PORKOT 2010

Knapa hrs dmulai tgl 26 April sih? Itu kan masih hari euforia nya anak2 SMA yg baru lulus. Tapi ada enak, ada nggk nya jg sih. Scara gw harus rela gak ikut coret2 seragam demi ini. Aduuuh, ironis bgt emang!



Maennya di lapangan tennis Vila Citra. Tiap peserta kan boleh milih 2 partai. Pilihannya tuh:
Single (putra/putri),
Double (putra/putri),
Mix Double (campuran)
PS: Double berpasangan ama senior.

Hari pertama itu gw maen single lawan Nabila. Gak tau, hari itu tuh gw maen jeleeek bgt! Asli, malah out trus. Untungnya menang, walupun beda tipis. Trus babak berikutnya gw lawan Lilik, wah yg ini gw lebih jelek lg maennya. Mana malem2, mata gw remang2 gitu deh. Akhirnya gw harus ngaku kekalahan jugaa.

Besok2 nya, gw dateng buat maen double. Seenggak nya gw dpt perunggu dari mix double, ama Om Edy. Tadi nya sih gw mau partner-an ama Om Rinto, eh dia nya sok sibuk kuliah lah. Nah, bingung deh gw nyari siapa2 lg yg mau diajak maen double.
Trus ada Kak Andre, tp akhirnya gak jadi jg krn Om Edy udah ngedaftarin gw ama dia. Agak gak enak jg sih gw ama Kak Andre nya, masa gw ninggalin dia gitu aja? Jadi, gw cariin dia pasangan lg, gw pasangin aja tuh ama Hikmah, kebetulan dia jg mau. Hhahaa. Oke smua jadi fix, gw ama Om Edy deh. Dan lumayan jg kita bisa ke semifinal. Hheee.


piagam kosong (masa disuruh isi sendiri?) ama medali perunggu dari mix double



 ini medali nyaaa..


Nah, tanggal 30 April ini kan deville penutupannya, harusnya sih smua kontingen itu dateng ke stadion pahoman. Tapii, knapa jadi cuma gw ama Hikmah yg dateng sih? Asli, freak abis kitaorg dsana, cuma bisa nonton dari atas tribun penonton. Ditambah ada kejadian bego dan heboh abis dari sana, huuaaah! Besok2 deh gw certain, hahhaa! Tungguin aja.


New Hairstyles For Women

The leaders of new hairstyles for women are undoubtedly the cat walk, fashion shows, celebrity awards and magazines. The trends are showcased by leading hairstylists of their latest creations and this is all a very big bonanza of information for you.

To choose the right hair style for you simply cut out the photos of the hair style you desire, three or four different styles highlighting different cutting techniques and also several photos of different hair colours. You will need the photos so you can discuss with your friends what they think of the style and more importantly if that hair style would suit you.

As an individual you might have a different view of yourself then what your friends have. This is why it is important to have them give you their advice so you can consider or reconsider your photos and desired haircut. After following this advice you will finally have a group of photos of hairstyles and colours that you believe will suit you and your life style.

Now it comes time to make your hair salon appointment. Making a decision to have a new hairstyle is not to be taken lightly as most restyling will come with a hefty price, taking into account the hair salon brand name, the cutting technique used and the colour of your hair.

It is very important to make your appointment with your hair stylist, the stylist you know and can trust. This way you can show the stylist your photos of the style and then the colour you want your new hairstyle to be. The hairstylist can then provide you with technical information such as if the style would suit your face and head shape. The stylist can recommend the cutting technique that will highlight the style as well as the appropriate colour that will suit you.

Once this has been discussed with your hairstylist you can then proceed to decide on the final cut. As the cutting commences both you and your stylist can fine tune the style as it progresses and starts to take shape. The stylist knows exactly what they are doing and what affect the cutting technique will have on the "sit" of the hair.

Once the style has been cut you can then proceed to the colour and this must be looked at and discussed before the product is applied. What you see in a photograph might be an entirely different style that you see in the mirror.

Now we have our hair styled to exactly what we want and we have our hair colour that is perfect for you. Looks great in the mirror and while your in the salon. This brings us to the next point of can you get that same style at home. Your stylist will discuss with you how to maintain the look of your hair and what techniques you need to use to get that same hair salon look.

After spending quite some time and money on your new hairstyle you will now need to look after your hair. This is where your hair stylist can recommend different hair products that will keep the bounce, shine and look of your new hair style.

After going through this effort you might become the next leader for new hairstyles for women so why would any other woman not want to have a new hairstyle just as you have show cased. Its not only models and celebrities who can set the trend for new hairstyles for women as your style will be individual to you and admired by others

Top 5 Wallets to Buy for your Boyfriend

I have the pickiest hubby in the WORLD. Not his fault, it’s mine because I married him by choice, not force. This picky husband needs a new wallet and I love my husband and think he deserves the best. So, through my research and his specific needs I found 3 things that every guy needs in their wallet. 1) They need lots and lots of credit card slots. Even if you are still in college and have one debit card, one day you will have a girlfriend and will need a credit card or multiple ones. 2) It needs to be as slim as possible. Most guys put their wallets in their back pocket and it can’t be too comfortable if you are sitting lopsided because of your 6-inch thick money holder. 3) It needs to be stylin’! This wallet has to function for work, play, and those “nice dinner” dates. And when it comes time to pay the check (because you will have to pay the check!) you better whip out something snazzy. impressive, and luxurious, but still tough enough to sit next to your sweaty right butt cheek all day long. Sooooo, here’s my top 5 men’s wallets for the style-conscious connoisseur, otherwise called manly man.

