im totally digging these looks. i dont know why.

So appropriate.

fffound & Fashion Inspiration

holy fuknuts. Sexy much? I effing want that jacket

I also think i found my inspiration for Autumn/Winter. Inspiration to dress and be that effing thin to be ABLE to dress that way. Chunky girls like myself can't pull look #2 off. Not suggesting I can afford buying anything from Aritzia of course. There's not enough jobs I can take on to make that much money and afford that type of wardrobe.

Dilemma

To buy new gym clothes or to buy vacation/summer-wear, that is the question.

People have mixed opinions about Forever21. 

"Their clothes rip. xx Holes appear after 2 washes. xx i boycotted the store. xx They steal designs. xx I love Forever21. xx Meeh. xx The quality is what you pay for. xx Clothes is affordable and pretty."

Based on personal experience, nothing has ripped for me so far and i can afford it so why the hell not. Their jewelery is nice and so are their dresses!!! Jackets im so-so on. They're visually appeasing but not practical (Buttons sewn on poorly. But nothing my mom couldn't fix). Their $1.50 "fabulous finds" is literally, you pay what for what you get and i got ribbons glued onto large bobbypins which fell off after approx. 8 wears. Scarf and belts so far so good. I have yet to purchase pants, shoes, eyewear and headwear from them. I'm pretty much GOOOD with Forever21 despite all the negative comments and opinions about the store.

But I'm still in my dilemma at the end of this rant because i only haveeee so much in my gifts-to-myself fund. lol

im boring

Does anyone else find me boring nowadays?

Anyways, saw these! && wondered why i didnt pursue Fashion Communications.....and why im not rich and pretty. SIGHS.

Valentino Spring 2010

Emilio Pucci ready-to-wear spring summer 2010

Purdy isnt it? Makes me want to shop (Zara = huge sale = me going crazy) !!!  Suddenly my new favorite store is Zara......on sale. Nonetheless their stuff is stylish but not so Forever21 price range for me lol Maybe its just me but i haven't seen any of Zara's Headband collection in their stores? Or is it just a States (argh no fair) thing? I'm lacking headbands (like how im lacking scarves....).

On another note, I REALLLLLLLLLY need to get a move on my much delayed/procrastinated Room Reno that I declared back in July09 (ish). I mean, even lx is starting up with his and we havnt even finished with mine. Argh argh! Things i NEED to accomplish:

• Go grab the wardrobe from K!!!!!
• Wallpaper my closet door
• Buy fabric for my DIY projects (for the room & K's belated Christmas Present)
• Patterned Wrapping Paper/Stock to cover bookends
• Buy: Bookends, file storage, binders, large black stylish storage boxes, large laundry hamper, wooden clothes hangers, bed/bomforter linen
  
• Paint Room (the minute its warm enough to keep windows open all night)

I feel like i am repeating this list over and over again with nothing crossed off.

& it is probably the case too. =___=*

Anywaysssss. I'm so so looking forward to the weekend! Like i mentioned before double Winterlicious!! @ Fred's Not Here & Oliver and Bonacinii because we are poor but want relatively decent lunch food. Its just gonna suck a tiny bit because of the super cold wave that's coming this weekend which means i'll have to bundle up and not allowed to look pretty because little bundled up eskimos aren't pretty.

I'm also feeling lucky. Maybe the mister and i should try Avatar IMAX again? haha

Spring

(via Source)

I am completely intoxicated with the thoughts of pastels, tights, dresses, blazers, shorts, light scarves and over-sized sweaters. I am SO SO ready for you Spring. Please come sooooon.

My deepest and most sincere condolences to my friends and their families whom has lost someone recently. I'm utterly shocked at how close these incidents are to each other but it only shows how life is too short. Life should be extravagant and to think too much and not enjoy it defeats the purpose of living. We should not take for granted and appreciate those who means the most to us and not hold regrets.

One Day

One day l'll be able to sport that. When i am stick thin and can tuck in my shirt ! Yes!

Before i forget.

