my kind of jeans 2007-07-23 12:43:44
Sometimes nothing beats the good old comfortable denims that fits comfortably for any casual outing or just a busy weekend shopping spree. While I am not that sort who look good in any kind of jeans, I won’t resort to a chicago cosmetic surgery like some celebs do! This pair of Joe’s Jeans Lover in LoveThe Lover looks just great for me:) A little looser, a little lower on the hip, it’s a little boyish to a certain extent but hey, who is to judge if you are wearing a boy’s cut? What matters is the comfort and fit, you want to feel good about it - dress up or dress down to your liking - make sure you can still bend down to touch your toes! For me, skinny jeans are a no-no and boot leg ones are good only with high heels or wedge shoes. I am just not that kind of girl who fit into any kind of jeans.
What about you?
fantasy art 2007-07-23 11:25:58
The first time I came across fantasy
art was during my lecturing days in a design school as I was surrounded by a group of creative, young design students who were keen on illustrations. With the advancement of digital medium, they had explored the creativity in fantasy art in new and fresh ways. If you are interested in the realistic illustrations found in fantasy art, don’t miss the newly launched New Masters of Fantasy collection Volume III. Tapping on both the traditional as well as high tech digital art, you can view the illustrations in various styles and combination of artistic techniques.
show your nails and toes 2007-07-23 01:01:36
How often do you have your medicure and pedicure done? I know of many ladies of leisure who do theirs once a week but personally, I can’t seem to find the time to do that. I had my pedicure done yesterday, in anticipation for my event tomorrow, that itself was a last minute reservation as time is simply too scarce these days.
When it comes to nail colours, I choose only OPI for its quality and wide selection of shades. I believe well-trimmed and nicely painted nails
is one important modeling tips for the catwalk babes. But even if you are not aspiring to be a model, it feels good to show off those coloured nails and toes, especially when clad in those open-toed sandals.
OPI has a cute ‘Try it on studio’” that allows you to see your painted nails in the shades of your selection on the website. I thought it was fun! Go pick your shades and try it out!

Jackie-O shades by gucci 2007-07-22 21:28:40
I’m one of those who have more than 3 pairs of designer shades in my accessory collection but there is one other style which I have yet to add to date, that is the fashionable Jackie
-O style. After browsing around in the Web, I still think the ones at Gucci portray a nice touch of feminity and clean style. (more…)
anyone adore hats? 2007-07-22 20:54:47
Everytime when I’m on a vacation, I will end up with a new hat. Don’t ask me why I adore
hats but I do! I still can’t get over my lost Polo Ralph Lauren hat during a vacation in New Zealand couple of years ago
I saw this hat in a New York hair transplants magazine and simply adore the fabric and colours. I have many dark coloured hat so it’s nice to add a light and pastel one to my collection. If you like hats, berets or anything to crown your head, yoox.com has a wide collection of them.
Anyone loves hats too?
shopping for a new bed 2007-07-26 10:20:09
As if I haven’t had enough of furniture shopping… I’m done with office furniture so now, I’m into some home furniture shopping!
I’ve been looking around for a nice bed. Few years ago, we heard a loud ‘thump’ in the middle of the night and we jumped out of the bed! Our bed had collapsed on the left side (the side where my husband slept) and my hubby managed to fix it with some nails the next morning. Lately, we heard some squeaking when we tossed and turned on the bed and we were too afraid that the same incident would happen.
Being a modernist, I’m looking at some stylish beds at this luxury bedroom furniture store known as Great Priced Furniture. Besides a huge selection of bed designs, the online store is a great furniture store for your children, kitchen, living room, dining, baby and home office. At Great Priced, you are totally spoilt for choices and luxury is found in every furniture item and you are not short of unique designs.
healthcare furniture 2007-07-26 09:10:24
I was first introduced to the QC Reclina Care Recliner Chair when I visited my Aussie guardians in Perth last November and couldn’t agree more that it was one of the more comfortable healthcare chair for the home or office. It is highly recommended for good support with infinite reclining positions thus making it a popular chair for caregivers and patients.
At a list price of $1,835, you can buy it at $1,029 plus free shipping at ofconcepts.com, that means a huge savings of $806! Well, not sure if it’s really good for as an office furniture as the soothing, patented rocking motion may become a distraction on those lazy afternoons.
office modernity 2007-07-26 08:30:23
Finally, we completed our public event for this year and I can now start shopping for some modern office
furniture for the company. I always prefer a simple and minimalist look with no clutter and too much elaborated details. This Daytona Glass Table is a nice addition to a conference room and the frosted tempered glass creates a spacious design to the room. With a tag of $2,800, this is pure luxury and style with a touch of corporate elegance.
premier recovery 2007-07-25 04:43:34 I’m seeing alot of publicity on drug rehab centers on the web lately. All of these references focus on addiction treatment for those struggling in drug abuse, alcoholism and drug addiction. With so many drug rehabs springing at every corner of US, some are focusing on premier settings for the centers to ensure a relaxing and comfortable recovery process. I’m actually quite impressed with some of the settings which come with big plasma TVs, nice ocean views, well landscaped herb and flower gardens and luxurious furniture.
It looks like the standards for drug rehab centers are increasing as people become more affluent.
organic cotton yoga tops 2007-07-25 04:35:31
Attending gym, aerobic classes, yoga sessions are becoming part of the lifestyle for alot of women. Some go to the extent of counting calories and building muscles to keep trim and fit. Others focus on supplements, strict nutrition and even drinking muscle formulas such as muscle milk to keep those muscles lean and well toned.
These imported yoga tops from Gaiam are flattering and look comfy. With a V-neck cut in both the front and back, the tops are made of 90% organic cotton/10% spandex. Unfortunately the printed ones are no longer available and maybe other designs will be added to the collection. $28 at Gaiam.com

