I’m absolutely estatic that I came across this awesome online scribbling interface! Best part about it is that it’s incredibly easy to use! Plugged in my Wacom tablet and viola!!

As you can see, I’m still into old grainy photos. I’m using a camera which has 12.2 megapixels and a lens that can take the clearest of clear photos even in pitch darkness (yep, f1.4 – is pure love!) but all I want out of it is old film camera style pics. Funny that.

I had one of those awful days where you sort of wish you had never stumbled onto.  Okay…it’s not as melodramatic as it sounds however it was still a dreadful day indeed. Our builder installed the wrong cupboards in our kitchen which will mean one of two things: a) get him to replace it which will further prolong the date of settlement (which is already a month over schedule!) or b) live with it…and buy lots and lots and lots of shoes to compensate the bitter sadness. The latter does sound very enticing however my heart is pretty much set on wanting him to rip out the existing mistake and to simply replace it with the orginal design I had chosen.

Yeah…I wish it was that simple…

Will be having a friendly chat to our builder first thing tomorrow morning. May need to remind myself not to bring out the claws over the course of what I predict will be a loooonng conversation. ***editing to add, builders were happy to comply! Kitchen will be changed asap! I’m all smiles today. ***

My mind took a mini break from all the house stuff  tonight, didn’t want to think about it. In contrary to the post made below, I started browsing through my favourite online boutiques again and not so surprisingly, purchased a cute Miu Miu leather double wrap skinny belt and a pair of Prada black patent heels as a  ‘pick me up‘  for myself . Both are classic items anyway- they’ll last me for yearrrs.

And on the topic of classics, I’m posting one of my many favourite editorials from Vogue Paris ‘05 starring one of my favourites- Sofia Coppola. She’s the epiphany of classic-chic. I love her innate sense of style, so simple, so delicate yet bold in an very unspoken of way.

(I’ve had these pics saved on my computer for years and have forgotten the original source)

Ahhh…my never ending search for chic…It’s hard to believe this editorial is 5 years old!! I’d like to hope that in 5 years time the items I have currently hanging in my wardrobe would be still wearable! It just goes to show, ‘fashion changes but style remains’- Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel.

The boy took this random pic of me at our-soon- to-be completed house. I’m hoping we can move in by the end of July. I refrain myself from saying this out loud in fear I may somehow jinx it!

Weekends consists of going to as many furniture and electrical good stores as we can possibily fit in. At this present moment, the desire for purchasing new clothes (or shoes for that matter) is surprisingly, no longer a constant lingering thought of mine anymore. Instead of Louboutin, Marant, Wang..all that’s going through my mind is now- Stark, Mies van der Rohe , Eames. I’ve also gathered enough home furnishing ideas to fill up a whole suitcase to the brim. Needless to say, I’ve neglected shopping for myself and replaced it with shopping for our house and it’s been quite an invigorating expirence so far!

Yep! I’ve found a new love- furniture shopping!

[reorganising the wardrobe- this photo pretty much sums up my current mood- soft, delicate, muted and netrual]

After the rain..everything glows in the light…
I like relaxing by curling up on my daybed against the window sill, wrapped in the warmness of my cashmere throw…
murmurs from the distant traffic and soft trickling of rain water down the gutter serves as the perfect backdrop.
For most of the time, I read…while taking impromtu breaks in between.

For some reason, I’m suddenly drawn to old/grainy/film-like photos these days.
It exudes a different kind of feeling, different kind of emotion.

this is such a beautiful clip..love Daria, love Prada..

[..I've had this Alex Wang jacket for less than a year, have worn it out maybe  a dozen times- it's now missing 50% of the buttons!! I'm gutted! Paying premium price for designer items obviously does not always buy you quality!]

I wish the weather was warmer.

…it’s definately not the best pic I’ve taken and one that I can’t say I’m terribly proud of. I can see many many flaws in this pic which annoys me greatly! However I did have a lot of fun taking this and will probably do a few more of these “underwater” pics when I have sufficient time to play around with.

In case you havn’t already realised, I’m not actually underwater.
The pic is of me jumping off my bed (as you do!) . Then I added one of Hannah Katarski beautiful free water textures to it.

In many ways, this cold weather is making me feel v e r y uninspired!

Winter usually throws my emotions all out of whack, I tend to blame my abhorrent moodiness on the cold weather. However today I’m in a good mood- for no apparent reason really. And when I’m in a good mood, all I want to do is shop!

I have a few items in mind, which I think will go well with my existing winter wardrobe:

-rich caramel colored wool coat
-round collar cashmere navy blue sweater
-beige suede short ankle boots
-tan leather oxfords (I really like the shape and simplicity of the pair on Urban Outfitters, however it’s not leather! BOO!)
-black cashmere wrap/scarf

…now, the hard part..
…trying to find exactly what I’m picturing in my head!!

*I re-edited these pics.  It was really frustrating for me to see just how over processed the previous ones were.*

Ahhh Sunday. It’s my favorite day of the week. Sundays usually comprises of a lot of walking around with our cameras in tow. We walk for hours, sometimes sitting to rest in between and to do a bit of people-watching, then it’s back up on our feet until our legs give in. Either that or when the contents of our conversation slowly stray away from photography jargon…and onto mouth-watering decriptions of what shall we eat for dinner tonight?

Photography and eating good food are the two loves of my life!
