Halloween 2014 Sundaesins

top : COTTON ON / skirt : BKK / knee socks : similars here / Mary-Jane shoes : similars here

Happy Halloween peeps!! Well that was 4 days ago LOL. 
I know you guys will be busy partying that's why I did this post a lil late ;P (excuses) BTW how was your HALLOWEEN! 
I did 2 outfits this year because I had different events to attend to on different days! Both were quite different but still, 
the same. HAHA, I was a black cat on the second day, both are animals. Well, I wanted to be a UNICORN at first! 
But when I tried wearing pastel clothes again I didn't really match my dark black hair anymore :( So that was really sad.
I was thinking of pastel pinks and doing glittery make ups and making a unicorn's horn for my day-2 outfit but I couldn't,
because of my damn hair :( OH WELL, So i had to do last minute changes (the night before) and DIYed my own cat ears! 
To see more halloween pics with my DAY2 outfit click on my facebook page @ Facebook.com/SUNDAESINS 
I have an album there full of my Halloween outfits this year ! :P heh, being a sexy black kitty this year.


Oh did I forgot to say, 
I carried a real carrot with me the whole time ??? LOL! I know... some people are teasing me because of the shape... 
But I genuinely think it's totally fine because I don't think dirty thoughts -_- But it became black afterwards 
probably cause it oxidized and it wasn't very appropiate anymore... lol

So outfit time! TO BE A white bunny, well obviously you have to wear white clothes, lol I decided to go 
with this tutu skirt because I was going with the cute flirty vibe. There's some cute lace skirts like THESE from FREE PEOPLE
OR To be a cute bunny, you could wear some FAUX FUR because people let's not support killing furry animals - like bunnies.


here's another set of photos that I took in my friend's place! Just can't get over how cute the look is! 


lalala, shameless bunny selfie put big big here, LOL

There's only a very limit sort of occasions where I can wear this ultra cute stockings,  too cute!

CHUBBY BUNNY!! 

LOL so like I said I couldn't wear pastel clothes with my dark hair, so I decided to be a black kitty last minute.
Check out my much flaws DIY ears that I made, it's made out from paper, and the same with my bunny ears,
it's ultra low budget, I just added in 2 starbucks straws to make sure the ears stayed up, lol.
This year's Halloween outfit is ultra ultra low budget for me, these are all stuffs you can find around you house! 
And even (can you believe it or not) my collar / whip chain for my cat costume is made out from the strap on my bag,
HAHA! My friends couldn't believe it when told them that! I think it adds on a kinky touch, ahahhaha.

corset : similars here / leather skirt : similars here 

I made do with the things I had at home because of the last minute wardrobe changes, and of course, low budget.
I'm getting my iPHONE 6 tomorrow, (it's an investment mind you) after that I'll be ultra ultra broke, heck I wonder how am i gonna survive.
So any of you wanna bring this lil kitty cat out for dinner always feel free to give me a call okay ;) Speaking of dinner,
LOK LOK! I've been craving to have lok lok (or is it called luk luk) since gods know when. For my dear foreign readers, lok lok is
actually really really nice steamboat by the road side, haha I know it may sound a bit rachet and dirty, but it's yummmmmmsss
Speaking about food I've been having late lunches like 4pm lunches these days because I'm so busy at work, it's killing.
This week and the next is gonna be so insane for me. I'm writing with a major back ache, blocked nose, and a headache,
Working non stop sometimes I feel that I can faint with this tsunami of workload within an ultra tight deadline :(
I'm listening to my "depression" playlist now, I hope this ends soon, this phrase I mean, everything in life is only a phrase.


HOOKAY, this is getting depressing, well I guess you just have to brush your shoulders and say, I'm okay.
Because no matter how good you are, how late you work until, no one will acknowledge that, no one will care,
because by end of the day everyone just wants to see the results, and no one will give a damn what good work you're putting out there,
if you have a flaw they will point it out and stab you with it despite being the best at your doing.
Boys and girls, life is hard, but what can we do? lol okay, I think my depressing playlist is making me say these.

