5 bikinis I want but can't afford

The weather is shitty and depressing right now, so I'm going to make a post about bikinis. I'm illogical like that.
I have a total of $19 in my bank account, which is probably more depressing than the weather, but oh well.

1. Zimmermann 'Ebony Rose' Bikini - $429 from Ruby

2. Camilla and Marc 'Raspberry Rope Triangle' Bikini - $297 from Superette


3. Lover '70s Peephole Bandeau' - $299 from Superette


4. Mara Hoffman 'Chieftan Story' Bikini - £163.24 from Net-A-Porter (I'm guessing that's around $NZ 350)
5. Zimmermann 'Posy Scallop Frill Triangle' Bikini - $283 from Zip Me Up

And in case you weren't already yearning for that summer weather....

Jumping Back on the Bandwagon

It's been just over three years since I last posted to this blog, and wow, how things have changed. I'm not going to delete any of the original posts, as some of them are still semi relevant, and I really like the one where I interviewed Lucie Boshier.

I promise I'll update this a bit more frequently than once every three years now!

I actually have a bit too much time on my hands these days. I've spent the last week watching Beverly Hills 90210 (the original one), Baywatch and Tumblr-ing. All three of which are incredibly addictive.
Oh, and I've also started another blog with my best friend, called Booming Back at You.

Lily Montana goes... Ginga?

Sorry about the long time no post... I've had exams and a lot going on right now! Anywho, I was on the Runway Reporter website and it appears that the bubbly blonde model Lily Montana has had a slight change of hair colour.



Hm... Wonder what her agents said...

Snap!

International department stores are well known for their almost perfect designer knockoffs, especially American chain store Forever 21. They recently launched a new line called "Twelve by Twelve" and it seems that they've been getting a bit of inspiration from none other than Cybele.
It might just be me but the two dresses below look pretty similar...


Or maybe not.. they dont look so similar now that they're side by side.

Summer Lovin'

With exams just around the corner and the end of the school year in sight, I'm probably more excited than ever about the well deserved rest that I'm gonna have this summer! I'm also really looking forward to digging out my summer dresses and sifting through all my winter shoes to find my Havaianas. But most of all, I just can't wait to go shopping for more summer clothes - new bikinis, shoes, make-up and... LUELLA FOR O'NEILL!!
I have no idea if they're going to bring it out here but one can only hope they have a website...


Aren't they gorgeous? I really want a pair but I'm not too sure I'll get into the shops before they've all sold out... I guess I do need an excuse not to study

Trick or treat?

I've never really been into Halloween, even when I was younger. I did host my own mini Halloween party a couple of years ago and I went as a witch - the most cliche dress-up. I'm not doing anything for it this year on account of it being on a Wednesday night and me having school the next day and all, but I was wondering what on earth I would dress up in if I was going to a party. I could always dress up as a highlighter, I'm sure I could find all the clothes I need for that from Supre.
I found a couple of costumes that I could hire, such as the ones below



You know you want to look like a Pavlova. Or Ginger Spice. Or whatever that pink thing is.

I wonder why on earth they put a nun costume in the "Pimps and prostitutes" section. I quite like the pimp costume though, it looks quite realistic. As does the fat lady one. In case you're wondering, all the costumes come from Desiree.co.nz

All I can say is, thank God I'm not dressing up!

In the summertime

Judging by the cold, windy weather we had yesterday, its quite hard to believe that summer isn't far off. In my opinion, there is nothing worse than trying on a bikini in winter - you're as pasty as can be, gained a bit of weight and possibly have a few furry patches. It is a good idea, however, to buy swimwear before the "summer rush" hits and you find yourself going shopping for one the day before you leave for a beach holiday.
Right now I should be studying for the exams I have coming up in three weeks time, but I'd much rather be looking at swimwear online! I have a feeling that white swimwear will be quite hot this summer even though its not very practical...

Makes you wish summer would hurry up - doesn't it?
