Gwen Stefani - Harajuku lovers Beats earphones.

Aaayyy Waaaaaaaant!

So cute!

*stares at the pair of Red Lady Gaga earphones currently using*

I still love you, but the Harajuku one is also love!

The way I look at it, my set of Lady Gaga Heartbeat matches my new red bling phone cover, +  Nano casing pretty well.

Let me illustrate to you what I mean.. :)

Lady Gaga with Phone...

I

Nano cover + Heartbeats + phone. Nice!

In my head, the Harajuku in the Chrome color looks awesome with everything as well. 

The cute Harajuku ones just cant stop popping up in my head.

Rwar!

Fancy this as well... but it doesnt match with everything else! 

why does it have to be in baby blue?

red bow with white/pink variant works as well what! :(

Need to digress..

Bought a new poofy pouch yesterday because it's soooooo cute.

Peeping into my bag now makes me happy.

Why?

Everything's matchy matchy and color coded.

White, Red, Silver and Bling!

Even the keys! But I refuse to run to the door to fetch the keys in for a photoshoot, so we'll just make do with the product pictures from Bowtique

Yay!

Nice right?

------

And now I have this "fancier" idea...

to wear my Harajuku doll Dress and have matchy earphones...

Cutest dolls I've met for a while.

Haha!

Couldn't resist and I wore them in Bangkok the very next day!  :p

Purple Chic

Heart my Purple Dress, especially the the Chain details on the shoulder.
Available in Black, White and Purple in the next Bowtique collection launch.
Lazy to post picture of the entire dress.
But it's really just a simple tank top dress with the awesome chain details - easy to envision right?
:)

♥

Old pictures of past outfits...

I have a terrible bad habit of taking a pictures and not remembering to post them up.

I found these picture in the camera from a million years ago, while hunting for other pictures.

Here's 2 black and white outfit that I'll like to share with different looks.

Can't even remember where I was heading out to...

But since I kinda like my simple but chic look for the night... I figured that I should share! :)

What I wore for the night:

My trusty black jacket from Far East since the start of the world.

Edgy Skater Dress from Bowtique

Pitcher Plant Necklace from Amado Gudek that the owner, Elaine gave to me early this year.

Elastic Belt from Far East

Mono art Floral Bracelet I bought from Stella's shop when Audrey and I dropped by Haji Lane last year.

It's times like these that reckons I like my accessories more than my clothes!

This picture shows my accessories better..

Yet another Mono colored outfit!

Looking it it, I did not realize it was a Black and white phase I was in.

kwakwakwa...

Stripes and Bow Top from Bowtique

Dotted Ribbon from my own wardrobe

Little Black Shorts from Bowtique

Ribbon Buckle Belt from Bangkok.

Now we play Spot the Difference!
What's the difference between the next 2 pictures?

Nothing much...
Just the change in Ribbons, and the +/- of accessories.
I settled for the clashing of dots and stripes and sauntered out of home for coffee.
Lalala..

Beer Festival, Wavehouse and a haircut.

Spent the entire Saturday feeling abit Meh
Had to force myself to wake up for my hair appointment that I booked for myself and mommy, and she had to call me twice to make sure that I was awake and making my way out.
Madam was upset that I was almost an hour late.

I reckon it was Friday's activities that gave me a lethargic Saturday and achy arms - and i'll talk abt friday in abit.

So here's the hair post trimming.

Wow! 

Hair looks exactly the same! :D

I took off about 2-3 inches off, re-layered the top and it just looked sleeker from the blowdry.

Remember my post about delaying a trip to the hairdressers..

I decided, I needed that hair trim bad, for  I. stopped. using. the. comb.

It was prehistoric cave girl life for a week, and hobo chic hair was totally my bestfriend!

Hairpins could get lost in my hair jungle, and I would only realize its existence when I'm shampooing.

Whining aside, I was so exhausted that I flopped into bed after I was done with dinner (it's not an uncommon practise for me), and woke up 2 hours later, with the girls asking if I would join them at Zirca...

I obviously chose to stay home to recharge, for a better Sunday.
Contemplated sleeping through to Sunday, if it wasn't for the fact that I need to wash my make up goobs off the face, and that I was hungry again.

What transpired on Friday?

Headed over to Wave House and "rode" the waves for 2 hours straight and grew a tan.
That's some massive cardio workout for a sloth like me.
But I'm improving!

Had a late "lunch" at 4ish in the evening at Carls Junior Vivocity.
Portobello Mushroom burger - I love you!
Headed home and ate dinner - Fell asleep (again) post dinner,
woke up and headed out for some last minute Beer Festival at the Flyer.
Free Tickets!

Wore Bowtique's Blood Orange Jumpsuit - launching in the next collection with my myriad of accessories.
Yes, I'm quite the accessory gypsy and check out my red bling bling phone cover!!
Crappy picture the BB produces. Never fails to amaze me...
Sigh.

By the time I got there, the rest were already semi wasted.
We toured around the festival and I discovered the nicest tasting beer ever!
I fell in love with the North Taiwanese Beer. The beer came in Lychee and Honey Melon flavour - love the fruitiness and sweet after taste, and I've never been a fan of beer in my life!

