I'm back to blogging after being away for longer than I would have ever wanted to. And now I hope to stay on top with the postings! So I just got my DSLR (Nikon D5100) and that got me all excited, although the learning aspect of using the camera can sometimes get frustrating. But in the end the picture quality makes it worth it. Here are a few of my first test shots taken just before heading out to a friend's wedding
Dress: Asos
Purse: Nine West
I had so much fun at the wedding that I missed taking a lot more pictures :(
I know I'm a bit late in giving my 2 cents on the SAG Awards
red carpet (thanks to my overwhelming workload at school) but I'll give it
anyway :) While watching the Red Carpet, I just thought if I was holding a
fashion traffic light at the red carpet there were some I'd show the green
light to because they looked stunning, others who I would show the yellow light
because they were so-so but I'd still let them go through, and then a few
others I would straight up show the red light indicating that they had to go back home and
change!

When Did You Decide?
There were a number who rocked the carpet but these are just
some of my top choices, who immediately get the Green light pass. Even though
Guiliana Rancic was a fashion correspondent and not an actor, I thought she
looked absolutely stunning; definitely one of the best dressed! Sofia Vergara
always knows how to dress for her curves, and although she wears similar styles
at her various red carpet appearances, I still think she looked amazing.
Octavia Spencer also worked with her body; she looked fabulous!

When Did You Decide?
Although I loved the color on Jessica Chastain, I wasn’t
really crazy about the dress; I guess it’s because I’m just not a fan of bust cut
dresses. I didn't really like Kaley Cuoco’s Romona Keveza
number, and somehow I just wish the braided band matched the color of her hair, if she really wanted to wear one.
While a lot of people were raving about Michelle Williams in her Valentino
dress, I wasn’t particularly sold. To me, she looked somewhat juvenile…
and that’s just my opinion obviously :) Nonetheless, I’d let these ladies with a Yellow
light pass (aka step it up next time).

Red Light: Shailene
Woodley looks like she was getting ready for bed. Busy Philipps just didn’t do
it for me on that carpet; that whole boho chic thing is just not for the red
carpet… take it elsewhere! And Kristin
Wiig almost had the chance to make it work, but for that choker! I would show
her the red light just to go and take it off. Choker aside, she looked great.
Damn! The looks from Elie Saab’s spring /
summer 2012 runway show at the Paris Fashion Week were nothing short
of amazing! I'm not even sure where to begin... Words cannot explain my lust for this collection. Those bright colors killed me… The pieces are flawless. If I had to
pick (in my dreams, of course) I’m not even sure which one I would take ’cos
they are all gorgeous!!!!! I could totally imagine myself in all the outfits. To see more amazing outfits from the runway: http://www.fashionising.com/runway/b--elie-saab-ss12-15606.html#pg1
Btw, Zara is having sweet sales! I went into the mall over
the weekend simply to buy a birthday card from the Hallmark store. Fortunately –
or unfortunately – for me, I have to walk right past Zara’s to get to Hallmark.
Needless to say my attention got diverted!
On another note, I’m also aware I need to invest in a new
camera because the image quality from my current one definitely isn’t perfect.
So for now I just love playing around with effects to make the pictures looks
nicer.
Gone are the days of insecurity about my height. I’ve
finally conquered my fear of heels, but that definitely didn’t happen overnight.
Now I look back at some of the shoes I bought as recent as 5 years ago and I’m
like what the hell was I thinking! I look at some of my shoes and compare
them with the heels I own now and it sometimes makes me laugh; what I thought was high
enough 5 years ago now looks too low :D
I got this perfume as a birthday present from my boyfriend;
I tried a number of samples and eventually chose this one, but it was not an
easy decision cos they all smell sooo good. The scent is phenomenal. Described
by the makers as “so seductive and frankly erotic,” I couldn’t agree more. Well
actually, I don’t know if I would go as far as branding the scent as erotic,
but I definitely agree that it’s very seductive. I love wearing it! A number of
their fragrances are unisex and they would interestingly work very with both
sexes. The next one I would like to own from the Bond No. 9 fragrance collection is the Scent
of Peace, that’s another great one and I’m running out of my samples.
