i'm a barbie girl in a barbie world

here is just a little taste of what i am doing on another blog. it's called Welcome to Toyland. go check it out! but yes. i hope you like it. and i will put more on my new blog :D but i will still post pictures on this blog with laken bo baken! (i spelled it right ;) )

love always,

annika

ps. it will still be a fashion blog...but with dolls...i'm not weird...i'm quirky.

i hate how you say you love me now

ebony: Supré tank and skirt, Diva necklace, Charles heels

annika: Cotton On sequin shorts, Old Navy denim shirt, Mondo flats, scarf (unknown)

laken: Cotton On Shirt, Diva headband, Forever 21 skirt, Heatwave heels

so a couple of nights ago we went to The Cookie Museum at the Esplanade Mall and drank tea along with cakes and cookies. naturally. it was really awesome! because at one point we wanted to see if we could talk thru the glass window, so laken goes outside. but then apparently we weren't there so laken freaked out. so she went outside again, but we were sitting down and giving laken "the look". so i think she is possibly going crazy but I DON'T KNOW! haha. also i apoligize for the complete grossness of me in my pictures but enjoy the beautifulness of laken and ebs!

shawtay,

annika

okay so basically, annika has already said it all. but i suppose i should probably say something....hmmm. so, we went down on the singapore river right outside the esplanade to take some shots. of course, there were lots of people around to see me almost flash my butt at the river (as seen in the second-to-last picture haha.) so we were taking our pictures fine and dandy and they were turning out really well, and then this guy comes up and is like "Hey, i'm a professional photographer! want me to take some pictures of you guys?" and we're like sure...okay those pictures were the worst ones out of all the pictures we took. like no joke, we didn't post a single one that he took lol. anywho, hope you're enjoying life (:

Don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me? Can you make this last? This plane is all I got So keep it steady, now Cause every inch you see is bruised.

laken: cotton on tank, cotton on high-waisted skirt, forever 21 necklace, im@ge turn heels, cotton on ring
ciara: forever 21 fringe tank, topshop high-waisted skirt, diva ring, mondo peep-toe heels

i don't know exactly what to write so here's ciara...oh and btw that last picture is of the fringe detailing on ciara's tank top, you just can't see it it any of the other pictures ):

Almost getting hit by a car is a thing that can motivate, exasperate, and humiliate so when we almost did, I was happy to say the infamous statement "I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR". We decided that instead of shooting this by a nice, even lighted, modern swimming pool, we would shoot it on an abandoned road, or so I was told. While on the "abandoned" road we got whisteld at, thumbs up'ed to, and Marilyn Monroe'd. Marilyn Monroe'd you may ask? Two girls, wind, and skirts. Make and educated guess.
The things us girls will do for fashion, extraordinary.

song of the shoot: bruised-Jack's Mannequin

alrighty people it's a new year! my resolutions? to complain less. to save more. to use what i have before buying more. to be kinder. to learn how to use my canon e05!! what are yours?
okay and so these collages are my favorites from 2009. yes, we only blogged for the last 2 months of that year, but we're learning, right? we're so thankful for all the support we've gotten and it's encouraged us to keep going all through next year.

laken: forever 21 dove necklace, hula co. mini dress, cotton on ring, im@ge turn heels

hola lovies. i'm in the process of moving apartments so i've been super busy still unpacking and stuff, so that's why you haven't seen me in a while i guess. annika's in hawaii (lucky butt!) so i'm stuck in singapore by myself waiting for someone to show up so i can actually have a LIFE. hahaha. i hope you all had lovely Christmases!

p.s. i don't know if this is just me being paranoid, but some people don't seem to have noticed that we are two different people! haha. so i'm laken, wavy hair. annika's my bestie, the one with the straight hair. look at our main picture if you're having any confusion(:

p.p.s. (annika thinks that sounds weird and i agree) sorry for the crappy photo quality. in the process of the move, i have misplaced my camera *AHH I KNOW. TRAGETY :'(* so i had to use photobooth on my computer. sorry, i'll try to make sure that doesn't happen again.

song of the shoot: walk you home - the passengers

YO i tell you what i want, what i really really want. So tell me what you want, what you really really want.

annika: Gap skirt, Far East shirt, The Trendy zone studded booties, cinching belt, Louis Vuitton purse

laken: Zara jeans, American Eagle tank top, Esprit Cardigan, Imageturn studded heels

sorry it's so image heavy...but anyway. laken and i walked all up and down orchard road cause i was trying to find sequin shorts. we were there for 3 hours and no sequin shorts :( so we went back to my house and decided to go to the cotton on store at anchor point. and guess what! they had them. just waiting for me. my size. and yes. they were sequined. so my life is complete :D

ziggazickahhhh, annika

quotes of the shoot:

the end. :)

annika: who sings replay?

laken: uhhh i think it's Yaz

annika: like the birth control?!!?!?!

laken: -.- yes. like the birth control.

songs of the shoot: swing by savage island, wannabe by the spice girls, replay by iyaz.

see? primary colors.

new earings. they rock.

laken: hollister top, gap skirt, topshop beanie, diva earings, mondo heels, belt (unknown)

p.s. HOLY MOLY I JUST NOTICED IM WEARING PRIMARY COLORS. haha..ok that's all(:

i'm walking on sunshine

annika: Steve Madden mary-jane heels, Abercrombie braided belt, Fortieer shirt, A Girls skirt

do you remember when peasant skirts were cool? well it was when i was like 10. and that's the time period this skirt is from. i rediscovered it the other day and noticed it was the exact same size as my waist. i can't even remember being that tiny... so now i'm turning every skirt i had when i was an itty bitty baby into a high-waisted skirt. c'est une bon idée, non?

love, annika

ps. 5 days till christmas :D

You wake up with a list of all the people you'd rather be. But you're already on everyone else's list.

laken: GB heels, coat from vietnam

okay annika forced me to post something this weekend when i SHOULD be studying for exams. but i love her so much that i must do everything she says...heh. okay so i got this coat in Sapa, Vietnam, and it is GORGEOUS. it makes me feel like a toy soldier haha idk whhyyy. again, me with the winter-clothing. I NEED SNOOOOOWWWWWWWW.
