A Flair To Remember

I love love love love Nikki, well obviously not in that sense. =P She's very pretty and her sense of style is equally delicate and sweet. Can I also mention that her hair always seems to be so nicely done up, I am jealous. Times like these make me contemplate chopping the lot off. =)I'm glad I randomly found her on chictopia.

One more blog to keep me sane.

Last Minute Queen

I know I just have to post something, if not people are gonna get bored of me, or rather Imma get bored of myself.

Tomorrow is the Grad Show set up and in Last-Minute-girl classic fashion, I'm working thru the night to get stuff done. That's what you get for managing 8 hours of sleep every night before today, no sleep for 48 hours straight.

So what I'm doing is making a visual display for my jewellery pieces. Something fun, whimsical and make people go ... "Ohhh so cute... or OMG WTF." I like both reactions even if they are on the opposite far ends of the sanity spectrum. The theme is: Alice in Wonderland. You know the part where the card soldiers basically start painting the roses either red/white... Can't remember... if not the Queen would chop their heads off. Honestly, you're a poker card, WHO CARES. hehe.


I'll give the lot of pictures when I'm done. And the 2nd picture is one of my designs. Was gonna sell it to my makeup artist but neither she nor I had time to meetup. Sooo... looking for another buyer.

I know its a shitty photo. Will put up the lot soon.

Wish me luck!!

West London

Went to meet my dad today at Gloucester hotel.. He called me so many times in the morning to wake my lazy ass up, though he's kinda come to terms with the fact his daughter is not a morning person, you have to give him kudos for trying to change that. =P

He had brought only food this time round. Packets of Meepok, Maggi Noodles, Sambal blachan and Rice dumplings. Hmmmm... Obviously Yuko, Kevin and I finished the meepok, with Kevin searching desperately for all the pork lard in the bowl. lol.

So I thought, finally I have time to go out with my dad properly in London. Everytime he visited me the last few years, I've been too busy to do much but eat with him . We popped by Harvey Nichols since it was in the West side and I've never been there. Honestly... it reminds me too much of Fenwick. Less boring, but still rather... Hmmm... small and... there's always this issue of displaying too many things in one small space. Hate it! Still love Selfridges the best! After which, we stopped by at Harrods to have pastry and coffee at Laduree (the bestest French pastries in London!!) The interior was sooo beautiful but unfortunately no photography was allowed. *Hmph* My dad and I shared Tart Tartin (Apple tart) and Mont Blanc... Hmm... yums. I convinced him to buy 6 macaroons for 9.50GBP for the rest of the family. Look how pretty they are, and they smell good. I decided I'd go there again for deserts when my dad wasn't around, so held back on getting some for myself. Tee hee.

Highlight of the day: He bought me a new pair of sandals from Massimo Dutti. *Thrills. Been dying to get one for a long long time. Love yer dad!!!

Dress: Yuki (Topshop)
Vest: Japan
Tights: Topshop

Hot Weather

An Ode to Californian weather. London is scorching hot right now, almost similar to a hawt day in Singapore. However imagine public transportation and many shops without air-conditioning.... yeah... a sweltering tragedy. I hate the buses during summer and the Central line as well. Ventilation is crap and you can smell people sitting right at the back when you're right in the front. Totally NOT pleasant.

So I finally got a skirt from American Apparel. After several trips to their store on Carnaby Street during the past few months, I finally decided to get a tee-shirt and a skirt from them. This was after seeing how Rumi looked very good in hers.

American Apparel is definitely ONE thing, comfortable!

Question: How can one girl have so many clothes, but totally nthing to wear!!!

Almost at the end

It's all in the angles! Taking good complimentary photos is all in the angle. That takes skills, talent and f-ing loads of experience of cam-hoe-ing.

Looking forward to my dad coming to London on Monday. That means MONEY!! Finally I can go get my hair coloured and trimmed. I do want long hair back like NOW, but I also don't want it to be a total mess as I grow it out. Tired of black hair, yet my parents aren't keen on any colour, especially when I bleached my whole head ash blonde about 2 years back, so have to op for a dark chestnut brown. They haven't gotten over the trauma of having had a White-wannabe daughter. I don't want to be anything, I'm just f-ing bored! =P Black hair makes me look old, especially when I dress like an OL, I look 25 or something. No offence to 25 year olds, I'm almost 22 and I think at this point, 3 years make a whole load of difference.

So I'm leaving on the 24th of June for Home. Sadly I will be missing the London sale though I think it's actually a great thing to stop me from overspending. I'm trying to pack my room now and gawd, it's amazing what you find after living for 2 years in a junk yard sort of a room. My problem is I like to collect stuff. So it's hard to throw most of the stuff away.

I'm working on my website : Fawn and Fauna which has still only one page up. Yippee!! >__< style="font-weight: bold;"> Zouk Flea Market in August. You MUST come down and get stuff from me, International designers for cheap prices. I am way better than a Vintage store. =P This will prove my efforts of hulling the lot back very worth it.

***Alrighties, 6.29am. Time to take a nap before I head to the art store.***

xoxo y'all!

Final Year Phototaking

Today the final year students had to take a graduation photo, which meant, not much to my surprise, spending about 45 mins of waiting around outside the Cochrane theatre and 1 hours inside doing silly and pretty lame poses.

The theme is CMYK. So most people came in either dressed in one colour (Me! Shoot me, but sometimes I love to be boring), two colours or all of the above. It was pretty neat seeing people all decked up for a photograph. I on the other hand had just woken up, threw on the darkest outfit I could find and went out the door. Knowing how I had to go to work straight after, I didn't bother to get creative. (Should have brought my pirate hat though!!!)

Anyways spent the time socializing with classmates telling them about the BBQ my house is having on Saturday, though the other 3 housemates aren't very aware of it themselves. LOL. Well someone's gotta start somewhere. Hoorahz!

When a girl runs of out money...

When you can't afford something, you make it. Thus, rather than spending about 100quid on a Chanel hairband, I made one, which even included its logo! (Got a pair of "Chanel" earrings from dodgy shopping in Guanzhou and took it apart.) You can take a look at the hairband in the Chanel Website ---> Clothes & Accessories ---> Others. According to Ezra, its pretty damn close to the original. Not that well made, but hey... one can only try. =)

I think its super pretty, though the counterfeit authorities wouldn't be pleased with me. Definitely NOT going to wear it through customs, that's all I'm saying... =P
