Veins and the city

By saying this I know I run a massive risk of getting chased / bashed / whacked across the head with a Manolo-inspired heel by the throngs of Carrie Bradshaw’s fans. But. BUT! Seeing recent photos of the filming of Sex and The City 2 makes me kinda sad. Not boohoohoo sad, but more of a ”sigh, it’s getting [...]

Scientific Fact for Girls: Tights and Stocking are NOT Pants!

No matter how much they try to brainwash you into believe the opposite!
Shocking Real Life Story: The other day something bad, very bad!, happened to m’ and me on the way home. We were in our car, stopping at a red light, happily minding our own business. On the pavement to our left was this [...]

Blatant self promotion

Have been too lazy taking photos of the things I made lately, not that I’ve got any time to make many. But here’s what happened when I got a lightning moment of motivation. P-zzztt!
You likey?

m’ said to name it “Caged” but I reckon that’s a little depressing. So until I come up with something better, [...]

Style icon? My ass!

Just realised there hasn’t been any rants on fashion for a while now. Not because I’ve stopped wearing clothes. (Well wouldn’t you be glad if that was the case?) But because I’ve been lazy. Plus since m’ and I cancelled all our glossy mag subscriptions and rarely go shopping these days, I guess I’m a [...]

Who needs a scale when you’ve got ao’ dai`?

A while back there was a debate on Mamamia about our love / hate relationship with scales. Which reminded me of Garfield (love that cat!) and his obnoxious, opinionated weighing gadget.  I remembered agreeing with quite a few people on there about using our clothes instead of a scale to gauge our size. We know [...]

Masks

I find it scary how some women, on any non-wedding, non-red-carpet-event, non-Halloween, just an ordinary old day, would find the need to heap on so much make-up — so, so much make-up, maybe about two tonnes? — that it looks like an entire separate entity on its own.

Hangbads

I mean, handbags, of course.

(The Age, October 18, 2008)
Needless to say, I’ve been in awe of Michael Leunig and his works for a long, long time. Always amusing, inspiring, thought-provoking.
Happy Sunday Saturday!

An unlikely fashion icon

You’ll never guess who! This unsung hero who’s been quietly influencing the fashion accessories trends over so many years. And I only found this out after roughly 22 years of intense research hours of bum-ache spent watching Journey to The West!
It’s this guy: Sha Wujing!

Wanna play “Spot the differences”? Ok, look closer, here we go: [...]

Fast fashion of a different kind

I’d have to apologise beforehand if I get a tad incoherent, due to the fact that I’m feeling a little “high” at the moment. Nope, no illegal/legal substances thank you very much. Never have, never will.
First let me ask you something. Consider this list:

4 brand new dresses (with tags), each retailed at $70- $90
8 near [...]

Wooden owl brooch

Awww I want this baby. So bad. SOOO BAAAD!!!

Isn’t she a cutie?!
I love Allira Tee’s designs. Quirky, cheeky, original!
~t2~
PS: Also thinking it’s about time for another Threadless order. Since it’s summer. And I’ve worn all the ones I’ve got so much, they’re starting to look a bit frumpy, fluffy, and frayed. Hmm…
PSS: If Chopin’s “Raindrop [...]
