The Irresistable Ones

Who can say no to such a cute top like this one? With big bow and lace, it just screams "PICK ME", you know, like screaming so loud to beg for your attention.





With these,



And these : denim skirt, aqua ring and multiple gold chains bracelet,



which gives more life to the top, I am ready to roll. :D
But somehow, I need to fix the way I stand. Why do I always sort of unknowingly hunch my shoulders?

And I definitely can't say no to these ethnic print dress. Too hard to resist.





Looking good that night, I can't help either taking more and more photos. LOL.
Well, looking good is not the same as beautiful. Everyone can look good in his/her own way but not everyone can be beautiful. I think, being naturally beautiful is really a precious gift, but even if you aren't, you can always make some efforts to look good. Am I right?
Trying to be a philosopher, I certainly will fail big time. :D :D :D

And, more of the irresistible is this orange polkadot dress.
Absolutely, absolutely irresistible.



We were both wearing dots because it was the theme that night. Fran's dress is a chiffon bat winged dress, really cute. I would definitely and literally resemble a bat in bat-winged dresses or tops. Not flattering for my case.



Fran and I were the only polkadot girls.



Acting cuteeee and all.



Supposedly, we all turned on three and threw our hair like those hair shampoo models while filming advertisement, but it turned out that no one did throw except Fran. LOL.



Supposedly, we all played American's Next Top Models poses, but again, it turned out that no one did pose except Fran. HAHAHAHA.
She is one fun item to be with, really. She did look hot here, huh?? Actually there's one more where she jumped and her expression really resembled the pro model. Hahaha. But she has to give the permit first or else she would crush me to pieces. So, will you, Fran???? Tell me!!!



Back to normal us.



The many faces of the chicks.



And save the cutest for the last. :D

Gonna leave for Singapore tomorrow, I am excited to the core. Loads of pics (I hope) coming soon.
Adios, everyone.......

Everlasting Ones

Fran told me that she read somewhere that two of the most essential items a girl should have in her wardrobe area pair of sleek cut tailored pants and a black blazer, cause these two items can never go wrong and last for seasons. Well, this sounds like very true!!!

So, this pair of tailored pants I am wearing in this picture will probably last for a couple of years?? Well, I'm not quite sure about that, cause every time I look at a piece of clothing and think," Woww, this is an investment, it is going to last for good." But the fact is, it doesn't even last for one good year in my case, let alone for good. LOL

I mean, we just have to face it that we girls grow bored very very easily. That explains why there are 20something pairs of shoes in our shoe racks and why there just never seems to be enough space in the wardrobe for all the jeans and shirts and tops and dresses no matter how many we have donated or given away. Well, of course NOT all girls are sinner like some girls, trust me I know some fraction of girls who seem to be untouched with all this madness. They truly win my respect.

So, again, I have a pair of good tailored pants now and I have two or three black blazers. Let me cross my fingers and pray I don't ask for more. LOL

P.S : I am so much in affair with androgyny style, btw. I am now looking for a pair of black and white oxford shoes, with some simple details and some fringes perhaps. I don't know, I just have this image in my mind, I will know the one when I see one.







Both top and bottom are from Thechicks' Dollhouse.

Now, let's talk maxi.
I remember a couple of years ago, maxi dresses were huge, be it printed, ethnic, floral. Now, it is not as huge although once or twice we can still see models in runways strut around in designers'. So, I ransacked my wardrobe to bring my maxi dresses back to life. Well, some are still in perfect condition and wearable, although there are also some which just figuratively scream "UGHHH".
And I realized one thing, I have loads of printed dresses but I rarely have plain one-color dress. And that is why I bought this one, plain navy maxi or to be exact, calf-length dress.
This one is definitely gonna last for years!!!! Cause it's plain!!! Do you see what I see? An investment, not an "UGHH".
LOL





Introduce you to my not-so-little brother.



The only picture with Fran that night.



