Style Tips -- 10th May 2007
[ 10 May 2007 ]
Make yourself a bento box for lunch! More economical than buying a dried-out, overpriced sandwich, & how could you not feel wonderful about eating something with a little nori smile?! (If you need some inspiration, check this out — it’s the happiest food in existence!)
Change your voicemail message. Have you noticed that most people’s answering machines are dreary & a yawnfestival at best, if not downright obnoxious? Make yours cute! When I was a kid & we first got an answering machine, I would record a new message every few days, in different accents & with different themes. It’s never too late to be nutty, you know.
Paint your toenails glittery. This goes for men, too! Especially as (some of us) are heading into winter, it’s like a superb surprise every time you take your socks off to get into the shower.
If it doesn’t offend your sensibilities too much, research some crystals & buy the ones you think you could use. I recently bought 3 bracelets — amethyst, fluorite & labradorite. I can actually feel them working. Am I a kook or what?!
Buy little perfume samples off Ebay so you have a variety of fragrances for the hottest (or coldest) part of the year. My summer pick is Miss Dior Cherie. My winter pick is MAC Cosmetics’ MV2 or Lolita Lempicka Midnight.
Print out huge copies of your favourite photos from Flickr. Stick them above your monitor, on the inside of your bathroom cabinet, in your Moleskine, on the fridge, etc. Instant inspiration!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

I love bento. I can’t wait to order some supplies and start making my own!
Check this website out – www.cookingcute.com
Are those the crystals in the bracelets you are wearing in your latest daily outfit? When I wear crystals I can ‘feel them working’ in a kind of self-fulfilling way – they are a reminder of the qualities or attitudes I want to focus on.
Perfume samples – these guys sell them:
http://www.perfumeshop.com.au
and these guys have them free-with-order, but you can also buy the sample sizes:

Nadine — Yup, they sure are. The fluorite bracelet is gorgeous, & I sleep with the amethyst one on… Thanks for the links honey!
Those bento boxes are sooo cute! It has inspired me to make my own cute food yay :)
I have to go to art school most days, so I make heart shaped rice with moulds i bought in kyoto, and cut my sandwiches into heart and bunny shapes!
happy food makes such a difference to any boring day in the studio!
i like the pacman egg though …!
Can you get bento in New Zealand or is it easier to order on line?
They look like so much fun which will encourage me to make my lunch.
Just answered my own question with a little investigation. Sorry to waste a comment space.
o! those bento boxes are the cutest things
n’aw bento boxes! ^^
i wear a necklace with a rose quartz in every day & i am convinced it has saved my current relationship from dissolving completely.
xo
love the way you shake things up!
it makes me want to learn how to make a smiley-face rice triangle.
Sophie — That is lovely. I always wonder whether things like that are psychosomatic, but christ, who cares really, as long as it works!
Lady Coveted — Thank you! I love your wardrobe_remix outfits :>
your perfume sample tip is a very good one. I collect them everywhere I go and agree – nothing changes your vibe like a new scent!
I got a sample of Viktor & Rolf’s Flower Bomb perfume when I bought my favourite Stella perfume and Flower Bomb is absolutely gorgeous!! It made me feel really really good and positive!
I have finished it now sob so am trying to save my pennies and buy a real bottle.
So I defintely back getting perfume samples when you can, great way to update your style.
you should record a fun message we can use for our voicemails! i like having other peoples’ voices, it throws my friends (and mom) off.
I’m also loving perfume samples at the moment and there are alot of sites out there that send em out free..
For those in the UK; http://www.perfumesamples.co.uk/
I’ve recieved quite a few from the links on there :] x
