OotD: Nicki Inspired

This past weekend I went to the Nicki Minaj concert.  I'm not the hugest fan of Nicki; it's not really my style of music.  With that said, it was pretty amazing.  Her concert was such a spectacle.  The set amazing.  The lighting amazing.  The special effects amazing.  It was a great night and the support acts offered plenty of opportunities to people watch.  I wanted to share my outfit, make-up and nails for the event!

My dress is from Modcloth.  I love its vibrant, primary colours.  Plus it has a bit of tulle underneath to fill it out on the bottom.
My shoes were from Target.  They're a great pair of navy wedges. 

The key features of my make-up were my bright, aqua eye liner and my bright cheeks.  After seeing Mishelle's post about the Australis 10 hour eye liner, I knew I had to get it!  I paired this with Gold Card and Pretty in Mink eyeshadow from Benefit's She's So Jetset kit and They're Real Mascara.  For my cheeks I used Femme Fatale's Velvet Cupcake.  Stay tuned for a more in-depth post.

For my nails, I had to use colours from the OPI Nicki Minaj collection!  I chose my two favourites from the collection, Fly and Save Me.  I have two coats of Fly with a coat of Save Me painted on top.   I really like the combination.

Have you been to any extravagant concerts lately?

OOTD: Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Day)

Being American, I love Halloween.  Taking three plus years of Spanish, I love Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).  Living in Australia, I don't really get to celebrate either.

For Halloween, I dressed up as Amy Pond (again); however, this time I the correct jumper (which I absolutely adore).  For Dia de los Muertos, I wore an outfit of black and orange.  I really like this time of year and I want to hold on to some of my traditions.

Shirt: Op Shop (super find!)

Skirt: Cue (I adore this company)

Tights: Gloss

Shoes: Rubi

OOTD: Amy Pond

Last week I participated in the Rotary Ramble Perth challenge to raise money for Telethon.  If you are  unfamiliar with the Ramble, it's basically a giant scavenger hunt mixed with Amazing Race throughout the city of Perth.  Costumes were encouraged, so why not dress like your favourite television show, Doctor Who.  I chose to dress like Amy from the 'Flesh and Stone', Season 5 episode.

Amy Pond Costume

The jumper I had ordered from American Apparel didn't arrive until two days after the Ramble.  I'll still get use out of it for Halloween, so all is good (except I now have this random, oversized jumper I'm not too fond of).

Did anyone else do the Ramble or dressing up for Halloween?

OutfitOTD- Stripes and Colour

I love clothes and fashion (although recently they are taking a backseat to beauty products) so I thought I would do an Outfit of the Day every so often.  They may turn out to be Outfits of the Week. 

Last Saturday, I went to the Mumford and Sons concert here in Perth (which was fantastic! even with the rain).  Here was the outfit I wore.

This is one of my cheap outfits, but I love it.  I have an obsession with cardigans and I'm really into stripes again at the moment.

Yellow/Gold Cardigan- Target, $40... You can't really tell from this photos, but there are hearts on the front/sides of this cardi. 

Black and White Striped Shirt- Big W, $10... I bought this shirt because I couldn't justify spending $90 on a similar shirt from Cue.  I am still surprised by how much I love this top.

Jeans- ModCloth, Blank NYC, $85... I'm not one to buy jeans on-line.  Being short, I have a lot of trouble finding ones that fit right. However, I took the plunge and purchased these and they're my favourite jeans.  They may be a bit big because they get quite stretched out after one or two wears.

Black Canvas Shoes- Rubi, $15... These are great, casual flats.

I am going to miss these clothes soon now that it is warming up.  I really love fall/winter clothes.

Did any of you see Mumford and Sons while they were here in Aus?  Anyone with those favourite pair of jeans?
