A new toy to play with plus the cold winter months leads to a new obsession. </div><div><br /></div><div>This is going to sound so bimbo but I love blow drying my hair as it leaves my hair bouncy and tame compared to my hair that would otherwise look dry and unruly. </div><div><br /></div><div>I am well aware of the damage that heat can do to your hair but I've never really bothered because I do not put my hair through that kind of stress often but now, it was time to get a heat protector! I've heard friends and read some reviews of people complaining that heat protectors leave a layer of weirdness on hair so I was trying to be careful and vary when purchasing my first heat protector. I've have a bad history of compulsively buying new/wrong products. One morning, I went to Priceline store and stared at the isle where hair care products are slowly browsing that the various brands and type of hair products. Had a hard time making up my mind and decided on Organix's Vanilla Silk Blow Dry Cream. Purchased it for ~$14 on offer. </div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE7dVUQ_2jOn8Isx609r7I7WbRWoxERzKFXPF5fEVFbi5V5A5adVCVURIKhuM2tczt9S6i0DHu01Fj_EZrv1KcAHFftvY0OlPutj2pMJI7kyD6X2_E_h6nlFW5UePYsIT_UYN_UFcrkUCT/s400/P110910_20.00.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515629225678267810" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></div><div>Good news is that this doesn't leave any weird feeling on my hair and it smells absolutely divine (I'm a huge vanilla scent fan)! It's organic and it's vanilla- should be hard to go wrong with. My hair feels softer and more bouncy but I don't know if that's the work of the blow dryer or this product. Conclusion: I absolutely love this product for it's divine scent!!! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>On another note:</div><div><b>Disguising a bad hair day</b></div><div>My options usually are:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Tie my hair up in a cute french braid.</div><div>Works all the time and gets lots of compliments! </div><div><br /></div><div>2. Tie it up in a bun.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>2.1.

A top knot</div><div><br /></div><div>3. Wear a hair band- I rarely do this because bad hair days and fat days seem to co-exist and hair bands are just too 'cute' to go with it if you know what I mean. </div><div><br /></div><div>And of course, dry shampoo to the rescue to hide and signs of greasy hair. :)</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The top knot</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://trendology.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/top-knots-who-what-wear.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 628px; height: 576px;" src="http://trendology.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/top-knots-who-what-wear.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">source: <a href="http://whowhatweardaily.com/">Who What Wear Daily</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">p.s.

No more bare legs and sleeveless tops; instead it's jackets and leggings all the way! I'm still quite excited at the prospect of winter.

We had a good time laughing over how she did not really look piratey at all. She tried adding the fingerless lace gloves to give the outfit more of an edge. However, since she bought the outfit on e-bay, about 7 other girls turned up in the same outfit as her!! 0_o But judging from the pictures, I still think she looked the best in it. :D<br /><br /><br />That's all for now!<br /><br /></div>Swan.Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14148271174296169409noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907174809514235285.post-53360122618954551102010-05-31T22:53:00.000-07:002010-05-31T23:04:13.532-07:00LookbooksHi folks! :)<br /><br />You can now follow our daily outfits on Lookbook!<br /><br /><!--BEGIN HYPE WIDGET--><script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="http://lookbook.nu/look/widget/716307.js?include=all&size=medium&style=button&align=center"></script><div id="hype_container_716307"></div><!--END HYPE WIDGET--><br /><br />Here's the link to my Lookbook.

I'm sure you've noticed by now that we have a very awesome guest blogger named Jowee, who helps us out when we're all crazy busy with assignments and work. You guys can check her <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://thisisteejowee.blogspot.com">personal blog</a> out coz other than fashion, she writes about a lot of other things as well! Hope you've been enjoying her posts.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/swantan/IMG_3594.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 666px;" src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/swantan/IMG_3594.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Anyway, I'm here to share with you guys my latest obsessions - shoes! I recently bought the red Nike high tops in the picture above for $AUD70. It was pretty cheap since it was on sale and I absolutely loved the colour and the bronze sparkly sides. Harbour Town shopping really rocks! It is actually half a size to small so it's a tad tight at times but still comfy. I've been wearing it a lot lately.<br /><br /><br />That's what I typically wear to uni nowadays. A jumper/hoodie/jacket with shorts. Occasionally I'll throw in some tights or wear jeans. Weather has been getting colder coz it's autumn now! On normal days, it's like being under contant air-conditioning but when the wind blows, it feel like it cuts through exposed skin.<span style="font-style: italic;"> *shudders*</span> At least Queensland is still the Sunshine State so we still have good amounts of Vitamin D to warm us up in spite of the chilly wind. :)<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">On me:<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jumper: Cotton On Body<br />Shorts: Esprit<br />High tops: Nike<br />Bag: LeSportSac<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I really like my sister's chic grey and black combo too!

