Twilight at Vietnam

 

As you can see, I'm real lazy with makeup when I'm overseas.

 

This just reminds me of twilight, don't ask me why.

I found some photos that I took while in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh city. There isn't much to do there, seeing that I went there during Chinese Lunar New Year. All the shops there were pretty much closed, huge disappointment. But, I learnt something, you gotta pretend that you were strolling in the park while crossing the roads at Vietnam. Definitely a significant cultural difference as compared to Singapore!
Ahh, too spoilt by the singapore government. Too used to the fast paced and systematic way of singapore. I'm obviously a city girl.
Words I learnt, pho: noodles? hoa: pork? ca: fish? ga: chicken? bo: beef? they are most likely wrong, seeing that I learnt them while looking at their menu.

OOTD: miss demure-not

 

miss demure-not 

 

I was feeling some feathers, it makes the whole outfit looks, urm, slightly hippy?  

 

 

obviously a candid shot, but i like it.

 

I only have two watches with me, and this is the one I always wear. I've been looking for watches, just can't seem to find my ideal one! ):

 

 

Some leopard prints loving these days, usually, I wear my new stuffs a lot, then I ditch them somewhere, never seeing the daylight again, lol.

 

Outfit:  

Striped vest; rwb

Ribbed tank top; forever 21

Orange skirt; room290

Leopard print pumps

Brown clutch; xquisis

Hype this look at chictopia and lookbook.nu

After I came home, I realised, I didn't draw my brows! /laughs 

Recently, I've been loving the colour orange, or anything corally orange/red/pink. You know, basically that same group of colours. I find myself reaching out for orange skirt, orange top, orange shorts. Even my online buys, I've been choosing orange stuffs!

So, that day, I was having lots of random inspiration, I woke up wanting to wear my orange skirt and leopard prints pump. Then I thought, wouldn't this skirt make me look oldish and office lady like? Not a look that I fancy, so I wanted to change the feel of the outfit, that's when the vest and the necklace came in. Honestly, I didn't expect it to work! When I looked in the mirror, I was like, omg? It worked! Oh, by the way, I love my eyeliner that day, although it makes me looked like I've droopy eyes. ):

Do anyone knows how to rectify this problem? blogger is not correcting my first letter of every sentence, neither is it giving me auto caps for i. all the things im typing doesnt come with any apostrophe(')! its frustrating that ive to manually edit all my "i", "i'll", "i've", "doesn't". UGHH

Shopping Haul: Bugis

 

I'm the kind of girl that loves shoes, but couldn't justify herself buying expensive branded shoes.

  

I don't know is this even considered a shopping haul. I think some of you would think this is more like a mini shopping haul.

Colour wheel

 

Recently I find myself obsessed with colour combinations. So, I decided to study the colourwheel a little more.
Not much of an update lately, as I fell sick almost immediately after Vietnam trip. Nothing to blog about Vietnam trip either, it was boring, and I didn't bring my camera with me. It's almost as if I expected it to be boring, and of course, I was right about that.
So, what are your favourite colour combinations? (:

Updated: Ikea multi hanger

Previously, I hang my scarf like that, but I realised, there is another way which will look a hell lot neater! So there you go.

 

from ikea, Multi-use-hanger, $9sgd.

I'll be your super hero.

Some events I did during late dec-early jan. I love, love, love the wonder-woman costume! My actual costume that day was actually an Indian woman costume. Which is just meh-ish, cause my neighbour is an Indian, so it's just a common sight to me. I see it everyday, no biggie. But hey! Do you see wonder-woman costume often? (I dunno why I'm explaining)

I spent way too much during the Christmas season because everywhere is having sales! I definitely need more jobs. 

Till then! X

Shopping haul: drugstore and forever 21 Accesories.

Drugstore buys: prices are from drugstore website itself, the promotions I enjoyed back then, likely have ended, since I bought these at the start of dec. I only receive them two weeks ago, due to Christmas, heavy traffic for online shopping and whatnot which causes delay for shipping, blahblah.

