Apparently, I am really committing to this monochromatic life (and posing with my hand in my hair. lol) as per two weeks ago. Never thought I would ever be departed from my beloved floral pastel pieces but as per 2016, I have been rocking a lot of black and white. I don't own a lot of monochromatic items in my closet so it's an excuse to shop even more.. Getting whites are easy since it's summer but black items are quite hard to come by these days so naturally, I resorted to shop said item online.

In the name of acquiring more monochromatic items, I have been exploring every web-store I could think of in my free time which is one my favorite thing to do except when it comes to checking out the cart because that means I have to pay these items that I may not need but I want ;)
If you ever get the same feeling as me, you can check out shop2day which provides online credit shopping service. It's convenient in terms you can choose a weekly or monthly installments.. There is also a "buy now pay later" option! Never heard of that so do get your information correctly to avoid unnecessary risk.

Apologies it took quite some time from my high end highlighter post to this one! I was having too much fun with my Mary Lou and Opal highlighters. Here are my drugstore highlighters :
City Color Highlight Trio
OFRA You Dew You Highlighter
elf Baked Highlighter in Moonlight Pearls
elf Baked Highlighter in Blush Gems
NYX HD Blush in Soft Spoken
NYX Liquid Illuminator in Sunbeam


Here we are talking about yet another new coffee place in my beloved Bandung city. The new coffee shop is called Mimiti Coffee & Space located at Karangsari (near Vermont. Read my Vermont review here). Not gonna lie, I was rather impressed with the ambience. It reminds me of some coffee shop in Melbourne. Although it is an industrial minimalist design throughout the entire space.

The outdoor space is not practical in any way especially since the weather is starting to get really hot. Not to mention the unpredictable summer rain. The inside is small, there are only four small tables so I wouldn't recommend bringing a big group of friends. 



My HongKong Shopping Report makes it to top 10 every now and then. I wanted to do Singapore Shopping Report for a while (since I went there once a year) but never follow through so here it is finally typing this post. Now let's get to my Singapore Shopping Haul!


These two tops are from The Editor's Market. I looove The Editor's Market. They always have cool stuff and I never leave without a shopping bag in hand. The white top is a hit, I got so many compliments when I wore it. The black top kind of have that Esmeralda vibe with its off shoulder and rouching details. Just cute.
The Editor's Market is available at 313 Somerset, Orchard Cineleisure, and Wheelock Place.
Hello there!

First of all, apologies for being so absent. If you have tried to visit me in the past week, you'll notice that my website was down. I missed a "domain parking" payment and as the result my website cannot be accessed. It has been a lengthy week trying to get The Sweetest Escape back but I am thankful for my tech-savvy friends who has done everything and now we are back in business!

And I also have to mention that my keyboard is broken. I'm not sure what happened but the whole QWERTYUIOP line cannot be typed. I am actually typing on my IPad and when I'm finished, I'll email it to myself and just copy paste it to blogger. So redundant but what choice do I have? Will definitely get them fix soon.
Hello, there!
I hope everybody is having a good Saturday with your loved ones. I'm back with a sponsored post this time is from Tbdress which provides beautiful dresses and also, a full section for men! From outfit to belts to shoes. 
Since it is the season of prom, we are going to talk about prom dresses. The website have a whole bunch of Tbdress cute prom dresses 2016 sales from which you can choose from. I took the liberty and browsed around their Tbdress cheap prom dresses 2016 online section and find my top 5 choices. These are a mix of Tbdress modest prom dresses collections and also the sexy ones, and of course, something in the middle that is not too sexy but not too modest.



What time is it? Summertime, it's all vacation! (High School Musical fan forever here)
Can't help but to always sing that song like a total goof when it's June. Anyway, it's finally summer and we all want to achieve that beautiful healthy summer-glow. I have only been using highlighter in the past two months but I have been loving it so much I think you can categorized me as a highlighter hoarder (especially drugstore ones). Obviously you only need one or two highlighter and you're good for the next two years because there are a lot of product even in just a single highlighter.

So excited that Wayward Pines (TV Series) is back! If you like thriller and mystery you should definitely check this series out. They only starting season two now so you're not missing out too much. Anyway, making the pine trees on my outfit photos background to fit to the title.. LOL. I know, I'm terrible at puns but I just love making them.
Well, I hope everybody is having a good week so far :)


Hello!
So if you haven't heard already, matte lip is the it girl of beauty world these days. Everybody raved about it and if you're one of those person who just want to try out this matte lip trend and you're not sure if you're going to love it (trust me, you will), also you couldn't care less if it's a liquid lipstick, a lipstick, or a lip crayon for that matter, you can check out these 3 brands that provides amazing products for under $10 (150k rupiah).

In the past two months I have acquired 10 brands of matte lip products to test it out and make sure I did my research! I have tried (1) Jordana Sweet Cream Matte Cream Liquid Lip Color, (2) City Color Be Matte Lipstick, (3) e.l.f Studio Matte Lip Color Lipstick, (4) LA Girl Matte Pigment Lipgloss, (5) NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, (6) Wet n Wild Mega Last Matte Lipstick, (7) Nabi Matte Long Lasting Lipgloss, (8) L'oreal Paris Color Riche Matte Lipstick, (9) Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color, (10) ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Liquid Lipstick
Ten brands and that is only the tip of the iceberg. There are a tons more out there but those are the ones that I have seen frequently circulating around in the beauty world.


Hello, there!
For some reason my Givenchy antigona mini review and Furla metropolis mini review always manage to be in the top 5 of my most read posts week after week.. Therefore, here it is another mini review of a new bag I just acquired a few weeks back : Coach Swagger 20 in bicolor. I believe the color is called Beechwood.

I first saw this bag around last year; because I follow Chloe G. Moretz (she's just the coolest) at instagram and it turns out she is the new face of Coach and she was posing with this beautiful bag and it turns out to be the newest bag in their line called The Swagger.
I think Stuart Vevers as their new Creative Director did an excellent job at reaching out to the younger crowd because when I remember Coach, I'll remember bags that are just classic but not trendy in any means.


Keeping it floral until the summer! I can't believe I've forgotten about this skirt for so long. . . I think it has been almost a month I just let this beauty number hidden away. Anyway, just popping in real quick because I just got home from Singapore and I need to unpack and then having buyer's remorse of all these stuff I bought for all night long. Maybe a haul post later? 
Well, outfit details below!
