changed a lot last year. I am looking forward to this year, for many reasons. My sister is getting married this year, some friends might be travelling back my way this year and there are a few other smaller events I hope to go to. I think there might be a few possibilities for things to improve in 2017 so I look forward to those!<br />
<br />
Here are my resolutions:<br />

<br />
1. LEARNING THE GUITAR:<br />
I already know a couple of basic chords and strumming patterns. For years, I have just looked up songs with easy open chords and played while I sang along. I call this DIY karaoke. It is awesome because you can slow the fast songs and do your own thing. I decided to invest in a more expensive guitar at the end of last year (an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Pro in Trans Blue to be exact) with the condition that I would try and improve my playing and actually learn some riffs.<br />
<br />
I have already learnt to use a Capo and learned a couple of really slow riffs. I have a list of songs I want to learn, I also want to learn some harder chords, get better at quick chord changes, transpose some piano songs for guitar and get to know the notes on the fret-board a little better. I would also like to continue purchasing cool guitar pedals and learn how to get the best sounds out of them. I have been nerding out over famous guitarists and what techniques/gear they use to get their sound, So I can't wait to learn more and start experimenting.<br />

<br />
2. GO TO THE BEACH MORE OFTEN:<br />
I love going for walks along the beach and even though I live in a good spot, where there are quite a few nice beaches at a very short driving distance, I still don't tend to go very often. It is such a shame that I don't go more often as I find that walking along the beach is very relaxing and is pretty good for the skin on your feet.<br />

<br />
3. STOP WORRYING:<br />
I don't know if this is just me, but I seem to have this problem where I think about all the things that can go wrong and I actually try to prevent some of them happening and end up creating a problem that wasn't even there. I don't know why I worry. I wish I didn't, because I think it is stupid. If I worry about something it usually doesn't happen. If something bad does happen, then it is usually not what I thought it would be anyway. Sometimes I will guess that something is going to happen, And it does happen, but those are usually things that don't affect me, therefore I didn't come to those conclusions because of some random fear.<br />
<br />
So in 2017 I will be trying not to worry. What happens will happen. There is no point stressing about it. Stressing is bad for your health and uses up time that could be spent focusing on something more interesting...<br />

4. REMEMBER THAT I AM MORE CONFIDENT THAN I THINK I AM:<br />
This is kind of a weird one. I have always been one of those people that thought I wasn't very confident. I get told a lot that I need to be more confident and I decided against doing future pin-up competitions because I'm not really confident enough to get up in front of people and try to fake the charisma that I just don't have. At the very beginning of this year (about an hour in) I was talking to someone and they reminded me that I am a lot more confident than I originally thought. While I may not be very outgoing, I do wear vintage dresses, apply bright lip colours, get up in front of people at karaoke and sometimes go out alone. A lot of people wouldn't do those things.<br />
<br />
I also realized that being outgoing and being confident are not necessarily the same things. I'm not an outgoing person by nature and I don't know if it is really possible to change that about myself. However, I will do something that a lot of other people wouldn't do, because it is uncool and they would be embarrassed. Some of those people are the chattiest, most outgoing people I know. Just something to think about...<br />

5. DO FUN THINGS WITH NICE PEOPLE:<br />
Last year I decided to be more social and make an effort to go to things. I ended up meeting some really nice people and I had a lot of fun hanging out with them. I want to continue having fun in 2017 and find some people that enjoy some the same kind of "fun" as me. My kind of fun is hanging out at the quieter pubs (versus the one with the blaring music) or hanging out at the beach or just chilling in general.<br />

6. ENJOY MORE OLD MOVIES:<br />
I really enjoy old movies, but sometimes I will choose to watch something that I have already seen instead of one of the unopened classics taking up residence in the TV cupboard. Most of the old movies I watched in 2016 were pretty enjoyable and in 2017 I hope the same is true.<br />

<br />
7. CONTINUE TO BE 100% ME:<br />
In the past there have been many times that I have toned down the way that I dress for other peoples benefit. It wasn't because they wanted me to tone it down, but it was because I thought that is what they want. It wasn't really until last year that I took the plunge and started buying more vintage style reproduction dresses and deciding to actually wear them. I noticed that people actually like me more when I wear what I want to wear.<br />
<br />
The same goes for a lot of things. There have been times where I would be careful what I said, so that I didn't offend anyone, or I wouldn't talk about the things that I actually wanted to talk about because I would scare other people away with my weird interests. Once again, I think I realized that people actually like you to have your own opinion. I think the moral of the story here is that people don't want you to be something you are not. People want you to be the person that you want to be and they can tell when you are being authentic or not.<br />

8. GROW MY HAIR<br />
So I started this last year. I had a really short pixie cut and it has taken me a very long time to get it to what is almost a bob. Even at this short length I have found some interesting new ways to style my hair. I have been setting my hair as often as possible and learning the best way to brush out the curls and pin them into place. I hope to resist the urge to cut it all of again, so that I can continue trying out new styles.<br />

9. BE MORE ADVENTUROUS WITH STYLE:<br />
So last year I wanted to "Dress my Age" more often and I feel like I did that. I also wore a lot of things that I had never worn before. This year I wanted to continue with both of those things, but I also wanted to try going for things that I usually wouldn't go for, such as a different colour or a different cut.<br />

10. BE MORE ASSERTIVE:<br />
In 2017 I am giving up on subtlety and people pleasing. Firstly, subtlety does not work. Some people don't know what you are telling them when you are speaking right to their face, so why would a subtle hint be any better? Also, trying to be careful how you say something, just means that you aren't saying it clearly. If the person is pushy they will just think that you are indecisive and argue with you about it. Finally, I want to give up on procrastinating my true feelings. Sometimes I will agree to something because that is the easy thing to do, so that I can find away to get out of it later. Which just means that I will stress out about it until I find a solution. Stress that would have been avoided if I had just been honest from the beginning. <br />

11. GO TO THE HORSE RACES:<br />
I haven't been to the horse races in a couple of years. It hasn't stopped me from accumulating pretty dresses and matching hair pieces. I really wanted to go last year. I had a list of events written down that I was going to make myself go to and I managed most of them except the races. At the start of the season I couldn't find someone who wanted to go with me and at the end of the season I had to work. I honestly don't know that I will enjoy it that much, but it is one of the few things you can do for fun in this town and I'm going to give it a go.<br />

12. BE LESS SERIOUS:<br />
I am a very serious person and I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but sometimes I would like to be a little less serious. Have a bit of fun and just care a whole lot less about what anyone else thinks.<br />

13. BE LESS CRITICAL OF MY CREATIVE EFFORTS:<br />
Sometimes I start doing something creative and I give up on it pretty early because I am too critical of it. When I think about the creative people that I admire I forget that they probably had days when they felt the same. If they criticized themselves as much as I criticize myself then a lot of the artworks, fashion designs, songs, books and movies that I like probably would not exist. This year, I would like to post-pone all self-doubt until after I have created my ideas.<br />

14. STOP CHASING AFTER OTHER PEOPLE:<br />
I get that sometimes I have to make the effort to organize things with people if I want to be social, however, If I find myself in a situation where I am the only one making the effort then I'm out, because one-sided friendships are not real friendships. It is really that simple. If you have to constantly chase up people, then those are not your people.<br />

15. TRY TO PERSIST:<br />
I don't want to give up on things too easy, just because it is hard or because it seems like it isn't going my way. I want to give things a chance before I give up completely. Some of the best moments of 2016 wouldn't have happened if I hadn't persisted.<br />

16. LEARN TO MANAGE TIME AND MONEY:<br />
So this one covers a lot of different aspects of my life. I have always been good with money in the sense that I am rarely ever broke and I still manage to buy a lot of things that I want, but I would like to improve on what I buy to make sure that I am making purchases with research behind them and not just buying the cheapest thing.<br />
<br />
As far as time goes: I want to procrastinate less, waste less time on the Internet/social media, waste less time putting up with people that I don't want to put up with and less time waiting around for other people to do the things that they said they were going to do. I would also like to spend more time sleeping and less time running late for things.<br />

