Premio Dardos - more blog love 2008-10-28 04:20:00 The most incredibly inspirational blogger Susanna-Cole from Girl Meets NYC sent me this amazing blog award. The premio dardos award, this award is given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing. It is more special receiving it from such a talented writer, S-C. I'm really not as special but I accept this award humbl
Australian Woman of the Year - Anna Plunkett - Romance was born 2008-10-27 22:38:00 "Who is the most exciting woman in Australia today and why?"Question like this gets me stumped. It is embarrassing to call myself Australian
!When Imelda Matt asked us, bitches, to vote for Anna Plunkett* I thought it will be one of those casual voting with no ‘thinking and research’ involved. I assumed wrong. Well I wasn’t terribly happy to give away my age and gender alone answering a trick Read more:Romance
Seoul Fashion Week SS 09 - Finale 2008-10-27 18:00:00 This is just to finish off my coverage of the SeoulFashion
Week Spring/Summer 2009. We often say ‘save the best for last’. It seems like SFW organisers did just that. As I wasn’t actually there, in Seoul, to experience all the buzz and excitement, I was able to objectively look at each collection and show you just interesting stuff selected from the official list of over 30 well esta Read more:Finale
Shoes shopping for fall, winter and summer 2008-10-26 18:00:00 These are my shoes picks for this fall, spring and summer depends on where you are. I rarely pay full prices when shopping so these are no exceptions. I picked out these from the sales section of DJ Premium that ships internationally. If you do like any of these you’d better hurry as not many of them will be available. Also they don’t have all sizes as I specified here. Happy shoes shop Read more:winter
Bag love with whosbag 2008-10-25 23:03:00 Gratuitous bag post this one because I love bags but my last bag post was way back in August. I can’t believe I’ve been neglecting my bag love for over a month. It’s unforgivable to call myself a lover of bags and I don’t blog about it more often. I was going to round up the remainder of the Women’s collection for Seoul Fashion Week SS 09 but I wanted to take a break. There are s
11 years ago and counting 2008-10-25 10:48:00 Exactly 11 years ago my guy and I got married in Seoul, Korea. Then we had another wedding in Perth in January on the following year. It was a logical decision as we couldn't mobilize two families in Korea and Australia. I heard that one could renew a vow after 10 or 25 years of marriage. Because I would really like to try a vintage lace wedding gown I'm hanging out for the renewal and the whole
Modern day muse -Sea of Shoes 2008-10-24 22:39:00 I thought muses gave ideas to fashion designers. That's how one particular look becomes artful creations for the runway fashion then it gets spread far and wide so that the very style pops up in local shops like Target and the like. I do not claim to know the exact science of how a muse is found and the seasonal fashion is created. Muses seem to live in a different world. They should have t Read more:Modern

Seoul Fashion Week SS 2009 - Surprising Men's Labels 2008-10-24 09:26:00 Surprises are not always good or bad. The surprise I got today finding two other awesome men’s wear designers among women’s wear collection was a peculiar one. a) I was kind of getting in the mood for feminine beauty b) the designs were masculine contrary to what I saw during the first two days of initial MW collections.Let’s start with Beyond Closet. I was all along wondering how the y Read more:Fashion

Magazine reading without page flips 2008-10-24 06:39:00 This isn't much of a post really as I just ripped off a video from Mondblog. Very fetching Raymond showed me a new way of reading magazines. My obessive nature always demands very fast flipping of pages. So much so that my guy often complains about the draft that is caused by the page flips. Now I wouldn't want to do that with this 'Vidflip'. Anyone care to do this for me for this month's Vogue? { Read more:Magazine
Seoul Fashion Week SS 09 - Hun Jong's dresses 2008-10-21 09:16:00 After looking at Korean guys who are prettier than average girls and coveting garments of the other sex for two days I was expecting something spectacular from the start of the women’s wear collection on the 4th day of SeoulFashion
Week. However, I was mildly disappointed. There was none of ‘heart stopping’ gorgeous dresses or ‘OMFG’ crazy experimental shows. It was just series of n

, probably Australian size 6-8, American 0?). How do I know all this? I've never met this woman although I wish I have. These are models shots from a Korean online shopping site. I fall in love with this look and of course, everything she is wearing is availab Read more:Shopping
Seoul Fashion Week SS 09' Men's Wear Collections 2008-10-20 09:01:00 My newly found love for Korean fashion wasn’t going to be dampened by lack of response from the PR company organising the SeoulFashion
Week (SFW). I did contact them asking for press access but I haven’t heard from them yet. I didn’t expect this to be easy but Korea being a world leader in the Internet I was hoping for a better treatment. Let’s wait and see, shall we?Susie from Style

Seoul Fashion Week and André Kim 2008-10-19 03:35:00 I thought the fashion week season was over but I was wrong. While I was venturing into the uncharted area of other Korean-English blogs I realised that SeoulFashion
Week has just started yesterday. I do wish I was there to witness the shows. Funny thing is that I was never a big fan of Korean fashion until recently. Seoul is a big place. It is probably about 5 times bigger than entire state
Dressing Songy No.2 - Songy wears chunky heels 2008-10-18 10:48:00 Finding fabulous looks in magazines and polyvore is one thing but putting things together for real to dress myself is something else entirely. I find that what I see in glossy publications and style sets I put together online are not realistic for a couple of reasons.Body shape matters: honestly, I cannot wear high-waisted jeans although I love the set I created in my last post.

Dressing Songy No.2 - Intro to fugly platform heels 2008-10-12 09:20:00 When I saw these shoes at Rubi* I felt the same curiosity that I had when I first saw my black canvas shoes at Cotton on. First of all, I thought the design was interesting. Secondly, I thought I wouldn't buy something like that if I wasn't blogging. Lastly and most importantly I was wondering how one would dress with that kind of shoes. I decided to seek my blog readers’ collective wisdom. Read more:Dressing

Solider on 2008-10-10 22:20:00 Admittedly I was out of blogging action only for two days but it feels like it’s been weeks. My Google reader says there are whopping 300 posts that I missed out in two days. There are also newly found bloggers whom I owe a visit or two. I wanted to come back to it refreshed and happy. Alas I haven’t got my ‘gruntle’ back but I decided to solider on. Since my ‘giant cookie’ mishap I ha
Mankind is no island 2008-10-08 20:24:00 As I'm taking a little break I leave you with a short film, winner of Tropfest NY 2008, Mankind is no island. This was shot with a mobile phone by Australian blokes with a total budget of less than $60 AUD. Story matters. Technology and money do not.Here is an interview with the creator of this movie.

The result of my unhappiness shows in my eating habit.

I cannot say that I can’t wait to turn 40 but I’m more comfortable knowing that there are so many of you who are actually happy as women contrary to what we are lead to beli Read more:things

All these years I’ve never got fined for any traffic infringements. This week I got two.I used to live on rice and noodles. Had to have a big bowl of
Fashionable November in Perth and Fremantle 2008-11-13 02:17:00 This is a big show-off to those who live in a city where fashion shows are non-existent. I’m not saying that Perth

with three big shows lined up. If you live in Perth and like fashion stuff get off your arse and head on down there!Fremantle High Street Fashion Colle Read more:Fashionable
