Beautiful iPod Come Back!

My beautiful iPod is now covered in a disgusting silicone casing.

I freaked out when I thought I found a scratch on it and there was absolutely no decent protective case suitable for an iPod Classic. Why the hell are there so many iPod nano casings but none for the iPod Classic?! Hello shouldn't the mere inclusion of "classic" mean something?!

So yes, desperate I got the ugly silicone cover that will at least protect it from scratches and such and now I feel like I'm holding an extra protective unsellable hot pink condom -___-.

I finally found some decent iPod cases from gerbera designs though.






Anyone out there who knows where I can get any kind of good casings in Singapore, do tell!
I know I could get them at iPod online, but you know, cheaper alternative, heh :).


I feel the desperate need to impress :( or at least be more useful.
I brought work home, I'm just hoping it'll turn out fruitful.

I also seriously need to curb my spending.

iCandy for the Asian Culture Enthusiast

I realise I don't post that much about clothes anymore and was kinda hoping noone would notice, heh. Excuse: WORK *beams and wishes am getting away with it*

ANYWAY.

I really love these asian-inspired pieces from online boutique Asian iCandy.





Now I'm inspired to desperately yearn for a regional holiday. Take me to Thailand, China/Hong Kong, and Korea. And Japan, of course, everyone wants to go to Japan.

HOL-I-DAAAAAAYYY!

Sleep easier on gorgeous sheets

Besides their clothes collection, I really enjoy looking through Urban Outfitter's apartment section.






This lantern is such a great home decorative piece to have.
I don't know how practical this could be but hey, great design wins anytime.

Just recently I was frustrated that I couldn't find the bedspread that matches my quilt cover. So I've had to live with a stripey rainbow bedspread and a modish swirly monochrome quilt cover. And now I've grown to really like the awkward clash.

I suppose when it comes to interior decor I'm just not anal about it. I've always thought a little mess and some personalised mis-coordination has plenty of charm.

Who's a happy bunny?!

Me, me, me!!!

This week has been pretty laidback, the entire office is soo much more calmer and for the first time since I'm there, some of my colleagues are leaving earlier than me! Cool. Then I got stuff!

Perfect wayfarers that do not fall off my nose/rest on my cheeks!

I think I should really go and get the book now.

And bestest best of all...

*HEARTS*
Fina-freaking-ly.
It looks even better than I imagined.
I've just about uploaded my whole iTune playlist into it and I still have A LOT of space.

Now I'm just looking for a decent casing. It's ridiculous how tough they are to find online.

The Asian-ified Mullet

Months back, the ugly mullet found its way into Asian shores and we were lapping it up.
Strangely I dig it as well. Especially ever since I saw this image a couple months back.


This hair rocks because it has the choppy shagginess about it that I really love.
Who knew spikes and soft curls could look great together?

That's Mika Nakashima, some famous Japanese singer apparently. I was trying to describe her to my friends but I really couldn't remember her name. When I got access to my laptop I was trying to figure it out and it was not until some time later that I realise her name is stated clearly at the top of the photo -_-. Blonde moment, much.

Anyway, while trying to describe Mika Nakashima, one of my friends thought I meant Boa.
And then I remembered her fierce do in the Girls On Top video.


Sigh. Again I wish I have a bevy of hair stylists at my beck and call.

I dyed my hair last week which led to pretty disastrous results. Because I felt like I had no life I decided to blondify myself. I don't think I need to go on, do I?

Off to find a more practical hair-do/not-ugly hair colour.

I, for one, am Enchanted.

Watch Enchanted!

Just when you think fairy-tale movies can't get any fresher Enchanted comes along. It's a feel-good movie with subtle jokes and even subtler adult references make this a great movie for everyone to watch.

A great movie that had me memorise the costume designer's name becomes a fashionably great movie. Mona May is the costume designer by the way.

Gorgeous turquoise blue frock with delicate details.
As if the gorgeous costumes weren't reason enough, you should really watch how Giselle [Amy Adams] makes the dresses. Hilarious.

The same dress but with a pretty paper umbrella accessory.

This was the most perfect feminine and flirty day dress that stopped at the knees, too bad I couldn't find a full photo of it.
It's a kind of dress you'd want to picnic in, but you never will because it's too pretty to be blemished.

A more modern aubergine "real world" slinky dress.
I love that it's not expectedly modern black.

Comic relief comes in a strangely charming package of Prince Edward. James Marsden aka Cyclops of X-Men is hilariously entertaining every step of the way. The human form way at least. He can sing as well, awesome.

I don't know why but suddenly I'm paying attention to make-up detailing. Susan Sarandon's eye make-up is the gorgeousness and I like that crown thingy on her head as well.

For the purposes of this movie post, I also caught Beowulf.

I don't quite like it.
Watch if you want to see Angelina Jolie almost naked in animated form *yawns*.

*Off to cut out dress shapes from bedsheet*

Make me Over, Kylie Style.

While reading Pinkisthenewblog the other day I came across this gorgeous photoshoot of Kylie Minogue.

When I saw this particular look, I felt all sorts of inspired.

I literally sucked my breath when I saw this particular look.

I'm unsure if it's the glam rock vibe, or the eye-makeup with the K.I.S.S.-like lightning bolt and unusual orange, or just the gorgeous bold red of it all that has such resonance with me but one thing's for sure. I have to do this look someday, HAVE TO.

Which reminds me, I have a hair post to do and I need to blog about the movies I've been watching.

Needless to say, I'm getting addicted to Kylie's latest single, 2 Hearts.
*warbles and claps to the beat* I'm in love, woooooh! I'm in love, wooooh!

Night!
