THE REPLIED (HQ)

well,
im not actually being sarcastic or whatever that thought so. im not searching for the answer, i was looking for the question !!! so, what on earth you thought you are ? "am-i-wrong", and all that stuff which were very embarrasing, i just let myself through out up to this matter, but you know, im not the one who had an opinion. its u ! wake up my dear. theres no more 'awak-kite', no more 'playing with barbie doll'. just grow up then.

my dad always told me that everbody on this earth are not that good in friendship. well, i guessed its true. it was really true !! i'm tired of waiting the bla-bla matter which u're gonna say then. i'm tired to be nice at every distance of figures. and sometimes i'd been tired of talking to others with that lacks of confident that i always suffer on. it was because of u, u know !!!!

forgiveness is the easiest way of solving every problem. but u know, what he'd been suffer on after that ? just god only knew that. are u gonna say i'm a bitch ? well, i say before u, I AM A BITCH !!! i would say no after this to everyone. with the smile that i always been on to cheer up people was just worthless ! i repeat ; WORTHLESS ! u got it !

been a way from time was  a waste, im not gonna be such an idiot. who cares what u'd said just then, it only words that described the elements. i never had good friends, i keep searching it till death ! but now i'm tired of searching it. come on la. i surrender up to that. i like myself to be alone, but sometimes i need friends to talk with. this feeling is undefined ! it would never ends, and thats im gonna faced la. x(

i'll keep saying to myself ; " tomorrow is better than yesterday "
i'll keep holding the sentence till now !

im sorry if u're in trouble

How did you come up with the name of your blog My blog title was inspired by a movie staring Angelina Jolie called Life or Something Like It. I wanted to start a blog about things pertaining to my life. My blog contains writing, pictures, lyrics, youtube videos, and quotes about life, relationships, music, education, photography, fashion, art, and traveling – basically anything and everything that interest me but most importantly, things I’m passionate about. When were you introduced to fashion I can’t exactly pinpoint when I was first introduced to fashion. As a little girl and even in my teen years, I loved shopping for clothes. But as I grew older, I realize that fashion is about style and not so much about clothes, trends, brand names, how good or bad I look, and what others think. I’ve always been interested in fashion but I haven’t always been fashionable. But my fashion sense and style continues to develop and evolve the older I get.
How do you describe your style Basic... Colorful... Romantic... Glam... Sophisticated... What made you start a fashion blog I wouldn’t say I have a fashion blog. It’s an aspect of my life that I love to blog about but my blog isn’t limited to just fashion. But I was inspired to start blogging about fashion by my good and dear friend, Lily bleedforfashion. She opened me up to the world of fashion blogs and it really inspired me to post my own outfit pictures. I started blogging about fashion in late July of this year. What do you think you bring to the fashion blog world I think I bring a sense of simplicity. I like to keep my outfits fairly simple and I like to create outfits with only a few basic items. You don’t need a lot in order to look good. I think the key is accessorizing your outfits with shoes, bags, scarves, gloves, earrings, bracelets, rings, and necklaces. The simplest touch can add a lot to any outfit even if you’re just wearing jeans and a t-shirt. How is your style different than everyone else I think everyone is different and therefore, everyone has different style. I try and buy unique pieces that suit my personal style and personality. I like keeping up with the trends but I don’t like looking like everyone else so it's important that I add my own twist and spin to each outfit to make it my own. Who is your inspiration
Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City. I like her style because it’s very classy, fun, outrageous, trendy, feminine, and effortless. What impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog Dress to impress yourself and not others. I think it’s important to feel good and comfortable in what you wear. Have fun with fashion and try out new trends. You can’t be bothered by what others have to say otherwise your style becomes compromised and limited. Fashion should not be kept in a box of what you can and cannot wear. For me, what I wear reflects my personality, my style, and my creativity just as much as everything else I blog about, and I hope that others can see a little bit of who I am from reading my blog. Who is your favorite designer I don’t exactly wear designer clothing however I really like ready-to-wear runway collections by Lanvin, YSL, and D&G. What piece is a must have in your closet A scarf. I wear it everyday during the fall and winter season, and sometimes during the cold summer mornings.

