pre-finance midsem shopping

I'm supposed to be at home studying today, but instead... I woke up late today, used the internet, ate lunch, went out shopping, ate more food, did some more shopping, ate more, and came back home and switched on the laptop. Yeah, I'm screwed. Big time.

Went to Zara for the second time during their current sale period. First time I got a dress and a top for myself and this time I got myself a pretty ruffled skirt. Tiered and ruffled. Wheee~~ I really, really really wanted to get this pair of sexy sexy clogs slash mules. They costed me a silly RM 189.90 and went on discount for RM 169.90. ):

Can't find an exact image of how it looks like. Combo pics, use imagination. :D

Looks like the shoe on the left, covered up fully in the front and lower at the back. (looks more like a slip-on)


like this, without the slingback and it's a wedge. Also it brown colour (like above)


left: top left
right: bottom right (looks superduper similar except no studs and brown coloured)


something like what tricia is wearing cept no buckles, brown and wedges. also slightly higher.



if i ever get the chance to find the picture of the shoe, imma post it up.the wedges were slightly unstable, just.. slightly :)

its not wrong to want inspiration

I've been having these huge lot of tabs open on my browser for days and I don't know where or how to fit them in together. The the biggest problem for a blogger is not finding what to blog about, but more of how to fit these things that you've found so that you put more of yourself into the post and don't look or sound like you're a lousy reblogger.

So anyway I really have no idea how to fit them, but this way. for now. If I find a better way I may remove those bits out, but for now.. :)

Inspired by..

Martine






my all time favourite illustration as a kid. i googled it and apparently there are LOADS of books on it. I owned the translated version in Bahasa Malaysia (the original is in French) and there are less than 20 in the translated series. :(
Fun fact, according to The Forbidden Planet's Blog, the late Michael Jackson apparently had a thing for Marcel Marlier's Martine illustrations and the quoted his artwork as:

"Marlier’s art has always been loved by young girls and loathed by their parents for their combination of almost photo-realistic rendering and sugar-coated sweetness."

"The stories themselves are typically non-threatening and quite sociologically conservative and conformist in nature, placing them, along with Barbie, right in the firing line of many a generational class in so-called progressive households in the 70’s."

Yeah, she's my version of Barbie doll.. in drawings ;) pretties illustrations ever.♥
Oh btw, in the Malay version, Martine is known as Martini. :D

Heapload of Lolita-inspired Cuteness

Orange Caramel - Magic Girl MV Teaser


Orange Caramel (오렌지캬라멜) - 마법소녀 (Magic Girl)
o_o didn't know After School could do this, kinda freaky at first. Luckily the clothes were not on Gah Hee or else.. eck! culture shock. Apparently they are going to have more divisions and this Orange Caramel targeted at the Asian market. Wonder if its gonna work. It even comes complete with the lolita hats, puffy dresses, splash of pink, glitter and bows ._. The Koreans are turning more Japanese by the day.

Plus, the ending of the video reminded me of Maryna Linchuk in the Miss Dior Cherie ad from 2009
