Emerson Made

Posted by A.R |

This is such a cute conspicuous trademark.


These are hand stitched flowers from EmersonMade made by, well the Emersons! This is wild, I remember scouring the internet 7 months ago for a good ol' inspiration and stumbled over these 2 pictures:

 

In fact, i had the second photo as my desktop wallpaper for a good few months! I remember randomly saving the photo and later tried to track back where i got it, but failed. Until a few days ago, i stumbled onto the EmersonMade photos. Fell in love with the flowers, wished i had the creativity to come up with something original like that, and only after a few days i realized that, hey, i that flower does look familiar! Yeah, it's been staring at me for months on the computer.

I'll take note of the kraft paper table runner as well. It's so simple yet so nice. Nicefully done Emersons.

Gwyneth's Apartment

Posted by A.R |

Isn't this dreamy?
It's actually the daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow's bedroom in her 4,440 sqft penthouse in Tribeca NY where she lives with her rocker Chris Martin. Everything is so white and it looks so good but i know it will be very hard to mantain it!
 The living room is like a combination of modern and vintage, it even has its own swing!
And white kitchen?
I'll probably end up not cooking so that i won't mess up the kitchen.
Pictures found at Curbed. Fuzzy nap zones they call it. Have you got any fuzzy nap zones in your home?

Villa Fashion

Posted by A.R |

I'd love to go to work looking this fresh and i'm a satin-freak so i love the satin blazer too. In fact I love almost every look from the Villa Clothes Sept/Oct 2010 Fashion.
Now, if only we have winter so that i can wear that cardigan.

Or maybe I'm liking all of it because the model is hot.

Hey Bobbi!

Posted by A.R |

I'm so hooked on to Bobbi Brown at the moment! It all started when i wanted to get myself a concealer and ended up buying a corrector and a creamy concealer kit. I swear by the corrector, i really do. The sales assistant then threw in 2 sample packs of the EXTRA eye cream repair. Which is real heavy duty stuff which i wear it only before going to sleep because it's so oily, in hopes that it does its repair while i sleep.

Then, i got a cute mail in the post from them saying that i've got 3 complimentary skincare and liquid foundation samples, which i chose the Vitamin E Enriched Foundation Base, Hydrating Eye Cream and Luminous Mosturizing Foundation. And oh my, I've never really worn foundation due to my early years when i was performing in the orchestra and the teachers forced us to slap on some stuff they call foundation which makes us look like ghosts in pictures. Since then i stayed away from foundation. But this Luminous Mosturizing Foundation truly changed it, man. I love the smell and how it blends in into the skin. I dont think i can live without you anymore.


I thought it was the end of it. Then suddenly i received another mail from them for another complimentary makeover. I love people doing me up! I'd say, excellent marketing strategy, Bobbi. You got me hooked. And the whole Bobbi Brown underlying principle, I love it.

"Bobbi believes that "makeup is a way for a woman to look and feel like herself, only prettier and more confident." Through Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Bobbi enables every woman to enhance her unique beauty. With straightforward, easy-to-use cosmetics in timeless hues, all formulated to create a smooth, natural, and healthy appearance."

For me, it's all about enhancing your natural beauty.

What The..

Posted by A.R |

A prank one of my friends did on my other friend. That little person was part of the office Raya decoration which he 'borrowed' it from.

I feel bad for this guy though. Hopefully you'll get a car soon.

I think an alien stole this middle part of the building.

Do we really need to have this on our streets??

Happy Herbs

Posted by A.R |

From Happycow

I'm very much influenced by the shows on AFC where they freshly chop the herbs from the pots sitting nicely in their window sil. My favourite herb is oregano, i put it in almost everything! But I've yet to try using the fresh ones. For those staying in an apartment, the windows aren't conviently located above the kitchen sink, sadly. However, Aino Kitchen's Santuario gives just the flexibility to do that. Pretty neat.

Else, if you have a big balcony, you can always plant your herbs there. Just like what Susann Larsson did, as read from Apartment Therapy, it doesnt look that hard to create a terraced herb garden.

I can't wait to get my own herb garden! I'm so going to plant curry leaves! Wait, is that herb or spice?
