multitask.

I haven’t had many interesting things happen lately because I was so bogged down with studies. Now I can finally have a short break. I don’t know exactly when I got into an extremely bad habit of constantly multitasking whilst ’studying’. It seems more ‘efficient’ as you attending to two tasks – WRONG! Switching back and forth from study to web browsing/reading blogs/ebay/shopping/flickr/news/youtube etc.. actually costs you more time and in the end, you probably do below average at both tasks. If I keep going at this rate, I will FAIL FINALS (which is only 6 weeks away). So I’m determined now to just stick to one task at a time, which means switching off the computer when its not needed for studying.

Well, I suppose I did get something out of the times I multitask… such as an order on ASOS!! It was the first time I ordered from them and I’m quite impressed but how quickly it arrived. Shipping costs are quite reasonable as well. However, I was a bit disappointed that a pair of shoes were too big for me so I need to return them. But keeping these!! In love with the shoes <3

No doubt anyone in Australia, well at least in Sydney or Brisbane, saw the huge dust storm that swept across the two states!! The whole sky was just orange and it felt like a massive construction site. Did some MAJOR EXFOLIATING when I got home. LUCKY MY WINDOWS WERE SHUT!!!! Or I would have seriously would have cried if I had to wipe every inch, every one of my displays and my plush toys!

It cleared up overnight and seeing blue sky again was just great!

Oh, and you should try this MULTITASK GAME I scored 92 XD

Gucci Fall Winter 09/10 Campaign.

The Making of Gucci Fall Winter 09/10 Campaign.

Overall, the shoot looks amazing. The models are very…unique. The male model at 1:41, Lord Ferdenon (?) is doing a bit of a Draco Malfoy style slash vampire – actually he nearly looks bald because his skin is the same colour as his hair. Another standout is Mona at 1:59. Just looking at the structure of her face, she seems quite masculine. Anyone agree??? Next is Christian at 2:32……. somebody give the guy some food!! This is no dissing, but admiration for the casting. Each of them have this look that lures you in. Love the ending – so dark, mysterious and artistic.

Bbag: SGH

Was going through my subscriptions and I think I wish I hadn’t! I know I’m in trouble when I look at anything on Stockholm Streetstyle, especially in Caroline’s blog. I gave handbags a bit of a break since I would only be living on bread and water if I kept buying handbags. The feeling of ‘look but can’t touch’ makes me sick to my stomach. I start to look away…. except its like calling me back. Then I suddenly find myself getting a calculator out trying to work out available funds, hours of work needed and balancing income and expenses- a dangerous process called self-convincing. Gimme gimme GIMME!!!

Dear Balenciaga City Silver Giant Hardware,

You are so beautiful. I want to take you out to nice places, see nice people and take you on a shopping spree.
I love the glimmer of your silver hardware and the way you can complete me and my outfits. You are my icing on my cake. Unfortunately, I can’t take you home just yet. But be patient cos you will belong with me…one day.

Wait for me!

xoxo,

Ooo Balmain shoulders.. Is it a tired style?
I hope not, cos I’m still lovin’ it.

Denise @ superwowomg.com shows her DIY studded bag and her sister Sha @heynicehat.wordpress.com has tutorial on it here. I so don’t have enough time/patience to do it. Actually, maybe I should revisit some my home-economics skills (or there lack of..)

Took me a whole hour to blog this due to some kickass grandma speed internet.
Better appreciate!

iWood.

After getting the iPhone 3G [S] (yes I caved and upgraded the 3G), I’ve been searching around for means of protecting it. I don’t like to admit it, but I can spend hours trying to find a nice case for my iPhone. So I’ve previously tried silicon cases, snap-on back covers, leather pouches and invisible shields. I came across these Miniot iWood cases which have impressed me the most.

What makes it even better is that you can uniquely design it yourself by selecting the type of wood and personalising it with either a logo or a message.


Here’s a review from iLounge.

A premium case comes with a premium price tag: 80 Euros

Maybe a birthday pressie for me? Anyone?

Lindsay Lohan finally pulling her life back together! Hooray! Looking past all the rehab, relationships, stealing and DUIs, I’m glad she’s seen doing her actual job now.

kicks and hoodies.

Something’s up with my blog…either I’m doing something that’s automatically creating 5-10 blank drafts, or someone else has. Wa da?

chicks in kicks.

Hoodies don’t always have to be sporty.
Just the right mix of sweet, girly and cool.

CHANEL BLOG

As you can see by the caps in the title, I’m so excited slash wth cos OMG WHERE HAVE I BEEN that I have not discovered CHANEL BLOG?!
All the news, shows, photos of everything Chanel. Ohh I love!

The gorgeous Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) meeting Karl Lagerfeld.

fashion is risky.

The most fabulous people all in one place @ The MET Institute Costume Gala 2009. If you haven’t already seen, here are some favs. Since this is a show of The Museum Institute of Art with the theme The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion its expected to see some surprises.

P.s. Is it only me that wishes there are more asians in Hollywood? Or isn’t there anyone who is pretty enough? hmm not sure.

Miranda Kerr

Miranda Kerr and Bar Rafaeli in Marchesa.

Blake Lively in Versace

Tyra in Badgley Mischka Couture with a statement bun. I think its daring of her and appropriate since this is a show about art. But I think she’s the only one that can pull it off.

Kate Moss in Marc Jacobs

Ashley Olsen in her own design. Kinda undecided about this one. Love the back, but would look funny from the front?

Rachel Bilson in Bally

Kate Bosworth is so elegant in a piece by Stella McCartney

However, not really feeling it with Rihanna in Dolce & Gabbana…

Nor Madonna in Louis Vuitton.

Not sure if its just the lighting, but Victoria Beckham in Marc Jacobs looking a little orange here.
