I've always loved the European street styles. Sprinkles of something preppy, something chic, something effortless, something classic and some attitude make the whole look screams WHOAAAA....CRAZY ASS THING!!!! or IYESHHHH....THAT ROCKS!!!! or MANNN, COOL............!!!!!

So on a dinner night with Angel and Angela, I grabbed this (peterpan collar blouse) and that (navy dress) and this (oxford ankle boots) from my wardrobe and put them together and this is it : Preppy Chic in my version. :D

All outfit is from my online shop.
HAVE YOU VISITED IT AND LOOKED AROUND??
If yes, thank you pumpkins :D.
If no, WHATRUWAITINGFOR????

I've been thinking of wearing my layered pearl necklace for some time. Gotta admit pearl necklace is a bit difficult to pull as you don't want to look old wearing it. Minimizing other accessories is the best way to avoid looking like you are a granny wearing pearls with lots of Botox. LOL.

Image quality in the above two pics are crappy cause they're taken from Blackberry camera. Edited a bit still can't help the blurry effect.

And I figured out another way to not look old in pearl, which is ..... by doing peace sign like this :

LOLS.
I wonder if I got the "WHOAAA CRAZY ASS THING!!!!" remark from people here in Medan. LOLS
Lotsa love from preppy chica :D :D

Sisterhood of Black and White

My sister and I unknowingly wore the same theme that night, Black and White. When I came to pick her up, it's a surprise to see her outfit that night. Whoaaaa, the girl played androgyny and I loved it!!!! :D :D :D

Cut out top is cute, eh?

There!!! Tuxedo Chic is what I call this. :D

Sisterhood of Black and White

Had some yummy fatty baked potatoes topped with cheese

Black and white photo to complete the feel :D

Blue + Mustard = Yummy Bluetard

When I first saw this Topshop mustard tiered peter pan collar blouse (what a long name), I was love struck.
I was in a Kuala Lumpur mall and I had been spending too long time already in this Topshop outlet and everyone was already waiting for me to finish my shopping and on my way to the cashier I spotted the blouse and I just grabbed it without even trying it on. LOL. It's all about spontaneity and speed, huh?

Love at first sight is never wrong :D

And then there's this satin mary jane I ordered from June + Julia :

The picture is taken from their website

And I thought mustard and blue is kinda cute, so here goes :

Yippieee.......

Online Shop Attack

You know there are lots of online shops offering shoe making service recently.
It's like gambling, if you're lucky enough, your shoe request will pretty much meet your expectation.

Like this pair, it copied the model of YSL tribute. I can say that I neither love nor hate the result. The heels aren't shaky and overall it's acceptable for a 200,000 something IDR shoes. :D
And most importantly, they are not fake shoes. In my opinion, it's just like Topshop copying Givenchy's chiffon wedges or other high street brands copying other designers' stuff, you know what I mean.

And you can see that the result is way way way different in many ways from the authentic ones, especially when craftsmanship is the subject. You know one thing is never wrong : Price never lies.

YSL Tribute Suede Sandals

Online shop's creation LOL

Not bad, except that I hate the straps, the color is too contrast from the fake suede

Actually there is one other pair which I ordered from a different online shop which made this pair, but the result is too hideous, so hideous that I can't lay my eyes on it for the second time.

Was expecting a girly fringe strappy suede heels, instead what came wasn't even close to fringes, but resembling thick creme rice noodles (and it took two months to make such horrible pair of shoes). I'm super disappointed and don't even bother to text her to complain.
Didn't take the picture because my camera will suffer from malfunction capturing such horrified object.

So, if you like, you can visit Myhobbyshop on Facebook to order some shoes you like. They provide various shoe models for you to choose. However, I recommend you not to order from ShoeVettish Shop cause you might end up receiving rice noodle shop like I did.

Talking about shopping online, Fran and I are truly avid lovers. Honestly, we never get people who DON'T love online shopping because IT IS SO FREAKIN' FUN.

This navy tulle skirt and ruffle sleeveless top is from one online shop "I Forget The Name".
Not bad for a 100,000 something IDR stuff.

The mint green polkadot loose tops is from Fran, and she got it from Just Wanderlust. She's a sweetie pie. Buy from her please, visit her online shop.
