Behind Fleurs

In collaboration with my girl, Denise, from Down The Yellow Brick  , we're a college theme posts so look out for them. We are revving to blog and we hope you enjoy them despite being so off the radar due to life and school. But let's get started. To be specific, I take A-level Science here in Kota Kinabalu and we have to wear a school shirt as a uniform. Aside from that though their is very free rein on pants and clothes. Its not really college per say but its still considered Pre-University so I still understand what kind of clothes you needed to get through the semester. Though the outfits you see here aren't my daily wear to school but I got some approvals from friends who go to college and managed to style up some looks based on general dress codes you may face at your college or university. Hence it's all very doable. This would be my first outfit post so I'm a complete amateur at this and at being the model for once as I don't feel I am at all photogen...

My friend, Fran (imagine the puns made with her name), and I had conducted couple of photo shoots since last year. Last Saturday was our third shoot till a long time considering we are all mostly likely gonna be busy for a while since graduating form high school. It's also by far the best I had, even considering that our only cameras were her sister's iPhone 4 and my Sony Xperia Z2. Quick note on my smartphone: I wanted to find one with the best camera and this totally fit my criteria of the perfect camera.

For this shoot, we went for a minimalist grunge as the theme. For once we went for something really simple but not understated at all. In their basic apparels, the models, Cristy (left) and Chan Yng (right), wore delicate necklaces and rings provided by me. They shine ...

Few months back I had made my own lipstick and the next thing I felt like doing was a flower crown. Yes, they were quite the huge trend among teenagers, particularly in the US where it was concerts season and flower crowns were the norm to wear. I don't know where those girls got there flower crowns but I was really hooked to getting one when I watch this youtube video by Forever21 who upload a couple of DIY tutorials. I thought it was pretty easy and I knew which stores to get the materials and thankfully also have a friend who diys for cosplaying. So I manage to borrow some wires and a glue gun from her and it just made things easier for me. Things needed: - Glue gun - Fake flowers (try get detachable ones) - Felt material (preferably green coloured, though any color can do really) - Some thin bendable wires - Scissors Image: Wires, Felt material and Fake Detachable Flowers This isn't a tutorial so this is gonna be simple and brief. So I measured m...