Angel in body-con floral dress and the everlasting black blazer.



And me in the everlasting harem pants. It has a side zipper and two side pockets. Side-zippered pants are perfect for concealing bulging tummy, you know.
The pink and black lace kitten heel shoes are from Fran. But honestly, among all type of heels, kitten heels are my least favorite, cause I seem to always lose my balance while walking in them, due to the weigh of my you-know-what. How can a "kitten" support me? LOL
Nevertheless, it's a sweet gift. I got it from our gift exchange last Chinese New Year. Ppl always remark "Hey, cute shoes!!!" every time I wear it.

Oh, one last thing. My birthday cakes and celebration were awesome!!!!


The one with ME as the icing, the one which is my most favorite avocado cake and the one which is a pizza cake. :D :D :D

And look at my face on the one with pizza cake. I got punked on my birthday with all the hand paintings from wannabe if not failed artists. It was a good one though, can't pretend I don't like it. LOL.
Thanks to Fran (smooch...hhh...hhh...) . Shudders...... But thanks. :D
Till the next post. Adios......

Shorts Affair

I shouldn't be wearing shorts too often, considering my bottoms are not particularly flattering and in fact are very much violating the law of perfection. However, I don't believe in perfection and I think it is overrated.
Every time I try on long pants (which supposedly should be more friendly for my body shape), I always end up opting for shorts, again and again. I hardly wear long pants in that I think they draw more attention to my thighs and not to mention the fact that I look kinda short and plump(er) in them.







This cocoa flared loose shorts have an excellent cutting. I always have difficulty in finding the good cutting for the unusual bottom of mine, but this one came just right. I have been wearing it too often in fact. Gotta find another replacement to avoid boredom.

Now, in the quest of the right shorts, faith brought me to another pair, with equal if not better cutting. And the plus point is : it is FLORAL.
"OMG. I have to have this!!!" whispered the little evil miss shopper.





I am not the one for high-waisted shorts or pants or anything related to "high waist". Like I have mentioned, the "unusual" ones keep me from them. Not flattering for me. Then one day, I ran into this high waist denim-look-alike shorts. And I bought it because it has front buttons. And I regret it afterward, as predicted, because it is clearly just a "fling". Not even close to "like" although it is not any nearer to "hate" either.



Wore it to Fran's boyfriend's birthday dinner, with loose toga lace top and a pair of bright-colored heels.
This is the best match that I can find, for my case. Tucking in the top will actually do both the top and the pants more justice, however it won't do ME any justice, so yeah, no tucking in please.





Fourth on the list is bright blue pants. Honestly, I don't know what they call this shape of hem, but the girl I purchased this from said that it is scallop hem. Don't know what it means, but yeah.................. it is scallop shorts.







I paired it with plain long tank top and a pink boyfriend blazer, and a pair of oxford shoes (currently top the list of my MOST favorites).

Well, that's all for now. Gotta hit the sack.



Adios :)

Playing Dollhouse @ Polyvore

Been a while since I logged in to Polyvore.

Three sets of nothing fuzzy, simple and easy to pull off combo:

Happy Birthday LZ :)

Okay, so she totally stole my idea about making a post about in honor of a celebration; cause I planned to make a birthday entry and then she went and made an engagement entry :D.

But anyway! It's her birthday and I wanna say Happy birthday to this awesome girlfriend of mine.


SO! I'm gonna write about 8 fun facts about Linda. Cause 8 is her birthday& favorite month and there are a lot of fun facts about her that I observed now and then.

I'll try to make this all fashion related, cause that girl lives and breathes fashion, and here goes :

1. She loves bold busy prints.

I used to stick to a no pattern safe boring colors, but Lind goes into a store and always picks the busiest ethnic cross flowers with orange black green all over. Serious.

2. She wears long exceptionally well.

While I fail miserably at height department and almost never thinks of wearing any skirt passing my knees, she always goes around being her tall self and wears long floor sweeping skirt.

