It’s time again for TiLT<\/span><\/strong>! But first things first:\u00a0I’ve been tagged by the lovely Marian of The House of Style to list seven things about myself, yours truly. [p.s.: I think I just might start a FAQ page<\/strong> since you lovely readers have asked many questions, through comments and e-mails. I hope to make your lives easier by making all this information accessible, so if you have any lovely questions, do drop it below in the comments. Or forever hold your peace. (I kid.)]<\/p>\n

1. My favorite ice cream flavor of all time must by Godiva’s White Chocolate with Raspberry swirls – it must be the most luxurious name ever. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water a bit; it truly is the perfect dessert for indulging your senses, especially when eating it in a pretty bowl and matching silverware. It makes me feel a bit more sophisticated ;).<\/p>\n

\"lipgloss\"<\/a>2. The only makeup I wear on a daily basis is lipgloss. I have an obsession with lipgloss (I must carry 7-8 in my bag at all times). Otherwise, I save other goodies for special occasions or nights out!<\/p>\n

3. I’ve been asked what my style is; basically what I wear is reflected in this blog. So I guess you can conclude that I do love basic, simplistic things with a sophisticated touch. But truthfully, what I wear depends on what music I was listening to before I fall asleep. So if it was, say, DJ Felli Fel’s “Get Buck in Here” (great song!) I would be in a hip-hoppish mood and go for a bright tee and distressed skinnies in a light wash. If it was Mariah Carey, then something a bit more on the glamorous side with glitzy accessories. And these little moods are also fairly dependent on what shows\/movies I watched recently. I guess you can say its everchanging. Because I love everything.<\/p>\n

4. This is my favorite time of the year; after all, it’s almost Christmas in a matter of weeks! I absolutely love the decorations, the music (yes, I’m a Trans-Siberian Orchestra fan!), the parties, the gift shopping\/giving, and of course, the food. (Check out my wish list!)<\/p>\n

5. Dark nail\u00a0lacquer. It just makes me feel 10x more fabulous. And did you know that wearing red nail polish can boost your confidence? There was a study done in (I can’t exactly remember) 2006 (ish) on the color red – so the point is, when you need a confidence booster or if you’re having a rather tough day, don’t reach for black: go rouge!<\/p>\n

6. I love sheer scarves. The lightness of it is just so delicate and gives this feeling of airiness. And they do a great deal in making an outfit so much more dimensional & elegant!<\/p>\n

7. I have this obsession with lustworthy journals. AKA Moleskines. But I have yet to buy one!<\/p>\n

And now, the TiLT list:<\/p>\n

\"things-i-love-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Watching the Sisterhood of Traveling Pants on my iPod. It really is a tearjerker – or perhaps I’m just a bit too sensitive. All emotional reactions aside, I absolutely love Lena – not only is she gorgeous, but the outfits she wears (post-Kostos) are so darling! Very sweet and innocent – something a bit harder to find these days, sadly. Not to mention; Kostos makes for some lovely eye candy.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Using my procrastinating time to pour through lovely streetstyle blogs and inspirational ones. The photos are so fabulous and make me want to go shopping – maintenant<\/em>!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0The January issue of ELLE just arrived! It does feel a bit on the lighter side; I do hope the economic crisis isn’t affecting the publication…<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Dove Shampoo & Conditioner. It makes my hair ridiculously soft. And it smells so good.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Katherine McPhee & Andrea Bocelli singing “The Prayer” live. This song must be rank amongst the most beautiful songs I’ve yet heard. And the duet was beyond perfect, so impeccably sung that the hair on the back of my neck rose (so the cliche goes). Mindblowingly phenomenal.<\/p>\n
