Dressing Kids Up - Tip #8

Dressing Kids Up Tip #8 - The right jeans.

Big Blood (note: new term for the big brother) recently came back from a US flight with new clothes for the girls. Among them were a pair of jeans each. You see I'm rather particular with jeans so I don't exactly know how to say this without hurting his feelings. But flare jeans for kids are kind of wimpy for now. Not all jeans look cool. They have to be the right wash and cutting. Skinny jeans have been happening for a while now but I don't think they're ready to leave the "scene" anytime soon. D shows you what I mean:

Give A Little Respect

When I was growing up, I remember constantly being reminded to salam or acknowledge people I come in contact with, esp those elder than me. But these days, the teenagers I come in contact with seem to have no decency for that. They can go googoo gaga over your kids but completely ignore the person whose bleeding p*p*k/vjayjay tore to make way for these babies. Not even an eye-contact, what more a smile.

The 4th Year - Munchkin

We did low-key for her 4th which was just a mini-celebration at school. Aaand we finally got her a bicycle. Tried dissuading her from the pink bikes but it failed (obviously). This was a compromise and of course the psycho mother who was unwilling to disgrace her (imaginary) indie-rock reputation had to pry off every existing tacky sticker found on it. And hoping to replace it with skulls crossbones and lightning bolts. Now can anyone direct me where I can get streamers for the handle grips?

oooh when was the last time I did a panning?

Chatterbox

Munchkin is in a highly fidgetive and talkative phase.

We were at a mall and she insisted on holding on to a disposable chopstick after we had our food. She fidgeted with it and kept dropping it while we walked so the frustrated mom who was gripping her hand on one hand and carrying a plastic bag on the other said "CAN YOU STOP PLAYING WITH THE CHOPSTICK?". The next minute, we were in a shop and the mom accidentally dropped the plastic bag and Munchkin said "Mama, CAN YOU STOP PLAYING WITH THE PLASTIC?".


No, I didn't color-coord for sleeptime. This was coincidental, I swear.

Dressing Kids Up - Tip #7

Dressing Kids Up Tip #7 - The right polo.
I have a love-hate relationship with polo t-shirts. Hate when they're over-sized or when the sleeves appear poofy. Love when they're vintage, snug and striped. Just exactly how Shibly wears it.

Family of Black and Red

This thing with colors was inspired by Jarvis Cocker.

extracted from an interview:

Camille: Jarvis did this thing that I love. At first I thought it was weird, but now I like it. When we go out he checks to see what I'm wearing, like the colours or shapes. It's not that he tries to match me but he can dress in the same family of colours. It's this old school way of showing that you belong.

Jarvis: Yeah, but it's not like we wear exactly the same thing. It's not like it's his n' hers.

Camille: No, no, that's not what I'm saying at all. It's just like the same family of colours.

Jarvis: It's about wearing something related.
