Finally a new post! I was sick AGAIN. I'm not sure what is up with my immune system lately. Not too happy about it tho.. Boo.. I'm starting to take vitamins again and I guess I should stopped being such a nocturnal. Trying my best to be in bed by midnight and can only hope I stop getting sick!

Enough whimpering, last weekend, as I mentioned, I went to Jakarta for a short meet up (actually I had a wedding and a birthday. Quite busy weekend indeed) with my darling friends :)

Me, my sister (from Little Thing About Life), and my friend, Winny from fashion is talking about style decided to get on board with the fishtail skirt trend. Our friends told us we look like we're about to perform or something. I do think so! With our colorful outfit and our different style.. It's fun to see how one interpret a trend! Although, I must say, Winny and I have such similar styling! ;p

Apologies for the photo-frenzy.. We had a photographer on board so.. It was inevitable.. Most pictures credit to Andy Gunawan. Do visit his photography web www.andygunawan.com and prepare to be amazed <3

Last year, I did a Chocolate Love post where I did five outfit shots with a pink item in each outfit for different setting. This year, I thought it would be fun to create another five outfit shots for your Valentine Day, but this year, will be differentiate with your choice of style. It's fun to play dress up every other day!

Go for this kind of outfit when you want to be loved by everyone. Haha.. Nothing fancy or sexy but definitely chic. Your parents, boyfriend, boyfriend's parents, and even your boyfriend's ex will love you if you dress up in a cute and lovely way. Add your best smile, with a dash of your sweet manner and you are irresistible! ;p

Yes, been loving the social butterfly term for a few days.. Anyway, when you're one of that person with oh-so-many-I-can't-count friends and fans, you will want to look your absolute best at those Valentine's Day parties you've been invited to. Be the spotlight stealer with a hot pink dress and bold gold accessorizing. Go unpredictable with red shoes to paved the Socialista status. Be mysterious and friendly at the same time and you are ready to fly.

Preppy style is not limited for the A-straights-students only! It's for everybody who's feeling like looking sharp and educated on Valentine's Day. I supposed this kind of outfit will be perfect when you're going on a corporate V-Day event. Or just meeting up with your future parents-in-law for the first time ;)

Go with well-structured dress, a black and white could never go wrong, and to make it even more preppy, throw on a bold pink blazer. Remember, it's all about class, neat, and elegance.

Think approachable, cute, and demure. She's the girl you admire from afar because she always look pleasant and polite to everyone. She seems like the girl who give away cupcakes just because it's a beautiful day to bake. I supposed it's similar to Everybody's Sweetheart with less fashionable taste. Go with simple day-dress that's not too fancy, you want to get the approachable vibe. I added a modest yet adorable wooden heels with bows to complete the look. Clip-on bows and you're ready for that heart-to-heart convo.

Forget pink. Go black and rebellious with all black with leopard pattern for the cherry top. To keep the Valentine theme I wear my heart-shaped sling bag. Be sassy and go against the flow, but don't be bitchy and keep the swear words for yourself. Swear words make you look cheap and uneducated. Besides, it's a day to celebrate love. You can still be rebellious and well-mannered. Actually, I'm not sure that's possible. But looking rebellious sure doesn't mean you have to act like a rebel! Just find the perfect balance of luxe and edge <3

Hopefully everyone is having the best Valentine's Day ever. Either it be with boyfriends, family, or simply your beloved dog. I bet Cupid is extremely busy these days. Making everyone in a lovey dovey mood. LOL. I personally won't do anything special. I probably won't celebrate it at all. How sad.. But! Life is too short to be sad so I'll be awesome instead :D (thank you legendary Barney Stinson for your wise advices).

I'll just leave you with one quotes from Mary Alice of Desperate Housewives (I love a lot of her quotes but I'll keep it short for you) that has been my guide lately.. Haha..

