OOTDs From My Phone

Ok so, this is supposed to be a day when i talk about fashion stuff. However, i soon realize after 1 month that i dun really have so freaking much of things to talk about for this fashion corner. So, i will turn this fashion wednesday to freestyle wednesday lol. Sometimes, i will post about fashion when i have something to write about, if not i will post about... i dunno, maybe things that i love recently or things happened to me this week =)

Anyway, today i'll still post something related to fashion. Some of my OOTDs lol.

This is me when i was going to vote for the GE13 last Sunday. I assumed that the place will be quite hot and since 700 people is gonna vote in the same place, i expect a long queue too. That's why i picked the top. Then, since it's a serious thing, i thought i might just wear a jeans in case they need a formal look. But it turned out i'm just overworried lol. The scarf and necklace were just to accessorize the top as it will look v plain without them.

And, this is me when i was working at the hospital last time. Sorry for the wrinkles on the top lol. The top was actually a casual wear from H & M, but i thought i can make it looks more formal by tucking it into the skirt. And the skirt was actually a jeans-like material but since it's a dark navy colour, it doesn't look too bad for work.

And this, is just a piece from Zara which i found it inspiring. However, when i tried it on, the patterns shocked me. Didn't plan to see this Sunflower-like patches all over the top so i made up my mind NOT to get it lol. If it's not the sunflowers, i might actually buy it.

This is the outfit i wore when i went to Vietnam. The top is the same as the one i wore to vote (first pic). But this time i tuck it into the high-waist shorts. Also, i tied up my hair. Part of the reason was the heaty weather but also because it makes me look smart and neat as my hair was at the not-long-not-short period.

This is also taken from the Vietnam trip. Beatles top from H & M with the hat from Accessorizes. The T-shirt is to cover up my shoulders as the tour guide said we were going to visit some places that has outfit restrictions. The hat was just for accessorizing purpose haha.

Anyway, i'm a huge huge fans for H & M as clothes there are really cheap back in UK. Also, love Accessorizes but things are expensive/ above-average there. Love most of the Spain brands, including Zara, Bershka (they have great T-shirts), Pull & Bear, MNG, etc. Me and my friend went crazy when we went to Spain, and so excited to shop in Madrid.

So, that's all for today. =)

My Handbags Criteria

Fashion Wednesday!

Today's theme will be... BAGS!

I am not a person who have lots of different types of bags for different occasion. I'm more of a one-bag-go-everywhere person haha. So when it comes to the point that i need to buy a bag, i'll make sure it matches with lots of outfits, mainly casual and smart-casual style.

Colour: I love original leather colour. The brown - dark brown series. People might ask, if i want to match all outfits, why dun i get a black bag. But the fact is, i dun like black bags. Especially dyed leather in black. If you get a black fake leather bag, it will start peeling off like a snake skin after a while. I once had a yellow leather sling purse which was a birthday present from a friend. And yes it's not usable now because of the reason i just said. Which is totally disgusting. So ya, if you want to get a leather skin bag, get an authentic one. Fake one is NASTY.

Material: Like i said just now. I like bags with some leather touch. Preferably soft leather. This is because i used to have lots of stuff to put in my bag when i was in uni, so a hard leather will not have the flexibility to stretch and fit all the stuff in. But this is a BAD practice! You are not supposed to stuff in lots of things into a handbag, it will accelerate the process of spoiling it. I learn that now, so I forbid my mum from putting a few bottle of water in my bag and she just NEVER gets it.

Size: I dun like small purse to hold in the hand when going out as i am very absent-minded. I hate large gigantic bag too as it makes me look 10 years older than my actual age. The best size would be medium. With at least 3-4 compartments. Dun like over-designed bag too cos it will be difficult to match with clothes. 

This is one of my favourite bag i had which i bought at the J. Ferry factory outlet. It's a Japan brand and i bought it at 50% discount price. It's now half-retired because the straps are broken-ish. Don't want to make it look too bad so i store it up in a hotel laundry bag for now. The leather is soft and this is the colour that i was talking about. It matches with all my outfits and the design was good too. It has lots of compartments inside so i won't mix up everything in the bag. I'm a very organised person so my least favourite bag would be Longchamp. I know it's very popular nowadays, almost everyone has one, fake or real. But i seriously hate it.

This would be the latest bag that i bought when i traveled to Spain with a friend after graduation. Bought it mainly due to the fact that it has a lot of England landmarks on the body of the bag. It can be hold by the leather handle or can be a cross body messenger bag =) And since i've understood the concept of do-not-overstuffed-the-bag, the bag still look brand new yey!

The next bag i'm going to get will be smaller than this one, as i'm no longer in uni so i don't have notes, bottle and pencil box to put in my bag. But still i need something with a handle to hold or long belt to make it a sling bag. Maybe something like a chanel classic flap bag? Oh well, maybe not now haha.

DIY Bracelet Storage

First thing that i would introduce in this blog is....

Da dang! My first ever made DIY bracelet storage!

I have to admit, i rarely make anything nice with recycle stuff, so i'm v proud with myself this time to come up with this amazing idea of making myself a bracelet rack or whatever it should be called.

So, what i used was a small plastic container which is similar to the milk container which you'll get on the flight, stapler bullet, candles, a wine cock as the stand, and something for the base.

Basically i stab holes on the container to put in the stapler bullets which has been reassembled to form a |__/ shape as hooks. Then i use bluetag to make them stay wherever they should be staying and pour in hot candle wax to fill up the container. This would mark the finish of the upper part of the rack.

After the wax cool down, stick the wine cock horizontally with the container with the wax facing upwards. And glue the other end of the wine cock to the base, which should be something with some weight to stabilize the whole bracelet rack.

Lastly, put some decorations to cover up the wax at the open end of the container. I used papers to cut few layers of flower petals and assemble a nice yellow flower on top.

I know it's not like the perfect and super pretty bracelet rack but it works for me so, it's good enough! To make it looks even better, you can spray some colour on the surface so that it can look a little bit more professional but i can't be arsed to do that lol.

To me, it's functional and the overall wooden-ish colour looks really good so I'm happy with it =)