<br />
17. ACCEPTING THINGS:<br />
I have decided to look at the past from a new perspective. There were things that happened in 2015 and 2016 that I wasn't happy about. I have realized that these things happened for a reason and changed me a lot as a person. So I accept them. I want to put more energy into the present and the future. I also want to remember what happened and who was responsible, so that I can avoid making the same mistakes again in the future.<br />
<br />

So of course I still want to read more books, write blog posts, and do some fancy nail designs, but those 17 resolutions listed above are the main goals for the year. What are your goals for 2017? Have you started on any of your goals already?<br />

<br />
Hello Everyone,<br />
<br />
For once I am doing what I said I was going to do; I am writing a post before the new year. I've been seeing a lot of cool outfit ideas and funny memes relating to New Years Eve and it has inspired me to write something a little different this year. I've decided to postpone my goals/resolutions post till the beginning of January and write this post instead.<br />
<br />
Like everyone else out there, I am looking forward to the new year. I want to party. I want to continue to make achievements. I want to have fun and I want to let go of all the bad stuff. I love the magic of Christmas and New Year. However, some of the posts I've been seeing on social media have really got me thinking. Maybe we put a little bit too much emphasis on the New Year. Below I've expanded on ten thoughts of mine on the subject.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
1. WAS 2016 REALLY THAT BAD?<br />
I know some people had a terrible time, but everyone seems to have jumped on the "2016 was the worst year" band wagon. It seems wrong to write off the whole year. There were some things that I didn't love about 2016, but I wouldn't say it was the worst year of my life. The things that happened (both good and bad) have changed me as a person. I would like to think that I've grown as a person and these are changes that I wouldn't want to take away. So nope, I don't want to forget that 2016 happened.<br />
<br />
2. ACCEPT THE PAST, FOCUS ON THE FUTURE<br />
To me the New Year is a chance to reflect. You get to look back at everything that has happened in the past 12 months. It gives me a chance to think about how far I have come and if there are any changes I would like to make. Am I happy with the path that I am on? That kind of thing. It is a chance to remember the amazing things that happened and to move on from the bad.<br />
<br />
3. A NEW YEAR IS NOT A CLEAN SLATE<br />
However, a New Year isn't magic. You don't get to forget "the worst year". You can't erase the bad stuff that happened. It doesn't work like that. The things that you don't like about your life right now, are probably still going to be there next year.<br />
<br />
4. ROMANTICIZING 2017<br />
At the end of 2014 I said 2015 will be my year. It wasn't. Then everyone was saying 2016 would be great... If you have high expectations, then things will always work out worse than what you hoped. I am looking forward to 2017, but I'm not expecting everything to go perfect. If I look back on my life in terms of years, then I would say good and bad things happened in each one. <br />
<br />

<br />
5. PEOPLE AND THEIR RESOLUTIONS<br />
There are a lot of people saying they won't do resolutions this year because they can't stick to them. If you really want to achieve something you won't get there by giving up before you start. If you are happy with your life the way it is, or if the things that you would like to change are really out of your control then I totally get not wanting to make resolutions. It is ultimately your choice. I also don't see why it has got to be New Years. For me, it's a great time to set goals, because I am on holidays and I have got a lot of time to think about it. If you decide to make a change later in the year there is no reason why you can't set new goals then...<br />
<br />
6. MAKING UNREALISTIC GOALS<br />
One of the reasons people don't reach their goals is because they either don't make realistic goals or they don't have a plan. For a couple of years I have had some similar goals, but I have never met them because I never really defined the goal for myself. This year I feel like I progressed with those goals a bit because I broke them down into smaller chunks. For example: If you want to get "Fit". How "Fit" do you want to get? Do you want to train to run marathons, or do you just want to do a bit more regular exercise? What kind of exercise do you want to do? etc.<br />
<br />
7. HAVING A RESPONSIBLE NEW YEARS EVE<br />
I am looking forward to making plans for New Years Eve. This is something that is pretty new to me. I have that little responsible voice in the back of my head saying that I wouldn't like to start the New Year off on a bad note because I was irresponsible. So if you are going out please follow the advice of caring friends and/or relatives. Don't get too messed up. Don't leave your drink unattended. Watch out for your mates. Don't let one crazy night define your life.<br />
<br />
8. YOU DON'T NEED TO KISS SOME RANDOM AT MIDNIGHT<br />
If you want to, then go ahead. However, you don't have to. It is not necessary. There is no troll at the gates of 2017 that will stop you from entering because you didn't lock lips with a stranger on the last night of 2016.<br />
<br />
9. NEW YEARS ANXIETY<br />
I know that going to a party or thinking about making changes to your life can trigger anxious feelings. It can be stressful to go to a busy party. It can be claustrophobic. It can be scary to set goals that are difficult to achieve. Please be supportive of people in your life that are feeling this way. Don't push them to do things. If you are reading this and you are feeling this way, remember that you are in control. You can back out of plans if you feel you can't go. You can leave a rowdy party if it gets too much. You can make smaller goals if you need to. You don't have to make any goals if you don't want to. Take a deep breath and think about it. You've got time.<br />
<br />
10. MAYBE SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCES US TOO MUCH<br />
The New Year is just another example of how social media can influence our views on something. At the end of the day, the way that I feel should be influenced by my experiences, not some random on the Internet who made a meme. It is just another new year. Just a bit of fun.<br />
<br />

<br />
Can you believe that it is 18 days into summer already and I have only just started to write my 'Spring Beauty Favourites' post just now? Christmas isn't too far away and I have most of the gifts lined up, but haven't wrapped any of them yet. I know I'm not the only one who puts off wrapping presents till the last minute... Nothing too exciting has happened lately. I'm still waiting for my new guitar too arrive. I haven't gone out as much as I would have liked to (except for karaoke). I finally figured out a bit of a setting pattern for my hair (which is forever stuck in the "growing out stage"). And, I am finally trying a new alcoholic drink that isn't wine...<br />
<br />
I've actually got quite a few new favourites this time around, which is a bit of a change.<br />

<br />
BEAUTY:<br />
- After my local supermarket stopped selling my favourite facewash, my mum managed to find it on 'Catch of the Day' website. <b>Garnier Pure Deep Clean Cream wash</b> is one of those face washes that I didn't really take a whole lot of notice of, until I ran out and had to use something else. My skin was starting to get really bad again and I am so glad this face wash is back in my life.<br />
<br />
-I tried the <b>Palmolive Oil Infusions Body Lotion </b>(the Avocado oil and jasmine one) and I really like it. It smells really good, is really nourishing and doesn't cause any bad reactions with my skin. It would be awesome if they made a body wash in this line too...<br />
<br />
- I started using my <b>Marc Jacobs Daisy Perfume</b> (from the miniature set) again and I can't get enough of it.<br />
<br />
- I love my new <b>Besame Lipsticks</b> in 'Blood Red' and 'Victory Red'. 'Victory Red' really stains your lips, so I highly recommend it if you are looking for a red that will last.<br />
<br />
- I got a bunch of new things from <b>Colourpop</b> again. At the moment I really like 2 of the highlighters ('Flexitarian' and 'Might Be'), the brow pomade in 'Red Head' and the Ultra Satin Lip in 'Calypso'.<br />
<br />
-I bought a <b>Morphe Liner Brush</b> on Ozsale and its the best liner brush I've tried so far. I highly recommend it.<br />
<br />
HAIR:<br />
- My favourite leave in conditioner is the <b>Toni & Guy Prep Leave in Conditioner</b>. It's not too greasy and it actually works. I own a few different leave in products and I always come back to this one.<br />
<br />
-I always put <b>Tresemme Wave Creating Sea Foam</b> in my hair before curling it (wet set curls or with using hot tools). It doesn't irritate my scalp like some styling products do and it doesn't make my hair too wild.<br />
<br />
- I usually use the pink 'Volume' one of these, but I've decided I really like the purple 'Satin' version of the <b>Loreal Elnett Hairspray</b>. Mostly because you can brush it out.<br />
<br />
-I really like my <b>Conair Sponge Rollers, Diane Pin Curl Clips </b>and my <b>Breville Curling Iron</b> which have all been getting a work out now that my hair is getting a little longer. My hair naturally has a bit of a wave to it, but in my current hair style it tends to stick out a bit and look a bit fluffy so I like to curl my hair downwards and style it a bit like Scarlett Johanson in <a href="https://au.pinterest.com/pin/188306828144888917/">This Picture</a>. My hair isn't as long as hers and it doesn't look quite the same.<br />

