Free American Apparel Lipgloss

So I've been planning a trip to the city with my friends since Wednesday-ish and we've been figuring out on what we would do.
On Wednesday afternoon, I was delighted to see this on my Facebook news feed from the American Apparel Australia Facebook page.

Yes, in selected stores around the world, American Apparel is giving away free lip gloss (normally priced at AUD$15).
I suggest you find a store near you first, then proceed to ask them if they're included in the offer.
The offer is valid until the 24th of October, but isn't valid in Brazil, Japan, China, Israel and Korea.
According to the American Apparel Australia Facebook page, it's valid in all five Australian stores.

So I went today, excited for three days that finally I'll be going to American Apparel, even though I'd be getting nothing because everything's a tad bit expensive for a student like me.
My friends and I roamed around the store looking for things to buy but obviously we found nothing.
Anywho, we gave up and I went up to the counter half shy that we were going to claim our free lip gloss and walk out.
We were a group of seven, asking for lip gloss.
After a bit of talking, we finally claimed our lip glosses and quickly rushed out to put it on.

I ended up getting Legalize LA, and I am so pleased with the colour.
I'd give you a fully-fledged review, but I need to do my legal studies homework.
All I can give you now is a photo of my beautiful, and new favourite, lip gloss.

I think I will cry if it finishes, because it's that good.
(I have a feeling I probably won't use it for the next two weeks because I'm scared of finishing it)
My mum ended up getting a lip gloss too, called Pantytime. 

I'll soon write a post about what I bought today in the city, or a post about what I did, which will probably include this.
Either way, a new post up should be up in the next week, I promise.

Halfway through Spring/Hello You

So it's around the beginning of October, and it's a day before school starts.
According to my school, we're going to be in year eleven, which means that I have to work hard and blah blah blah.
I'm a great, enthusiastic student. 

Anyway, in Australia, Spring is getting a bit bipolar - some days it's hot, then it's cold, then it's perfect weather.
I'm a person that plays it safe and takes a cardigan out all the time.


So here are a few of my picks for the remainder of Spring -

Cotton On. You can button this up to use as a shirt or unbutton it to use it as a jacket/overshirt, over a plain v-neck or tank top.

Cotton On. Over anything and everything.

Cotton On. Great for all year around. If it's cold, a blazer or cardigan and stockings. If it's warm, a thin cardigan.

 

Cotton On. A plain, neutral-coloured tank top, button up or round-necked shirt is the best to go with this. You can wear this with any of the things listed with the dress.

Cotton On. You seem to see everyone wearing these, but then again, it doesn't matter how many people are wearing it, it's how they're wearing it. A pair of skinny jeans, a white v-neck, a black cardigan and these would be a quite cute casual look to go for.

Dotti. The colour is nice and light and can be paired with anything to make anything look formal/semi-formal.

Dangerfield. I have stockings like these and literally wear them with every dress I own. Perfect for all year round, thus perfect for bipolar the Australian Spring.

Dangerfield. I've always wanted to get a dress like this. It is so damn cute. Casual, formal. You pick the occasion. This dress is bliss.

American Apparel. I really like this tote. I like nearly all of the totes that American Apparel has, especially the Cities tote. But since I'm broke and I'm in love with tote bags, this one is the one I'd be going for. I am just crossing my fingers that this one will go on sale in stores in the future! Perfect for carrying around cardigans, wallets and sunglasses when off to the shopping centre or to the beach.


All of my picks are in the "safer colours" with your blacks, whites and nudes, but accessorising with bright colours will do the trick.
I'm one to be quite safe anyway. 

So that's my first post.
I think I feel a Topshop wishlist post coming on.
I'm not sure, we'll see.
Ah! I'm so excited about this blog.

Hopefully, you'll stick around!
