Fooling around with Photoshop and plug-ins...

Nothing major actually. Clearly I need more practice.

It's the Topaz Simplify. I chose the watercolor effect. I find it cute, although I don't think I would be using these for work. Just for kicks I spent an afternoon tinkering with the controls...

The left photo is the original photoshopped image. The right photo is "watercolored"...

Make up looks good, creamy. But the chain details have disappeared.

You may recognize the photograph from the spring make up entry I did months back.

Like I said...

more practice please. ahihihi...

We did an impromptu nail polish shoppin' yesterday after dinner with my sis-in-law.

We usually take such a long long time in deciding which color to take. As you know, the color that appears on the bottle isn't usually how it will go on your nails.

The kiddos had this brilliant idea of testing out the colors on their nails! Different colors on each finger!!!

(why I didnt think of that before, I have no idea...hehehe)

Imagine that...

We did 21 colors total!!! One being on my nails. The girls had their fave and I had mine.

Nope we didn't cut short the decision making time. In fact, we took longer!!!

We were just having too much fun with them different colors!

We got 5 shades in all.

They wanted the sky blue first for this week.

I'm wearing what we like to call the sparkly midnight blue.

I love sparkly polishes!!!

(All polishes from The Face Shop)

Allow me to cut thru the Hong Kong series I have started.

FOR THIS!!!

What more can be said?

The Rajo Laurel once again teams up with Plains & Prints for its spring/summer 2011 collection!

March 11, 2011 we all march to the shops to us some serious colors!!!

Don't you just love?

Perfect-ness.

The forecasts are out!

COLORS are in!

Well, for spring anyway. Let's just pull some spring a bit earlier this year now, shall we?

Ahihihi...

Coz only I'm pretty excited about this afternoon's wedding at the beach!

The tiger print bag was a steal. Believe me, I didn't even get it at a thrift shop!

I had always been so excited to wear the (faux) pearl cocktail ring which a lovely neice gave to me for breakfast. Well, I wear it almost all the time, even during trips to the grocery. Coz I just love it!

Originally, it was just going to be the blue long dress. But it's been a week now that the wind's been blowing cooler than usual. Therefore the Egyptian shawl comes along to the party...

I honestly forgot all about these pair of heels I bought last year. For something that has been sitting quietly in the closet for half the year, it is pretty 'up to the times' looking eh?

It's a beach wedding. I hope the reception is at a cozy concrete space or Im going to be tiptoeing on those soft beach sand just so those heels dont get buried. Hehehehe...

Off we go!

I do hope to get a shot of the whole ensemble on site later.

Have a fun night everyone!!!
