We've exchanged e-mail messages since then. @Jojo: Thanks hun! Your words of wisdom helped me through my grieving process when the bf was being a jerk ignoring me. I appreciate your sweet lil note and the freebies.

DIY Project Stud Crazeee Update

I finally got done studding the white blazer that I got from yesstyle.com. Sorry, I wasn't able to take a before photo because I was so excited to get my stud on! My order also came with this super cute clear bear dangling earrings. Free with any purchase of "Cherry Girl" brand item... Now back to studding. I was going to use the hotfix nailheads but ended up using the real pyramid square studs (with prongs in the back) to make it look more like the real thing. Whew! It took me about 5 hours to do it but ofcourse with breaks here and there. My hands hurt after but it was all worth it. I'm so proud of myself ;) Up close Tools of the trade

• White blazer/jacket (leather material preferably)
• 3/8 inch pyramid square studs (approx. 320 studs depending on the size of your blazer) which can be purchased from ebay, studsandspikes.com, or spikesandleather.com
• Jewelry/needle nose pliers/butter knife

I find it hard to do a tutorial so check out these instructional vids from youtube... Another studding project I finished over the weekend... I saw this design online but it doesn't say what brand. I like it though. Tools of the trade

• Black blazer (I got mine from Forever 21 for $29.80 + tax)
• Hotfix 7mm silver nailhead squares from ebay
• Hotfix applicator wand

Check out my previous post for hotfix application instructions. Up close Notice the Forever 21 tag still on lol! My weekend went by so fast. Did I mention I'm going to be the Maid of Honor (more like "Maid of Horror" lol!) for my friend's wedding on May 2010? Gotta plan the bridal shower and bachelorette's party soon. I'm so nervous about giving a speech/toast since I'm not good in public speaking. I already got my dress but it's a little tight on the waist. Might have a wardrobe malfunction on the day of so I need to be serious about losing weight. I should since I have enough time before the wedding. I swear after the holidays, I'll be back on track. Have a great week ahead of you all! ***

Balmain-Inspired Blazer/Jacket Update

Hey luvlies! The Balmain-inspired blazer/jacket from Korea that I mentioned on my previous post arrived today. The power shoulders are not as 'strong' or prominent as I expected which turned out to be good because it would look weird on me since I'm not as skinny as those friggin models. Click photo to enlarge I actually like the fitting on my broad shoulders and the length on my short frame. It fits better than the Forever21 boyfriend blazers I've tried on. What do you guys think honestly? Is it worth the $65? The seller also included this yummy Korean candy that taste like Starburst but even better coz it doesn't stick to your gums heheh! I'm still on the hunt for the white blazer that I'm going to use for studding. I didn't like the boyfriend blazer from Macy's online which was too big and too soft material. I want a 'crisp' blazer. I got one on yesstyle.com but it's still in transit. Notice that it's only 3/4 sleeves but it will do...I guess. Use promo code 'TWITTER5' for $5 off your yesstyle.com order. Click photo to enlarge Btw, I haven't done my X'mas shopping coz I'm still waiting to get paid on the 15th. I hope I'll have enough. Darn those bills! ***
