NeckLACE

I've been dreaming about this idea for months now, and have finally taken action and made this necklace. It is the first in a series of three which I hope to finish by tomorrow. I want to wear them in the Big Apple. The necklace is a miniature ornate frame in perspex with a gold backing and vintage lace. I added the little metal mesh bow which I found at Bead It, isn't it cute? Will post the other two as soon as they are done. Ooh and I spoiled myself with a new camera. My old one broke and that explains why my last few posts have just been inspiration pics from the internets tee hee! So there shall be plenty postings of creative goodies in the near future.

Only two more sleeps! I'm so excited YIPEE! Can. Not. WAIT! xxx

Whats black and white and red all over?

Without sounding toooooo Sex and the City; starting the weekend off with my 3 close friends and cocktails on the beachfront is always good. When it leads to a metal-head gig at a dingy 'alternative bar' though, I usually end up going home at 10pm to blog or listen to a Harry Potter audio book or something.

I wore my new gladiator heels to cocktails, as a test of my endurance. I figured if I can manage in them after two-for-one cocktails on a Friday night, I'll hang on to them (I was having second thoughts about them because I bought them a size too small and they are uber high - bad combo). I teamed them up with some black tights, a turquoise vintage dress which I modified, one of my shrug/scarves and a coat - because I had the flu, again.

Too tipsy to smile apparently. Oh look, my birthday clip-on earrings...sweet!

My turquoise vintage dress, nice print and this is the first time I've worn it since I bought it 6 months ago.

Spent the rest of the weekend playing Eternal Sonata on Xbox, trying out the new treadmill and powerplate machine at Kyles place, knitting, and watching tv. This cutie pie slept with us last night, oh my gosh so cute!! Cute cute cute!

Soco...Socute

Oh and this is what I knitted today, another shrug/scarf. I quite like this, with the cream stripe. Its knitted in a very fine mohair yarn, super soft!

After many days in bed...

Eek flu! I had it for almost 2 weeks bleh! So this is what I wore the first day I left the house after many tedious bed ridden days. Excuse the dusty mirror shots. (I'm supposed to be preparing a presentation for later on, 9:30am [its 01:11am now] and I've just done 3 blog posts in a row... can you say 'procrastination')

This waistcoat has the sweetest embroidery, and the buttons are covered in thread. I love little details like that. There's my leather belt again, can't help throwing it in.

Any my favourite shoes (I might have said that about the other pair, but I bought both pairs together so they're equal). They look good with that rug.

Okay I must go prepare now. Cheerio xoxo
