o51. Sorry boys, girls only :P

My last post has inspired me to blog about fashion. Haha here's another.

My Top 6 Fashion Wishlist/Musthave
This is just basically what I feel every girl needs in her closet now. I say now, because I know trends can fade or grow tacky and all that, so yes. To avoid future embarrassment, I say NOW :P
And I say wishlist because some I do not have yet. *hint* :P


1. Bodycon / bandage dresses
Bodycon.

 
Bandage dresses


 

I think these dresses really accentuate your curves, and they're fun to wear :)
It's not slutty, but it's not boring, that's for sure.
I can't get enough of bodycon dresses. Five is simply not enough, trust me on this!

2. Oxfords
I do not own even one pair of Oxfords! :'(

 

These will make your legs longers. Fo' sho'!
So much better than heeled boots, because boots just cut off your legs length. Boo to boots!

3. MaryJanes!
I only have one pair of MaryJanes, in olive green. How distasteful huh! HAHA I want one in black :)

Heeled MaryJanes.
(NiWen thinks heeled MJ's are just.. "wrong". I completely disagree!)

 Flat MJ's.

 
 The MaryJanes I wore in Aussie belongs to my aunt. Do you love it or what! I would get one exactly like that except that it's DKNY and costs like.. RM1000? Mmm. I'm still on the lookout for something which looks similarly like that :)

4. High waisted skirts

(a) Panel skirts


 
(Pics credit to Vivace Cabin)
I don't own any panel skirts, and I blame it on my figure haha. Panel skirts look best on lanky but shapely girls, and I unfortunately am not a size 0 :P Haha but if I have a figure like the model in the picture, trust me; panel skirts would be my number one fashion must have! I love admiring people who wear this, because however you wear it, it just looks equally stunning :)

(b) Tiered / flared skirts
 


 There's a stall outside MPH which sells the most gorgeous printed skirts in the world! The prices are RM59, 69, and 79, according to lengths :) I bought a highwaisted tulip skirt in Parkson recently during the sale, and it was about RM60 after discount. It's absolutely versatile, and you can either dress it up for the night, or dress it down for classes :)
I recently bought the one in the first picture from Oh, popsicles! Blogshop. It's absolutely gorgeous! Lovelovelove it :)
I also bought the one in the second picture above, from Dudes & Duchess Online Shop. It costed only RM32 with postage! Cheapest I've seen so far, so definitely a bargain. There are two more left in this blogshop, so get it quickly if you want!
 Honestly, I do not know if this is a phase for me, or am I still going to wear all my highwaisted skirts in 5 years time, but for now, I am loving it! :)

5. Leggings / Jeggings
There is an endless debate about jeggings (JEANS OR LEGGINGS?!), and I fully support the invention of jeggings! Brilliant, I say.


Studded leggings.
 I want this so badly, it's not even funny :P

 
I want these really badly too!
How comfy are they?! Gosh, it looks so unique and awesomeeee *googly eyed*

 
Okay these are just skinnies. Sorry :P Aren't they stunning though!

 Leggings are a must have in every girl's closet. Definitely. I think I own five similar black leggings alone lol.
You can wear literally anything with leggings haha :) It's a life saver.

6. Hairbands
Haha this picture is so cliched, and it's been everywhereee!
I, for one, am obsessed about hairbands, and I own almost 60, haha. "But you only have one head!" - Tim.
My favourite in the picture is most definitely the one in the middle, the yellow one! :)
It's such a fashion statement, and I wear a hairband everyday without fail. Haha obsessive much? :P

o50. Who's your style icon?

This is my first time blogging about well, style and/or fashion, so yes I'm quite tongue tied now. :& Okay here goes. :P

For me, I've never liked blazers, jumpsuits, anything leather/faux skin, but since the beginning of last year I was really into mmm, the edgy and more in-your-face kind of style haha :S I've been trying to give my wardrobe a makeover, and am still in the process (Aren't we all? :P) haha. Last month, I bought 6 high waisted skirts in two weeks. There are only a few things a girl can't control, but shopping is most certainly one of them! Can I get an 'Amen'? :P


 

MIROSLAVA DUMA
I don't know much about her, but as I've gathered, she's Russia's It Girl now :)
Apparently, she's the editor of Russia's Harper Bazaar? Some say Australia, but she doesn't look Australian to me, so I doubt that haha :)

 
I love this top and her hippie headband.
(I will never pull off the hippie headband look. I guess you just need that face, and unfortunately, I do not have it D: But how gorgeous are people with hippiebands?! So effortless & chic.)


 
This is so edgy, without showing off much skin. I love the silent elegance about this :)


I'm pretty sure this little tote is Chanel, because I loooove Chanel's vintage collection. Mmm :)

 
HOW EFFORTLESS DOES SHE LOOK?!
I really don't know whether to hate or love her :\ I love this hoodie, and how she styled it in such a way that it looks fresh from the runway.


