Love to Be Cuffed

I recently came across polyvore’s website while browsing on the internet. Have you ever tried creating collages with polyvore? 
This one is my first collage with polyvore. Was fun creating this.

My Laptop Bag

I wanted place this blogpost earlier, but was having internet problems.

I recently bought a KlipXtreme water resistant laptop bag.

Before this new laptop bag I had one from the brand Echo which didn’t last long. At first one of the strap hooks broke. My laptop was in my bag when the strap broke, but luckily nothing happened to my laptop. Next, the zipper snapped off.

From my experiences with my previous laptop bags, the first thing that breaks is the strap hook. I was using an old laptop bag for some time.

I hope my new laptop bag is sturdy. It has five main storage compartments. In the front compartment I can neatly organize my stationaries. I use the second compartment for placing my water bottle.

In the middle there are also two main compartments. I use one compartment for my laptop and the other one for placing my books, notepads etc. I love the shock-absorbing bubbles; looks and feels sturdy. There are also two slide pockets and a zippered pocket in the middle.

There’s also a back compartment, where I can easily slip something extras.

I did some research on sites where you can buy durable quality and sturdy stuff and having visited some blogpost reviews and reading some customer reviews I came across the brand Eddie Bauer. Eddie Bauer Holding, Inc. was established in 1920 and the headquarter is stated in the US.

Next time I need to get a laptop bag, I’ll know that I can look for one at www.eddiebauer.com. One of the bags from this line that I like and which isn’t too expensive is the Daisy Messenger Bag. It doesn’t have strap hooks, so I wouldn’t have to worry about the strap breaking. I read that their bags are great for carrying at airports.

There are a large variety of items from this brand. You can also find clothing and shoes for men and women, travel accessories, camping equipment, essentials for the rainy season, nursery essentials, quality and durable strollers, car seats and gear accessories etc. Target also sells items from the Eddie Bauer line. The grapics are copyrighted, so can’t place them out here.

That’s it for today’s post.

Wishing you all a great day!

Dressale Wish-list Not Legit

Hi everyone!

You must have noticed that I removed one of my recent posts about my Dressale wish-list. That’s because I recently contacted one of my GFC followers who has over 900 followers to ask whether she had received her wish-list. It appeared that she didn’t receive anything and that they are lying. So if you have created any blogposts for them I’m recommending to remove them, cause you wouldn’t want to make free advertisement for them. I’ve already warned some bloggers about this. If you google ‘Dressale wish-list’ you will notice that there are over a hundred Dressale blogposts, so do warn your blogger friends about this. Dressale asks bloggers to invite other bloggers to participate in creating a Dressale wish-list post and offer $5 for every blogger that successfully work with them. I was invited by another blogger and I had 4 bloggers on my list whom I invited, so sorry about this guys.

I’ve read some blogposts about bloggers who had hosted a giveaway for Dressale and it appeared that the winner couldn’t use the voucher. They said to order $200 in items in order to be able to use the voucher, so it’s not really a giveaway.

I’ve also checked some Dressale reviews on the internet and it appears that there are a lot of complaints on the internet about their dresses; complaints like very cheap quality, damaged (ripped, button or zipper broken), stain on the dress or wrong size, color or different dress. There are also complaints that they don’t do refunds or that they didn’t get all their money back after canceling their order and I also read some complaints that they didn’t receive anything at all. I also read some reviews that their support system doesn’t exist. So I think that it’s better to stay far away from this site.

Wishing everyone who celebrates Holi, a very happy Holi in advance!

Kisses.

On the Ramp

When I was in India, I got the opportunity to be a ramp model for one night. I actually didn’t want to participate at first, but as they needed some more models I agreed. The institute where I was studying was celebrating their 25^th silver jubileum. This had been a great experienced for me. I had bought a saree for my friend’s wedding, which I wore at the fashion show. How do I look in my saree?

I had bought these Elle nail pops which I had combined with black nailpaint from the Indian brand True Colors, which I bought for less then $1. :)

This is how the red nailpolish looks like. I was wearing it to the birthday party previous Saturday.

