Tsubota Pearl Lighters

I confess. I smoke. And I know how nasty my bad habit is. I'm planning to quit, but I was just thinking, why not go for chic while I'm still doing it? So, I searched high and low for good-looking accessories, because the best I can do is buy the disposable Bic. Initially, I was going for the popular brand Zippo, but after asking around I discovered another brand that satisfies my love for good design - Tsubota Pearl from Japan.

Just take a look at how sleek these are:

 

 

And here's a set to indulge my (very bad, tsk tsk) vice:

I swear I'm gonna stop real soon..

Here Comes The Rebel

So I'm off to get a police clearance for work, but not after I've blogged for a few minutes. I just had to share what I'm planning to wear on Friday for the new hire orientation. I'm excited about it, and because I would love to leave a good impression, I thought hard and long about what my outfit should be. I was thinking of showing a bit of my rock and roll side (I swear, I do have one!), so meet the rebel:

I do not own the exact same items, they just look similar to the ones I already have (like the olive jacket, but mine's not leather, the fabric just made it look like one). It's basically an inspiration board which I'm planning to make more of.

Gotta hit the pavement now. Later!
