I cannot believe its March already, time flies in a snap I guess. Its been awhile since the last time I had a vacation elsewhere and I really need a new scenery or at least somewhere to go. Any recommendation on where should I go next ? Life has been busy as usual and if I may, I wish to take a little break to breathe a fresh air and out from daily errands only for a little while though. I don't really have something exciting for the moment but I am looking forward to something, a project that I have in mind. Stay tune guys and to be honest, I post more stuff on my Instagram so do take a look and have a great week !

First of all, I would like to say Happy Chinese New Year to those who celebrate and lets welcome this year of Goat with an open heart and open mind. May this year be a year full of blessing and prosperity not only in things you do but also to your health. Let us have a fun year ahead :) 

Despite the fact I'm in the midst of hectic preparation for family gathering, I set a time to post this up (talking about being dedicated, :P). Anyway, this is not my cny outfit but I took this just 2 nights before so yeah its pretty recent. Rocking this new clutch that My bro brought over from down under, fyi I'm not a small bag type of person (I used to carry big bags just for the sake to put everything in - hahaha). I have a tendency to bring everything and since I am a bit clean-freak, I used to have tissue, wet tissue, and hand sanitiser - MUST HAVE ! So yeah, small bag is not my thing, but believe me this clutch can hold many things and I was quite impressed ! Thinking myself to get another one of this baby in different colour or material of course. What do you think of this simple outfit ideas ?

Manly stars.

I don't know whether you guys noticed or not but I have dyed my hair a lighter shades of brown before I went to Sydney. Somehow for me I like my hair this way, what do you guys think ? In fact, I want it to be a bit lighter, one shade lighter perhaps ? So, I love strolling around the beaches, I love listening to the sound of the waves when it hit the shore and oh how I love the smell of the beach (I literally can spend the entire day just sitting on the beach reading my novels and enjoying my much so needed me time). However, I hate seagull pun intended ! I hate the way they brings out loud noises and don't start with the risk of them poo-ing, why can't they be more friendly like other types of birds... But oh well, let just enjoy the nature :) Despite I heard some of the areas in Jakarta are flooded, I hope everything goes well cos Valentine's day is approaching ! Pray to those who are affected and I hope everything is fine. Do let me know if any of you may need help, I will try my best to help you guys.

Here comes the food galore :))

Christmas in style.

From Kenzo to Saint Laurent, Santa definitely can rock fashion-forward look. Despite its famous red costumes, it seems Santa got style this year. Illustration by Joint London clearly express the notion "oldie but goodie", who might ever think that Santa can rock the latest Wang collection and look how he casually put on the Kenzo hat from last season. What about you ? What is your christmas look ? Its not necessarily have to be in red or green hues, be creative this year ! Happy holidays peeps :)

Italy in frames.

Not only that Italy is famous as a city of fashion, but it also famous for its amazing architecture around the city. I can wander all day long by myself just looking at those old building with amazing statue, Oh how I miss Italy. Despite it was summer by the time I got there, but trust me the summer is way hotter than you can think. Almost as hot as Sydney around summer, yeah 40 celsius is not friendly at all. I was in awe when I first reached there and I wished I had enough time to take outfit photos but well time is not in my favour but all in all, I enjoyed my time there. So we went to Trevi Fountain, for those who watch Lizzie Mcguire movie back in the days, this fountain reminded me of one of the movie scene here. Its a fountain of love, where people usually throw coins into the fountain and expectedly to find love in near future. I am not so into those kind of myth, but for fun we do it anyway haha. Next to the place, there is this good gelato place and trust me the gelato is amazing !!! As good as il freddo dolce in Melbourne, Ohh now I want ice cream. Have a great holidays guys ! 

This is what I'm talking about, mint chocolate chip & vanilla gelato
