106 posts-thank you!

Looks like I’m back to being MIA from the blog. But to be honest, nothing particularly exciting or interesting is happening at the moment, not that anything exciting or interesting happened while I made all my previous posts!!

Anyway, I’ve decided to put a little hiatus on my blog while I focus on other things such as PhD applications and in my opinion, a more exciting personal project that I’ve been putting on hold for way too long now. While it was pretty fun blogging about my silly shopping sprees and attempting to fill my life and wardrobe with fun and pretty things (I STILL need more shoes!!!…and bags *ahem*) , the need to see my other projects come to life is finally getting to me and I need to start working on them STAT! Hence the MIA from my blog. So, thx for reading, see you soon and big hugs! xxx

…..Dear God…

Why….why can’t I be this pretty!! (>_<)

That said…ANDREJ RAWKS!!!!! love!! *heart*!!!!!!

Tods

I want these shoes….I really really wany these shoes…note my emphasis on WANT but not NEED…hence…they are not in my closet. Well, to be fair…I’m pretty broke anyway as I have mentioned before, but!! Danya my merrimental friend *heart* got them

JUst because we love suspense!

AREN’T THEY SUPER CUTE!!!????  Classic Tods ballerina! I really love the colour!! So summery happy and bright!!

I think they definitely make any outfit pop!!! What do you guys think??? They also have it in peach and was it yellow??? If I’m not mistaken??? Oh, just so you know, they don’t have these colours in the boutique in sloane street but they do have them in Selfridges and Harrods… so go forth and shop my lovely fellow shopaholics and well, shoe addicts…TODs addict…

Also, I just had 2 very lovely friends over visiting as I hurt my back pretty badly and haven’t been able to move around much. Thank god for friends who are medics!!! I couldn’t get myself into A&E and the both of them managed to pressure another medic friend into coming to see me!! hahaa! Well, he was going to anyway but he came earlier than I expected thank god!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

We LOVE Darimeya!!

OK, well at least I do anyway. It’s been ages since I popped into Darimeya and whenever I go to Kingly Court in Carnaby I always make it a point to pop in and say hi and try to catch Nicky and gang and well yes, browse through their lovely dresses! I used to work there during my MSc and it was a pretty eye opening experience for me in some ways and more importantly, it was fun!! Nicky was even kind enough to allow me to deisgn a dress which was featured in the Metro and was pretty popular (at least I would like to think it is!) . Anyway, so Darimeya will always have that little space in my heart and I’m a loyal customer! So, obviously, when she told me they just opened a boutique in Portobello, I was SUPER SUPER excited as its just minutes away from me, on the bus but hey!!!!!!! Mind you I travel for 3-4 hours a day now so getting to central can be a real drag for me and weekends are just mainly ‘me time’ to recuperate from bloody travelling! YES! I still love my job despite the travelling!!

Anyway, I’m sorry I haven’t taken pictures of their little boutique in Portobello but will aim to do so next weekend when my back is alot better (that is another story I might come to later if you are willing to listen!). But yes I did manage to grab little bits of Darimeya home with me and so did Jemima!

Hee hee! Their new cute little bag!

Behold the power of macro of my new Canon ixus 120 is! Pretty damn good! Anyway, like me cute little earrings??? I love all things pearls!! I’m obsessed with them and think they look stunning!! Pearls in general are…yes, apart from diamonds . BUt aren’t they cute?? The little bug I got from Dahlia…another boutique which I’m pretty sure many would know and probably have a dress or 2 in their closet .

On to my new outfit!

Excuse my pissy look but TADAA!!! My new top and skirt!!! Aren’t they cutee!!!!!!!! Especially the skirt!!

It’s a bunny!!!! *HEART****!!! WE LOVE BUNNIES!!! soft cute cuddly ones!! BTW, in case no one has figured this out or knows, Darimeya’s main focus are on prints which they lovingly design themselves .

Just to show you guys the back of the skirt. Its just stretchy black elastic but it works in my opinion. Sort of a nice break away from the super cute print!

I had a bit of a hard time trying to find the right angles to take this picture as I wanted to show you guys the loose parachute-ish structure of the skirt, if you get what I mean, which I think is super cute!! See how it sort of angles out on the hips but its not very structured??

Anyway, so what do you think??? GORGEOUS AND CUTE YES???? Speaking of cuteness, heres my gorgeous friend Jem Jem looking super and I mean SUPER cute in Darimeya:

Damn her and her nice skinny long legs…I love you Jem .. I really do!

So, my next aim will be to take more pics of their new boutique in Portobello and maybe a little question answer session with the Nicky . If I could, I would love to buy all their spring summer dresses as they are sooo chic and  cute and all things puurtyyy!! GAH!!

OK…more Darimeya next time! xxxxx

Tech geek

Yes,

Just because I love my IMAC and well, really, this post is for Monkey  

BEHOLD!!! The beauty that is my new IMAC!!! Thanks to Richard as well! YAY!! Yes, so my new IMAC will be solely for my other personal projects/hobbies, illustrations, manga etc, which I’m very sure Monkey is very excited about . I must say I’m pretty broke but my laptop is sort of crashing haha and the last thing I want is to lose my precious works! Yes, I do save them in an external thingy but well…better to be safe right??