I can never pull it off. =/<br /></div></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/swantan/IMG_3601.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 666px;" src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/swantan/IMG_3601.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>What I wore for dinner that day at a Turkish restaurant. And these boots are my second obsession at the moment. I've been wearing them everywhere coz they're really comfy! Got them on sale as well from Pay Less Shoes for around $AUD50? It was a present from my dad.

And we manage to get some absolute steals! Eg: In Cotton On we bought like 10 items for AUD$50. I finally feel that my wardrobe has some substance again.<br /><br /><br />On the other hand, the weather has been getting much cooler lately. It's probably due to changing of seasons from summer to autumn. Bring on the autumn gear! :D<br /><br /><br />So I managed to take Daily Outfit pictures after about 2 months?

On hot hot days, all you can bear to wear are shorts and a tank top!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaCAg1GV7UmGzwybyDg0vC2PzYWFE5T03aeowSkMBvqm9v4qYfO8hAyuIshKUroU3PQNTnJ5Uy13yWShv0oDX0af8jHbTBfRkDJFq91R6ANs6TpFKxn-ILNRVJacQI8sozPNk-EhyK_UWz/s1600-h/Recently+Updated2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 449px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaCAg1GV7UmGzwybyDg0vC2PzYWFE5T03aeowSkMBvqm9v4qYfO8hAyuIshKUroU3PQNTnJ5Uy13yWShv0oDX0af8jHbTBfRkDJFq91R6ANs6TpFKxn-ILNRVJacQI8sozPNk-EhyK_UWz/s400/Recently+Updated2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446520765094023218" border="0" /></a><br />This has got to be my sure win combo.

So sorry I never got to doing it. It's just the last few months have been absolutely crazy, I barely had time to update my own blog let alone Five Fashion Friends.<br /><br /><br />Furthermore, I only have limited clothes here in Aussie since I couldn't bring much without it costing a bomb so I have totally no motivation to take Daily Outfit shots. Mainly coz I feel that you've already seen it all before since I brought my fail-safe staples. I know you're supposed to mix and match and create exciting new combinations everyday... but without my arsenal or accesories I had back home and the large variety of clothes I feel slightly lost. It'll probably take me awhile before I post up any Daily Outfit shots.<br /><br /><br />Instead, I'll scout around for cool outfits other people are wearing and post them here (when I have the time) so people who are in need for fashion inspiration will feel, well, inspired! Watch this space for those.<br /><br /><br />In the meantime, one of the last few Daily Outfit shots we took in KL on our excursion to Petrosains in KLCC.<br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/swantan/?action=view&current=IMG_2786.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/swantan/IMG_2786.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Guest model Jowee working the neutrals!

Sorry abt the kid behind though...<br /><br />Anyway, that's her signature bow hairband from Diva and she really pulled off the sparkly red wedges from Vincci which matched her quilted bag. And by keeping the rest of her outfit monochromatic, the red really pops! I think I like it coz it's probably something I wouldn't have been able to pull off - especially the shoes! ;)<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/swantan/IMG_2787.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 666px;" src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/swantan/IMG_2787.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I don't know why my pose looks so awkward here. =/<br /><br />Top - Sg.Wang<br />Sandals- Vincci<br />White belt- Tangs, Singapore<br />Studded bag - Cats Whiskers<br />Winged ring - Asian Avenue, Sunway Pyramid (I found out Bonita are doing cheapo rip offs of it though)<br />Watch - D&G<br />Blue bracelet - Australia<br />Diana Mini Lomocam - Mooks<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/swantan/IMG_2788.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 666px;" src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm204/swantan/IMG_2788.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Ann's Lookbook worthy picture! :D<br />Loving the polkadots.<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">That's it for now folks!<br /></div>Swan.Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14148271174296169409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907174809514235285.post-35883319755531726242010-02-24T04:22:00.000-08:002010-02-24T20:51:50.846-08:00Dick Pants<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID8310/images/resized_penispants_1_.jpg" alt="Penis pants debut in Madrid" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Was browsing through some sites till I saw this piece from Isabel Mustache, seriously?!?! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Whose going to wear that!