The cute label packaging of the bottle gave it a +10 cuteness
Hehehe.
I was a happy NTW beer guzzler, until the alcohol kicks in.

 That's when I asked for food, and we left for Macs.
I went home a happy + tired girl with my third purple coke glass!

Ending my post with the Tags I've collected for Friday. :)

Eclipse!

I've been told that Eclipses are bad for Humans.
Be it Lunar or Solar Eclipse.

I've also been told to avoid consuming water, food and alcohol during the eclipse, and to stay indoor while it happens, for the "energies" released during the eclipse is very harmful and negative to me.
Therefore eating during eclipse is as good as poisoning myself, (So i gather?) and the spread of viruses.

Which is why i'm starving as I blog.
Boo.
My second eclipse (not literally), that i'm observing the starving/ no water/ stay indoor.

I had a really bad solar eclipse experience late last year..
Had alot of yelling to do over the phone while i'm out in the mall + grumpy from the lack of the food.
The public display of temper was just beyond awesome.

So I'm not taking any chances with this lunar eclipse.
Camped at home early, kept myself off supper... *stomach growling*

Been googling abit for answers and I'm not interested in the scientific versions... just the alternate ones that no one can provide me with answers.

Well, based on my findings,the easiest perspective to digest would be from
Feng Shui master : Joey Yap's  version ... I've bold the important bits for easy speed reading.

According to him on fengshuilogy

Most forms of Astrology, place a great deal of emphasis on the Sun and the Moon. 

In Chinese Astrology, the Sun is Yang and the Moon is Yin and they are regarded as the only two stars in the constellation that can emit light.

Thus, when an eclipse of the Sun or Moon takes place, all Yang or all Yin is blocked out momentarily during that point in time. 

In Chinese Astrology, a sun eclipse is regarded as being worse than a moon eclipse - this is because Yang energy is required by all living beings and when a Sun eclipse occurs, 

Yang energy to Earth is momentarily interrupted. It also falls in-line with astrological findings that the Moon doesn’t actually emit its own light, but merely reflects the light of the Sun.

Per Chinese Astrology, it is strongly advisable to avoid going outdoors during a Sun Eclipse or to observe the phenomenon at all. Being outdoors during a Sun Eclipse is a one-way ticket to bad luck within 3 months. The ancient Chinese Astrologers specifically advised against any direct look at the eclipse.

--- fast forward ---
I guess this is where we get explainations for the "suay" ness that we get.. Lol.

Exposure to the effect of a Sun Eclipse, can be part of the reason why two people with the same BaZi charts, encounter different paths at a certain point in time. This is because Person A and Person B are influenced by different Heavenly Stars or Tian Xing at that point in time, based on their geographical location.




Since my source came from indian astrology, (after much comparison, I realized that chinese and indian folklore and religions has so much in common, only that the Indians are very much more elaborate when it comes to rites and beliefs!)

so based on the more elaborate and spiritual theory:

The air during the eclipse is impure - which is why people are highly encouraged to stay at indoors during the time to reduce the breathing / absorption of the bad energies.

At a superstitious level, eclipse is when the dark magic exploits the opportunity to harness the negative energies do their evil deeds,

as how i would analogize it - it's like exploiting the security lapse during an electricity blackout, where the "up-to-no-good" would exploit the security lapse and do what they usually can't do~ which is bad for good people like us!

The site is too lengthy to be posted here - you can read up if you're really that interested.
It's called a spiritual perspective.
It's like one of the rare sites that explains why I should starve myself, instead of munching on my big serving of Kokocruch and milk as like how I'll usually do.

I even left Zouk early!
Rwar!
Apparently the site recommends a couple of DONTS

• Avoid Eating: The increase in the subtle basic Raja-Tama in the atmosphere during the period of an eclipse affects food as well as the digestive processes. Hence it is advisable to avoid meals during the period of the eclipse. The time period when we should avoid meals depends on the type of eclipse. This is because the amount of sunlight or moonlight reaching Earth depends on the percentage area of the Sun or Moon covered during the eclipse.
  
  

I glazed over the definition of Raja-Tama, so if you really want to know, ask google.

Feeling giddy from the
lack of sustenance from my beloved Kokocrunch - where the milk swirling in it will have a GREAT CHOCOLATEY Taste AND the negative energies of the eclipse.

Need to sleep.

KthxBye!

safari princess

Heading out to Zouk in awhile. 

Can't decide between keeping the White Safari piece or the Pink one from Bowtique's next collection..

I love the print, the one sided tassels and the asymmetric cutting of the dress !

Posting pictures just to see response before I decide on the color.

My Wardrobe's gonna burst, so i'm only allowing myself just 1 color for each design.

Such tough choice because I know I look damn good in white, and so far everyone's swayed towards the white for me.

But Argh, I need to break that white habit. 

Pink it shall be. ;)

decision making is a dreadful process.

Gotta go!

