~Lurrrrrve this portraits!

.

I've never had my portrait done by a professional photographer ...errr school yearbook, driver's licence or passport photos do NOT count! Anyway, if I were to have one done, this beautiful portraits of model, Natalia Vodianova would be a lovely inspiration I think. Would love to wear a simple voluminous ball gown, no fancy jewelry, natural make-up...and most importantly NO shoes! My-my-my...I'm so vain like that!(blush-blush*). Anyway I think I would look fabulousss...I can already picture it! ~take a look:

Jolly Baby*

.

"...oooh I want to squeeze those cheeks! "

... I asked my mom about my baby dayz...she told me I used to be an intense & serious baby, seldom showed my adorable-jolly-sweet smile! Nothing much has changed really...errr always think I look 'desperate' when I smile too much! I really need to work on those facial muscles more often...and be the best desperate person I could be...yup!

~SMILEsss*

~Books*

This is my collection of books a.k.a my 'home-library'.

I really do have a passion for books since I was pretty young...

have them in almost every room now...even in the bath room~

you know...I like to read while I...~woops sorry, too much info!!!

Anywayyy...here are some beautiful cloth-bound-classic

series that I would lurrrve to add to my collection...

~What better excuse to revisit these timeless tales!

.

Coralie Bickford-Smith is the talented designer behind these decorated books [available here & also here]. Aren't they gorgeous?! These classics come in a set of 10, or we can buy each one individually...but I think the entire collection on a bookcase is such a BIG turn ON! ~Sexy!! Anyway...the great thing is that Penguin has now uploaded the images to their Flickr account so we can check out all of the gorgeousss designs up close. Who says we don't judge a book by its cover...errr I do! I must admit, I'm quite shallow like that! ~XOXO*

Photoshop is FUN*...errr funny!

This model was obviously bitten in the neck(a BIG chunk!) by a vampire,

which made her into a vampire now...why?

Because she has no more reflection in the TV screen!

.

where does one buy an invisible bag?!

hmmm...must check out Victoria's Secret...

.

I need to feed her my duck recipe...pronto!

...and her right hand is swollen from holding that heavy clucth bag?!

.

You know what they say about a man with small hands!

who cares...he still looks very happy, perhaps it's just a myth?!

.

" E.T phone home... "

.

wow...BIG hand lady!

well...bigger than that man with the headphones above!

.

extra fingers can be a bonus when you are a pianist...

not so sure about motorcyclist though!

.

Dear art directors & photoshoppers out there,

you thought nobody will notice huh?

errr...WE ARE THAT NOBODY?!

~reBORN*

... ASHLEY WATSON and her team handcraft one-of-a-kind leather products using exclusively recycled material. She began designing handbags with recycled leather, inspired by the original features of soft and gently worn jackets purchased from charity thrift stores. She ultimately incorporates these features, such as pockets and seams, into each unique bag or wallet design. ~Fabulousss...I think worn-leather is even yummier no?!

PS: Happy Birthday to my dear sister! She is sharing her birthday with Sir Isaac Newton today... Most importantly, she also kicked cancer's ass 3 years ago! So very blessed to be alive & well~Woo-Hoo!!!

It's always a pleasure to cook & entertain at home...

wish I could do it more often...perhaps this year I should?!

As much as I enjoy cooking, must say that taking

the photos was quite enjoyable as well...

errr...Thanks to BLOGGING that is!

otherwise I wouldn't have picked up my camera

to click-click-click in the kitchen...ahhh yes, life of a blogger!

~take a look Darlings, show off time! (ehem-ehem*)
