something old, something new

note to self: do not announce a giveaway that happens at 8am in the morning... that just means that i have to wake up before that to write the post... perhaps 8am on a friday is fine. just not a monday morning... so here i am yawning endlessly whilst typing.

first up, big thank you to everyone who read my blog... i am humbled by the figures... we crossed even the 300 barrier so thank you once again to my readers from singapore, the united states and the latest addition, malaysia!

anyway, let's deal with the business at hand... MY VERY FIRST GIVEAWAY! 

so this post is titled, 'something old, something new'. here's something old...

it's a book entitled, 'Chanel: Collections and Creations'... interesting pictorial look into the house of Chanel. i've had it for a few years now and it's just been sitting there after i read it hence the decision to part with it. this is a combination of two of my interests... books and fashion... more information about this book can be found here... http://www.amazon.com/Chanel-Collections-Creations-Danièle-Bott/dp/0500513600

now for something new...

it's a wallet from Levi's... i got it as a gift from the store but it was just days after i bought my current wallet so this was left in my drawer for a couple of months now... if you are looking for a basic black wallet, this is it.

the important bits about the giveaway... drop me a note at greenmonster77@hotmail.com... do use 'something old' or 'something new' as your title depending on which item you would like... for your content, tell me which post you liked and why... i will be giving the items to the first person to write in... we'll work out postage details via email...

final note... i realised that the items are in line with this week's theme of black and white / monochrome! haha...

doom, gloom, monday blues...

all right everyone, i feel you... the weekend is ending and no one wants to head back to school or work... but we all have to. the last thing that we want to do is to have to fuss about what to wear after a comfortable weekend of jeans and tee-shirts (well, in my case, it was singlets, shorts and flip flops...) 

unless, you are me and don't have to head to work tomorrow. you can wake up as late as you want and stay in your sleepwear the whole day... you will probably have to throw something decent on (in the case of the students, your uniform...) here's are a couple of worry-free looks that you can carry using black and white... nothing over the top... just sheer chic...

look number one: white blouse, black pants, a pair of black heels and you are good to go... jazz it up with a scarf, large handkerchief, a long piece of cloth, anything that rocks your boat... it's monday... you have the right to please yourself... 

look number two: large oversized white shirt (you can always raid the closet of your father, brother, husband, boyfriend if you don't have one), a fitted skirt, a pair of boots. if the shirt is slightly see-through, a white tube would be fine underneath it...

it's monday... please yourself... BAM!