(via Source) (I want my hair long like the girl in the pic AND her sweater giggle)

Shopping list for myself! Need to look for cheap yet a stylish:

• Jewellery Stand/Holder or specifically something to hold my necklaces (Necklaces flying everywhere and getting tangled)
• Bedsheets (Mini yellow and purple roses against pale green is not cool)
• Scarf Box
• Recycle Bin/Basket
• Large Clothes Box (for my stay @ home clothes & PJs)
• Mittens (refuse to buy any over 5 bucks....even though my TNA ones are losing its warmth strength. Dont buy TNA mittens. They dont keep u warm.)

• Large Hot Rollers  (im in no rush for this but keeping an eye for a set that are discounted and is sooo cheap its like one of those i-get-lucky type of cheap......but not cheap in quality kind of product)
  

Amongst other things i don't remember but i should because it'll come in handy seeing everything is currently on sale. Oh right, like this hat i saw Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey) wore on Gossip Girl. AND winter jacket shopping very soon! Before it hits zero degrees.... tho that seems so unlikely because it is currently freaking nine degrees outside. Madness. Looks like TNA parka here I come? I need peoples opinions and testimonials on those Tatula and Community jackets. I'm looking for something fitted, yet warm! Most importantly WARM. I'm getting old and i can't stand the cold.

I wonder if Karyn is able to get me dirt cheap uggs from Vegas. When i mean dirt cheap, I mean under 80 bucks. heh. Sorry cousin and mister, im giving in. I will take those beats from u guys when i see u. xD Then again, the chances of her finding them for THATT cheap, in MY size, in THAT style (heard they discontinued making the Classic Mini's) and in the color (Chocolate) I want are probably pretty slim and at zero. If that is the case it would simply mean it wasn't meant to be!

Shopping, shopping. A girls death.

PS. Ninja Assassin was quite good. Big Ups to Rain for his role. lol

October

Hmm, i know i've already posted twice today already (about twilight ^^) but suddenly my blogging mode switched on and because work tomorrow (frowns and sobs) is going to be stressful and frustrating i probably won't have anytime to blog from work like i normally do which is why i'm going to start word vomiting right now

It's Thanksgiving Monday and my family attempted to be festive but failed miserably and we ended up with salty turkey. I don't know why but the entire day i was really bitter and grouchy and i feel terrible for it, but every little thing somehow managed to annoy the crap out of me. I feel sorry for acting out this way, i guess i should try to make it up on another day. I blame the weather, for being so crappy and gloomy. & Rainy for the rest of the week. I can already foreshadow how grouchy l'll be for the coming week.

It's already the middle of October and i've been really disappointed up to this point so far. My life has been put on hold for almost two weeks because of this rash i got. I missed Nuit Blanche which to me was one of the bigger disappointments (again, will blog about that later), canceled several outings including my nails evening with C. Stopped gyming in fear my swollen face and neck would alarm people. I''ve gone to work with icepacks (3x) and replace them bi-hourly to ease the itch and my days and nights has gone by with an icepack to my neck, face and hands.

The only GOOD i can see that came from this rash, is a second chance at beautiful skin!! Haha as corny as that sounds, lx and i found the rash might have killed all the acne on my face and under advice from the dermatologist, my face is on its way to clear skin!!!!

Yes, the only good thing and now back to bad things.

Work has definitely gotten much more stressful and i dread going to work tomorrow to face the pile of codes i have to understand and sort through. Its been almost half a year since i've started to work here and i think it has gotten to a point where i'm so sick of being unappreciated and most importantly, being overworked and not being compensated for it. I can deal with the non-appreciative part, but the not being compensated (in wage or benefits) for my work has really begun to bother me. I'll leave it at that.

Anyways, i'm looking foward to the rest of October and hope only good things come out of it. My 30 month with LX next week (we're not celebrating it, i just like bringing it up lol), S's engagement dinner, L & LX's Bday and most importantly, Halloween. =D

My nails also need to grow faster b/c i have been manicure-deprived. On the subject of nails, i am waiting patiently for the new month to come so i can buy either that new MATTE nail polish @ Sephora or Dry Martini from Mac. I told myself that i'm only allowed one new color per month and since i used up this month's quota for Sephora's Dark Room (It's suppose to be dark Green but it actually looks black. I was very disappointed because i don't want another black polish and wished i bought Mac's Beyond Jealous instead), I'm not allowed to get anything else until November.

