The Versatile Blogger Award

Versatile: competent in many areas and able to turn with ease from one thing to another; "a versatile writer".



Thank you Tigerlily from Two Thousand Things for giving me the Versatile Blogger award!
 

To accept the Versatile Blogger Award there are some rules to follow:

1. Thank and link back to who gave you the award.

2. Share seven things about yourself.
3. Pass it along to seven blogs you’ve recently discovered and enjoy.

4. Leave your recipients a note, telling them about the award.

Random Things About Myself - since I've shared some already on other award posts, I'll just not make this a certain number of facts but instead leaving it blank to give me some autonomy:

1. I like to eat. I like to eat a lot. I don't look it, but I do, I really do.

2. I go to a United Nations school in Hanoi, Vietnam.

3. I really don't have that many interesting facts about myself. I'm the most averagest average average girl ever.

4. I can play the piano! I used to take lessons for 4 years, but my skills are waning now due to laziness being busy with school so I have no time to practice :(

5. I never play around with eye shadow (I only recently started) because of my monolids. It's so tough to get the right look especially when you don't have double lids.

Passing it along to these lovely bloggers:

2. Sisters and Sisters

Love My Tee

Shirt: a garment worn on the upper half of the body



Put this outfit on in 5 minutes because I was late this morning for school. This shirt is becoming one of my favorite. It's so comfortable! I didn't actually wear those heels to school (they require special skills to walk in since they're freaking tall) but I put them on for the purpose of the outfit post.

(Zara shirt, Zara harems, Aldo heels)



The tallest freakin' heels ever. Almost impossible to walk in.

Who Says Baggy Jeans Are Only For Boys?

Baggy: not fitting closely; hanging loosely; "baggy trousers"; "a loose-fitting blouse is comfortable in hot weather"
"Are you sure those pants are your size?"
"Why are you wearing pants that are too big for you?"

Haha, some of the reactions I got for wearing these jeans but they were made to look baggy. They're exactly my size, but the crotch/back seam is lower. I've always wanted to get myself a pair of boyfriend jeans or baggy jeans but could never find one that was the perfect size until now! Thank you Zara for creating amazing pants (that fit).

Perfect amount of sagging on the back, so it doesn't look too baggy.



I love travelling to new places, I just don't like the process of it. Do you know how tiring it is to travel? Airport transits, airplane food, everything is such a big hassle and it tires me out so much (or maybe since I do it so many times in a year it's not even funny) but seriously. I wish there was a one-way plane ride to every country in the world so we don't have to transit. You know what else I hate? That you need to pretty much strip naked, take out all the contents in your bag, put all of them in separate freaking containers because who knows I might have explosive mentos or something just to get on the freaking plane, put all my watery liquids in a plastic bag that can't weigh more than a feather. THANK YOU TERRORISTS, I hope you're happy now that you've revolutionized airport security. I guess better safe than sorry huh? Sorry for this rant but I just flew back to Hanoi yesterday and realized how much I hated it (being in airports all day). I can't imagine how my friends deal with it when they go back to their home countries halfway around the world. I usually only take half a day to get to Jakarta. Imagine people going to the USA or Europe.


Love how there's a giant suspending digital clock after every meter or so.

Who knew my balcony provides the most beautiful natural lighting for pictures (that actually sounds so obvious it's dumb),

Leather Dresses and Red Hair.

Mahogany: reddish brown: a shade of brown with a tinge of red.


Technically, the hair bit should be mahogany because yes, I dyed it mahogany. I also wore a two-tone leather dress for my "late birthday" dinner yesterday.

Dressed in all black but tomorrow will be the first day of chinese new year, so please do expect some colors!

Here Comes the Bride.

Diamonds: n mineralogy, diamond (from the ancient Greek ἀδάμας – adámas "unbreakable") is an allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure called a diamond lattice.

Did I tell you guys I'm going to be a bridesmaid this summer for my cousin's wedding? So today was our dress fitting and it was SO MUCH FUN. Is it just me or are all wedding dresses absolutely amazingly gorgeous? My cousin had a couple selections to choose from (not sure if I was allowed to post her dresses but I mean I doubt anyone of my family will see these pictures so) and I had a couple too. 


Here are the actual wedding dresses:

This one has Swarovski diamonds beaded on the ruffles.

This one has a train 3 meters long, complete with Swarovski diamantes all down the train. GORGEOUS.

I had three dresses to choose from. They're all gorgeous though.

Swarovski diamonds on the sleeve and the little detailing on the ribbon.

So excited for the wedding,
Tammie.

Tory Burch.

Flats: footwear (shoes or slippers) with no heel (or a very low heel)


I finally got around to wearing my new Tory Burch flats. It's not the usual black/gold ones, I couldn't find them! These are the snake skin ones, which I thought wasn't all that bad. I need to get the black/gold ones though.

In More Ways Than One.

Earmuffs:Earmuffs are objects designed to cover a person's ears for protection or warmth.

I've had this plaid jacket for a while now, and experimenting with those frequently worn harem pants of mine, I decided to mix it up with a cropped jacket. I wish I had a tighter belt so I could keep those pants up higher so the jacket would completely cover the shirt (so it's not like red plaid, white shirt and pants.. Just red plaid and pants, you know?) Meh. Note for next time. Anyways, the red plaid jacket really matched my red tote bag and my red socks (if you can see them).

PENGUIN EARMUFFS ARGH.

Aren't those the cutest things EVAR? Bought them for the sake of it. It was on "final reduction" sale - down to almost 75-80% or something. It's not even warm or anything and I think it's for little kids, but WHAT THE HECK. I'll give it to my kids when I get around to having some. Or my sister.
Talking about my sister, she had her little "disco party" in school today and I had to go take her. I didn't want to change outfits or anything, I mean it was a short trip there and back, so I just changed the accessories and shoes. I want to one day just wear the same outfit and "change" it at least 3-4 times so they look different but they're the same you know? Haha that probably didn't make any sense. I'll just show you when I do the post.




Blurry, artistic accidental pictures FTW.

FEATURED LOOK

Name: Phuong Tran
Age: 16 years old
Nationality: Vietnamese

If you haven't noticed already, I'm really going to simplify this feature. I'll just provide the most minimal information as I think that the important thing about these posts is the outfit itself and the personal style. I think it's up to you (readers) to interpret it the way you want to - and maybe comment if you do have any questions :)

Ciao,
Tammie.

Formspring Me

QUICK UPDATE:
I've had formspring for a while, but never really used it. So I'll introduce it on this blog now in case you guys have any questions! Check out the tabs on the side for the link/button/picture.

Purple Mustard.

Mustard: any of several cruciferous plants of the genus Brassica.

I was thinking more of like, Mustard: ketchup that is yellow; yellow ketchup. 

I've always wanted to get myself a mustard yellow coat, but then I found the next best thing. Yellow mustard suede wedges and they cost about US$20. I absolutely love them, and I think I can play around with colored socks and different colored pieces in my outfit with these wedges!

Shoes Eye-Candy.

Eye-candy: visual images that are pleasing to see but are intellectually undemanding; "he wanted to put some eye candy on their web site".



Can I just say Jeffrey Campbell shoes gives me tingles. In a good way.



This one is really finsk-esque.
