The Pilot.

Good Evening Sydney Siders, your curiosity has lead you to the right place. Welcome to my first blog entry for 'Oh So Suave'. My name is Anita Li, i'm 21 years old residing in South Sydney, and I have a serious case of fashion fever. Follow me and I shall share with you my OOTD's, fashion & beauty finds, DIY's, favourites of the month, and.. suspicious pictures of my Cat (Yes I am a crazy cat lady. I cannot deny it).

As it is my last year studying at Macquarie University "trying" to attain a Marketing Degree, I hope to blog as much as I can sharing everyday thoughts, finds, and looks with you. Fashion is my calling, so  I have plans to open an online shop early next year where people like you can shop in my 'virtual online closet' . But until then, stay tuned and welcome to my WALK IN <3

This is my bedroom where most of the magic will happen. As you can see, my style is classy, feminine, and chic. Though I am trying to verge into being a composed young lady, I will admit I live in a fairytale surrounded by Disney Princesses. Everywhere. Don't Judge >=]

 I have a HUGE obsession with blouses, stripes, neutral colours, and houndstooth print. My Shoe collection is growing at a rate of 2 pairs per week on average. I can't help it. Shoe Addict, and not to mention I'm only 151cm... Yes Yes I'm Tiny. These aren't all the shoes you will be seeing, as I ran out of closet space. Expect to see outfits ranging from: what I wear to uni, what I wear to work, OOTD, costume parties, and random outfit combinations for formal, party,  and professional events. What can I say, I play dress-ups a lot (Shhhhh!).

This here, be my beauty station! I like to organise all my brushes in different jars for different brush lengths. I used to store all my make up in a plastic 4 drawer system ($15 from Officeworks or Kmart), but decided to change as it was too bulky, dusty and in the way. I invested in this Vanity which I got from ikea for $199AUD and it has seriously changed my life. Everything is neater!

 A sneak peak inside! Here I have organised my make up in sections: face, eye make up, lippy, blushes, palettes, eyelashes and nail polishes (looks small, but it fits quite a lot in there). The teal coloured cardboard boxes came in a flat pack of 7 where you have to build it yourself. These boxes were also purchased from ikea for the price of $1.99AUD (Saaah Cheap!) -  there are also different colours available!

Closer look inside the Vanity Drawer - left side

Vanity Drawer - right side. Theres more drawer space inside, but when I was building it I didn't realise the actual slide out drawer sat so far away from the edge of the table, hence wasting precious drawer space. Ill fix it. One day.

Small make up magnify mirror with lamp $40AUD from The Good Guys. Cheap pretty transparent glassware to hold my brushes are about $2.50-$8.00AUD from the dollar shop. Glass jar to hold my cotton pads for brush spot cleaning and removing makeup - $10AUD ikea.

Lastly, my jewellery haven. I like to find vintage items, glassware and old bottles to display my jewellery as it gives my room a more classy & vintage theme as well as acting as a jewellery holder. These random items were found at Salvos & Vinnies stores all under $10AUD. Its a fun and practical way to display your bling bling @ such a low cost!


Well thats it for todays first blog entry. You have now seen where I spend most my time, pride and joy getting ready. If there are any items you see where I fail to mention the price and place of purchase, feel free to comment below and ask ask ask!
