Wishlist: Summer Holiday

All I want for my (dreamy) beach getaway this holiday is Karen Walker sunnies and a pair of these orange Havaianas espadrilles...

 Although, I wouldn't mind having this Stella McCartney bag to carry to the white sandy beach...

 AND, this gorgeous white ISSA dress so I would look glowing instead of sweaty in the heat, hmm...

That's all, really!

Cover Girl

Gwen Stefani - the woman who had evolved throughout the years, and successfully achieved her best style as she aged in motherhood. She is my favourite cover girl!

I also love the fact that on one of her recent covers, Elle UK, they didn't do much editing you could actually see the freckles on her arm. Ridiculous body for a mother though, pffft.. 'Nuff said.

Current Obsession

A few years back, I was obsessed with this type of sandals that I saw several times on the streets. Sometimes last year, my sister re-introduced me to these sandals and I'm now officially obsessed with these bohemian-style sandals! You can change the straps with different patterns and style them in so many ways, you can never get enough. I give you, Napaktilas..

Ooh may I add, cutest packaging as well!

Frock Me Vintage #2

 Red is the colour of the season! So, it's been more than 4 months since I last posted. Now that the pregnancy is over and the baby has arrived, I am officially sleep deprived and ecstatic at the same time. More on that later on..

Back to red. Oh la la, I am so fascinated with the reds, tangerine, and other orange hues that are everywhere from the red carpet to the street style. Such a fresh look from the pastel minimalist trend that I, have for quite some time enjoyed, am now bored of.

I think this dress definitely represents a strong lady like personality. Hello Joan Harris!

Neat pleats with lovely belt detail. Somehow very oldskool Dior (unfortunately, no, it's not a vintage Dior!).

The turban was also inspired by Mad Men of course. It's a silk batik print scarf in magenta.

Last but not least, a gorgeous pair of red on white vintage Halston heels! Again, Nadiya's own collection. Pfft...

The Jumpsuit, Overalls, Playsuit and everything else...

Oh, how I missed wearing clothes without thinking the belly would get in the way. Don't get me wrong, as much as I love being pregnant with massive tummy, I do miss wearing my old clothes sometimes. The skinny jeans, the figure hugging "Joan Harris" dresses, and most of all, the jumpsuit/ overalls or whatever they called the one-piece suits that are everywhere at the chain stores. 

Not to worry though, my daily outfit still consists the harem pants or the maxi dress. They are probably the most comfortable pieces of clothing for mom-to-be's and they're still on trend! Only a couple weeks until this proud mama could get back on her high heels and jumpsuits! =D

Frock Me Vintage #1

I've been having this idea in my head that I wanted to do something new for the blog. So I decided to do a feature every now and then, called 'Frock Me Vintage". I would style my sister, Nadiya, in our vintage dresses, and basically tell her to pose, ha! With the help of my hubby as the photographer, we finally shot some pictures.

 The inspiration was nautical. I only thought about it when I put together the blue dress and the scarf.

The details of this dress, like the cut and buttons, definitely feel sailor-ey to me.
 

Love the scarf! Which I found in mum's drawer. It's basically mine now.. =P

Vintage shoes are Stuart Weitzman, Nadiya's own collection.

Sheer Romance

The idea of the sheer fabric caught in a light in this picture actually was not something that I did on purpose. However, I was quite pleased on how it came out. So I got to thinking of how pretty drapery sheer clothing is. It exudes romance and prettiness - and here I am listening to Michael Jackson''P.Y.T, just the perfect soundtrack!

 

Whether it's made of tulle, chiffon, sheer satin, soft lace, I think it never goes out of style. The lingerie trend probably does intoxicate me as I see them everywhere, from catwalk images on the internet, to high-end chain stores. Inspired by the Sheer Romance, I hereby present you some of my favourite pieces from my online-window-shopping (is there such thing?!).. Toodles..

'Black Summer'

A couple of weeks ago we went to our dear friends' exhibition presenting a new collection from PotMeetsPop Denim called "Black Summer". The denim collection was a collaboration with The Sigit, one of the coolest Rock & Roll bands on this earth! I've always loved the band and was excited to see the result of this perfect collaboration.

The details were just right, the hidden rivet, rope, and aahh, the words of wisdom!

So that's all from me for tonight. I am now going to rest my sore thigh and bottom that have been giving pain for me all day. Aahh, the drama of the growing belly! =)

Oops, almost forgot to give you the link to their website, doh.. click here!

Nadiya's Birthday!

OH, I am so inconsistent with my posting schedule, although I promised myself I would post more when I got a new notebook, pfftt..

Anyway, last month was my little sister birthday and she invited her friends over to our house. I'm not the type who really celebrates my birthday, so I was happy to see my sister had good laughs with her friends. On top of it all, she was gifted with colourful yummy cakes! YAY!

Cheers

Rafika Duri - Tersiksa Lagi (DTX summer bootleg) by DTX

Today, I'm posting a song I really like to accompany this gloomy rainy summer season. It was remixed by my talented dear cousin from an old Indonesian pop song. This song is so dreamy and has a vintage feel to it, I could just picture old movie flicks with flowing summer dresses on pretty 70's girls..
