Having dreamed about rocking grey locks for so long I finally took the dive and got my super talented friend <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Katherine-Book-Freelance-Hair-Stylist/337417893008731?ref=br_rs" target="_blank">Kat</a> to make it happen! I love it sooo much, I think I'll keep it forever. And you know how EVERYTHING goes with grey - all of sudden I can wear anything from my closet and it looks good, even my "home clothes" haha!Specimen #14http://www.blogger.com/profile/02550923654540214422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042805682739917871.post-89881764702737233062013-10-27T19:39:00.004+13:002013-10-27T19:42:11.605+13:00CACAO NUT BALLS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For a while now I've been wanting to give the raw diet thing a go. All the recipes look so damn delicious and I really want to improve my eating habits. Since everywhere I turn, I keep seeing pictures of Power Balls / Bliss Balls / Cacao Balls / whatever else you call them balls, I decided this would be my first attempt. They look amazing and sound even yummier than the unhealthy chocolate truffle sweet tooth kind. I read a whole bunch of recipes first and it sounded like pretty much anything goes, so I went to the store and came back with a whole bunch of stuff. Here's what my recipe included:<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>Mixed raw nuts (Almonds, Cashews, Pistachios, Walnuts)</li>
<li>Seeds (Sunflower seeds, Chia seeds, Ground linseed (flaxseed))</li>
<li>Desiccated coconut</li>
<li>Pitted whole dates</li>
<li>Cacao powder</li>
<li>Ground Cinamon</li>
<li>Coconut oil</li>
<li>100% Nautral maple syrup</li>
<li>Pure vanilla extract</li>
</ul>
<div>
I just put all the dry ingredients (except coconut and chia) in the blender first, and then putting that aside I put the dates and some water through the blender, soaked the chia seeds in water for a few minutes, then with my hands I mixed everything all together, then rolled the balls over the coconut, and refrigerated for an hour before eating. It only took like 10 minutes! I thought these would be really expensive to make but actually when you buy the nuts/seeds from one of those fill-the-bag-yourself sections, it's really quite cheap. I spent just under $8 for all of mine and made about 20 balls. </div>

I've been spending hours upon hours browsing through etsy, pinterest, trademe, and society 6 for house furnishings. It's not like I can even afford to buy anything so actually it's completely pointless, but for some reason I just cant stop. I'm really digging the plants on the wall look, a simple colour palette, and as per usual my love for slightly creepy artwork and sculptures. </div>

<br />
So I finally did it! Over the weekend I launched an <a href="https://loseryear.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">online store</a> for some jewelry I've been hand-making and wearing for a whole year now. I always seem to start projects and then get distracted by a new idea so I'm excited that I finally did it! And now that it's up, I'm feeling more motivated to spend my spare time creating new pieces. I've even secured a spot at the La Gonda Market coming up in a month's time which is something I'm really looking forward to doing.<br />
<br />
If you've got a good eye, you might have noticed that I've been wearing my pieces in a few of my past outfit posts. Check out my <a href="https://loseryear.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">online store</a> and "like" Loser Year <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LoserYear" target="_blank">on facebook</a> to keep up with new designs as I make them!<br />

To help motivate me, I turned to my 1,246 post deep bloglovin feed for some good ol' style inspiration, and here is what I found - <a href="http://www.lazyoaf.com/lookbook.php" target="_blank">Lazy Oaf</a> never fails to get me in the mood!<br />

I officially have an energy drink addiction. I usually drink an energy drink, or a least a strong coffee, every week day but on the weekends when I don't, I get massively intense migrains that only go away if have a red bull. It's so annoying because by the time I have the migrain its painful enough that I cant be bothered going anywhere to buy a can and so then I end up not doing anything productive all day and so that's why I haven't blogged for a couple of weeks!Specimen #14http://www.blogger.com/profile/02550923654540214422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042805682739917871.post-71748007132830306442013-08-08T22:00:00.000+12:002013-08-08T22:07:07.212+12:00DIABOLUS IN MUSICA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hPrGX0w68hk/UfzdJrMLrAI/AAAAAAAABV0/oYOyB_bwzrA/s1600/lookbook-specimen14-august-7-2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hPrGX0w68hk/UfzdJrMLrAI/AAAAAAAABV0/oYOyB_bwzrA/s1600/lookbook-specimen14-august-7-2013.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The past week has been insanely intense - busy as workload and to make it a million times harder I caught a nasty cold which also meant that I couldn't go to the REMIX Magazine party. Damn, I've always wanted to go to a thing that gives you a goodie bag! lol. Luckily I got over it in time for <a href="http://www.stolengirlfriendsclub.com/" target="_blank">Stolen Girlfriends Club's </a>sample sale which only happens twice a year!! These pants I'm wearing here are amazing, the construction and fit on them is perfection, the only is thing is when I went to take them off after taking these photo's, the vinyl part teared where it's stitched on so I only got like 30minutes out of them! I'm hoping they'll replace them or fix them or something but since it was a sample sale, even though it's not a sample piece - it's from their previous collection, maybe they won't care. If that's the case I'm going to be soooooo sad!