<br />
The Weather is warming up quite quickly here and it seems like we are going straight into the summer weather without having much of a "Spring". I really prefer the warmer weather and am enjoying getting to wear some sundresses and shorter skirts already. I think summer is my favourite season. I feel like I can get away with being a little bit more disheveled in the summer and the warmer weather makes me think of holiday fun.<br />
<br />
Here is some Spring/Summer Style Inspiration:<br />

I love the prints on summer clothes from the 40s and 50s. I love how simple it is to throw on a sundress and a bit of lippy and be ready for just about any occasion. I could go on forever...</div>

Hi Everyone, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well winter is over already. I can't believe how quickly it went. Winter didn't get very cold at all and I managed to get through it without buying any new knitwear or jeans. I feel like this was the most eventful part of 2016 yet. It rained a little bit (which is not the usual weather for this season) and I went out a fair few times. I also turned 23, which is something that wouldn't be included in this post if I had of written it on time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a pretty good birthday and I celebrated a few other peoples birthdays too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel like I've changed a bit this year and my attitude towards going out has changed (the kind of time you have really depends on where you are and what kind of people you are with). I've had a lot of fun nights and I've made some new friends that I otherwise might not have met. I went to Karaoke at one of the local pubs whenever it was on and it is the most fun I've ever had.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also decided to spend a little bit more time on some of my hobbies such as guitar. I ordered a new guitar and promised myself I would make more of an effort to learn guitar if I spent more money on it. My guitar hasn't arrived yet, but all the other bits and pieces (pedals, amp, case etc) are here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you have all enjoyed your winter (or summer if you are from the Northern Hemisphere) and that there is something in this list of favourites that is helpful or entertaining to you in any way. I have decided to include some favourite links to cool videos etc as well. Please note, because this post is late, some of the favourites are very recent early spring discoveries rather than favourites.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- I bought two new lipsticks this winter and I have been wearing them a lot. <b>Revlon Superloustrous in 'Ravish Me Red' </b>is an orangey red, and <b>Loreal Color Riche in 'Carmin St Germain'</b> is a pinky red. They are both very creamy and perfect for this sort of weather.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- I really like the <b>Australis Eyeshadow Primer</b> it isn't completely crease proof, but I think it does an alright job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- I am in love with the <b>NYX Pin-up Tease Mascara</b>. At first I thought the name was a bit gimmicky, but it really is the nicest mascara I have ever tried. And it is water proof too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- I recently got a bottle of the <b>Taylor Swift 'Incredible Things' Perfume</b> and I have been wearing it every day.</div>

- Since I am trying to grow my hair, I have started wearing hair flowers more often. I managed to get some nice ones on sale from ASOS.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- I have really gotten into wearing short shirt-dresses (button up dresses with collars). I really like the way they look with a cardigan and ballet flats. I think they are fun and comfortable, but they are also respectable enough to wear to work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I didn't manage to buy any new pairs of jeans this winter, so I spent most of the colder days (luckily it doesn't get too cold here) with stockings or footless tights on under my dress/skirt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I have been getting a lot of wear out of a black round neck cardigan I bought from Target. I love the 1960s look you get from buttoning the first button on a round neck cardigan.</div>

- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2mfpdbdV3U">Premier Guitar Rig Rundown with Jamie Hince from The Kills</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Kills is one of my favourite bands, so I was pretty stoked to find this video of Jamie Hince talking about his guitar collection. </div>

- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHLbaOLWjpc">'Blue Monday' New Order cover by Orkestra Obsolete</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some musicians cover 'Blue Monday' using musical instruments that would have been available in the 1930s, plus a few "alternative" musical instruments (such as wine glasses or playing a saw) I think it is the most inventive cover I have ever seen.</div>

- <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAneUTr8mog">Marilyn Monroe Iconic Make-up Look with Lisa Eldridge</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think this video was intended for people who want to dress up as Marilyn for a costume party, however I think some aspects of this make-up look could be used everyday if you wanted. I have adopted the under-eye line that she does to fake a "shadow" from the eyelashes.</div>

It says "Lyric Video" but this is actually like a second music video. I think the concept for this clip is awesome.</div>

I'm looking forward to the warmer spring weather and getting to wear some of my patterned skirts again. I'm also looking forward to getting my new guitar (hopefully it is suitable for what I want) and some other online purchases. My travelling friends might be coming back this way in a month or so and it should be good to catch up with them. </div>

<br />
After having a short pixie cut for so long, I have decided it is time for a change. No I'm not giving in to all those people that say they liked my hair when it was long. I'm just wanting to grow it a tiny bit longer into a short Marilyn style. I think I would like to experiment with my hair a bit more and try out different ways of styling it.<br />
<br />
While I was looking up pictures of different hair cuts on the internet, I came across some really cool and unique looks from a few different eras. I thought I would share them on here as it has been a little while since I did a picture post. I included some longer hair pics as well. I would also like to do a shout out to a new favourite Youtuber <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsSJq7C0On5VWzM5JMVUnkw">Dizzymakeupgirl</a> who has some great tutorials on styling short hair.<br />

There are so many different hair cuts and hair styles for vintage style enthusiasts. Don't be fooled into thinking you can't have a vintage hair style because you don't have long hair, or because you don't know how to do some of the trickier styles like victory rolls. </div>

I can't believe it is June already! We didn't really have much of an Autumn in this town. The skies started to get prettier in the afternoons than usual and the sun took longer to come out in the morning, but other than that, it has been pretty summery through most of the season. I would say that the season has been very up and down for me personally. I had some pretty low moments, but I also had a couple of really good moments. I feel like I don't want to jinx anything, but maybe things are getting a lot better.<br />
<br />
I had a really awesome time at our local Rock n' roll dance (Sorry there won't be an outfit post this year, but I might do a 50s playlist in honor of the event instead), I became an Aunty (which was really exciting), And, I made a new friend (which is a big deal for me). I hope the weather wherever you are has been kind to you. Here are my seasonal favourites for Autumn:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
BEAUTY:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I like both the lip colours from the Colourpop Alchemy range by Jaime King. 'Polite Society' is an awesome pink colour that is not too bright and not too pale. I adore 'JuJu Rouge' which is quite similar to the 90s Grunge collection lippiestix in 'Dazed', but a little brighter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I love using the Colourpop Lip pencil in 'Aquarius' as an alternative to nude lip liner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I tried out some new brow products and I really like them. I've been using Colourpop Brow Colour in 'Black n' Brown' or Ardell's Brow Pomade in the same shade. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I tried out the Nivea Mens Sensitive After Shave Balm as a make-up primer (the one that NikkieTutorials on Youtube raves about) and it is actually pretty decent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I have been loving Loreal Elnett hair spray (the volume one) for fixing my hair into place. I'm trying to grow it a little bit ,so its in a weird phase that requires a few miniature bobby pins and strong hair spray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
STYLE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I have been loving my Cotton On Shoes. If you are in Australia and you are looking for some affordable and vintage appropriate flats, Cotton On has an awesome range.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I recently bought a pair of Metal Sunglasses (Kind of like Aviators, but with the horn rim on the top) and I'm obsessed with them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I feel like I've been taking more risks with my wardrobe, by buying things that are a little more fitted and wearing things I have never worn before. </div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I don't have an Instagram for my blog, I do have a private personal Instagram account where I follow heaps of cool vintage enthusiast ladies, make-up artists, art artists, quote sharers and people I know in real life. I recently saw a really cool <a href="http://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/05/18/17-year-old-girl-amazingly-transforms-classic-glamorous-women-yesteryear/">article</a> about an instagram account doing the rounds on facebook that inspired me to share some of my favourite accounts with you guys. If you are anything like me, you probably only find new accounts to follow through what your friends like, blogs/pages you follow on other social media and what instagram recommends... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think instagram is a great place to be inspired, waste time and share images. I have so many favourites, but I thought I would limit it to five. That way, I can write more posts in this series and share some more of my favourite accounts as time goes by. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am going to embed posts here, so I apologize in advance if it goes a little funky on any devices you might be using to read this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here they are :-) </div>

