Styling for thesis submission?!

I bought this pair of shoes to match my dress.
Of course, to celebrate too! ^^

I am happy to announce that I've finally submitted my dissertation yesterday (17th Dec 2012)! I've had about 3 extension dates, and I guess third time is indeed lucky as I've made it finally. It may be silly but I chose my dress carefully on my submission date. I wanted to wear one of my favourite dresses. It is one way I cope and celebrate little events in my life. I wonder if anyone else does this too? If yes, I'd love to hear about your thesis submission styling. ^^

Cardigans with hearts

Cardigans with hearts on them should be a wardrobe staple. At least in my wardrobe. :) This cardi is from Alannah Hill. I love that it can be worn during the cooler as well as warmer months because of the colours.

I also love my scarf which I knitted using the Zpagetti yarn. I picked this yarn up during the craft show that I went to a couple of months back. I finished knitting this scarf within a few hours. Of course putting it up on my blog took months.... *guilty look*

What are you loving?

It's a hat...

... but it makes me happy. 

Do you have a piece of item in your wardrobe that makes you happy? :)

Before and After Project - A touch of vintage knobs

This is my first foray into the area of DIY before and after projects but I thought I'd start small. I've been watching a lot of renovation shows (very addicted to Divine Design by Candice Olson), and the one take-away I've got is that you can give drawers/cupboards a new look just by changing their knobs. What luck, when I was walking around at Provincial Living, I found the most amazing range of vintage style knobs!

I choose the simple glass knobs because I wanted something that would stand out against the black of the Ikea drawers beside my bed. My husband helped with this one as we had to cut away the excess screw length of each knob. Then he also helped to remove the old knobs, drilling and installing the new knobs. Ok, mostly I supervised, but hey, I came up with the idea! And I took pictures. So it counts! ^^

Anyway, I'm very happy with how this turned out! I think this is an easy way to get into doing restoration DIY. My next DIY before and after project is restoring my vintage mannequin. When I finish that project, I'll put up pictures too, so stay tuned! :)

Splash of colour - Green Obsession

Yes, I still have that green obsession. I'm adding splashes of colours in my winter wardrobe by wearing my summer clothes and layering them.

How do you add a splash of colour to the winter season?

Winter Styling

winter blues by nyaan featuring suede peep toe pumps

Who said that winter styling should be boring? Colours can add a touch of joy (yes, joy) to an otherwise depressing season. Don't get me wrong, I do love winter because it is time for lovely coats and wonderful boots. With less daylight, it is easy though to get depressed... so I love wearing colours in winter. And dresses too. With layering, your summer look can turn into a winter look.

And another reason to love winter? Knitting!!! ^^

Love,
