Goodbye May.

I decided that I had enough of my dark hair roots, and decided to get them fixed!
However, I haven't had much opportunities to snap any nice pictures of my hair color, sooooo
I shall replace my hair pictures with....
a random shot I took while swimming earlier!
My new twisted bandeau bikini in florescent orange and orchid purple.
I declare that orchid purple is like my new favourite purple for this season!
Yay!

Well that, and the new hair color on my head - looking mega boring here.

 ---

I sewed the bitbit bunnies a set of new outfit each, and have since decided that Honey shall officially be a boy, because Honey (ok it's a gay name for a boy, but I'm not changing names)
is duh... honey colored (tanned), and waaaaay taller than Hops.

Doesn't make sense to make 2 girl outfits, and the bunnies are in absolutely different proportions, so Honey and Hops shall be a couple.
Lol.

I attempted a photoshoot for them - realized that I have zero talent in photography...
sooo this shall suffice.

My attempt to make Honey look "Manly"
with what transpired as my version of a simple Korean style inspired outfit.
hahah...

Hop's dress details.
I was going for Sexy cute.
Alot of details uncaptured, hence the "upskirt" short to do my hardwork and details some justice!
I gave her a Tulle ribbon headband, and a ballerina "tutu" at the bottom of her skirt.
And if you actually noticed in the earlier picture, I gave Hops some front ruffles so that she'll have a "poof" in front.
ok kinda -_-" right.
But I like!
I shall also attempt to make them a casual beach outfit sometime soon!
(soon as my index finger "recovers" from all that hand stitching trauma.)

and bokeh's offically my new favourite brush!

♥ her!

photobooth session with my bitbit♥!

I took a million pictures with my bitbits, and so i'll post up a couple of pictures I yanked out from photobooth  ♥

xoxo ♥

Bitbits. My new Love

Was hanging out at Vivo the other day, when I fell in ♥!
Those korean bunnies look so adorable hanging out at the Cart stores!
As I was climbing up the escalator, I heard a lady telling her colleague to find out the price of the bunnies!
My point is, I'm not the only crazy one here..
*chins*

Look at them, so adorable sitting together!
The white one kept flirting with me!
Nonstop!

Unlike the rebellious REAL black bunny that I have at home.
I went back and forth around Vivo in a dilema.
-> I REALLY want them
-> but have since swore off stuffed friends for years...
-> I still really wanting the bunnies badly..

Since I was going flipping crazy with my major shopping contemplation,
I did what any logical female shopper would do,
that is to walk away and continue with my major mental reasoning (really hoping that I would come to a conclusion soon!)

I chanced upon a second cart selling the same loot...and they made me an offer that no sane person could resist.

You buy the big one, I give you the small one for FREEEEE.
Omg!
That solved my dilema, and brought about a new problem - The choice of color and outfit.

I love the white bitbit to bits!
but looking at Muffin the "white" fat seal nesting at home in bed...
I went for the tea colored bitbit, and consoled myself that the small white one is free - so I wouldnt feel too sad when she turns the same shade of grey as my "white" seal.

My new long ear-ed friends making their way home!
Meet Hops and Honey.
Naming Honey, was a no brainer, Hops on the other hand was tricky
I came up with a long list of names, just so they would rhyme together, and would still fit my white rabbit.

Honey and Hops safe in bed.

I'm itching to bring Hops out in my handbag, but the thought of Hops turning dirty made me ditch the attempt. Meeehhh :(

Just because I dont wear Tee shirts in public...

I received a Tee shirt during one of Zouk's 20/20 anniversary celebration.
The Mambo Jambo Tee in White.

Well the print of the tee is kinda cute, and I've also got some major attachments to Mambo Jambo (it's officially my 10th year since I first entered Zouk!)

The problem is Mademoiselle here, doesn't wear unisex Tee shirt much - unless I absolutely have to...like for work related purpose/event or that you're about to pay me $1000 bucks to wear it out.
Otherwise, Tee shirts will not be a free will matter.

Looking at the sad fate of the Zouk tee, it is either
1) going to be Pajamas,
2) go under the knife and become something else with the possibility of becoming a scrappy, as with some of my other failed experiments..

Since I was in my "creative" streak last month, I decided that the Tee would have to undergo reconstruction surgery!

From looking like this
(okay mine's in white, and I didn't take a "BEFORE" picture of it, since I was like raring to  slice it up - we'd have to settle for what ever I could get from Google)

and I made it into THIS! Ta dah!
So pretty right?

I offically called it my Limited edition, Mambo Jambo dress, Since there's only like 1 of its kind in the entire singapore. Lalalala...

