| suggestion, please |
| 2008-09-01 12:09:37 |
A quick one, please dream up/think up/offer the best solution of shoes to match this dress I’ve seen myself in twice. The first time being in the changing room. Photos taken eons ago, way more than one-odd years ago, after I was badly sunburnt.
It’s an ultra-ruffled shirt dress from Marciano, with tons of zips. Zips [...]...

I love this turquoise dress with the most delightful prints ever. The ruffle front feels mermaid-ish, and I thought it’d be an awesome pairing with my new hairband. You know you’ve really gone the frugal path when you walk into Accessorize and only buy the stuff on sales, rather than walk out having spent at [...]...

Most who know me also know that my love for chocolate is more than a little inhuman. In fact, this guy suspects that I might be Aztec in a past life, and he, Mayan, since we both love chocolate with a vengeance. As in, highly potent, concentrated chocolate. In huge dosages. The sort that send [...]...

Karma is playing with me. I used to detest this pair of pants and its matching top that my mom bought when I was still in the midst of losing my deciduous teeth. Earlier this year, I wore the top. Then yesterday, I pulled out the pants. Since I’m the In-House Midget, it is obviously [...]...

Today I kept bumping into so many different people over in school. Today, too, I was scheduled to meet my bestest buddies from secondary school, to catch up over a quick dinner. . WendyB’s Golden Girls posts always seem to scream out at me, “WEAR YOUR GOLD STUFF NOW!” Anyway, after a three-hour sleep (how [...]...

For the first time in a very long time will this entry only feature an outfit. Some quick snaps of today. The mood? Androgynous. The props? Men’s singlet, grey drainpipes and studded boots. Liquid eyeliner always makes me look unreal.
The rain fell insanely again today. By the time I walked home in the afternoon for [...]...

I rejoiced when it rained because when it’s stuffy, you can get really itchy. And you know the deal with vicarious itching– you see someone scratching and then you feel itchy too. I’d always been idiotic enough to collect tights and stockings and a whole throng of winter/fall jackets even though it’s always summer here. [...]...

For the last three outfits have I been recycling my bottoms. That’s the handy thing about bottom separates. You can wear them in a gazillion different ways, kinda like loose slouchy tops. Cold turkey is when you can afford stuff and when you’re surrounded by so much stuff, yet you cannot buy them because you’re [...]...

I have come to the frightening conclusion that if I don’t update now, the next entry will explode with photos. As it is, this one already has. So I was congratulating myself upon successfully leading a relatively frugal new life, with a savings plan outlined given how I really must save properly in order to [...]...

Whilst I sort out my photos of The Land of Oz, I’ll upload them in batches. Like cookies.
Didn’t take all my outfit shots over the past few days, *hopefully* my friends will be kind enough to send them to me, but it’s better to err on the side of not being too hopeful.
This outfit was [...]...

The sun shines even brighter than ever, after two weeks of chattering teeth and not perspiring, I’ve become unaccustomed to the weather here, bemoaning the buckets full of sweat and the insane sun. The perfect panacea is rising hemlines. School started today.
Sunday was hot. So I wore my high-waisted denim skirt. I buy every price [...]...

It’s another Zebra Day. Bleary eyed in the morning, I tumbled out of bed and got changed. One of my research mates said she managed to get the car. Another would be late, so we zipped off for a breakfast of banana prata and teh-cinno.
Nanu decided she’d lie down and laze around. .
And I, too, [...]...

Finally I’m done with packing. All I need is to dump in some last minute stuff tomorrow, like contact lens case and eyeglasses. Wheewy. A tad freaked out at the amount of stuff to be brought to battle the winter cold, I thought, shit, I’ll die if I exceed baggage limit. This time I’m only [...]...

It’s headache buying a pair of flats. At least to me, since I live in high heels all the time, unless I’m barefooted.
So I dedicated one hour on Monday to hunt for a pair of flats. It’s quite an arduous task, worse than mastering a piece by Chopin, because. . I probably need Flats [...]...

