Here’s a snapshots series of fruit tea preparation that i would like to share. i have readied them in orderly manner, it’s simple straight forward and requires no further  instructions. Except, to add sweets according to your liking. This recipe was observed by me a few months back, when i celebrated with my colleague a farewell lunch in a vegetarian restaurant. We had this tea which is the restaurant’s specialty. A recommended beverage for those weight / health watchers. Bon apetite~

and what is this cow doin’ here…?

 i can impossibly imagine me wearing a real Balenciaga or Sam Edelman bootie. First, obviously it would cost me a bomb. Second, it would also cost me a bomb… Hmm. However, i suffered much a struggle in trying to get over it. Thank God that i have discovered a local online blog store that brings in ‘designer-inspired’ or ‘fashion-inspired’ shoes all the way from Korea (if i am not wrong). . i almost could not believe my eyes and was quite stunned when i first glared at these boots one night when i was browsing through the net to ease off my shopping addictions after a hard day at work that i don’t even passionate about. It’s all worth the money for now considering my financial health in an intensive care unit at stage. i always thank Him for the path in preventing me from splurging into ‘expensive-and-could-not-afford buys. i gave a thought, many many times with that thousands of bucks spent on fetish-looking-booties-that-i-know-i-would-not-even-wear-it-out-in-public-not-especially-in-a-sub-urb-name-Kuantan-except-for-blogging-purpose. Phew! :D i could do good by getting a plentiful collection of vintage dresses for myself and the many important things that i always almost forgot to do like car painting & overhaul, a decent Western cuisine family dinner treat and a problem-free handphone for my boyfriend.

i wonder, how many of us as ‘fashion-bloggers’ overindulged ourselves with designer’s-labels just to feel good about ourselves in it and in the end, ended up feeling empty and devastated all over again? And the cycle continues… Do you? As for me, yes. How do you cope with your temptations & money when it is getting out of control? Any suggestions? Tips are welcome here. Would love to hear from you. Good night & Have a nice weekend ahead!

Above all, nothing compares to the taste of mummy’s deep-fried pork patty we had on our second day of new year. It will take us some time again to have it… It only comes once in a blue moon when mummy has the cool mood to cook :-[

my outfit proverbs for 2010:

• Go vintage
• Strictly no velvets
• Be more couture-ristic
• Explore every style possible
• Be adventurous of animal prints & motives
• Enrich with vividly bold colors (Green, purple, pink, orange & etc.)
• Be courageous, confident, poised & wear it with right attitude
• Cut down on plus / over-sized outfits
• Think new outfits, less of copying
• Reinvent, recycle innovatively
• Lastly, maintain the zestiness

:-]

Wishing everyone a blessed Chinese New Year. :-]

Wearing Printed beast tank over Pastarasta white top (sleeveless is prohibited at work), 3pm denim & Cotton on flats. Ever since Christopher Kane beast prints shirt / dress are made popular amongst the fashion blogger industry; similar concepts are found everywhere these days, the only thing different is with the prints. On a lighter note, this flat is very flattering but humidifying at the same time. It is not recommended for long hours of outdoor use due to its poly-material type which is the source of poor ventilation. The heat from my feet is trapped thus causing an unpleasant odour (ugh, you know what). This has also been confirmed by Mute-mode who is also having this similar problem. It is best for air-conditioned indoor wearing.

Ta ta’s-

i was very much inspired enough by The Glamourai’s bib necklace creation when i first set my eyes on her blog. i must admit that i came to know about the existence of DIY bib necklaces through her. She was one of my blogger friend who does DIYs on women’s fashion accessories. If i am not wrong, i recalled seeing bib necklaces way back in my college days in 2000 – 2002. But it was revisited now. Anyway, what i did was, without much of thinking, i make time and grabbed all the old necklaces and leftover beads that i can find and started making a bib out of them. i was pretty sure that it is as simple enough to do one. Thanks to blackcoffeecrumbs for the captured pics and mute-mode for the yummy milo-iced drink on a hot sunny day just enough to chill me off the heat in the no-ventilation-kitchen. And mom (sorry, she doesn’t own a blog of her own at the moment, i will try convincing her to begin with one as she has got so many to share about everything pluss her english is way much better than mine ;-) ), who’s kind enough to cook herself a packet of instant noodle just to keep me accompanied during my bib project..

And while we were all being so chatty, suddenly we were greeted by an unwelcome guest…

Yes, its the none other than the predictable irritating Raven (ughh, speaking of her, i despised her for bitting my newly purchased but never worn F21 long tank top just now!!! Arghhh!!!)

Will let you know the outcome of the bib once its in completion. It has only reached a 90% of progression for now. Hopefully i have the time to finish it off.

Have a wonderful weekend to all of you!

Among them, Omahyra and Freja falls into the ‘boyish’ category whereas the rest are more towards the feminine side.  If i would to host a fashion runway, their names would definitely be on my list. i do take serious consideration in picking my favourite models as i personally dislikes models with bitchy, dumb and slutish looking image. Though you might know that models (well, most of them) are not very educated, therefore i expect a little intelligence to be projected in their look or at least, in how the way they carry themselves.

The reason why i am saying this is because, i have came to notice that the recent magazine shots and editorials are getting nowhere with more & more images of models with slutishly-dumb-looking-role in it. Its completely common and very predictable to have almost nude or completely nude models posing with their ‘wasted’ or ‘slutish/sexy’ faces these days. i know that they are trying to to be artistic but i personally feel that these is not necessary and can only conclude that they’re basically imposing women in the fashion industry are worthless and have no self-dignity. i am speechless for this and wished that more have respect to style with dignity. i hope you do too.

Nevertheless, their earning power is way much higher when compared to most of us… So, i guess there’s no condemnations here. AND i strongly feel, they themselves disagree to such poses BUT because of money, everything is possible. What do you think?

Thanks to all of you who dropping by : ) Really appreciate your time spent here.