Last Wednesday, my sister and I went to a library-themed restaurant so it's only natural I try my best to dress-up like a librarian. I paired my blue vintage top with a pastel pink midi skirt which obviously, my sister called the teacher's skirt. She told me I look like a new teacher and is looking around at this new library. I couldn't said it any better ;p

Anyway, weekend is only a few hours away. Wishing everyone a fun weekend!

I'm going away to Jakarta this weekend for yet another wedding (the fourth time in 2012) of a friend. Do bear with me about replying comments and visiting your lovely blogs. I've been lazy.. Haha.. But I'll be sure to visit your blogs super super soon!

After months of saving, I finally able to bought an IPad2 which I am so excited about and I haven't been parted with it since.. *exaggeration*

I guess you can say I'm a tech-geek.. What can I say? I love the feeling of having the latest technology on my hand (when my bank account allows it). It is useful and it entertains in you in so many ways. I supposed, these days, it will be rather difficult for us to live without technology. Technology such as handphone, IPad, IPhone, Blackberry, has been our escape and our friend when we don't feel like being a social butterfly.. And.. It keeps you busy when you have nothing to do. Like when you're waiting for a friend to meet up at a fancy cafe, or simply when you're waiting by yourself in line for your turn. It will look rather sad when you just sit and look around in public when no one to accompany you...

And as a fashion-conscious people, I also concern about how my gadget will look like. As soon as I brought home my IPad, I turned to Doco store to protect my IPad, and on the plus side, it looks super sleek and chic. I love the dark brown color, how it suits my old school personality and style at its best. Haha.. Not to mention despite the sturdyness and toughness of the cover, it's extremely light! You can also engraved your name on the placard for additional fee of only US$2! 

The store provides covers for IPad1, IPad2, Blackberry pouch for gemini, javelin, torch, dakota, and Bellagio. For Samsung Galaxy Tab, it's coming up super super soon.

Do head over to www.doco-store.com for more information and ordering!

Outfit pics are coming up this weekend!

Went to Olinda to taste Pie In The Sky. It was yummy but I'm not exactly a pie person so I wasn't entirely impressed. From my friend's apartment, we had to take a train for an hour and then another half an hour by bus. It was literally in the middle of no where.. Haha. It has tons of cute vintage stores that sells items from the past.. At least I got that vintage shoes for AUS$10 while we were waiting for our bus :)

These are the last set of pictures from my short vacation to Australia. It's sad to say yet another goodbye to this beautiful country. I love Australia, it has so much ethnicity and you can bump into people from all over the world! Hopefully, I'll soon make a return visit! <3

Went to Tarunga Zoo which was quite a trip since to get there we need to take ferry then a bus. Despite the beautiful and adorable architecture and decoration, I was quite disappointed since all the animals seemed to be hidden asleep and there were a lot of night creatures that I couldn't see :(

Made some changes to the layout.. Out of boredom.. Haha.. Been a slow Saturday!

Hope you like it!

Happy weekend, everyone!

I was going to save the best for last but I couldn't wait anymore.. Typical.. Haha

These set of pictures are my favorites since I have been dreaming to see that legendary row of colorful houses with my very own eyes. Well.. I wasn't disappointed <3

Of course, I just HAVE TO wear something colorful! I have this quirk where I always try to match to my background... My choice originally was orange (next post!) but I already wore it to Olinda. Thankfully, I still have this super cute green top with lace peter pan collar that is to die for.. Slightly exaggeration.. I exaggerate a lot lately.. But seriously, how adorable is a peter pan collar, plus, in lace??!! I keep the bottom simple with high-waisted black shorts.

Brighton, I miss you already!

PS. The wind was blowing like crazy so apologizes for similar poses with hands in the hair :p

On another topic, about a month ago, the kindest Jess from StyleSays invited me to become one of the featured stylist on their website. I basically re-create my outfit using items available on the stores all over the world. So if you are interested in this outfit (and the outfit from Clock-Hand, Please Run Faster) you can click here and purchase similar items (I try really really hard to find item that most similar).
