Since last year, I have been bugging hubby to get a second car. He needs to travel to his hometown every month and we’ll always face this car issue. For those of you who drive, you know what it is when you don’t have a mode of transport. It is convenient and frustration. You can feel as if your ‘legs’ and ‘freedom’ are removed from you!

For those of you who are house proud or take time to decorate your house, I’m sure you will take time to pick the right wall colour, furniture, sofa set, lighting, curtains and shades. Now that we have lived in this house for seven years, I told DH that it is time to change some shades and put on elegant and trendy ones. This will make the rooms brighter, livelier and ‘happier’! I love those cellular shades that look attractive, affordable and are great to filter the strong sun rays. They are great for any corner of your house and in our case, I would love to have them for our home office and bedroom. This will even be cozier when I take my afternoon naps.

If you are thinking of updating the shades in your house, take a look at the awesome collection at Select Blinds, a favourite among celebrity designers and interior professionals. There must be a good reason why they are featured in ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

Honestly, I forgot about them until I was in my mom’s house. She pulled out a few of my winter vests and my, I didn’t know I had these great looking vests that are currently in fashion!

So before you add a new item in your wardrobe this weekend, dig out all your old clothing and see if you have forgotten any of lovely ones. The cool thing is you probably won’t spot someone wearing that same piece, since it was so long ago…