Revlon Super Lustrous - Pearl Lipstick, Softshell Pink - .15 oz $7.99

Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips - 20 ea $33.99

Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil, Sable Brown 011 $2.38

Milani Liquif'Eye Metallic Eye Liner Pencil, Brown 05 $6.49

Maybellin The Colossal - Waterproof Volum' Express Mascara, Glam Black 240 $6.39

CoverGirl LashBlast Waterproof Mascara, Very Black 885 - .44 oz $7.29

I MIGHT, "might" being the operative word, do a review on the cosmetics, which WILL take a long while, since my majolica Majorca isn't empty yet. I know, I know, I'm supposed to throw them after a couple of months, they are not good for your lashes once they past a few months old, ya-da, ya-da. But I feel, it's such a waste. =\

That being said, I'm pretty satisfied with my buys except for the Faux Stone Hinge Bracelet; Forever 21, antique clock necklace. Personally, I don't fancy magnetic clasp, also, I feel that the clock is too small, I wanted something bigger. Oh well, any takers?

As for that random nail polish, I just feel that it's really cute! This only cost $2, but for such a small bottle, it's actually not that cheap. Also, because the "cap" is so small and short, I've difficulty with the application. Its not a top coat, just a clear nail polish color, which I'm gonna use on my accessories. So that they can last me longer. (: a little tip for you uh? I didn't use this on my nails, so, no comments on that.

This can be found at any SASA outlet. Cost about $2sgd, I think.

DIY project: collar

So, recently there is a collar craze, and I thought I would just join in. Since they help jazz up outfit effortlessly(almost).

So these are what you would need, sequins, collar, thread the same color as your collar (in my case: white) and needle.

I got the collar from a old white t-shirt my bro owned.

 

From daiso, $2sgd

So, I finished the other heart shape bottle, and bought this one instead. Again, it's not a top coat, it's a clear nail polish which imma use on my accessories not my nails. This is my third bottle, I finished two bottles and yes, I did spammed it on my accessories.

Anyway, this picture is up because I'm in love with anything heart shaped, and I think it's cute. This have nothing to do with the collar above.



DIY project: snow globe

Remember my ikea haul? So these are what the bottles are being used for.

So basically, I used a acrylic sealant to stick the figurine to the cap of the bottle.

 

Spice jar from ikea.

 

Before I stick the figurine, I screwed the cap tight, made a mark with my thumb as seen in the photo. That would be used as my "front", so that when I screw the figurine tight, the figurine would be at the "front". I'm not sure how can I explain this step, the picture could probably do the explanation better.

Baby oil, another alternative to baby oil would be distilled water with a teaspoon of glycerin.

Also, you will need some glitter. These are the glitter i used for my nails on my previous post. Link can be found here.

This is optional. From daiso. $2sgd

This is how it looks like, so if you want your bottle to look pinkish, you can either get a pinkish tint bottle, or, simply add more pink glitters.

This is the sealing tape, I think the brand is turbo, no other packaging came with it. Im not sure where can you find this, Im guessing any hardware/art store. I found this lying around the storeroom rotting away.

I used a sealing tape as a extra preventive measure against spillage.

You can see the white tape peaking put from the cap. This is when the ribbon would come in useful..

I added some more stuffs to the bottles, I was rather dissatisfied with the results, and that might be blogged later. But if you like it simple, you can stop here. 

Till then! X

NOTD

 

I did my nails for the upcoming NYE2012. This is how it looks like, not my best, since the top coat kinda screw it up a little. I'm currently using the Sally Hansen mega shine top coat.  

Sally Hansen have so many types of top coats, which resulted in me getting stuck at Watsons for 20mins, cause I couldn't decide at all! Trust me, if not for I had work later that night, 20mins wouldn't be all I spent. Spoilt for choice is the phrase for it.

The base colour is from thefaceshop $2.50sgd. The glitter are just normal glitter bottles which I got from popular, A&BC(bugis, takashimaya). I mixed black, silver, gold, pink glitter to achieve this effect.

This is another picture of my previous nail, which was done during late nov? Or early dec? I can't really remember, but the base colour is just a top coat from la girl $9sgd.