And also, my sister just told me I will be getting a new camera????? Like a panasonic lumix GF2?? …..OMG!!! She tells me this now???? After.. I got myself a camera….    little yay??? WELL!! URGHHH!! FINE!! I don’t know if she’s pulling my leg and well, if she isn’t, I don’t know when I’m going to get it anyway coz I’m all the way here and family are 13 hours away in KL! GAH!

Lovely panasonic lumix …wowwwww!!

Anyway well, really, on to justifying my little camera: I got myself a camera because I needed to take lovely pics and update my blog (which I do at snails pace anyway *cough*!), I was going to save enough money to get an SLR ( eeekkk!!) therefore I thought I would just get a cheaper one for now till I actually do get an SLR…can’t live without a camera right???? , AND FINALLY!, it was pretty cheap! sooo…

TADAAA! I got it for £70 off ebay with potage/packaging etc. I know it pales in comparison to the panasonic but its a pretty nifty little camera that does its job even on bloody auto! I was very pleasantly surprised! haha! My old one was clearly super ancient and anything else would’ve probably been sooo much better anyway!!

Anyway, this is manufacturer refurbished and I had to bid for it (-_-)..oh the joys of bidding!! I lost out on 2 blue ones but I guess the black one isn’t so bad…I just have a hard time finding it in my bag thats all!!!!! But yes, my colleague Juliet (who’s on her honeymoon like NOW!! yay!! CONGRATS!!) suggested this camera when I was moaning about needing to get a new one and well, she sent me the link on ebay and tadaa! I have a camera! Oh, its like a Canon outlet on ebay btw…if Im not mistaken..if you want the link let me know .

So anyway, expect more pictures and possible illlustrations as well! That aside, to feed my inner geek, I still need to complete FF13, play dissidia, wait for FF13 versus…KH3…list goes on..

BTW, Jie, OMG!! You’re getting me excited about the panasonic camera!! EEk! Are you lying??? I’m going to be soo upset if I don’t get it now haha! TAA! xx

Biological peel Kiehl’s

HI! OK, just a reminder of what I’m actually talking about, This peeler thing I got three weeks ago??? Remember?? When I was moaning about my face?? Yes, I’m pretty sure you do. Anyway! So what did I think of it?? I’ll be honest and say I’m not too sure although I think it worked pretty well. Although I did use it on average 5 times a week for 2 weeks instead of the recommended 3. Hey! They did say 3 or more! So you apply it after you wash and tone and before you put your night cream on. Of course, you wait till its completely absorbed by your skin which might take awhile, its got this really silky feel to it so you might feel like it’s taking forever!! Well, I certainly felt that way! HAHA! And then you just wash your face with warm water the next morning .

So…..why am I unsure?? Well, for starters, whats the average skin renewal process??? Dermatologists!! Please answer this question!! I think the product might have ‘sped’ up this process but hey, I wouldn’t know, I might just be seeing things I want to see. So ok, my skin did look alot smoother and you can see bits of epidermis drying up, or it could have been dried product on the skin in the morning….I don’t know..

And so…things to think about, maybe just doing it for 2 weeks isn’t enough to see the expected results. Again, natural skin renewal process to think about, and really I didn’t have a control to base my results on, so I couldn’t compare the ‘naturally fading blemish’ with ‘Kiehl’s applied blemish’ if you get what I mean. Also, unless I get 2 spots or something at the same time that dries up at the same time, I’m not going to get completely accurate results am I?? Anyway, and many others…I might pass it on to another friend to get an opinion!! So, maybe more updates later? Or rather, just what she thinks about it.

So should you get one? I’m not sure if it really helps reduce blemish but it sure does make the skin smoother and sort of ‘glowy’ . Any other thought on people who have tried this would be great.

Oh, yes, the spot corrector is pretty good too. It kinda tingles and you kinda want to scratch it when it does but it does dry up the spot pretty well! Spot dries up average within 2 days! I applied morning and night! But I must say, I still love my Burt’s Bees natural targeted spot treatment more!!

Taaaa for now! xxx

Royal Wedding etc

Congrats to the happy couple!! I think they look lovely!! And what can I say, her dress is AMAZING!!! Its the exact design I had in mind for her and she looks stunning!!!! And Im so so very glad Sarah Burton was the designer of the gorgeous dress!!!! I absolutely love her!!!

Anyway, my girlies and I are going to Oxford st for some food and shopping..I really really need to shop!!! Although I keep on telling myself I shouldn’t as I’ve just geeked out on technology!! IMAC!!! For starters, a new software and a game for my brother…and now the all important…CAMERA!!

I’m really sorry guys!! For the lack of posts and pictures!! My camera as I’m sure you are aware, is officially dead!! And I’ve been trying to get a new one of Ebay for awhile and heck! I hate auctions!! I just want to get a good decent priced camera for now till I actually get to buy an SLR…yes, that would set me back £400++ ack!!

Anyway, next post up is the review on the peeler thingy from Kiehls I got abotu 3 weeks ago!!
