my favourite headband!

a simple tutorial on how to make my favourite headband

YAY!

A couple months back my camera was working really slowly, so I thought I needed a new one. I asked for one for Christmas this month. Dad tried to fix it and it turned out something is wrong with the flash.
In July, I entered a regional competition to celebrate my country's 50th anniversary. The prize giving was today, I won 2nd place in my age group (our school was the only secondary group that entered!) and guess what I won...
Yep, a camera!
It's a 14 megapixel Olympus camera.

Here's the poem that I wrote:

Berlin Day 7

Friday:
That day we went to the Olympic stadium of Games of the XI Olympiad held in Berlin. The architecture was amazing for something built around 1936. There were little write-ups posted everywhere on the history of it dealing with the wars, Hitler and so-forth. After that we went to the site of Checkpoint Charlie and saw a line (which runs through the whole of Berlin) signifying where the Berlin wall once stood. I had a crêpe and ate some more brats. Oh, and more ice cream, YAY! We went into a GIGANTIC chocolate store with replicas of Berlin monuments made of chocolate. I can’t believe we went all the way there to buy Trinidadian and Tobagonian chocolate. We ate at a cosy, Italian, family restaurant with nice people.

Pastels with some POP!

Top: Random house brand (similar)
Shorts: J.Crew
Cardigan: New York and Company (similar)
Ballet Flats: Lands' End (similar)
Earrings: Claire's (similar)
Handbag: Lily Bloom (same style, different print)

Mum loved this top while I was a little iffy on it. It was 10€ so we bought it. I thought it look a bit like a pyjama top, but when I got home, I realized the blue in the top and my cardigan were the same. I just had to add the shorts and it was perfect! Some may find it a bit too much, but I will wear my Lily Bloom purse with just about anything! The leopard print is fairly subdued, so I think I can get away with it. It's so colourful it can match with almost anything! I love how the earrings and the shoes match perfectly.

P.S Forever 21 and Claire's have some really nice costume jewelry for reasonable prices

Berlin Clothing haul

I didn't get much stuff when I went to Berlin, but I got a couple of things so I thought I'd show you. 

Berlin Day 6

Warning, on Thursday we went to a concentration camp.

On trend: sequins

Now onto some good sequins...

Clockwise from top left:
Skirt: I have mixed feelings about this skirt, on one hand, I love how sparkly it is, on the other hand, is it too sparkly? Tell me what you thing about it in the comments!
Dress: Embellished collars seem to be the trend these days, and I have to admit, I like it. J.Crew does it perfectly!
Skirt: Some how, I hate the dress, but love the skirt. What about you?
Top: J.Crew has mastered sequins! For all you temperate dwellers, this sequined top is perfect for sparkling up winter!

 

 

 Of course, needless to say, sequin ballet flats belong in the good! Love them!

Sorry about the end. blogger is giving trouble

Surprise! New post today! Yay! (and a post tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday!)

Trending now seems to be sequins, no matter what your style.
There's a good way to do it, and a bad!