Good night people before I say anything I regret. One thing I know for sure is that the bed is always the cure for everything :)

Ankle boots + Bling DIY


This is result for my latest DIY project.

I bought these knee length boots from Forever 21 a few months ago that I had to keep
because it was one of those pretty pairs that were on crazy sale and I had to buy it and
try to figure out a way to innovate it later, haha. I wanted to put studs on them at first
but through time I didn’t think that it would reach my fondness; I love studs but I also
wanted to push myself to get out of my comfort zone of just playing with studs. So in 
the end I opted for a more bling and elegant look instead of the punkish boots that 
I was going for at the start.

So here's how I did this project that I'm sure all of you can do too :)



see, pretty easy right? 
I wore the bracelets here and bought two on impulse because of the sales again, 
They were too big for my small wrist; that's why don't throw away pretty things, 
you might need them for a DIY project in the future, haha.

I glued in the extra cloth after I cut the boots just to keep it neat. I didn’t want to cut it
at the edge because I think that would look awful, but if you already have low cut boots
you can skip the first step. It’s a very easy peasy DIY that I finished just within a day. 
It could have took a shorter time because I was over persnickety about where the gems
should be placed, I tried a few designs and decided to go with this one after the forth
attempt, and I think that arranging and deciding where the blings should be decorated
on is the most fun process of this whole diy :) 

Happy DIY people!
hehe I'm most pleased with the outcome and can't wait to share an outfit post with you soon!
p/s I'm still having major problems finding the right broadband brand for my stupid condo which does not support unifi :(

A pocket full of flowers


photo credit : MEL JUSTICE

top : my graduation tee from CREATIVEINVASION
bottom : DIY pocket shorts from PULL AND BEAR
outerwear : varsity from a birthday gift

currently blogging in a cafe now cause my wifi is down. It's weird because I'm not in my 'comfort zone' 
and I feel people behind me are looking at my photos and what I'm writing about now, lol, yea it's weird.
and in a few more days I won't be having any internet access because I'm moving house.
One thing about my condo is that it doesn't have that fibre optic thing that UNIFI uses, so no more unifi for me:(
I guess I need to rely on some lame broadband stuff which I'm sooo foreign with the notion. gosh someone safe me!
And I never knew I had sooooo many things, I'm sooo tired of packing I don't wanna pack anymore T_T
like seriously I'm not even kidding when I say I have 5 large boxes for clothes, shoes, and bags,
sooo insane, I'm tired mentally and physically, I've been staying in this place for 3 years,
and it's almost like a home to me, especially Sunway. I'm gonna miss everything from my room.
the creepy ventilation on top my ceiling that I always fred something might fall down from there,
The lock and I broke *shh don't tell anyone* when I got locked outside my room,
The way the light shines it's morning light to greet me when I lay awake,
the pale color wall that makes the whole room look so calm...
sigh, it's mentally saddening because I'm so used to all this,
I even cried this morning because I won't be showering in ridiculously cold water anymore
because my heater broke a few months ago, I can't believe I cried because I'm gonna miss showering in cold water.
What I'm gonna miss the most about sunway is the people who makes my days everyday
 and tells me lame lame joke and makes me laugh all the time.

............

anyways that is not the main topic for my post today, haha,
I'm always going off-topic!



Have you ever got a pair of pants you love so much,
and that specific pants have that torn-old look that doesn't last for more than a year?
I bought these pants from Pull and Bear and honestly it's too costly for me to throw it away,
I also like that little patterns on the bottom of the shorts so much! I needed to find a way to give back it's life.
all you need for this ultra simple diy is cloths and fabric glue.
I don't think you can sew it on because of the stitching.
you can use lace instead of cloth if you want but I didn't had lace that's why, haha.
and walla! a new born torn out pants, haha! 