I hope every one had a great Holiday...i had a lovely time with family and friends...joy, peace and love, until it was time to have my li' man put on his clothes. Heaving a hyper nine year old try on multiple outfits is slow torture... Moving, jumping sliding, flipping, all while Sponge Bob's theme song plays in the back ground... it's worse than pulling teeth...

Lots of shopping news!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I've been gone so long. But I come bearing lots of good news (and lots of text), including a sweepstakes!

First off, I hope you all have had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday. And if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a great week anyway.

So, down to business. I have a link from ShopIntuition.com to a "secret" landing page. On this page, you can enter a sweepstakes for a $100 gift card for the website!

When I first wrote about De*Nada and its designer, Virginia Arrisueno, I mentioned that the store was soon to open. So tomorrow, November 30, go to denadadesign.com and check out the entire Autumn and Winter '09 collections. Best part of it? They ship worldwide!! Happy shopping!

העומס בלימודים גדל מיום ליום ועל אף הרצון העז שלי לעדכן לעתים קרובות יותר אני פשוט לא מספיקה. אני קמה השכם בבוקר, הרבה לפני השעה בה אני צריכה לצאת מהבית (וזאת מפני שלוקח לי המון זמן להתארגן בבוקר) אל עוד יום לימודים מפרך. הלימודים מאוד מאוד אינטנסיביים, לעתים אני נהנת יותר ולעתים פחות אך מה שבטוח הוא שהימים מלאים באתגרים ולא רק כאלו הקשורים בתפירה, באיור או בעיצוב אלא גם הרבה מאוד אתגרים הקשורים בתכנון זמן ובהתמודדות עם לחץ וביקורת.
מעניין לראות את האנשים הסובבים אותי ואת התמודדותם עם אותם אתגרים, התגובות של כל אחד לאותם מצבים הם כל כך שונות, מה שקל לאחד קשה מנשוא עבור אחר ומה שמשעשע מישהו גורם לזה שלידו לפרוץ בבכי. כנראה שהכל תלוי בעיני המתבונן ובנקודת המבט. הדרמות הקטנות שמתחוללות בכל יום בלימודים הן הרי כלום לעומת הדרמות של החיים האמיתיים ולכן חשוב לשמור על פרופורציות, להרים מדי פעם את העיניים מהדף הקטן בו ממוקדות עינינו ולזכור שהדברים אינם רק שחור ולבן.

You can help Flutter fulfill her footwear dreams by doing some shopping at Flowey Poses.

StyleCard: On My Tiny Toes

I have to admit this one was a bit of a challenge for me, I have serious affection for footwear that has realistic proportion and photorealstic texturing, that I rarely step into shoes like the ones created by 2408 Alekseev of 24Shoo Shoes. The best way for me to classify the Wow! No. 19 shoe is fantasy, or surreality, they distort the foot somewhere reminiscent of Chinese foot binding. They are constructed of loops and florettes of plastic with barely a heel to speak of, and they wrap a very unique and dainty foot on a float of sculpted platform.

The design is meant to extend the leg, and since I have always prided my avatar as having a sexy leg without any external help, perhaps the super slim leg and petite foot were not really designed with me in mind. If however you are a fan of the trend for SL fashion models to have legs set to 100 and next to no body fat then these are likely a very elegant and soaring slice of fashion well suited to you. Visit 24Shoo Shoes at Expo or the Main Store to see more!

The stuff;

Shoes: 24Shoo Shoes, Wow! No.19, Black.

Skin: Belleza, Jesse Sunkiss, 1 HB.

Hair: DejaVu, Mademoiselle, Black (hand tinted bands).

Dress: Beauty Avatar, Bayonne Dress.

Accessories: UZURI, Zamani, Silver Bangle. & Creamshop, Glam Earrings, Red.

StyleCard: A Little Bit of Heart & Sole

Footwear Expo is host to shoe designers of all types and experience, another name that was new-to-me is that of Heart & Sole, which boasts a collection of sexy sandals and strappy concoctions that have some nice touches of detail. Designer Bijoux Lefavre has a number of fun shoes at Expo, I am focusing on two of them, the Broken and Drops styles, both are foot-in-shoe sandals. The Broken shoes look simple at first glance, but the dangling broken heart charm on a delicate pewter chain add interest and a hint of back story. They are available in a number of colors and as a fatpack.


