Spring Fashion 2008

From transparency to tuxedos, togas to disco, and airy frocks to safari wear, spring fashion trends for all over the map, but are united by a common escapist thread.

The Bright, Bold Color is the biggest spring fashion this year. So, if you are a fashion follower, go for the rainbow colour. Apparently it is a big fashion this year through the summer. The Color-happy fashionistas will dress from head to toe in eye-popping colors like daffodil yellow, vermillion orange, verdant green, hibiscus red, bold fuchsia, wild violet and cobalt blue. Whether you go intense all over or simply go bright with an accent, just look to the crayon box to follow this trend.

For spring '08, models became walking bouquets of roses, peonies, and pansies – to name a few. The season itself was the obvious inspiration for this blossoming trend, with designers displaying vibrant illustrations and blurred hothouse motifs in their delightful fashions. Flower lovers will swathe themselves in large, graphic floral prints, while those allergic to the impact of oversized patterns can opt for a quieter take on the flowery trend by choosing summery dresses and silky scarves in mid-sized prints.

So this is just an update of this fashion this spring as your guide and tips. I am happy to write down here or paste a clip from my other sources that I found through browsing. So, lets go for it and let us have some fun this spring fashion trends. It would surely look cool, hip and trendy and everyone will be up on their own shoe, I tell you.

Skin Care

Getting older concerns me because I know how it will vary my skin. I know that when I come to an age I do need Pro-age Skin care or something like that to keep my skin look variant and healthy. Like the celebrities even they got to an age of 50', 60's 70' most of them still look incredibly young because of how they look after and maintain with a skin care product. Charlez Teron, Jane Fonda and Nicole Kidman are my favourite of all because despite fo their age they still look amazingly beautiful with their super glow and radiant skin.

I often come with a clever ideas and suggestion then stand for it. I want to change and be more easy and learn the awareness in life. I found a new earth to do all this course and its called the sedona method. It will easily helps you to achieve a profound awareness in life.

Buy to Let

After 6 months we haven't had any offer from our house selling and yet we are desperate to move. The other alternative is just to get a buy to let mortgage so we could get a bigger house. Though we are not a First Time Buyer Mortgage but still it feels like we are because of this big hit of high rate percentage. I couldn't wait to move and settle to our new home but unfortunately it will take a lot longer as we are in the wrong time to sell and buy houses.

But as I said, we consider to go for this option, a buy to let it out so we could move on by this summer into a bigger house. I just wish that paper processing will take a lot less this time for I remember when we first buy our place, it tooks few months until its ready to be occupied. I can't wait that long for I am fed-up of this small quadroom that hardly swing a cat. Gladly, earth.co.uk is here to give a hand which comes handy for us. Hubby is now investigating the website and it looks very promising so it might be the answer to our prayer.

1954-1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe

Last week, the whole family had a dinner get-together in Mother's house. While waiting for the food to be ready, I sat down the patio and watching the sunset and captured some photo of it through my mobile camera. Then, I move on to read the car magazine and my in-law point out to me a car that is ideal to buy. He was joking when he pointed this classic 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe. There is no way I could afford to buy such an expensive and luxurious sports car. Take a look at how cool is this?


This car cost more or less £150K and depending the how big is the engine and the quality. It is indeed a classic Mercedes-Benz and its droolingly super reliable. How I wish I will win the Lottery so I could afford to buy this sports car. Then I can show to my in-law afterwards, hehehehe. He is a very funny man and like to joke around and make us all laugh. So, I only look at the picture and dream that one day I will own one.

If Nike had just launched a new trainer style then Adidas is sure unbeatable too. This classic trainer adidas is one the best. Go grab them now while still on stock, your choice your trainers! Whichever you prefer and feel comfortable with, price wise is very similar with Nike air.

Fashionable Scales


What else can I do when I am stuck in the house doing nothing because of this cold freezing weather, I do web browsing instead and finding new things, discovering new shopping treat for myself and for the family, exploring the whole new world of internet shopping. Perhaps I could do a little bit of research and learn new things everyday. A new stuff I have been looking for quite sometime now is a digital kitchen scale so I can keep track on my ingredients while cooking some specific meals of the day. I am quite fascinated of this new found scale today which is very trendy, (look pic above). Yeah that is one of the newly added kitchen digital scale at scalesetc.com which I prefer than the old and classic one, lol. You know I go no better than a fashionable stuff these days. I go with the flow usually whichever I think suit my taste.

Anyway, bathroom scales is another thing I wanted to get. I found the one I like from the same online store scalesetc and thinking I will get them both together. Its a nice thing to have in the bathroom too so you can just check you weight whenever you feel like before and after eating, every morning and evening too is ideal. So, I decided to get one like this,

Nike Traning Shoes



This is sure a droolingly reliable shoes in all times. Nike have the best training shoes. I love Nike and most of my training shoes are Nike. I am that obsessed of this brand. Who would not drool of this style and the quality is sure will last as long as you live. My first Nike if it hadn't been stolen from me it would still be here in my collection now but that was way long time ago when I was only 17 years old when I had my first Nike pair of training shoes. Unfortunately I was only able to wear it couple of times before it has been stolen away from my closet. For trainer shoes, Nike is the best!

Rugby 6 Nations

Rugby is one of the world famous sports that is watch by millions of fans. I am one of that millions fans and of course I only support my favourite team which is England. Sadly, the last time they played was on Saturday against Wales and unfortunately England didn't make it to victory for the first Match of the 6 nations games. I guess this is another impossible dream for the fans to see their favourite team to the final. Anyway, there might be another hope depends on the standing of each team. Anyhow, I should still be proud of England team for they are the only one who won the World Cup in Northern hemisphere.

On Saturday, hubby and me were a bit disappointed because at the first half England did really well but was a bit disappointed on second half. Better luck next match I think. Another rugby game next week so I better hope that England team will do better this time. I am a bit worried though for we might be out on weekends to have fun. But I guess I can just watch it through online at rbs6nations. Not only I can catch up I can even know the next events, games results and etc. Good website to keep for a big rugby fan like me. I was hoping that England to win for 6 nations this year.
