Kau sahabatku, kau teman sejati

Was supposed to fly kite with my girls but since none of us were keen on pulling a Benjamin Franklin's experiment, we thus felt that braving the merciless lightning was definitely not an option. Hence, we sat down, had a good chat and laughed until the cows come home. Great times, great company, great, great friends.

p/s: This burgundy velvet leggings really does go well with this peach lace.

Namun aku tetap aku

Went out solely to catch Prince of Persia, which happens to be my guy's favourite game of all time. Anyway, when I saw that the next cinema was playing Sex and the City 2, I exclaimed, "Oh! Sex and the City 2 is out already?!" Instantaneoulsy my guy went, "Since when do you like to watch this?" Well, true that. And before you yell out that I might be living under a rock, I will say first that I am just not fond of these kind of movies. The kind where women only feel empowered when they have the other sex by their side. Having said that, while they have never been my cup of tea, I do enjoy browsing through the captures from the film, just to see what they are wearing.

The motorcycle goggles

It's been years, perhaps eight maybe, that I've been on a hunt for that pair of perfect eye wear. Although I am fond of aviator shades, I am not keen on how the frame touches my face when I wear it. So my search continues for that perfect shades that I termed as the "motorcycle goggles". I am not sure if you guys remember, but I termed it as such after I watch the movie, Terminator 2, back when I was a kid. You see, back then, I was very amazed by Linda Hamilton's goggles that I've become obsessed with finding one like that. But of course, the search has been to no avail. Well, in these times, even finding sun clips seems like finding a needle in a haystack.

My fetish resurfaced after I saw this guy donning a similar pair. (Image via here)

This shade is gorgeous. Oh sun clips, where are thou? (Image via here)

And my relentless quest continues... *

Mestinya perbedaan bukan alasan untuk tak saling memahami

Was decked in a dainty lace blouse and velvet pants on a very gloomy day. To top it off, I donned my cropped jacket which have not seen daylight in years. But of course, since it is always humid after it rains, the cropped jacket thus never stayed on for long. And oh, I found this fierce lady while searching for velvet drop crotch pants.

p/s: By right, I should be in Bali now. And oh. Pardon me but blardy he** to grainy pictures. Perhaps I should change to another photo uploader.

Senyumanmu selalu menghiasi mimpiku

So the intention was to have an early dinner then off to the cinema to watch a movie. But I guess we are just one of those people who can never make or adhere to a plan. We prefer to go anywhere as we please, pretty much to go with the flow. So today turned out to be a jalan-jalan (Malay for leisurely walk) date coupled with snippet of deep conversations. That was then followed by a purchase of velvet leggings in an intense shade of burgundy and a bag load of hair bands. And oh, like a deer caught in the headlights much? I have plenty of these caught off guard shots.

p/s: People were really amused by these bunny ears. And so was my guy.

Selamat Hari Ibu

And to all mothers out there, Happy Mother's Day to you too!

May purchases: Pants

I'm one happy bunny. Today my guy surprised me with two pair of pants. When I asked him why he got these, he shrugged it off and said, "I haven't gotten you anything in a long time." Thank you love. Sayangmu selalu. Anyhow, one of it is a black acid wash pants with pixilation prints. Even if I already have two of these in my possession, still, another pair won't hurt right? The other is a black velvet drop-crotch pants with front pleats. Now it is rather safe to say that at the mention of velvet, the first thing that comes to mind is, "cushion covers" or "stage curtains". Albeit the questionable impression that one has of this luxurious material, one cannot deny that when don immaculately, velvet can depict sophistication and perhaps even nobility. With that said, I do acknowledge that while I’m head over heels over them, it will indeed be complicated to pull this pants off. For now, I will leave you with runway inspiration for velvet in Fall 2010.

*Skinny velvet pants in black for the sleek and minimalist look.

*Other than pants, there were also velvet scarves and tops.

Apart from Alexander Wang, Zac Posen Fall 2010 also featured velvet in hot crimson.

p/s: And just so you know, after I tried on the velvet pants, my guy could not stop singing MC Hammer - Can't touch this. Tsk.

KBS Drama: Becoming a Billionaire

My dear cousin told me, "Once you go Korean, you'll never turn back." True to her words, I was hooked the moment my remote control landed on Korean channel, KBS. Back when I was a teen, a dear friend introduced me to a heartbreaking Korean drama. Now it seems that I am reliving my teenage years. Becoming a Billionaire is my recent drama addiction. One of the reasons for me being plastered to the television is due to the glorious clothes worn by the two main lead actresses. These are just a few that I have found. And oh my, I am just at awe over Korean designer Lie Sang Bong's Fall 2010 Collection. Who would have thought armours could actually be this wearable?
