About 2009 Resolution:
I find it hard to save up my money. But I must say I am doing better now. From the average of minimum 3 pair of shoes monthly, now I only need to buy a pair per month :D (still spending, but heck, I'm trying my best)
So my 2009 resolutions is to save up enough money for the 'emergency savings', and for the wedding!
thinking about those great photography which costs more than Rp.20.000.000 makes me shiver, but yet I still want it.
(like all the other girls say, a wedding may only last for a day. but the WEDDING PICTURES will still be there for our grandchildrens to see :D so I want to make sure that I look DAMN GOOD on my wedding pictures, something to remember me by when I'm old.)

so guys...

I was browsing flickr and I typed 'handmade necklace charms' because I feel like making myself some necklaces with the charms and trinkets that I have, and I saw this cha-cha style bracelets with TONS of cute trinkets instead!
:D
her name is Stella Zhou, she's originally from Hong Kong, and she's been making this cute jewelries for a long time already. I love the combinations of colors :D (she added a lot of pink .. hmm.. smart lady :D)

Anyway, I am SO INSPIRED by her, I just can't wait to get me some tools so I can start make some for myself. :D
Well maybe at the end i'll purchase her necklace from etsy .. but somehow when i clicked the link on the flickr captions, it didn't work :S sobs...
anyway, love her!!!

shop for the cute accessories only!

I have a undeniable love for custom-made accessories,

those one of a kind that is not mass produced..
whether its expensive of cheap. :D
I find it hard to find a good one at Jakarta (or maybe am I not looking hard enough? hmm.. one might wonder..)
but anyway..
I found this shop online based in Singapore..
and oh my they have the BEST trinkets! :D
and I'm going to buy a heck-a-lot stuffs from there through my cousin! hahaha..


( here are some of the stuffs they made, I am so deeply sorry for the blurry pictures, I copy pasted the pictures from the website :D, and plus, I still haven't figured out how to post bigger pictures at my blog :S)

(I used to hate skirts and dresses and stick to jeans, jeans and jeans :D, I'm a jean-a-holic)
and I love how great my accessories collections matches my new dresses! yay!!

Ring ring ring your bells because Christmas is near!! and it means : TIME TO BAKE COOKIES!!

so here are the cookies that requires no effort to shape, well all you need to do is just roll them and cut them *and beware, they're not sweet! they're saltehhhh*
