RIP, Brittany

RIP, Brittany Murphy

November 10, 1977 – December 20, 2009

Seeing this piece of news on Yahoo! yesterday, I was in shock to see that a beautiful, talented young actress like Brittany, has just passed away at the age of 32 due to cardiac arrest.

Loving her movies like The Ramen Girl, Uptown Girls, Clueless, and Happy Feet.

Seeing Micheal Jackson's death and also, Brittany's, it has taught me a lot about living life. Somehow, Kris Allen's song "Live Like You're Dying", makes a lot of sense to me. It's like a wake up call. I mean, I may be young, but who knows when we're leaving Earth, right?

*sigh. Sometimes, we just gotta appreciate what we have before they are gone.

Personally, I have grown up a lot last year and this year. I've learnt that the world is a tough place to live in.

I bet some of you have had your tough times. It may be family problems, problems with your other half, break ups, peer pressure, studies, etc. and honestly, it is definitely tough to go through them.

My advice to you guys? Don't give up hoping for the best to come. Think positive. No matter how tough life brings, we should try living it up to the fullest. If somebody has said something or done something that has hurt you, forgive. I mean, who knows right anything can happen?

Well, if you have did something wrong and have lost something and regret losing it, realise your mistakes, do not give up, and change your ways. Who knows, you might get back the thing you lost again?

Hey, positivity does help.
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade out of it.

Anyway, all I'm saying is, appreciate life. Live life like you're dying. We do not know what will happen tomorrow.

*

Lastly, rest in peace, Brittany.

All I Want For Christmas Is.. (10 Things I LOVE Tis' Season!)

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Tis the season to be jolly.. ;)

Yeah, you get my catch. As Christmas is SO near by, I've decided to list out a number of cool trends / must-haves in every girl's wardrobe!

A slight note : You GOT to have at least ONE piece in your wardrobe! :D

I know I have!

#1 : Metallics
Yes, metallics are hot! Be it tops, dresses, pants, skirts, ..anything you can think of, metallics are the new alternative for babes who are tired of sequins and want something similar! ;)

Even our friends in Hollywood are in love with metallics!

Isn't her metallic dress just hot?!

Grab your own metallic top now! I love how its gold dots shines
with the black background. :)
From What's Your Flavor? , you can get this top at RM28, paired with a pair of skinny jeans or tights. Woots!

#2 : Outfits with shoulder pads

Yes, shoulder pads may look funny at times, but a little of shoulder pads on dresses/ tops may do wonders. Even celebrities like Blake and Katy love shoulder pads!

Grab this hot puffy shoulder pad sleeves dress from stitch!
I love the pattern on the sleeves!
It's yours at RM58!

#3 : Studs
Omg yesss! You might not believe your eyes, but yes, studs are still HOT HOT HOT!
For rocker chics, studs are a definite must-have. Check out Taylor Momsen!
Now that's hot!

Pixie looks really retro-glam in this studs dress!
Loving this studs dress!
Just check out the details!
Love the toga too!
At RM55, you can grab this dress from Phelauwer boutique!

#4 : Leopard prints

I always find leopard prints hot. They are perfect for partying and casual outings.

Even celebrities like Kate Moss look really hot in them!

Instead of leopard dresses, bags or tops, why not opt for something else..like leopard hairbands/ leopard print hair pins? :)

This leopard printed headband from Our Beauty Diary costs RM18 and I find it a unique alternative to the usual flower/hat headbands found almost everywhere nowadays. Hooray to leopard prints!

#5 : Masquerades

Oooh, I love masquerade balls. I especially love it when everyone has to take it off when the clock strikes 12! Cinderella style, if you ask me. Loves it!

...and I'm especially confident that, in this season of giving, certain Christmas parties would funk it up with a masquerade theme! It's gonna be exciting!

I totally love these Gossip Girl masquerades. Lovely!

Omg! These masquerades are almost like the ones Taylor Momsen is wearing on the picture above, can?!

Loves them!

Now you can own your own Gossip Girl inspired masks too, from Our Beauty Diary, at RM25 each!

#6 : Liquid leather leggings

It's all about legs! Show them off with a pair of liquid leather leggings!
Celebrities in Hollywood are caught up with the liquid leggings bug too!

Check out Miley and Vanessa! Loves them!
Now you can own a pair of liquid leather leggings too! What's more, with leopard prints on it!
Wild! ;)
At RM35 each, you can grab them from blackmilkproject! Yippeee!
If you are ALREADY stacked up with black liquid leather leggings, I'd like to suggest you go on with colourful ones! And by colourful ones, I meant blue, green, red, gold, silver leggings! (NOT rainbow coloured please. That's too much.)
#7 : Togas
I am so gearing up in toga dresses this Christmas!
They are so HOT!

Celebrities like Jennifer Love Hewitt look really stunning in togas. ;)This toga dress just spells hot and is perfect for a sexy siren! :)

I find these unique! Loves the rose beads! :)