Here's what I did:

1) I chopped away the sleeves
2) Cut away the neckline
3) Added shoulder straps - which in turn girli-fy the Tee, and the other purpose was to shift the hem length lower to my bottom hip area.
4) Added the "skirt" layer to further lengthen it into a dress.

As for my choice of fabric for the shoulder strap + skirt area, the fabrics were wholly scavenged from scrap fabrics available in my Fabric stash (Yes, I happen to be somewhat a fabric hoarder)

Here's how the dress look, when worn!

I'm pondering if I should add another layer on the skirt layer to make the dress silhouette alittle more poof - as supported with my "hourglass" proportion theory from my previous entry

But I'm feeling LAZY at the moment, sooooo Nope.

Not for now.

I've chose to contrast the dress with the color Navy, because

1) it matches the Navy outlines of the print, and to create a softer contrast as opposed to using a harsh black.

2) While using white will make the dress look boring, and somewhat create a very chaste feel - which is very IRONIC for a zouk tee right?

3) I am also quite autocratic when it comes to the usage and matching of colors. 

They have to be the same family!

You cant wear Yellow, Red and Green in an outfit, coz you'll look like a clown! (think yellow pants, red top, green socks or something like that!)

The unstated rule of wearing different shades of black together, or white/white or denim/denim together for that matter - is just wrong as well!! 

Faux paus to the max, and prolly only rare people like Galliano can pull off.

4) And in this case, using black would just mean I have zero eye for detail!

I insist!

Speaking of detail..... 

I am rather pleased to announce that I've managed to preserve the Zouk logo printed at the back of the tee that was previously supposed to sit at the shoulder!
It is barely visible when worn tho. :(
I'm sorry, but you'll need a mirror to read the word "zouk" in the picture..

While posting this entry, I have a sudden inspiration to turn a Tee into a toga tunic dress.

Problem is - I dont have pretty Tee to work on at the moment.
How Ironic eh?

I shall end off this entry with a random smiley picture of myself!

ok byes!

Moving into my semi flutter shorts craze....

The bunny was out of food - like totally out of proper nomming supplies, so I had to make a trip over to Pet Lovers before he actually becomes a bunny skeleton or something!

I dragged myself out of bed, yanked on my lazy clothes - which currently would be the flutter shorts in all assortments and briefly made my way out.
I didnt even apply any make up (wokay, I drew myself some eyebrows, just so that I wouldn't freak people out.)

Walking by foot, I was rather entertained with my shadow!
It also dawned upon me (subconsciously) why I'm quite into the entire flutter-shorts get up at the moment.
Because, my shadow actually looks quite hot when i'm in those shorts!
* yeah dont puke!

Because wearing the Flutter shorts actually created the illusion of an HOUR GLASS figure - at least that's what I saw in my shadow!
lol.

With a "twig" body shape, I've never had much of a bum / ass / hips.
Sooooo because the shorts are cute and poofy, they created the illusion of nice proportioned hips and ass.
Yayness!

In fact, one of my favourite quotes from Mademoiselle Coco Chanel that i'll like to share says
  Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.   
~ Chanel, Coco

Yup! It's always about the proportions. ALWAYS. :)

I attempted to illustrate the silhouette out, and took the pictures using my blackberry (if there's one thing that I hate about my blackberry, it'll have to be the sucky camera with no autofocus function)

If you will pardon the bad drawing and scrutinize just the shape illustrated... you'll see that the shoulders and hip area (donated by the poof of my shorts) are proportionately balanced - therefore creating the "hour glass" illusion.
:D

I tried taking a picture of my slipshod outfit when I came home.
Do bear in mind that my destination was just a 10mins walk away from home, I had little fashion and color sense here, but i'm quite serious about my hot shadow!!
Hahahha!

In the Navy flutter shorts..

 In the crochet lace version that I wore with my thigh socks before heading out to zouk many nights ago..

 I also secretly think that my legs look longer from this view....

and the flutterheart skorts that's currently available in my shop.
you see, it totally gave me an ass from the back view!
My flutterhearts is in the wash at the moment, or i'll totally drag it out for a fashion shoot, since i'm on the topic. :(

Flutter shorts aside  - just to prove my "hourglass" theory - about adding volumes to the bottom and defining the shoulders, here's another picture of my attempt to create the "hourglass" illusion.

By emphasizing the shoulders with my black cape cardi, and pairing it with the drapey little black shorts, viola!

I'm loving this picture to bits! Looks like I've got an awesome figure to die for!
Totally have to credit the sister for her photography talents during our Bowtique photoshoot.

Speaking of shorts, I'm practically living in shorts with the insane heat we're experiencing lately.
If only my parents own an icecream factory, I get tubs of icecream to soak in, until summer's over.
