universe

I couldn't have been happier when I received this simple but stunning dress in my mailbox from one of my favorite local designers, Nina Nikicio. I've always loved her minimalist approach towards fashion. Her basic line, NN:02, is like Indonesia's own T by Alexander Wang while her latest Mixté collection is a blend of city sleek with slight hints of grunge. These photo sets were actually inspired by Nikicio's Project 04 Paper Dresses (yes you read that right.. a dress made out of paper), the re-turn dress had this sunset photo printed on it, so I thought, why not try the universe instead of just the sun on the black dress and dark hair of mine?

The Tailback Tee

most people associate camel as the it color for this fall. As I'm living in the tropics, i cant really go with the camel outfit combination that are present in the runway shows (despite how much i love them!) The weather is just too hot (I was already sweating in this jacket when I took the photos). After some discussion with my friends a couple days ago, it's surprising that they find camel a color that's very formal, conservative, and mature. I don't think that true at all. I guess all sorts of colors can be young fresh, edgy, feminine, or whatever you're aiming for as long as you pair them with the right pieces. For today's outfit, I went out of my neutral and basic pieces to keep the camel jacket fresh looking fresh and not too formal. Added the floral shorts and heart-shaped glasses to make it even more fresh and spring-y instead of winter-y.

Garage Sale in 17

thanks to everyone who wished me good luck for the garage sale, the event went through wayyyyy better than I thought it would be. I thought I'd still have time to get a nice dinner in between the sales, but turns out I have to keep my butt on my stand until 8 before I could grab a bite. Most of the things I (and Diana) brought were sold. I'll put up some of the unsold items on the blog shop when I have time. Here are some snaps I shot during my mini free times. I even forgot to take pictures of myself due to the hectic-ness !
I guess I'll just leave it to the pictures for the talking !



my garage sale buddy Diana of Call Me Diiiyn

my dinner basically consisted of tall skinny green tea frappe, sour sally pinklicious froyo, and more yogurt I ate when I reached home. too much dairy and calcium i guess...

colored tanks.. I brought about 20 and went home with 2 pieces left..

Demure

not to brag or anything, but one of the best things I like about myself is that I can dress in different styles depending on my mood or the occasion. This time I decided to dress the way I used to dress the whole time (yup my style was very classic and elegant before I started exploring different styles via fashion blogging) before I started blogging. This would also be the type of outfit my mom would wear. Embellished A-line skirts, feminine blouses, and a great pair of dainty femme soles. I used to tell my mom how much I hated her pointed shoes (i called them "genie" shoes back then), and now I sorta "ate my own words" because I love pointed shoes thanks to Prada & Louis Vuitton.

This was also the first time I started experimenting with my new external flash. I would have never guessed that a tiny flash device could change my photos drastically. I'm currently saving up to get one of those wireless triggers so I can place the flash in a spot where my photos would be "creatively" lit up. Thinking of taking some photographer courses after I graduate to fiddle more on lighting. Up to this point, my lighting source has always been the sun or bulbs.

I'll start to write my camera settings and kit for every photo post now as I'm getting alot of questions about the camera. these were all shot using sigma 30mm at f/1.4, ISO 200, and I forgot to note the shutter speed (I think they were about 1/5sec)


I'm soooo glad that I've finished my midterm exams. They were totally dreadful and they were bad for my blog updates (..and my undereye circles). Good thing is that I think I did pretty okay in them. I don't care much about the grades, but it's the effort that counts for me. What matters is that I tried my very best. Good thing that all of my college nightmare will be over by December. I can't wait to put my graduation cap anytime soon ! I missed mine during high school because I didn't finish my IB programme and went ahead for college with my GCSE results. anyway, i got really personal today because I just feel like it. I feel like my blog has been missing alot of diary like entries these days. perhaps I should write more about my personal life ? yes no ? :)

you're still welcomed to ask questions for my q&a posts ! I've received great ones over the past week and im looking forward for more :)
