Please Stop...

I know that this cyber space lacks the protection of our exclusive rights. I mean, when we can simply use a nickname and hide our real identity, well wouldn’t it be easy as well to just use other people’s artwork without permission? You know, as if I can hunt them down for real and take legal action. Hmmphh…I wish I could. Well, I can actually....but....never mind....heheh. So, knowing all the consequences, I should have realized that these sort of things will occur when playing in the world of internet….

Nevertheless, knowing all the realities one can face, I still get pissed after so many times spotting my artwork on someone else’s page. It’s like…”Man!!! What the..!??”

I found this girl using my photo as her friendster background…how sweet…in a way…

Origami Skirt

My frequency of shopping is higher than the times I actually go out dressed up. As such, my favorite items are usually left unworn. Like my black origami skirt that I adore so much…it’s been hanging inside my closet ever since I bought it and waiting for the chance to be finally introduced to the world...hehhe...

Anyhow, I am very much inspired by the Olsens, that I’ll probably wear the skirt in Ashley’s way.


I guess I'll need to buy these...

Affordable Christmas Gift Ideas

Now that the holiday season is upon us in full force, so is the time for last minute Christmas shopping. Thats right, we cannot prolong it anymore. Typically the gifts we have left to buy are for those who already have everything they want (that we can afford anyway). So what else is there left to buy them? Well, here are some ideas:
Something pretty and cute, like these floral knit ear warmers and colored leg warmers from Urban Outfitters. Personally even though they are not that expensive, I wouldn't spend too much on such items that I may or may not wear next season. But if it were a gift....then I definitely wouldn't mind! I especially love the floral ear muffs! Is this a strange train of thought on my part? I also wouldn't mind getting more basics in different colors. Namely, opaque stockings in bold colors (black, purple, pink, maroon) and quality plain colored tees, like this one from American Apparel. One can never have enough of these! (especially the stockings which always runs!)
Catering to vanity, we have this very pretty mirror from UO (though personally I'd like one of those SERIOUS vanity mirrors with the light surrounding it). Then there is this set of photoframes. When I get to design my own room, I aspire to have a wall of simple photoframes just like this with pictures of fashion inspiration, artsy photos I've taken, my family and my friends. This set is also from UO. As much as I don't really like the quality of UO apparel, I DO love their furnishing and bits and pieces. They are all so funky, funny and cute, yet affordable. They make the perfect gifts!
More photo related things, there is this photo clutch and this snow globe frame. I LOVE the snow globe frame. I bought two this season and lugged it all the way across the Atlantic.
Another thing I wouldn't mind receiving would be a fun board game like this Grey's Anatomy and I've Never board game. A few months ago, I would've scoffed at the idea of board games as something little kids played. But after a really quite excellent house party this Thanksgiving, I'm a convert of board games. Its a great way for a large group of people to bond and have fun.
Gift cards is also a very good idea. As unpersonal as it sounds, it really is the best thing to give if you have no idea what the other person wants. Better let them get something they like than get them something they don't like that will end up cluttering the back of their closet. Choose a store they like, and if you have no idea what that is, department stores like Bloomies and Saks are a good idea. For the younger generation who shops online, Shopbop is also has gift certificates. Ok, so this might not be exactly THAT affordable, but it does come in different price ranges!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Those Happy Tights

Playing with colors is certainly not a sin. But when you’re wearing colored tights, do keep everything else but the tights black or neutral-colored, please. You may go wild sometimes, but for me, I'll let the tights do the talking at all times…:)

Your True Style

Our laziest times of dressing to the nines and put on something neat actually signify the moments where we in fact present our true style. You know, things that you put on automatically without thinking too much is just who you truly are.

I love to doll up, wearing this and that, but there are times when I just have to rush or don’t feel like putting too much effort on my outfit as I am just going out to drive my mom somewhere. Well, at those regular times, I always turn to jeans and long-sleeve tops, either shirts or sweaters. I know it sounds boring, but that package is the most comfortable clothes I can ever imagine. Another element, a hat!! You know, to hide the un-brushed hair heheheh…



What about you?? :)
