Huge headache

Happy midweek everyone! Mine's not so happy so far. I've had this huge headache since waking up this morning. I've taken some aspirin and it still has not gone away. Hmm, I think I'll get my 40 winks.. Later!

Brilliant idea: Cable art design

Amazing, amazing home design by Maisie Maud Broadhead! She made a series of installations created with wire flex and cable fixings to turn a lamp's cable into a fireplace decor/frame! I am really loving this!

That is one looong cable, isn't it? I am so at awe over this design, because it is just so impeccably creative! How about you? Are you as impressed as I am? Would you ever try this at home?

Tree bookshelf

I know, I know, I am a full-grown adult. But aren't you just loving this tree bookshelf by designer Shawn Soh? It's just too cute! And it acts both as decor and furniture, love it!

Let's talk book: The Shadow of the Wind

I just finished reading this book over the weekend and I cannot stop marveling about it. It was a sad but epic story of love, death, deception, dreams and hope.

Someday, I might just visit a Cemetery of Forgotten Books, which the main character visited as a child, taking with him a book he is sworn to protect the rest of his life. A book that strangely has him entangled in an age old conflict that began with the author himself.

Have you read this book? What book are you reading at the moment?

Happy weekend!

No, no it's not my birthday. We're celebrating my boyfriend's birthday on Sunday though and I am soo excited. And I can't believe he's turning 30!! Time passes by so quickly, but he' so thankful to be able to reach such age. Happy birthday Jay!

Weekly ebay find: Vintage Catherine Malandrino jacket

I am loving this vintage, funky Catherine Malandrino jacket. It would make any outfit look chic and edgy at the same time. Put it on a dress, a plain white tank or a sequined top (like photo above), and you've got yourself some rocking look!

Latest bid was 100 bucks (so cheap!!!), so hurry up and start bidding now!

Chic book stand

I saw these lovely book stands over at Saizen the other day! Oh aren't the vintage-looking ones to die for?


If you like the modern type more, there's one for you too!


I love the vintage-inspired stands, but I couldn't choose between the three so I ended up not buying until I decide which one to go for.

Don't you just love these stands? Run to Saizen and get your pair now!