I decided not to write my own captions, because I feel like these pictures speak for themselves.<br />
<br />
I think it's cool to follow other vintage enthusiast accounts because I like to see how different ladies put their own spin on the retro style. It's also cool to see how different people make the style work for them in their climate/location, career/lifestyle and with different colouring/body-shapes. It's a great place to get outfit ideas and to find out about repro brands and online stores.</div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have decided I needed something a little bit more positive on here to balance out the last blog post. I'm still feeling very much the same, but I am trying to focus on "the good stuff". My favourite kinds of moments, my favourite kinds of people and things that I find beautiful. These are some of the things that make me a little bit more enthusiastic about life. There are so many more things that could be added to this list, but for me at the moment these are the main ones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I love it when people start out all dressed up, but because they are having so much fun, they get a little disheveled. I think people look more beautiful at the end of the night when a couple of strands of hair have come loose from their up-do and their make-up gets a little shiny. I was thinking this the other night when I was watching Jimmy Fallon dancing to Styx. He was shaking his head and his styled hair was getting a little messed up. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I like those moments that remind you just how big and expansive the universe is. As a small town girl I often forget that the world is a much bigger place than I think it is. When I am reminded of this fact, my problems don't seem so big anymore. Also, the opinions of small-town people aren't a big deal in the grand scheme of things. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>As a person who often feels misunderstood, moments of understanding are golden. Even if it is over trivial stuff, I love the feeling that someone else just gets it. I love this aspect of music too. Certain lyrics depict the way I feel better than I could articulate it myself.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The best people are the people you can ponder the universe with. I love theories and quotes and metaphors. I like having in-depth discussions and I enjoy talking to people who can show me how to see things from their perspective (without being condescending about it of course).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>One of the best feelings is when something inspires you to do better in life. It could be a touching movie that made me want to do a good deed. It could be a new CD I got that inspired me to express myself artistically. Or, it could be a person I know that inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Small adventures are my favourite kind of adventures. I don't really get that wanderlust thing, but I like the kinds of adventures that you can have pretty much any day of the week. I like going for a walk or a drive. I live in a beautiful place and I try to appreciate it as much as I can.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I like to make plans on the condition that the plan actually goes ahead. I love it when I can get excited about an event. I love having something to look forward. I try not to let my expectations get too crazy though because I have been let down plenty of times in the past. Plans make me feel hopeful and give me something good to think about.</li>
</ul>

<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Those rare moments where you forget to think or care are so good. I usually feel this way when I'm mucking around, singing or dancing. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>It is a great feeling when all of your hard work pays off and you can say that you have achieved something. I love it when I finish an artwork, that I am at least 90% happy with. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I love the feeling of absolute comfort. Isn't it great when you can slip into your pajamas, sit down for a good movie and enjoy a nice glass of wine? I do like going out, but sometimes there is nothing better than relaxing at home. I also love comfortable clothes that are suited to just about anything. A casual day dress for example. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Call me vain, but I love the feeling you get when your hair looks how you want it to look. I recently changed hair dressers and I am really happy with that decision. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I love it when someone can restore my faith in the idea that there is still good in the world. I've been pretty down on the idea of humanity and where we are all headed for a while now. I haven't exactly had the best luck with anything people related either. So when someone can surprise me by doing something positive it really uplifts my mood. </li>

<li>If it weren't for comedy I would probably feel a lot worse. I love to laugh. I think a lot of people would be better off if they watched some comedy every once in a while. </li>

So there you have it.<br />

I'm trying not to let everything get to me. I'm trying to replace all of the negatives with positive things...<br />

What things would be on your "Good Stuff" list?<br />

<br />
Where do I start?<br />
<br />
I guess you could say I'm feeling stressed. This is not a new thing. It comes in waves. Something makes me really anxious and I find a way to deal with it. I think I can manage this. I keep going along with my head above water until something new stresses me out and I cannot deal anymore. The cycle repeats.<br />
<br />
I'm sure that there are people out there with a lot worse problems than me. For this reason I feel like my feelings are not justified. And to be honest, some of these things I stress over are not even my problems to worry about, but I am an overly empathetic person and just because these are not my problems, doesn't mean that they don't affect me.<br />
<br />
I think that I shouldn't stress. I try to relax. I came up with all these new things to help me relax. I used to go walking every day by myself, I'd go for a relaxing drive, I tried facing some of my fears (to be honest, they didn't really feel like fears anymore, I think I just stopped caring), I tried to find a way to laugh more, I started drinking more often... Yes these things do help slightly, but they don't make me feel any less alone and they certainly don't fix any of the problems that I have.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to go into depth about things here. This is not a diary. I don't want people to feel sorry for me or to try and fix anything. Most of these things are out of my control. I feel like it doesn't matter what I do, I will never be able to get people see me for who I am or see anything from my perspective. I feel "stuck" at this point.<br />
<br />
What I would like, is for people to stop being so cruel to each other, for people to stop expecting people to change completely, for people to understand that some people don't share all of their problems, And for people to start appreciating others before their life is over. I know none of these things are going to happen, though I feel like the songs in this playlist have really helped me to put up with some of these dramas. They are not cheery songs, but the kind of songs that really make sense when things aren't going great.<br />
<br />
I decided to post this because I thought maybe these songs could help someone else feel like they are not alone.<br />

To me these songs are great, because I feel like someone has perfectly articulated some of my own thoughts and feelings. Even if originally the songs might not be relating to the kinds of situations I'm experiencing, I feel like the artists who wrote them really understand the way that I feel. I hope my next playlist post can be a little more positive.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I also thought I would like to make a special thank you to any of the lovely people in my life who are reading this; My parents, my far away friends and anyone who's ever actually treated me like I mattered (those who have invited me to things etc). I really appreciate you guys and I think I'd be a lot worse off by now if I didn't have you.</div>

May tomorrow be a brighter day.</div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been thinking about this movie quite a bit lately. 'Amelie' is a French movie (I don't speak French, but I can read subtitles) that was released in 2001. It stars Audrey Tautou (the beautiful lady who is known for playing Gabrielle Coco Chanel in the movie 'Coco Avant Chanel') and is directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. 'Amelie' is an interesting movie that never fails to amuse me or inspire me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know that this movie is definitely not unheard of and that a lot of people have seen it. I just think that it is such a great movie that more people should watch it. Unfortunately if you don't speak French, you will have to "read" the movie through subtitles, but I found after a while that I got so used to reading them that it didn't feel like I was reading. I thought one of the advantages of it being a French movie were the added beauty of the way the language translates to English. I have noticed with the few french movies that I have seen, that they have some unique ways of phrasing things, which can sometimes add to the drama or the humor in a scene.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Audrey Tautou plays the main character Amelie who is a bit of a dreamer. She is the kind of person that I feel like I can relate to. She a bit of a loner, she has an overactive imagination (hence being referred to as a "dreamer"), she cares about others and she sees the good/bad in people. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to these traits and I think this is the perfect movie to watch if you are feeling like a bit of an outcast. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the movie Amelie finds something in her apartment that leads her to change her own life. The movie really enforces the idea of karma and that everything is connected. Even though Amelie goes about doing good deeds in a secretive manner, her generous nature does not go unnoticed by her wise old neighbor who encourages her to live her life to the fullest. In the film Amelie meets many characters living with regrets which positions the audience to embrace this idea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you are an arty type, I think you will enjoy this film because of the way that it is made. The movie has its own colour scheme going on and it has some very quirky exaggerated scenes that I think would appeal to artists and writers alike. It definitely is the kind of movie that can inspire creativity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I must admit there were some parts of the movie that I found a little too crude. Well, not exactly crude, but definitely a bit "in-your-face". So don't go putting this one on when there are young kids around! I think it was supposed to add to the humor and go with the style of the film, but I actually didn't enjoy those bits. I think there are a lot of funny moments in the film. While Amelie is a bit of a dreamer, you can see that all of the characters are unusual in their own way, And, most of them are too caught up in their own lives to see the bigger picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'Amelie' isn't just a movie that will make you laugh, but it is the kind of film that will encourage you to think a little deeply about life. If you haven't already seen 'Amelie' I highly recommend it. I think it is the perfect movie for someone who identifies themselves as a bit of dreamer. Or, for someone who is not feeling the greatest I think this movie would be a perfect pick-me-up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
So it is technically the second month of Autumn right now, but as you already may know, a small computer break-down prevented me from writing this post sooner. I have my work holidays over most of the Summer. I spent most of the holidays at home in the air-conditioning or out walking at the park. I watched a lot of movies and I read a couple of books. I also mucked about with some new beauty purchases.<br />
<br />

