Btw ladies, Dec and Jan launch will be pretty late as I'm super busy, busy, busy!!

Please be patient with me ♥

If you take away dressing up, if you take away motivation to look good, you take away Lady Georgette.

Though outward appearance is not everything in life, or the most important thing, it speaks volumes of your zest for life.

Love yourself. Someone once said personal grooming is an expression of a person with self love and respect. Agreed.

When you treat your outward with utmost respect, you know how to love yourself.
When you eat well, you know how to love yourself.
When you love yourself, you know how to love others properly.

Secret Garden

Took me a while to finally settle on a Korean drama I want to catch. Recent months have been tranquil. I pick a drama based on 2 factors: cast and plot. There are only certain actors/actresses I follow and I tend to go after familiar faces, unless it's a very exciting plot or compelling acting (aka super handsome/chio actors/actresses can compensate for the lack of acting skill).

This is one actress whom I will surely follow whenever she stars in a drama, and it all started from Hotelier, to Full House, to The World That They Live In.

♥ Song Hye-Kyo ♥

It was her sweet smile and grow-on-you acting that won me.

She took a spunky short-haired role in The World That They Live In - a very mature themed drama which convinced me I could carry on watching her cos' she displayed versatility and is competent of less cutsy characters.

♥ Yoon Eun Hye ♥

Though Goong was dubbed a teeny idol flick, I was drawn by this teary, wide-eyed princess in Goong, and convinced myself she's got potential. She has proven many wrong and right with her blazing trail.

Starring in Goong

My recent favourite fashionista role of hers in My Fair Lady

Look forward to seeing more of her...

But I really want to talk about this - Secret Garden - starring a few of my favorite cast! Oh yeah!

I'm only into the 5th episode and there are already mesmerizing scenes that make you feel warm and fuzzy...but I hear there's a twist to the plot, so keeping my fingers crossed before I pass judgement.

Lara Croft-alike stylo stuntswoman female lead - I love!

I like him since The World That We Live In

Like him since My Fair Lady. I think he can act.

So stay tuned and watch with me ♥♥♥
Be starstruck for a while.

Indulge.

Flown in from Czech, this is actually very, very delicious.

Passable food from a Jap restaurant in JP. I'm not sorry that I don't remember restaurant names if the food didn't wow me.

My baked salmon only had 3 thin slices of salmon

Food standards didn't matter when the star of the show is:

In the end, 12 person couldn't finish this giant of a ice-cream.

They could have an eating competition for this - many would come from far and wide.

Verdict:

I like the giant ice-cream :P

Part 2

Assam Fish Head Anyone?

Christmas playlist is up cos' I'm up in the mood for some festive cheer...spread the love and beer (can be pressies, brownies, but beer rhymes most!)

Nice and cheap Assam Fish Head curry with peeps who enjoy good food just as much! Haha.

Shopping 0 - Snacking 1

I'm out of the season of blogshopping and into the season of comfort snacking. This is spelt D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S.

December December!

December, as always, is an exciting month, cos' there are so many things happening all at the same time.

I wonder how do I find time to blog with this list of "to-do"s:

- Photoshoot on Sunday evening (rushing because dear Jess is going away for December :()
- Community work next Sunday
- Appreciation Dinner with fellow workers following Sunday
- Candlelight service and JB retreat! following Sunday
- Christmas weekend!

On top of these, I am planning:

- 2 launches in December (oh yay but how do I manage?)
- dozens of Christmas pressies to get (how do I get to town when weekends are fully lined up ahead?)

I need superman capability = supernatural ability = supernatural grace!

Collection 14: Bascially Pretty

I have been burying myself all Sunday in the final editing of our next collection and am happy to announce that Collection 14: Basically Pretty is launched :)

Happy shopping ladies! Click anywhere on the picture to shop!

Christmas Wishlist Out Early!

I've drafted up a Christmas wishlist, cos' I splurged TOO MUCH on blogshopping and need them no more, for now. Even if you find me thick-skinned, with all the Christmas exchanges coming up, it's all in good timing. Plus, I am so super practical I think it's no point trying to guess what someone likes. Teehee.

And guess what, it's all......makeup-related!

~ Sunscreen cum moisturizer (untinted kind) - horrifying to find out that my moisturizer does not come with SPF protection!
~ Illuminating makeup base - something you apply before foundation. I love those that has pearlish ingredients to add to the face a natural glow
~  Concealer - trust me, all my life I have never needed one. I never have dark eye rings, oh blessed complexion! But I should have one to cover zit marks.
~ Black eyeliner pencil - a variation to my liquid liner
~ Soft angled brush - for tricky lower eyelids application
~ Nude lip gloss - the best lip accessory for most makeup colours

The best Christmas gifts I received last year were hand creams from 3 different ladies. The creams served me so well as I have these perpetually dry hands, and I'm only currently into the 3rd tube! And I loved the brands they chose, Kiehl's and Crabtree & Evelyn. Now what did I say about practical gifts? It saved me a whole year of buying hand moisturizers! You gals are thoughtful and I love you for it ♥♥

Sweet Hints

I just picked up the phone to this message:

Dar: "You are wanted tomorrow at 2.30pm."

Me: "Oh why? What's up?"

Dar: "I've booked Harry Potter special preview"

Ain't he sweet? I am looking forward to the holiday already. =D

Prelude to Monday

I had a good whole of 4 days' rest - loaded up on sleep and quality time with Dar, friends and family.

Stacy just arrived! Finally, since I placed an order for it in early September. Think I wrote countless emails to bother the gals at AE. I'm still your loyal fan, please put up with me!

And the cooling rainy weather outside is bliss...

Gonna work on the editng for Collection 14 - but I'll start tomorrow. There's this beautiful bag that I wanna share with you! I can't wait! ♥♥
It has gotten stares and comments when I breezed past the ladies.
"Her bag is cute!"
"Nice colour!"
So I try and hold off my excitement a little.

Back to Ikea and Utilitarian

Finally tried the raved about chicken wings at Ikea - not bad! Slurp!
