New journal adventure | Workplace inspiration

Do you guys write journals/diaries? If you do, I'm sure you can relate to my feelings of excitement when I started this brand new journal yesterday! This was my new year's gift from Mum, a Moleskine Classic Large Ruled Hardcover Journal. I know it looks boring with a total black cover but it's actually so beautiful! It was absolute joy writing on it. I also changed my way of documenting my day. I used to only write plain text, with some Korean stickers sometimes; now I decided to put all inspirations I find in magazines or on the Internet into it. I had so much fun cutting out clips from some old Dolly magazines.

5 March journal entry

I'd also like to share some beautiful images I discovered on Pinterest. And did I mention I'm so obsessed with those beautiful workplace pictures lately? My goodness, I can't stop staring at them. Unlike these people, my desk is a total mess!

Happy Wednesday!! Isn't it lovely to realise the day after tomorrow is Friday?... Oh well maybe ;)

Life as Daisy

So many things going on at school right now! Today I finally finished my Science research assignment - took me ages. To relax a little, I let out my inner creativity :) Here are the results.

                       

Inspired by Marc Jacobs' perfume, 'Daisy'

I painted this cover red a few months ago and found it boring ever since... so I redecorated it with some magazine cut-outs

I would really like to know what you guys think of them :) 

Getting inspired

I got one of my least favorite issues of Dolly magazine and cut out random pieces with bare hands instead of scissors coz I thought it'd turn out more vintage. The pieces include some text from the magazine. I highlighted some words so it didn't look too boring. I wish to use newspaper instead coz it'd look old but there ain't any English ones at home. The little butterfly was cut from a random advertisement. All these were put on an old envelope with glue and tapes.

You can also see the striped line on the left. It was inspired by those on postcards or international air mails. The pic on the top left was some party balloons. And the one on the top right was the Marc Jacobs' "Daisy" ad. Notice the little flag? I made it with stickers which I bought earlier this year on Taobao and a toothpick.

I really like how it has turned out. This was inspired by Wreckthisgirl. Not as pretty but when I uploaded it to Instagram, she commented,

Anyway, this was indeed really fun! =)