3. She's not a good shopping companion.

Because she will say "yes" to everything.

It's so rare that she says no to a piece of clothing and you'd end up buying a lot cause she just is the kind of person who sees the beauty in everything wtf. Just the occasional shake her head.

" Fran, this strawbee is pretty. You have to buy it else you'll regret it"

4. She's an accessories whore.

Like, chronic.

It's been established multiple times on this blog too.

5. She has shoes-fetish.

Make that bold-edgy-killer-shoes-fetish. Please see blog too! Haha wtf so difficult finding pics, that's all I did all morning!!

6. She really can wear almost anything.

Actually I don't have to post pictures for this point cause the old posts pretty much summed up the chameleon in her lol.

7. Ohmygod coming with 8 points is really harder than I thought, but okay. Here : She can also wear almost any length of hairdo.

And just for the fun of it, I'm gonna post how long her hair used to be!!

This was when I still part-timed as drag queen.
LOL, fml why I posted this! The thing I do for your birthday LZ!

This is actually really remarkable right? I mean, her face shape is not the kind that you want to pair with short short hair, but she did it and got away with it.

8. She is an inspiration.

At least to me she is. And this goes beyond fashion, accessories or make up etc.

She's the person that seemingly floats around life and sometimes makes bad decisions, but above all, she's very firm when it comes to her belief and principle. And I really admire her for that.

She can tell what's right from wrong while I'm more... corrupted LOL wtf.

Whenever I have a bias on some topic, I know I can count on her to get the right perspective. She's really wise and reliable like that.

Also loathable, cause I sometimes have to grudgingly agree in the end.

All her life she takes care of lazyass or demanding people and she has a heart big enough for all those people including students, customers, siblings, friends and boyfriend too! Lol.

So because it's her birthday and also because she deserves it , I wish her a lot less of worries and WAYYY much more of happiness and fun.

Toodles and Love :)

She's ENGAGED!!!!!! Ultra Yayness!!!

Hi, there

How's your day? :D
I can't wait for August to come. There's a mixture of anxiety and thrill mixed into one.
Remember how I always complain about hating my job, yadaaa.... yadaa.... blaa... now therefore I decided to put an end to it, for the sake of my sanity and the people around me (because I think my complaint has become sort of a regular for them and it is ANNOYING).
I stop teaching!!!! Whoaa...... ( I wish )
But I do stop teaching a large portion of my students, that meaning letting go half of my normal income. I'm anxious that I'm not gonna make it (financially) thru August or September. At the same time I'm thrilled, however, since I can now declare myself FREE from all that mental slavery. How good that feeling is!!!!

I have always loved August, for some ridiculous reasons. I don't really know why...., but I suppose the eighth month of the year symbolizes luck.
And most IMPORTANTLY, this year's August will be the first August in Fran's life when she will be strutting along with that rock on her finger!!!!!
She's officially ENGAGED, just yesterday!!!!



Congratulations!!!!
And do you see now, the correlation? Eight and Luck? :D :D
She, you bet, is mega thrilled and ultra "kaboom". LOL



The "kaboom" girl. EEYAAAAAKKK............

Now, pictures :



No, we're yet to celebrate her engagement. This is just another going dutch dinner. Next round, your treat, Fran!!!! ( I remember she did treat us some pricey meal when she and Hai officially saw each other). HAHAHA.





" Irasemasen.............Watashi wa engaged-ka. Kawaii, watashi wa. Haiik!!!!" LOL





Both tops and shoes are from Thechicks' Dollhouse.



It's not our fault we exude some sort of quality. Blame the gene!!!



It's certainly not our fault too we're "tall and cute" and "petite and cute". Again, blame the gene!!!!



It's not her fault she's jubilant. Blame the camera!!!!



It's not my fault you feel like puking after reading this post. Blame your inquisitiveness and your eyes!!
Adios, everyone :D :D
