Saturday Favorites 022

Finishing last few items for the 8th collection to be out next week. Here is a preview:

These three below are made-to-order. 

I'm hooked on these shows! I mentioned here once that I am a fan of the PLL series, which I had been watching since it came out. The Lying Game and Ringer are not really new shows. They were shown in the US last year. I got to see a trailer of both shows on TV and I was interested. Jane by Design and Girls are a bit new. It was my cousin who told me about Jane by Design while I saw a newspaper article about Girls, when the writer expressed how she can relate to the characters.

I must say, the show Girls is funny. Although some scenes might not be applicable to our culture and may find it offensive for some, it gives you a sense of reality that this is what's going on to girls who are transitioning to the adult life. They keep on figuring out what they want, how would they accomplish or achieve what they want. It also tackles about relationships and sex. It's a light mini-series that can actually remind you of the Sex and the City minus the glamour and more of a real-life setting. The characters from Girls are young and are just starting their own lives so I think anyone in their 20s can somehow relate.

1. Arm Party

I've been seeing it for quite sometime now. I've been doing it for quite sometime, too. But I never knew until recently that it is now called "Arm Party." 

I saw an article about this through Chictopia. It was Man Repeller, one of my favorite bloggers, who coined the term! Check out more of her arm party stories HERE and HERE. Do check out also Refinery29's best-dressed wrist list and Bloggers Do It Better: Arm Party challenge for overload of photos and ideas!

Speaking of arm party, I've seen soooo many friendship bracelets lately and I love it! Our favorite childhood accessory is making a comeback! There are still those classic, woven or braided or beaded ones. There are modernized versions which are studded, shiny ones. There are cheap ones and expensive ones, too! I used to make those until high school. I had actually bought lots of wax cords for that a few months back. They are still unused since all I could remember was the no-brainer braid techinique! I'm going to learn the other techniques again and make myself some friendship bracelets! (It'll be a good DIY entry, too!)

2. My boss wasn't around for three days.

'NUFF SAID. :D

3. Hair

I happened to see a link leading to her blog through Tumblr. I saw videos and photos of interesting and easy hairstyles that she did. One of these days, I'll try doing them on my hair. :)

4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and City Hunter

Currently reading and watching, respectively. :) I'm on Chapter 2 for both (I should be STRICTLY watching one episode and reading one chapter per night ON WEEKDAYS.). I'm hooked! I gotta say, I missed reading and watching Koreanovela (one of my cheap thrills in life)! Haha!

5. Lovin' my memo board! :)

6. Recent haul: Purple cropped blazer and coral shorts with laser-cut details
(The color of the blazer might seem blue-ish but its purple.)