BEAUTY FAVOURITES:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I have really enjoyed wearing Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in the shades 'Tulle', 'Avenue' and 'Trap'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I wore Colourpop Lippie Stix in 'Silk' and 'Nevermind' quite a bit also.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I tried out the Colourpop Gel Creme Liners and really liked 'No Shame' and the pencil in 'Cry Baby'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I fell in love with the Maybelline Hypersharp Wing Eyeliner pen and have actually started using it more often than I use the Master Precise Eyeliner I usually rave about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-I switched to the Rimmel Wonder'full Mascara (Water Proof Version) which I don't like as much as their other one, but it doesn't smudge as easily in the heat.</div>

-I started using the Designer Brands Finishing Illuminator which is okay. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

HAIR FAVOURITES:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello There,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It has been quite a while since I posted on here and now that I finally have a computer again, I thought I could give you a small update before things get back to normal on the Quirky Vintage Blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So at the start of the year I was just being my typical lazy self. I hadn't updated for probably a month or so because I was so caught up in all my little hobbies and obsessions. When I went to move my laptop one night, the back of the screen busted open and it has been in the computer shop until yesterday when I finally got the call to go and collect it. The part that they needed to fix it had been on back order for quite some time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To be honest with you all- I'm actually kind of glad my computer broke down. I didn't feel required to write anything for once, so I didn't feel guilty about not writing. I had a legitimate excuse not to write. My fingers actually itched for the keys a couple of times and I'm glad to say I actually have some new ideas for my blog. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also don't know if I would have actually had much time to write anything, had my computer not been broken down, because I was involved in something political for a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would have loved to get stuck into some blog posts that I've been wanting to write, but it felt wrong to just start posting without giving an update first. That, and the fact that I'm too tired to write anything worthwhile tonight. For the past four nights I have been having strange dreams and waking up feeling really tired. They weren't really nightmares, but they definitely weren't "happy" dreams either...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, what am I going to write now that I'm back? I was thinking a Beauty Favourites post for Summer is way overdue. I'd also like to catch up on some book reviews and beauty reviews. I've got some ideas for some Playlist Posts and for a new segment about some weird social observations that I have. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I look forward to writing these posts and catching up on some of my favourite blogs. I hope you all had a lovely Easter last weekend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I saw this tag on <a href="http://www.chronicallyvintage.com/2016/01/four-things.html#comment-form">Chronically Vintage</a> and decided I would give it a try. I don't usually do blog tags, but I haven't written a lot of blog posts so far this year and I thought it would be fun to do something different. The aim of the tag is to write down four things for each question, though there are some questions where I don't have four answers, so I will do the best I can.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
FOUR PLACES I'VE LIVED:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have only lived in two different towns throughout my whole life, but if you want to get technical about it I have lived in four different houses during that time. I'm not going to tell you the names of the towns for privacy reasons, I'm just going to say that I lived in a small town in Central Queensland for a very short amount of time as an infant. My parents and I then moved to another small town in North Queensland where we have stayed ever since. I was actually born in the town where I currently live and so were many generations of my family. I think I would like to live here for the rest of my life and if I ever moved it would be to another small town nearby. For those who don't know, Queensland is a state in Australia.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
FOUR JOBS I HAVE HAD:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Office Girl in a Fruit Shop:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used to work in a small office in a Fruit Shop next to the highway. The shop was a mix between a grocery store, a takeaway store, a wholesaler for local farmers and a supplier to local restaurants. My job involved taking lots of different kinds of phone orders and entering them into the computer, as well as doing some typical business stuff (bank reconciliations etc).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Sales Assistant at a Department Store:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used to work at the only department store in town. It's quite small compared to what a lot of other towns have. I used to do a bit of everything there. Mostly serving customers and tidying the clothes racks. Even though I'm not much of a people person, I used to like that I had to deal with people everyday, because it made me better at talking to people.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Office Girl for a Farm:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is my current job and it was also my first full-time job. I really enjoy this job because I am always learning new things about an important industry and there are so many different aspects of my position. I answer the phone, enter spreadsheets, file things and handle the social media for the business. This is the first job I had since I got my license, so I get to run a few errands and things too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Trainee Sales Person at a Jewellery Shop:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the only other job I have had and I didn't have it for long so I am not sure if it even counts. I started a traineeship in the beginning of grade 11 in High school and it lasted about two months. The communication between the local High school and the business (the school organised the traineeship) was not too great and the business owner didn't realise what was involved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
FOUR FOODS I DON'T EAT:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Most Fruit and Vegetables (Especially Green Ones) :</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know they are good for you and all, but I really don't like them. As I am getting older I am slowly trying more kinds of vegetables, but even then I only like them when they are cooked a certain way...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Sauce:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't like sauce on my food, with the exception of chocolate sauce on icecream and tomato paste that goes into pasta or onto a pizza.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Trifle:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like custard, Jelly and Cake, but I don't like it together. I don't know why, but I don't really like a lot of foods where things are put together. I like them separate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Gourmet Sausages:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I find a lot of gourmet sausages to be too spicy for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
FOUR FOODS I LOVE TO EAT: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Bacon:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Doesn't really need an explanation. If I could I would eat this for every meal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Caramel Tarts:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just as long as the caramel is made with condensed milk (not sugar) and the cream on top is Mock Cream and not thickened cream. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Hot Potato Chips:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A local take-away place makes the best Hot Chips ever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Peanut Butter:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not one of those people that can just eat it out of the jar, but I do love peanut butter on toast. I also really like these things you can make called "spiders" where you mix peanut butter with melted cooking chocolate and mix it with fried egg noodles. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

FOUR MOVIES I HAVE WATCHED MORE THAN ONCE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(Are you kidding me I can think of at least twenty!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>'Guys and Dolls'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This movie has a little bit of everything, Including musical numbers that will get stuck in your head for days after watching...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>'Sabrina' (The Audrey Hepburn Version)</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My favourite Audrey Hepburn movie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>'Just Go With It'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This movie never fails to make me laugh. That scene with the sheep gets me every time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>'Drive Me Crazy'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You know that teen movie with Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier with Britney Spears on the soundtrack... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
FOUR TV SHOWS I WATCH:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(Again more than four, so I had to narrow it down)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>'Charmed'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have done several blog posts about my thoughts on this series and I have rewatched some of the episodes again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>'Gilmore Girls'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did review/recommend this series on the blog as well, so I am guessing this is no surprise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>'So You Think You Can Dance' (America)</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love to dance (though I am no pro) and I used to take dance lessons for many years, so I enjoy watching this show. Unfortunately because I live in Aus, the show gets put on TV after people in the US have already seen it. The last season I went to watch was on Friday nights and because I was attempting to be social I ended up forgetting to tape it, so I have like half a season on my PVR</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>'30 Rock'</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm a bit late to the 30 Rock bandwagon. I only just finished watching season one for the first time the other day and then rewatched all the episodes because I am waiting for the other seasons to come in the mail. </div>

FOUR CELEBRITY CRUSHES:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(I wish it said fictional)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Ian Somerhalder:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unfortunately he is taken. He plays Damon Salvatore on Vampire Diaries. I'm a bit behind on the show, so no spoilers please.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Cary Grant:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have seen four Cary Grant movies so far and enjoyed them all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Zac Efron: </u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was not a big 'High School Musical' fan, but I like some of the movies he has been in since.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Joseph Gordon Levitt:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really liked him in '500 Days of Summer' and 'Inception'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

