I've got to stop Caramell Dancing =.=

It's just so addictive! XD *shakes right, shakes left... lalala* *LOL*

Ok, back to what I meant to blog about =P

What's your take on studs?

Um... not your average (male) stud, although those are rather interesting *cough tigerwoods cough but seriously he's.got.a.supermodel.at.home.and.he.wants.pornstars?!*

So anyway, studded this-and-that's, you like?

I don't like.

Not really in any case, especially huge studs and heavily studded items.

Or perhaps it has to do with the type and arrangements of studs, because I adore these...

Yummy contrast of textures and colours. Helps to balance the Amazonian warrior aspect of studs XD

Tres Quirky ;)

Elegance with modern day attitude. Nice! :D


From research though, studs were more of a 2007/2008 thing, so Malaysians probably love their studs since studded bags are still so 'hot' :P

One thing's for sure though, I'm lovin' lace! ^^

Lace, Lace, I love you!

Becky - Japanese model/entertainer/designer

Celebrities these days seem so multi-hyphenate. They delve into practically all areas of the biz.

I solemnly swear this has got something to do with my exam preparation... partly XD I'm reading up on the theory of simulacra for Screen Theories & Techniques.

...Although it doesn't justify reading up on juicy gossip about Asian boybands ;)

...Like the TVXQ scandal. All the "you're lying"/"slave contract"/"3 against 2 - traitors!" talk is enough to make an exam seem trivial in comparison XD

Fans of Johnny's Entertainment's stable of boybands - albeit ones with a sense of humor - don't miss out on the wise-cracking http://uwasako.livejournal.com/

Some of these rumors are really hilarious, teehehehehehe

Along with http://www.regretsy.com, it's one of the most rib-tickling & side-splitting time-wasting blogs I've encountered this year.

Anyhow, gossip was the way I stumbled on Becky - through her alleged 'non-romance' with a certain member of Jpop gorup NEWS it's really more funny than it sounds XD

She's actually the designer of her own label of wedding gowns , BCK Message! Miss Talented or what?

No guarantees your wedding entourage won't burst into fits of giggles when they see you, but hey... I'm a cosplayer wat, nothing's too OTT =P

I can so imagine me in this origami dress, not.


Barbie, much?


Race Queen getting married? This is so, like, the 'it' dress ;)


My Fair Lady ^^


The lolita's wedding gown... can't miss out the bow =P


Kimono meets Jewel in the Palace meets Princess Barbie

So sorry for missing this weekend's Strawberry.Bytes section. Lol, my weekends are getting more hectic than weekdays XD

*ahem* procrastination *ahem*

Hehe, anyway... I've got a confession to make... I'm addicted to Looklet ;)

So, to compensate for WS.B:

Monday Blues

I'll be posting some of my "fashion shoots" from Looklet under the username dollhaus ^^

*apologies to the lads if this puts u to sleep* XD








Punk Ballet (last pic) is my fav ^^

Really adore the layered effect, and the mix of different textures and colours =)

[Mood : Warm ^^ ]


Japanese fashions are gorgeous. Haha... yeah, although Adele is a self confessed non-fashionista, I have to admit that I really love some (expensive... what in Japan isn't?) Japanese fashion labels. CECIL McBEE, L'EST ROSE, LAISSE PASSE, and pretty much what they feature on Ebihara Yuri and other models in CanCam and other fashion magazines.






From L'EST ROSE's collection. Yup, I love the 'ribbon look' ^^



Debut de Fiore by LAISSE PASSE. I'll love to have that as my prom dress =p



Pic's kind of blur, but it's a beautifully adorned watch from Foppish.









LAISSE PASSE. I adore trench coats, and the bag is so pretty + elegant ^^






From Cecil McBee. This brand's HUGE in Japan.

But... Japanese fashion being Japanese fashion, shoes only go up to US size 7 (lol, I wonder if I can find shoes if I'm ever desperately in need of one in Japan XD) and I think I'm borderline 8, unless Malaysian sizes are smaller than US sizes. And apparently many fashionable boutiques only carry one size (Japanese girls are seriously petite and small boned =p ) One of the times where having a larger sized bust is not necessarily enviable XD I don't think my bust will fit into half the clothing in Japan.

Which brings me back to last December. I was at this cute little boutique in Australia, admiring the vast array of very trendy styles and optimistically thinking... this is a Western country where they have bigger chest sizes and more generous body shapes, so a not-so-petite Asian gal like me should be able to find something. Wrong! Most of the sizes ended at M, which I swear should really be S. Granted, it was Christmas season and the shop was having a sale, so mostly hard-to-sell sizes were left. But sheesh! >_<
