MIX AND MATCH TRAVEL OUTFITS  I always found myself in a quandary. Uncertain and dilemma of choosing the appropriate travel attire. Hehe. And I realized that I buy new clothes quite often before. But now being a student, if you want to travel, you really have to prioritize. Fixed income no more, I can't really spend money on things that I don't even need. Even though I'm dying to do so! Sobsss. Rather than buying new clothes every time I travel, which I think I still do this consistently hehe, I try to limit my spending as much as I can. I bought everything almost, always on clearance. Hiks. So the white sarung I've been wearing in Greece of course it looks identical, because it really is. Hehe. Just try to mix and match every once and a while. In order to keep my luggage at weight that I can carry, I have to learn how to pack lightly which I think I'm doing good at the moment. Hiks. I don't always check my luggage for obvious reason, I don't want to spend another 15£ on something unnecessary.  And I haven't worn baju kurung in ages! I have not realized how much I've missed them until I put this white baju kurung on! Baju pinjam je ni anyway, I haven't brought any. Hehe. Since the last few years of my working days, I have been obsessed with kurung modern and not normal baju kurung in general, which is not best to run in for sure. But it looks good, I think. Haha. Gosh I have missed those. Just a random thought :) Labels: Fashion, Greece, Santorini, Travel 
BANDUNG #OOTD 
I've been wearing too much black lately. Bukan berkabung kasih tak kesampaian ke apa hahaha, tapi untuk ilusi optik semata-mata sobs. IT'S A FUNERAL FOR MY FAT! Sigh. I gained weight sooo easily sekarang ni. Haih. Penat!
 On a separate note, he said dia terasa gila pulak dah. Haih. Bukan ke orang yang patut terasa dalam hal ni adalah iols? Now I'm all confused. Siapa yang arrogant sekarang ni? Dia cakap lagi, next time sila jangan lari, dia bukannya makan orang pun. Hahaha. But then, tatau bila la next time tu, hopefully takkan ada dah la scene yang macam "we-bumped-into-each-other" tu lagi. So awkward. Cukup-cukupla rasa suka pada orang yang tak pasti. Jangan rosakkan hati sendiri. #selfreminder. And I'm obviously at war with my own feelings. It's funny how life can change, kan? Hate to admit, but true. Well, life always has its surprises :). Good night. Labels: Bandung, Fashion, Random, Travel

PRADA LACE FOR SALE It has been a while since my last post. Haih. Apa nak buat. I have been so busy with various activities. Medical check-up, vaccination jab lah, duk keluar masuk hospital semua benda pun nak kena settle. Hmm, too many things to do and too little time. Hehe. Macam orang lain tak busy je kan kekdahnya. Well... to be fair, I'm so lazy lately. Malas nak buat apa-apa. Sobs. So anyway, there have been lots of exciting things going on. :) My family and I will be going to Jakarta and Bandung again in mid December! Hehe. Ok this will be my last trip for 2013. Then lepastu, I'll close my travel book. Trip kali ni so personal sebab I paid the flight tickets for all of us. Hehe. Beli dah lama, last year lepas dapat bonus. Tak mahal pun, dalam RM96 each. Ok lah kot kan. Tapinya, flight tickets je la yang mampu bayarkan. Yang lain? Bahaha. Memang ujung-ujung sama je lah konsepnya. But anyway, it's the thought that counts :) So since I'm going to Bandung real soon, I'm thrilled to announce that I am now taking pre-orders for your very own Prada Lace! Hehehe. Ada banyak jenis tapi these are my fav. Sila cuci mata.  ROSE    FLOWER  Instagram credit: Nisa Mazbar  LEAF 
Hehe. So kalau tak sure nak buat baju macam mana, please refer below. I'm so going to do exactly like this. Kali ni nak buat kain pulak. Mermaid skirt.
Tapi baju dia kita tukar sikit. Baju yang Nora Danish pakai masa Raya 2012 for Innai Red still my most fav kot until now. I have a lot dah hahaha. I just love love love the cutting. So baju plain and prada lace mermaid skirt! Hehe. What colour should I buy then? Hiks.
And bawah ni ada lagi collection from Syaiful Baharim. So cantik. Tapi tak konfiden nak pakai uols. Macam nak tunang jah gayanya. Kekeke. Cantiknya body akak Maya Karin ni.

