“For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.” -Vincent van Gogh


It’s the last days of October, don’t you notice that 2009 flew by so fast? It’s almost a year since I started this series on my blog and I am always thankful for the wonderful comments that readers leave :) And with that, I have greater confidence, I even went out on a limb by submitting something over at Le Love Image, please check it out and leave a comment there too :)

♥ Dressing Up: This Friday we’ll be having a Halloween party! I haven’t been to one in a loooong time probably because in previous years I had been to caught up with school to really enjoy myself (Yes, I was one of those students :) ). Anyway, I think I’ll go the DIY route because I’m painfully broke for the time being. Here are some ideas that I might run with:

alice in wonderland

faeries

witches & a spinoff from edward scissorhands

(love,love tim burton x tim walker)


or go as Edie Sedgwick! :)

♥ Tiaras: Since we’re on the topic of dressing up, I really think that at least once in a girl’s life they should wear tiaras! :)

♥ Still channeling my inner “girl”, honestly though people rarely see this side of me because I’m more of a jeans and shirt person than someone who glams up, it was only a few months ago that my friends realised that I had legs, when I wore a dress for the first time since…forever? Let’s talk about tulle:

♥ Or I could go as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde! I loved the musical so much:

♥ 33 Ways to Keep Yourself Motivated : I so need this right now and I’m so excited for the next few weeks! :)

♥ Kraso Calligraphy Set: I love how the colors just pop and I’ve never really tried to play with calligraphy tools and inks before.

♥ And you guys should check out Michael Bublé’s Crazy Love album, love the songs especially Haven’t Met You Yet :)


♥ Laisse Passe Dresses: Floral and flowing, I love these cute dresses, too bad though,  my body wasn’t built for flowing dresses :( .

♥ After Lovely Complex, I decided to watch Ristorante Paradiso because I saw it being advertised in Soup magazine. It’s about Nicoletta who goes to Rome to find her mother who had abandoned her when she was just five years old. Her mother’s new husband couldn’t accept any woman with a child so Nicoletta was left alone to the care of her grandparents. Now twenty-one years old she’s prepared to confront her mother’s husband about her existence. She finds herself in a lovely restaurant where the staff are all elderly gentlemen who wear spectacles. I am drawn by the lovely animation and coloring, plus the fact that it’s set in Rome and there’s food involved! :) OK, my otaku side is showing, I’m gonna stop now  :)
