Prom dress shopping...*sighs*

So on Saturday i went prom dress shopping with a very picky friend on mine we spent SIX HOURS on our feet searching for the "perfect" dress!!!

I never thought that shopping in LONDON would be so difficult!!

The girl has now official put me off shopping lol

So I picked a range of dresses to prove that just because they look ugly on the hanger, it doesn't meant they look ugly on you!

These dresses were from debenhams in Westfields shopping centre and House of frasier in Oxford street

My favourite is the white one, but im not sure if i'll buy it - at £150 ill be broke!!!

So enjoy and comment!

Grecian dream

Barefoot today (but only in the picture).

It's the essence of summer though isn't it? Flowy clothes and denim and barefoot. Srumdiliumcious. I love having my hair in a top knot too, it's rather freeing, I must say.

I'm going to Australia on Tuesday. So excited, I need a new shopping environment BADLY.

Looks like denim, feels like felt

This was the outfit I wore yesterday and yesterday was a completely random day when it was supposed to be sad and sentimental since it was the last day (maybe) that I would ever see my friend Cindy in a long time. Don't get me wrong, it was, but we ended up planning out budgets for visiting and traveling places. We kinda suck at it but we knew that maybe it was the best this way.

I love you my kinder bueno! <3 <3 <3

Burlesque prom

Last night was my senior prom and it was pretty awesome. Everyone was gorgeously dressed and it was sentimental, happy and sad all at the same time. I'm going to miss these kids when we start going our separate ways.

After the prom, we got a police escort to take us to the after party (which I don't have any pictures of, sorry) in this club called the X-Lounge. Pretty awesome night, despite being completely COMPLETELY sober. Didn't get home til around half four and danced the night away...wih small interruptions of helping out the drunkards. I was wearing this pretty dress that I got but I don't have any pictures...which kinda sucks.

Anyway, hope your weekend was as awesome!

Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos...say WHAT???

I swear, that song does not make sense in my ears. I mean, forego a pair of Jimmy Choos and a bangin' dress for a T-Shirt? Even one that's made by Hanes...nuh-uh, sorry. Choo and I are meant to be.

Not that I own a pair.

Anyway, moving on. Today I went to Pacific Place to meet up with a few of the people who were in New Zealand while I was there and well...none of the ones that were my age showed up. Oh well, my outfit was pretty AND it was comfy, a total bonus.

Also, I went shopping yesterday at Tanah Abang and I got this pretty bronze tunic dress that I'm pretty sure I'll wear to the after party for prom AND I got three bronze necklaces. Tres awesome, I love shopping.

Outfit:

• Primark Essential White shirt
• Vintage lace bordered blazer
• Unlabelled jeans
• Amante wedges

Shoulder pads on the beach, bizatch.

So, today was a pretty packed day and thank God I looked good or not I would've been grumpy all day. I went to a Japanese reunion, went to the derm (the face is being STUBBOOOOORRRNN), went to another thingy and then went to watch Angels and Demons. I laughed at how much time was wasted just from the explanations. Seriously. I think they would have actually saved allt he cardinal if they could shut Robert Langdon up.

Outfit:

• Vintage polkadot top
• DIY cutoffs
• Brown belt
• The Fly chrome flats

Anyway, my Padre just got me the most awesome watch ever:

It only works when touching skin (which, OK, can be a bit fussy, but still. Awesome concept) and the numbers aren't in order! That's not really the beauty of it, actually. The beauty of it is that the hour hand doesn't turn clockwise every hour but it goes straight to the next number (e.g. 1 to 2) and it just makes me giggle. Seriously.

Imageshack is being a complete bizatch to me so I'm back to uploading small photos for a while (click them to enlarge). I went to Pondok Indah Mall today with friends to window shop and wore my dress and wicked new wedges. Stopped by both Zara AND Steve Madden. BIG MISTAKE. Though, in my opinion, Zara's shoes were way better last season (though, the tacky patent green wedge looked pretty delicious)...they were still completely adorable.

It was the Steve Madden, though, that completely blew me away. Though they had some heel, most of the collection consisted of wedges and boy are they gorgeous. I found these black 12cm (I THINK) cut-out wedges that were so mouth-watering that I was practically frothing at the mouth. I wanted those and I wanted them bad. Too bad they were like Rp 1million++ or else I would snap them up in a jiffy. Seriously gorgeous, I tried to look them up online but I couldnt find them.

*sad face*

Of Leather and Laces

Outfit:

• River Island black and white minidress
• Unlabelled black skinny jeans
• WIMO patent leather nude wedges

Today I went shopping with my grandma and my cousins + sister, and it was pretty awesome and yet tiring at the same time. I found the item that I bought the second I entered the mall and it was love at first sight. These babies had metallic shoelace holders, shoelaces, were wedges and also were pretty leather and they came in delicious colours too (navy blue, red-brown and black). In the end I chose black (even though, if it were up to me and if it were really my money to spend, i would've bought all three colours) because they were kinda kickass while the brown looked classic and the navy blue too quirky to go with every outfit.

Ah, so much love.

And here are the picture of my new babies. Can't stop wearing them around the room!

I think I ruined the shoes I wore today though, its got a tiny skid mark on it and it won't freaking come off. So sad.

Inspiration: Angora Ungaro (via Rumi from FashionToast)

While I was trawling through the blogosphere, I found this amazing hoodie worn by Rumi from FashionToast (seriously, if you haven't been following it yet, you are seriously missing out) and I fell in love right there and then. I mean, c'mon, how can you not love it? It's a hoodie (comfort factor!), it's made from angora (luxe factor!) and it has chains (deliciousness factor!) I mean, I was drooling all over the screen when I saw it.

Though it's a pretty simple piece, it jazzed up an even simpler ensemble of t-shirt, shorts and tights here on Rumi and I thought that was amazing. When I go to Aussieland for the summer, it will be my goal to find something similar to this (probably won't be able to find anything like that, actually) and a lot of winter boots for when i start university in Japan.

Ah...the joys of hoodie lust.

Shirtless Superheroes

What I wore to watch X-Men: Origins (wolverine) yesterday. Apart from the whole awesomeness that is a shirtless Hugh Jackman (why oh why do you insist on keeping your shirt on throughout the movie?) and that almost-kinda-hot Chinese sniper guy, my friend and I were laughing the whole way throughout the movie...and this is coming from a self-confessed comic geek (well, my friend wasn't but you get the gist). And we were also the ONLY ones laughing.

Teehee.
