Paris Tee - Original Finch, white skirt - Velvet

I have never been a make up kind of girl, I have always been a bags or outers (especially blazers) kind of girl but when the red lips trend rose, I was actually interested and started itching to give it a try. I started out very simple (and cheap) with Oriflame Radiant Red but after starting to get used to it, I upgraded my lipstick to YSL Rouge Pur Couture 01 which is so much brighter than the previous one. It feels soft, buttery, and it lasts so much longer than my Oriflame. It's definitely a keeper.

"-- that's the only purpose grand enough for a human life. Not just to love -- but to persist in love.
     She paused. Bees drummed their sound into the air. August retrieved her hands from the pile on my chest, but I left mine there.
"This Mary I'm talking about sits in your heart all day long saying "Lily, you are my everlasting home. Don't you ever be afraid. I am enough. We are enough."
     I closed my eyes, and in the coolness of morning, there among the bees, I felt for one clear instant  moment what she was talking about.
    When I opened my eyes, August was nowhere around. I looked back toward the house and saw her crossing the yard, her white dress catching the light.

The passage is from The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.

I was invited to the pre-launching event of  Lenovo S850 and I was assigned to create a buzz about this gadget for all fashion concious people out there (read it HERE) . This gadget tagline is #stylesnapshare which is basically what I do everytime I do a blogpost. The 5MP front camera is a favorit to take selfie with my friends while the 13MP main camera at the back is great for taking your #ootd with the scenery.

flats - Nine West, MAC bag - Rebecca Minkoff

First of all, apologies for low quality pictures! I left my iphone at home because my charger was broken but all is good now :)
I don't feel like doing a review.. Well maybe just a quick one. Considering that this place is new and I don't see plenty of reviews out there. 

Hi, guys!
I posted my honey lemon shot on instagram two weeks ago and my friends as well as followers have been asking questions about this shot. I took it for 6 days and then stopped because I ran out of lemons. I started again two days ago and I thought I'll just do a post to explain all of your questions. 

I have never been a fan of Louis Vuitton monogram and hence, I steer away from the brand. But upon having a chance to entered their amazing headquarter store at Champs du Elysses, I stumble upon the epi leather items and I irrecovably fell in love. It was magic.
Yes this BB Alma is way to small to be an everyday bag but I didn't buy this pretty baby to be an everyday bag afterall. I bought this to be something which I only pull out for special occasions because this bag is special to me. It's my very first high-end bag on my very first Europe trip. You can bet I will cherish this bag until I can pass it down to my daughter/nieces.

Anyway, let's have a good Monday!


When thinking about what I want to wear the next day, I always pick one or two key pieces that I want to highlight that day. Today is the day for Lenovo S850 in hot pink! I keep everything in neutrals to make sure the pink color pops in screen. Although all items that I wear is in black and white, I make sure it has different textures such as my lace top and a fun print like my polkadot shorts which I just have to match with my polkadot headband. After taking my outfit of the day, I continue by posting it on my blog and media social accounts. So my daily activities are basically #StyleSnapShare. Which also happens to be Lenovo S850 tagline, making this gadget a new favorite in the family.

On Tuesday, Lenovo host a pre-launching event at Yeyo Lobby & Eatery. It was an intimate event with around 50 people and I was so happy to be able to attend the event considering I am based in Bandung while the event was in Jakarta. Anyway, we had a hearty meal and then a Stylish/Stylist workshop from a Gogirl! Magazine fashion stylist (so much good knowledge!) after that there's a small mix and match challenge with fellow bloggers. I had fun despite feeling tired thanks to my aching feet. It was all worth it because of the amazing surprise at the end!

When I met you in the summer to my heartbeat sound
We fell in love as the leaves turned brown
We can be together baby
As long as skies are blue

Attended a cousin' wedding last weekend and I wore my favorite fuschia lace dress for the church ceremony and slip in to a more glamorous dress for the evening which I also love thanks to the gorgeous back detailing. Hopefully you all had a wonderful weekend!

Finally I try out having a high tea with my favorite people! I'm not going to do a review because it's not exactly a new place and there are so many great posts about this place already (here is one) and it has been open since 2011. So it's not exactly a newcomer but I was excited to try the high tea set (mine is 2 tier cost 150k rupiah). The cakes tastes okay but the pudding (the orange one) was way too bitter. The cupcakes on the glasses are good. Other than that, it's a satisfying menu for two or three people for exactly around three to five PM.

I have been having a white obsession these days. It seems everything white attracts my attention and I have been piling up a good amount of white tops. I love how it brightens up the face. Although it is a handful when you're eating or having your coffee break! It is so hard to keep them spotless and I have to conciously eating or drinking carefully.
Anyway, wishing all of you a great midweek!

Two weeks ago my friends and I decided to try Booster Society. The place is relatively new. Opened in early 2014 and we finally visited this little cafe. The building is quite small but it is located on the big road so you shouldn't have problem finding it. We didn't exaclty heard a lot of buzzing about this particular cafe but it didn't stop us to venture every new place in town :)

A few weeks ago I went to Singapore with a friend (okay okay my main reason was to check out Fendi 2Jours bag that I have been lusting about for over a year, and finally took the plunge to get one! Check out my review of the bag here) and we happily went all touristy! I love Singapore, I truly do. It's a fun getaway that doesn't cost much money. And it's different with Bali (which is great for a beach getaway) because to be honest, I never shopped anything in Bali except for the delicious Pia Legong and pie susu (milky pie). And since the Great Sale period was still ongoing, I did bring a few new items home. Do you think Singapore is a nice getaway country?
