HAPPY NEW YEAR, LOVELIES!
It’s the first day of the first month of 2012, and in about three weeks’ time, we’ll be celebrating the Lunar New Year. :) I hope you’re enjoying the holiday!
By the way, I’m so happy to read all your messages and compliments on the new blog graphics! I updated the header, sidebar and background; I call this a more “sophisticated” take on my favourite things. As mentioned here, I have been wanting a coral, navy and mustard theme. I worked on the graphics with the three colours in mind, and it just happens that my favourite things fit very well into the colour scheme. I switched the striped background for houndstooth – one of my favourite patterns. I still love stripes, though – as you can see from my contact graphic. :)
To prepare for the New Year, I have been trying to destash as much as I can since sometime towards the end of last year – I desperately need space in my wardrobe, and room for walking!
During the destashing exercise, I also discovered forgotten gems, one of which is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Key Pouch. This precious thing has been sitting in my wardrobe for a while - never got the chance to use it! Wrapper, tag, box intact. Ah well. Such a beauty!
Made of sturdy yet buttery soft black leather and adorned with matte gold hardware, the Totally Turnlock Key Pouch is a great staple item to have.
To kickstart the year, I am giving this recovered gem to one of you. See, this blog has slowly evolved (and is continuing to evolve) to include topics other than beauty – fashion, lifestyle, and more to come. What better way to celebrate this evolution than holding a fashion-related giveaway? This is it!
