I always look awful when someone else takes my photo, which is one of the reasons i hate having my photo taken- i don't trust anyone with a camera.
Which sometimes is a little frustrating, I always true to make sure that i take flattering photos of friends and family, it only takes a extra minute (i can't stand those point ad shot photographers).... Anyway...
After the horrible passport photo ordeal, i came home and started on the pile of paperwork i need to fill out (Oh did i mention we are moving to New Zealand for 12mnths?.... i'm a little excited and its all i have been talking about since i found out).
Anyway started the paperwork, but then got a little distracted and decided to attempt a d.i.y necklace .
I had seen a pearl, lace and flower necklace at diva or equip ... or one of those stores, i thought it was cute, but not for $39. So i decided to give it a go myself.
The string of faux pearls cost $3 (at cheap shop, i just tied the ends into a loop and ta-dar necklace.)
The lace was a scrap i had in the bottom of my sewing box cost would have been about .20c
Faux Flower was $10 from Dotti i brought last year (i used this simply because i had it on hand,but you can pick up faux flowers at spotlight for a few dollars). So Mine cost $13.20 , but could easily be made for 5-6$
The Results
i'm pretty happy with the results , it dressed up todays boring outfit :) (jeans and hoodie)
also while i was playing around i made these little hair clips cost all up $2

im loving your flower brooch! dw i take awful pictures as well *sigh* i'd appreciate being even SLIGHTLY photogenic
Moving overseas is always exciting. New Zealand though? Lol. I'm a big city girl, and I spent 1 day in Aukland and I think I saw it all pretty much. It's a very beautiful city, just not crowded or big enough for me. I wish I got to explore more of the country, but it was only a stop over. I dunno, Karen Walker lives over there and loves it so there must be something cool, and I'm sure living there you will get to discover everything about it. Have fun!
Thanks for the Comments :)
hayley - you'll be happy to know that after the 12mnths in NZ, we are off to tokyo for our honeymoon (just got to keep saving). I have always wanted to go to NZ - it just looks so... "green"
Gorgeous necklace, such a neat idea!! Are you looking forward to moving NZ?
I really like your blog, it's very cool & addictive
I love what I've seen on your blog so far! Your profile pic is awesome too, I'd kill for a pair of glasses like that. Until I find them, I'll stick to my contacts.
That necklace is fantastic! I would have never thought to pair those together, but you are rocking that something fierce!
