Broken Mirror


My old faithful mirror broke one fateful friday when a little gal in my house knocked against it. She was safe and sound, shocked and in tears, but not hurt. But alas, my poor mirror is gone forever. :(

So...what do you do with a shattered mirror? Well, conduct a photography experiment of course. I thought the breakage lines are quite artistic so I played around with angles.







































Here's a Karen Millen dress I just bought. The oversized flower corsage is really attractive. The only thing is that you can't let down your hair, literally. It gets in the way of the flower and the only way to work the look is to wear the hair up, or at least halfway up like me.









































And lastly, 2 pics of Tiger and myself in my new dress. If I have a weakness, it certainly is this lovely dog. Incidentally, he smells like kaya bun or waffles to me. I don't know how many people agree, but his scent is so delicious. 

Every time I bury my face in his fur and take in a deep breath, it makes me feel so satisfied and happy. If you have a dog, try it. It's pet therapy. Almost as good as a massage, and better than chocolates!

Fitting Room Escapades

I wonder how many people enjoy doing this...but I rather enjoy trying out clothes, then vacillating between acting on my impulse to buy it or to walk away.

Here's me at Karen Millen. Trying out a green satin cocktail dress priced about $500. Haha I look like I just screamed "Lumos!" ala Harry Potter and his wand. Had a hard time walking away from this dress and its wonderful low back cut. Still hankering after it.


The next one is priced about $600 I think and totally goes with my red suede Foxtrot shoes. It's really stylish I must admit, but looked too heavy on my frame. 


Then it's off to adjoining Warehouse boutique at Ion. Here I tried on this black sassy short dress ($176) embellished with studs and sequins. I liked the swingy skirt that was longer at the back. Too bad they didn't have my size. Will be great on the dance floor during a spin.

Here's another that's not me at all..a tasseled red/black dress. I didn't like the floral applique they used as a racer back. Would look hilarious on the dance floor during a spin!! Imagine all those red threads flying about! haha!


Zipped off to Miss Sixty next, one of my favourite brands. Look at that fitting room! So retro!

Dress going for $500 and cardigan $250 I think. The loud prints screams for attention and the material is rather comfy. Now, if only there was a sale...

Must clarify that my rather awkward pose is due to the small size of the fitting room and not my usual custom LOL!!
