Pretty Pastels

My lanterns, that is. 

They are now in pink and mint. And absolutely pretty! 

To recap, this is one of the lanterns in its original colour. Blue. Equals bleh. 



Before giving them their final colours, I coat them with white paint first. I would have used a primer but the hardware store that I went to didn't have any. So I figured white spray paint would do. And it did. 



I only did one coat of white paint on the lanterns and it did the job pretty well. I then spray painted the white-out lanterns in pink and mint, giving them 2-3 even coats per lantern. 


And here they are in their new pretty colours! I am absolutely in love with them. Seriously, was grinning like an idiot all week! 

I am especially in love with the mint one. Ahh, too pretty! 

Originally, I wanted them for the balcony, but because they're oh-too-pretty, I placed them in the living room instead. 

Already used them on one of our "date-nights-at-home"! 




Beautiful, aren't they? 

Ahh, the things I love these days.

Fashion Styles: Blouse

If you have been following me on this blog, you’d probably know that I’m such a girly girl. I just love being a girl. Seriously, what’s not to love? We have the best in fashion.

The “Clueless” inspired fashion; checkered pants, preppy blouses and small furry backpacks, short dresses with platforms ala Baby Spice and so much more. But, as I grow older, I stuck to a classic and simple style. My husband loves it when I’m dressed in a simple skinny jeans/pants and blouse . And that has been my staple since I got married. I admit – I would love to be more adventurous in my styles (like in my younger days) but I don’t think my husband can tolerate that. Lol. Over the years of experimenting, I have learned what’s good on me and what’s not, what I like and what I dislike. I prefer blouses; smart casual mostly to cotton tshirts. After tur...

#prayformh370

Tonight, we mourn for the loss of those on board MH370. Tonight, we cry with the families. We have been hopeful. We had prayed for a different ending. But, Allah knows best. " It is He Who gives Life and Death; and when He decides upon an affair, He says to it, "Be", and it is." (40:68) May God grants peace to those who perished and may God ease the burden of those carrying this terrible heartache. Ameen ya Rabb.

Glitch

If you see that my blog is looking a bit wonky, that's because stupid me did it! I deleted some of my photos on my Google drive which are on this blog and now it's all gone. Am working on fixing this glitch. Just bear with me, please.  Thank you and see you with hopefully a new look!
