Obsession Du Jour: Platinum Blondes

I have been, for a long time now (months!) been obsessed with icy blondes. I think, contrary to popular belief (of my adament friends)  you can avoid looking cheap or 'playmate' territory by keeping style and silhouette chic and neutral, with restrained accessories. Channel such sophisticated women like Tilda Swinton, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Kate Moss, Daul Kim, Soyoung Kang, Jean Harlow, Vlada Roslyakova, and Dewi Driegan.

Dear...

Dear readers,
Sorry for the intermittent blogging lately everyone. It may technically be uni holidays but I have been crazy busy, because I know when semester begins, officially tomorrow, I won't be able to do the things I've been doing now. I'm so bummed.


Dear all people I said I'd have coffee with yet still haven't,
Please wait, you're turn will come around! Soon. I promise.


Dear Severus Snape,
Oh, Snape! Hear that "crack"? It's the sound of my heart breaking every time I think of you. The saddest love story of the decade.

Dear Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2,
"It all ends."??? I will now have to fill that void with Harry Potter merchandise and creepy fan fics. Just kidding.
Maybe, if it has a lot of Draco making out.
Just kidding.


Dear anti Harry Potter fans,
Levicorpus!


Dear Matt Damon-look-a-like pal,
My dream isn't finding the perfect guy, I'm not that naive. It's being able to eat without getting fat.


Dear Micky Yoochun,
I've just started watching your series "Miss Ripley". I'm sorry but, whenever you appear on screen, I never know what you're saying. You're making it so difficult! Grrr! I'm too busy staring at your neck. I'm sorry you have a really nice neck! I swear I couldn't hear my brother yelling at me beause I was too captivated by your sexy adam's apple.


Dear self,
Are you walking the walk by faith?

Life imitates Art

Life imitates art, or in this case Disney cartoon. They described the recent Royal nuptials as a ‘fairytale wedding’, and it turns out the Royal wedding was actually a remake of a Disney cartoon. The similarities between the origianl and the real-life sequel are remarkable – although the additional casting of the Pippa character was a stroke of genius. Sometimes life is funny.
