oh my heart... dresses!

Have you seen Elsie Flannigan's new Spring Dress Line??

Oh there's tons more in her blog! All of them are so adorable! That girl is really mod this season. I've been searching for dresses with peter pan collars these days and look at that. The girl delivers. Haha! Seriously, I can't pick a favorite since all of them are really nice. 

Go on, check em out!

so help me God....

I have a confession to make.

I do not know how to make a scrapbook.

Guess the reason I go minimalist is because the combination of scrapbooks + colorful embellishments is daunting that I often find myself staring at the pictures and papers and whatnot and asking my self, "Then what...?"

A friend of mine (bless her) asked me to help her design their scrapbook. I told her upfront to not expect too much from me because I'm not a scrapbooker but she said go for it anyway. I couldn't say no.

And so the living room is filled with my clutter this morning...

Good thing I got these magazines for a steal! Thank you Booksale! And the papers and embellishments were from National Bookstore.

I hope I'd be able to pull this off.......

DIY Tuesday: mini brag book

Hello!

I know I've been out for a loooooooong time so I'm going to make it up to you. Here's something for those of you who likes doing stuff with paper...

instructions under the jump!

weekend loot

We went to the mall yesterday with the aim to walk aimlessly. We usually go to anywhere with books (Booksale and National Bookstore) and/or record stores (Odyssey) and were able to snag these gems:

• Goodbye 20th Century: A Biography of Sonic Youth by David Browne (Php 164)
• Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer (Php 315)
• Permanent: Joy Division 1995 (Php 500-ish... I think...)

I learned about Jonathan Safran Foer though Carina (nothingspaces.com) as she is a HUUUUUUGE fan. I've been reading a few pages and I must admit I'm starting to love it. :) Thanks Carina! 

We trolled around the mall, watching kids like we always do. 

(the boyfriend tries to hide. he's camera shy as you can see.)

(and he's content with taking weird pictures of me. hello wonky eye.)

BTW, it's nice to see everyone using paper bags in this mall. I guess it can be a pain especially if your carrying food (my baked potatoes from Wendy's almost fell out of the paper bag due to moisture) but still...

Have a great week guys! :)
