Life in Mono...

Yellow Boots...

My favourite shot from the PICA Car Boot Sale

Lily Allen's Make up..

I got my dress for my sister's wedding. Now I am looking for a look that would go with it. I was thinking of a very dark black smoky eyes. I think I have finally narrowed down the look that I want. I saw this video clip of Lily Allen's video and fell in love with it.

I love that look of that dark smoky eyes with that ruby red lipstick. I don't know if I am able to carry it off. anyway here are some of the stills....

 

Little things....

It only takes a little to make my heart swoon, teary eyed and blush. Little gestures like notes on the mirror in the bathroom or in my pocket, a piece of chocolate that you bought as you were going through the checkouts, a little flower that you picked back from work and etc.

I am very simple. To me you don't have to shower me with expensive gifts, to me it's really the thought that counts. You can even pick up a rock from the side of the street and give it to me and tell me, I thought of you when I saw this rock and it would be enough to make me smile. :*D

So when I read this post by Garance, it made me say "AWWWW" over and over again. I am such a hopeless romantic.

 

Hear hear or here here???

When I saw this picture, it struck a chord in me. All I can think about the whole time was "Yeah... why is that?" Anyway I love this picture and the feel of the photo.

I have been collecting Google's front pages for a while now and these are my favourites. Cookie Monster is on the front page today. Not sure why. Is it his birthday today?

Dramatic Eyes...

Maybe it's the cold, gloomy, overcasty weather but I am loving dark eyes at the moment. I just love the look of this model. I think I can do that with my new MAC Eye Kohl pencil. all I have to do is try to achieve that perfect arch right? :*)

Kickboxing anyone?

I never thought I would go to a kickboxing class. Tonight was a first for me. I live near a martial arts centre where you can either take classes or just use the dojo to practice your skills.

I was reading a blog today. I can't remember the name of the blog. The writer raved about how intense a 45 session was for her and how it made her feel.

I can see what she means now. I called up the centre and asked to see if I could go and have a look. The receptionist told me I could come for a casual class and try it out and so I did.

I must say that the class is not as hard as I thought it would be. I mean for someone uncoordinated as I am, I was nervous that I couldn't get the moves or the steps right. The instructor was really nice and really took time to teach me the moves and said that I could take it easy because it was my first class.

I had fun. By the 10th minute, I was sweating like a pig? Horse? Dog? Anyways, I was sweating heaps! There were another 2 girls that was new to the class as well and all they did was TALK AND TALK AND TALK and WHINE about how hard the class was. I was pretty annoyed to be stuck in the corner with them because they were bringing me down! They deserve a rant post by me. I will post about it tomorrow.

So by the end of the 45 minute class I was pretty raved up. I mean punching the sand bags was really fun for me. I can see why people find this class as a stress buster. Having a hard day at work? That's ok. Come in punch the bags and anger and stress GONE.

I will be back next week for another casual class again. :*)

The September Issue...

Tiff and I went to catch The September Issue tonight. It's by far the best documentary that I have ever seen and enjoyed.

The documentary is about well...Vogue's September Issue. It's their thickest issue of the year and the issue that determines what is in and out for the season or the year.

I never knew it takes that long to even get that issue out. I mean 6 months ahead? WOW. It  was pretty amazing. Tiff and I just oooohhh and ahhhh -ed at the clothes, the shoes, the models, the location shoots and etc.

My favourite person at Vogue will have to be Grace Coddington. In the documentary you can see Anna and Grace having awkward silence in the lift, Grace and Anna bickering, well maybe that is not the right word for it, about what shot should be in and what shot should be out.

If you are interested in Fashion at all, then this is the documentary to watch. Very informative to those who is interested in fashion journalism.

Next week, Tiff and I plan to watch Valentino,The Last Emperor. This is a good year for Fashion Docos.

Sexy Maxi...

With the warmer months sloooooooooowly approaching, I have been gathering up all my maxi dresses and giving them a good wash. It still feels like Winter here in Perth and at the moment, my fingers a re FREEZING! 

I love how the above model wears her maxi dress. Maybe I should try something like this since it's still quite cold here!

Sportgirls's Maxi Dress...

If you follow me on Twitter, you would have seen my Tweet about finding this jersey maxi dress at Sportsgirl and also at Sussans.They were identical but the only difference was in the price.
Sussans is selling it for over $100 and I bought this one at Sportsgirl for $50 on sale.

I have already worn it out last night to MsChikee's game night dinner and it's so comfortable. I can't wait to wear it for summer!
