How epic is this bright pink wall with blue and yellow accents we found to shoot in front of in Brunswick?

My rainbow looks so good in front of this location!

The wind was making the shoot a little difficult but we got there in the end - you can kinda see how frustrated I was in my face here lol. I hate you wind!

The cute little embroidered heart just adds that little something extra that you come to expect from Lazy Oaf.

DIY Kawaii Decoden Phone Case & Competition!!!

The other day on instagram I posted a photo from my crafternoon decoden session where I decorated my new mobile phone cover, covering it in faux whipped cream and kawaii 3D cakes and lollies. A DIY tutorial was requested on that photo so I bought an iphone5 cover from Daiso and gathered my supplies.

You will need

• Measuring jug
• Daiso Soft Clay
• Piping bag
• Piping nozzles
• Daiso woodcraft bond or PVA glue
• Mixing spoon
• Plastic container for mixing
• Phone case (hard plastic, leather and vinyl all work but latex covers won't)
• Cabochons (you can search Etsy for decoden cabochons but I bought 3D stickers, buttons and erasers from Daiso)

Daiso Soft Clay comes in a variety of colours. I bought the white and salmon pink but only used the white today.

The soft clay air dries so it comes in an air tight bag. You will only need about half the packet for one phone case so remember to re-seal the left overs to use another time.

Break up the soft clay in small pieces into your mixing bowl.

This is what half a block of clay torn up into small pieces looks like.

Using your measuring jug pour approx 25mls of cold water in to the bowl.

Mix this in - the consistency will be a little watery at this stage.

Now add a squirt and a half of the craft glue into the mixture.

Mix it all together. It should now thicken slightly and start to resemble the consistency of whipped cream.

Place the mixture into your piping bag using the whipped cream nozzle.

It should squirt out like this.

Using the piping bag squirt out little faux whipped cream puffs over the desired area on your phone case.

Keep going until the whole area is covered.

Now comes the fun part - it's time to decorate your creation.

I decided to place the largest cabochon piece in the middle.

I kept going until I was happy with the design. You can add glitter, crystal stickers or anything you want really. It's totally up to you.

Ta-da the finished decoden iphone 5 cover. You need to leave it out to air dry in a safe place for up to three days. It should be hard to touch when completely dry and ready to use.

As I don't have an iphone5 I've decided to do a giveaway to WIN this kawaii one of a kind decoden'd iphone5 cover.
The prize The iphone5 phone case lovingly decoden'd by yours truly. Plus a surprise package of kawaii bits and bobs from Tokyo just because I love you.
To enter Simply comment on this post with your favourite dessert - mine is chocolate mousse always and forever. Don't forget to leave your email, twitter or blog address so I can get in touch with you if you win.
The winner will be chosen at random using random.org.
Competition is open Internationally.
Competition closes Monday 3rd February 2014 at 5pm AEST.
Winner will be announced that evening via twitter and contacted via email.

Good luck xoxo

I Dream of a Lilac Galaxy

Its Autumn here in the Australia but Melbourne had a lovely warm weekend recently where I was able to go outside without tights on. As a socks and sandals fan I was happy to be able to wear my new lilac juju jelly heels with socks sans tights for their very first outing as it will probably the last time I'll be able to do so for a while. Matching my purple theme is my new Domino Dollhouse Galaxy Babydoll dress that I was sent to review. Domino Dollhouse is one of the few plus size brands that make truly fashion forward pieces that go beyond the norm, they make clothes for those not afraid to be seen. This dress is one I'd had my eye on for a while but I kept missing it being in stock in my size. I'm so happy to finally have it, its such an awesome statement making piece.

I now own 5 pairs of Juju jelly heels (yep I'm that obsessed), this lilac pair is from Topshop.

NADIA FLORES EN EL CORAZON

The weather finally cooled down in Sydney after a few 35 degree + days, cool enough for me to wear my new favourite piece in my wardrobe, my vintage leather biker jacket I got whilst in Melbourne. I teamed it with my new purchase from Sportsgirl, a digital print dress that I actually tried on a few weeks ago when it only came in green and decided not to buy, well that was until it came out in the pink which of course I had to have. I'm still loving my red glitter Miu Miu's from Vision Direct, I never want to take them off. Don't forget to enter my competition with Vision Direct to win a pair of designer sunglasses for yourself, entries are open internationally and close on the 23rd of January. Good luck xoxo.

Foiled Again

Tonight I was lucky enough to be invited to the opening of the new Melissa flagship store in Sydney Central Mall in Pitt Street. I've been a fan of Melissa shoes for a long, long time, buying my first pair in Tokyo many years ago. My love of all things jelly on my feet has been well documented on this here blog so I was excited to see the new store and the new collection in person. Can't say that I was disappointed  I walked away with an awesome pair of red flatforms which will be blogged soon enough. As it was the opening of a Melissa store I of course wore my fave pair of pink Melissa jelly flats which conveniently matched my new H&M x Martin Maison Margiela pink foil candy clutch that I was lucky to find on ebay for only double the retail price. I had friends stationed around the world in H&M cities trying to locate one for me when the collection dropped but it sold out so fast it looked like I was going to miss out. Of course ebay was full of them, which was disappointing as the sellers were obviously trying to cash in but then it worked out great for those of us living in countries that don't have H&M stores (yet). I love it so much!

DIY - Floral Headband

Step 1: Gather your materials: A headband with grip teeth and wire stemmed flowers of your choice. You will also need jewellery/wire cutters, the scissors pictured here didn't cut it in the end. I just popped down to my local $2 shop for all my materials. I ended up really liking two types of flowers so I bought two headbands, although so far I've only made the one.


Step 2: With your wire cutters snip the flower at a length that will leave you enough stem to wrap around the headband with the exposed wire end sitting back at the top so that it doesn't dig into your skull.


Step 3: Wrap the stem around the headband, you can adjust placement of the flowers as you go along. The teeth on the underside help fasten the flowers, they don't move on their own. The flowers themselves hide the wrapped stems so there is no need to be neat.


Step 4: Continue wrapping all the flowers until you are happy with the arrangement. I really like how pretty the pink flowers look against the silver glitter of my headband.


Voilà a beautiful DIY floral headband, perfect for spring or even for a day at the races, all for $4!

DIY Beaded Collar

I found this shirt at the Salvos opshop in Glebe last weekend. I wasn't terribly enamoured with the floral print but that amazing beaded collar caught my eye and immediately I knew what to do with it, DIY a detached collar to wear over other shirts and tops.


You can see what I mean when I say it had an amazing collar. I've never seen anything like it before with its  beaded bits and triangle cut outs, it really is rather unique. It was missing a few buttons here and there, for this photo I closed the shirt with a safety pin.


Step one in DIY'ing is to gather your materials. For this small project I just needed some scissors and a needle and thread.


Step two was to cut away the shirt from the collar. I followed the hem line around the back of the collar and left a piece where the button hole sat so the shirt would still button up. I sewed on one of the buttons from the shirt to fasten the collar. I then hand sewed the unhemmed edges to finish.


Voilà an easy unique DIY collar that took all of 5 minutes to create. Can't wait to wear it out tonight (and get pics of me wearing it asap) xoxo
