ola!

Right now I am just so hungover from 'Hansel and Gretel'. It's not a very grown up behaviour, but damn I wanna fight witches! The film was good. I mean it was just too fine to find any foul. The plot smoothly ran, the fighting was obvious but good enough (not a foul) and even though it wasn't extraordinary it got you hooked and entertained. It was either so 'sweet' and creative of director Tommy Wirkola to come up with a after-they-grow-up story, or was just so low with ideas that he decided to do 'something' with characters already existing, but either way he did a good thing because there never were a dull moment. I totally give him the full five. But the two very best thing for me was of course Jeremy Renner (He is just so....really out of the perfect adjective to describe him!) and the witches's make up! I didn't find it scary (I will not remember it when it's dark and I am alone...even though it's not scary) I felt it was an ultimatum halloween make-up, or rather it was just intense goth look minus the crack linings on the face. I guess all the make-up gurus out there in youtube will be doing a bit of this near November!
Anyways last month was great. I came up with two solid resolutions and guess what I haven't done none of it!! I have been sketching instead. It's my early days therefore it shall be only shared here when my sketch book is done and dusted. For now I am signing off without any pictures.
P.S. who else is excited for second series of Trendsetters (Nepal)?!

bye bye 2012

Happy New Year!! can't believe it's 2013 already!! I will chersih 2012 because it was the year I finally made a blog, but there is a thick amount of dissatisfaction because I didn't blog often as I should have. So, my new year's resolution is to blog, a lot! (amongst many other things which ya'll will obviously won't be interested in). Honestly I was quites nervous on what to blog about but this year I have decided to blog about absolutely everything that happens with me. You know sometimes when you think about a idea and you plan to show it off, but then someone does the idea, that'shappened a lot with me, therefore the prior planning.Anyways, no pictures only words and only wishes for ya'll! ;)

The pill and the bill

You know when you are guilty of something with someone and when you have to face that person and you're all awkward and anxious, well, that's how I feel right now! I just felt like I had nothing good enough to blog so I distanced my fingers from the keyboard (not a clever thing!)

Anyways December is here already! I bet one of the most talked about topic is surrounded around 'if the world ends or not'  I know it because I have been talking about this and ironically it has been the topic of conversation starter. Watching the documentries really creeps me out but I guess I still have that little thing called 'Hope'. It may and it may not but lets not get depressed over this yeah!

Moving on, the olsen twins and British artist Damein Hirst has teamed up to create crocodile skinned backpacks under the trendy twins's brand 'The Row'. There are altogether twelve styles. At my first glance I took it as a just another 'polka dot' designed bags but apparently those are multi-coloured pills! These bags are to cost whopping 21,800 pounds! But fret not it has been said that the money is for UNICEF charities. As long as it's for a good cause eh!. I am excited about this because I have been looking for a decent backpack and I am equally well, more intensely sad because I will only have this bag in my dream! 

Tutoring three year olds means knowing nursery lyrics by heart so when I saw the pills and the bill, it made me think of miss Polly and her Dolly, therefore the useless title!

Filling the distance

The distance between my last post to this is unforgivingly long! Lets just say I was away for a festive reason. November in Singapore means, the same hot weather with lots of thunder and daily rain, than usual (Thor is growling as I write this!). And festive times means lots of poker games and lots of lovely fooda. I try to avoid the temptation, because my adoption of healthy food is disturbed, but somethings can't be controlled I guess!!

Noting special but I had this picture which 'educates' you on the correct way of wearning denim according to you body type, so I decided to share it. You probably have fund it in the facebook, or any fashion magazines but hey I am just filling the distance :)

Inside the golden bag!

Highlight of yesterday, when I was out and about around town for finding that 'twenty dollar fab find challenge',which will be my new regular thing every month, was an old lady commenting/complimenting me that I looked like a butterfly just because I was wearing a yellow dress, and the brand bag of the cool purchase I made yesterday shined like gold, which again grabbed the compliments of shopkeepers and people. 'what is it, what is it?' and 'nice bag' were the ubiquitous phrase and I was flattered obviously. 

The brand is 'MU-apparel' (logo written in Chinese letter), it's a kampong(local) brand local designer Alfie Leong, who also has another label set up in 2010 'A.W.O.L (All walks of life', which is said to be more better and higher end, but is still affordable. Steadily attracting the global attention, his works has also been featured in Vogue Italia. 

'MU' is an outcome behind the concept of 'east meeting west'. The tailoring is everything but mundane. It's individual, not that traditional in terms of specific way of making clothes but is practical enough. In few words it's interesting and 'cool'. 

I got myself a bag. It's original, unique and practical, and yes so me! 

the golden bag

looks good huh!

practical!

The N°5 Story

"A woman should wear a perfume wherever she wants to be kissed", no wonder Marilyn Monroe slept with nothing but 'CHANEL N°5'. yeah yeah every other blogger has already enlighten you about it, but as an honest Coco fan (both as a designer and as a lady) and N°5 fan I had to post this. 

In brief, a site Inside Chanel, has been launched which, tells us the story of Mademoiselle's most legendary perfume. The site also has a section which 'educates' the viewers on the important Coco Chanel moments. The trailer is so incredibly engaging that I could literally feel my excitement mounting. With the trailer, was also revealed the first (man) face of the perfume, Brad Pitt, which will also be out there shortly (intrigued!) 

Fond of red!

Everything/everyone has a rhythm. Some are ageless and rock on forever, while some fade away. I must admit that the rhythm of red lipstick strongly lies on the first description. And I must also admit that albeit it's my ultimate make-up accessory I loathed it during my first try, that was when I was about thirteen (Don't want to remember it!!). I thought I looked like a call girl and for me red lipstick associated with dealings of body pleasures in exchange of money! I blame my then-uncultivated make up skills.
How do I even begin to describe the wonder of red lipstick. It's an instant wear that adds sophistication, sexiness and confidence to anyone who wears it!.That's my honest testimony. Also the reason behind the posting of old adverts is, I just feel nostalgic! I do love the sleek and shiny adverts of today but vintage is just my kind!

that's how you wear 'em ;)
