Put a lid on it.

Inspirations from tumblr

I think I'm relatively lazy when it comes to doing my hair and I run out of things to do with it.
So hats are the best thing.

Pet hate however is when people take my hat off for me, just as bad as when people put fingerprints or smudges on my glasses...

Spikes, Cubes & Braided Chord.

Late nights, eye bags & sore hands. Why? 

It started with a kind email I received from a reader a few weeks ago asking if I had any more DIY posts after seeing the Ferrero Rocher Flowers I did years ago.  Actually that was my first and only post on DIY!  But anyway, since I had a bit of time on my hands before Uni starts again, I asked my dad to teach me how to braid bracelets. When I first saw the Shamballa bracelets hype online, I was actually not that fussed because dad used to make exactly the same style of bracelets for his shop awhile ago. But he stopped making them because the skin on his hands were cracking from repetitively braiding these bracelets.  I didn't realise how hard & painful it was to make a good one until I made my first one. Well done Dad.

Since I love mixing up my wrist accessories, I thought I'd make a few for myself.  A few turned into a couple more as dad brought out different types of beads and different colour chords to experiment with: spikes, cubes, aluminium and turquoise coloured beads.

Now here I am with a bunch of bracelets and I can't wear them all.  So I am offering them for sale on my new Etsy Store!  Custom made orders also available if you want to design your own style.  It's very simple right now but I hope to add some new stuff on there soon.

No Naked Wrists

Inspirations from tumblr

This is how I spend my time when my favourite people to hang out with are in either Japan or Hong Kong.  These are some of my favourite wrist accessories lately and I can't wait til winter comes around!     Summer kind of puts me off wearing too much on my wrists & neck - it's just too hot and sticky to be stacking on the chains & cuffs.

Now Pinning.

Pinterest - the next big thing? 

I was hooked within 10 minutes. 

Pinning inspirations on virtual pin boards is a nice concept. 

I prefer Pinterest's grid layout over tumblr's dashboard that's for sure. 

Hope this lasts.

Let me know if you have one too so I can follow!

52 Suburbs

Did your mind just automatically make the links between the pairs of photographs? 

Mine did. 

I was really impressed after seeing photographer Louise Hawson's photos on Geneva's post on a pair & a spare. Louise Hawson from Sydney developed a large following after her project 52suburbs where she spent a year photographing a new suburb each week in Sydney.  She's working on her second project "52 Suburbs around the world".  

With such clever and well though out compositions, I just had to share such inspiring work.  

These are just some of my favourites and it's feeding the travel bug inside me!

New Rider.

Finally got the chance to ride my bike!!! 

Really wobbly at first lol... actually it was really scary trying to take the video and steer up the hill at the same time. Riding fixed gear really burns your thighs... was walking funny the day after.  

So fun :)  Now waiting for Bee to get one to go riding with me.