SALAM MAAL HIJRAH 1435H  Salam Maal Hijrah :).Semoga tahun ini lebih baik dari tahun-tahun sebelumnya. So... Happy New Year my brothers and sisters! Hehe. Dah lama tak guna istilah brothers and sisters. There were times in UIA, brothers and sisters are frequently used. Rindu my good old days. Gambar atas ni was taken during our Bosphorus tour in Istanbul, Turkey. Sangat lawa. Breathtaking cruise. I really had no idea how colourful, gorgeous and unique was Istanbul's waterfront. Very scenic and so lovely :). And this is so random, but I just want to share this.  "Basic Fatihah" in black and navy blue. So simple tapi macam sangat effortless dress gitu or should I call it jubah? Hehe. FashionValet and Love To Dress are having a sale of 40% now. So hurry grab yours. Stock clearance kot before new designs coming in. I really can't wait sebabnya baju-baju dia nampak decent. Elegance in modesty gitu. Hahaha. So I've purchased the black one, belum sampai lagi. If best pakai, might probably I'll get another one in blue ni. So far, I've already bought "Vintage Jannah" and I love that dress so so so much! Fabric material and cutting, semua pun so comfy.   Hehe thank you Love To Dress for featuring my picture. Im surprised and flattered. :). And I really can't wait for their new collection soon in December inshaaAllah. Here the sneak peek;   Cantiknya Masya Allah. What a fashion statement kan. Monochrome fuschia and black. Tsk tsk. I am so in love. Hehe. Ok enough of that. Jangan risau, ni bukan iklan berbayar pun. Haha. Saja share something that I like.  Ok, nak kena sambung kerja. Working at home kekdahnya. Sobs. 3 tax computations waiting to be reviewed. 4 hari cuti, macam biasa last minit baru nak terhegeh-hegeh. Kekeke. Have a nice day peeps! Labels: Fashion, Random, Umrah
DRESS GALORE FALL / WINTER COLLECTION  The Chaos  The English  The Rise of Pua Kumbu So kali ni, macam teringin nak try Mazlianul Maznan's ready-to-wear (RTW) collection. Her colour use is so lovely. My most favorite yang 'The Rise of Pua Kumbu' tu. Tapi material dia, heavy lycra. Takut melekap sangat pulak kan. Jadinya kita ambik yang 'The Chaos' ni, crepe silk material. But I'm having problem with my own size. Haha. Benci kan kalau kena beli online ni. Tapi memang cantik semua dress Mazlianul Maznan and I love them all. Picture credit : Mazlianul Maznan Facebook Oh yes, I'm on leave today! Hehe. But I've got to run an errand. Buat passport! Lagi satu, My International English Language Testing System (IELTS) result will out this Friday. Please pray for me.  Dah lama tak ambik exam, nervousnya macam apa je. Haha.Bye and have a nice day :)
BAJU RAYA 2013  Macam biasa, kalau baju pelik-pelik ni, dah sah-sah la kena tiru #retis kan. Keke. So I copy Marsha Milan Londoh. Tapi kalau tengok dia ni pakai nampak cantik langsing kaki panjang. Sobssss. Fida pakai nampak kembang di situ yer. Choii. Whatevs.  Sama tapi tak serupa. Hehe. Rasanya yang Marsha ni pakai from Mimpi Kita which I can't afford at the moment. Mahal, ahkak belum nak cukup duit lagi. Tapi Mimpi Kita punya Raya collection this year mmg to die for. Cantik sangat-sangat. And Syomir Izwa's. Cantik ok I'll plan to buy soon maybe in December or January. Hehe. Motip beli after raya? Buat stock. Haha. Teringin. Mana lah tahu boleh pakai dekat UK nanti? Hahaha *cough cough*. Tadi jugak ada jamuan raya Utusan, our client. So I bumped into Marsha Milan ni ha. Haha. And tokti. And few others. Tak ingat siapa dah. So flawless tokti ok. Duit banyak kan maintenance dia pun sah-sah tinggi untuk dapatkan that kulit. Tsk. Cantikkkkknyaa kulitt dia. I is jelly. Kak Sitiii, pandang sini please. Hehe. 
NEXT TRAVEL OUTFITS  
Can't wait to wear this out, baby! Hehe.
On a separate note, he doesn't like me. Yes, I get the message he doesn't have feelings for me the way I have feelings for him. But I hate the fact that I would always think of him. He is the last person before sleep and the first person when I wake up whom I think of. Big problem kan. And even worst, I can't see him anymore in our same time. I've been blocked. Sad but true. You don't have to make it so apparent, just not replying my message is sufficient. :( But it is not his fault at all. I've blocked someone too before and yes what goes around comes around.
I'm mad at myself, I cried, I cry whatevs. But when things work otherwise, I hate it so much. But he can't be blamed. I'm sorry but I like you. I'm so sorry I dragged you into this. And I'm so sorry for everything. :'(.
I'm just trying my best to move on. This is so foreign for me too. But I understand it well and clear. I wish I can hate him, honestly. But I can't.
And this is my last, or maybe second last post about him. I need to go somewhere, clear my mind, and love myself more.
AIDILFITRI 2013 #OOTD Repost #OOTD, outfit of the day :)  D A Y 1

