>total randomness

>thought I’d share some more snaps from my recent vacation…

the hotel we stayed in Bromo, East Java

view from the hotel (and our  balcony!)

Dad’s birthday

late night snack with the family (after some serious karaoke)

the bus ride back to Canberra (saw plenty of cows and sheeps)

Since it’s Saturday and classes haven’t started yet (and no course outlines to bound me to the books yet to be purchased!), I’m gonna sit in front of my fave creative table and play around with my new goodies 🙂

Bon week-end!

>Let it swirl, let it swirl, let it swirl

>Managed to finish the roller coaster earrings just before I flew back to Canberra (cold, super cold!), and in the coldness of Canberra I thought of the perfect words (song) to go with these earrings. Who can totally hear this song when you look at them sparkly, swirly earrings?

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we’ve no place to go

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Now please excuse me as I resume watching ugly betty’s ultimate finale, covered in my warm, fluffy blanket.

>I Heart Blogs

>The day has come to show my appreciation for some of the amazing, unique, heartwarming blogs that I religiously read on a daily basis. These blogs comes from real people, doing everyday things that you and I do, experiencing what I like to call the roller coaster of life, and even though I’ve never met them in person, I feel a weird connection to them (weird, because I’ve only read and seen the occasional pictures).

I’m going to mention 10 blogs I absolutely adore and recommend you to check out (if you haven’t already!) in no particular order. It’s not easy to select only 10 blogs I tell you, but I’ve narrowed down my choice to these 10 bloggers that have had me hanging by their words/snaps/perspectives ever since I’ve ‘discovered’ them:

1. Fashion Coconuts: Fashion Loving and Bashing – Lady Noix de Coco is one truly tough lady to please (fashion-wise), she could turn your world upside down with laughter as she dissects the world of fashion and bring in her witty take on fashion!
2. jennifhsieh – Jen has a very casual girlie chic style, this girl will show you that you don’t need the high end luxury goods to look super chic!
3. Butterfly Cupcakes & Daffodils – Chloe is an art student. She shows you how to ‘artify’ your fashion sense in her blog. I love how down to earth and very real she is in her blog.
4. 365 Fashion Rehab – They went a WHOLE YEAR without shopping! and now that they’re shopping again, they’re doing it very wisely (and shows you how to!)
5. The Fashionista Next Door – Ife’s taken street fashion by storm! absolutely love her style 🙂
6. hellocatherine! – Cathy brings you the blogworld from the Middle East (and I instantly felt a connection with her as a former Dubaian). She’s a super sweet girl with a rocking fashion sense.
7. Fashion Butter – because she blogs from a Greek island (one of my dream!), because she takeas amazing photos!
8. Hundy & Undy – because she’ll bring you amazing finds for under $100 🙂
9. She is Sara – Sara’s such a sweet lady, with gorgeous pictures, outfit, and inspiring stories.
10. Miss Jones & Me – Brooke has an enviable closet and takes amazing snaps, what more do you want?:P

I hope you stop by their blogs and take a peek. Would love to hear what you think of ’em!:)

>I Heart Blogs Event

>Don’t you just love stumbling upon fantastic blogs by accident? Do you feel that it’s sometimes difficult to find amazing, unique blogs in the blogosphere world (like finding a couple of  tiny needles in a huge haystack without your much needed glasses)? Well, stop looking for your  glasses and come back here on Thursday, 15th July 2010!

Why, you ask me?

The stylish kids in riot have organized an ‘I Heart Blogs‘ day, where participating bloggers would show their love of the amazing talents out there (it’s like finding a vintage Chanel bag on a super SPECIAL price!).

So, stick around for I will share with you some of my best kept bloggers 🙂