From the Elle brand I also had bought a kohl eye liner which I wear almost every workday and which I love. 

I amost have 100 followers on my blog! Yay…thanks for following everyone! I will definitely be following you back if I haven’t followed you back yet.

Hugs and kisses

It's been such a long time!

Hi everyone!

Chandigarh Rose Garden

Hi everyone!

How are you doing?
I’m doing great and at the moment I’m in India!

India is totally different from what I had thought that it would be like. I had traveled to India via Holland from my country Suriname, so I also saw a little bit of the Netherlands.

The trip was exhausting, cause I hadn’t slept well in the planes and my ears were pretty much hurting 10 minutes before landing. When I got out of the airport, I was like wow, this city looks more modern then Holland, that’s something I hadn’t expected. It took me a few hours before I could hear normally.

Airport in Delhi

 

I’ve visited different cities in India and they are all different from each other. I’ll start with Chandigarh. Chandigarh is said to be the cleanest city of India and the city plan was designed by the French architect Le Corbusier.

Street in Chandigarh



The thing that struck me at first was that there were lots of cyclists; in my country you’ll find more cars than cycles. You’ll also find lots of scooters in Chandigarh.

Scooters and scooters

 



Chandigarh is the greenest city of India. Flowers grow pretty well compared to my country. Chandigarh is divided in 65 sectors. The sectors are separated by beautiful round parks, which is taken care of daily. I have taken lots of pictures of the parks out here. Below is a picture of a park that divides 4 different sectors.

This is one park, but the pictures are taken from different sides.

 

One of the flower places I’m in love with is Rose Garden. It’s a big park of 27 acres with lots of different roses in lots of different colors.

  

 

 

 

 

 

At first I had to get used to the food out here; but now I’m starting to like Indian food.

This is a picture taken in one of the bakeries in Chandigarh. I’m definitely going to try some of these very soon; they look yum.

 



I’ve made lots of friends out here from all over the world; it’s definitely a very great experience.

 

 

 

 

 

That was it for today’s post about India. Will be back soon with more about Chandigarh!

Some of my latest buys

Hi everyone!

I have been absent from here for quite a long time. It was high time for a new post. With the pressure at work I wasn’t in a mood of blogging. I’m free for a while so I have lots of time to blog and entertain you guys.  I’ll share some of my latest buys today.

I had ordered some Avon items about which I am blogging about today.

No. 1 is my Breast Cancer Ribbon Scarf which I really wanted. I have a strapless dress, but I find it a bit too revealing, so I thought of combining it with a shawl. I like the silky feel of this polyester shawl. It’s 36" x 36"; I wish that it was a bit longer, but it looks great paired with my pink dress. Hope I can get some pictures taken to share with you guys when I wear my pink dress. ;)    
                    
                                 My score: an 8.5 out of 10

No. 2 is my Mark. SPF 15 Color Shine Lipstick in Ginger Snap. It’s a nice shiny color and my lips feel soft and moisturized. I also like its magnetic closure which “clicks” closed every time. Can't seem to get the picture in it's original angle; sorry about that.

My score: an 8.5 out of 10

No. 3 is my Ankle Wrap Espadrille Wedge. It’s made of faux-suede and has a jute upper and wedge. The heel is 3 3/4 " high. I actually don’t always feel comfortable in high heels, but these are just perfect, though I had to create an extra hole for the straps. Feels great wearing them.

My score: a 9 out of 10.

No. 4 is my Disney Mickey Mouse Silhouette Watch. I’ve been wanting this watch for a very long time. I was very happy when I received this watch; can’t wait to wear it. It has a genuine mother-of-pearl dial and it’s as pretty as I had expected it to be; I absolutely love it! It’s for wrists varying from 6 ½ - 6 ¾ " and it has a 1" extender. It’s a bit too big for me, but I’ll have a few of the mickey mouse links removed by a jeweler.

 My score: a 9.5 out of 10

That was my post of sharing my latest buys. Wish me lots of wealth so I can share lots more buys with you guys…haha…lolz. See ya next time!
