tuesday

sometimes i wonder if i will ever get tired of just being inspired and when will i get back to actually 'making' but i shouldn't worry myself with that and enjoy the present, another kind of 'making' that i still need to improve on.

i crave for exercise endorphins, doing many many bench presses gives me a kick. this week i will plan a long long run at the beach, maybe a cycle, and lots of swimming.

meanwhile, korea? spain? vietnam? i need to take time to plan for a holiday to somewhere soon, within reasonable means of course. nothing beats opening up your mind with a new experience.

anyway this is one of my new reads: she takes lovely pictures of her daughter.

also, i'm trying not to buy new clothes - i did go shopping a bit the past month but no more; i will start saving to go somewhere, so i need a little inspiration sometimes on how to mix and match my existing wardrobe. i do know that i need to start looking out for a new pair of black pumps, my existing one still fits well but the heel is rather scratched, like the leather being really scrapped - was it against escalators? was it when i wore my heels to the construction site?

i'm always torn between informal/formal, androgynous/girly, monotone/colourful...do i just need one style? i guess i can be all of that on different days. my fall back uniform is something like the image above - a looser shirt with rolled-up sleeves and fitting pants and good simple heels. i'll always love the look of Filippa K though. i really love the relaxed but semi-formal style with good detailing.
