Holiday wardrobe

The top is XL, nice but didn't buy it.

Madness @ Forever21



It's my first time!!


Day 3 -3½ actually :)

Crazy for accessories

So that concludes my holiday wardrobe. It's quite basic actually. I only brought with me:
- 2 dresses
- 2 cardigans
- few tops
- 1 jeans
- 1 short
- 1 belt
- 1 stocking

And the brown Next sling bag which I especially bought for the occasion.

For footwear I brought along my cute flats which served me well and a pink flip flops.

I hope I didn't leave out anything as I'm running out of time to post pictures. I will be back for more stuff from the holiday.

Toodles :)

A Quiet Week

There's nothing much to do this past few weeks, and still I can't get enough sleep.

Never gonna miss a chance to play with my wardrobe, though.

Not that there's much to play with, but it seems to be the only thing I do with all my heart. Willingly. Full-heartedly. Voluntarily. As shallow as it may seems, I just love it. Who doesn't anyway?

It's been a quiet week. Everyone is getting old and slow, I suppose.

Out on a dinner

And I have my hair cut... too short than what I expected.

Side swept bangs

Kimmy doll bangs

Like I've said, it's been a really quiet week. Quiet.... like you can hear your neighbor's snoring.
Errr......I don't know why I said that.
But, it's just so quiet. Quiet is good though.

Me saying, " Hmm... what's wrong with a quiet long weekend?"
On me was a flowery blouse which I got from Gaudi, with my most favorite black shorts, my mum's old straw bag (actually I kind of raided it from her) and gold buckled heels.

And most importantly, accessories.
What I love here is the multi colors combination and the studs.
I'm head over heels with studs recently.
They're not really studs anyway. Look closer. Anyway..... anything that resembles is tolerable, in my case at least. ^.*

And my life will be more complete if I have a pair of studded shoes.
It's on top of my wish list.

Maybe I'll dream about buying studded shoes in my sleep tonight.
Crazy.

Adios.

Out and About on A Sunday Night

Went out for a dinner at a restaurant with the gang. What we did, besides pumping more fat into our bodies, was of course taking pictures in -as usual- the restroom, which happened to have bold wallpaper.
The truth is I'm kinda sick of seeing the wallpaper. Maybe because I have seen it too much on many ppl's photos, but there's no choice . It seemed to be the best background available.
The downside of all the pictures taken, after I've noticed, is the angle of the background taken is inconsistent.
Some are taken from the left side, some from the right side and some from the center.
Not in harmony.
I have to do a lot of cropping.
Imperfection.

I understand it's hard to be perfect and sometimes perfection seems impossible.
Would it be ridiculous to hire a personal photographer who follows us everywhere only to take our pictures for the sake of this blog ?
Now, that would be a total insanity.



Ngelic in white tanks, denim shorts, black cropped blazer and nude heels.
Told ya, she's the play-it-safe girl.
Through this post, I challenge her to be bolder in her style.
Ngelic, do you hear me?
.
.
.
Most of the time she won't and just walk out on me.



Angel in off-white over-sized shirt, black leggings, blue purse and gold rubber flats.
The shoes she is wearing is the best purchase ever. 34,900 rupiahs, can you believe it?



Fran in pink dress, stretched denim blazer, denim flats and pink sling bag.
Look at the way she posed, like a pro....



While me, in white tee, black shorts, denim blazer, tan bucket purse and the 34,900 rupiahs black rubber flats.



And next......

Accessories (owners respectively from top to bottom) :


Rattle snake bangles and necklace



Pearl bracelets on the left hand and chanel-inspired bracelet on the right



Chanel inspired bracelet on the left hand and black cuff with gold trim on the right

That's all for today.

Adioss.....

Blazer, I Love You

I just got this new white blazer and last Saturday nite was her premiere night.
I think I am a deluded fool cause I constantly refer to my belongings as 'she' or 'her', as though they were alive (which I guess they do, for I have breathed lives into them each). Hahaha.



New love, here worn with dark blue owl t-shirt (burhan shirt, that's what my sis and I named it), folded skinny jeans, tan T-bar heels and blue sling bag.
I've been meaning to buy a pair of nice cropped pants (denim especially or black and cotton particularly). I've searched high and low but to no avail.
If it's not the sky-high price then it's the teeny weeny size that keep me from having them.
Medan women are mostly -if not all- very very petite and small that I think the radii of my thigh is the diameter of their waists.
I'm an outcast, I think.