Moving onto shopping. I have told myself that i must really stop buying little things immediately because i need to save up for four larger purchases.

1. Insurance/Driving School
   I've come to realization that i only have 2 years to get my G and i am royally fukked hence the need to speed up the process and pray that it will come easy to me. I've been procrastinating since 2007 lol
   
2. Passport
   I have all my forms filled, i just need to go take that photo and head over to the passport office @ STC to get this over with lol This too, I've been procrastinating since 2007.
3. Winter Jacket
   Whether it be a TNA Jacket, a CND Goose, or some other brand one. I really would like to have a new one. I told myself since year 3, my graduate year WILL be the year i get a TNA jacket but i'm very hesitant because this year for some lame reason they only have the jackets made in Black, and i think either Brown or Green. All of which is not what i wanted because my heart was set out on purchasing the dark Navy blue one, and my second choice would have been the gray. Now since both my first (kind of my only choice) and second (passable) choice are not even MADE this year, i really don't want to even get it because everyone has the black one and the other two colors don't appeal to me. Thinking back, the one jacket i am literally HUNTING for is this gorgeous Zoo York one that i saw back in 07. Think TNA jacket but dark navy blue and red plaided-insides. Absolutely gorgeous and unfortunately i let that one slip by for only $225-ish. That's my winter jacket tale. 
4. New Glasses
   Fairly straight-forward, i'm tired of my current D&G ones, they've been horribly scratched up, abused and bent by me and i want to discard them for a pair of black Roberto Cavailli's that i've seen once make a special appearance on Sex & the City. i doubt l can find the same ones but l'll settle for anything similar.
5. MAYBE MAYBE- Uggs
   Alright i know the mister AND my cousin are intensely against me buying it (lol) and becoming a bear but i noticed the three boots i bought during my little insane spree are not really....erm warm and comfortable per say.... I know i totally deserve losing a toe or two for spending so much money on 3 pairs of Gossip Girl-like styled boots but i really need something comfortable for work......which is where Uggs come in!!!!! A pair of Classic Mini's in either Chestnut or Chocolate isn't asking for too much.....!!??? This of course is not a priority,which would let me of the hook for a bit.

That summarizes up the four (and one maybe) large purchases that i want to make and it's definitely going to be costly and be paid entirely by only yours truly. Yes even the glasses because i have no benefits!!!!!!!! Sighs.

Ah, i think i might have wanted to type more but its 10pm and i need sleep to face the day tomorrow. No Body Pump for me tmr because i pretty certain i'm staying late again.

Maybe l'll walk that extra 20 minutes to get myself a Starbucks tmr. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

add-on: scarves addiction

I was stalking through my own pics from year 1&2 @ GCM and saw myself wearing a really nice scarf and then asked myself "heyyyyyy where did THAT go".Sadly i already knew the answer to that and became a lil bitter. Argh those pictures reminded me of how many scarves i have lost over the years by either leaving it at GCM (i even know who took one of them!!! ahhh) or on the TTC.


damn if i've just been a LITTLE more careful i wouldn't need to buy all these new ones!



or not.


They don't call it an addiction for nothing. gah.


I wrote this up a couple months ago but since its autumn now, it seems completely necessary to bring it up again. Reblogging so i know what to get and not freaking buy the same thing lol Scarves i will eventually get:

• A Hot Pink-colored scarf
• A red-colored scarf
  
• A green-colored scarf
• a floral patterned scarf
• a pastel yellow-color scarf
  
• a pretty patterned scarf of some sort
• a striped scarf
• a nice looking, jumble, suffocate-myself-in wool scarf in general
  
• another square scarf of any sort would be nice (lets make it four!)
• a white scarf
  
• a plain black square scarf
  
• Perhaps a nice grey-colored wool scarf

I am in desperate need of a new scarf box because my current one is totally overflowing.
Maybe i really should have gotten it yesterday at Ikea.

tumblr

ive been SO into tumblr-ing for the past couple of weeks i totally want to completely migrate over and start a completely new tumblr for etc. purposes (my current one already has a theme which im sticking with). Love tumblr, there's constant inspiration over there.


