Dynas in Nurita Harith for Anugerah Skrin 2009

2009-12-05T07:57:00.000-08:00

hi guys!

gown made for dynas during anugerah skrin 2009.
it turned out well,as the theme was 'arabian night'
wanted to still keep it elegant and beautiful.
so i chose the tones of soft nude and light gold for embellishments.
thank you ola for the fab accesories.

its a small step but a good one.
who knows few more years down the line singapore fashion week would be something i
would definitely look into.

other than that ive been pretty stressed on my gown-songket theme for anugerah bintang
popular.its quite the challenge,thats for sure.

im hoping it will be tasteful and elegant.

putting foot down

2009-02-21T19:09:00.000-08:00

along the way
projects falter,things change,many delays,
it just effects your motivation to continue.

i really must finish every single tasks that has been started.
although unfortunately im going through a very spaci---------------------ng out mode.

sigh

few days of shooting

2009-02-15T18:31:00.000-08:00

Ida Nerina in Nurita Harith,jewellery by OLA
for 'Hartamas'.

hi!

its been few days me updating the blog.
but in an odd way shop was closed friday and sunday due to renting out
for shooting tv series 'hartamas'

where i am sponsoring ida nerina for her outfits and ola are sponsoring for the jewellery.
finally after so many delays the half of the outfits are done,and yeah she looked good in that
fitted fuschia pink dress.

attached is picture of ida nerina in loose offshoulder pink dress from Nurita Harith.

yesterday was also the last day of my first intern ferris.
it was quiet a sad day in a way,as we all grown quite attached to him.
with his nonsense talking and funny verses,its going to be quiet without him.

little odds

2009-02-07T17:36:00.000-08:00

its been a good few days in the boutique.
and sales has picked up,
im very thankful to allah.

but have been procrastinating
on design work,completing orders and also many other things.
really need to get it done one by one.

other thn that,i think today sunday will relatively be a quiet day.
mmmmm

maybe gloomy maybe not

2009-02-02T17:24:00.000-08:00

i am blogging first thing in the morning today,
just to do a small forecast.

funny feeling,today might be a gloomy day not just in terms of weather but
work,i can sense a few misunderstandings (having a client over,whom is extremely fussy)
and having to rush out to get fabrics after and then back to shop,then out again to get it sent to tailor.

most days i like settling in the boutique workroom.
but today,i have to be out,sigh.

lets hope theres a bit of sunshine tho. :)

tender areas

2009-02-02T09:04:00.000-08:00

its hurtful when
you walk past ur dad in public,bumping into him
but both not acknowledging each other.
it doesnt bother me as much,in a way i have expected this
moment but whats most hurtful is when
the little sister u thought u had,chose to shut you away.

sometimes i can imagine her difficulties,living
with someone as complicated as my dad,but
part of me wishes she will be independant enough to
make her own life and not let him dictated it. (which he oh so enjoys)

maybe one day,one fine day,i will be able to actually sit down
and have coffee with my sister,with her feeling content with life too.

as i have always said,life is less complicated with him not in it.

Tea Party thingy

2009-01-31T09:12:00.000-08:00

hey peeps!

we had a tea party at the boutique today,
justin,micky and cho came which was fab of them
true commitment and ms.mok brought her new shoes in and yeah
was really nice.

this time around is a tad more quiet but i dont know
people would tell me stay positive,be happy with the turn out and the
outcome of sale,and i should.
in a way it didnt go all crazy but it was bad at all,thats for sure.
anyway,sold deer dress (oddly i feel a bit sad a bout it haha!)

and have attached new pictures of azura wearing ss09 dress with studds for the sk11 ad.

looking so subtle and sweet.

love it!

new pieces!

2009-01-30T08:45:00.000-08:00

today i was still coughing extremely bad.
and also did a small shoot with raessa and khalil.
it went very well,even with the wiring problem! (aircond and few lights went busted due to
wiring problem)

here i have posted the three animals - the iguana,the awana fish and the deer.
love them all.
and also from this i have gained plenty plenty more ideas for designs!!
was wondering if i should venture back to my own sketches of drawings and
actually transfering it to prints.
pure me.hahaha.

i hope the tea party goes well trw.

anyway enjoy the pics!love how raessa is able to carry the look.
so flirty and 'the lazy' look.

new piece

2009-01-29T17:50:00.000-08:00

i have received our 3 new baby colours toga pieces.
in baby orange/pink/purple.
all handdrawn image on them.
with detailed images,such as deer,iguana and awana fish. hehe

love love it!
will post images of it on a model.
but for now enjoy it on its own. :)))

monday blues

2009-01-12T07:03:00.000-08:00

today has been a very monday blues for me.

i hope trw will be a more positive PINK day.xxxx

dramarama on a tuesday

2009-01-06T08:39:00.000-08:00

lots of drama!
but honestly,am not bothered.annoyed yes.
but ah,too many things/work to sort out.

"lots of colours,peach,fuschia,apple green"

a big round of dissapointment

2009-01-04T07:36:00.000-08:00

to the world
for not trying hard enough in helping the whole gaza-israel situation.
ive been on bbc/al-jazeera every night. its just so disturbing
looking at innocent people,especially kids shot.

i hope please one tries to stand up for these innocent people.

today/thundery wednesday

2008-05-21T01:58:00.000-07:00

today.........at this very moment, outside its very
thunder ish. but still it hasn't rained. my task for today is
getting bits and bobs done, pretty simple things really.
like listing down roughly for the boutique. such as furniture,with price if i have got it down. even machines and so on.

we are planning to travel to bangkok sometime end june.
im pretty excited about this.looking at clothes and more more stuff!
i can just imagine ill be buying a big chunk for meself! a little shopping would do me good, honestly.

although its more work but its a good break. we have been browsing for nice hotels.
and we found this super studio, call 'legacy suites'. a very hip modern studio/hotel. its a tad far from the market but its nice to
have that city feeling at night.

yes,im so excited i really hope it happens.
neway, for today i've only been doing little things,
yet im so lagging holding the pen and start designing.

why oh why?

as my head is sooo clouding with tasks for MIFA , the boutique, and many many more.

tomorrow win will be down from abu dhabi, i havent been seeing her since she has been back couple of times, this makes me such a shitty friend. which to say sorry i have arranged the date tomorrow for all of us to meet up.

its been so long since ive seen the other girls. even min.
let alone lin.
everyone is so busy with work and their personal life.

anyway....cant be arsed to head to the gym today.im feeling really weak.

on the other hand momot (my cat) which has just been spayed has started to be very vocal now.

means she is back, and happy.hahaha.
