Mad for Animal Prints obviously. These tights were bought in packs of 5. I have enough to last me for a very long time.... LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I especially love that they come in a subtle black shade so i can wear them to work and not look  inappropriate. Arguably, these might be considered inappropriate for most people, but i happen to work in a very' hip' and style conscious department..where you get cheers instead of jears for your sartorial choices! Plus i can't imagine working in an office where my 'craziness and weird tendencies' are discouraged...I would just freelance 100%

I tend to wear flats more often these days..idk.it is a 'thing' at the moment. Although 90 percent of my shoes are very high heels, i am staying low to the ground for now. Weird thing is , i also tend to wear the same shoes over and over again even though  i have a shoe closet filled with well.... shoes..I feel like all my heels are jealous, but to make them feel better, I line them up around the room and give them each a good pettin...(O don't judge me).

Gotta go now, Life beckons.....Hope you all are faring well. My very best to you all....xx








Tuesday

Walk in Progress

People call you crazy when you don't think like them
They say you are blind when you don't see like them
They call you a bitch when you refuse to bend over and take it
Why, you must be odd if you veer off into your own thing
Better not let their shit get on you....
The truth is they don't know jack.

I wrote this status message the other day...and it came unprovoked...I don't adjust to any light that i didn't myself create: Be who you are, even if it makes other people uncomfortable. Speak your mind, even it means fewer people will like you. Better to be hated being yourself than to be loved pretending you are somebody else. Don't wait on others to tell you about you,Define yourself in your own words, the way i see it, compliments and flattery can only get you but so far....

Totally Unrelated pictures i just took of me trying to navigate my walk in 'jungle'  closet

dress: Max Studio worn as a one sleeve... dress is MULTI PURPOSE obviously
shoes: Alice & Olivia  for Payless booties
Sweater: Kensie .Worn like this to work last wk

So i've been TRYING to convert my Den into a 4th closet, don't ask...it isa RIDICULOUS. FAIL!  Clothes and whatnots are overflowing from every which way, i oughta hire someone to sort me out , but i am a DIY pusha, i'd rather die trying...so ya anyway , started working on my walk in, the truth is every time i start, the thought of never finishing cuts me off, and with any little time i have to devote, Life keeps a'tuggin from every angle .....

 in the future instead of a mansion with walk in closets like some stuffy princess, i want a loft decorated to look like a huge fitting room  with wall to wall mirrors ,with my shoes on permanent display in built in wall shelfs and racks and racks of clothes sorted by type as my  only focus. Thats it. ok maybe add my bicycle randomly perched against the wall...and you will have me..

The Holiday Season is amongst us, haven't quite prepared myself for the madness, skipped out on Halloween as i've always done, can't be bothered to get riled up  and excited over a holiday i don't quite get. I might be jaded but i don't really care.

City Trekking:
 The Only form of exercise i recognize :)
 Moreover You simply can't explore the world around you from the window...

What I wore :  A reworked H &  M Scarf...i draped it around my neck and put on the vest, belted the extra in the front and fluffed out the bits around the shoulder to form the puffy sleeves. Voila!! People seemed to like the idea of it, especially the H&M crew, wonder if they will let me dress their mannequins?? lol.

I don't believe in alot of things, but this scared the living cynic outta me...errr well maybe for a while ... in the next few days i plan on sleeping with all the lights on...

Hope you all are doing well....moral of the day...Life can get very busy ...no matter how overwhelmed you are don't forget to sometimes stop to smell the roses....Even if you can't slow down, a little time off reserved for fun every now and then  could be just what the doctor ordered..

Case of the Mondays
The dreaded Mondays,
I am never ready for ...not nearly ever
no matter how much i prepare the night before...
Dusk till Dawn...the hustle knows no end

Where did October go?
I feel like i am stuck in a continous day
Everyday seems to blend in
there is so much to do, and little time to do it
Hope you are all doing well...for those of you with free time, I envy you...Enjoy it while you can!

P.s I want to express my continued appreciation for all your lovely comments, you guys rock!!!! air kisses!!

This  faux fur vest was my  first Ebay purchase...purchased 6yrs ago in my first year of Uni. First time wearing it. It originally had sleeves which i chooped off on a whim two years ago, since then it has been hanging in one of my closets as decoration. But on this particular day, i felt like pulling it out of the closet and from the random pettings by strangers and what nots, i couldn't help but love it even more. Hoarders really do know best eh:). The dress is a BGBG dress from a long while ago.  My assessories are from an Asian Market near my family home and Forever 21...i love Animal motifts , so the owls and elephant encrusted bangles i wear almost everyday! the open toe boots were gifted to me and the bag is a vint hand me down......

  I am a creature of habit, so i basically follow the same routine on Saturdays...wake up, get dressed, go to brunch at Matchbox, walk around, shop , MOVIES, Thai food for Dinner or Sushi at OYA...almost every Saturday, unfailingly dedicated...hey if it makes me happy:)

here is a taste:
