How do you get over a broken heart?
My life is seriously in a rut.
Side note, I need to watch The Painted Veil. Ed Norton is HOT

Heartbreak Warfare

Have you ever lost faith in something that you truly believed in and lived for? I think I am.

It's Sept next week and thou shalt not shop

OHMYGAWD IT'S ALREADY LATE AUGUST - can you believe that? My timetable's this semester is really slack - just a three day uni week (well, it's actually four, but you can count Thursday as a non-uni day since it's just an hour lecture with guest lecturers and a 20-minute consultation session every alternate week). That said, I've been trying to save my allowances cos I had a near-death experience last week. Hah, I got really broke (and really, I DID NOT SHOP AT ALL, i swear. Apart from grocery shopping, the only shopping 'indulgence' I ever had was to spend AUD$19.95 on a set of stickers wall decals from this awesome site called lovemae. I love their products - stuff there are soooooo pretty!). And so yeah, back to the being broke part, thank God for my dad cos he sent me moolah :> Okay but I realised I'm a pretty big spender, I went on a shopping spree on ASOS last night (bought some nice corporate wear for my future internship stints) and was busy buying a friend's gift for her 21st at Sportsgirl. And I blew about $62 just on greeting/birthday cards. Ok, I'd like to think of myself as a generous giver.

That said, here are some pictures (from all over the web, such as fashionising.com)

Abby Lee Kershaw in a sheer maxi skirt. 

Lowluv by Erin Wasson Cross Necklace. Saw it on a model for an online boutique and I love it! It's tad too pricey though (I'm a poor uni student surviving on a student allowance, so what more do you expect) But I'm contemplating if I should get this. 

YSL Gold Pavot Arty Ring. I love it. But again, not sure if I wanna part with $275 for this baby. I mean, I bought a pair of Chanel earrings and i've only worn it less than five times. Bet it's collecting dust now. 

And before I go, another week of awesome celeb goss (erm nope, I'm not referring to Kim Kardarshian's wedding) - Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are expecting their third child! :):):) I'm a huge fan of the Afflecks-Garner and I'm thrilled for them! I know a lot of people on the Internet always go how Jen Garner ain't stylish off the red carpets, but seriously, she's a hands-on mom so what do you expect? Granted, there are other stylish moms who are very hands-on when it comes to their kids a la Gwen Stefani and Nicole Richie, but she ain't J-Lo who goes around with an entourage of bodyguards and nannies. And it's so obvious that her girls are happy and very down-to-earth. And I'm sure many Garner fans out there can attest that the Afflecks are probably the most real Hollywood family ever. Whoops, and did I forget to mention that when Jen Garner's all immaculately styled for the red carpet and major events, she's one glamourous star? A real beauty indeed.

SHEER DECADENCE

I'm back in Melbourne and sigh, it's the start of a new semester again. I don't really wanna delve too much about school right now (but yay slack timetable and no school on Fridays! AWESOMO!!!) so I guess I'll probably just post some pictures up.

It was my cousin Mark's 21st bash and I wore this to his birthday dinner. A Topshop shirt and a sheer black maxi also from Topshop, along with a Chanel 2.55 and vintage clogs. 

He's the number one reason why I left with a heavy heart. I'll probably never see him again. I love you, my little baby. Always <3

Ain't it pretty? Taken by yours truly while I was at the Equinox at Swissotel for high tea with the Boyfriend. Singapore is soooooo pretty!!

Makeup Wonders

As you can see, I'm pretty much a late bloomer when it comes to boys, fashion and yes, make-up. Yours truly must have thought that natural beauty was the way to go till...recently. I've been heading down to Sephora and the local drugstores recently to stock up on my fill of lipsticks (errrrrr, yes, that's my latest obsession). Bought rouge sticks from Anna Sui (packaging is sooooo pretty; can't help it!), Topshop and The Body Shop. I've been using ones from Dior and Revlon when I decided to try new shades. I'm thinking of getting those Chanel and MAC ones (almost every fashion magazines are raving about MAC's lipsticks). No prizes for guessing why one of my uni blog's named lipsticktray.

Speaking about Sephora, it's makeup haven for all girls!! I love love love Urban Decay and yes, it's the best place to shop for a girlfriend's birthday present! And plus, they do provide gift-wrapping services as well! And the staff there are always super friendly! :) So if you're a good gf of mine, you pretty much know what you're gonna get from me - huge stash of makeup!

JT & Jessica Biel back on (again)!

I really wanted to blog about Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's 4th July outing, where they celebrated and showcased their patriotic side with their daughters. I mean, how often do you see Hollywood's most down-to-earth and 'normal' family (apart from Pink's, I guess) in full force, having a smashing time?

That was until I visited Popsugar (my fave celebrity goss site by the way) and realised that JT and Jessica Biel are back on! I must admit I pretty much find the former pretty annoying these days. Who cares about his crazy attention-seeking antics with his Friends with Benefits co-star at the recent MTV Movie Awards? Or his new plans for MySpace? I was more interested in Jessica's rendezvous with Gerald Butler and Colin Farrell. Whatever it is, I hope things will work out for them this time round. Four years by Hollywood's standard is a pretty long time and plus, they make a good-looking pair so I hope things will turn out good. Hopefully. Fingers crossed!

The boyfriend will be back tomorrow and I'm all psyched up to pick him up from the airport :D That also brings to mind the question, what am I wearing tomorrow? I haven't seen G for almost a month and even though we've been together since forever, it'll still be nice to make a nice first impression after so long. I'm probably gonna raid my wardrobe after this post.

Moving on... I've received my exam results. It's okay, but I know I can do better. It really sucks when you realise you're just one or two marks away from the next grade. Like $%@#@'s wrong with you, tutors??!!!  That said, major note to self: PLEASE STOP PROCRASTINATING AND WORKING ON THAT MAJOR PIECE OF WORK JUST THE NIGHT BEFORE!
