Hello. Days have been long and cold. I guess it's the risk of living in tropics. Non-stop windy rain in summer. Despite being long, it also has been full of uncontrolled laughs. A dear friend is staying with us for a while. All over from down under Australia! Need to get my rest ASAP. Good night, bloggers :)

Hello, it's still Saturday when I'm typing this and it was one of those long day that you actually enjoy despite the exhaustion ahead cause it's simply worth it.
I often get so caught up with colors I forgot that a simple black and white combination shows class and chic and the same time. Couldn't resist but to thrown in my maroon bag to stop me from looking like a woman version of a walking Charlie Chaplin tho.
This week Sunday music is Coldplay's Paradise.
"And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, 'oh, ohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"
I believe that our finest hour is in our darkest our. There, waiting for us, is a breakthrough. So refuse any kind of giving up since you'll never know how close you are to your dream.
Have a blessed Sunday, all!

I watched a few episodes. It turned out there are several versions of Battlestar Galactica. I don't watch them that much but they are actually quite entertaining.. in a geeky way, I supposed. Lots of wormholes and "jump". Whatever. No offense, Galactica fans. What important is.. This amazing galaxy print skirt. I know it's summer, and this print sort of gives an autumn/winter vibe. However, I couldn't resist. I finally own a galaxy skirt. (And the fact that it's a asymmetrical just a plus point) Beware, Cylons!
This blazer to me, is a bittersweet combination. It can looks dainty but it can easily transform into an edgy item as well. Which is probably why I fell in love with it in the first place. Decided to take both sides, with lovely floral crown also the collar blouse and an edgy take with my leather skirt and the highest heels I own.
Floral blazer can easily looks granny-like, however, with its black color as basic, and red, yellow, plus blue vibrant color as the cherry on top, also with the zipper detailing, it screams vintage take in a modern way. You will never think of any grandmother when you saw this blazer. Enough rambling, I hope you think this blazer is as awesome as I do. And I know, I know, I haven't been blogwalking, I haven't been in the mood really. But I will reply all comments ASAP.
Happened to feel slightly old school the other day. To be honest, when do I don't feel old school? Hence, the overall feel when I'm editing the pictures lean towards vintage-y colors. Pardon.. I guess I'm contradicting myself. The tingling feel and rush when I stumble upon vintage dresses that can be so much more with just a few tweaks here and there is a curse. I cannot seem to escape them. Plus, they are so cheap and look so adorable I almost able to justify six other vintage dresses occupying my closet. One for each day of the week ;)
Been a quite slow Sunday. Planning to finish Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie with chocolates and iced tea then perhaps.. a decent online shopping? As I received email notifications of July collections uploaded from some of my favorite stores. Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday!
And ignore my rambling below.. I just feel like I need to share it!

This week Sunday music is Kelly Clarkson's Dark Side.
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Oh how the truth rings and pinch you in gentle way. I always keep my dark side confined. Display only the part of me that everybody want to see. All my naughtiness and selfish passions, are folded up small and placed at the bottom, and on the top, beautifully aired, are spread out the prettier me, ready for me to put on. In my childish brain, I don't think people will like me when I show my true self. And how sad that thought is, don't you think? Cause that means I have zero to none of true friend. It's the trust issue-thing that I'm still working on. Wish me luck?
Also, wishing you to have those people who love you just the way your beautiful self. Who ready to pick you up when you fall. Dust you off. Kiss you. Forgive you. Put up with you. Carry you. And never ceased to encourage you to be the best version of you. So while you're broken, one thing is true, you don't have to be alone.
Happy 4th of July! A day late, I know. I thought I joined the Independence day merriment in a subtle way by wearing USA flag colors. A touch of blue, white, and red.
Been a really long day but so happy cause I got my dream blazer at 50% off! This sale season is dangerous, people. I'm not even kidding! Hopefully everybody is keeping warm tonight (it is freezing here in my room, for some reason, typing in PJ's over sweater!) and wishing you a good night sleep.

My sister and I've been meaning to visit our friend's cafe for what it seems like forever, and we finally did! With no sense of direction, relied only at our friend's text, we arrived and had a delightful tea time <3
"Sometimes since I've been in the garden I've looked up through trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something were pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of Magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden--in all the places. The Magic in this garden has made me stand up and know I am going to live.." - Colin Craven from The Secret Garden.
Hello, hopefully everybody is well and staying cool in the summer heat. Just finished reading The Secret Garden and been imagining a garden of my own. However, wearing a garden of flowers in my skirt should suffice for now. If you ever stumble upon this skirt, do buy it! You can click
here to buy it online if you're Indonesian. It has such a pretty pastel colors and it seems to go with everything. Plus, the buttons are in heart shapes. Yes, I love cute details. Planning to wear this all summer long.
Good day, all :)

First of all, apologies for such wrinkly dress! I own an iron, I promise you.
I'm not sure if this dress is available at Romwe.com since I got it as a present from the store. I love the backless detail although I'm not that daring to wear it without the blouse. Ended up not liking it that much, however, I feel like I should show you that even bloggers are having trouble with mix and matching outfit!
Just got home from my church birthday. The event went smoothly and I did mess up a few steps, as predicted, but I let go since I know I've given it my all. Besides, the event was about God, not about the dancers! Feeling tired beyond belief, considering I woke up at 3 in the morning for hair and make up, but relieved at the same time. Going to hit the bed hard tonight.
Hopefully all of you are having a lovely Sunday!
It's been a while since I post a Sunday Music so here it is :
I don't ask for a lot. No, nothing more than I need.
Cause I love what I got, don't need to play the lottery
I just want to be strong
At the end of the road, I don't want to hold on
I want the strength to let go
Lyrics from Sweet Serendipity by Lee Dewyze
It's a highly recommended song. It has such beautiful and wise lyrics behind the catchy tunes :)