...........but i think that's such an impulsive decision so im going to hold out.

Happy Birthday to my BFF today!!! <3>

& i declare it being officially fall today (in my calendar) because im breaking in my fall/winter boots and wearing a new "autumn"-trend polish color! Love the boots but need to adjust to the color. haha

A side note, im sad that tickets for "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" is sold out. i wanted to surprise the mister with them too.... sniff sniff.

&& this weekend is going to be quite eventful! I'm going to try sneaking in wearing my maxi dress ONE LAST TIME this weekend before it gets retired with all my summer dresses. (Yeah i realized i am so contradicting because i just declared it autumn moments ago...but its ohkay). Hopefully i can take my camera out of the corner and blow the dust off by using it again. I miss loading pictures on facebook.

Blogging Mode is back and strong.

I think Glasses are SO sexy on a girl. Why doesn’t guys think so?

Anyways, I havn’t really word vomited in a while and suddenly the lack of motivation to do work (at work) is making me want to write up something instead. I guess l’ll be jumping back and forth on several topics because there are like 10 gazillion things I want to get out but its all very jumbled up in a big web in my head so this is literally going to be a word...vomit. Topics flying everywhere. Good luck understanding me.

First up, September. Back-to-School whattttttt!?!?! Holy crap it didn’t hit me until I saw kids on the bus with their TNA bags but binders sticking outta them. Then I saw a couple of girls with Starbucks travelers mugs and super hot back-to-school outfits on (I think I might have creeped them out a bit with my staring). Sighs. No back-to-school shopping for me! In fact, I’ve been repeating outfits for the past couple of weeks because there are boxes and bags cluttering my closet area (I haven't finished detox-ing my room yet) and I havnt been able to (well more like I’ve been to lazy to) get around the clutter to choose what I want to wear. Instead I grab and wear all the clean laundry that my mom left on the side for me to put away in the closet that i’m unable to reach and the cycle repeats.....haha my scarf box looks like it exploded, jackets and blazers laying across my ironing board, undergarments and (dirty gym) socks left on the ground. Its a hazardous site I swear.

Anyways I detoured away from what I was saying and the whole point is, I miss school SO much. I miss going to school with my laptop and seeing the kids in our middle row. I miss taking our annual photobooth pictures. I miss feeling superior (hahaha to the rest) because I was part of a LARGE “family”. I miss blogging in the middle of our lectures, I feel like im funniest during those times. I’m also STARBUCKS deprived because I am no where near one now that I’m outta school. Sighs. I miss school.

I hope we all can get together soon for jennut and tall jenns bday. Its starting to get a little sad (and annoying) with how the only way i do get to see them are in my dreams...........as freaky as that may sound.

Speaking of which; the fantastic four (3/4) has all expressed a need (by msging me) to get together to catch up because we havnt talked to each other at all due to one leaves it to me to organize this, ones computer-deprived and two are working. Hopefully that will happen near the end of the month when we have our monthly cinema experience, intense intellectual conversations over Starbucks and Burger-Joint Dinners. sighs. i miss the boys.

I also miss shopping. Ha ha ha ha but that’s another topic for another day. Blogging about it now might actually provoke me to go spend an abundant amount after work today. (I’m thinking of getting myself a Lululemon duffel bag, the one I want is 98dollars....and some work-out wear..... Haha aiii)

About the gym- I’ve been going to Goodlife for a good three months now. I’ve been pretty good, going to my classes but not so good with my “diet” which actually caused me to gain weight. Very bad in fact since the whole purpose of starting to work out was to lose weight. Bright side of this is I feel a lot better (healthier), I enjoy my time there, I think im a lot stronger than when I was before I started but I am still weaker than a pregnant woman. Anyways, going to put my game on and go for 6-8 hours of the gym each week instead of my normal....3.5? Yeah that’s really little....seems much more little now that I see it typed out. Argh.