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

I haven't been conscientious with my updating as like how I've promised myself that I would.
Oops.
Perhaps tonight, I shall remember to take pictures of myself wearing stuff from the new collection. :)

perhaps, perhaps, perhaps... :)

post holiday syndrome..

Was a sad / excited girl when I put myself back on the plane.

Holiday's over.

Excited because i'm totally looking forward to the coming collection for Bowtique!

I practically wanna wear everything like NOW..if it wasn't for the fact that I'll itch and scratch around like a monkey from wearing new unwashed clothes.
Though i'm not quite sure if the itch is psychological or for real,
(considering the fact that I practically grew up in a clothes factory - I kinda know how dirty clothes can be, being bundled and thrown around on the floor etc and then think geographical hygiene in manufacturing countries like china..thailand... vietnam..
eek!

Okay digression aside, so I touched down back to Singapore, and the first meal I had was 

Macdonalds (seriously wtf, i know)

But i need to get the lime green glass! 

If you haven't already caught on ( no idea which world you're residing in..), the current Mac craze would be that coca cola glass shaped like a coke can in 6 various colors~ ♥)

So far.....

1x dark green

2x pink (coz it's a pretty color)

1x lime green.

I totally intend to get 2x purple and grey!

I seriously need to stop eating Mac just for their collectibles.

Argh. *guilty face*

Was chomping Macs in Bkk, just to get the Po (kung fu panda) cup lids.

Luckily they had the yummy Samurai Pork Burger that Singapore doesn't carry, which in turn makes me feel less loser. 

Hahahhaa.

I never knew buying trips could be this tiring.

I dozed off in the cab ride home, the cab uncle had to wake me up for directions to direct location...

Attempted to unpack - but ended up lost in dreamland when I took a break from unpacking.

Mom had to yanked me out of bed to eat dinner.

Was so tired that I could not stomach much of my rice from dinner.

And now, awake and hungry again... I munch as I type.

Thank gawd I had the foresight to get Crystal Jade egg tarts when I marched out to get Bubble Tea.

*mom rolled her eyes and nagged when i told her about my bubble tea shop discovery at Bangkok. 

She's like totally exasperated with my addiction to bubble tea - coz she's convinced that bubble tea is bad for the health.

It's my only vice!

I dont smoke, drink or do drugs. Only Bubble Tea! :D~

June Rambles

Hellloooo!

Attempted to snap pictures of myself/hair color, and I guess I was feeling/looking decent enough to photograph myself.

Hair in normal lighting...
I am getting quite bored of my hair, and just delaying a trip to the hairdressers..
Invested in a few new look!
Like the braided "hair"band I bought.
It made my boring hair look alittle more fancy, and i have to admit that it looks pretty convincing eh? + the "hair"band's color is quite a close match to my real hair color.
Woots for that and the blurred background achieved from photoshopping! :)

Chiffon Pink hair color in Daylight.

Reckon this would be my how the hair would look like in daylight, without flash.

I decided that I wanted a MEGA sized donut hair, that my own hair alone cannot achieve (yes, despite my ridiculous hair length at the moment)

Went to research on Donut hairs, and some girls suggested that we stuff a sock to create a poof! on the hair.

I thought about it, and still preferred my socks to be with my feet, rather than my hair/head..

so I did what a girl would do! 

That is to head down to Far East Plaza, to get hair inserts la.... 

No matter how I try to angle my camera, it is impossible to be able to look AT the camera, smile and be able to capture my poofy donut bun.

So faceless shot would suffice.

*scowl*

Was inspired by an old design that I found in my sketch book..
Went fabric shopping, and sewed a new dress from scratch! :)

Kinda fancy my dress quite abit that I even wore the dress out for Ben's wedding lunch yesterday.
Close up pictures of this dress would have to wait until I get back from Bangkok.

Not so much about the silhouette that I'll rave about, but rather the dress details...
Like the asymmetric top...
the crystal beading surrounding the "lobang", that took me 3 hours to achieve +  random dream about "flying" off to different caves to gather various colored crystals when I went to bed....it's quite wtf.. like some computer game quest
tsk!

oh!! and the back gather detail of my dress that I ♥♥ ALOT~
Not forgetting the choice of color - purple and red. :)

Can't wait to head off to Bangkok in a matter of hours!
I reckon that frequent traveling would do me good.
I dread being confined in Singapore.

Went out on a date with my Honey a few nights ago.
Nothing much, just a lazy night out.
Hops's outfit wasn't ready, so it was just Honey going on an outing.

We shared a seat and I buckled him - just so he'll have a safe journey.
With my messy hair and all.
Awww

Picture in the lift.

Sucky picture from the Blackberry that no amount of Photoshopping would do any justice, so i'll leave it to be.. all my old non-smart phones could do better.

Baffling, isn't it?

At least now everyone knows why the bitbits needs modern clothes - to go out in!

Cant be seen in the same outfit twice can they?

Hahahha.

I reckon I should catch some sleep before the flight.
Adios!

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!
Credits to Obsidian Dawn. 
♥ 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.
