One of my weakest...

BAGS!!! How can it not be BAGS??!!?

I buy all kinds of bags, from the most peculiar to the most formal ones, and I made bags too! Apart from those logo-bombarded ones and the super delicate tiny clutches that can't actually hold a thing, I wanna get each and every one of them home!!!

My WANTED bags this season:

im here finally

oh well, PATRICIA LEUNG i am here finally!

i have been being "studious" these days to finish up my VERY LAST ASSIGNMENT for my entire bachelor degree. but i have just completed 2/3 of it. another few hundreds to a thousand to write.

my brain has no capacity for any fashion or whatever recently because apparently i scratched my car the other day when i was parking into the garage (which is pretty stupid actually) and im figuring out the cheapest way to get it fixed. :(
such a mendokusai thing ne. i wish there's just money dropping from the sky from now. T_T

but then i went to karaoke like two to three times last week firstly because of my darling's birthday, and the other two times we just went there for fun. HAHA.

i need some shopping! i want to get a watch because mine's not working. and i want a pair of sunnies..Chanel is a good choice ;) and i just need to eliminate some fat before i buy any tops or trousers/shorts. so perhaps i need to wait till november when im back in 852.


the scratches on my car...some dents too. :(


and a surprise dinner for my darling's 22nd! btw, i love this camelhead. lol


WAGYU BURGER! @ St. Kilda

oh!! and this!!! this is like the coolest thing ive found in the garden. lol.
it was really fascinating to me.



Fake Gems Earrings

This is a super easy peasy project that costs you only a few (HK) dollars. All you need to do is to stick the fake gems and sequins onto a piece of black felt and to do a little bit of cutting.


What you may need to get for this project include:



Earring, hooks, fake gems and sequins. As simple as these!


Procedure:

1. Stick the fake gems and sequin onto a piece of black felt. Place everything in your desired positions and glue them with White Glue. Let it Dry.

2. Cut out the earrings and leave a margin of 1-2mm (upon your preferences). Prick a tiny hole with a pin/needle for easier attachment of the hooks.


DONE!
Oooopsy! Seems that all my entries are about DIYs now... I have been wanting to do some outfit posts but my narcissistic bf is too obsessed with being photo shot by me and is quite reluctant to take photos of me (well... I always think that I am more like the "man" in our relationship).
Anyways, I will try my best to coerce him to be my photographer, but.....HOW!? The only way that pops up in my mind at this moment is to hypnotize him.
Needa get up as early as usual tmr. Good night everyone!

From a Cardigan to a Belt

The birth of this "belt" was inspired by an agnes b belt I discovered the other day at Festival Walk.


The following is another cropped cardi from H&M. I actually love it very much, but I couldn't fit into a size 32 by any means (didn't know why I'd get it...), thus I decided to give it a new look.



You can see how adorable those golden glitters are on the cardi... However, I am gonna give it a cruel cut!





I am using the fabric covering the bottom 3 buttons, given my desired width of the belt and my waist measurement. A cropped cardi is ideal for this project because the bottom part of it is very close to my waist measurement.




Place the fabric on the floor as follow. Leave around 1.5cm at the top and bottom parts of the fabric and draw 2 horizontal lines (i.e. red lines in the picture). Fold the fabric into half, with right side hiding. Sew the 2 red lines together securely.




After sewing the red lines, you will see a fabric tube with its wrong side facing you. Flip the fabric tube over with the right side facing you instead (as follow).




Cut out one of the sleeves and hoop around the fabric tube.
DONE!


NOTE: I keep the buttons and the button holes intentionally because they can be good "buckles" of the belt. You can hide the buttons by adjusting the hoop on the belt.

Star Light, Star Bright

As I gained an extra (sick) holiday, I remade this old cropped cardi from H&M out of extreme boredom.

So what you need for this project are listed as follows:

And not to mention the above plain black cardi.


The whole thing is really easy. Simply sew the silver beads onto the cardigan in a random manner upon your preferences, and it is DONE!

The silver beads that sets in the black cardigan reminds me of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars". Too much influence from my work...HAHA

My Muse: Miroslava Duma

Broad or power shoulders are perceived as the number one not-to-have for petite people. Therefore, I always admire people who can carry dramatic shoulders with elegance.

Miroslava Duma, a Russian fashion editor, is definitely one of those whom I admire.

Should I Get This?

I am thinking of getting this burgundy top from Zara... As they only got a size M so I am still struggling whether to get it or not...



I love the sleeves and the colour, but if I gonna wear it in winter, then the sleeves detail will be gone/hidden under the jacket...Although it isn't very marked-up, I needa be cautious when it comes to buying clothes now.. the clothes inside my closet are SLIDING!!!


Oh! by the way... Priscilla Leung, where are you?!?!!!?!
