CLICK CLICK CLICK :D

I know this entry's title is pretty random so :D so much has happened since my last blog post, like, Mom's gonna get us a new Chanel 2.55 so yay!!! My Winter break is coming to a near end too, so I'm pretty much   not looking forward to a new term. Uni's a rut seriously. I'm currently experiencing some issues with the Student Portal (oh, darn you school. kidding) and I can't seem to enrol, drop, add or swap any subjects online. Sure sucks to be me.

Meeting with the girls soon and I think i'm wearing a maxi skirt tomorrow. I guess I have a thing for maxis - both dresses and skirts. My sister shoved a striped maxi skirt when she got back the other day. Apparently she can't fit into the Cotton On skirt she bought. Hahaha. I'm thinking of pairing them with heels, though i'm still contemplating if I should.

That said, we kinda adopted a stray little pup. He's a six weeks old Mongrel named Simba. My sister's friend found three puppies on the street and sis brought one home. He's really cute though my granny has already made her stance that we gotta find the pup a new home cos she doesn't want to care for the dog. Everyone's busy and my sister and I will be heading back to Melbourne, so I guess we gotta start finding him a new home. I can't bear to part with him (those numerous feeding times really bonded both of us) but there is nothing much I can do cos it's not like I can just ship him off to Aussie :'(

FLEA @ SCAPE YOUTH PARK :D

Hi guys,  my sis and I will be there this Sat selling both NEW and preloved clothes, accessories, bags and shoes. Items are mainly from high-street brands such as Topshop, H&M, Miss Selfridge, F21, Urban Outfitters as well as as Aussie brands like Sportsgirl, Supre and Dotti. Prices start from $2. It's our first flea experience (as vendors) so we are not expecting much. Our preloved items are in good condition (most of them are not yet worn - yes, we can be such impulsive shoppers) and we take pride in the stuff that we sell. Do pop by and say hi if you're in the vicinity! It'll be nice to see a familiar face. It'll be even better if you can bring a friend along! Seeya this Sat! :D

I've realised I've been neglecting this blog, but do pardon me for I've been busy sorting out pile of (old) clothes. That's right, my sis and I will be holding a stall at a flea market the week after. We'll be mainly selling new and preloved items from our wardrobe. We usually shop at high-street brands, so do expect stuff from Massimo Dutti, ZARA, Mango, Topshop (a personal favourite), F21, H&M as well as Aussie brands such as Sportsgirl (another personal favourite), Dotti, Supre and Bardot. I'm sure we'll include stuff from other brands, but till then, we gotta sort everything out. No kidding, when you've amassed a huge collection of clothes over the years (from two girls at that), do expect a whole lot of outfits. Our clothes are also in good condition (I gurantee that we wore them less than five times on average). Also up for sale are rings, headbands, necklaces, bags and shoes :)

P.S: Will be attending a fashion show at Zouk tomorrow. Can't wait to post up new pictures! :D

LOVELORN

Well, you guys might know that I'm in a long-distance relationship. I've been with my boyfriend for almost two years and I must say, even though we have loads of bickering sessions and little petty fights, we still love each other dearly. It's never easy for one to be in a LDR, and for that, I salute those whose long-distance relationships are successful. Technically speaking, my parents themselves are in a LDR as well. Dad's stationed in HK and occasionally flies to Milan, while mum is well, mum in Singapore.

I'm actually writing this cos I miss my boyfriend of two years dearly. I sent him off at the airport this morning (he boarded the 7AM flight from Melbourne to Auckland) and it has indeed been a long day for me. Thank God I didn't cry at the airport this time round (bonus points for me!!! :> ), though my tears started streaming down when I got home. It'll be just a month more before I get to see him again and for that, I can't wait to look forward to 4th July.

Picture taken by the boyfriend when we were out at Brunwick the other day. Im wearing a Zara coat, black shiny matt skirt from Supre, tights from American Apparel and black ankle booties with shear lining from Topshop.

Speaking of Brunswick, omg it's awesome!! The boyfriend loves it there and so do I. Loads of vintage stores (still can't find Savers though!) and off-beaten shops with quirky little finds. Very different from the ones at Bourke Street Mall, I must say. This is my fourth time there and when my allowance comes in, I'm so gonna explore the streets there and (literally) shop til' I drop. 

I guess thats all for now, cos my head hurts and I'm pretty much in low spirits today. But that said, if you are in a LDR yourself, or if you were to know of any successful LDR coupling, pray tell! :) It'll be nice to give someone like me hope to hang in there <3

LE DISCO PANT (et TOMS)

I was so proud of myself for not doing any online shopping (even though I did attempt to by looking poring through some of my favourite sites) since April. Checked my mail last night and found a mail from American Apparel (Australia). Apparently they're having a hosiery and socks sale so heh heh yours truly helped myself to some nice tights (I'm a big fan of tights by the way. They look so sophisticated with ankle boots, flats and booties during winter. Love love them!) and then, I suddenly had the urge to take a good look at the Disco Pant again. I had the biggest crush on the Disco Pant since last year, but what put me off from purchasing one pair is the huge-ass price. Seriously, 125AUD for a pair of shiny nylon pants? But I don't deny they are indeed a showstopper :)

My fave color! :) See how awesome it looks! Makes me so tempted to get a pair right now grrrr

Kill me please. DISCO PANT= LUST-WORTHY

Speaking of which, I got myself my first pair of TOMS shoes last night!! :) For those who don't know, TOMS was basically started by this an American dude who travelled to Argentina and was startled that most of the poverty-stricken kids there do not even own a pair of shoe. And thus, thats how TOMS came about. For every pair of shoe that is purchased by you or anyone else, the company will donate a new pair of shoes to a kid in need. It's basically fashion cum charity. The shoes reminds me of keds, but what I really like is the idea of helping someone and being able to get yourself a new nice reward at the end of the day. TOMS' is also very much a big hit among celebrities too - Keira Knightley, Miley Cyrus, Liv Tyler, the Olsen twins, Anna Kubrick and model Agyness Denn are some of the famous faces that have been seen wearing them. 

I got myself a TOMS classic canvas which retails for US$44 and I got mine in Olive. My sis thought the colour was awful (she got hers in Navy) while the Boyfriend thinks Olive is a pretty unique colour as compared to Ash grey (my first choice). Heh heh I guess I'll probably have to wait for my parcel to arrive before I could say if I made the right choice, but till then, fingers crossed!

OH, URBAN OUTFITTERS STOP INCREASING SHIPPING FEES WILL YOU

I am so uber freaking pissed. I haven't visit the UO site since last month (in fact, I think I only browsed the site briefly less than 5 times this semester) and I was happily selecting some good buys to my cart when gasp, economy shipping fees is now USD$30?!!! Whatever happened to that $12 economy shipping fees?! Seriously, UO is the death of me. I love your items but why do you have to do this to us, beloved international shoppers? Whats with that increment? Gone were the days when I used to shop like nobody's business (free shipping as long as you spend more than $150) but now, I gotta pay some freaking $30 just to ship a couple of sale items over? Oh God.

Random musings

Me in my sis' micro denim shorts. Wore this out with ankle boots to Camberwell Market with Blair two months back. Do pardon me for the messy background at the back.

Totally diggin' her hair here.

WANT

Deena & Ozzy studded boots that I got for a steal from Urban Outfitters. My fave 2010 winter essentials.

The late Korean model Daul Kim. Took this off from her blog sometime back last year when I was reading it. Love this pic. It reminds me of a Bazaar editorial.