The Güs Horizontal Wallet

This wallet is damn near perfect. It contains 6 credit card slots. I would put that as the minimum number, but it’s still plenty of room. It also has two side pockets underneath the credit card slots, which gives you even extra room for storage. 8 mm thick. You know how thin that is? Hand-crafted in Italy, this wallet is designed for the man’s man that appreciates aesthetics. The red stitching is unique as well as the split shot perforation (if you think that’s too much, the black can come with or without it). Güs is after my own heart. Or my husband’s. And plus it’s not logo-y, the quality speaks for itself. You can buy through their website for $145. They also have other styles that are based on the same premise.

Burberry Classic Check Wallet

8 credit card slots, parfait! This Burberry wallet is pretty slim for a designer wallet. The outside check pattern is coated to protect it from wear and tear and pays homage to Burberry’s signature look, but it is not overdone. My Hubby loved this wallet, but preferred the graphite/gray color that is not available on this particular style. Otherwise, the Italian leather on the inside is divine and hits my top three priorities in a wallet. Yay Burberry. You can purchase through Saks for $250.

http://blog.replicaestore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/louis-vuitton-monogram-canvas-elise-wallet-replicaestorecom.jpgLouis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Ten-Card Billfold

I love Louis Vuitton monogram canvas, but a little goes a long way. So a men’s wallet is perfect to carry around without being too loud. and LV only makes this one wallet that is nearly perfect to a man’s needs. It has TEN credit card slots. It’s a whopper, but those credit card slots are absolutely necessary. They even have 2 extra pockets for receipts, condoms, whatever. Plus, Louis Vuitton is rockin’, you don’t see too many guys carrying it, and I know from personal experience that this material is nearly indestructible. Definitely the most durable and waterproof wallet you will find on the designer market that looks good all at the same time. So put away your duct-tape wallet and buy through Eluxury for $370.

April in Paris Custom Men's Wallet

April in Paris was founded by a lovely artisan that used to work for Hermès. So you know she knows a thing or two about leather and how to make the good stuff. If you go to her website she offers custom colors and leather to make the wallet of your dreams. You can choose between calf leather and alligator, but let’s pretend you are a cheap mo-fo and go for the calf leather. The wallet will set you back $650. But you get to choose the outside and inside color of the leather. It comes with six card slots, but what the wallet lacks in the storage department it more than makes up for in style. This would be one hot wallet, and custom options are always a nice perk. You can make your own custom wallet here for $650 for calf leather and $1,150 for the alligator. You would be kickin’ it.

Bottega Noce Fume Men's Wallet

Bottega Veneta Noce Fume Wallet

This is the wallet to end all wallets. I have seen high-end department stores with their exotic wallets, and to be honest they looked cheesy and cheap to me. I hate when they take gorgeous skin and make it look and feel like plastic. Not exactly the look I’m going for. Bottega Veneta is a superior leather goods company that makes classic, gorgeous handbags. Luckily for the men they make drool-worthy wallets too. Made from soft Noce crocodile, this BV wallet has 8 credit card slots. Are you still with me? It is to die for! The skin looks so rich, and even the inside leather is outstanding. Of course you would expect that coming from this fashion house and unfortunately it comes with a price. You can purchase through Bottega Veneta online for $920. But this wallet will last you years and if you have the dough to burn, put it towards this hot mess of a wallet. Life is too short to carry around your ten-year old velcro monstrosity when this beauty exists in the world.

Chanel TV Belt

Chanel TV Belt

Gadgets Gone Glamorous! None other than our beloved Karl Lagerfeld himself put his innovative mastermind to work to create this Chanel TV Belt. This gem was almost overlooked during this year’s Chanel Spring/Summer 2005 Runway Presentation, yet it is the item for any socialite this summer. Yeap, Karl is always good for some ridiculous magic out of the blue. And yes, the screens did indeed show Nicole Kidman’s ad while the models ran the catwalk. However, it is questionable that this gadget will ever hit the Chanel stores. A lady at the NYC store apparently mentioned it may stay runway only, but who knows with Chanel. What more could this world need than more garnered attention and stares at peoples crotches? More pictures below…

There’s no doubt about it – bow ties are in!

This past week at Toronto’s LG Fashion Week, I was struck by how many bow ties were fashionably worn on and off the runway.

I do wonder though if bow ties were ever out of fashion? People like Andre 3000 and Justin Timberlake were wearing them long ago.

Nowadays, other celebrities (or their stylists) are fans of the bow tie.

For a casual look, a bow tie is best paired with a patterned shirt and jeans.

If you’re not ready to bow-it-up for daytime, it’ll always be a winning accessory for the tuxedo.

Although some celebrity women are showing bow tie appreciation, I think this is one accessory that is best left for men.

Adding a little ZIP to your purse

I've been sprucing things up a bit. Overhauling, upgrading, updating.... making LOTS of zip purses!
Lots of purse combinations and composition changes were photographed before this one won as the new cover of the Coin Purse Kit. Nice and bright - covering a few different tastes in fabric design

There are four shapes and sizes of purse (12cm and 10cm boxed corner purses and 12cm and 10cm squared). The kit contains the instructions for putting a zip in a LINED purse with NEAT corners (not bunched-up-end-of-zip-in-seam corners). There are also 2 x black and 2 x white zips in each size.

The Make-Up purse kit is ONE size (15cm) and comes with four 15cm metal zips (2 x black and 2 x white). We stock these zips as well. :)

Are you scared of zips? I'm surprised how many people are. So I'm going to be running a workshop at the Stitches and Craft Show to show zip-shy people that zips are (relatively) harmless haberdashery... nothing to be scared of.
I'll be teaching a super-easy way to make lined zip purses in all sorts of sizes - from coin purse to luggage pouch. See that lovley colourful pile above..? All done with this same easy method!
