Theyskens' Theory Resort 2014

If I could own any collection from Resort 2014, I would pick Theyskens' Theory because every piece is so basic yet has its very own personality. This collection is extremely versatile that I can imagine myself styling it 50 ways, no matter the occasion, from dinner parties to a day of college, this collection is flawless.

"As Olivier Theyskens pointed out while presenting the collection today, his aim this time out was to make sure every piece in the collection was "a real essential," which pushed him to make a tight edit of his silhouettes." - Maya Singer, style.com

Every outfit looks absolutely comfortable and practical for everyday wear. I am madly in love with the sweater and slouchy jeans combo as well as the printed dress with cut out back.

What about you? Which collection from Resort 2014 would you like to own?

Many Setting Suns

It has been many setting suns since I last saw my friends, the people who I go to everyday in the last two years of high school. We've been through a lot together and it feels like everything is right in the world when we're all together. I miss you guys so, so much.

Thrifted sheer blouse, Sportswear worn as crop top, Bazaar bought high waist skirt, 

H&M shoes, Charm bracelet from Europe

With these group of girls, do expect a shitload of pictures when the day is over. 

Absolutely love Natalia's hair, done by her cousin. It's such a lovely shade of pink that reminds me of my neon pink sandals. After a few weeks after she dyed her hair, this is the aftermath. Strands of pink and strawberry blond. I'm in love as well as deeply inspired to dye my hair very, very soon.

Auf wiedersehen!

Sun Beams

H&M beanie (guys' section), Topshop sunglasses & skirt, T-shirt from Malacca,

Keds sneakers.

Day old hair is best hidden under a beanie. The rest of my hair was all frizzy and unruly as it was in a bun prior to going out. Beanies can do wonders on bad hair days. 

Tuesday Tunes: Don't Watch Me Dancing

Don't Watch Me Dancing from neonbubbledreams on 8tracks Radio.

Music to dance to. Music to drive to. Music to live through.

Salted Caramel Haze

Sister's bandana, Pestle & Mortar top, Cotton On shorts, Forever 21 sandals.

Saturday was spent at the temple in the city, tea break at Food Foundry (their salted caramel crepe is absolutely amazing) and hanging out with my family in the mall. If you need a new bikini top or bottom, H&M's sale is crazy cheap. RM5 for a bikini bottom, how could I decline?

Bookmarked: Eleanor & Park

I was browsing at my favourite bookstore one day, looking for Good Omens, when the owner of the bookstore suggested I pick up Eleanor and Park.

"John Green highly recommends this book. As do I.", he said something along those lines.

That sealed the fate of the book coming home with me. After that, I noticed YouTubers and bloggers talking about it. With so much hype surrounding this book, I was a tad skeptical but read it with an open mind.

It takes a lot for a book to capture my attention for more than half an hour. This book left me clinging to it the whole day. My entire day was dedicated to this book. I just couldn't put it down. After finishing it at 2am, I felt emotionally drained. It took me the entire day to finish it because I wanted to savour it but at the same time I wanted to know what happens to Eleanor & Park as quickly as possible. Who knew I would get sucked into this world where mix tapes and comic books were exchanged; where the worlds of a Korean mixed Caucasian boy and a curvy girl with disastrous red hair would collide.

Eleanor & Park made my heart clenched. They made me smile and cry and I just could not get over them till this day.

Why this book is so amazing is because the story plays out in a very convincing way. This isn't some cliché fairytale where you can easily predict a happy ending. Even though you think you might know how this all plays out, well to be frank, you don't. That's how life is and that's how this book is.

Everything is uncertain and even till the end, it still is.

I really hope that one day you do pick this up. Maybe not today, but someday.

Long Way Home

Took a much needed trip to the thrift store yesterday. When thrifting, one must remember not to wear oversized shorts, like I did (but pockets that can store my phone, car keys and money is always a plus), as you will face difficulties when slipping on skirts. 

Thrifted blazer & denim shorts, Cotton On tank top, H&M earrings, Bazaar bought shoes & ring,
Sling bag from Morocco

This thrifted blazer is perfect for scorching hot days when the AC in your car is on full blast as it's sheer and lightweight. I love that it's oversized yet when I roll up the sleeves it stays that way. 

Brands outlet hijab/scarf, Black long sleeve top from random shop, Supré collared asymmetrical shirt, Forever 21 black jeans, Primark shoes

Meet Tasha, my partner in crime and soft grunge lumpster. You'll see her in future posts, that's for sure. She managed to get a few items yesterday too. A thrift haul will be up real soon.

Till then.