FOUR PET PEEVES:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Getting My Hopes Up To High:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes I think I expect too much. I try not to get my hopes up about things, but it's a bad habit that keeps resurfacing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>People Who Don't Accept You For Who You Are:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know I am not perfect and I probably need to make a few changes in my life every now and then, but I don't think that should include changing who I am. I have met too many people in life who can't accept that I am weird and that I don't want to conform to their standards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Eating In Front of Other People:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not a fan of having other people watch me eat. It's just one of those things. I prefer to socialise over drinks or coffee or something. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>People Who Think They Are Superior:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If a person is not my boss, not a mentor of some kind or not my parent, than I don't think they have any business telling me how to live my life. I get really frustrated with some people who like to think they are superior to me for whatever reason. I have a lot of respect for the kind of person that has more knowledge or experience than me and still treats me with respect.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
FOUR THINGS I WISH I COULD DO:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Be Confident:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I doubt myself a lot. Doubting myself usually ends badly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Ditch Fear:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is one of my New Years Resolution to be less fearful. I think ridiculous fears took up too much of my time in 2015.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Be Social:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wish I could be more social. I don't know why, but I just find it so hard to initiate anything with other people. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I don't want to bother people. When I finally do get the opportunity to hang out with other people I don't say a real lot and it takes me a while to "Open Up" to them, so they usually assume I'm stuck-up or something. I usually don't bother, but sometimes when it's Saturday night and I remember that I am only 22 years old I wish that I was out and about somewhere with nice people...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Meet My Internet Friends:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've never flown on a plane and I don't have a passport, so at the moment it's out of the question, but someday I'd like to go meet some of the lovely people I have met on the internet.</div>

FOUR SUBJECTS I STUDIED IN SCHOOL:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Visual Art:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Creative Art:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was the "fun" art class.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>English:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The OP English class. I liked English class, but my grades were pretty mediocre. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Accounting:</u></b></div>

I usually post a 'Lady is a Vamp' picture post around Halloween, so I guess I'm a little early this year... Just kidding! The reason I decided to post another one of these picture posts is because I've been thinking about writing a post about dressing for an occasion when you aren't sure what the dress code is. The most useful tip I was going to include in the post was to wear black. I know, I know, not very original. And, I started thinking about all the different ways you can wear black, because it is so versatile. I ended up on pinterest saving a lot of pictures of women in black lacy gowns and thought that I couldn't wait till halloween to share them.<br />
<br />
I have to admit, I've also become a little obsessed with Dita Von Teese recently and I'm very excited about her latest book, which I have ordered online. I really like her take on the vintage look and she also wears a lot of black. I have been taught by several people that black is the most practical choice because it goes with everything, it doesn't stain (but it does show animal fur), it is the most flattering and it looks classic. I like the way black looks against my pale skin and the tops in my wardrobe that get the most wear are black.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy this picture post of lovely ladies from the past and present. Some of these photos are black/white so I am assuming that the actress is wearing Black, however I couldn't say for sure. Almost all of these pictures are of ladies wearing head-to-toe black which probably isn't that helpful in terms of inspiring future styling choices, but is definitely glamorous. Regardless of the time of year, it is always fun to add a little bit of Morticia/Dita to your wardrobe.<br />

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
It's that time of year again. 2015 is nearly over and now I'm about to make a bunch of promises to myself for 2016, that I possibly won't follow through with. 2015 wasn't the best year for me, but it could have been a lot worse, so I guess I'm grateful for that atleast. I decided not to post a year in review, because I didn't achieve a whole lot worth mentioning and I don't feel like I read enough to pick out my favourite reads for the year. According to all of that starsign stuff 2016 is supposed to be my year, not that I'm completely sure I believe in starsigns...<br />
<br />
I did really enjoy my Christmas at home with family and I'm looking forward to purchasing a few bits and pieces online as I see sales popping up. So far I don't have any plans for New Year's Eve, though I do hope to figure something out before then. I have never really done anything previously for New Year's except sit on the couch in my pajamas and even if I do plan something, I usually end up sick and can't go. Here's to hoping this year will be different, but I guess it's not the end of the world if I stay up late watching the fireworks on the T.V.<br />
<br />
Without further ado (and in no particular order) here are my resolutions for 2016. You will notice I didn't list a reading goal here. I do hope to read, however, I think setting a goal to read a certain amount doesn't really work for me. If I feel like reading I will read. If the books are good; the books are good...<br />

1. BE SPONTANEOUS:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am generally not one of those people who will "Go with the Flow". I like to plan things in advance. I like to know what I am doing so I can dress appropriately. I don't want to dress up at night on the odd chance that something might happen, but I am also not one of those people that can get ready in a short time-frame. If I am somewhere with people and they invite me to go somewhere shortly after I usually tend to say "No" just because I was not prepared to be asked somewhere and I feel like I have to stick to the plan in my head... I think there were a few social opportunities in 2015 that I let slide by and I do regret that. So in 2016 I am going to try to be more spontaneous, even if it isn't in my nature. </div>

2. BE LESS AFRAID:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am an anxious person and a lot of things scare me. If I were to list my fears this post would go on forever. So I won't. I'm just going to say that in 2015 I did conquer a few teeny tiny smallish fears and it felt really good. I think I would like to conquer a few more in 2016. I would also like to be less afraid of people because I think that particular fear affects the way I live my life a little too much. It is really weird, because I don't care what people think of me or say about me, but I'm honestly petrified of how they'll treat me. I know that people are just human and I'm just human, but I'm also a weird human in comparison to the others and I usually can't figure out what to do in a social situation until at least 24 hours after the moment...<br />

3. DON'T HOLD BACK:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am a people-pleaser. While I don't really care what people think or say about me, I don't like to cause conflict. I also cannot lie to people. So I usually find that if I disagree with someones point of view on something I can tend to bite my tongue. If I am dressing up for an occasion I will "tone it down" for the sake of being "appropriate". I do refrain from sharing a lot of things about myself with others simply because it is easy or because I don't have the energy to deal with their reactions. In 2016 I want to try not to hold back as much.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
4. GET OFF SOCIAL MEDIA:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am not saying cancel my accounts or anything, because social media is honestly one of the most useful things, however I do think I spend too much time on there and I would like to get away from using it as much as I do. I think it is amazing what I have managed to achieve in the weekends that I left my phone in my purse, in another room. In 2016 I think I would like to spend less time looking at my news feed and more time reading or drawing.</div>

5. STOP EXPLAINING MYSELF TO PEOPLE:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been doing this for most of the post already. I do it all the time. "I I I..." I am sure that people grow tired of me talking about myself and think I'm selfish or something. I probably am. When I do something weird and I get a remark or a look, Or if someone makes an observation about me, I feel like I have to explain myself. Why am I the way I am? For how long have I done things this way? etc. etc. I think in the future I'd like to just be weird and not explain myself. Why can't I just say "That's me" or "Because I can" and that be the end of the story. </div>

6. TRY AND DO SOMETHING CREATIVE EVERYDAY:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I didn't do as much art as I would have liked to in 2015 and I think that is a real shame. I don't really have any good excuses. I stressed a bit about stuff, I lost motivation and some inspiration. My painting night was taken over by different social activities throughout the year... I think I would like to do something small nearly every day to stay motivated. I would like to do just a quick sketch or jot down some ideas each day in 2016.</div>

7. LEARN SOME NEW DANCE COMBINATIONS:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I tried attending dance class again in 2015 and it didn't work out. So I've been dancing at home. I've been improvising a bit and I choreographed a little bit, but I mostly keep practicing the same old tap combinations I was taught. In 2016 I would like to keep going with the dancing and learn some new combos from Youtube. I think I'd like to master some of the Time Step Tuesday combos which would be a bit of a challenge.</div>

8. WEAR THINGS THAT I HARDLY EVER WEAR:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have been doing this a little bit already at the end of 2015. I pretty much just want to go through my wardrobe and make an effort to wear things I haven't worn, or that I haven't touched in months. It feels like such a waste to buy something and not wear it. I'd like to wear more of my abandoned accessories too. Things like brooches, which end up sitting in a drawer being appreciated by nobody. Those poor sad little brooches.<br />

