" love you better than the meadowlark "

There's something about Anthony Kiedis' voice that makes me melt, there's something about his punk and jaded yet soulful embodiment that makes him the one person I want to meet (Okay, A & MK are up there too). All I can do is smile and I love smiling.

picture caption: the back of Hannah's jean jacket, with a sewed on RHCP patch (from the RHCP concert, 09/14/06 - the day I witnessed my love for music). It most definitely came in handy.

"I'll be back" (said in the Terminator voice) .. wow, that was lame.

I've been a little bit bombarded lately, but it's all so very exciting.

I have not forgotten about you blog, I'll be back!

Sincerely,

Wherever it takes me

Refreshing day, however, this day went by incredibly fast. At Blenz on Granville and Broadway, blogging away - and then I get a text to attend JK Models One Year Anniversary at Leone, an invite I couldn't refuse.

I'm liking this, a lot.

After Blenz and a trip to Urban Brick I found myself shopping, at Urban Planet, I know. But really, it's like the feared knock-off store, no, it is the feared knock-off store. But my curiosity started to unravel after spotting the $5 sign with dresses attached to them. You see, I can't be too picky about where I shop. I have yet to reach the stage where my credit card holds no limits, at least limits that I have negotiated a comfort zone with. Therefore, I have to be creative with what I wear, how I wear them and particulary -- where they're from.
With my green tea & honey on Granville
After I ventured through racks and floors of clothes from floral skirts to asymmetric tanks that hang below the hips, I decided on a strapless mini black dress (the design imitated by FCUK for a price much more minisicule that that of the store). The quality is definitley lacking -- I thought the zipper was about to break just trying it on, but for a one-time wear when the paycheck is still en route to the bank account, I say 'why not.' But then I kept shopping, and didn't stop. I continued to buy a belt with a black flower clasp, a silver snake-hugging ring, a light lemon chiffon coloured headband with a massive flower pertruding on my head (I swear, it looks better than it sounds) and a black and salmon-pink scarf, for under 50 bones - to me, that's a deal.
If it's one thing my mom has embedded in my head: don't buy non-sale items (unless it's designer), why? because regular price is bound to be on the sale rack. Fashion evolves, my pockets however, don't.
That may be considered a major fashion faux-pas -- but I live in reality, where food and lights are essential. Of course I would love a Chanel 2.55 quilted bag to cling on to, but until then, long live my vintage hand-me-down Aldo bag with gold clasps that once belonged to mum.

Facelift

Move over Heidi Montag, Sincerelyours will be getting a makeover. Like anything worn out or out of date, a makeover is a must. Something fresh for summer, yes? I agree.

My dear friend, Christie Aguasin will be creating a new look for my blog.

And in return, I will 'fancy' it up with posts, words, music, whatever flows out of these fingertips.

Stay tuned!

Sincerely,
Kyla

my favorite word: inspiration

It was a beautiful day to start, and then the umbrella came out - so I found comfort in between mounds and mounds of books, that is Chapters. It's like a library in there, find a book, snag a seat, read away.

I pulled out the 'encyclopedia' of my favorite fashion duo: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. From watching them on Full House, to Two of Kind, even New York Minute -- I admired them, their books, movies and now, their style.


The love, the talent and the passion that MK & A posses is influential to myself. When I try to wrap my head around the success that MK & A have founded their names on I am almost dumbfounded. The exquisite, outrageous and pure style is so highly respected that the most coveted names in the fashion industry such as Karl Lagerfeld and Diane Von Frutsenberg are found pressed in the pages of this book: Influence, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Ethan's Six!

My favorite boy in the whole world turned six on May 04. He was spoiled with Star Wars apparel, lego and more lego. I decided not to cave into the Star Wars theme (which probably wasn't in his best interest) but I got him a Dino IQ book, I mean, it came with a boardgame, a poster and a glow in the dark puzzle! I even threw in a basketball Nerf set. He didn't seem to pay too much attention with it, considering he also got an entire baseball set, including the t-stand.

My family has a weird obsession for bowling, so that was the main event for the night - and, as always - I got beat by a six-year-old.
