Butterfly Twists' Gift

I always get excited whenever a mailman drops off something like a claim stub for me. Hello, who wouldn't be happy and excited to receive gifts on a normal day?! So after receiving the parcel bill / claim stub, I headed to the post office right away.

Christmas season has already ended, it's mid January, my birthday is on May, but hey, I got a surprise! Here's the Chelsea boots (valued £44.99) I received from the Butterfly Twists. This was the item they were giving during their December Giveaway with House Of Shakti.

 I was surprised of it's packaging, really. I was trying to figure out if there is really a pair of boots in that small box.

See how small? I can just easily grab it. 

 And there it is! Butterfly Twists is a shoe brand in UK specializing in practical, or should I say portable shoes. Talk about flexibility and comfort in fashion. *wink 

Here's what it actually looks like when pulled out from its "shelf". (Shelf? ano raw?!)

And, voila! Of course I need to put them on! Fits me perfectly. Im a size 36 (US) but since it's from UK, 37 is fine.

Third package for 2012, and I hope there will be more to come. hahaha!

These boots are really made for walking! Can't wait to walk with "Chelsea".

Santa's Gifts

Every year, we all make our Christmas Wishlist. Like who doesn't? I actually had mine posted on facebook though I don't consider it as a "list" because I only asked for one thing. So it's a wish. THE HELLO KITTY NOIR MAKE UP PALETTE FROM SEPHORA!!!

I told myself that if I could own one, my whole year will be complete and I’d be the happiest girl in the universe! (OA noh? but yeah, I love make up and my all-time favorite character is Hello Kitty so THIS IS REALLY FOR ME! Haha!)

And ZURPRIZE! Santa granted my wish! Though delayed for more than 2 weeks, I don't mind at all. It's finally here~

Lookie! Santa also sent me a Hello Kitty Make Up Purse (totally love it coz it's clear, I can easily see find my stuff.) and a House Of Shakti Green Aventurine Pendant Necklace.

Close up shot of my new eye make-up color palette! 25 different shades for the eyes and 10 for the lips! How cool is that?!

And the beauty bag has all these nice surprises! Can't wait to try all of them!

House Of Shakti Green Aventurine Necklace is designed to work for the Heart Chakra. Love love love! They also have a beautiful packaging. This is actually my second piece, the first one is a Rose Quartz Love Bracelet.

Absolutely HAPPY! 2011 has already ended and 2012 really started out well for me. Thanks Santa!

Perry

Finally, updated my lookbook for 2012.
Attending a TGIF party with friends and so I prepared. (minsan lang 'to so pagbigyan na)

Colors are inspired by Agent Perry, the platypus in Phineas and Ferb cartoon show. Major LOL.

See?!

Since I'm not used to wearing high heels, I decided to wear my super comfy flats before the nightout.

I'm actually 5ft 1in. tall (or short?). But those 5-in. heels do magic. HAHA!

Top from Terranova

Flats from Janilyn

Heels from People R People

Cropped Blazer from Mom (Looove vintage!)

Thrifted bag

Skirt from my cousin (it can also be worn as a top or a dress, so versatile!)

DIY Necklace (can also be a bracelet or a headband)

Hype?

DIY #6: Wrist Charms

Experimenting on colours and different materials are always fun. I love to mix and match up things!

I'm forever a "kikay" so wearing accessories has been part of me already. I never leave the house without a pair of earrings, or even a bracelet.

Here are some of the wrist charms I made:

What I used:

Different kinds & colors of beads

charms (feathers, pendant, etc),

twisted cotton cords, ribbons

nylon string

connectors

inspiration & creativity

There you go!

DIY #5: Make-up Purse

5 easy steps on how to make your own purse out of almost nothing without even spending! choz!

Here's how.

Basically, you have to prepare your materials and find a nice working place. If you have a sewing machine, better! If you have none, oh well you should have at least a talent in sewing/stitching. :))

materials you can find at home. 

1. Fold in half and cut the fabric to your desired size & shape. (You may use a pattern for this.) Make sure that both faces (of the fabric) are equal.

2. Fold it inside out and stitch both sides. (If you have no sewing machine, running stitch will do. Just make sure it's tight and neat.) Don't include the upper portion since it will be the opening -save it for the zipper.

3. Turn the purse the right way & flatten it.

4. Attach now the zipper. Stitch it carefully & neatly so it won't look like a mess. (By the way, before anything else, choose a zipper that fits the length of your purse.)

After doing #4, this is what your purse should appear.

5. Decorate! Be creative in designing/decorating your purse. (Use materials that are light.)

and voila! My own customized make-up purse.

Bokeh

Bokeh, definition:

the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light

-Wikipedia

Because this Bokeh thingy has got me interested, I studied and learned it myself.

Thanks to the existence of the so-called internet and camera. LOL
Playing with lights is a fun thing to do when you have nothing else to do. >:D

Just these. Will try out shooting more objects soon.

Would like to have an album full of Bokeh.

Maybe 5 to 10 years from now. XD

Monochromatic Drama

Monochrome, definition:

 describes paintings, drawings, design, or photographs in one color or shades of one color.A monochromatic object or image has colors in shades of limited colors or hues. Images using only shades of grey (with or without black and/or white) are called grayscale or black-and-white. 

-Wikipedia.

Then I tried shooting stuffs in monochrome.

 I actually find it cool to see things in black-and-white.

Looks more dramatic. CHAR!
