Hi, everyone.

Lately I have been noticing this microtrend where people would wear a girly floral dress and then top it off with a baseball hat. It's a juxtaposition of girly and boyish vibe that somehow works and creates an interesting look. That's why I thought I'd give this combo a try and I don't hate the result.

Hi, everyone.

Daisy embroidery or even just a daisy pattern always looks cute and it gives your outfit a very spring spirit. I find it hard to find daisy pattern or embroidered daisy piece that I love while also keeping it budget friendly; so I thought maybe I should just DIY it. Therefore without further ado, here are three daisy patch DIY ideas to get your outfit spring ready.

Hi, everyone.

Spring is in the air and it's the perfect time to bring out your flowery perfumes. I find spring to be my favorite season to wear perfumes since the weather is not too cold where scents are just gone and it's not too hot where scents are amplified tenfold because of the heat. Flowery scent is also my favorite type hence I do have quite a collection of perfumes that are very spring.

Hi, guys!

Styled, shoot, and edited SEVEN spring looks just for you! It's quite a hardwork from thinking of seven different spring trends, shooting every weekend for 2 weeks, then turned out there were some faulty setting (my bad) that we need to re-shoot two looks, until finding my way around the new upgraded Final Cut Pro; boy o boy it has been quite a month.

Itinerary for that Saturday included a coffee meet up with friends and a movie afterwards (I think this is what I wore to watch Fast Furious 8) so the idea is to look cute and yet still warm for the always-so-chilly theatre air-con. I did brought a floral scarf with me which I put inside the bag since it looks too crowded with the embroidery on my blouse. P.S. I am in love with this blouse. Wear it all the time even after I finish my Ten for Ten.

This simple lime dress had me fall in love at first sight that I just have to get it. The choker neckline is a fun trend and I have two more tops with this kind of neckline already. Granted, on hot days this neckline feels like choking you but on colder days it kind of gives you warmth!

Do you like this choker neckline trend?

This set of photos are from a rooftop garden in one of the mall here in my town. I didn't expect much but I guess spring has truly arrived! Everything is in full bloom and every flower is just oh-so-pretty. Definitely will come back again for more outfit photos :)

Wishing everyone a great midweek!

Pastel perfect on a cloudy day. Don't let the blue sky behind me fool you! I got no sunshine on the location of my shoot yet my background is crystal blue. Hmm.. Global warming?

Still can't get over how cute my yellow bag looks in photos (and real life). I am still battling to get the grey one or not because I'm not one of those person who stocks one item they like in plenty of colors. I believe one's closet should be as diverse as possible.

Excuse my pale face! When I took this pics, I forgot to reapply my lipgloss. Anyway, that's probably not what you care about since spring is in full force with flowers blooming everywhere. I must say, I love this particular season mostly because my style fits very well with spring. I love flowery prints, pastels, and light layering. What is your favorite season?

"The world is getting busier and louder with each passing moment and you get so caught up in the frenzy of it all that there isn't time any more just to sit under the tree or by the lake and listen to the still, small voice of your Creator. But if you would do that, if you would listen, you would hear the most beautiful words; God loves you."- Monica from Touched by An Angel series.

About a week ago, I decided to get this I love Paris wall-sticker. This is super easy to do, no hazzle, no ugly remark after, and surprisingly gives my room a fresh air!

I have been a prisoner to my own bed due to a heavy flu followed by cough and a series of headaches, and this sticker has been my one and only consolation. All better now, thank God. Nothing fancier than spending an entire weekend in bed, eh?

Wishing all of you a healthier weekend than mine!

Happy Sunday and be blessed, all..

It is Spring right here in Bandung. Well, to be fair, we don't have winter at all so basically we see green all year around. But the sky has brighten up and although rain still pours down every now and then, we definitely greeted with the sunlight more than a month before. Hence, the pastels are all out to play. Thanks to Khaloong for this delicate pearl collar necklace! It adds just enough elegantness (is that a word? I'm not sure) to a somewhat sweet humble outfit. Loving the white and pastel colors combo these days. Couldn't get enough of them!

Anyway, I'm sorry if I haven't been blogwalking and replying comments as per usual. I have been out of it lately. I mistyped a lot. Miscommunicate a lot. And even didn't get a good night sleep very often. My unexpected post was up there not for nothing. Life has been a series of unexpected events. Not that they are unfortunate. That I haven't quite seem to figure out. But a girl should keep her prayers hard, her faith in check, and belive things will work out for the best.

And I guess we fell apart in the usual way.
And the story’s got dust on every page,
But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now.
And I see your face in every crowd.

Wishing everyone a super duper sweet weekend!

If you are a long time reader (if not, check out the last post), you must have noticed that my hair suddenly gotten longer overnight.. Thanks to the secret shampoo.. which is not existed. Ever wonder how people get those luscious locks? They seem to own it effortlessly which is quite annoying cause I personally always envy girls with long healthy looking hair and strive to have one like them! But long hair requires exhausting care and I personally can't afford long hair because it starts to fall. The answer for those? Cheap human hair extensions of course. 

At first I thought human hair is way too creepy but then again, the plastic ones look.. well.. plastic while the extension from human hair looks more natural and if you choose the right shade, it looks like you do have super long hair! The benefit of owning a hair extension is you can have long seductive shiny hair anytime you want. It seriously gives you a more glamorous look, or even a whimsical one when it paires with a flower crown like I do. The downside is ofcourse, the weight and the heat from all those layers. But I really think Spring is a perfect time to try something new! And you can get your own hair extensions online here.

I have been using IPhone since January and I absolutely head over heels with all the accesories (example, my IPhone cover. cue : crazy cat lady in the house) ! One of my weakness other then vintage items, is adorable good-for-nothing item. Hence, this blue macaroon shaped pluggie with pink ribbon for IPhone just begging to be mine. Fine, pluggie can actually protect the hole used for ear phones from dust, so I guess it has one benefit.. Thanks to JelyShop for this absolutely darling pluggie! Follow their Instagram : @JelyShop and do not hesitate to shop there cause the items are super cute with cheap prices!

"Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing direction. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. The storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine" - Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

Fell in love already with the first page of this book <3 nbsp="">

Spring is definitely my favorite season because I can finally pull out all my flowery items out of the closet. A dear reader of my blog actually gives a really good nickname for my style which is "Forever Spring" style.

A lot of people called my style vintage or sweet but I actually have lots of black and always love anything acid washed and studded items! Plus, I have a girl crush on Kristen Stewart grungy style. That girl can do no wrong in my book (in term of style, of course, not the behavior!) 

Anyway, I didn't say much cause I have an upcoming throatsore thanks to all the iced coffee that I have been gulping for the past week (it has been really hot in the afternoon and rained at night so I have been drinking iced coffee more often than ever. bye bye white teeth! ) so I am saving my voice for the next vlog :)

This week Sunday music is all songs in Taylor Swift' Red album.

Kidding, well, not really. I actually love all the songs. It has been a while since I like one whole album. The last time was Daughtry' Leave This Town album.

My favorite song from the album is Treacherous.

This slope is treacherous

This path is reckless

This slope is treacherous

and I, I, I like it

I can't decide if it's a choice getting swept away

I hear the sound of my own voice

Asking you to stay

and all we are is skin and bone

Trained to get along
