Memory of Colours and So Much More

Some things never get old, just like this beautiful floral editorial, which was published on Feb 2005 Vogue UK.

It's 5 years old, but 'till today I can't seem to get my eyes off of it's mix of sweet girly colours.

And I do miss those days when I was in love with cardigans. I practically live my days wearing tubes or tank tops with cardigans. And mind you, my cardigans were not just normal cardigans. They were magical, at least for the 18-year-old me.

They were babyblue with daisy-formed silver sequins, knitted pink with wooden buttons, warmest grey with orange dots, wool lilac with flowers embroidery, soft beige with lace, and some other beautiful pieces. Oh, how I wish I could have them back now.

This editorial really brings back the memory. I was once a girly girl. Well, I think today I still have that part of me hidden deep within. I'm still smiling looking at those beautiful flower headpieces (aren't they the sweetest things ever?), the beige cardigan with gold buttons, the beaded grey cardigan. How lovely.

I know that nude and black are the "IT" colour lately. But seriously, a little touch of bright colours never fail to brighten up the day, don't you think?

Chic at Every Price

This gorgeous editorial could be a compilation of my favourite day-to-day looks. Just like the catchy title, Chic at every price, I'm not a particularly branded kind of person, I like browsing through cheap indie boutiques, or sometimes some clearance sale section. You will never know what kind of treasures you can find there.

Anything with clean-cut blazers, fun and chic skirts, perfect-fit shirts, a little bit of stripes or floral here and there, loose jeans or pants, cute flats or stylish wedges, voluminous free-style hair. I totally can live with those only. Simply chic!

How do you describe your daily look?

Oh My Dree



It's a girl crush..

I woke up to a dark sky

I've never been a morning person. I wake up every morning with the sun shines through my window. But a few days ago, for some reason, I woke up when it was still dark outside.

I came to realize that the dawning new day could be as friendly as the bright shining sun. They can be even more interesting. I saw indigo, aqua, orange, coral, forming a line of colors in one single sky. I saw, and I should say what I saw is beauty.






Morning, Sunshine!







Nice start for a day, eh?

I'm living in a song sung by you

I wish I could tell you with words, but no I can't. So, here's the best way for me to tell you how much work has kept me away from blogging.


How am I supposed to live without Post-it?



Have you ever felt sick in the stomach just by the sight of papers, I mean, stack of papers? I do.

My loyal bestfriends who are always there with me through (over)times. I forgot how many '69kcal' I have munched so far. By the way, they're green tea Kit Kats. Han bought them in Japan. I don't know whether they have these outside Japan or not. Do they?

A bottle of water. Actually lots of bottles of water. I sit almost all day during work, so water is very important. At least that's what I heard. When you sit most of the times, you have to drink a lot of water. Otherwise, it will harm your kidneys. Is that right?

I've been abandoning my wedding preparations. Will need to get back to it asap. For all of guys who have been asking about it, thanks for caring and asking :) It's going quite well so far, but yeah, there're always small details that need attention.

Currently I'm browsing for songs. March-in song, photo slide song, Han's song. Basically I'm listing songs. Han is going to sing in the wedding :) He's an amazing singer. I did fall in love with him because of his remarkable voice, although that's not the only reason. So, yeah, now I'm helping him to find the song. Any suggestion guys?

I'll list some of them here, so that you can comment :)
* I finally found someone - Bryan Adams and Barbra Streisand
* L.O.V.E - Olivia Ong
* You and I - Michael Buble
* Everytime I close my eyes - Babyface
* Wonderful tonight - Khalil Fong (originally by Eric Clapton)
* Unforgettable - Nat King Cole (My all-time fave!)
* With You - Josh Groban (I love this, but Han hate it)
* Beautiful Mess - Jason Mraz (This kinda reflect our relationship, but my sis said, "Why you call yourself a mess?" Well, she got a point there. But I still love the song.)
* You belong to me - Lifehouse (OST Shrek)

Guys, will really appreciate your comment and suggestions :)

Later!

May I wish for lesser hours in a day only for this week?

Han is on a business trip to Japan, again. I know it's only for a week, but still I feel kind of lonely without him, even for a day. I hate this feeling. And that explains my weird post title.

I've been spending my evening watching Korean drama with Han's sisters. I should say that it is highly addictive. The exaggerating, over-dramatic story is simply a guilty pleasure. If you're interested, you can watch "Brilliant Legacy". At first I thought the title is just ridiculous, well, I still think it is, but it's really good. Recommended.

Anyway, I just realised that I have some outfit pics that I haven't posted. It was a month ago, I think, when I was in Indonesia.


I took this picture inside my house in Indonesia. We have this small pool inside the house with some little fish inside. As you can see Indonesia is scorching hot. We have lotsss of sun there.

I was wearing:
Zara dark grey loose tee (It's super comfy)
Forever21 red high-waisted skirt
Random black fringed bag
Charles and Keith black heels
From Bali black beaded bracelet


Here's another shot inside the house. I was about to go to have dinner with my family.

I was wearing:
Zara purple drapey dress
Random beige heels
Burberry bag
Random bracelet


So, how are you, dearies?? Haven't heard from you all for quite a while, and I know I have been a bad blogger lately. I really miss updating my blog everyday. Hope I can do that again starting next week, when work is less stressful. Wish me luck, dears!
