Topshop's Recycled Items
Labels:
Fashion Diary
Topshop shows up this week by introducing their new collection of purse and bags made of recycled food bags in Cambodia. As an effort of supporting the environment, yes, it is indeed a noble act. But design and idea wise, hmm, it's not something new. There's a LOT of stuffs like these back in Indonesia. A lot, and way much better...lol.

I believe there is a word for the phenomenon where one learns a new word and subsequently hears that word all over the place. Not that people are suddenly using the word to reinforce one's advancing vocabulary, of course. As they say (to wildly mix a metaphor), when the student is ready the teacher appears - so now all those helpful word-saying people are like the teacher.
Interestingly, I've recently become very aware of all the things about which I've just learned but to which the entire world evidently beat me. This is always happening to me - I am the one at the cocktail party who says something like, "Oh! Did you hear that Al Gore has made some kind of film about the weather?" - not unlike your dear but befuddled great-aunt, the one who can't keep up with the Thanksgiving dinner conversation and in the middle of your nephew's explanation of his first grade art-music-gym rotation shouts, "Who went to prison" just having caught up on the bit about your cousin's wife from hours prior.
The latest parties at which my arrival has been delayed:
1) Beverley Nichols' entire body of garden and kitchen memoir. Nichols was an incredibly prolific writer whose witty takes on everything from roses to parliament are worth staying home to read. In my enthusiasm for Garden Open Today I sent an excited e-mail to a friend with a recommendation and an offer to send my own copy only to receive a "duh, Marsha" in return, along with snippets of messages which I'd apparently received well into the past that made not of the book's popularity among gardeners. Seems like everyone has made Mr. Nichols' acqaintance but me.
2) We've started a new thing we call "family movie night" and once or twice a month we all pile onto the futon with a bowl of popcorn (eating in the family room? Mom's done craaaaaazeeeee) and watch a, well, family movie. Making liberal use of Gnovies I've been able to "discover" new movies in the way that only a person who hasn't set foot in a cinema in six-plus years can. Virtually my entire family and most of my circle of friends were astonished to learn that I had not, until recently, ever heard of National Treasure which was a blockbuster of some note quite a while back. It was a really fun film. Total nonsense, of course, but nothing that I (a dedicated devotee of suspending disbelief wherever possible - and even sometimes when it's not) couldn't eagerly embrace.
3) I'd always wondered how the needlepoint bloggers 'round about the web made such cool designs on "blanks" (plain napkins, shirts, pillowcases, or whatever). I made a comment to a friend expressing my total admiration that someone could, say, cross-stitch a three-tone lilac onto a linen handkerchief. How could such a thing be possible, I wondered. How could I have been born so utterly deficient in spacial skills that this is completely beyond me? "Uh, Marsha," said A., eyes a-rolling, "You may want to google iron-on needlepoint transfers." So I did and now I know and am deeply relieved that I have not been denied some kind of handcraft skill bestowed upon the rest of the world. I am also now the proud owner of several iron-on cross-stitch alphabets.
4) Just this week I fell inlove strong like with a slow cooker. A few key changes around the Hot Water Bath homestead meant that dinner times have lately started to become somewhat lacking in leisure and taste. That my sisters have been singing the praises of slow cookers for years did nothing to sway me to adding one to my own kitchen until faced with either making nice with our changing schedules or starting a diet comprised exclusively of stir-fry. I'm a little disappointed with the "pour in a can of cream of whatnot soup" recipes that are out there but my own experiments have been successful enough that my (again, late) enthusiasm earned me yet more eye rolling and "duh, Marsha" from the other moms at preschool drop-off.
For my next trick, I think I'll call my mom and tell her about this great new television show I've discovered. They take a two teams of people and put them at some remote location, where they compete in all kind of immunity challenges and stuff. It's really neat!

Still here, just a little cranky and perhaps a wee bit fluish.
Back soon with tales of my new slow cooker (yes, I caved), treating my windows, pumpkin butter v. 2, non-killer toys, how I know that I don't have a big mouth, and the search for a piano.

D-I-Y Sweater

,Fashion Diary
I heart my rugged wear-to-sleep sweater cuz it's very comfortable to wear, and just thought that this old piece deserves some magic...
So here I am, at night, thinking of what to do to this sweater. I had no stock of beads nor ribbons whatsoever, so I just utilized some unused buttons, and my very own made skull brooch... tadaaaaaa......
Hehehe....I don't know what you guys might think, but I'm pretty happy with the result...
Time to give a new theme for your old clothes, people!!

Casual Posh
Labels:
Fashion Diary
I have this black shiny skirt which I assume will go flawlessly with my new boots. I'm still thinking though about what to wear for the top, while at the same time trying to avoid the typical style celebrities seem to be pulling off lately. (Typical: a kinda loose plain black, grey or white shirt, a bowtie shirt, etc.) So, rather than going for those elegant looks, I'm thinking of making the seem-to-be formal skirt and shoe a bit more casual, like this:
(Clothes from Topshop's new collection)
Killer add-ons for this outfit: Tied-up hair, and (transparent-colored frame) geeky glasses. Tell me what you think...:)

A Tribute to Ashley Olsen
Labels:
Fashion Diary
I woke up today in a very different feeling. Had a morning smile, something I haven't had for the past few weeks. Haaa...well, this is life people. Whatever problems you got, life doesn't come twice. I guess my life has never been so complicated before that I'm actually feeling so blissful to ever go through such a phase now. Here I am, blabbing. Lol. So, yeah, I feel lighter, just wanted to share with you all....:)
A n y w a y , feeling jumpy in the morning, I kind of like went through my clothes and just realized that I had such a suit which somehow looks similar to The Row's collection. And it's been a looooong time since I took photos of me and my outfit, so why shouldn't I do that today? Hehehe...here I am, pulling off an Ashley look. Would lovvvee to wear this sometime, but I guess I'll be wearing some stockings in real life cuz I'm not daring enough to wear such short skirts.
Since Intan wanted a larger pic of the outfit..here it goes heheheh...

High Waisted Me
Labels:
Fashion Diary
Even though I've stopped my shopping activities for this month, I do still have some stuffs in mind that I want to buy. As my current thoughts have always been around getting a job and work, I'm really looking forward to buy some high-waist pants (or skirts) that are wearable as office clothes. I really regret the opportunity of a perfect Topshop high-waist pants back then, as the color was grey, my favorite for office pants. I missed it, too bad. They're not available anymore.
Anyway, these are some inspirations of how I'm gonna wear my soon-to-have high-waist pants/skirts for work.

The Oxford
Labels:
Fashion Diary
I've always fallen for boots...and this season the oxford boots seem to be a must have....
(Original pic scanned from Diva Magazine)
As you can see from the pictures above, these kind of shoes more often than not fall under high-end brands which are awfully expensive. If you go for the cheap ones, they usually feel uncomfortable or even painful as this type of shoe fully covers your feet and comes with very high heels. As such, the type of material and how the shoe follows the curve of your feet becomes a very big deal. Hunting down these boots, therefore, have been quite upsetting for me. It's sooooo hard to get a good one that goes along with my budget as well. But again, wishes do come true..sometimes... hehehhe. I finally got one from Promod which was lovely, and most importantly, affordable. Yayyyy...:) The oxfords I got has this mannish classy look which I love love love love love.
Up till now I've only wore it once. Walking around for about 2 hours with this shoe was surely a pain in the ***. Baahhh!! I hate high heels huhhuh....but it's okay, I'll practice myself for this killer boots...no pain, no style. Heheh...
