LOOKBOOK: And she moved like a China Doll 2.

This has got to be my favourite (and most successful) 'photo shoot' thus far. Everything was right to me; the lights, the dress, the makeup, the facial expressions, how I look creepily like a doll in some shots (Mum got totally freaked out by the first shot.)... Well, everything except for that obstructive, but very necessary, silly socket.

I don't usually shop at Cotton On because the clothes aren't really my style (Too loose and airy.) but every once in a while they come up with a really great dress. By 'great', I mean simple, comfortable and completely made out of cotton (I think.). And yes, very affordable.

The navy lace high-knee socks from Forever 21 didn't work out as nicely as I thought they would. Nevertheless, I still have a couple more shots which I really like and perhaps, will post another time (But it's like Part II is already boring. What would a Part III do!).

P.S.: You might have noticed that my ombré arms aren't that ombré anymore! I'm ecstatic about it! Will blog about the product soon. :DDD

Like a porcelain doll, but even those have faults.
It's just harder to see, with the plastic smile and glassy eyes.

RAMBLINGS: Gym Songs

Every Thursday, I go for my gym classes. My instructor's called Julian and he makes all these motivational whooping sounds like he really means it but I don't think he does and I find it amusing, whether I'm right or wrong. I like it when he sings to the tracks because he does so in a funny way. So his classes are always enjoyable for me.

But the one thing that I really, really like about his classes is his pretty amazing playlist. Just yesterday, he played techno versions (Okay, I don't speak music. Those remix stuff. That's techno, right?) of N'Sync's 'Bye Bye Bye' and Aqua's 'Happy Boys and Girls'. And there are many other songs which I like and don't know but I can never, for the life of me, remember the lyrics when I step out of the gym.

A-ha's 'Take On Me' was pretty easy to find because it's a popular song. But oh boy... For Sy's 'U R My Phantasy', I had to really listen hard while I was spinning and then, repeat the few lyrics that I caught over and over, while other songs were playing, until I got to my phone. And with a spelling like that... Of course, Of course I googled 'fantasy' and came up with naught. So yay! I'm really happy to have finally found it! :D Now to conquer the rest...

Gym's hard work; both physical and mental. But 'tis very, very fun!
