DOING WHAT I DO BEST

*wrote this entry sometime back in early Jan '12 but it was saved under as a draft...till now

It's that time of the year again - decorate and beautify my 2012 engagement planner :>
I HAVE to decorate my planners with magazine cutouts. Beats me but I guess I just need to personalize my planner. Heck, it even doubles up as a fashion bible in the event that you need some fashion inspiration.

I haven't started decorating my 2012 planner yet, though I've already prepared stickers (bought them from a paper craft store) and magazines cutouts of my favourite celebrities and looks. I usually get these cutouts from fashion titles such as Harper's BAZAAR (usually the Singaporean and Australian edition), Vogue, Teen Vogue, ELLE Singapore, Female (a Singapore fashion title) and Style: (One of my favorite titles; it's a fashion magazine from Singapore). When I was younger (say 15-18), it used to be the likes of Seventeen, Girlfriend (the Australian version of Seventeen) and Teen Vogue.

Note: I don't really try working on every single page. I usually focus on the first few pages.

My 2011 planner! 

Martina (R)! She's the first model whom I've worked alongside with for a shoot. Very nice and approachable :)

Will probably upload 2012's lot really soon! xxx

Palazzo Beauties

I swear online shopping is a drug I need to wean off. I think I've lost count of the number of stuff I've bought online just this month. It's just way too crazy. And just last night, I've discovered the best online shopping site. Oh geez, why did it take me ages to discover this awesome Australian-based site???? *shrugs*

Anyway, thats besides the point... I nearly bought a pair of palazzo pants for myself cos they're so chic and I'm totally digging this look now. Palazzo pants + white tank top + wedges/clogs = FASHION BABY!!!! But that said, I didn't get them in the end cos I decided to splurge on an edgy ring from Erin Wasson's LowLuv range (funny how I'm always buying stuff from House of Harlow and LowLuv).

Picture sources: ELLE, ASOS, Derek Lam 

I'm really loving the trend! I also love how it doubles up as a semi-formal, dressier version of the typical corporate trousers (like the ones that accountants wear to work, no offence to accountants though), just as the one in the third picture (courtesy of Derek Lam). I can definitely see myself wearing that to work if I were some high-flying PR executive. One other reason why I didn't get myself that pretty palazzo pants online last night? Thats cos I already own a pair!!! Hahaha it's the exact same one in the last picture. Got it from ASOS and it was quite a good bargain too :)
