Ear Candy

 

(Top to Bottom: Anni from Style Hurricane's design $35, Aldo $10.00, Forever21 $3.80, Snake Earcuffs $22.50)

I finally got my ears pierced! So me and the twin are planning on buying matching snake earcuffs, and maybe feathers for me, hohoho.

Lately I've been volunteer working at the YSI Thrift and Gift for volunteer hours and retail experience. I get a 20% discount, yeah! And today is the last day of their extra 50% off all clothes and shoes week.

I was on the search for these pair of shoes I was going to buy, and my brain was lead astray to those relatively new Jeffrey Campbells and my fingers decided to begin typing on my keyboard in a cross-internet search for them. Instead, I was lead to Jeffrey Campbell's website (of course) and his SS/2011 lookbook. I didn't find the ones I was looking for, but these are pretty too.  Chunky shoes <3

But yes, I like that hemp hem at the bottom of the shoe. What do you call that? What is this.. POW! Right in the face.

Suno x Loeffler Raundall

I try super hard not to reblog from Refinery all the time - but these Suno x Loeffler Raundall shoes were just so. pretty. Tres jolies! I have such a thing for huge, wood chunks in shoes, and the prints make it look more pop-arty. They're actually popping up all over the internet, actually (like Nylon!). The two collaborated for Suno's Spring 11 collection.

Lanvin x H&M

Alber Elbaz, the top designer of Lanvin is collaborating with H&M! Et je suis crazy about collaborations, oui. The menswear and womenswear collection is coming out November 2, and perhaps out of those 200 stores it's opening to, we'll be lucky ducks and it'll appear at Santana Row, or the Great Mall!

Buggies

A whole bunch of bug things have popped out, including Sea of Shoe's new bug jewelry line, made out of real tootin' beetles. I sort of like them now too! Here's some bug charms from ornamentea.com, who specializes in charms and jewelry; each bug is pretty inexpensive, from $2-5.

My dad recently bought a bug zapper, shaped like a tennis racquet.

Dad: "It's electrified for super-powered badminton playing!"
Auntie: " Really!? Well then, why'd you just buy one?"

Quoi?

 (Made by Style Hurricane, $25-35)

I haven't been posting as of late because I've been so darn tootin' busy with school (what was I thinking when I signed up for WHAP and leadership!?) but I must be busy all the time or else my mind will wander off to some other place. Can't have that happening.

Yesterday I went shopping and bought a bunch of random things, like a black pencil skirt thing and a pink cardigan, which I will probably end up returning (does anyone else do this?). But, it was the first time the twin and I could run free like willy (who actually swam!) around the mall all by ourselves. So proud (': I also bought that H&M tiger cropped shirt.

I realized I can't buy everything I want, because my pockets are empty, so I need to resort to making a second rate version of them. So sad. I need to somehow create an ear cuff, and then an A-line skirt!

Buys

Now, before you read this, Malaysia is a place with lots of non-pretty clothes, and so when you see an okay thing, you think it's awesome! This probably happened to me (with a case of bon marche)

1)Blazer: 20 RM = $6
I was pretty iffy about this buy; I just thought I needed a blazer as an essential! The price was nice too - YOU SHOULDN'T BUY THINGS FOR THE PRICE FRANCES

2)Outerwear: 25 RM = $8
I thought the gold lining stuff was pretty pretty... but I felt like I bought way too much black!

3)Quilted Red Shoulder Bag: 10 RM = $3.20
It looks sort of like Chanel (I'm pretty sure those fake designer good makers where trying to sell it off as Chanel) but I bought it because I needed some color after all that black... and it was also inexpensive.

4)Zipper Dress: 50 RM = $16
Mom offered to buy this for me, so I thought why not? It's pretty, I feel so girly.

5) Gigantic Flowy Pink Thing: 25 RM = $8
I thought the flowy-ness was very pretty; I also like how it gets longer in the back. It also comes with a pretty lacy under-tanktop, that I was to lazy to put in the picture. I got it stained with some paint... but I'm hoping it's unnoticeable after I drenched it out.

6) Lace Tunic: 30 RM = $10
I have such a weakness for lacey, pretty things..

7) Polka-dotted Highwaisted Zippered Shorts: 15 RM = $5
They were pretty! And polka-dotted... I liked them.

8) Satchel: 25 RM = $8
I bought this at a pretty store filled with 25 RM things; I needed a new bag to replace my other brown one that said "Genuine Leather" on it... which was tacky! So I bought this one.

9) Sheer Thing: 50 RM = $16
I first saw this, and liked it so much! But I didn't buy it at first... because I thought it was expensive! But I kept thinking about it, and, when I think about something for a long time, I have to buy it! This was probably one of my favorites.

I bought some shoes and denim short-shorts too (8 RM!), but I'll put that up some other time.
I have such a bad soft spot for all 8th/9th grade-esque pretty things...

Nonetheless, I felt like I should be really bad-butt in Malaysia! And I started wanting to be Asian-hipster (LIKE I DO EVERY YEAR I GO BACK) but I contained myself, and only wore some ripped up jeans. And a black hat, which as it turns out, no one wears hats in 98 degree weather!

Forever21 Shoes

Forever21, why must you make such pretty shoes now!? I must buy some.

Aldo Fall 2010

One of my favorite shoe stores is Aldo, because it's at the most tippy top of my price range, and has pretty shoes! Their 2010 Fall Collection has several really nice pieces, following the trend of boots, black&brown, clogs, and wedges.

I like the wingtips (I can fly!) on the black boot, and the sort of hidden wedge thing going on in the other two.
I think despite my current height disposition of being short forever, I will consider wearing flat shoes.

These are like back-to-earth brogues, except you'll be towering a couple inches over the ground! (When I think of to-the-earth, I think of my face plastered in the dirt! I had a dream like that once.) I like that colour of brogue, the dark chocolate colour.

Dark chocolate is good for you, by the way. Tons of antioxidents for those of you who want to stay young forever and ever.

I really very much like the first and last shoes here; the first looks bad-butt like you could squish a hundred ants all at once (not that you'd want to) and the last looks like the threesome child of a clog, an oxford, and a football. I love it! I think you'd deliver a pretty nasty kick with these. (images from Aldoshoes)

UO Contest

Giving rise to the current haul blog trend, Urban Outfitters has started a new contest dedicated to all the haul bloggers out there. Go get your shopping shoes, children, and tell UO about everything you've bought.

Suitcase Smugglers

These suitcase stickers offer a little peek into the goodies you're sneaking across the border. The pretty little flight attendant sticker on your suitcase could be the perfect distraction you need to smuggle your newly bought mail-order wife back home. Buy one at the thecheeky.com! This article was brought to my attention by the Daily What VIA tumblr.

Lip service!

Yesterday, after a quick trip to the local coffee shop, and a trip to the wholesale snack store (who was blaring Katy Perry! A rare thing here in Malaysia.) We ended up at a cousin-once-removed's home, and arrived to find 1 baby Rain look-alike, and a music video with machine guns and diva girls blaring on the télévision. 


My mama said it was a band from her childhood, putting the Boney M's around the 70's. (Sorry mama ;) ) 


Il fait chaud en Malaysia, and there's nothing to do here. Alors, I POLYVORED!

Inspired by quoi?

Sned Me Some ChainMail

I just have to say, this is sort of awesome! I would just like the connecting part to be a little looser, you know? This is from ManiaMania's collection, by the way.(VIA StyleBubble)

Shoes shoes shoes

Forever21's been adding lots of shoes lately - and these ones are the prettiest! The one on the left reminds me of something you could find on Aldo shoes; and the one on the right, I've been looking everywhere for you!
