So the leaves are turning brown and starting to take a dive to the ground. Sure enough we love it now. With the colder weather that doesn't make our hair looking limp. But I'm sure soon we will miss the colorful flowers and the warm sunrays on our skin and the hot coffee we have every morning.

These pictures were taken about a month ago on my latest short trip to Singapore. 

I thought I post it before we miss colors too badly.. 

To Summer!

PS. Apologies for falling off the grid. Been a little busy bee. Off in the morning and back after sun down. Will try to get back to comments super duper soon!

"Early on she had confessed a pleasure in danger. She was right about that. It was there like a joker, something that did not quite fit in her nature. There were always to be discoveries about her, some of them as small as that wink on the pier in Aden when she wanted me to guess at something. But a good part of her world, as I would come to know later, long after our time on the Oronsay , she kept to herself, and I have come to realize that the gentleness of manner I spoke must have grown naturally out of a disguised life." - Michael Ondaatje, The Cat's Table

I love discovering another side of me. God is so complicated and I gues humans are a complicated being with unpredictable sides as well. Yes, I can be contemplative and quiet but once every blue moon, I got all dancy and chirpy. Please click this link and like our dancing video :)

PS. I am so sorry I have been really out of touch with all of your lovely blogs. I haven't replied comments for what it seems like forever. Or blogwalking, for that matter. Please continue to come back and relentlessy leave comment as I'm sure at some point I will reply! Your patience is highly appreciated.

This outfit is slightly different than my usual getup. When I'm not strolling around in my floral and vintage dresses, I wake up in my velvet and studded + ombre denim jacket. That's just how I do.

Hello, 23 year old me. Yes, I am indeed a year older. Last year has been amazing. I don't feel like I changed that much. But I do change, for the better I hope. It's funny when I think about the fact that when I was younger, I always thought about how much I have gained or how much I have accomplished in the past year? These days, all I'm thinking is about how I haven't love enough, I haven't touch enough hearts, I haven't give enough, I haven't create enough smiles in someone else's face, and most importantly, I haven't serve Him enough. I guess it's just me getting older inside. 

So this paragraph is dedicated to my parents, my sisters, my adorable grandma, all of my relatives, my deceased dog, my real-life friends, my blogger friends, and everyone whose path crossed mine. I am grateful for each and every one of you. You guys put colors in my life.

I can not say thank you enough for my God, my rock and my refugee, my biggest motivator, my consolation, my source of peacefulness, and my restless guardian. All I want in the end is just to hear You say "well done".

So here's to another year of more love, more new friends, and more smile :)

top - Velvet, cat printed skirt - c/o Sammydress , bag - vintage, wedges - BTC

Fall this way come! I always relate fall with rich and deep colors. I especially love this skirt sent by the kind Amy from Sammydress because the color reminds me of fallen leaves. Also, the adorable cat prints all over this twirling skirt just add the plus point. The fabric is light and almost chiffon-like which makes it perfect to layer it with stockings in the colder weather. This skirt also comes with pockets! I always think pockets are crucial for busy people so they can reach their phone quickly or in my case, hiding my camera remote! Not that I'm busy.. 

Sammydress has plenty of cutesy items and with much cheaper price! So ditch other sites that sells overpriced items and head over to Sammydress. Which, contrary to the name, do sell dresses, but not dresses alone.

Hopefully all of you is having a lovely day.

To live on a day-to-day basis is insufficient for human beings; we need to transcend, transport, escape; . . . . We may seek, too, a relaxing inhibitions that makes it easier to bond with each other, or transports that make our consciousness of time and mortality easier to bear. We seek a holiday from our inner and outer restrictions, a more intense sense of the here and now, the beauty and value of the world we live in. -- Olive Sacks

Monday is here once again. Hopefully everybody survive this day. Including me. Good luck for us!

baroque printed chiffon shirt - The Editor's Market, lace shorts - Sisterz, collar necklace - c/o Juerii

I got two packages waiting for me at home when I got back from my Singapore trip. It was the best thing you could ask at one thirthy in the morning after a LONG day. One of them is this meticulously gorgeous necklace from Juerii. I love collar necklaces, considering I sort of obsessed with collars. I have three so far and I'm only looking forward to add more to the collection.

As for the shirt, baroque prints remind me of my mom's younger days. When I was ten years old and remembering my mom looking really cool in those prints. She doesn't wear baroque prints anymore but this shirt gets a nod from her. I have another baroque prints item in the shopping cart as well. Maybe I am developing a love for baroque prints.

Anyways, hopefully all of you are having a great weekend!

Don't forget to wink and say hi to September too.
