I AM ALIVE!

Hi guys!
I just wanted to write a short blog to tell you that I am really sorry for not blogging for the last couple of months. There has just been so much happening! Pretty much as soon as I landed back on home soil I got really sick and I mean REALLY sick and even had to stay at a hospital for a couple of days...and noooo it was not the swine. But I am ok now and I will get back to blogging as soon as tomorrow...yayy! :)
And don't worry I have heaps to talk about so stay tuned.

Sorry again...and I'll see you soon:)

xoxo

The end is near...

So I am in my last week at film school and things are at their most craziest! Unfortunately my stress levels did show their true colors today (I blame the actors that keep cancelling on me at the last minute...ARGH!) while I was getting ready to shoot an interview for my mockumentary and it was not pretty, especially for the poor boyfriend that had to take it on the chin. But don't worry, I made up for it with a delicious spaghetti bolognase and a big fat kiss to say sorry:) More shooting tomorrow but I will try to concur my stress this time as I really don't like myself like that.

I am leaving back to Iceland in 12 days!...Shiiit! Time goes to fast when you're busy as a mofo, jeez! I really don't think the thought of going home is really sinking in just yet but I am predicting that I will wake up sometime next week in the middle of the night in a stress frenzy, worried about getting everything ready and done for the big move again...Ohh well, at least I'll be ready for it;)

I've been shopping a bit lately and I'd like to share the love:

I've been looking for the perfect blazer for ages and I finally found it in Dotti. I nearly didn't see at it was hiding in some corner, not the best selling strategy ever as this is a very popular type of jacket but I managed to snatch it up.

Oxford Flats - Again something I've been looking for and finally found on an unplanned browse in the city the other day and they only had two pairs left and one was in my size...which never happens! Happy days:)

The perfect leopard shirt from Mink Pink.

I've also bought a lot of makeup and skin care products and I will give reviews on them in my next blog.

I'd like to end this blog with the stupidest quote I've heard...ever!

"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff"

- Mariah Carey

Hope you are all having a good week...xx

Twin Cat Vintage

I would like to give an honorable mention to one of my favorite, if not my favorite eBay vintage clothing store. Twin Cat Vintage summarises everything I love about stylish vintage gems.
And that's not all. As you can see from the photos above, Twin cat Vintage not only sells beautiful clothes but also takes gorgeous pictures using their stunning models, wearing mostly the clothes that are being sold. It is always a joy for me to check out their listings to look at the TCV eye candy, as I like to call it;)
And the gorgeous girl that started it all is such an inspiration to me because one of my ultimate dreams (after becoming a successful director...hehe) is to one day own a successful vintage online clothing store and then branch out into a real life store on some main street in a fabulously trendy city, Ohh Yeah!
Plus I loves cats so there you go;)

.::Home is where the heart is::.

Sorry for the lack of posts recently I have just been stressed out from having too much on my plate this month. I blame the mandatory 3D animation class that I have to attend every Saturday for 6 hours straight...yes, you heard right 6 friggin hours!!! I have really come in touch with my inner nerd in this course and I'm doing better that I thought I would which is scaring me a bit.
My year at SAE Institute is nearly finished (time flies!) and I'm now working on my last major production. I was going for a music video which appeals to me the most at this stage but ended up having this other great idea and doing something completely out of my comfort zone.
And the winner is: A fictional documentary or mockumentary, if using the correct term.
I know, not everyones cup of tea but I have written it about a very interesting subject and hopefully I will keep the viewers in suspense they whole way through. I'm at the stage now of finding actors and polishing up my script but hopefully I will be ready to shoot next week, fingers crossed because there is not a lot of time left...AAAA!

And on that note I am pleased to report to everyone back home in Iceland that I have finally got myself together and booked the trip back home...yayy! Last weekend was all about planning and booking the whole thing and I am very relieved to not have to worry about it anymore.
So it will be bye for now to Australia on the 8th of September and hello Singapore for 2 days. Then off to London for 6 days to do the tourist thing, shopping and visiting my dad. And finally we will be arriving back to our beloved economic-crisis-land on the 16th of September. Aww...no, I don't mean that. I am really looking forward to seeing my family and friends, economic crisis or not. So exited to be travelling again soon:)

My birthday is coming up this weekend and surprisingly I haven't got a lot planned which is totally out of character for me. Normally I would be planning to have a huge party but it's just not appealing to me this year. Cake, drinks and clubbing will be my birthday of choice and hopefully everyone will have a great time.

