LETS GO GREEN :D GREENVIRON!


yes go green, but please, not the way this couple did. they had a SHREK WEDDING. ohmygod.

your wedding pictures are of the both of you as... ogres.

come on really?

even shrek would be like.

BUT yes green is cool!

if we continue killing the earth as we do now beast boy will attack you in your beds
rawr.


i'm a huge fan of eco-friendly fashion

so imagine my happiness when i found this store!

its located along River Valley, next to Kay Poh Rd.

100% Recycled Plastic Bottle T-Shirts!!!

how cool is that!

windows full of eco-friendly products!

GREEN SHIRTSSS
GREEN PENS, PENCILS AND COLOUR PENCILS!
me posing -_-"
tried on the shirts, i bought this one! $40ish i think, this was awhile ago so i forgot.

k problem with the shirts are that they are meant for japanese people, which needless to say are TINY people, so the shirts were
a. too small for me
b. too short for me
c. wrongly proportioned for me

but i still bought the black one for support!
its abit hot to wear (100% plastic hellos) but bearable if you're wearing it in a mall. its not as comfortable as cotton but really, i don't mind. GO-ECO!
shirt colours!
interior of the store, ebel is standing right there :D
other eco-nonsense that i spent money on lol.
so here is one of the things i bought, a pencil made from newspaper! so much smarter than using trees right?
quite obviously its from china, harhar. chinese newspaper. imagine how much newspaper waste they must have with a population like that D:
and you get this like marble (?) effect when you sharpen it, it comes in HB and 2B i think.
i got the 2B ones cause i like using darker pencils, they come in a set of 3 for about... $1.50 to $2.50 which is like damn affordable can! considering how Eco-Friendly is never Wallet-Friendly.
ECO STAPLER, doesn't use bullets at all!
though i do question how long they would last being "stapled" together in my bag which is full of rubbish.
range of pen/pencil/colour pencil products :D
the pen is super cool, it comes in black and blue, instead of the plastic exterior, its cardboard.
i actually like the look of the pens more than the pencil, but apparently i seem to have forgotten to take pictures of it, again it comes in a set of 3.

of course you have your standard "save the planet" tote which i find... not that pretty, and tbh its abit too small to put much in. groceries....?

then they have these little capsules with fish and shrimp, you don't ever have to feed them and they last anywhere between 5 to 10 years (again i'm abit rusty on details)

i like this one :D
and then! into the backroom,
this is some system for industrial waste or if you have a landed property.
all the atas people love their money plants yes?
this one is gross, all your waste goes in there and worms multiply and JUST DAMN GROSS LA. and they pick up the remains for you or smth. i asked how many worms were inside this one he said about 1000. ONLY 1000, whew.

EEEEEEE.

me: what happens if they get out?
guy: won't happen la.
me: *skeptical.
*pose.
me outside with my new stuff, ebel's brilliant photo timing.
better picture.

i'm a sucker for packaging:
its just black and white flipped over, but hey its a paperbag! which i will probably use to return stuff i borrow from people (hint* karen)

gogogogogo down to GREENVIRON :D

and buy stuff to help the economy and save the environment!

two way win right :D

outfit post

what i wore when i went out with kyna to ion,
pearly bangles, a mix from the bunches you can get at fareast for $10
dress from miss selfridge, bought a longgg time ago, about $70?
+dear old converse.

-
you may have noticed, my hair is purple in the GREENVIRON post

yes. well. it was a mistake, i'm back to pink nows.

-

that day i went out with ebel we were looking for winter wear for her because she was leaving to lithuania (i've never heard of it either) for 6months, by the time i blog this she would have already left D:
so we went to damn alot of stores, departmental and all, ALL CANNOT FIND CHEAP WINTERWEAR, finally went to a store in Lucky Plaza, recommend by a sales clerk and ebel's mom.

really exists sia. me and bel were skeptical.
huge range!
AND NOT EXPENSIVE, cheap good one goes for about $100SG?
:D
and then i found this one. heh heh.
trust me to go for the pink one. DAMN CUTE ZOMG *DIES.
$100!
camwhored abit.
fine. alot.
but seriously i would have bought it. IF i was going to a cold country which i'm not. D:

anyone wanna bring me?

in the end ebel settled for this one in a stable colour *cough. boring. but still better than black.

i told her to get pink but she firmly rejected.

i guess not everyone wants to look like a puff of candy floss.
.

I wonder why?

Universal Studios! and what I wear.


these are old pictures that i was supposed to blog but never got a chance because my desktop, which is my means of photo uploading was being PMS-y.

what i wore to Universal Studios with my ex-classmates, it was my second time, so i diedie had to be comfortable but i knew i would just melt in the sun. FYI, i hate the sun, it is my mortal enemy, you wouldn't catch me willingly in the sun.

wearing,
pink sleeping top from juicy couture $60 (gift)
black shorts from bugis street $40, i love these shorts, go with everything, perfect length and infact i'm wearing them now as i blog!
my bow was the one i bought and showed in one of my previous entries
studded bracelet i bought from HK for my mini collection.

my shoes for the day was just my beloved black converse.

unrelated to fashion:

HELLO KITTY, unrelated but too cute to miss out on. heartharbourfront.

