Birthday Desires

Birthday is just a couple of days away. I don't really feel anything special in the happy way, instead I do feel that bit older. This will be my first birthday as a Mrs. Damn, I don't like that address. (I will load more pics of my registration when I get the pics! My chinese traditional though will be next year, so another round of photos in 2010.)

Don't think there would be any celebrations, boy is super busy and wonder if my friends are free too. I was still hoping to find a birthday dress to go out for celebrations, guess that might not happen.



One happy thought though is that I can use my Birthday as an excuse to buy more stuff legitimately! So here are the things I wish for! Looking at my list, I really am greedy.



Physical Items


1) A beautiful vintage brown satchel .

Something like this I saw in Modcloth. By the way, I don't get it why everytime I get into Modcloth, everything under the vintage section is sold. I must be too slow.

2) A vintage velvet dress.


I see so many bloggers having such beautiful vintage velvet dresses so I decided that I too must have one! Bloggers like Liebemarlene Vintage (with the dress below), Blooming Leopold and The Clothes Horse. They all have such great eye for fashion and always seems to find the best dresses! Envy!3) A vintage cream lace dress

I have posted this before, but I must do it again as I dream of a cream lace dress like that of The Snail and the Cyclops everyday.




4) Other Vintage Items
I have been doing my window online shopping and saw many beautiful items. Cute tops, cheerful skirts, beautiful 50s dresses... the list goes on...

Non- Physical wishes

1) I wish for good health. Best is that my knee will recover soon so that I can get back to proper exercise routines.

2) I wish for happiness. Weekly time spent with boy is short (cause of our busy schedule) but always happy.

3) I wish for a better eye for fashion and luck for my thrifting and shopping trips! (Thrifting trips will be my new hobby!)

4) Better writing skills and photography skills (for the blog).

I end off with wishes for all (those I know personally and those sweeties out there whom I don't) whose birthday falls close to mine!
Especially
- My Brother (same day 3 years apart...unplanned by mom)
- My Boy ( soon in Oct)
- My Grandma ( a few days after mine)
- Lauren of Blooming Leopold (who celebrated hers recently with an amazing dress and great time with famiy

Feeling blue and tight

I have no idea what got into me, perhaps I had been reading too much of Rebecca, The Clothes Horse posts and What I wore. Taking pictures of myself and posing for pictures is quite new to me. I must say, Rebecca have the cutest poses. So, I decided to try something new today , instead of my usual fitting room setting.

It issn't very clear but I'm wearing a Giordano Tank with sequined collar, a sleveless blue dress from WoodWood and a belt with gold leopard from Ms Selfridge.

Think this is my first jump in 4 months since my knee operation...haha... so fun!

I am never a tights or leggings person due to the hot weather here. But I realised that the influence I get online is so great that now I WANT to get not a pair but a few pairs of leggings to go with my outfit. I never realised that leggins and tights give a outfit such a refreshing look! Here are a few looks that I heart, from a couple of my favourite bloggers! I want their leggings!!

Jessica from What I wore. Totally love her 2 color tights and her cream lace tights!

Rebecca, The Clothes Horse is always in all these amazing tights! Colored, laced, patterned!

Shoes of Desire

Think every women will never be satisfied with the number of shoes and bags they have.

Recently with my obsession with online shopping, I found these super cute oxfords online! But to my horror, urban outfitters and anthropologie do not have outlets here and neither do they ship to this region! So now I can only source for other similar shoes while admiring them over the net. Wish me luck for my shoe hunts!

This pair is sooooo cute! Pink with cut outs! But don't think I'd ever wear them, considering my recent knee operation, heels of this height will always be worn in my dreams.

This pair is so beautiful! I can imagine myself pairing them with many of my new dresses!!!

This black one will be a great match to my new coach willis and the heels are of a good height for my delicate knees.
