nice stuff from oaknyc





neck loop - love this .. its like a continuous scarf .. heh

LOVE this dress and the whole look (of course the scarf too) .. ‘ikat’ material is pretty big now – think i saw a few dresses in this material by a few designers

same dress
, diff material, diff scarf, diff look – am loving it more
love the extra long scarf
cool scarf – love the color – but i think it resembles a wee bit like a tea towel

something about smocked dress that i love love love – especially paired with a cute scarf .. also love the dull color

cute corduroy top by wikstenmade
weird .. im looking at my stats and i had so many hits for my post on scarves on the 19th of sept .. hopefully it has nothing to do with the islamabad bombing .. theres nothing to see there anyway (my post i mean) .. just me rambling on about scarves under the false pretention that i know something about fashion .. heh
so anyway .. still on fashion .. i am soooooo into etsy right its not even funny .. i have right now made a secret (it being secret cos i dont want anyone to know so that when i break it, it wont be a big deal .. heh .. cos no onw knows) vow to buy ONLY handmade items from now on .. ive never realised this but there are sooooo many creative people out there! .. heh DUH .. i know .. but seriously some of the things are so nice and different and one of a kind – and i just LOVE it .. wish i could get half of the shit in there .. but alas – since its handmade and all – it has to be expensive .. so ive limited – well on a mission actually to get something that is below $10 .. im gonna get earrings, rings, brooch and also necklace .. yes .. so wish me luck .. im gonna post some of the cool stuff that i couldnt afford .. heh ..
by the way there is actually a site where you can make a public vow to never ever buy anything that is not handmade .. that is a bit extreme but looking at the stuff in etsy and also some other sites – i think i could live with that .. cos most of the stuff in there are actually waht ive been looking for all along .. u know .. or something like that … u know how sometimes u see something that u HALF like and wish it had more gold or wish it didnt have any diamonds on it and shit like that .. yea so stuff in etsy – cant find anything wrong with the ones i like .. well except for the price maybe .. well most of the time its that .. anyway the point is – its different …
having said all that tho .. i am still wishing for my tiffany mesh and frank gehry ring .. heh ..
tiffany’s mesh ring that ive always wanted
frank gehry’s torque ring … how can i NOT have this ring?? .. look at it! .. its so super cool! .. well at $250 it MUST be ..
omigod and u know what else ive been pining for? .. the stainless steel and concrete ring from konzuk .. no thanks to dwell magazine and their not so people-on-a-budget friendly advertisements
check it ..
so i guess all that stuff bout not ever buying anything that is NOT handmade is really out of the question .. cos not only am i buying machine-made mass produced things – im buying EXTREMELY expensive mass produced things .. well i am GOING to anyway .. when i gots the moolah ..
anyway i still do like etsy’s funky stuff .. such as ..
this is just too cool to pass.. this is my kind of diamond ring .. from jujulee
love this .. looks like candy .. from princessoliviajewels
pointy ring .. a wee bit expensive .. but really nice .. from EmmyBean
i call this the birdy ring .. heh .. from ShereDesign
ok this actually looks so much like the tiffany mesh ring that i want .. cept its made of beads .. from dicopebisuteria
bubbles bubbles everywhere .. but unfortunately not on my hand .. poop .. from MikeandMary
this ring has a luvly, rustic look .. why does it have to be $120 tho .. made of titanium????!! .. noway! ..from catherinechandler
ripple ring .. i think i love ALL the rings by this designer .. but this is definitely my most favorite .. from esdesigns
cute wooden ring .. from saltandpaper
ive suddenly realised that putting etsy stuff in the same post as frank gehrys stuff was not really wise of me .. makes the um etsy stuff looks a lil bit amateur-ish .. but what the heck .. love them all anyway .. at least they dont cost $250 a pop .. so anyway – thats my ring wishlist .. next will be my earrings wishlist – which will be pretty damn long ..
stumbled upon this site yesterday .. princess lasertron .. and was looking at all her buittonaires craft and stuff when i saw her wedding picture .. which i LOVE so much .. heh .. dont worry – im not going to get all mushy and lovey dovey or whatever – its just that for the last few months i had to browse all kinds of wedding magazines that now im kinda liking it and missing it.. heh .. not to say that i want to get married soon – HELL no .. i just find it interesting and a nice change from all the typical bride and wedding mags that i read – THATS ALL .. anyway – before i get even more defensive, lets just list down the things that i like .. ill post the names of the bride and groom and links to their site or flickr or whatever .. anyway u should click on the links cos some of them really have an interesting and fun party .. BUT if ure the conventional wedding type bla bla bla then just shoo! nothing for you to see here ..
look how cute the card is ..
absolutely friggin LOVE the bouquet!
love the art gallery backdrop
this is my most fav pic .. the photography is ridiculously awesome .. i think the bride loves pink (judging from her wedding dress .. yes THATS her wedding dress .. so cute) so most photos has a tinge of pink in it .. like wood with pink grains – looks luvly .. photos are by becky novacek .. anyway the groom looks hot in a vest .. vests should be the new tux!
love the photography and the fact that hes wearing chucks .. NICE!
the cat is wearing a tux!
first – the venue
then theres the puppets
guests with their puppets
beautiful photography by gwyneth colleen
and last but not least .. the 29 year old male flower girl![]()
i think this is the most funnest wedding ive ever seen ..
all weddings are from offbeat bride .. for a different twist to your normal everyday wedding
when i went to the US in May i was soo happy that it was slightly cold (10 to 20 degrees c) and i get to wear SCARVES!! .. too bad i didnt bring any of mine but my aunt and my sis brought theirs so i just wore theirs .. which is cool cos ive been trying to find a reason to wear one since FOREVER .. yes cos i could never wear it over here and in fact if i see anyone wearing a scarf under the blistering hot sun – im just gonna slap them ..
so anyway .. i love em .. and wish i could wear them more







heh .. cute way to wear a scarf .. grandma/dorkus maximus


and lastly the controversial palestinian scarf .. which im also kinda lovin it right now and am thinking of getting one .. saw one guy wearing it at ‘the police’ concert and back then i was like ‘what?? he crazy!’ .. but now its more like ‘hmm .. that could actually work’ .. and it looks cool too .. dunno why it should be controversial tho – if it symbolises solidarity then by all means – shouldnt we all wear it? .. anyway -as i understand its also popular amongst the emo and hiphop crowd .. in 2007 or something .. and apparently its selling like hotcakes in urbanoutfitters – and im kinda hating that fact right now cos im not really the urban-outfitter type .. but whatever – i love it anyway
or is it La bags .. ok whatever .. anyway this post is for my sis whos going shopping tomorrow … heh … so i hope she has an idea of what type of bag that i want … my most favoretest bag of all the choices here is the one with the dog .. so IDEALLY my sis can get me that .. but alas … it costs a lot … i wouldnt even buy it if its selling here … cos itll prolly be 6oo bux .. well maybe when one of those days that im depressed id prolly get it … heh anyway … i wouldnt mind anything – as long as its big .. and uhm interesting
heh .. over and out
in ROME … wooohaaaa!
im taking 10 mins off from all the stress
evrything and everyone seem hell bent on making this project go wrong .. just went you think things would start going your way / you start seeing the light at the end of this dark tunnel .. someone will start to fuck things up .. its a guarantee
ill take a break for a min .. and shop for bags
