The traditional wedding dress for the Chinese is a red dress, called the chongsum. Have you seen those? They look very elaborated with the embroidiery so very few wear it now or opt for a simpler and moden design.

yup i still have the jimmy choos! sadly i have not worn them since because i'm scared they will get wrecked! they are all crystalled at the front and the ankle strap is made of crystal too. the actual shoes/heel part is a very pale pinky peach colour which matched my flowers. i saw the actress Joley Richardson wearing them and knew they had to be my wedding shoe! so searched long and hard for them!

i shall try and take a picture when i get home

My mum used to be into fashion. however now she just wears more classic clothing. she likes to wear trouser suits or pencil skirts and shirts to work (she's a teacher) and likes wearing jeans and cute tops at teh weekend. but she has some beautiful accessories like necklaces and bags and shoes... it's where i get my shoe obsession from.

i have not seen a chongsum in real liufe but i have just googled it and i must say it looks stunning! the red colour is beuatiful and the emrodery is so pretty.

would you wear one at your wedding?

 

[LMD84]

just took apicture. my feet are in a gross state right now though so please don't pay attention to the feet! just the shoe!

 

[InspiredBlue]

Those are very pretty shoes! I too have that dream of getting some stupidly expensive shoes for the day I get married (whenever that happens). Baby blue soled wedding loubs maybe..

 

[Miss QQ]

Hi, InspiredBlue!

How are you? I dream of a pair of loubs too.

Love the shoes, Lou! I would cut the train of my dress for them! I still can't picture my wedding shoes yet, maybe something with a flower.

I probably wouldn't wear the traditional chongsum with so much embroidery. It's very expensive too and difficult to find because of the craftsmanship. It looks like something from the imperial palace.

But I never know, maybe it will be popular again in the future and everyone starts wearing it for their weddings.

 

[Susanne]

Bimbos!

Have a great wekend you all!

I will continue watching the Soccer World Cup and I will work in my bedroom this weekend - project new vanity part 2

I will share pics with you. But I am sure I won't finish it this weekend - I still have a lot of work for school.

 

[LMD84]

i hope everybody has a great weekend!

Susanne have fun sorting out your make up area! can't wait to see how it all turns out

i have been thinking about buying a little dressing table for my room. there is one which is only £100 which would be the perfect size my the small space. plus the price is quite cheap compared to others. but the matching stool to sit on is £50 which i think it quite alot compared to the price of the table itself.

i'm at work right now though and my back is killing me. we had a large delivery yesterday and i am thinking i lifted one too many big tv's. or perhaps i slept funny? but i have takend pain killers so i hope that helps. but if a customer wants me to put a tv in their car today i will have to delcine

 

[Susanne]

Lou, take care

I was just thinking yesterday I could buy a new small flat TV for my bedroom.....

Maybe at the end of August after I will have bought my furniture and my Speedy

 

[LittleMaryJane]

Back pain sucks! I hope you feel better.

I have no set weekend plans.. I do want to get some cleaning done. I just know it's going to be HOT this weekend

 

[Susanne]

Ok, I am sure you still remember my old storage solution?

This is what it looks like today after some work:

I will make it new at the beginning of my summer vacation, middle of July. And I will get new curtains as well.

Oh, and you can see my new blow dryer and curling iron

 

[Susanne]

Oh, and MissQQ, you will marry?

Sorry, I have really stressful days, I am a bit behind I guees. Congrats!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ No, I'm not marrying.

I attended my cousin's wedding last Saturday and tomorrow will attend my co-worker's. I have been dreaming and imagining my dress with the ladies here.

Thanks for the pics! Look forward to seeing your new furniture and set up. I spy the helmer again!

Dressing table is always great for makeup addicts.

I've been thinking about getting a Helmer, thanks to Susanne's lovely lipglosses pics. I will throw out a small old cupboard if I buy the Helmer as there is no space to have both. But not so soon, maybe in late July or August.

Hope you can sit down or rest more when you are home. Better not clean for house for the time being.

I get back pain very often and the pain kills me, but luckily my work does not require me to stand all day most of the time.

This is very exciting!

Enjoy watching the World Cup too! I watched a few matches but I'm sure I'll watch more as the tournament enters the advance stages. Have been busy this two weekend. Last weekend I attended my cousin's wedding and tomorrow I'm attending my co-worker's wedding.

I took two painkillers before I went to bed last time and the medicine should cause drowsiness but I couldn't sleep until 3am or so. I have been having headache, sore throat and slight fever on and off for the past two weeks.

Maybe I should see a doctor if it doesn't go away soon.

 

[LMD84]

^ yes please go see a dr! as soon as possible. if you have been ill like that for many weeks now something isn't right somewhere

i hope you start to feel better soon

sadly my back pain is still pretty bad. but hopefully i can rest it for the rest of the weekend.

Susanne loving the pictures! it's gonna be awesome when it is all up and finished! and i love the large mirror you have bought

and you'll have to let me know what the revlon curler is like

Oops, sorry.... So congrats to your cousin!

Yes, the Helmer is great! Although I really look forward to my new Alex drawer!

I really enjoyed watching the World Cup the last two days for the whole day. Well, at least the TV was on

I hope you feel better soon, Lou!

My hair dresser has recommended me the Revlon curler - I will try it during my vacations as I have not much time during school time in the mornings and hope to find an easy routine for me.

 

[LMD84]

my back pain is almost gone today! woo hoo!

i feel so much better!

i always want to curl my hair but i can never manage it with my ghd's. i think it's because my hair is so long and thick - by the time i have done the underneeth and then the top layers the bottom part has gone flat! so if the revlon ones are good i can try them out and see if that is better and easier for me! sometimes i hate my hair. it's naturally quite wavey and a little frizzy - if it were nice beachy waves i'd be happy! but it's not!

me and nick will be playing some more mario on the wii later! should be fun

hope everybody is having a great weekend

 

[LMD84]

well i have just spend ages sorting out my make up cabinet. i had loose powder all over the place from shadows and pigments. plus i needed to do a proper dust inside. usually i dust around the products but this time i had to take everything out and do it that way. problem was i couldn't remember how i fit it all in! so putting it back to ages trying to find places for everything. i think i need one of those little organisers for my mac palettes. they take up too much room.

oh and had to wash all my brushes because i hadn't done so in about 10 days. so my dirty pot was filled to the brim and my clean brush pots were nearly empty!

not good!

 

[YLQ]

Is this like a random thoughts thread, or is it for "official bimbo" use only?

No, chit chat for everyone

 

[LMD84]

yup we welcome any random chit chat

today is my day off which means cleaning! it's actually really hot already today so will try and do all my cleaning before it gets too hot to do it! plus i need to call my dr because i forgot to get a new perscription for my tablets

so i hope they can post one to me because it takes an age getting to my dr's!

me and nick watched a film called law abiding citizen last night. i thought it was going to be an action film but it was more of a thriller and was quite gory - so not what i wanted to see before bed!

hope you are all having a great day and i hope the weather is nice!

 

[InspiredBlue]

I have been away from home for a week, and of course now that I'm back the first thing that happens is that I get a massive cold.

I am a big mucusy mess..

 

[LMD84]

make sure you stay away from dairy products if you have a cold. hubby told me stuff like milk makes more mucus

not good!

just cleaned the house and now all i have to do is put clean clothing away. but that can wait for now!

think i shall watch true blood now!
