Save Money, Spend Wisely

Ola humans!!!!!! :D It's raining here in KL and if You are a Malaysian and You are reading right now, I feel sad, You feel sad, because Malaysia's 13th General Elections is the dirtiest election so far. OMG foreign readers You should really have a look on it, I am not here to criticize the country or whatsoever, but really, I somehow feel ashame because the current party do whatever it takes to win the election and become the government :0 
TOTALLY SPEECHLESS 

Anyway, this post is about shop wisely so humans, let's not get our mood spoiled :) 
Saving money is basically the 2nd most important achievement in my life since I have only myr300 per month from my mom :0 I'm a college students and I spend most of my money on transportation and food. Things in Malaysia are getting more expensive and I am struggling to save money >< So few days ago I came out a few ways for myself to save money, starting from SHOPPING. 

1. ALWAYS COMPARE 
If You want a dress, and there are a few stores selling the same dress, do compare the price of the dress between those stores. This may sound a lil HOUSEWIFE style but let's be frank, who don't wanna get a nice good with the lowest price?? :) 

2. SALE SALE SALE 
I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you guys to do shopping during SALE, especially those big retail stores such as H&M, Topshop, Uniqlo, F21 and so on. Imagine, getting those branded pieces in a very cheap price and basically, nobody will notice you bought it during salestime. :D That is why I LOVE SALE  

3. DIY 
I realize that some of the fashion pieces are so short, so simple that we actually can modify with our own clothes, all by ourselves. I used to hate DIY, because I thought it's a waste of time and why not just buy a new one :/ I'M SO CHILDISH >< Let's take cropped top for example, I can just cut and sew my old T-shirt. It save my wallet and brings new life to my old clothes~ Why not~♥ 

4. COUPONS AND VOUCHERS 
People out there with tons of coupons and vouchers, PLEASE USE THEM!!!!!! I'm that kind of person who loves coupons and vouchers and recently I watch a reality show call 'Extreme Couponers', they really inspire me a lot on saving money and the importance of money...... and COUPONS...... and VOUCHERS.
 

 The photo below shows that what I wear are all bargain goods that I got from online stores and some retail stores. Don't call me a cheapskate because even the Nike sneakers, I got it only myr199 (original price myr299). The knitted top, jeans shorts and the cap all add up is not even myr100!!!!!!


Plus, I really wanna emphasize on the white shirt. It's from H&M, the quality is beyond good, and it only cost myr39.90!!!!!! I actually feel proud of myself for getting this piece at H&M Boys Section =X Sometimes, I rather shop at the Kids section, the size fits me, the designs are not bad, and most importantly, CHEAPER THAN THE ADULT PIECES.
Being petite is not so bad after all 

So there you go guys, my ways of saving money during shopping. For some of you may thought that I am such a cheapskate on money but I am proud of myself because I'm saving money :) I'm not ashame, if there's any sponsors out there willing ti give me one big stack of H&M coupons, I'm not afraid to use it :p

Floral Crown 101

Hey guys how are ya? :D 
I'm back again as the reason why I din't update my blog is because I am lazy againnnnnn :p 
Plus I was busy with my internship stuff but fear not, I finished my intership!!!!!! :D YAY~~~~~~ 
And I can finally commit into my blog~ 
So I saw a lot of people are CRAZEE about flowers lately, flower dress, flower shorts, flower tops, flower accessories, FLOWER FLOWER FLOWER. And me myself, of course, fall for flowers~ So here's a tutorial to share with you guys out there on How to make Floral Crown~ 

So, this is my homemade floral crown and a floral bracelet. 

I use these small flowers with wire stem to bend and twist and connect with each other to make it into a big loop. So this is the wire flowers I used. It's pink actually, dark pink.
 
So first, overlap two stick of the wire flowers. The key point is one of the flowers must be placed slightly higher than the other one, like the picture below. 

 Next, You just gotta twist it!! 

 Placed the third flower accordingly and start twisting it. 

See what I mean??

Repeat the steps above and keep twisting until You feel it's ready to wear. But remember, measure or try it on with Your head or wrist from time to time to see whether it fits or not. 

If it fits, make a small hook at one of the end of your crown or bracelet.

And hook it at the other end!! 
 
 It's on My wrist......

Ta*Da!!!!!! Homemade floral bracelet!!!!!! :D 

If You ask me is this wearable, I can asure You YES, IT IS WEARABLE :D Check out My Instagram~ I take a photo with it :D It's perfect for a sweet lovely date with Your boyfriend or even a girly outing with Your BFFs~ Do try it out and leave me a comment whether You like it or not~ :D 


Oh, and one more thing, choose Your flower wisely, if not it will end up as a mistletoe :0