KOI LOVE. okay i know its unrelated, but its KOI. nuffsaid'
getting it is so irritating, the queue etc. tbh i like each a cup better. but hey, bubble tea is bubble tea. nomnoms.

love gina's tote bag. gosh tote is such a general term.

--

and this was what i was wearing to meet brendan when i went to chinatown, i think in search of fabric :S
the bracelet was a present from my grandmummy
necklace birthday present from gina
top from bershka $40
shorts from bugis $40
flower in hair, previous post, about $13

i realise i don't dress like a fashion god, i'm all for comfort sooo. yes. i do love to accessorize tho!

i believe fashion should be comfortable. although i would try to squeeze myself into a Mr.Pearl corset anyday, KEYWORD: TRY.

yes. TRY.

-

so school has been hectic. blahblahblah.


shelvin and i slave away in class, can you spot the pink jeremy scott bag? its behind the LV one lol.and this is what my class looks like, you can see my jap hotstuff classmate sayaka walking.
and this is my phone. bored moments. do note that MOST of these trinkets broke off my phone D:

photoshoot pics with karen are still pending. will post when they come up :D

ciao

i have searching for inspiration like mad on the interwebz. so while this was going on i obviously stumbled upon lovely things on style.com

anyhoots, the up coming months are gonna be just crazy, i have plenty of photoshoots along with a trip to HongKong. ALONG with all this madness i will also have to finish up my portfolio as well as complete an 8 look collect by december: DIE LA.

i have in the meantime finally settled on a theme for my collection: Atlantis, how good or terrible this theme is gonna turn out, i'll find out in the next few months.

so in the meantime, eyegasms!

alexander mcqueen fall 08 RTW, even his ready-to-wear looks somewhat couture-ish. iloveyouMr.Mcqueen.

peacocks. i die.
the knit is done in such a way there are no seams and the tutu underneath fits PERFECT. how on earth do you manage that??!!?!? thats just mind boggling.

you take my heart even from the grave.
lovee.

--

my friends would be able to tell you this in a heartbeat, i'm a crazy fool for weddings, mine is already planned out in my head.

and one more thing to add to my list of things i must have for this spectacularly expensive event would be:

spring 2010 RTW Chole

OR. THESE.

fall 2010 Valentino couture

i actually prefer the Valentino, but thats just me. sucker for bling and bows.

--


the lastest dior show was just crazy pretty. flowers and fabric just flowing and. omg. just. GORGEOUS.
AMAZING-NESS. really would die to own that.

how can you not love?

i would honestly wear this dress, anytime. its just. drop.dead.gorgeous.
god. i love/adore/would die for the Vivienne Westwood styled hap-hazard drape and cliched at the waste.
geez, even the petals on the dress has embossment detail for the veins of the petals. sicksicksick love.

Dior Fall Couture 2010.

i wanna die in that dress. bury me with all the tulle and chiffon please. granted i'd have to get a frikkin big coffin if that dream is to be fulfilled.

uninspired.

i have been SO uninspired because i pitched an idea to my teacher and they rejected it and i was genuinely shocked.

these are the kinda images i wanted. the general kinda look.
so. yar. my inspiration was supposed to be about the siren, and the song behind it and and... the beauty but menace that they had. oh fucking well.

see, Gaultier did mermaid back in 08 for spring couture.
but okay, i'll stop bitching.
beautiful no? i love how the 'scales' get larger. and the detail of overlapping sides coming in from the side around the bust is just. <3

i love the umbrella HAHA. but i have to say the colours on the bottom of the dress is pretty!
this I LOVE, the colours, flow styling everything is just. mmmm.
again i'm loving the hem, and also the nude transparency!
ahahha i guess this solves the long debate on how mermaids 'Seal The Deal' they don't actually have tails! they have dresses which they lift up to... Do It. my classmates and i were debating this, one of them said they were like fishes and laid eggs, which opened a whole new can of worms, my other classmate said they unzip their tails (?)

i just personally don't wanna go there ><
my fav outfit from the whole show, tasteful but yet doesn't smother you in mermaid-ness.

-



also! i have been on a project runway marathon, i finished season 3, 5 and 6.
and seriously the level of petty-ness that these people have are like... ridiculous.

i guess i would be the same, but i think i would have to psych myself not to bitch cause i do that SO much even in school.
if i were on project runway, i would gather a following of haters XD

i think Austin Scarlett from the first season looks like someone that came right out of the movie Interview with a Vampire, the really pale, oldish styled person. :D so adorable. ze living dead.
hur hur, RIGHT. abit weird comparing Austin to Tom though. but then again I've never been a fan of Tom Cruise. i'm more a Brad Pitt girl (Team Brad Pitt <3>

damn Jolie, he loves ME not YOU -sniff.

it goes without saying that Brad looked his usual Godlike Self in the movie.

i would totally let him drink my blood anyway, wouldn't you?
