The wonderfully talented and extremely sweet Joelyn from The Sydney Girl did a sketch of me and it was one of the nicest presents I’ve ever received! I love her beautiful illustrations and I find her drawings to be such an inspiration. Thank you!!!
This weekend, I didn’t do much except catch up on all your lovely blogs, made a polyvore collage and do the long-delayed tag! First, here’s something I’d like to wear to a meeting if I work at a fashion magazine.
The beautiful Brigadeiro shared lovely awards (Thank you!!) with me and tagged me to list 10 interesting things about myself. I listed 6 things about myself in this post so I’ll list 4 more:
1) I don’t know how to swim. (So ironic considering I live on an island but this has to do with a traumatic experirence when my cousin tried to drown me when I was little).
2) I move around a lot when I sleep.
3) I used to do a lot of impulse shopping in the past but now I think twice about what I’m going to buy and how I spend my money.
4) I believe in happily after and will do anything for love.
One of the most stylish bloggers I know Lily from through the looking glass tagged me and here is where I blog and 6 more random things about me:
1) When I grow old, I want to move to an old charming town somewhere in Europe.
2) I’m constantly writing down new outfit ideas for my blog.
3) I would love to be a stylist where I’m given unlimited funds to create any look I wanted.
4) My favorite male models are usually English or French and my favorite female models are usually Australian or Spanish.
5) I love reading children’s books.
Cutie fashion, thanks and have a nice day.
I can relate to almost all of these, I am one of those girls that still buys pretty childrens books 🙂
Ooh! Loved reading these! Your Polyvore 'outfit' is gorgeous! Love the PS1 bag!
Oh, #1 is sad 🙁 Hopefully you get over the trauma, swimming can be such a freeing & peaceful experience…

yeah, the sydney girl rocks!!
she did a good job with the sketch.
it's really you, shin!
huh! i don't know how to swim too.
once i know that the water is deeper, i get panic.
you and mr. freddy couldn't sleep together because he moves around the bed too. he fell from the bed 3 times already that's why he doesn't sleep with us(my husband and me) anymore. LOL!
p.s thanks for answering to my Q.
You look lovely in the sketh!
Oh I like that the fabric/fashion has been incorporated in that sketch.
I've been looking for a bag like that for ages. Still havent found the perfect one when I have money/plastic in my pocket
aww childrens books are gorgeous!!! i used to sleep with books under my pillow as a child!!! haha
3) I used to do a lot of impulse shopping in the past but now I think twice about what I'm going to buy and how I spend my money. <– good on you.
and i like how you'll do anything for love.
mwaaaaaaaaaa

i think the sketch is good, very lovely. and i love reading children's books too, not sure, but they seem more adventures and easier to read too..
What a lovely sketch. It's so you!
Oh, I still love children's books, too. I just bought one recently for the gorgeous illustrations.
Such a cool drawing!!
That sketch is fantastic! As is the outfit you choose! I especially love the bag & boots!
It's so lovely to hear when people still believe in true love and happily ever after! I do too! I also still love reading kids books. Maybe theres a connection there… =P
The sketch is of course, amazing… Joelyn is such a doll, isn't she!
Such a great post… I absolutely loved your list, the fact that you read children's books, and the Polyvore set! xxx

Unlimited funds? Le sigh. LOVE that bracelet! And the sketch is so gorg. She is ridiculously talented!

haha I can barely swim 🙁 & I live in California! but the fact that every house I've lived in so far has had a pool or one near it makes it really sad. I've always had a fear of drowning especially since this one thing that happened so since then I could never go into any water too deep.. I love that outfit by the way 😀
i really like the striped blouse very stylish.
and the sketch the girl did is amazing.

The shoes are killer!!
X, fashion-nerdic.
haha I always write down ideas for my blog too 🙂 Whenever I'm reading a magazine or whenever I'm stuck at work, I'm glad to know I'm not alone in this haha!
I can completely understand why you'd spend the last of your money on that white blazer, it's totally sold out now but it is gorgeous and a complete time piece – it will last you forever 🙂 My boyfriend treated me to the new lace blazer online, so excited to get it! 🙂
Thanks for the help and advice for my blog 🙂

*Amazing fashion and art! 🙂
those sketches are really stunning!
and the outfit in your collage is D.O.P.E
That drawing is so sweet…Love the meme you put together – I would also love to end up in a small European town, however knowing me (and where I come from) it'll be in Norway lol
Cath and I can't swim either and we grew up going to the beach as well (though we don't quite live on an island here in the ATL 😉
That sketch of you is too sweet- and captures the movements you usually have in your photos perfectly!
Dear Shin