I hope you guys enjoy this little DIY, 
I've recently done a pretty nice DIY and I can't wait to show it to you guys, 
eeeek! CAN"T WAIT! :D
hehe, turning the old into new again just make my day to the max! 
I also hope you guys have a great sunday and get ready for monday! 
And I hope your day is better than mine:) 
I gtg now cause the cafe is turning on really bad and loud music, T_T good bye people.
I can't wait to blog again soon!!



till then, 
xoxo

Mustard Mustache and a small DIY



photo credit : MEL JUSTICE

top : mustard mustache top from UGLY DUCKLING
bottom : black skater skirt from COTTON ON
lace socks from COTTON ON
shoes : lace up creepers from FASHIONSANITY


ahhahaa, I was having my marilyn monroe moment up there. ..
Blogging, dressing up, and doing DIYs are my usual 'breather' or 'julie' time from this hustle and bustle of college life. 
I was so busy I didn't even had time to celebrate my 21st birthday! 
But as much as I want to blog or feel the urge and need to, I had to put this 'breather' space beside because 
I was so busy with getting my final semester from my college done, and as much as I miss this,
the tiredness was overwhelming in a way physically and mentally I had to have other solutions to solve this 'breather' problem.

But all problems behind, I feel energized and refreshed now! 
mainly because I dyed and chopped the weigh off my hair! 
I was so amazed that the hair stylist chopped off a carpet of hair, yes, a CARPET OF HAIR from my head.
I myself didn't know I had that much extra unwanted hair on my head, no wonder it was always so heavy.
I blame it on my thick thick hair that i had previously.
from the start of the year till recently I was so so busy I barely hard time to breath (blog), 
I even let my hair grew and told myself it's okay if your black roots are almost covering half of your head.
My hair was ugly from Chinese new year till last few days, Gosh! Appearance really messes with how you feel. lol.

I feel so weird seeing myself with middle parting hair.
Probably for half of my life I've been living with bangs and now letting my fridge grow long is just so foreign for me.
I've known to be 'that girl with the fridge and big glasses', and the last time I parted my hair into half
was when I was 10! where middle parting were the 'IN' thing yo. hahahaahaa..
parting my hair to the middle gives me lots of insecurities, I feel that my forehead's very shy to be revealed to the world,
I always tell myself that I have a very high forehead that needs bangs to cover,
and one thing funny about my forehead is that I have a frankenstein mole, yes! a twin,
one mole on the left, one mole one the right.
If you could use a ruler to measure it, they would be at the same level... lol funny funny forehead.

Anyways! back to today's topic ! :P 



A new DIY i managed to pull off during my final week of total chaos and stress. woohoo! 
I just used some black thick cloth that you can find in your local art store cut them into mustache shapes,
and then pin two holes on them so the shoe laces goes through :) 
they're effortlessly adorable and a perfect match with the tee .
It only took me like 10 mins for the whole idea because I got inspired by this tee sponsored by UGLY DUCKLING ! :D 
I wanna thank you so much Ugly Duckling again for unfailingly surprisingly me again! 
they got me 2 items off their rack and they're both so adorableeee.... :) 
I love how the material of the shirt is not like cotton which is too thick, I donno what material this is but it's so loose and comfy!!
It's too perfect for the weather nowadays which is a total mess! scotching hot on the afternoons,
then during the evenings it's pouring rain for hours then after that the hot humid air sticks on your skin.
So much for bathing myself with Victoria Secret's everyday ... what a waste! 
I'm not a big fan of mustache, like one time during the trend where everyone suddenly loves mustache,
haha, I find it so funny there's mustache iphone cases, mustache shirts/dress/bags/prints everywhere.
This is the only mustache item that I have and honestly I think it's quite cute! lol or maybe it's because I'm wearing it heh.


Oh ! and happy easter everyone! :) hope you're enjoying yours! 
I'm started my easter morning by finishing a whole bar of Dove chocolate myself.
it's addicting!

and i have this weird likings for geometrical and triangular shapes,
so in the future, whenever i'm free, i shall try extend my likings to my photo designs,
haha! can't wait! 