It was quite a tiring routine having to paint like that for every ten fingers and plus, it was just my first time doing it with a <strong>toothpick</strong>. I only have a bright orange and the dark purple is the closest I've got to black so that's why the colour combination might seem weird to you.

I've always wanted a big black bow headband and this is actually big enough to be seen on my black hair! Have been spending the whole CNY with Dad, Mum and Sis only just like the old times, four of us. A dream came true? Somehow, it feels different from what I have in mind. Things could never be the same as last time I guess? I'll just take whatever that is being put in front of me.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff0000;">Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone!</span></strong></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span> </div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff0000;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff0000;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><em>Bow headband, Cheetah Ring from Diva : Bodysuit from Miss Selfridge : High waisted denim shorts from Valleygirl.</em> </span></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11953431198411305564noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907174809514235285.post-85533981720294887052010-01-29T02:11:00.000-08:002010-01-29T03:11:05.747-08:00Treats for the Big V Day!Big V is definitely drawing near!!

It's perfect for spicing up your outfit and giving it some edge. Feeling inspired and since my hand's have been itching for quite awhile now, I attempted to make one of my own.<br /><br /><br /><br />Some of you might know this but during my early teen days, I went through a beads/DIY craze so till now, I've got lots of left over beads which still come in hands when I'm feeling crafty. So here's how I did mine; (<span style="font-style: italic;">no step by step picture tutorial since it was a spur of a moment thing and I did it while watching tv</span>)<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">STEP 1:</span> I cut out the bottom of an old pair of black jeans. You can use whatever suits you but I used black jeans because that's what I had lying untouched in my drawers. Just use your own judgment and refer to the original picture to get a rough idea of the shape and size.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">STEP 2:</span> Once you've got the base, go crazy customizing it! I used the silver <span style="font-style: italic;">whatever-it-is-called</span> to help make it pop, it was leftovers that I bought last year from Jusco for my scrapbook project. IMO, it gives it a little military-esque vibe. I bought the studs from Petaling Street, RM10 for a packet of 100, faux pearls and chains that I just had lying around. Again, I was only working with whatever I had at home atm, so just go crazy with your design!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvJa4vz6LHZG-9aUVp4ukbIEbcuwEjJMMbq-SzWT-QD7hpfFSdv7tYosNu5CsbL9IvpLGk7GUerBQV-1Ap3TUoGQtZQlectr0ho0ayMjKF4IW66Wuj4DAsSNHuKOPdmYmtzM8j8igs0FYv/s1600-h/P1160101.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 484px; height: 321px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvJa4vz6LHZG-9aUVp4ukbIEbcuwEjJMMbq-SzWT-QD7hpfFSdv7tYosNu5CsbL9IvpLGk7GUerBQV-1Ap3TUoGQtZQlectr0ho0ayMjKF4IW66Wuj4DAsSNHuKOPdmYmtzM8j8igs0FYv/s400/P1160101.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424236520551376242" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is what I got.<br /><br />I personally don't dare to go OTT.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">STEP 2 1/2: </span>This isn't complete yet. I plan to get pins attached underneath so I can pin them down to any jacket and add fringe details so it'll hang over the shoulders.<br /><br /><br />Another one of my worries is that the fabric is peeling. Got to figure out how to seal them up so it doesn't keep peeling. So here's what it looks like on a blazer! Btw, the blazer is vintage. Got it from my mum. :) Gotta love the comeback of yesteryear's fashion.