I've bought a lot of new stuff recently which I will be sharing with you very soon:)

Hopefully everyone is having a great week! xxx

MAC Color Craft Collection

I went into town today with my mind set on MAC's new color craft collection. I had heard so many good things about it and I simply couldn't wait any longer. I am a relatively a new MAC cosmetics fan but I can honestly say that it has been a long time since I've seen such a gorgeous collection! It was hard not to buy the whole thing but I had to be realistic and buy only essentials ...so to speak:)

I walked out with these:

* Daft Pink Mineralize Blush (A lovely pink colored blush that work great as a highlighter)

* Fad-dabulous Minerlize Blush (A rosie colored blush with golden veins)

* Cheeky Bronze Mineralize Skinfinish (a great plum brownish bronzer)

* Made With Love Lipstick

* 2 Color Crafted Lipsticks (such a gorgeous lipstick that i had to buy a back up, can't have that one run out any time soon!)

But for some reason I didn't fall in love with the mineral eyeshadows, although they do look great. The mineral skin finishes were in absolutely gorgeous colors with veins of gold or silver in them and the same with the blushes. They feel really light on the skin but if you are a matte person then these products are not for you.

I am soooo tempted to go out and buy more...aaaa!

My new obsession

Well folks it looks like I have developed another obsession that will almost certainly send me broke. Hehe...maybe not, but close.
It's not a big surprise since I am a 23 year old female. It was only a matter of time that I started obsessing about cosmetics and everything involved. But it's not like I woke up one day and decided to buy heaps of makeup, no, not the case. Truth to be told, I have been surrounded by makeup and strict beauty regimes since I was a little girl starting with my grandmother having a beauty and cosmetics store before she retired and my mum being a model.
I am a strong believer in taking extra good care of yourself and through the years I have slowly but surely been getting more and more interested in it. I even have more than once considered going to makeup courses.
Though there are a few key factors that recently pushed me (in a good way) into realising that this had changed into something more than just interest and have made me completely hooked.

1. Makeup Vlogs (YouTube): This has been the most inspiration to me. These girls dedicating themselves by posting makeup tutorials on YouTube. I am big follower and subscriber to a few of them that not only offer tutorials but also offer advice, the do's and dont's about makeup, good and bad beauty products, their newest makeup buys and keep you up to date with everything in the cosmetics world...they even test them out for you to see.
If you are keen on beauty products then I recommend that you check these gorgeous girls out!
Lollipop26
Pixiwoo
GypsySayer...Just to name a few. It's easy to find more.

2. Makeup blogs: Is pretty much the same as above except that you can't watch. But I always love reading blogs so this is just a bonus. The same girls that do their Vlogs also have blogs and you can find them on their YouTube site

3. Cheap makeup on the Internet: Everything is cheaper on the good old interweb. Every time I see a bargain or realise that the item is cheaper than in the shops I will be VERY tempted to buy it! And you can also find awesome makeup brands that are not sold in Australia.
Strawberrynet - They ship worldwide for FREE!
Cherry Culture - Gorgeous cheap cosmetics.
eBay - There are a lot of makeup shops on eBay that are cheap as chips!

So I hope you are not too exhausted after all that ranting. But I am hoping to blog more about makeup and beauty products every once in a while.

Feel free to tell me if you know something that I haven't mentioned in this blog regarding any cosmetics or beauty products. I love learning new things:)

Ciao...xx

Etsy finds

I know I am bit late on the Etsy band wagon but better late then never and boy was I missing out. So after hearing everyone raving about this site and me being an eBay-holic I decided to venture out on new grounds to look for new black boots. I didn't find my perfect boots but came out with two other great buys instead. I received my first Etsy packages last week and in them were: The coolest necklace body harness. (Yes, I have been very lazy to DIY one myself but I am supporting other artists, that's my excuse;)) Then these super cool vintage spandex electro leggings. Which I will be wearing next time I go out dancing:)

If anyone is interested then these are the links to the Etsy sellers.
