Stylebook
Ok I tried using Polyvore but I have come to realise that it is almost impossible to add your own clothes...(unless you can find it online, which does work with old or vintage stuff) but I have investigated and discovered a app/website called Stylebook - remember the movie Clueless and Cher's awesome digitalised closet...it can now be achieved!

Polyvore App!
Ok I just found out that Polyvore has a rather reliable app that I can use - since I don't have a PC I stopped using Polyvore cause I couldn't do it from their website on my phone - but now I can create obsessive creations, and I should try and use my own clothes by taking photos using white backdrop and I should invest in a torso to get the shape - I'm excited to start Polyvore-ing again!

Flawless Asian Face
I have been reading a lot of manga these last couple of months and have become increasing interested in the Asian concept of beauty (white flawless skin, small lips, big eyes...) - I'm Euroasian (Asian descendent Mother and White Father in my case) so I am trying to emphasise all the 'good' aspects of my gene pool >_< - my eyes are almond shaped with double lid eyes (so I have learned) but I have olive green eyes so I don't look particularly Asian...especially compared with my Asian descendent Husband and daughter!
So comes the adventure...or my obsession!
(By the way that's a no makeup photo of me as I write this entry and a made up me from a night out)

Well long time no post...
Since my last post I got rid of my annoying old phone and upgraded to something more useful (since I use my phone to blog) - without advertising what phone I have I have become quite obsessed with it...I feel it's time to redirect the focus of by blog to one with no focus at all, bit like me! I have many passions and obsessions which change more often then my underwear (haha here's presuming I change them often ^_^) - so I feel this should be a place where I talk about my many interests and they normally come and go so I guess they turn into little obsessions (such as my preference for all things Asian...) which I feel need to be shared so all may feel my excitement lol!

Happy New Year! 2013
Oh it is the start of a new year and what better way to revamp your life then with a home DIY makeover!
Ever room in my house is getting the treatment with each room getting it's own theme or feel. I'll do each room as I find things I am interested in and that fit the criteria, most rooms already have a theme I have in mind so I have been busy pinning things to my Pinterest on my 'Inspiration Boards'.
First up...'The Master Bedroom'
Our master is the most 'oversized' room out of the whole house meaning we have more room then furniture to fill it :p so it can take a dramatic and bold colour theme without feeling cluttered or claustrophobic. I've chosen one of my favourite architecture/design styles, Art Deco. With it's sharp geometric lines and bold, rich luxuries fabrics, colours and textures I think its the perfect style to complement a couples bedroom and add a bit of seduction and mystery...
{Now remember unless I specifically buy something as a collectors piece everything will be done on the cheap and will just give the style and/or theme I want to put across.}
I've chosen black and gold as my base colours {all the links can be found on my Pinterest page}:

DIY Time! New Years Eve Chain Heels
Add a bit of dominatrix to your persona this New Years Eve with a bit of shoe bondage!
Step 1: Mark a spot on the shoe where you want the chains to start on both sides
Step 2: Cut two (2) lengths of the craft chain and diamante chain in varying/ascending sizes (eg 10, 11, 12 and 14cm) so they hang as desired.
Step 3: Apply the super glue to the mark where the chains will meet and apply the chains one at a time, one side to the other.
Step 4: Put another dab of super glue on the top of where the chains meet on both sides and apply a stud.
Presto!
Now you are ready to be fierce on the dance floor!

Kris Kringle (Secret Santa) Christmas Dinner
Every year for a few years now my girlfriends and I do a Secret Santa as it was becoming too difficult and expensive to buy something for everyone and also buy presents for our family. We have a night were we get together and have dinner and fun and exchange gifts - this year it was at my house so I organised the dinner side of things on a BUDGET! {Christmas can be cruel sometimes}
I wanted something easy and no fuss so I opted for:
~ Smoked Ham
~ Roast Chicken
~ Turkey Roll (frozen)
~ Roast Potatoes & Carrots
~ Sweet Potato Green Salad
~ Bread Roll
~ Gravy
It might not be for everyone but during this busy time of year it nice to just buy and serve without all the fuss of hanging around the kitchen for hours on end :D

Modern Space Saving Christmas Tree
Where I live we don't have the option of having a 'real' Christmas tree being in the topics, so everyone has artificial trees - but I thought 'what if you have no space for a giant Christmas tree or perhaps you want something a little different or modern to fit your decor?'
Well I've gathered up a few options - I'm rather partial to the wall decals as I have some Christmas hanging ornament ones I used last year and they are very effective.

Winter Wonderland
We only have two seasons where I live up in the top of Australia – Wet and Dry – then there is the ‘Build Up’ (which is the lovely (!) time of year between the pleasant cool, crisp air of the Dry and the cleansing and exciting storms of the Wet) which is the time of year that you have to swim your way through the humidity in air…
This year happens to be, so far, one of our driest Wet Seasons - so the lack of storm relief and the humidity are way up there…
Now everyone links Christmas with the snow and colder climates, so I want to use that to my advantage and create a Winter Wonderland so it ‘looks’ cooler then it feels!
Last year my theme was red and silver for a traditional feel – this year I wanted to use white and silver for a clean crisp winter-y feel. I shall put my tree up next week so we shall see how it goes…

DIY Time! Festive Party Canvas Shoes
I LOVE a sexy pair of high heels like any other girl, but when it comes to 5 hours non stop dancing in a club I opt for a comfy pair of ballet flats to get me through the night. Now apart from Ballet flats as a staple for comfy footwear, canvas shoes are equally favoured, but they are generally saved for casual outfits. I love their cool persona they give off and wanting to adopt them as something I could wear on a night out. I am no stranger to wearing Converse type shoes with dresses but it can be hard to find ones that have a little attitude or bling unless you want to fork out a small fortune on a name brand for them the get totally ruined in a club...
Bring thorth my DIY Festive Party Canvas Shoes! Complete with glitter and 'studs' they are sure to get noticed among the abundance of high heeled beauties (and be infinitely kinder on the foot...) :D
Step 1: Find a pair of cheap canvas shoes
Step 2: Mark the front with a line where you want the studs to start

Step 2: Mark the front with a line where you want the studs to start
Step 3: Brush the fabric glue on one section (excluding the front section for the studs) of the shoe at a time
Step 4: Sprinkle the silver glitter on SPARINGLY until the shoe is complete
Step 5: Brush the fabric glue on the front section of the shoe and attach the studs
PRESTO!
I left my laces white but you could also use coloured ribbon or even tartan for Christmas (which I might do and post the pics).
