Vintage -henkiset kutsut ovat suosittuja ja kauniita!] Graphic Design Inspiration : Strawberry Koi. Do you have moments of feeling dry and uninspired? Well, these ‘lil beauties ought to perk you up. I am busy revamping a client’s site at the moment (also while working on a commission artwork, PHEW), and viewing the work of masterminds such as these really get my creative juices flowing. I stumbled across these via my new pinterest page (hint hint) where I’ve most definitely been having a little too much fun collecting eye-candy… Springtime in Winter « WishWishWish. Hey, Grandad Sometimes, I get an idea for a particular sartorial pairing in my head, and it just won’t go, nevermind the season. In this case it was my new Grandad-like loafers and a pair of minty socks.

It’s not often that I’ll get dressed starting from the feet up, but this was one of those occasions; I looked a sight as a pulled out various garments from my wardrobe in my underwear, a pair of socks, and patent loafers. After dismissing a pair of yellow cropped trousers (yup, I pulled them on OVER the shoes because I’m that lazy), I opted for my old faithful Topshop summer dress, so the socks and shoes could do the ‘talking’. I’d rather I didn’t need a coat at all, but if there was one for the job it had to be this fluffy Motel number, or as I like to call it, my ‘outside dressing gown’. To finish off my favourite colour palette of the moment, I painted my nails in Chanel’s Orange Fizz, a pinky orange that I can’t get enough of, and my lips in YSL’s Rouge Volupte in Peach Faubourg. Quiet Girl: inspiration. A lovely friend of mine, Aleyn , visited me on my exhibit opening at Heima and got me a present. It was really sweet of her! Aleyn works for a videography studio so she travels a lot and it's a rare chance to find her in Manila.

I've only seen her once before. We spent a couple of hours together window shopping and we never fail to pick out the same items we'd want to buy. If there's anyone I'd claim to be my brain twin (which I've never claimed before), it might be Aleyn. I opened the gift the day after my exhibit. I was so excited to open it that night but I figured that I should be 100% ready for it. I was so excited that I took photos while opening it. 1st peek!!! It's Frankie magazine 's latest issue!!! The Frankie mag articles are interesting. Aleyn also got me a postcard book called "Drop Dead Cute". The works inside are charming. Some illustrations are so simple yet they look complete.

(And oh this one is a little erotic. That's about it! Welcome. The Well-Appointed Desk: Archive. Letter Writing. A little while back I posted about Victoria's set up at Unique LA, and mentioned in that post that I got something from her that changed the way I send mail. It's called the letter ledger. It is handy way to keep track of what's coming in and going out of your mailbox. It's made my letter writing so much more enjoyable. She has thought of everything! The best feature I think is the box to take quick notes about what I need to address in my return letter so I don't need to keep re-reading the original note. My mailbox has been filled with notes, postcards, and presents. I also have a new pen pal all the way in Singapore!

The word “splurge” may call to mind a large, unplanned, impulse buy, and many splurges may occur under those circumstances. But splurges can be planned, prepared for, and worked into your spending plan. Let’s look at how: Research If you’ve decided that a Valentino dress needs to join your wardrobe, do loads of research on available styles, materials, colors, sizing variations, possible outlets for purchase, and return policies.

Then evaluate when, how often, and with which accessories you’d wear the dress. Compare The Internet is your friend. Budget This is the hard part, if you ask me. Buy You know what you want, you know where it’ll come from, and you’ve got the cash in hand. Enjoy You’ve made an informed, big-ticket purchase. How do YOU splurge? *Brand name luxury, that is.