show dog store 2007-07-24 21:27:12 One cool thing I like to do whenever I get a chance is to enjoy a show dog event. Though I don’t keep pets, it is nice just to watch these groomed pets parading on the stage with all the cute appearance, dressing, accessories and style.

They use top quality dog shampoo and wash to give their favourite pets a good bath and then followed by a nice grooming session using metro dog dryers.

bedroom secrets 2007-07-28 22:36:14
It’s been raining alot in the past week and it’s nice to snooze and sleep into even without keeping the Auto air conditioning on. I love to be adorn in comfy and soft pyjamas and sleepwear, boxer sets and lounge wear. For nice browsing and good collection of women’ intimate wear, Victoria Secrets remains one of my faves. With floral designs to sexy intimates and lingerie, Victoria Secrets spells feminity, luxury and style. These sheepskin super-plush slip-on with a dainty bow are nice on those cold, winter nights and mornings.
get into the sharps 2007-07-28 17:30:10 I believe the following information is favoured by men more than women and it is just the nature of the products. Growing up with a big brother who is 3 years older, I tend to be influenced by him in some ways. I recalled my brother as someone who enjoyed martial arts in his younger days and would watch shows related to some special skills including ninja fighting and chinese sword fighting. The only things I could recall those special sabres and chunky swords on the TV movie screen or those artistic looking ninja ones.
Living in the internet age means we also witness the sale of special swords for martial arts being sold in an online store and Extremely Sharp is one of those niche sites. Stocking knives, swords, throwing stars, crossbows and basically any equipment that relates to self defense and martial arts, the site features a monthly contest and newsletter for those who have particular interests in these specialized hobbies. With prizes that change monthly such as pocket knives,
elsa peretti sevillana ring 2007-07-28 11:42:31
This weekend, I’m back to Singapore for a Image Asset Management workshop followed by a little R&R. The workshop was conducted in Raffles Hotel Arcade and since it was raining cats and dogs outside, I had no choice but to hang around the arcade during lunch time with my real estate broker friend. I couldn’t resist but hopped into Tiffany for a quick look-see, since I needed to get a Tiffany pen for a friend’s birthday - it was a promise I made to a good friend.
After picking my gift, my eyes was set on this elegant Elsa Peretti® Sevillana™ sterling silver ring. It was gorgeous and it fitted so beautifully on my finger. I knew it was dangerous to try it on! After some thoughts, I decided to buy it I’ve always been a fan of Elsa Peretti’s designs but never owned any ring from her collection. Don’t know why but it feels good to have a splurge like this once a while… they call this ‘retail therapy’

planning on a move? 2007-07-27 11:10:06 Finding the right furniture is a daunting task but so is moving to an apartment.