</b> Yikes, I don't know how I feel about this outfit. I look like a respectable daughter in law on the cusp of marrying and starting a family, waiting for the scones to finish baking to eat with the in-laws. Ew. I was 'experimenting'. Usually I pair the knit and these jeans with black ankle boots and black accessories to give it some edge. Both are super comfortable by the way. And I love how these jeans are soft and high waisted which means they can double as 'eating' pants yet look great at the same time.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I've been slow at blogging lately because I have a bunch of outfits in mind that I feel are missing a final touch so waiting to source those! In other news, I made a cat tree this week and I went to a zine festival yesterday which was pretty cool. Definitely inspired to make something of my own but feel that it's something I'll never ever get around to doing.<br />

TARTAN "KNOCKOUT PANTS", <b><a href="http://www.huffer.co.nz/" target="_blank">HUFFER</a></b><br />
<br />
So this is a typical "work" outfit for me. Lately I've been dressing less grungy to work since I'm trying to make a good impression to gain more responsibility. How 'mature' of me! I looove these tartan pants by NZ brand, Huffer. I think they're supposed to be slightly cropped but because I'm short they fit me perfectly, no more bunched up leg bottoms woop! They have little brass zips on the sides at the bottom of each leg which makes them look super smart and the quality of this material is really awesome, these babies are going to last!<br />
<br />
Right now I'm in Sydney to meet some clients and take over a new content management system. I had to wake up at 4am to catch the plane and it's now 11.30pm - sooo knackered, so that's it from me today!Specimen #14http://www.blogger.com/profile/02550923654540214422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042805682739917871.post-33441492567942651922013-07-13T18:48:00.000+12:002013-08-03T19:46:36.313+12:00SOUL STEALER<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So I've been thinking about blogs and I've realized that I feel disappointed when bloggers only write about what they're wearing or fashion related topics. What I personally want to know is who they are, what they do for a living, their hobbies and interests (other than blogging), and just general happenings in their life. So that's what I'm going to do from now :)<br />
<br />
The low down: I live in Auckland, New Zealand, and spend my week days at an agency working as a digital content manager which involves developing and maintaining the front end of websites for a bunch of clients across Australasia. I refuse to divulge my age - it's an issue that I'm currently trying to learn to cope with. I'm half Thai and half NZ European. Obsessed with cats. Ridiculously indecisive. Spend ALL my free time on the internet collecting inspiration for the <u>many</u> creative "projects" I want to take on, which I'll write about sometimes here. So yeah, I guess that's enough about me for today!Specimen #14http://www.blogger.com/profile/02550923654540214422noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042805682739917871.post-77844114757093419492013-07-09T00:25:00.001+12:002013-07-09T00:33:01.042+12:00MURMURS OF THE DAWN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gYY6HkW7TuU/Udqp3nrwuqI/AAAAAAAABK4/pdk10QnwROk/s1600/specimen14-july-08-2013-002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gYY6HkW7TuU/Udqp3nrwuqI/AAAAAAAABK4/pdk10QnwROk/s1600/specimen14-july-08-2013-002.jpg" /></a></div><br />