9. DRESS MY AGE:<br />
I am a modest dresser. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I'm not a fan of some of the too-revealing fashions that pop up in some of the chain stores. However, sometimes I think I can be a little too critical of clothes when I'm shopping or getting dressed and I will not wear something because I think it is too short, when by modern standards it is still actually quite long. I have realised that I'm as young as I'm ever going to be and I should take more advantage of that when dressing up.<br />

10. SMILE MORE:<br />
I've got that "Resting Bitch Face" thing down to a fine art. We all forget what a difference a smile can make. In 2016 I want to be more positive, happier, And to smile more.<br />

11. DON'T WAIT AROUND FOR OTHERS:<br />
I spent way too much time in 2015 waiting for other people. Between cancelled plans and phone calls that didn't happen, I spent way too much time being let down by people and making excuses for them. I don't want to be that girl in 2016.<br />

12. LISTEN TO GOOD MUSIC:<br />
I love music and I pride myself on being a music person, but there is still a lot of music out there that I haven't heard. In 2016 I want to discover more good music. I feel like I've been listening to the same tunes for a while now and I think it's time to add something new into the mix.<br />

13. TAKE MORE PHOTOS:<br />
I have a lot of photos on my phone. Photos of the beach, of beauty things for blog posts, of my art, And a few selfies. I don't really ever take photos to remember events by. I don't go to a lot of events, but when I do, I put my phone away. I think in the future when I look back on my life, I would like to have some actual photos to look back at. So in 2016 I'm going to try to take more sentimental type photographs.<br />

14. DRESS SIMPLY:<br />
Some of my favourite outfits of 2015 have been pretty basic ones, with minimal accessories. Still old-fashioned and still probably a bit outlandish, but just more of an obvious choice. I want to spend less time figuring out what to wear in 2016, but still look like I made an effort.<br />

15. STOP OVER THINKING EVERYTHING:<br />
Have you ever made a small mistake or social faux pas and thought about it like 5 years after it happened? I have. If I do anything the slightest bit awkward or stupid I will still be thinking about it weeks or months later. If I make a bad decision, nobody is more disappointed in me, than I am. I'm a perfectionist and that applies to my life as well as my art. In 2016 I want to try to learn to move on from my mistakes.<br />

16. STAY INSPIRED:<br />
One of the problems I had with keeping up with my goals in 2015, was a lack of inspiration/motivation. Now that I've got an Instagram account and I've started following a lot of other make-up artists and art artists, I am finding inspiration a little easier to come by. I want to make an effort to stay inspired in 2016 so I can keep going with the things I love and make some achievements.<br />

Hi Everyone,<br />
If you have been following my blog for a while you might remember a post called <a href="http://quirkygirllikesvintage.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/in-summer-time.html">'In The Summertime'</a> where I shared a list of things I was looking forward to over the summer holidays. I thought I might write something similar again. I have been neglecting my blog a bit and I thought this might be a way to ease into writing more frequently. For those who don't already know it is Summer in Australia at the moment and I am definitely prefer this kind of climate as I can be a bit of a "cold frog" in the cooler months.<br />
<br />
Here are some things that I am planning on doing or have already been enjoying so far this summer:<br />

I have been collecting a lot of quotes and sayings on Pinterest lately. I love how someone can say something so wise and thought provoking in such a beautiful, yet concise manner. I could write a lengthy essay about some of these quotes and what they mean to me. I am also amazed at how timeless some quotes are.</div>

I recently went on a trip to a nearby city and purchased an illustrated version of 'The Great Gatsby', a book about art deco illustrations and an Art Deco colouring book. I love the shapes and colours of Art from the 1910s through to the 1930s. While my own drawing/painting style is not this cool, I do find that It is heavily inspired by art deco artists. </div>

I've been hiring movies again. This is something that I haven't really done for a while as I usually just buy them. So far I have really enjoyed watching 'The Waitress', 'DUFF' (Book Review/Book Movie Comparison promised), 'The Longest Ride', 'Jenny's Wedding', 'Aloha' and 'Silver Linings Playbook' were all really enjoyable. When the weather is hot and you don't have a lot of energy, there isn't really much else to do.</div>

With short hair, you're really supposed to get it cut every 5-6 weeks, but due to bad scheduling my last hair cut lasted a lot longer than that and resulted in me cutting little chunks out of the back and pin curling the front and sides. I'm not quite at that stage yet, but with Xmas and New Years coming up (and my hairdresser most likely being on holidays or getting booked out) I know this phase is coming up, And, I am actually looking forward to it. I really like the way that 1950s models Dovima and Jean Patchett styled their hair when it was shorter, so it is fun to play around with it and try to create those looks. I also dyed my hair recently. It's a Napro colour called 'Rosewood Violet' and I love it, but I know with all my styling products and afternoon walks it will possibly fade to a brassy colour quite quickly. </div>

I've been inspired by Alexa Chung's simple and feminine style this summer. I tend to overdress and I still intend to be glamorous every opportunity I get (supermarkets, video stores...) however, I am slowly learning how to tone it down even if just a little. I may even consider doing a post about this new style philosophy of mine. Something like "How to look Glam on short notice" or "How to be casual and glamorous". Let me know what you think? I'm sure people still think I look ridiculous and OTT anyway, but each to their own. </div>

<br />
Now that I have finished work for the year I am officially in holiday mode and I'm starting to experiment with my make-up a bit more. I wear make-up almost every waking minute with the exceptions of swimming, lounging around the house in my pajamas and fishing. Contrary to popular belief, I do not wear make-up to impress others and if I was wearing make-up for that purpose I probably wouldn't bother as much with it. I know some people think that my obsession with painting my face is a little bit weird and I've had plenty of interesting remarks thrown my way.<br />
<br />
I've been told that I look "fine" without make-up, and I have also been complemented on how nice certain lip colours look etc. I thought it was about time I wrote a post about why I choose to wear make-up as I have been thinking about writing something along those lines for a while. Hopefully this article can enlighten a few of those who are curious as to why I do wear it, and that it might provide a few of my fellow beauty queens with some points that I'm sure they will resonate with.<br />

<u>TEN REASONS WHY I WEAR MAKE-UP:</u></div>
<br />
<br />
1. EXPRESSING MY MOOD/PERSONALITY:<br />
I am a shy person and I'm not great at expressing my feelings to people. I tend to keep my personality to myself and it is pretty hard for people to get to know me. To me make-up is another outlet (like fashion or art) that allows me to share a bit about myself visually. While, sometimes the make-up I choose to wear is suited more to a specific occasion than my mood, it is fun to have the option of expressing myself in that way. Wearing make-up in this way takes a bit of confidence, but it also makes me feel more confident knowing that what's on the outside reflects how I feel on the inside.<br />

2. ENHANCING FAVOURITE FACIAL FEATURES:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think of this as enhancing your "natural beauty". For example: I like the colour of my eyes and the shape/size of my lips, so I will often wear an eyeshadow that compliments the colour of my eyes and a bold lip-colour that brings attention to my lips. To me, make-up is a way for you to show people what you like about yourself. It's not about trying to change into someone else, or trying to cover up your skin with a mask. </div>

3. HIDE/DISGUISE FLAWS:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes, you get that big pimple pop up right before a special event and you really need to cover it up with something, so that when you look back on the photos in the future you remember the fun memories and not the pimple. I don't love my skin as much as I should and it doesn't always love me, so sometimes life is just a whole lot easier and less stressful when you get out the concealer and cover what you want to cover.</div>

4. IT MAKES ME LOOK HEALTHIER AND MORE AWAKE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have pale yellow skin and dark under-eye circles. It doesn't matter how happy I am or how much sleep I have, when I don't wear some kind of tinted face product I tend to get asked if I am feeling sick. I don't know about you, but I prefer to be told that I look nice, than to be asked if I feel okay. I also like to wear it when I'm feeling a little off, because having my make-up done puts me in a positive mindset which I always hope will trick my brain into thinking I'm fine and I won't get sick...</div>

