Sometimes, i felt like i was holding my breath and forgot to breathe...<br />
I am delighted with the new found responsibilities, yet there are times where i feel that i really do have to much on my plate. This week has gone by so quickly because i am constantly busy and i have been kept on my toes.<br />
<br />
On a lighter note, i got 3 really cute work dresses from <a href="http://www.cue.cc/">Cue</a>.<br />
2 of which are sweet black dresses,so Audrey-esque. As they are so plain, i turn to Polyvore for inspirations to spice them up for work, weekends and date nights.<br />

I stumbled upon this link on Jen's blog. It makes all your photos beautiful, especially for uploading photos on my Etsy shop. It creates the perfect mood of nostalgia, like a stack of forgotten polariods found in a dusty chest hidden in the attic.<br />
It is also useful for all other photos you have. Best of all, this website is free.shanwenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07881408856608986368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434981846606660624.post-81946805732552251582010-08-25T03:20:00.000-07:002010-08-25T03:21:19.536-07:00Diet Coke Puppet AdThe soundtrack, the dance moves and the 'dolls' have been looming around in my head for ages. I have to share this here. The dolls are so glamourous and gorgeous.. <br />
<br />
like Blythe dolls, Bratz and Barbie combined.<br />
This advertisement is very light hearted and cheerful. One of the best i have seen so far.<br />
I may as well convert to drinking Diet Coke !<br />

Last Saturday was Jenn's bridal shower. A low-key and sophisticated high tea with lovely conversations and games. With one of the activities, we were told to answer a mini quiz on what Jen wore that day. <br />
<br />
Nonetheless, she gingerly left the area, hoping that no one would not noticed.<br />
Anyway, this is very similar to what she wore.<br />
It is extremely ladylike, sweet and chic. I got most of it right by memory.. i guess.. LOL<br />
<br />
For you Jennifer =)<br />
i hope you like it<br />

New responsibilities coming onto my plate, mastering my current work, imparting knowledge to fellow staff, learning new tasks all at the same time. Sometimes i feel like i have overcommited myself and drowning in a neverending pool of work and " urgent " tasks.<br />
<br />
However, that aside, i managed to squeeze time in and made a trip down to Giraffe cafe with <a href="http://www.on-the-sunny-side.blogspot.com/">Kelsie</a>.<br />
Here some of the pictures i took. Every trip to Giraffe is enjoyable, relaxing, rejuvenating and comforting, the list goes on. It is a quick break in the middle of the week, an escape from the daily grind where i can immensed in homely zakka style decor.<br />

I have been at home, avoiding all outside contact because of my poor rumbling tummy. I am not sure if i am actually hungry or if the spice is still burning my stomach walls.<br />
Anyway, that aside, it is the weekend and i am going to share some lovely home inspiration pics for a good pick me up. As you would know by now.. i am a homebody and would love to curl up at home for any given chance. These pictures are so comforting, courtesy of <a href="http://www.decor8blog.com/">Decor 8</a>.

I have been scouring through Polyvore for winter dressing ideas. Honestly, i am overwhelmed. There are way too many combination of clothes and inspirations... This particular Japanese giant cardi caught my eye. It is slouchy with style, thrown in with some romantism. I could also wear this to work if i want... =)<br />

I was buckling under pressure when i saw that the shop was having final season clearance sale . So i went in 2 days in a row trying to figure out which pair i should buy.. <br />
Eventually, i left with a slim fitted long black boots with stable heels. It made me even taller, which is a good thing as i hardly wear heels.. But alas, people at work thought that i was way too tall.. I was literally toweing over the guys.. hmm<br />
anyway, that is not going to deter me from wearing it frequently throughout winter..<br />
i love winter .. because i get to don all these lovely wool coats and strut in boots !<br />
By the way, here are some ways i can wear it - courtesy of polyvore again<br />
I need inspiration to help me dress these babies up =)<br />

This place is so quaint with a gentle cross play of japanes zakka and scandinavian style.<br />
It has a lovely ambience and decor, i feel like packing my bags and move in immediately ! <br />
I can forsee more visits and even a knitting catch up despite this place being packed all the time.<br />
<br />
The best item on the menu.. sesame chicken noodle salad.. thanks to Jen too =)<br />
I need to learn how to make the creamy sesame sauce at home.<br />
Once i figure that out, i will definitely share it here<br />
That's all for now<br />

For example, if you have a plain long cardigan and not sure how to spice it up or what to wear with, you can seek inspiration from the sets created in Polyvore by other users. How good is that ?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Look at how each set has a special theme or look. I have also created my own set here.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This is what would love to wear all holiday season here in sunny Melbourne. </span><br />

Happy New Year!<br />
<br />
It is time i get jump back into the blogging bandwagon again.<br />
<br />
My last post was in <a href="http://www.yarndebauchery.blogspot.com/">here</a>, in my old blog Kniterela, where i last documented all my knitting adventures 10 months ago..It was sadly neglected due to various degrees of procrastination. <em>I swear that i have written and re-written my posts in my head several times , just that i haven't got around to it! haha</em><br />
<br />
However, to date, knitting activities had been slow and sluggish, partly due to the hot Aussie summer. I have lost my mojo and need new inspiration.<br />
<br />
New Year celebrations was quiet. Just champagne, chocolates and a good DVD at home. Something simple and stress-free.<br />
It was pouring out here in Melbourne throughout the whole New Year's eve night... I wonder how it would affect the fireworks preparation and those revellers..<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, my annual leave is almost coming to an end and i would have to drag my sorry ass back to work ( pardon my language as this is how i feel about my work )<br />
The purpose of this blog is to document my crafting journey, design inspirations, etsy merchantile skills and random ramblings. <br />
Having a new blog is one of my new year resolutions of 2010, <em>we shall talk about other resolutions later</em>. For the past 2 years, i kept to my resolutions and made them happen ( 2008: to start an etsy shop , which i did ; 2009: to double my etsy sales and get new job in the corporate world, which i accomplished as well ) Hence, i am confident that this will work.<br />
Keep checking this space for more inspirations, giveaways and much more.<br />
<br />
P.S: here are some of the new necklaces i have created during my leave. They are now in my <a href="http://www.prettypeonies.etsy.com/">shop</a>. Enjoy<br />
Cheers<br />
