Good bye for 2 weeks

Just had an interview with London Business School. Phew I'm glad it's done.

Packing packing packing and off to Beijing for 2 weeks. I won't have access to xanga there (stupid censor) so I guess I'll catch up when I get back.

I'll leave you with a beautiful picture.

Big, Fat Rock

penelope

I love this sultry picture of her, and I love that ring she's wearing.

Speaking of rings, the BF was cunningly asking me about my ring size the other day.

him: so you know in Alias in that episode when they swapped that guy's college ring to place a bug in it, did you say you had a ring from madeira (my high school)?

me: yeah I did but I gave it away (long story, another time)

him: and your college?

me: you can get rings but I didn't get one

him: so what was it like? did they just have them all manufactured or...

me: no... they're all custom-made, they'll get a measurement of our finger, and we choose the design

him: really? i never had one like that. I've only had cheap ring I bought in normal shops

me: (astonished) you wore rings??!!!

him: yeah.. you know.. i tried different stuff..... I'll show you in fact

him (went to his chest of drawers and pull out a ring)

me: wow it's HUGE! yours hands are so big

him: i know... try and see how it looks like on your fingers

(some playing and joking around later)

him: soooo... your finger (looking at my ring finger) is about the size of my little finger...

me, thinking: ok, I am way too smart not to realize what he's trying to do. but I'll just pretend that I don't


Gisele Bundchen

Gisele_Bundchen-1

I like the look of high-waisted jeans, but they are definitely not for all body shapes. Gisele is totally rocking that pair of jeans.

Since I read so much fashion blogs nowadays, I might as well start introducing images that have caught my eyes.

I have an interview tomorrow morning... fingers crossed...


paris hilton

paris-hilton-sundance-1

I don't like Paris Hilton too much but I cannot resist cuteness. Her bunny-style outfit is so adorable. I don't think I would wear it, because I would look about 15 in that, but a girl can dream.

PS. her shoes are similar style to snow joggers. Maybe I should get a pink pair.

Fashion blogs

I use to be a fashion magazine junkie. Now I'm a fashion blog junkie.

Top 5 reasons why fashion blogs are much better than fashion magazines
- blogs are free. magazines costs £3 to £4
- blogs have quality content (though you have to be selective); magazines could be full of promotions and unrealistic advice. Who can afford a £1000 jacket? Give me insipiration on how to DIY and dress up cheap clothes.
- there are always new blogs to read. magazines get same old same old
- blogs are personal. magazines feel like they're written by robots sometimes
- blogs are updated daily or more frequenctly. magazines monthly

Top 5 fashion blogs I love
- fashion toast
- the sartorialist
- garance dore
- omiru
- fabsugar
