I bought the prettiest hair piece today. It was handcrafted in central america. its made of glass beads and wood on a black leather piece. It set me back a good $15 but i believe it was well spent. I have made beaded crafts before and god it is time consuming! picking up every single tiny glass bead, one by one. first with your fingers and then insert the needle in the whole. then stitch the thread so the beads are secure. then repeat 500,000 million times. i reckon this one hair piece would take hours even for an expert bead-er so i appreciate and respect the workmanship that has gone in to this. That being said, i was quite disheartened when a young (maybe the same age as me) boy and girl beside me at the marketplace stole a bag. I didn't even realise it until vman told me what happened.
Girl takes bag off rag and puts it on: "Hey, look at me!"
Guy: "Com'on, let's go"
Guy and Girl both walk away, and nobody but bentot saw. The person who made that bag put in their time and effort, and the bag stolen just as easy as that.
I can shove a massive pin in the leather behind and make it a broach.
Or i could clip it to my scarf to keep it around my neck during winter.
i like versatile and beautiful things. who doesn't?
I also bought my 2nd pair of happy pants for $25. These ones are different to my 1st pair, they are brightly coloured and made of a silky material where as the other is made of a calico material. I understand happy pants aren't for everyone, but no one can disagree as to how comfortable they are. And don't diss them until you tried them.
My Happy Pants make me feel Happy
even when people look at me like im crazy =]
I remember the my mate Paulo would tell me, when he saw me wearing happy pants, 'you need to give those pants back to MC Hammer'. hahah shut up. hopefully ill be brave enough to wear them tmrw =]
I have just read phuong's blog on xanga. she has said i have given her an urge to shop, probably because of my posts about my shoes from sydney. I can't believe that kmart are selling $1.75 Rimmel Nail polishes. Do they have black? because i want black. ive got too many nail polishes already, i should finishes the ones i have before i acquire new ones. the same goes for my makeup. buying makeup is so addictive especially when they are so cheap! Groove and Ice Accessories for coloured eye make up and lip gloss and Rimmel for mascara.
Tmrw i must go to kmart anyway. The kmart advertisements from my mail box are so seductive. yes, seductive. kmart have improved their advertising and their clothing so much so, i thought it was a target catalogue. I'm gonna list a few of these bargain items off the top of my head for phuong to hear.
- Cute ankle boots for $15 (thats $1 more than phuongs bronzer)
- Grey blazer for $40 (since this is so cheap i gotta check out bcoz its too good to be true)
- Black tailored sequence blazer $40
- Long racer black baggy singlets $19
- Grey skinny jeans $29
- Old school demin button up shirt $29
- Long knitted vest with hood $29 (very pussycat doll type)
- leppord print leggings $15
- Tie Die jeans $29
wow. off to go and spend some more.