5. IT'S ART FOR YOUR FACE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Putting on make-up requires creativity, the use of application techniques and allows you to play with different colour combinations. There are so many different looks to create and ideas to convey. If you like make-up, then dressing up for events and costume parties becomes a whole lot more exciting. </div>

6. IT'S PART OF MY OUTFIT:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes my make-up is what pulls a look together. The vampy lipstick I wore with the girly dress gave me more of a 90s grunge look, while a simple pink gloss would have made me look much more sweet and innocent. If my outfit isn't sharp enough a bit of eyeliner usually fixes that. Sometimes I feel like make-up can make the daggiest of clothes appear "Chic" or maybe that's just what I keep telling myself...</div>

7. BEAUTY PRODUCTS DISTRACT ME FROM THE NEGATIVE THINGS IN LIFE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If I am feeling sad- I can take my mirror out of my handbag and fix up my lipstick- I can feel sad and pretty. Not only does using beauty products distract you from whatever is wrong with the world (for a short time at least) it restores some of my confidence, so that I feel like I can deal with those problems or forget them completely.</div>

8. CONFIDENCE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel like I have touched on this a few times in the other points. Confidence is a big one for me. By putting make-up on- covering my insecurities, enhancing certain facial features- I feel like I can take on the world. Do I feel fierce because I put on that striking lip colour, or did I put that lippie on because I feel fierce? You'll never know. All I know, is that by initially having the confidence to wear such an out-there colour (something that many people I know are too scared to do) I can feel confident enough to do other things that might scare me. It might sound ridiculous to some, but I feel a whole lot better about myself when I'm wearing my make-up.</div>

So there you have it. Ten Reasons Why I Wear Make-up. I think some of the points are definitely linked to each other and for that reason this post might seem a bit repetitive. If you enjoy wearing make-up don't let anyone make you feel ashamed of that. Make-up may seem insignificant compared to a lot of other things, but if it gives you confidence and makes you happy, that's all that matters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you enjoyed this post regardless of your stance on make-up.</div>

Spring is nearly over and there is only one month till Christmas Day! I cannot believe how quickly the year has gone and I'm feeling a little guilty about the lack of blog posts that have been popping up here in the last three months. I would use the excuse that I have been trying to be more social, but even with the added outings and phone calls I still had plenty of time to write for you guys. Sorry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The weather is warming up pretty quickly, but at the start of Spring it was still pretty chilly (well for me anyway). We had a few showers of rain too which was nice. I've been spending a lot more time outside than usual and I'm starting to get a ballet-flat-tan-line. I've been walking along the park/beach most weekends and I even wore my swimsuit once. I also went to the pub a couple of times with a friend (was a friend) which is different for me. It's not really my scene and I doubt I will be going there again in the future, though I did have fun there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've done a bit more thrifting than usual and I've been waking up a little earlier and getting things done on the weekends. I wouldn't say I've read many books or watched many movies though. I have been focusing so much on the upcoming holidays and organizing gifts etc. There is a possibility of me joining a local art group and maybe participating in some other things, but I'm not going to get my hopes up, because getting even the slightest bit excited about anything seems to result in extra obstacles.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
SKINCARE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I started using a <b>Konjac</b> sponge for cleansing my face and it seems to help my skin a lot. I would highly recommend one to anyone, but advise that it is used gently as it can make skin more sensitive if you "scrub" intensely with it.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Nivea Naturals Day Cream (for Normal/Combination skin)</b> is really good. It works well under foundation and you only have to use the smallest bit.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Avon Royal Jelly Body Lotion </b>is really good for calming down my skin when it is super sensitive.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
MAKE-UP:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I really like the <b>Maybelline Fit Me Concealer</b> and I have it in two shades. The Shade 'Fair' is super light and is great for highlighting/brightening under the eyes, and 'Light' is a good match for my skin tone. I use 'Light' to cover up blemishes. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I have been wearing the <b>Colourpop Supershock Highlighter</b> in 'Butterfly Beach' as a blush. I also really like the <b>Sleek Blush</b> in 'Rose Gold'. Both of these options save time because they are a bit of a blush/highlight in one.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I have been using the <b>Colourpop Supershock EyeShadow</b> in 'Partridge', 'Mixed Tape' and 'I Spy' quite a bit. Two Eyeshadow Palette's that I have been using a lot are the <b>Sleek Enchanted Forest Palette</b> and the <b>MUA Undressed Palette</b>. I also used a bronze shadow from the <b>Sleek Oh So Special Palette</b> quite a fair bit. I think I wore that bronze shadow just about every-day for a week, which is a long time for me to commit to one shadow. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I tried out the <b>Rimmel Wake Me Up Mascara</b> and found that while it isn't waterproof (which leaves me with black smudges under my eyes thanks to the heat) it doesn't irritate my eyes as much as anything else I have tried. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I wore the <b>Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip</b> in 'Beeper' and 'Tulle' quite a bit. Both shades are quite dark on me. I also really enjoyed the <b>Colourpop Lippie Stix</b> in 'Dazed' and I rediscovered an old favourite <b>Limecrime Lipstick</b> in 'Retro Futurist'</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I tried out the <b>Maybelline Brow Drama Mascara</b> in 'Clear' and I think it is a lot better than most I have tried because the comb is really good. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I really like the <b>Real Techniques Eyeshadow Brush Set</b> and have been using the eyeliner brush from it to apply my gel eyeliner. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
HAIR:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I dyed my hair a purply brown colour at the start of Spring and it faded due to the shampoo I was using and the amount of sun I've been exposed to. It is now a reddy brown with ashy brown regrowth and a whole bunch of sun-streaks. I kind of like it (except the regrowth part) so I didn't dye it again. I might put a temporary colour in it soon though...</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I have been using the <b>Schwarzkopf Extra Care BB Hair Beautifier </b> in conjunction with the other hair products I already use. I think it makes my hair softer. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
STYLE/FASHION:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I've been wearing shorts a bit lately, because you don't have to worry about them blowing up in the breeze when you go outside. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I have also been wearing some of my cute cartoon T-shirts a bit and I've pulled out my sundresses a couple of times. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I haven't really been putting too much effort in because of the heat and because I didn't want to seem like I was putting in effort, so my whole style philosophy has literally been to pair everything with cat-eye glasses, pointy ballet flats, bright/dark lipstick and my frame bag, And hope that was enough to look classy.</li>
</ul>

BOOKS/MOVIES:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I saw <b>'The Dressmaker'</b> in cinema with Mum and I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't watch it again though.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I watched <b>'The Best of Me'</b> which I was really looking forward to. I was kind of disappointed by it.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I watched <b>'Delicacy'</b> which is a french movie starring Audrey Tautou and I really enjoyed it.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I also finally saw <b>'Con Air' </b>and <b>'Miss Congeniality'</b> which I enjoyed. I know you all probably can't believe that I hadn't seen those movies until now...</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I read <b>'First Frost'</b> <b>by Sarah Addison Allen</b> which I thought was amazing and I will review it at some point for you all.</li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
LIFE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I have been walking a lot at the beach/park and am spending more time enjoying my surroundings and appreciating them. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I have been learning more about my MBTI personality type which I think is really interesting. It makes me feel like less of a freak to know that the things I do are actually pretty normal for people with the same personality type as me.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I faced a few small fears. Nothing major, And I still have a ridiculous amount of fears, but baby steps...</li>

I am looking forward to Christmas and I hope it is a lot more positive and exciting than last year! I really enjoy this time of year as I get a lengthy holiday from work and I can escape the summer heat all day by hiding out in the air-conned lounge room with a good book or movie. I am also looking forward to trying out some "out-there" make-up looks which would not be appropriate for the workplace. </div>

While Halloween still isn't a huge celebration in Australia, it is gaining popularity. All of the talk of magic and costumes and traditions does bring out the wicked side in some of us. Lately I have noticed my own preference for striking accessories, darker fabrics and bolder styling choices. When I choose to wear these things I can't help but feel a little bit more confident.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy this post whether you are looking for Halloween outfit inspiration or if you just feel like exploring your dark side.<br />