The past two days I’ve been scuttling and running around. Today, though, I finally have about two hours to spare. Back from the derm’s, hopefully he’ll kill all my acne and then I can save some money.
The earlier part of yesterday was spent buying essentials for my trip. Like power adaptors, travel-sized contact lens solution [...]...

The week’s ended. I hope I survive this week. Gonna be one hell of an insane marathon, before I fly off, since I have received a few work assignments. To top it off, I think I’m gonna be dead next semester given the non-school workload, brain research, graduation project and all. God bless my soul. [...]...

A few weeks back I did a few shots of stuff I was *supposed* to sell, but my local Yahoo Auctions is down, and Ebay’s a bitch in more than one way. It’s way easier to be a buyer than a seller, in any circumstance. Anyhows, I dragged the yellow-and-white pinstripped shorts out. Wore [...]...

Sometimes I take a break from buying accessories a.k.a. costume jewelry by the truckload, you know those types that I pile on as though there are no tomorrows in question. And then I start to look at those lovingly encrusted with stones and precious metals.
So I stumbled upon My Jewelry Box.Com, offering an entire plethora [...]...

| 2008-07-11 04:07:36 |
Yay. I’m faking things. . again. So being The In-House Midget means that skirts that flatter The Mother look frumpily long(er) on me. Like I like to joke, ‘exquisitely dumpy’. I like the floral prints on this skirt– even if I hated it a good many years ago, I swear my hatred of florals, polka [...]...

I woke up this morning with a fever. Popped some pills and fell asleep. But I had stuff to see to later, and thankfully the fever wore down, I was up and about by 2.
Threw on my PJ top– yup, it’s really PJs– and then I decided not to sell this old pair of cutoffs [...]...

On my birthday I finally decided I needed proper hair, since the Bedhead look no longer works when your hair’s grown oh-too-thick. But I swear researching on the best salons to style your hair in is an utter bitch, because there’s always gonna be really bad complaints everywhere. The last time I permed my hair [...]...

Keeping track of photos in-itself is a bitch– they’re all jumbled up in my iPhoto. This was Saturday’s
I nearly died of shock when I walked past the fan and the entire dress blew upwards like an umbrella gone wrong in a wind too strong. Frantic, I grabbed stockings and a belt.
And just in case my [...]...

The last time I faked a dress, it was completely unintentional. All I did was throw on a racerback, wear a skirt high-waisted, and strapped on a belt. After I unintentionally put this together, I got, “Hey nice catsuit”.
I love the swishy feel of gaucho pants. AND if only my hair could look this little [...]...

So I was off a little while to watch my age change to one of symmetry. 22.
It’s pretty fun to count my age every year. 07 + 07 + 08= 22. The last one, being the year. That way, even if I’m amnesic or suffer from dementia, I’ll never forget my age. Lol. Talk about [...]...

My irrational love for furnishings and fittings might be the only remotely domestic streaks in me. I love copper alot. It’s got an ol’-skool sheen and delivers a rustic charm. Probably the stepsister to gold and silver, but I am the girl who loves kitsch as much as she loves her Cartier, Pomellato and van [...]...

Whilst clearing my shoes the other day, I realized I got stuck in a peep-toe rut. Well, I didn’t have the good fortune to inherit my mom’s toes which are placed close to one another so mine don’t look all-that-fantastic in non peep-toes. But when I started my shoe collection (to wear, duh) at 17, [...]...

The better part of Monday afternoon and the late morning was spent at the reserve and reservoir area doing some monkey research.

Long gone are [...]...

| 2008-06-29 10:46:53 |
Chaos theory states that small complex perturbations in one part of a complex system can lead to large changes. Chaos theory, too, attempts to find rational explanations for phenomena that cannot be predicted and/or modeled. I wonder if chaos theory might state that I’m going a little bonkers.
Nah, apart from my eternal insanity– which isn’t [...]...