I laughed really hard when i saw this picture.
and decided ah, i have to post this up, hahah! 
me and my cat who really hates taking photos ,lol.
are all siamese cats so grumpy ? please let me know, haha! 


again I feel so blessed having the most awesome sponsors giving me clothes that i always wanted.
like this skirt from Jetedeesire for example, 
as you guys know, I've always loved galaxy stuffs, 
I was quite sick of seeing people from everywhere wearing galaxy fishtail skirts already,
i think it's a lil too mainstreamed, but this bodycon galaxy skirt is definitely an exception.
I love the way how galaxy prints can evolve from shoes, bags, clothes, to different types of skirts.
don't you think it's so versatile ? 
This is the 2nd item that they're sponsoring me,
they have soo many awesome accessories that you gotta check out!
for instance, check out the first item that they sponsored me here


and also thank you for this lovely studded sheer white top which shows some skin on the arms,
I think that's pretty sexy actually. thank you so much SHOPLIGHTS for sponsoring me this top!!
it's now one of my favvvourite tops to wear! 
I don't usually wear tank tops because i feel quite insecure with my flabby arms,
haha! so this top pretty much helps me in a lot of way,
to hide and show a lil bit of the arms, ah! how teasing ! :P hehe! 
Oh! and just like their facebook page here to get 5% discount for clothes! 


btw, have you guys watched my DIY galaxy tutorial video yet? 
hope you guys liked it :) 
and have a wonderful weekend ahead! 
i love you all to bits!

The galaxy is in your hand(bag) X DIY galaxy bag tutorial


photo credit : ME & my trusty TRIPOD

wearing

top : crop vest from TOPSHOP
bottom : galaxy fis-tail skirt from randomboutique
accessories : rosary from DIVA
bag : DIY galaxy clutch sponsored by FRIENDLYFASHION
shoes : velvet pumps from ZARA


forgive me if you find some of the pictures a bit blurry,
that's because i took each and every single one of them myself! 
which i'm actually very proud and satisfied with the results,
but it's really weird seeing the pictures of myself on blogger now, i wonder why.hmm.
i never imagine me finally being the model and the photographer together that smoothly.
well i did took some self portraits with the tripod before, but none of them as good as these ones.
You can imagine me dragging and changing the position of the tripod countless times, 
haha, it's all just for fun, because i wanted to do a bathtub / galaxy / gangsta /sexy nancy sinatra shoot.
I know it's a lil too much to ask for my expectations, but whatever.
I'm hoping you guys like the shoots as much as i do :)
so enjoy!





Here's my DIY galaxy bag tutorial!! FINALLY!! 
please please please view it in HD, other than that it's really bad ! lol thanks! 

So here's what you'll need :
• Black Spray
• Arcylic paints 
• Newspaper
• Nail polish remover

So i was filming my DIY clutch tutorial video myself one day, 
and decided to Oh just take pictures while i still have my make up on, 
and walla! here's the outcome which I'm pretty satisfied with! :D 
the video is done especially for friendlyfashion's blog 
you can check what i wrote herehere for the step by step tutorial in words!!
thank you so much again FriendlyFashion for sponsoring me the clutch to DIY.
I'm loving galaxy prints more and more everyday when i look at the bag, haha! 
we've all seen this lovable print on shoes, shirts, dresses but i never seen one on a clutch / bag before.
that's how i got the idea of making a DIY galaxy bag myself! 
since they don't have it in the market anyways, 
no worries about clashing outfits with other people then.

but sadly, because of the music copyright thing, the video is blocked in Germany :( 
I really satisfied with the galaxy bag, and me being a perfectionist, 
it took me a reallllllllly long to film the whole video.
a lot of work and effort has been put in the video so please do view it in HD! 

And if you're observant enough you may spot that i have about 3/4 different nail art on my fingers.
and that about explains how long it took me to film the whole video,
I only use iMovie to edit because i'm not really good at editing movies,
but ! i hope you guys like my very homemade video and hope it inspires you:)
♥ don't forget to hit me a like or comment to show me some love!

xoxo, 
miss you guys...