I am in love with too many outfits of hers, but I HAVE TO SAY, that this is my absolute favourite, hands down :) I love this Hermes tote, and how she paired up a Missoni semi-trenchcoat-looking top with just plain solid stockings. I love this whole look :)

Damn, I just reread my whole post, and I've used the word 'love' nine times. No, I am not suffering from a limited range of vocabulary. She is definitely my style icon, for now at least :)
I know I seem obsessed, but it's perfectly acceptable (hahanot) in this case lollol. Especially when she's only 25, but has gained excess as a regular at fashion weeks held all over the world. And tell me, does she not rock the frontal fringe?! Not many people can pull that off, I'll give you that.

o49.

Just before I start, let me just give you a heads up that this post will be a series of a disordered, UNchronologically ordered, & disorganised (is it disorganised or unorganised? :S) pictures, short passages & captions mess.

#1.
I have a new toy. :D I had this when I was like seven, and labelled everything in the house. But I couldn't find it, and when I saw it at MPH two weeks ago, I had to get it! :D I was so excited.
You probably don't understand my excitement, but really I am an easy girl to please! Give me a permanent marker and I can be occupied for an hour 0:) (Only ShuMei understands my markerpen fetish :P) I played with this label-maker thing for 2 hours consecutively, even during lunch :S


My new toy :)

 
See, you can even change the font! :O *in awe*

 #2.
Lately, I'm into painting photoframes!
I got these blank wooden photoframes in Melbourne for a really cheap price. But WeiSern helped me check, and you can get the same price at Ikea in KL as well :)


Made this for NiWen when we got into a bad argument few days back.

 
Made this for Steph just because :)


*did you notice the stained & grunge effect at the borders? How awesome does it look?! Looks a million years old :)

#3.
Things I do in class, especially Chem because I really can't be bothered about buffer solutions and pH/pOH changes.

 
Joey's shirt.

 
Teeheeee :D

 
Draw on Steph's plaster.


 Doodle on each other's hands.
*Omg. We do this everydaaaay. It's like.. a routine lol*

 
Biology inside joke :P
A podocyte is what lines your.. something in your PCT (I forgot what that stands for) in your kidneys.
Gosh, my Biology knowledge is beyond amazing :P



I love this picture! :)

#4.
My Facebook is now in French :D



 

Je suis deconcerte par la traduction. :S Mais oui, j'apprends lentement :)
Je t'aime, lecteurs!

o48. Imma be the flyest chick, Imma be spreading my wings.

WEDNESDAY (Two days ago)
Went for a spa retreat with WeiSern @ HerbaLine, Gurney. His Mom gave us a treat, hee. Is she extremely nice or what! :D
It was a package deal, which was inclusive of :
1. A foot scrub/exfoliating thing,
2. A facial with extractions and steamer,
3. An arm & shoulder massage, and
4. A fish spa treatment *was super excited for this haha!* :D



 
The exfoliating thingy. It was exactly like the one at the pedicure place I go to, Nails Hansen :)
[[Sern looks super excited about washing his feet :P]]

 

I couldn't take pictures of the facial and everything, because we were supposed to turn our gadgets off (considering it's a spa-like atmosphere). We were separated into individual facial cubicles/rooms, and were required to change into this.. sarong-like garment. Awkward moment there.. heh heh. :\

[ Facial person ; Me ]
*gives instructions in Mandarin*
Mmm.. Am I supposed to wear this?
*nods*
Okay thanks
*closes curtains*

After 30 seconds,
Am I supposed to remove my clothes?
Yes Miss.
Oh.. Err am I supposed to remove my bra?
No, it's okay. You can leave it on.

See, folks. Lesson to be learnt : Never be ashamed of asking! :D
Imagine I just took everything off. She'd be like whoah eager/desperate much? :P

Anyways moving on, the whole facial + massage was good, except the extractions. I'd prefer & stick to my normal facialist, as I've been to her for a long time and she'd know my skin type, conditions and stuff. Whereas the beautician here does the same procedure for everyone, I reckon.

 
My favourite part of it all :P

The whole thing is definitely relaxing and the aromatherapy & music certainly made the atmosphere more exclusive. I would (and did) recommend people there, especially people aged 12-19! There's an ongoing promotion for teenagers which only costs RM48/pax :)
It's worth it, trust me. Can't get any cheaper. Go with friends for more fun :D
Have already planned to go with Belle & Steph soon! :)

o47. Tennis!


Short post :)
Haven't been playing tennis for a long time, slightly more than a year! :O
Went for a short one-hour game yesterday morning with XiaoWen, NiWen and KheenHo (the CHARM cheerleader!).


 

  My awful serve!

 

 
 KheenHo in action.

 
 The girl who can play tennis with her hair down.
Haha I would be so irritated + my hair will be all over the place,
hence my unruly physical appearance :P

 

 

 
 Group pictures :)
(PS/ KheenHo thinks he looks like Bruce Lee. I had to google BruceLee to see what he looks like. And I pretty much agree! :P)

Oh by the way, KheenHo & I won 3-2 over my two sisters! Yay :)
