hearts et arrows.

modern cinderella

came across this supercute necklace from lush. don't think i've seen this around o_o
thinking of getting this
or maybe ill just start searching for this first hee!

hearts on skin

Sheer x polka dots are not relatively new trends on the block but im still loving it. This dress is especially lovely because its covered with tiny hearts instead of the usual polka dots. I am yet to own a piece of sheer x polka dots/hearts myself. I almost got one about 4 months ago, a 3/4 two-layers polka-dotted maxi skirt that was only RM35 but I really want one that covers right up to my ankles so it'll look more svelte when I don them. Oh well.

the collar issue

Detachable collars are all the rage right now, and I'm for it, except that I find it super difficult to style with. I especially hate it when people style it with jumpsuits or collarless tops. I mean they're good, if you're tall, and probably for editorial or picture-taking, but I find that it would be especially awkward to shop around with a round bib-esque collar around my bare neck when my outfit actually begins at my bust. I think I'm also cutting out the idea of even shopping with another friend who'd wear a detachable collar, I'll probably go like: "Um, are you sure you wanna shop, you know, in that?". Especially horrible if you plan to test on clothes. Or maybe its just because I haven't seen any female walking around in malls in one.

My advice is if you want to go collar-happy, please, for everybody's sake, get one that matches the collar of your top/dress well (if not perfectly), like this dress by MiuMiu, love!

once upon a time

going dot dot dot.. crazy!

Drop waist pleated dresses with a loose tie up front often remind me of an modern update and girlier version of a sailor dress. I love that the dress makes the wearer look softly beautiful without overpowering the wearer, it almost looks mori girl-esque.



Ni-kiyo Sheer Front-Tie Pleated Dress from HaruHaru Collection

Dotty dresses with a simple ruching at the waistline look simple and utterly versatile, and are so easy to match with leggings and flats. Or at least the shops know how to match them well!

the boy in the red uniform

Christmas has just gone by, but I'm not completely over it yet, seeing that I fell sick this year, and didn't actually get to enjoy it wholeheartedly.

This little drummer boy from the 60s looks so adorable hanging on a tree. Now only if there were 12 of these, I could tick of "12 drummers drumming" off the 12 Days of Christmas wishlist.

I am absolutely in love with this pair of lace shorts from gelliz. This pair goes for a whooping RM50++ a piece. I managed to find a similar, if not the very same pair of shorts going for TWD280, which is about RM30. Sadly, I'm still in the process of understanding sprees and won't be able to get them now. Hopefully I'll find a similar piece in future.