Heart & Sole proudly promises reasonable prices on their footwear, and they deliver, the Drops shoes have the look of a decadent jewel embellished sandal but the ticket price is very affordable. Pulled together with linked pieces of leather, the shoe has a pair of dangling jewels on chains that have a slight glimmer from the texture change gems. Visit Heart & Sole at Expo or at the main store location to see more!

The stuff;

Look 1 -

Shoes: Heart & Sole, Broken, Purple.

Skin: Curio, June - Sundust FREX, Dark Allium 2.

Hair: DP Yum Yum, BarberYumYum 19, Brown.

Outfit: Bijou, Nightmare, Dark Purple.

StyleCard:C'est Magnifico!

New to me designer Magnifico Miggins of Magnifico Shoes offers up some great styles at Footwear Expo. Taking a closer look at two of them, the Cage Boots and the Envy Boots, reveals some nice design and great bold color. The Cage Boots have a fetish meets fashion feel to them, and come complete with a prim foot inside these open leather weave boots. Available in multiple colors or fatpack with color change HUD.


The Envy Boots fall into the oh-so-popular knee high boot category, with very detailed crinkled polished leather calves. Also available in some bold bright colors, and full color set, these are equally nice in monochromatic grey or black. Visit Magnifico at Footwear Expo or at their Main Location!

how did you come up with the name of your blog we were arguing for hours after deciding to start blogging together because we couldn't agree on a name. eventually we chose xvii for some weird reason we still don't know... when where you introduced to fashion i don't think we have been yet. we are still uncertain what fashion is. but we like to believe that fashion is whatever you consider fashion to be. how do you describe your styles i guess it's a mix of preppy and trashy. we love random combination's of clothes that most people find ugly, and also clothes that still don't make sense after looking at them forever.

what made you start a fashion blog well, we wouldn't say it's a fashion blog. the reason we started to blog was because we love to take photos (and also to pose, lol) and we wanted a place where we could show our photos. another reason was because we had too much time and very few plans. what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world hopefully more than other fashion blogs dohow is your style different than everyone else it's not. but it is not similar to everyone elses either. who is your inspiration ugly clothes on pretty people (not necessarily obvious prettiness but pretty as in having something extraordinary) what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog we want them to have the same feeling as when you first realize you have a crush, you know..? how is your favorite designer don't have one. designer clothes often become tedious because of the hype. we like second hand clothes better.

what piece is a must have in your closet
a pair of good tights. was that a bad answer? haha. but no, all of our clothes are must haves. one thing we would have a hard time living without is our docs. so i guess that's a must have in our closet.

StyleCard: G Field at Footwear Expo

I have to admit to a little bit of boot love for G Field. Designer Cerberus Noel has offered up two completely new styles for the fair, one of which is the Long Fur Cuff Boot, a boot which I admit I thought was cute on the vendor, but once I got it on it was much much more. It seems to be a perfect combination of soft scrunched suede and fluffy fur topper, accented with a delicate wisp of ribbon. The boot sits on a great chunky platform sole, and is available in a number of color choices.


Not a new release, but newly released in this fun houndstooth pattern, the Figure Pumps, also from G Field, are a classic looking little pump. I really love the little knotted bow on the toe and other smart details. These are very affordable and well worth grabbing a pair (or two). Visit G Field at the Footwear Expo to see all the available colors and patterns. Also keep an eye out for an additional new release, a Ribbon Slingback!

StyleCard: Double Dose of Nardcotix

Nardcotix has a number of releases planned for the Footwear Expo, here are two, the Cerra Booties and the Eva Slingbacks. Nardya Rousselot has certainly been busy getting these ready for us, she has a great sensibility for making the type of shoes I would happily wear in first life! The Cerra Booties for example are an ankle height boot in rich leather with the addition of studs and zippers to give them a bit of spirit. Ever practical Nardya offers up this boot with multiple wear options to accommodate pant legs, or spare an attachment point.


The Eva Slingback is a great retro shoe updated in several attractive snakeskin options. The shoe is set upon a stacked wood heel and buckles attractively at the ankle. The real charm of this otherwise classically styled shoe is the sculpted bow wrap of the toe, another really special must have sort of shoe that bares an exotic mix of texture and practical style!

Find both of these styles and more at Footwear Expo, and later at the Nardcotix Main Store.
