Not your Girly-Girl

I have been subscribing to several fashion blogs, just reading about their latest get up, outfits, finds etc. makes me envious, giddy and drooling at the same time.

Personally, I have no fashion IQ at all. Hold up a picture of a Gucci bag and a Prada bag and I won’t be able to tell which is which – as long as I can’t see the logo i'm lost. I repear i have zero fashion IQ.

When I get to read Cosmo, Preview, Marie Claire and all those fashion magazines, I can’t help but dream that one day, I get to be one of those lucky girls that were given an awesome makeover, from head to toe. or just get to own that featured, dress, shoe, bag etc. oh yes even make up and those beauty products.

And since i said i have zero Fashion IQ, I’ll let you in on a semi-secret. I can’t walk properly in heels. Imagine a guy wearing heels. Yup, that’s how I walk.

Growing up, I hated wearing dresses and other girly clothes maybe because growing up in the 80’s and being forced to wear those hideous dresses was traumatic on every sense of the word. But, lets say the dresses and girly things kids wear and use now were the ones in style during my day, I guess I would be one of those girly girls. Seriously.

At that time, boys’ and men’s fashion were more appealing to me. Shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. I wanted to won one. Remember the time when guys would wear low waist jeans? I had one. Remember when birks with socks were in? I wore that too, with shorts and polo shirt to boot. Tomboy much? Yeah.

So I guess, it’s only now that I realized that I have to change my perspective when it comes to dressing up. I think I have been too casual when it comes to choosing outfits for work, for play, for going out and for formal occasions. And I think it’s time to be a girly girl once and for all. i think hubby’s having enough of a boyish wife. I thin deep inside, he’s screaming for a wife that can knock his socks off and show off to the world, not the me that can be dragged to drinking sessions being one of the boys.

But.

It does not mean it’s a total 360 degree turn. I still love my own fashion sense, it’s just that I need more “personalities” to play with. Haha

Now, where can I find those makeover contests?

jenny's brdial shower

one word: Traumatizing!!

hahaha never in my life did i experience that. and i thought those things happen in movies lang. naive much? indeed i am.

now i'll never look at bridal showers the same way again. and hopefully the next time, i wouldn't be violated that much.

but the venue was oozing with photo ops. like this:

you have to give me credit for this. haha mirrors are the coolest!

and of course, the bridal shower became a mini reunion for my hs friends. for pictures, i've uploaded them in my multiply account. :)

channeling posh spice

... her hair that is.

with the impossible heat the past few days, with all the sticky-ness and the sweat, it's time to have my hair short again. and the current hair inspiration is posh spice.

i had a natalie imbruglia phase in highschool and college. and basically any celeb who had fab short hair, i wanted one too.

i'm more of the wash and wear type so short hair is the way to go.

all i need now is a good hair color and maybe some highlights. maybe the universe would conspire in making this come true and as a bonus, it would be free of charge too. =)

clearly not for me

we currently ran out of our usual shampoo which is head and shoulders, especially the menthol variant so we had no choice but to use clear. we bought clear out of curiosity and well, the lure of the advertising world. hehe

and i must say, clear is not friendly to my scalp. not at all. for the past week, my scalp has been itchy and my hair dry and hard to dry. so, no we're not going to buy clear again.

we're sticking back to head and shoulders. even if we don't have dandruff, this brand has been really kind to my scalp. and the reason why i love h&s? because this is the only shampoo that delivers its promise. if it says menthol, you'll really feel that your scalp is a bit menthol-y? or you feel that usual tingling sensation when you eat menthol candy. there.

i'm going to buy h&s later when i get home. itchy scalp, this is too much!!
