I'm cleanin' out my closet!

Two days I had spent window shopping. But in fact, they weren't supposed to be window shopping. I need new working clothes for another round of school year. Summer vacation is almost over and in a matter of four days, it's back to work.

Something that I rarely do is giving my closet a complete clean-up. I'm a very sentimental person and I tend to hold on to things that I love as long as they last. It applies even to clothes. It takes a lot for me to let go. I convinced myself that some clothes that are old had already served their purpose and thus have to go. It even takes more to convince me to let go of stuff that had not been worn or that rarely had seen the world. I psyched myself that if a cloth has not been worn as often as it should, then it has to vacate the closet too. I did a thorough cleaning and whew! it amazed me how much clothes I have to get rid. They all could fit in three over sized luggage and I really have to squeeze them tight to compress.The process was hurting. However, after it was over, it made me feel good. Now my closet is ready to take in new stuff. It has more space.

I have to start with the working clothes. Anyway, those are more important for the moment. So I was excited to go shopping. I and my girl friends set a date. You know, shopping is more exciting when you do it with your girl friends. But sigh! First day we went out, we did not meet our goal. I went home with only a new purse and two winter scarves for my fiance.

Joy, Daisy and Me

I went again for the second day, this time alone. I've searched in and out of the biggest malls in the heart of the city, but sigh! again. Every boutique and every mall are having grand sale mostly 20%-70% both for the high end designers and the high street. Yet too bad, there is nothing that fancy me. Sure the piece might be 50% off, say the original was 2,990baht [$92.80] and after the discount they sell at 1, 495baht [$41.40]; but girl, if you don't like the style, do you have to force yourself to buy it just because it's on sale? Of course not! I cannot afford another luggage of rarely used clothes.

I wonder if it's just me or is it really that most of the designs available in the city right now are not my type? If there are good ones that can make me nod, just nod but not gasp, they aren't on sale and they are quite expensive for a frugal shopper like me.

I pray that I can still find good clothes that would make me happy, after all I'm running out of time, and that they are just within the budget. I guess, this is the down side for a girl who says, I'm a shopaholic no more!

Ruby Pendant

Ruby pendant is a stunning piece of jewelry. If you are thinking of buying one as a gift or if you just want a pendant for yourself you have come to the right place. In this article I am going to give you some tips on what to look for when buying a ruby pendant.
Natural rubies are beautiful and expensive. Natural rubies are rated 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. The color of natural rubies can vary, some are a deep red. While others are red with yellow and orange tones or red with blue and purple tones. A natural ruby pendant should come with a certificate of authenticity. Lab created, also known as synthetic rubies are very affordable. Labs created rubies are absolutely beautiful and it is hard to tell the difference between a natural and a lab created ruby.
The setting you select has an impact on the price of your ruby pendant. Some things for consider are do you want it set in gold? If you so, do you want yellow or white gold? What type of gold do you want 14K or 18K. Because of the expense of gold many people choose 18K over sterling silver. Now you have my 3 tips for buying a ruby pendant. I hope you find these tips helpful and will assist you with purchasing a ruby pendant for yourself or that special someone (Cathy Collins).

Less words Friday, for girls who don't need make up

It's not a total wordless but a less words Friday for me, girls. Just quickly, let me share this photo that impressed me this week. I'm jealous, yes I do get jealous, of girls who don't need make up just to look pretty. Without make up, these girls are still close up material. How blessed are they?

Gold Pendant

Pendants are adornments for necklaces. The most popular styles are lockets and crucifixes. If you are looking to buy gold pendant for a necklace you already own or buying a necklace with a pendant included you should find all of the relevant information included here. Pendants are often made from various precious metals and decorated with precious minerals or an engraved pattern.
As with most gold jewellery, pendants can be made from yellow and white gold. As gold is not naturally white it is worth being mindful that, over time white gold may need to be restored. A 9 carat, solid gold pendant could contain around 35% pure gold whereas and 18 carat solid gold pendant would contain 75% pure gold. This drastically changes the price. Any solid gold jewellery should be engraved with a hallmark. 9ct gold should have the number '375' engraved and 18ct gold will have '750'.
As a rule of thumb silver pendants should be available for less than £50 unless they are particularly heavy, higher grade than sterling or are set with stones that require a higher price. Plain or engraved 9ct yellow gold pendants should cost £50 - £100. Additional stones such as Sapphire, Peridot or Amethyst may require a price tag upwards of £200. Rubies and Diamonds will cost significantly more (Luke Hynek).

First things first!

Can I just say how much I miss shopping in Thailand.....

Seriously everything was just so freaking cheap! The 2 pieces I am wearing above were each $3

Where can you get things that cheap here...?

Now not sure if any of you know much about tattoo artists.... but the reason I took pictures in front of this particular graffiti wall is because it was done by the artist Cartoon. He is super talented and pretty respected in his industry for tattoo's and graffiti! I am a fan of his work and always look forward to seeing more...

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!

How Barbara Palvin wears leopard print

I remembered that three months ago I wrote a style guide which I deem one of the most useful articles that I had written about styling. This opinion of mine was confirmed when I discovered that even Manolo the Shoe Blogger found the article amusing and was kind enough to share the link to his readers. "How to wear animal print" is a list of what's Yay! and what's Nay! in wearing leopard, tiger, zebra or any animal print. If you want to get amused too, you better check the guide.

Tonight is one of those nights, when I sit in front of my laptop wanting to write but with nothing to write. So what I do when those nights come? I surf and visit other blogs, read online magazines and surf more hoping that I might stumble upon something that inspires. But when the muse is too stubborn, I end up wasting my entire night procrastinating. That can be a very bad night.

However, I thought that I better scan my old files. And when I did, there yah go, I saw Barbara Palvin lying down the rocks with mesmerizing eyes urging me to write about her.

So this is how Barbara Palvin wears leopard print. Other than the hat and the belt, everything in her outfit is leopard. Now girls, I'm sure that we understand the difference between the editorial outfit and the ones that we can actually wear in the real world. Even if I honestly love everything in this outfit, I still believe that if you don't wish to look like a jungle wild lost in the streets, you better stay away from going animal from head to toe.