Devia has the grey one, which is equally pretty. And I was this close to buy the grey one too, but I didn't (after a long battle with my conscience, of course).
Hers was worn with cropped harem pants and red tanks, clutch and pointy flats



My sister, Ngelic.
Her costume that nite was polkadot tiered dress and nude heels.
She is the type who always sticks with her classic style with basic colors. Never will you see her wearing blue purse and red shoes at the same time (if you get what I mean).



Devia's bracelets.
Pink studded bracelet!!! My heart melts.
I'm not a fan of pink, but still this particular one is exceptional. Still considering whether to buy or not.



My accessories for that night.
Layered gold bracelet and multi color bangle.
Red, green, black and white. Who would have thought that they would make such a great combo?

That's all for now.

Adios, fashionistas....

A Nice Gift

A student's parent returned from vacation and gave me this:



The soft yellow color caught my eyes and I instantly fell in love with the packaging.
Since there's another box of chocolate inside the paper bag, my first thought of the content was "Ahhh...... mint candies and chocolate. Niceee....".

What is inside, however, is this:



Trio sultry colors eye shadow. OMG.

Stupidity is me. It was clearly written "skin food. sugar bloom shadow box" on the front part, only an idiot would miss it (that would be me).

Anywan, i love ittt.............(the gift, i mean).

Thanks!! And adios!!

Accessories Corner

I love accessories and I hardly ever throw away my purchases because I value them very much. Every single piece has a history and although it's not a designer piece, I still love them all with all my heart.
But I do give some away when their time is due, meaning I am fully aware with my age. I can't stay young forever, so some which are no longer age-appropriate (for me) has to go.

I store my bangles (big and chunky ones) in a transparent box.
I made a bangle holder to keep them organized in the box.



I now realize I am a conservative person when it comes to bangles. So lifeless. Monotone. I need splashes of colors. I am a colorful person.



I keep most of my earrings (old, vintage, new...you name it) on these earring holders.
When three earring stands have reached their maximum capacity, I made my own earrings holders (as mentioned in the previous post).



Rather old earrings



Most-often worn earrings



Another group of old earrings, but still wearable



DIY stuff

Then there is this plastic chest of mini drawers.



The first drawer is for various kinds of bracelets and bangles.



The second drawer is for various types of scrunchies, hair pins, hair ornaments, hair clips, I don't know, you just name it.
When my hair was long back then, I loved buying different hair accessories. I still keep them, cause who knows I might grow my hair long again next time around.



The third drawer is also for storing hair accessories.
This drawer is especially for those with crystals, diamentes or those made of vulnerable material. I wrap them each in a separate plastic wrapper to keep the ornaments from falling apart.



This red Pucca rack is an even mini-er version of mini drawers.
One of my students gave it to me as a birthday present a few years ago.



Inside the drawers are earrings (again), but most of them are loop earrings.



The top part is a flap, with a mini mirror, for rings and small studded earrings.



Now this two are for accessories I seldom (or no longer) wear.



This is for oldies necklaces, wrapped individually to prevent them for aging. Crazy.



This is for vintage bracelets. Plaited, beaded and the likes.



This baby blue container comes with adjustable spaces. There are mini plates for the purpose as you can see in the picture.
The original function is meant for storing stationery like paper clips, pins and the likes. Instead, I use it for storing the bling-bling ( fake ones of course) accessories.
I'm not really fond of this type of accessories. Too many bling shouts "fake" too loudly.
However, they are very useful when attending formal parties that require elegant lady-like dress codes. Although they are not real diamonds (Korean products), but they sparkle under spotlights.
Imagine what real diamonds can do.






There was a time I was really crazy about head bands. I still love head bands, but not as frenzied as I was before. This is where I put them, in a knitted green container (I wonder if it was handmade).






Last but not least ( for accessories department and she is new) is a pink cloth container bought in a nearby traditional market, which comes with separate spaces.
The pink bangle is the first resident. You see, there are still many empty spaces for its upcoming sisters.
OMG I'm insane.



As for my make-up stuff, I throw all of them in this big brown pouch.
The front pocket is for eye shadows, blushers and everything square and round in shape.
The second pocket is for all that come in pencil shape and for brushes.
I don't have as many brushes as Fran. I can't distinguish which brush serves what purpose. I need more tutorial, while Fran is a pro in that department, thanks to youtube online make-up tutorial.



After writing this post, I realize one more other thing : that all the containers are not in harmony. They are like a city full of different races and colors. Hahaha.
Multi racial containers.
In the future, if I were rich, they would have a more decent place to stay in. Something more coordinated and uniform with similar color. A custom-made accessories corner. Even better if I could have my own walk-in closet.
Woohooo.
Just imagining it gives such me a thrill.

The end.

Adios.
