Houndstooth? Checkmate!
HOUNDSTOOTH. The story.
Houndstooth, also known as houndstooth check, originated in Scotland at an unrecorded date. Its traditional colors are black and white, though modern versions use more colorful subsititutions. According to John Telfer Dunbar's "The Costume of Scotland," houndstooth was originally made on woven wool cloth, but it's since made its way to tweed and other fabrics.
A similar style pattern is known as Glen Plaid.
Though I love all kinds of fabric , texture , patterns.
Houndstooth for the win!

Perks of being Pink.
Fall has arrived. Behold the changing leaves, and enjoy the crisp breeze. Let your eyes take in the bursts of color. Transformation is afoot and hope is in the air.
Happy November Everyone!
Perks of being Pink.
Have you ever thought about Pink being suitable unisex colours?
THE HISTORY OF PINK [nope! Not
the singer, silly!]
The colour pink
represents compassion, nurturing and love. It relates to unconditional love and
understanding, and the giving and receiving of nurturing.
A combination of red and white, pink contains the need for action
of red, helping it to achieve the potential for success and insight offered by
white. It is the passion and power of red softened with the purity, openness
and completeness of white. The deeper the pink, the more passion and energy it
exhibits.
Pink is feminine and romantic, affectionate and intimate,
thoughtful and caring. It tones down the physical passion of red replacing it
with a gentle loving energy.
So Pink is good J
Variations of
the Color Pink
Blush: Similar to skin color, this very pale pink has
sensual and sexual connotations. It is non-threatening but lacks passion and
energy.
Rose
Pink: This is the pink
of universal love and unity. It is mature, feminine and intuitive.
Salmon
Pink: There is a touch
of orange in salmon pink. It encourages the flirt, and can be a sign of the
timid lover, all talk and no play.
Orchid: This is an unusual lavender-pink and relates to the
unconventional and the individual doing his or her own thing. It is the non
conformist.
Fuchsia: A blend of deep pink and blue, fuchsia inspires
confidence, assurance and maturity, a more responsible and controlled nurturing
and love.
Hot
Pink: Hot pink
inspires a more passionate, playful and sensual love. It exudes warmth and
happiness and a love of life.
My outfit goes out to those who just adore pink!
Happy November Everyone!

2012 Halloween Special PART 2
| DARYL AND STEPHIE co. |
Continuation ...
My fellow friends were very quirky with their choice in costume which I very much fancied.
Daryl decided to dress up as her favorite character from Pretty Little Liars' Aria Montgomery [Lucy Hale]
| Aria's look is both sophistication and 'funky' . She's bold and dramatic! |
| Aria is creative with accessories. The bizarre - the Better! |
| Aria is also simple .. sometimes :) . I LOVE YOUR RED CONVERSE! |
17 year old Stephanie dressed up as a peculiar character that I couldn't put my finger on who she was. She said that it was just a random person covered in a variety of colors and fabrics. Nothing says Halloween without Randomness.
| White shirt topped off with Denim Vest. Floral Ascot. Grey Chiffon skirt Random designed printed leggings Hot Pink low-cut Converse yup. Random |
| The Chiffon skirt is my favorite piece. |
| From Left to Right. Aria Montgomery, Random girl , Carly Rae Jepsen , Effie Trinket , Witches , Star Trek and Pippy Longstocking |

2012 Halloween Special. PART 1
Tis; the month of one of my beloved occasion.
and don't you just love dressing up as your favorite 'villain' in a action movie or a just put on a horrific costume that scares the heck out of others and spend the entire night with your pals and simply knock from door-to-door, use the magic phrases 'Trick or Treat' and BOOM. Your bag is filled with delectable-sugary candies and chocolates. Yup. Halloween is just the perfect excuse for that!
I was so-called the '2012 Summer's Youtube Sensation' Ms.Carly Rae Jepsen. It was definitely a close-enough success. Credits to Stephanie for hair and make up and Daryl for photography!
That night couldn't have been better if it weren't for Carly's perkiness. :D
