Lovely wedding shoes

Aw, don't these girls have the most amazing shoes ever in a wedding? Love!

Oh, and I just have to add this pic of the bride and groom because it's really worth swooning over:

Robin Hood

I just saw the trailer of Robin Hood from YouTube and it really got my heart pumping. I have watched Gladiator countless times and I am really excited to see Russel Crowe and Ridley Scott work together on an epic again. I've always loved Robin Hood (laughed at Kevin Costner's version, watched the cartoon series and endless stage plays) but I haven't seen a production in a more serious tone, discussing the real story behind the legend. So even if it won't be released til May 2010, I am already starting to count the days! Meanwhile, here's another look at the trailer:



Oh, and I can't see any green tights around. That's a good thing, right?

Funny idea: pet backside patches

This a bit of a turn from all the Christmas posts, but upon seeing it from World of Wonder, I flipped and I just had to post it here! It's a patch to cover your pet's "unmanicured backside". The product is from Rear Gear and it comes in various designs such as disco balls, smiley faces and cupcakes. See the Holiday edition below:

What do you think, brilliant or downright funny?

Cure Thrift Shop

Lovely vintage finds (Christmas gifts!!!) from Cure Thrift Shop:

Kurt Adler 1957 paper mache that opens up for sweets!

Let the cash flow in this gorge register

Timeless station clock replica

The store dubbed it "Ernie in Thought"

I love it that such amazing items can be found in just one NY store. Finding these in the local scene would be such a tough job. But I think I have the willpower to do some serious hunting. Now all I need is enough time.

Happy weekend!

Just two weekends left before Christmas! Are you panicking already? I hate it when we get all worried and worked out about our preparations for Christmas that we don't get to actually enjoy the season. So this weekend, I'm gonna do some quick shopping and then I'd spend the rest of it with my family. Just relax and get excited for the Holidays. How about you? What are you up to this weekend? Enjoy!!!

Weekly ebay find: vintage Christmas shoes!

I love looking at these pair of vintage Colorwerks Christmas gym shoes, because it matches one of my Holiday sweaters!

Can you imagine yourself pulling out one of these every Christmas? Just for walking around the house. If yes, well I think this one has been sold already, but the seller has two other designs that you can check out!

Time for fruitcake!

After all these years of Christmas fruitcake-giving, I haven't found the perfect one for my taste. It's either too bland or quite overwhelming. I've never tried baking one (and I still wont this year), but I might just ask my sister to try this recipe. She's been looking for the perfect recipe all over the web these past few days.

We all could use some really pretty decors during the Holiday season and these bulbs are just perfect!

Animal ballpen: kiddie giveaway

My sister Jacky bought this oh so cute animal ballpen/keychain over at Market! Market! for our little sister and I loved it it as much as she (li'l sis) did! It's an animal key chain with a detachable head that doubles as a pen! Now, that's a nice Christmas giveaway for little kids.

Cute headband!

I found this cute (and uber cheap!) pair of Blair Waldorf-type headband at Market! Market! department store over the weekend. I've been studying it and I think I could make one myself. Hmm, I just need the right fabric, some good amount of time and a pitcher of patience over my skills. Then maybe I could give it out as Christmas gifts! With less than 20 days before Christmas, I really do wish I could squeeze this little project in my schedule, cos nothing beats the thoughtfulness of hand-made presents!