Next, I need a new book. At work I’m reading New Moon (slowly!!!) during my lunch but at home (before going to sleep) I’m currently book-less. Finished the Lovely Bones last night, don’t know if I like it so much. There’s a lot of sex-ing going on again (2 books in a row with lots of sex-ing!!) and I don’t like anything that has to do with death and families breaking apart lol. Time to hit up BMV with my booklist.

I would continue to word vomit mindlessly but my severe boyfriend withdraw is really distracting me (dammnit charge your phone LX!!!) so going to stop here.

Good Day to you All.

Old and Random

I have come to that age, where mothers tell their kids to call me "Yee yee" instead of "Jeh Jeh" .
Sighs.

hahaha it sucks to be old


Also, as i went on a shopping trip by my lomesome self today, i saw the first pair of Gladiator heels that i want. Theyre so ultra sexy, even tho they give off the appearance of caged monsters chomping away at my feet. Now i just have to decide whether its worth it to get it now with a 10% discount or should i take my chances and wait for it to go on sale....hmmm decisions decisions.

&& my convocation dress is currently on a plane right now. i really hope it fits because it goes by "Hong Kong" sizes which basically means petite and even petite. The description said it "should" fit mediums, im hoping it also supports my size Venti behind.

On that subject, i received an email notification from Ryerson re: RSVPing to the event. Even with that notification im not feeling like im actually graduating. I'm seriously starting to wonder when its going to hit me that i dont have to go to school anymore because none of this convocation/graduation business is getting through to me. I'm just looking at this event as another excuse for me to buy a new dress/shoes, dress up and take a gazillion pictures with the GCM kids. lol Its also gonna be a pretty epic event because both my parents and the misters parents r gonna be there too and ya.........l'll let our TVB-like imaginations run wild. That will definately be a blog-worthy moment. haha

yawns.
ok time to floss and go snoring.

Scarves, scarves, scarves!

A list of scarves I want [ to keep track ], and WILL eventually get

• A Hot Pink-colored scarf
• A red-colored scarf
  
• A green-colored scarf
• A pastel yellow-colored scarf
• a floral patterned scarf
• a pretty patterned scarf of some sort
• a striped scarf
• a brown-patterned square scarf
• another square scarf of any sort would be nice (lets make it four!)
  
• Perhaps a nice grey-colored wool scarf

Giggle giggles

Material-Whore

I suddenly feel the urge to blog about what are some of the wants, on my shopping list. I am so excited about back to school shoppping. Which is why I absolutely must trim my size down a digit or two to wow everyone at gcm on September 2 [ which is so not happening, but its always nice to fantasize ].

I am suddenly totally inspired by the whole vintage, classy look that only really super slim, tall girls [ie. Tall jenn] can pull off. I need to drop my "must shop only for work clothes" stance, to "back to school chic" mode.

Scarves. I need more. I need more bold colors, I need patterned ones and more squared ones. I think people should know that if they are EVER stumped on gift ideas, they should just get me a scarf.

- Jeans. I need another pair of jeans. I think im gonna go for grey this time.
- Shoes. I really want new flats, but that’s clearly not happening because the flats I desire are so damn expensive.
- Accessories. Must expand collectionnn
- Sunglasses. I gotta figure out how im gonna do this sunglasses thing, seeing I am practically legally blind and designer-sunglasses doesn’t do perscripted lenses. : (
- A clutch. I need one so badly. Been procrastinating for the longest time. Im at a point where I cant wait to go to the US to get a cheap COACH one, but run to the eaton centre and purchase it for full price.
- Another nice big hobo bag would be nice...but I have too many already.
- A TNA hoodie in another color would be nice, not necessary though
- A dark grey winter jacket. Im so ahead of myself but I really want a new winter jacket. My black JACOBS one is looking mistreated.

- etc etc etc. Whatever that’s cute! I need back to school clothesss!

Im praying that OUP will keep me as a part-time after internship. Not only do I enjoy the work, I really would like the extra cash to support my new-found vision of making myself materialistically-pretty and addiction to starbucks.
