the girls who drove me mad in 2008

after the exams i was a lazy bum and my day weren't complete without reading these blogs
( if u havent heard of these blogs where have u been?)
dressing up in 2008 was made so fun cos of these laydees.

quirky meister
suzybubble.net


she's like a walking scrapbook, lotsa fabrics and clash of colours n she makes me

my all time inspiration :
Rumi
of Fashion Toast
( the above two have earned quicklinks on my firefox tab)
im pretty sure balmain, alexander wang n the like created these looks on the runway but without these girls and their huge following from all over the world,
i don't think F21,UO or Topshop or urban outfitters would have even bothered to re-create those looks at all

she's THE trendsetter of the year with her eclectic mix of edgy+boho care-free get-ups.
all about :cut out shorts, ripped stockings, the rugged and the fierce.
laying Zip zip zip zips and studs on everywhere and lotsa layering ala tassles, lace, sequins,feathers,pleather and even the fringe dress + member's jacket have made a come back.

plus her boyfriend who's such a dear to capture ALL outfits for her
while i fumble and pose with the 10sec timing mode on my digi cam ahhaaha



thrift stores, F21, Topshop and American Apparel are all shops not to be missed.

the element of cheap and chic is so alluring.
it's everyone's version of the runway that matters right now : )



she also made Balenciaga still hot on my wanted list








i've proved my point i hope
so now 2009's loooming, i wonder what else is there to expect
i've officially OD-ed from hyperventillating when it comes to the different combinations and fabrics used on dresses and skirts and jackets
is there possibly anymore left?
hehe

dan says i love fashion more than trading
i don't care
fashion is fun, everyone loves it
trading is a lil boring for some.

there r a few values i've picked up:
1) accepting reality, n moving on
2)eat lotsa humble pie and not let ego get into the way
3) having a good game plan at the start of the day n having the discipline to keep with it.
4) knowing ur stop loss before entering a trade
5) cut ur losses when u have to n not let losses run.
seems easy but it's a daily struggle to stick to it.

n my morning rambles are done for now: )
i have xmas shopping to do but this year, i can't afford to be extravagant.
i hate bills , but to welcome the new year, i ought to clear them n be debt-freee!
thats the xmas gift to myself.
to be"DEBT-FREE"
here's to financial health and getting confirmed in 2 months.
