"Having Guts" means having grace under pressure

A graceful taunt is worth a thousand insults. 


When i was very little (not height wise because that i still am : | ) i had always wanted to go to a 'Finishing School,' having read about it in one of my silly romantic comics. Since then i have been obsessively searching for the elusive graceful ness in myself. Though the effort was abandoned momentarily during my Senior school days, i have resumed my search again.
i keep fantasising about having a classy, romantic high tea with my swain (LOL) with white lace tablecloths and  cream brocade table mats and daintily eating baby blue colored cupcakes *Sigh*
Anyway back to reality, the epitome of grace is, for me, a ballet dance. Everything about a ballerina is just so...so PERFECT.
Ballerinas have long been my icons much before 'Black Swan.' So, i am very pleased with the current raging hairstyle trend...you guessed it...BALLERINA BUN!
Though somehow i could never pursue ballet lessons, i can for sure ape the hair. Not to mention if my ballet dream was fulfilled, i probably would have been the fattest ballerina in the world.

Nevertheless, a little bit of mousse and a cute hair clip is all it takes. The makeup has to be dewy,  really natural looking (YES we DO NEED makeup for the 'natural look'), just a little lip stain and blush.  So here is my attempt at the look. A little messy courtesy the hair that just don't grow long soon enough : /

DIY: Ripped sneakers

Indian summer sun is harsh...very. And as much as i want to wear my flip-flops and other airy, open-toed sandals, i cannot because of a ugly 'V' shaped tanning on my feet. Its too hot and humid to wear sneakers.
So the perfect solution? Is DIY time *__*

Ripped sneakers




  

You will need:

• A pair of shoes (i have used my hi-top keds, ankle length would do fine too)
• A pair of sharp scissor
• A knife (Caution: My knife is really old and rusted, please use a unrusted one. Me, i like to live life on the edge, lol jk, i couldn't find any other knife : / )

 It is really simple, all you have to do is rip your sneaker horizontally or vertically  with a knife wherever you want. I have made horizontal ripped pattern near the ankle all the way to the end. To define the rips, use the scissor to make the gashes more noticeable and broader.

Result:
