Why hello there

Well I haven't posted anything for a while mainly because I haven't been up to much these past few weeks even though it was the end of the holidays.
That has now brought through me first week of year 11! I am so happy with my lessons but I am bummed out that I didn't get to do fashion because it clashed with music. However, I still get to do photography, 2 different lessons of music this semester and 3 next semester, art next semester and of course english and maths.

Here is a few pictures from my instagram (chelsealikesyoursmile):

Hopefully I wont be gone for as long this time! See you soon xx

Summer Hits

Well it sure is summer with this scorching heat! Since it has been way too hot for my liking I decided to make a summer playlist and what is better then music to keep you going through the heat. My playlist includes artists such as:
The Wombats - Summer Hit
The Living End - Heatwave
Loon Lake - In The Summer
Ball Park Music - It's Nice To Be Alive
The Cat Empire - Days Like These, Cities, Til The Ocean Takes Us All, Sly
Regina Spektor - Summer In The City
Bleeding Knees Club - Girls Can Do Anything, Beach Slut, Who Are You
Amy Meredith - FUN
Looking at the playlist I have noticed at least half the tunes are by Australian artists...

I hope all fellow Australians are keeping cool and go grab yourself a lemonade Icy Pole haha

2013?!

Happy New Year!

So we have made it to 2013, wow! I hope everyone had a lovely night, I spent mine down at the beach with some friends and watched the fireworks. 

Some of us dug out a couch to sit in haha. (I am the last on on the right)

Looking forward to another great year ahead and all the memories that will go with it :)

 What I Wore

T-shirt: Etsy

Skirt: Rewind

Shoes: Converse

I wore this outfit the other day when I went to town for some shopping. I had been planning to wear this for a while but it was either too cold (summer took some time to kick in) or I had no where to wear it. I ended up wearing ballet flats instead of converse and I am glad I did because it got really hot. This skirt was from a really awesome recycled/vintage shop but sadly it is now gone :(

Space Nails.

How exciting... my first post! I thought I should start off with a nail tutorial because who doesn't like pretty looking nails!

What you need:
Nail polish in black, glitter and 4 of your choice. You will also need a make-up sponge (if you don't have one experiment! I used cotton make-up pad)
Note: It does get a little messy with the nail polish going on your skin around your nails but that can be cleaned up haha.

What to do:

1. Start by painting your nails black, this is your base.

2. Using your first colour, mine was purple, pain some onto the sponge then dab it onto your nail in a small section. Repeat on each nail.

3. Do the same with the other colours but not over the purple.

4. Next cover your nails in glitter. I first used a one with big bits of glitter to represent planets, then used plain silver sparkles to represent stars.

And with a little bit of cleaning up around the nails you're done!
