Last week, my hometown friend came all the way from Canada and we’d finally visited the sea aquarium at Sentosa Singapore!
We got to see seahorses via a magnifying glass,
Getting really close to hold the little crab and touch the starfish!
Immersing in the whimsical rhythm of the underwater world,
Jellyfish dancing in slow ballad,
And learnt that eels are gentle giants. They look scary but are more often too shy to come out in public.
And Dory’s really helping Marlin to find Nemo!
And waving hello to the cute diver! Now we’re talking in two mediums!
-Make a weekend off to visit the aquarium with your friends and family. It’s definitely an activity great for all young to old!
– Take your time between taking pictures and looking closely at the underwater world. There are too much details you don’t want to miss a single thing.
– Spend at least 3 hours to make it worthwhile (personal opinion)
– Take your time to read all the biological facts and detailed info of each species.
– If you’re planning for a full day trip, visit the Adventure Cove Waterpark for some interactive snorkelling!
Now I need more blue dates just to get back in there!
There are times when you glance at your wardobe and question yourself about half the plain basic tee’s you own. Obviously, you predict that you will never ever wear it, as the garment is simply too bland for your own good! What do you do? Throw it in a pile and convince yourself you won’t put it to waste and give it away to charity. As much as we wanted to, lets face it, we never actually get to it. Thankfully us FriendlyFashers have come across one solution we think would brighten up your wardobe (literally!) as well as not put your basic tee’s to waste.
WARNING: This is a DIY post, so chicas be prepared to get your hands dirty and if you’re anything like me, wear a body armour, as I am uber clumsy.
Before you get too cocky and overly excited, causing you to spray bleach the whole shirt, focus on the supplies needed and instructions carefully.
Things you need:
-Plain tee (refrain from using white, as the results won’t be very visible) -Poster paper -Empty spray bottle -Fabric bleach (purchased from supermarkets containing imported goods and even some craft stores) -Rubber gloves (how are you going to scartch your hair or face midway, when all that bleach is on your hands?!)
Instructions:
1. Be sure to start off with your gloves on and spreading sheets of old newspaper on the area you are conducting this DIY at.
2. Brainstorm what shape/character/animal/pattern you want on your tee. Once you have figured that out, use the poster paper to cut out whatever design you desire as a silhouette.
3. Once you have cut out your silhouette, prepare to spray by placing the shape on the tee. (It’s best if you place newspaper inside the shirt, so the bleach doesn’t seap to the back of the tee)
4. Mix 2 parts bleach, and 1 part water into the spray bottle.
5. Now it’s time to place your stencil on the shirt and start spraying all around the outer parts of the stencil.
6. It will take awhile for the colour to start changing so be patient, and if it isn’t as light as you wanted, go ahead and go crazy with the spray!
7. When your shirt is bleached to your liking, take off the stencil and rinse thouroughly.
8. Boom! It is complete and all you have to do it wait for it to dry, and you can start washing it regularly again.
There you have it, in 8 simple steps!
This idea has been circulating, but we would especially like to thank Savannah from the OH SO PRETTY THE DIARIES blog, for her photos!

Yes it is possible for your wet market wellies to morph into these bad boys, so go on keep reading!
Things you will need:
-A pair of wellie’s (can be cheap ones you purchased from the market or actual rainboots) -Gold paint marker, (available at any stationary/art store) -STEADY HANDS!
Instructions:
1. Work your way up, and start scribbling the design you desire, whether you decided to go with leopard prints or even polka dots!
2. Once you have completed one side of shoe number 1, wait for it to dry so you avoid smudging whilst drawing on the other side.
3. Repeat with the shoe number 2, and leave to dry for few hours before you take them out for a spin!

We have picked a star who not only has just released a new movie recently, but one who has been in the spotlight for what feels like a decade! We are rattling on about the stunning Vanessa Hudgens. We’ve seen her as the quiet, insecure girl who was sprinkled in floral and skirts in ‘High School Musical’; then we saw bits of V.Hudgens in the new flick ‘Spring Breakers’ where she was decked out in lets just say… a lot less clothing. It feels like we’ve seen it it all, but what we don’t normally witness, is her daily fashion do’s. As usual, the FF team went on and scoped the outfits that she’s been caught in; and indeed the young talent knows how to work it! We are here to point out the major oomph’s and ahh’s she adds to her wardrobe to make us crave her exquisite fashion sense.
1. Go with the FLOW…
What: It’s that carefree bohemian vibe she gives off, and it just makes the paparrazi want to snap infinite shots of the gal. It’s a easy to put on, and looks divine when the fabric is caressed with the wind. On top of that these type of get-ups are uber comfortable, and even tricks people into thinking you actually put effort into your outfit that day.
When: The best part about these kind of garments, is that it suits pretty much everything. You could head to the mall for a quick lunch, then for cocktails with your gal-pals without getting any judgmental up and down stares.
Where: From the supermarket, to the beach, to a night out with your beau… must we really go on?!
2. LAYERING..even in the summer…
What: It is Malaysia, and sometimes the weather just drives us over the edge. Times like these where you can sometimes say “screw it, looking good could sometimes mean sacrificing”. Most common one we hear about are your poor toes taking the pain, while you galavant in heels all day, or in this case sacrifice your level of comfort when it comes to the weather! As much as we love simple looks, sometimes you can’t help but stack on layers and layers of scarves or jackets just to give the outfit that oomph that it needs!
Where: Putting on layers on any of your simple outfits could be done no matter which venue or event you are hitting.
When: When is it not the right time to rock out with a denim vest or leather jacket?!
3. SIMPLICITY really is the ultimate sophistication…
What: You can still look cute, even when you’re rushing to 7 Eleven, or the gas station. It takes literally two seconds to match a pair of flattering pair of jeans, and a comfortable button up or vintage tank.
Where: It’s casual enough to show up wherever, even certain dinner plans, who’s judging?!
When: It’s appropriate for everyday errand runs to gas stops, to just a quick coffee with your amigas.
4. The TEE-DENIM ensemble…
What: This is one of my favourites, its simple, edgy and could may be a bit too casual for some, but it’s comfortable, not over the top but still has enough going on. The whole shirt tucked into the high-waisted shorts is an old school look that you could never go wrong with! Vintage tee’s speak for themselves, all you have to do is embrace that edge you’ve got.
Where: Since it is very casual, it can be worn to pretty much everything, except for any events that are held at nighter time.
1. Do you have a fashion icon? If yes, who and why did you choose them?I love Avril Lavigne fashion style because she always shows a simple fashion, but can make us feel attractive even just wearing tshirt and jeans.
2. What is your current favorite item from your closet?Jeans and Tshirt
3. Do you think the clothes you wear shows your personality?Yes, because the first expression is through our appearance, as it corresponds to something there is a situation or not.
4. Tell us what kind of style do you like?Simple, Attractive.
5. Do you think Malaysia should have a site like friendlyfashion.my?Yes.
6. Do you have any favorite quotes to inspire our readers? “Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing.” She’s real and simple! If you want to get to know her more, then check out www.emmaeema.blogspot.com
