roped in


zimmerman rope belt in electric blue

i went to a zimmermann sale at the start of october and fell in love with this electric blue rope belt as shown above.   it was $40 AUD and i couldn't justify it. however it added a wonderful pop of colour to a watermelon-coloured zimmermann wrap dress i was trying on.  i can't stop thinking about this belt now. help! i have looked everywhere on ebay as well.

i'm thinking i can make the belt myself so i'll keep everyone posted on how i go.

halloween idea #1: lady gaga's bubble dress

i have never really celebrated halloween living in australia. however, this year three friends and i have decided to throw a halloween combined birthday shin-dig. i'm really looking forward to this as i have never been very enthusiastic when i attend a dress-up party, but all of a sudden, i have a great desire to play dress-ups and be someone else for a night.
"Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." - Cady from Mean Girls.
well i don't intend to wear underwear and wear some sort of animal ears, but the past few days i have been trying to find an appropriate outfit for the birthday shin-dig.

idea #1: lady gaga's bubble dress


do-it-yourself lady gaga bubble dress - bubbles sold on ebay here.

unfortunately, it's a diy project and i don't think i have enough time or patience to sew 100 acrylic balls onto a body stocking. so i think i have to keep searching. if you have made this costume yourself, please link me to a photo. i would love to see the finished product.

i want...


Witchery's jersey knot bust dress - $39.95AUD from DFO or can be purchased online here.

i love how this dress has a little twist to it. it's very muted, yet has understated details. from memory, it has two jersey layers to the skirt; but i could be dreaming. I saw this in the Witchery outlet at DFO Southwharf last week and was very tempted to purchase it.

one reason why i think i fell in love with this dress is because it reminded of this dress.

as a diy project, i was thinking i could purchase some studs or sequins and recreate this look by putting some studs studs on similar areas. you can buy your own studs from studandspikes.com