This utility jacket by UK brand <a href="http://www.religionclothing.co.uk/" target="_blank">Religion</a> is one of my all time favourite purchases. It looks like it's been left in a puddle on this gravel driveway and then hung out to dry for 2 months resulting in some seriously perfect wear and fade. It's light enough that I can wear it comfortably indoors, and has a bunch of pockets so I don't have to use a handbag - score! Once again, I forgot to take photos of the back, but I wear it all the time so I'll do another look with it soon. The back is pretty damn awesome too, it has this mental asylum aesthetic going on. Just wait and see! Also, I love the Australian brand <a href="http://eviltwinthelabel.com/" target="_blank">Evil Twin</a>. This knit jumper is soooo soft. I wish I had more of their stuff, sigh. At the moment I'm dying over their latest collection <a href="http://eviltwinthelabel.com/au/collections/no-guts-no-glory" target="_blank">"No Guts No Glory"</a>. I reeeeeeally want the <a href="http://eviltwinthelabel.com/au/collections/items/519d47a2ea3ae47069000002" target="_blank">Under Attack Anorak</a> and the <a href="http://eviltwinthelabel.com/au/collections/items/519d420dea3ae46b0b000001" target="_blank">Freeer Burn Shorts</a> but I'm on this shopping ban because I was getting out of control.

Usually I'd pair this dead beats shirt with some dark skinny jeans or my spike leggings but I felt like stepping outside of my 'comfort zone'. I got these white mesh tights in late '09 at a Madame Hawke (brand doesn't exist anymore) sample sale but have never worn them before. I really love them but haven't really known what to wear them with. But looking at these shots, I think all that's missing is some baggy denim shorts!Specimen #14http://www.blogger.com/profile/02550923654540214422noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042805682739917871.post-23081719291235545052013-07-02T23:28:00.003+12:002013-07-07T11:53:13.325+12:00TO THE DREGS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These plaid overalls by <a href="http://www.hufferstore.com/">Huffer</a> are freaking awesome. I feel like I didn't do them justice, especially since I forgot to get photos of the back - d'oh! The colour way of these is beyond perfect - rich olive green, deep forest green, navy and a touch of deep red. I couldn't help but get the matching trousers too haha. I'll be shooting them soon :) I'm loving Huffer this season, their Fall/Winter collection is so cool and I really like their New Zealand wilderness theme <a href="http://hypebeast.com/2013/5/huffer-2013-fall-winter-uphill-battles-lookbook?_locale=en">lookbook</a> too. I just wish their outerwear wasn't so expensive, I'd be all over those jackets if I could!</div>

The kimono thing is something I made all by myself, no pattern and no sewing knowledge whatsoever! The fabric was already tie dyed and one day (added to my very very very long to-do-one-day list) I'd like to try replicate this acid looking tie dye effect with other colours like acid green or light blue, and make more kimonos but maybe ankle length.<br />
<br />
The lamest thing about living in New Zealand is that our seasons are opposite to pretty much the rest of the world. I've started this new strategy of buying my summer clothes now, even though its the middle of winter over here. Otherwise everything I like sells out by the time I'm ready for it. I almost missed out on these Motor City shorts by UNIF, I had to scour the internet for hoooours until I found an online store that had one left in my size. They are AHHHHMAZING. and the quality is soooo good. I can not wait another 4months until summer to wear thesm so I did the tights underneath thing. I don't really like wearing super short shorts with tights though - I dunno, it always makes me feel like a prossy. But when I see others wear that combo I don't think they look like prostitutes, weird. Can't wait for summer!Specimen #14http://www.blogger.com/profile/02550923654540214422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042805682739917871.post-9150039890715771072013-06-23T22:27:00.000+12:002013-06-23T22:51:25.668+12:00LOSER YEAR<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Holy damn, this is the palest I've ever been in my whole life. I worked all summer so my skin didn't get to build a tan and now that it's winter over here I'm vanishing! I really love this fuzzy sweater it feels sooo nice against my skin and how perfect is this kilt?! I found it via <a href="http://thelmanblogi.blogspot.fi/2013/03/tartan-skirt-red-docs.html" target="_blank">Thelma Romu</a>.

This is a new "work appropriate" outfit I conjured up the other day. I love how blazers can make a vintage tee suddenly ok for work. I added the grey collared shirt underneath because the tee wasn't long enough to pass my crotch area and maybe it's just me but I feel really naked when that happens haha. But I love how well it goes together! </div>Specimen #14http://www.blogger.com/profile/02550923654540214422noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042805682739917871.post-32848981198381892152013-06-09T20:21:00.002+12:002013-07-07T11:54:28.694+12:00SPECIMEN: DANAUS PLEXIPPUS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This velvet cropped top is my absolute best thrift find ever! The butterflies and botanical prints remind me of those scientific drawings you see in museums. I've been searching for the longest time to find an old book of those drawings and stick them up all over my walls. As I'm writing this I'm realizing I could probably just find some online but it wouldn't be the same - it's the 'finding' part of thrifting that makes things special :)</span></div>
