cheap tuesday


I'm going to split this post in to two parts.

The first is just an outfit of the day and a summary of what I got up to and the second one will be some of the bargains I have bought recently.


Today I am wearing a very inexpensive outfit.
dress; Valleygirl - $10.75(I love 30% off storewide!)
bracelets; Diva - $5
ring; Diva - $5
The other ring I am wearing was certainly not cheap but I wear it every day as it's my favourite piece of jewellery and a gift from my lovely boyfriend.

Today I went for coffee with two friends from high school which was really nice.
It feels so weird to catch up with people I haven't seen in awhile.
My friends from high school have all gone off in different directions and I don't really talk to any of them anymore, which is okay.
I'm trying to start my life as an adult and I feel that a lot of my old high school friends haven't really grown up yet. Not that I have anything against people having fun and going out and getting drunk, I just feel like a lot of them are still in the 'I'm 16' mindframe whereas I'm in the 'holycrap I'm almost 21' mind frame.
I am trying to make a life for myself and it's just so strange to hear and see so many people that are still in the exact same place(if not backwards) as graduation.
I don't really know where I'm going with this, just putting my thoughts out there.

Are you guys still close with your high school friends or do you have a new circle?

extensions! &ootd

Well I got my hair done today. It was so fun. Not at all painful, and I can barely even feel them in my hair. I love them! I was pretty scared they'd look super fake but they match my hair colour perfectly and I personally don't think they look too fake. Here are the before and after pictures I promised =)
Please excuse my half whited out face. My eyebrows are currently a disgrace. And this photo is just generally unflattering. This is how long my natural hair is. It looks awful in this picture because I was told not to bother washing or straightening it.
And this is my after shot. The hairdressers didn't bother cutting the extensions because they blended in so well and most of my layers had grown out. Because the hairdressers there were all learning how to apply these, I had a fair few different people doing my hair(I felt very special). And because everyone was learning from the HairTalk rep it took longer than usual. It took under 3 hours. I left the house at 3pm and was home a bit before 6pm. That's including washing, blow drying, teaching, applying and straightening. Usually they only take around 45 minutes - 1 hour. I am seriously in love with my hair now! I just have to get used to having long hair now. My boyfriends hair is still longer than mine if you can believe it!
This is definitely not my best photographic work! haha or maybe it is? I'm not very good. But this is what I wore today.
top - Cotton On $10
vest - op shop $2
jean leggings - eBay $15 for 2 pairs
boots - Kmart $20
cheap outfit =D

What do you guys think of my hair? My mum thinks it's too long. She has always said my face is too small for long hair haha
