Never Grow Up

I fall in love with comic print-trends. They are cute, aren't they? I admit that part of me still weren't grow up (well, let's say that I'd love to stay and can't moved on) from my early teenage period - I still love to dressed myself up like a high school girl and so, and this comic bandage skirt reminds me of that comic-maniac time.

Anyway, I've mention how happy I am to bring them home before.

 

Look at the print, they are so cute, right? :D
For honest, I've been gained about 11lbs (5kg) these two months, and I never confident with my curvy hips. But for this comic bandage skirt, I make peace and some promise with them. LOL

Anyway, this morning I just realized about how much I miss my dad. I've got some interview via email, and one of the question ask me of how I got interested in fashion. It reminds me of daddy so much, for he fully respect the art and industry of fashion.

There's one of his quote that I remember clearly at the moment, "A girl could be really confidence and shine bright in a right designer shoe and walk in the pair of genuine jeans."

I miss being daddy's little girl, heart and physically.

[w]Rap Me Up

"Lately I've been hard to reach,

I've been too long on my own...

Everybody has a private world where they can be alone, ...." 

Been depressed (in light level only, thank God!) these two weeks. When nobody seems can understand, when everybody turn their head away from, when the kindest and most patient listening friends even can't lift up you heart - I run my restless head to rap music (and pray).

The sincerity of the beat, the truthful lyrics...make me realize that I'm not the one who have hard and dark problem in this world. And after all, this shall passed too.

This post was dedicated to the rap musician out there - for making me cry harder to release the pain away, to making me laugh together with 'em for all the stupidity, and for telling me bedtime story in those cold and windy nights.

Keep the head up high!

"...

are you trying to breakthrough?

Are you reaching out for me and,

I am reaching out for you..."

Led Zeppelin

Can't resist to try it on this cool t-shirt of my boyfriend's own when I first saw it - a great loose one on me. Plus, Led Zeppelin always clued me as the vintage rockiest British band - in fact, they are. :)

And...if any of you have seen this uber-cute since the last post, this pair from my current favorite in-store brand made me wait for few days (only! - Thankfully) to get them home. Now I'm really really in love with them - like every outfit that I wore match it well.

Oh anyway, do you recognize that I cut my bangs? How do you think about it - do I look better with or without the bangs?

Who cares with all life problem when all you can do is rock it out, huh?

Hot Air Balloon Trap

A little bit boring with trousers and shorts for day, so I decided to dig up my closet and end up with this plaid piece of balloon skirt -- which has been so popular about five years ago. Yay!

I slightly don't know why every skirt that I bought and have always end up short, even though it seems should be on knee-length - and that makes my mom always complained every time I wore skirt. I'm a little bit of sarcastic when I found back this skirt, but surprisingly it fit up perfectly to my knees - ladylike, finally!

By the way, talk about balloon (skirt) - it just suddenly reminds me of The Wizard of Oz thing. Oz always escaped with his hot air balloon, and then get trapped on it. HA!

 Lovely necklace, isn't it? Got it on Berrybenka few weeks ago. It looks chic but rocks with those skulls detail to me.

 ...and that self-painted nails! I named it Starry Night in Gold, using L'OREAL nail polish color riche series (Black Swan) topped with my latest bought of NYX Girls Nail Polish in Prismatic Gold. Apology for the lack of too bright-photo.

Sequins Spark Dance

I always think that nail polish and manicure-thing was one of the most ultimate part of make up; it could change your simplest outfit from your basic wardrobe into more glamorous. For example, a simple red manicured-nail could pump up the appearance of shabby t-shirt + worn out jeans + old little black flats.

Talk about that - I just added the bottles of my nail polish collection - it seems I just can't get enough with all those nail polish in my dressing room. 

It's NYX Girls Nail Polish in Grand Royal and Prismatic Gold that win my heart this time.

And although my mom already complained about the amount of nail polish I've been spending - I didn't regret of buying these two.

Besides of the affordable price, the nail polish itself was really good in quality: it doesn't chip quickly and last for about a week - even without top coat. And for who doesn't like to waiting in a long time for nail polish to get dry or in a hurry, this NYX Girls nail polish dry quite quick.

It made me feel my little black dress as a sequin dress.

In fact, when I saw those variant on the shop shelf, they indeed remind me of the sequin dress in gold that Taylor Swift wore on her Speak Now Concert Tour in the opening part.

The rocking-gold sequin dress.
