I’ve been going au natural nails for the past week, and I must say, it feels liberating to be free of muck chemicals on the tips of my appendages. I could actually hear the nails breathing (asthmatic huffpuffs) and every day I would make them all stand straight so I can mark their height on the adjoining fleshwall with a sharpie. Oh my babies are growing so fast.

erm.

Waiting for 2 boxes of stuff I bought from a Korean online store – well let me say, by now I forgot what I bought.

Hope you all had a good weekend. I still have 5 more days of it now. MUSHAHSHAHAHSH.

Air hostess colours today, not sure which airline. A bit of pre-2005 Korean Air with a hint of Lufthansa maybe…

Fashion room, outside the Tsars exhibition

The V&A is so inspiring, it’s a crime that I live in London and don’t visit the place more often.

The Tsars collection is fantastic – did you know most royal coronation suits and uniforms were designed by the Tsars themselves? Jeez they have good taste, they should’ve done fashion design instead of country design. We all saw how that was a failure. kidding. Well you must agree at least Nicholas II in the end…

Pity they don’t allow photography in the paid exhibitions.
(It ends on the 29th March, so anyone in London, I recommend a visit!)

I went fabric shopping the other day, searching for a new 1m to fling around my neck and call it a scarf. Ended up getting some black sheer fabric for a skirt idea, bit of soft black leather for leather garter maybe and a metre of khaki army-esque fabric for the neck.

Now watch me fail with the sewing machine.

Doris, my sewing machine, chainsmokes and spits in the flowerpot. The area under her armpit is always dark and she wears mules around the house. We do not get along very well.

These boots get more attention from men than women – one guy walking by actually stopped and turned around. Could be either wtfart is she wearing or holy cupcake I want those. (Or was he checking out my rear end?) Creeping suspicion that it’s the first one though.

For those wondering about the processes of my ‘photoshoots’: First my beszt friend Ellen takes my outfit photos outside, then I gently escort it home where I brutally vandalize by cropping and editing colours & lighting. My camera model is Canon EOS 400D, but as I’ve said to a few, it’s a particular lens that makes the photos what they are – and which lens, is my little secret.

Indoors (i.e home) outfit shots is me struggling with the tripod and remote – which usually ends up with throwing the remote to see if I can hit the shutter button.

Doo.Ri inspired tights still not ready, taking über-über longer than expected… But I do like that it’s going in a more personalized direction – instead of the exact replica.

We celebrated our 4th Anniversary today, my darling stubborn Polish boyfriend and I.

We walked from Canary Wharf to Covent garden along the Thames, which is about 5.2miles/8.32km according to Google Map, occasionally stopping to observe pigeon porn by the river or to gobble up our picnic-on-wheels. (Which drew the pornstar pigeons closer, so we fled) Then came the traditional Mexican dinner – having walked 1/5 of a marathon, we asked for one of each and licked all plates clean. Took a bus home, both 6 months pregnant with burritos and nachos, boyfriend almost went into premature labour with a burp. My I think we do make a good couple.

New shoes!:

H&M, Combat Boots (Ebay)

Finally found those H&M shoes, after literally revisiting the store almost everyday (major advantage of having school in centre of London). The flower thing in the heels and front panel really aren’t that bad, the double straps are really what’s worth it.
The combat boots from ebay are actual military issue, so they’re rock heavy but sturdy. Score for £5! I didn’t want to get ye olde Doc Martens so I searched for combat boots on ebay – luckily men’s size 6 is rather rare and not many are interested in them.

So here’s an Ebay tip, If your shoe size is UK6/7 (US8.5/9.5), there are plenty of quality leather boots and vintage DocMartens floating around with dirtcheap starting bids desperately trying to attract men with small feet. Shoesize-wise, in the UK it’s the same, men’s size 6 = women’s size 6; but in the US men’s size 6 = women’s size 8, difference of two.

Everyone having a good weekend?