Then, you need to find a good and reliable mover that wouldn’t charge you an arm or a leg.

Well, if the above mentioned situations concern you in any way, check out this one-stop guide on helping you make the right decisions as you decide on moving to an apartment. From apartment hunting to roommate finding to controlling your budget and credi, this si Read more:planning
let’s go jewelry shopping! 2007-07-31 12:08:00 They say ‘diamonds are a girl’s bestfriend’.. do you agree? Maybe this common quote is a statement of jest for those who are crazy over those sparkles but actually, I do adore diamonds, though I wouldn’t call them my bestfriend

hydragea necklace by Mike Tanaka 2007-07-31 10:47:12
This is an irresistible piece that is feminine and elegant. The designs of Miki Tanaka
is enchanting and inspirational. I like the way floral patterns are used to bring out the arty-cool sensibility. This hydrangea necklace in oxidized sterling silver is versatile and contemporary, playful and subtle for any occasion - dress up or dress down. It comes with a price tag though… $297… well, it’s a little extravagant, I think

There are many ways to flaunt and simplicity in clean style is the way to go this season. I can’t take my eyes off Rachel Pally’s appreciation for grace, fluidity, and expression

my marc by marc jacobs handbag 2007-07-30 19:55:43
I told you I was in a shopping splurge during this last trip in Singapore. I needed some personal space it was a little shopping before heading down for a couple of meetings yesterday. Lo and behold, Marc by Marc Jacobs was having a 50% sale - woohoo!
I picked up a capri pants and a casual jacket going at 50% sale and standing at the cashier counter, a nice looking leather bag caught my eyes! It was a Teri Tote in the softest calf leather and I loved the shape and elegance of it. It was disappointing that the bag was not on sale as it was a new arrival. With lots of space in the 2 patch pockets at the front and 2 other interior pockets, this bag is versatile and stylish.
I came back and did an online search and found it in shopbop.com and was I shocked to notice a huge price difference (S$200), if only I do my research first! Even with S$80 UPS shipping included, I could still save some money for a nice meal in a restaurant. This goes to show that US online stores are cool places to s
exotic bangkok 2007-07-30 07:21:34 Three years ago, we visited Bangkok before the birth of Clayton and had a great time there. We had heard so much about the city from friends and was glad that we finally made it there to experience the culture and city life for ourselves. If you ask me, the thing that left me the most memories were the shopping and dining scene… they were simply marvelous! Bangkok is known for its delicious exotic
cuisine and the flea market, Cha Tu Chat. I was so glad that I had a chance to visit before Clayton’s arrival as there was no room for strollers in this busy weekend market!
Before the trip, we spoke to friends and found out all the best places to visit and dine. Jim Thompson house was another great place to spend the day… loved those Thai silk and apparel. After doing some research on the wide selection of Bangkok Hotels, we chose to stay in Novotel Siam Square, a nice hotel with delicious buffet breakfast and most importantly, it was accessible with the train station tha
hot kitchen trends 2007-07-30 06:27:01 For the ‘Queen of the House’, here are some current news of what is “hot” in the kitchen trends:
Stainless Steel - Right now stainless is extremely popular. Often brushed for a more metallic texture, this grey metal matches most of the current appliances and follows a modern theme. I simply prefer shower faucets with stainless steel finishes.
Oil Rubbed Bronze - This is very popular as it is more rustic or old style. Sometimes brushed to show flecks of the underlying bright copper/bronze (Delta’s “Venetian Bronze”). Often covered with a baked-on patina (ie, the oil-rubbed look) - beware harsh cleaners can damage the patina (and void the warranty)!
Brushed Nickel - A slightly different tone from stainless, and more often seen in the bathroom than kitchen (stainless being more popular to match appliances). This grey-brushed metal can have a slightly warmer look than stainless. It has been said that it can also show fingerprints a bit mor
