SMILE!

photos and illustrations by me

*Eeeeek!* ; the sound one makes when he/she is unable to contain the excitement from extreme cuteness. Haha. Okay so my 'coolness' level just dropped to the lowest level. But I can't help it. I am in love with these bunnies to death!! They have been making me smile and giggle since this morning when I started drawing them. This post is especially for you girls (and guys who appreciate kawaii things) out there who had a bad day.. Who is going through rough times.. And for those especially who hasn't been able to smile much lately. I want to introduce you all my imaginary bunny friends, Loop and Giggles. (Oh my gosh I just made that up, but I like the names already!) Giggles should be the shorter one (because he makes me giggle) and Loop is the one with the bow tie. I honestly don't know how I came up with this idea to draw characters and add them to my weekly outfit post. But I did! And I thank God for giving me the imagination to do so. 

Also, I want to thank Covetz for this super cute mint top! It gives me the vibe of a clown (in the cutest way imaginable excuse you! :p) because of the collar which is seen very often on clowns. I love the colour especially. Yup, I am still in love with mint hues. :)

Those who go to him for help are happy, and they are never disgraced.

DAYDREAMING IN PURPLE

Absolutely love this dress from Su-estilo. I felt so goddess-like in it. From the pastel colours to the tiny floral patterns to the deep-v cut at the back of the dress; so romantic! It would definitely make every girl look so stunning! I'm also making full use of this floral wrath I made. Thought it would finish the look better. Hey! I just realized, I'm clad in floral from head to toe! Yeah, that's how big of a crazy floral lady I am. Oh and I'm pretty happy how the pictures turned out. Even better than what I expected actually. Thanks dad! 

Jeremiah 29:11-12

  For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.

HERE IT COMES

Phew! I made it through the first week of college. And I just realized that I'm very exhausted. I can feel the pressure already. First week and my brain is going cluttered! I just want to cry! Sigh. I don't know if its a 'good' stress, but whatever it is, I have not felt this way in the longest of time. At times like these I just feel so weird and depressed. I know all I can do, is just lift it all to Him. I know I can't rely on my own human strength. I will crumble if I do. Letting God take the wheel is what I am going to do. 

On a much happier note, I just want to say thank you and a happy mummy's day to all the mom's out there! Thank you for being so amazing and wonderful and supportive and motivating and loving and beautiful! Sometimes we take our mom's love for granted. And we don't appreciate what she does for us. Even the simplest things like preparing a meal for the family, driving us here and there, feeling our forehead to see if our fever is subsiding.. We forget to say thank you and we don't acknowledge her loving actions. Lets all remember to give our mummy's some good loving back too, shall we? She deserves the world. 

Loving these pieces from Reverie and Su-estilo! The orange crop top is such a unique piece. What got me hooked on this piece is the back of it; a deep 'U' cut that adds a little bit of sexy! And this ballerina skirt (totally reminds me of Black Swan!) is perfection! It's dark and haunting and lovely and feminine at the same time.

POWDER PALETTE

Firstly! A round of applause for my dad's photography! He cracked me up when he bragged and said he had an eye for composition, lighting, and.. I forgot. But he was very confident in his photography skills. Oh, dad.. Well, I was pretty impressed with his pictures in the end. I'm so thankful I have a family that will take time out of their busy schedule to help me take my outfit photos! It can get a little hard sometimes, getting my friends to do it, cause I don't see them everyday. So, that's when I have no choice but to ask the ones that stay under the same roof with me. 

This is one of my favourite outfits too! I'm a sucker for all things pastel; if you didn't know already. What I really like about this outfit, is that it's so simple but has the prettiest details! Like this crop top from Reverie? Just plain fabric with a touch of lace makes it perfect. I paired the top with a crumpled denim-ish skirt (I'm too lazy to iron it! But I think it looks fine crumpled. haha!) from Zara cause the colors go so well! Yup, simple and girly: check!