Emerald green peplum.
So, 3 hari je sempat beraya. Ada few lagi baju raya tak pakai ;p. Hehe. What to do, super busy. But then, finally I'm back! Peak season is over, alhamdulillah. And that was the worst peak period ever. Masa last day submission haritu (15 August 2013), I didn't sleep from 6.00am to 11.30pm the next day! You do the math. Zombi, dark circles, eye bags. Semua ada, complete set. Deadlines, you really drive me nuts!
And I gain weight easily during Ramadhan. Sobs. So anyway, sesiapa yang faham ataupun terbaca tentang proses obsession yang bermula bulan lepas, the obsession is still going strong. Hmm. Bukan sayang, bukan cinta, that's way too serious, too soon. Entahlah. Tapi ni suka yang sangat-sangat. Kalau ada yang tanya kenapa suka dia, I have no answers. Do you need reasons to like someone? Ya Allah perasaan ni sangat-sangat kuat, I can't handle. Ultimately deep.
I truly love the facts that he is highly ambitious, workaholic and passionate in his work. And I stepped out of my comfort zone to make the first moves to know him better. And you wouldn't believe what I have done or will do for him. Hmm. I don't know what will be the outcome, Allah sebaik-baik perancang. Tapi, I'm willing to take the risk if it doesn't turn out the way I hope. Kecewa yang teramat sangat, yes. Tapi entahlah. If I could turn back time :(. I need to go somewhere to clear my mind. Dia terlalu menggangu. Everyday kan, I pray and I hope to see him, tapi ironinya, kalau dah terserempak tu, lari macam tak cukup tanah! Haha. :(. My confidence level is very very low. So sad, I hate myself!
Sorry this post is very personal. But I can't help. "I am woman. And when I think, I must speak." - Beyonce. Hehe.

VINTAGE JANNAH This is lovely. 
I'm so in love. Credit to Fashion Valet and Love To Dress. Might get this dress for my Turkey trip. Hehe. Tapi tak tau what would the weather be like nanti mid September dekat Turkey sana. Adakah sejuk atau suam-suam kuku sajork?
Hagia Sophia + dress = perfect combo. No? Hahaha. Mula dah start berangan. 1 month plus to go and I have a mission kat sana nanti! Hehe. 
Cantiknya ciptaan Allah. This girl is so pretty. She's wearing vintage jannah. I need to get this baju asap!

LACE LAYERED KURUNG 
Melinda Looi Raya collection for THEPOPLOOK. Love at first sight ok. So classy. Hehe. Pastel green is so lovely. Sobs.
 And it's no secret that I drooled over "Prada lace". Mission accomplished I bought my lace in Pasar Baru, Bandung. Kaler? Pearl white. Macam kaler nak bertunang katanya. Kuikui. Tapi of course ini hanyalah baju raya sahaja. Hahaha. Over sangat baju raya kau jah. Dah siap hantar lace ni dengan gambar baju Melinda Looi dekat my tailor and dia kata, auntie will try. Oh, please auntie I can't afford that Melinda Looi. Hahaha. RM420 ok. Tsk. Tapi auntie ni pun charge boleh tahan mahal, campur harga kain siap dengan full lining bagai... Ujung-ujung, lebih kurang jah harganya. Sobs. Pejam mata je lah. Dah kau nak sangat. Selayaknya lah kena dengan harga tu. Maybe I should have just purchased that Melinda Looi. Hmmm. Satu lagi problem, I need to lose weight. Sejak duk layan Cik Ta dekat Masterchef Selebriti nih, her body memang is to die for. Anak berapa orang dah Cik Ta ni? Body solid. Curvy. Sangat cantik. Mohon Astro keluarkan rancangan masak Cik Ta host. Sebab dia adalah sangat kelakar and jenis tak kesah orang ahahaha. Cik Ta, I laffff you. 
And this is my bed time story tonight :). Only you. Thank you Helmi and Kak Fara. Kalau ada cerita yang sad ending, please let me know. Kenapa?
Sebab...
Sad ending is always most memorable. Labels: Bandung, Fashion, Random
KIMONO CARDI  RUMAH MODE, BANDUNG
Kimono is an alternative to jacket, sweater, cardigan etc. So, terpaksalah beli kan? Hehe. I bought mine from AL-HUMAIRA CONTEMPORARY. Online shopping macam biasa. Hehe. Ada banyak colours but these are my favorite.
 Sekarang ni, I'm searching for flowery kimono style ataupun printed kimono tops that can be worn with a plain, black tops or T-shirt or over a solid dress. It's just perfect for beach vacation! Tak ke? Hehe. #BaliAkuDatang. Kimono ni lebih kurang macam light jacket lepastu pulak layerable in warm beach skirts camtu. Oh no. Hahaha. Berangan dah Fida nih.   
Retis Hollywood pun duk pakai asian inspired tops. Cantiknya yang atas ni. Dah pesan kat my friends suruh beli satu, flowery kimono top, pastel green. Aina and Kin, sila beli cepat!! Hehehe.
  
Oh baby, I need one!
Good night :)
