Super find at Valleygirl. On sale at $14.95!! :O
I was a bit skeptical at first when I took it to try... I suppose I just really wanted to know how I'd look in a bandage dress these days. Not really feeling up top about my size.. I'm not saying i'm fat! I'm just saying i've been gaining bulk.. PLUS this dress has horizontal stripes, so that tends to add bulk too.. Honestly, it is a very very tight fitting dress right now... like, if i gain any more fats at all, it'd explode! :P Glad it doesn't LOOK that bad though.. not to that extent at least.
I still bought it in the end cos it's a super good deal... and it's a good motivation for me to slim down (long and sloowww painful process to get me motivated to exercise T_T) Also, i thought it manages to sculpt my body to give me curves! Like, able to cinch my waist quite a bit.. and well.. enhance other areas. HAHA. Please provide honest feedback if you think i shouldn't wear that out. hahaa.
Yupyup. This was also the day where I later got the flaming garnet lips.. since i'm currently watching "burlesque" (the movie, like.. 3rd time!!), i'm re-excited about the look! hahaha. I took a few shots that day.. and here's two more. haha.
this photo makes my hair look so long!
the original photo before i instagram-ed it (vintage effect seen in last post)
For anyone interested, i used the "Lord Kelvin" effect. (: Instagram is my convenient way of posting photos on twitter. Also great cos i can add effects to it anytime i want.. and they can be super pretty and enhance the effect of the photos. However, Instagram is not actually my favourite photo app. There's a free app called "lomo lomo" as well... and i just love their lomo cams (they provide 2) and several lenses. so i love the "actionsampler" (where there r 4 pix in a 2x2 grid). Check out these random 2 films.
having om noms. haha. utterly casual n random.
this one's admittedly posed. hahaa. bits of my room n me being vain.
So as you can guess, yes yes... i've an iphone now! haha. it's really very easy to use actually. You'd think something so "high tech" would be idiot-unfriendly. But it is very 2nd-nature! I think it's actually more 2nd nature to d/l apps. play games...msg... EVERYTHING but CALLING. haha. i found the phonebook.. calling ppl... those are the most annoying features to use. which is ironic, cos a phone's basic function is well, for phone calls. haha. Having said that, it gets easier once you get used to the phone so it's not a major issue. So let's not distract.. having a good phone like this means i've a good camera on the ready anytime!! Iphone 4 cam quality below:
Back camera quality (5.0 megapixels)
Fashion note: Whee! Amanda dressed so nicely on a beautiful day.
Blazer and shorts go awesomely well, guys! And an inner top in a statement colour like that will NOT go wrong.. Nude wedges help elongate your legs ;)
Front camera quality.. it's poorer, but not obvious cos of effect and also images have been resized.
And yes, that effect is also found in instagram (:
What i wore that day.
I love my baggy batwing black top from Almost Famous. Had it for a while now, still trusty for casual yet dressy look! I wore dark colours to accentuate my red lips that night. Lipstick has faded in this photo tho.. And I LOVE my large faux pearl necklace from diva (: Paired with jeans.. and i'd say... heels! (i didn't cos i was afraid i couldn't handle it. settled for gladiators instead)
Sooo. coming to my main point of what made me wanna blog today.. I've been looking at reebonz.com for a few days now.. they have exclusive sales on branded goods for much cheaper. Balenciaga is on right now.. and if u notice, i have an Inspired balenciaga in the photo above. Haha. i like their weekender motorcycle design.. but inspired is all i can afford now :P In fact, i've been looking at miu miu (absolute fave!!).. prada, gucci (Also nice). I'm most excited about the vintage chanel and vintage LV events coming up next week.. the vintage stuff... soooo nice! i love the quilt stuff on chanel too. Quilt is nice! (thinking of the hearts quilt by Samantha Thavasa..) but the $$$s just makes me feel sad.. I don't think I can justify to myself for splurging like that! And i'd wanna take super good care of them.. so i'm not sure I could here.. :S
I want to get myself a present tho!! And I realise... although i've always been such a clothes freak, i wanna splurge on amazing shoes and a bag for myself :D ACCESSORIES! hee.. soooo... i don't know. i won't have time BEFORE my birthday.. but maybe i can give myself a month to feel less guilty for shopping big time hehe. SOOO. Personal goal for bag and shoes set! Expect photos sooonnn.. Also, if anyone wants to suggest shoes and bags online, please do!! I do not rule out online shopping, especially for bags. but a bit more iffy on shoes... hehe ok now i'm excited..
I was feeling down for quite a bit the past few weeks.. but I don't know.. took the courage to do something today. Hoping it'll change the course of things.. it'll make a big impact on my life for sure.. but i have thrown the ball out. Hope it got caught well.. Waiting, oh waiting. But somehow... i feel so much better already. Cos I did something I really wanted to do, for myself... and i believe i fought hard w myself.. and it hasn't been for a while. I'm also excited of things to be... hopefully I'm not alone in feeling this (: xxo