LEFTOVER PHONE PHOTOS

Just a couple of photos that was stored in my phone since last month! Thought I'd share them here. Also, school starts today! Ok, I'm gonna go pack and get ready now. Hope you all have a wonderful and productive monday! Before I go, here's a verse that I'm continuously repeating in my head. You know, life and people can really pull you down sometimes. And it's so hard to not get angry and make a scene. But, treat is as a 'test' for yourself. Try your best to sweep it off your shoulders and continue the day with your head high. You'll be proud of yourself and know that God is glad you overcame the situation. 

Psalms 4:4

When you are angry, do not sin. Think about these things quietly as you go to bed.

REVERIE

Two more days and it's back to school. I don't know if I'm happy or not that college is starting. It's been what, two months since I had classes? I guess I just became really lazy ever since sem break. I've been enjoying myself and living life. So the thought of "9am classes" and "boring lectures" really puts my mood down... Ah! I am such a bum! I need to kick start a positive energy before I go for my first lecture. And remind myself how I used to enjoy going for class, learning new things, meeting new people, and most of all, seeing my classmates! Yep, ok.. Positivity is returning :) 

Also, I recently just got approached by another sponsor, Reverie! (I.am.still.in.disbelief) I also actually know very briefly the owner of the online shop. She's a cute petite lady that has a love for all things pastel and pretty! So you can imagine her shop already and the things she sells. I'm telling you, her shop is a must see. She's got the cutest items ever! And this top I'm wearing here is one of them. I absoluteeely love it. The colours! So perfect. The coral pink and baby blue just compliments the zonkers out of each other. And the collar, to me, is the highlight of this blouse. 

Nehemiah 8:10

Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. 

GET COMFY

photos by me

When Covetz decided to sponsor jammies, I got so thrilled! I love pajamas! Especially cute girly pink ones. I've always loved walking into La senza; it's always fun to browse through their pajamas section. But I can never bring myself to purchase them cause they are a little pricey for me. So when I got these, I slipped them on and instantly felt satisfied and happy. I usually wear my dad's old t-shirts to sleep, so it was really nice to feel a little bit more special when I had these on. (psstt, mother's day is coming soon! make mom feel special too)

It was pretty hard taking photos of myself! But I managed to do it. Even though the photos I took for this post last week got deleted due to unfortunate memory card issues. Anyway! Still thank God that He helped me through this batch. And I am truly happy with the outcome. For this post, I wanted to just capture 'what you can do' when you have the whole day to yourself while wearing ultra pretty + comfortable pajamas! :)

Psalm 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

SPELLBOUND

(...continued from the post below)

Since it was all about this skirt from Su-Estilo for this outfit, I wanted to go as 'bare' as possible without overshadowing the skirt. Yeah I even went to the extend of going barefooted! And plus, no girl would like walking in mud in her favourite heels! Since a lot was going on at the bottom (floral prints and colours), I opted for the most basic of all basic tops; a white tube top. 

All in all,I really had fun photoshooting with Chris and Isaac! Both are such awesome friends. HUGE thank you to the both of them for always being able to help take my outfit photos. I honestly don't know how this blog would continue growing if it wasn't for my talented friends & family. You all know who you are! <3

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

FLOWER POWER

Chris Fowler Photography + Isaac (lighting)

You know you're real busy when you squeeze two photo shoots in a day. That's exactly what happened to me. I thought, since Chris and I would be going to this lovely place to shoot, why not take two outfits? I'll blog about the second outfit soon. Ok, I love this dress from Su-Estilo. I really do. There's just a slight issue for me. It might be because I'm tall? I don't know. But the inner lining is way too short for me. I had to keep pulling it down throughout the shoot. (Looked like I was pulling a wedgie!) Haha. But other than that, its a lovely dress! I'm crazy over the colours + patterns on it. I didn't know purple and yellow and maroon go so well together. And the cutest part; yes, the back of the dress. *squeal!*

Ephesians 4:32

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
