WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SHIN

Blouse : Covetz  |  Skirt : Wicket  |  Leggings : Friend's online store

I think this has got to be one of my favourite ensembles I've thrown together. I was so excited when I got this eyelet blouse from Covetz. It's absolutely beautiful. From the gold buttons to the eyelet detailing at the front - gorgeous! I'm also really thankful for this pair of heart leggings that my dearest college mate, Race (yup, what a cool name right?!) gave to me. Do email her if you'd like a pair of heart tights too! They're really pretty I must say, and the quality is super :) 

Fashion aside, life has been looking bright. I'm just happier and more thankful for every single blessing God has given me. Ever since M came into my life, I've been seeing life in a whole new way. He is such a good person. So genuine and kind and grateful even when times get rough, his head is always up and always looking on the bright side. He has definitely changed me to become a better person, well at least trying to become a better person. 

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

SECRET GARDEN

Last week I had the opportunity to see my best friend again. I took her to this magical place - the secret garden. Its filled with water mist and pretty flowers. We had a lovely day chit chatting and just being silly together. 

Romans 5:3

More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance.

GOD AT WORK

What a week. Definitely a good week I must say. God has showed himself yet again and has tested my faith in him. He really never fails me. Never. This journey with Jesus.. is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I've completely fallen in love with him and never want to fall out of it. I'm also really happy for two people in my life. One of them has opened his heart and has started to come for christian fellowship. I really believe that its God moving in his life. Starting to spark a flame that will burn bright eventually. And the other person, she has witnessed something so amazing that I would want so badly to experience myself; God's light shining right at her. Literally. I really am so happy for her. I know where she's at and I was once at that stage. Its that time where I completely lost all hope in life and there He was, holding His hands out to me telling me He never left me even though I completely forgot Him and lived life selfishly for my own goals. Then I made a u-turn and life transformed and now there's so much meaning and purpose. This feeling, if you've felt it, you are so blessed. I wish for every single person to experience this man's love. He loves you. Yes, you. I mean, would anyone else die on the cross for you? 

THE BEST FRIEND IS 20

Can't imagine life without her; wouldn't want to either. I remember the first time we met. She came to my high school in form two wearing the coolest shoes at that time; Skechers. And she was real pretty. I knew I had to be friends with her. I could tell we could click. I mean, hello? She was wearing Skechers! Haha. Anyway. I made the first move and said hi first. And from a simple hello, our friendship bloomed to what it is today. It's been 6 good years now, and I'm honestly amazed at how we're still best of friends. I can't even describe how we are so alike yet so different! But what I do know is that I can be my total self with her. I really like that. Just being completely honest and giving her my heart. Caryn is a gem. Yeah, we fight fought a lot especially during high school, but we got through it. I  can say it made us more matured? Haha. I don't know. I just know I really love this girl.

Here are a few photos we took of her surprise birthday a few days back. I wore this skirt sponsored by Wicket with this nude Su-Estilo top (that my boyfriend helped choose, thanks again! haha). I really love the prints on the skirt. And the colours are real pretty too! But again, its so hard to match neon yellow with my pink hair. Oh the difficult problems I go through in life...
