Origami Me & Me

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Origami Me often scares conservative girls. It’s too pink, it’s too bright, attracts too much attention…
For the most part, I don’t care if people look, as long as I’m ready, that is. :)
I do agree, though, that there are days when I feel like not being too in-your-face. Yes, it’s possible with these fuschia babies!

The way to keep it subdued is to offset the pink with the accent colors of the pattern- there’s a deep blue, white, yellow, lavender and dark purple. Of course, gray, black and white also work wonders.

I created two outfits for this boot to show you how – one that’s dressier and the other one more appropriate for everyday.

The first outfit is simple, streamlined and classy. A gray sleeveless dress that’s date-appropriate with zipper accents for extra pizzaz. I accessorized it with the wax-paper-white Sugarsweet my+brolly umbrella in this photo.

Another easy-to-wear Origami Me outfit? How about a floral top and white shorts? It will make you forget that it’s not summer anymore. I’d use this outfit to run errands (bank, supermarket, etc) on a gloomy rainy day. An easy way to pick an outfit for Origami Me is getting something with pink as an accent color — thus my breezy floral shirt!

Oh, and why for heaven’s sake, should you wear rainboots to the grocery store?!?


So your feet and shoes don’t get soaked in rainwater! Trust me, it will save your sanity!

Two Thumbs Up!

Real Living July 2010

At Plueys, we like to take our time to browse our monthly magazines — all the fun ideas and eye candy we collect we store in our mental inspiration board — and we don’t stop at Fashion Magazines, we love Home magazines just the same! This month, our favorite Home Magazine turns seven! We’re thrilled to find out that our Plueys made it into Real Living’s July 2010 7th anniversary issue :)

This Budget Issue is chock-full of tips on living well while spending smart, for instance: Tray Bien - Carrying, serving, storing or just plain showing off your personal and home items can be as easy as one, two, tray!

One of Real Living’s practical ideas is to get an an old serving tray, line it with garden pebbles, and use as an indoor drying place for wet shoes or muddy boots. The moisture on your shoes will drip on the pebbles – not on your precious (wooden) floors – and will eventually evaporate.

Two reasons this tip gets our two thumbs-up? It saves you time – you only need to clean the tray, not the entire floor, from time to time. And most importantly, you don’t have to leave your beloved Plueys outside, where harmful sunrays can potentially damage the rubber and make it brittle over time. For more tips on caring for your Plueys, check out our FAQs.

Oh, it’s so nice to be blogging again! :) If you want to backtrack on our previous entries, check out our other blog. :) Celebrate the Rain!
