Pink and Undecided: boots

Rock N' Rollin! (SPONSORED)

Hey guys...

In my previous outfit pic not so long ago, i already mentioned that i was going for a fun photo shoot on Sunday, that photo shoot was for the items sponsored by Dresslink!

Borrowing Onkas as per #Undecided's suggestion, he completes the look! LOL

Well, in case you can't tell, this is somewhat of a costume haha. I don't normally dress like that prancing around town or whatever (not like there's anything wrong with that, but i did get snarky comments when i post a pic on IG). Each of the items in this blog post can be worn on everyday life (eh... If you think it's okay wearing a dress with skeleton hands holding your boobs and butt, that is! Totally fine by me!) but throw them all together, you get this : a costume.

Which is precisely my point. I mean, that's the beauty of playing dress up, yes? Thing that most girls can relate, no matter if they're 3 or 33 (or 66, for that matter), playing dress up is fun and it should be over the top and crazy. If not, they'd be call "dressing normally" instead of "playing dress up".

Please keep that in mind if you plan to comment, because i don't take annoying comments easily *LOL*. Consider yourselves warned :p.

Anyway. You can see the items in more details (and learn about the quality) in my Dresslink unboxing and review post.

So, i wanted to take the pics outdoor (better lighting and all) and since we had plan to throw our BFF A a birthday dinner that day, i asked #Undecided if she thinks i can snap pics somewhere in her neighborhood (you know, lots of trees, quiet so i can actually take pictures without people staring). Hunny can't take pics properly when it's hot so i was glad that my other BFF G (who now take nice pics) actually wanted to tag along and take pictures with me. Most of the pictures in this blog post were taken by her (and a few by hunny).

It really was so much fun because of G! She was encouraging and since i've known her more than half of my life, i totally felt at ease when she took my pics. No shyness attack or whatever hahaha.

Dangling gold necklace USD 1.36 only!

Black shift dress with skeleton hands USD 5.81

Showing you the other pair of hands on the butt hahaha

:p. Btw, i was wearing hair extension clips from Irresistable Me for more volume!

Oh yeah, now i understand why it takes an army to take actual, professional fashion photos. I didn't realize that my fringe was in a total disarray and nobody pointed it out to me, so please try to ignore the weird long spikes in the middle of my forehead, it's supposed to be swept to the side >.<

Btw, i was also trying out my new makeup (sponsored by Zoya Cosmetics) that day!

MOTD. I didn't look so bitchy without the sunnies, no? LOL

List of products used :
1. Zoya Cosmetics CC Cream
2. Zoya Cosmetics Blotting Powder
3. Face on Face Face Powder
4. Clinique All About Eyes Concealer
5. DHC Medicated Concealer
6. Maybelline Fashion Brow 24HR Coloring Mascara in Rusty Brown
7. Color Concept shimmery nude eyeshadow
8. Mai Doll Liquid Eyeliner (Black)
9. Mustika Ratu Blush on (Amethyst)
10. Zoya Cosmetics Ultimate Eyeliner in Black
11. Simply Stay by Mustika Ratu powder for nose shading
12. Oriflame Tender Care
13. Zoya Cosmetics Lip Paint in Pink Powder
14. Unbranded Hiliter

Okay let's go back to the outfit. We took a LOT of pictures so i have more photos than my usual outfit pics (this is already just 20% of all the pictures taken hahaha)

In case you're wondering, i am not afraid of Onkas. I'm not very brave or whatever, big dogs used to scare the shit out of me (most of them still do!), but Onkas is a sweetheart. No need to be afraid of him whatsoever. He did pee on the exact spot which we picked as out photo taking spot tho zzzz so yes, those wet (BIG) patch you see on the pavement. His pee.

Since we're going all out, i decided to borrow #Undecided's hubby's air soft gun *LOL*

FYI, it was really really heavy and i kept on shouting at hunny to snap faster

This pose is especially torturous. I need to work on my upper body strength

Like i mentioned earlier, G was my photographer and later she joined me in the photos hahaha.

Of course i beautify this pic, it turns out nice, no?

The actual tone of the pic *LOL*

LOL at my chicken butt lips >.<

Lastly we also took some more pics at Mazel Tov where we had dinner. Yes, we did get carried away.

Round clock shaped bag USD 2.89

The only items that were not sponsored are those knee length socks (which i don't even remember where i get from anymore) and boots (bought online, unbranded China imported ones) *LOL*

All of those items (and thousands other options, don't worry-they also have subtler, more normal looking items than the ones i picked hahaha) can be purchased at Dresslink!

G and i had so much fun taking these pics, we decided we should make this a regular thing! Hope you enjoy this post as much as i did in the process!

Feathered Wings

black and white

Hey ho!

Today's OOTD is not so backdated! I actually went through the pictures and love the result so much i just have to put all of my older (and super old) OOTD pics at the back burner and share this first!

Other than the outfit itself (like, obviously), i really like how the pictures turned out! It's just taken in our room as usual (and the lighting is not the best either), but i feel that my posing's getting better hahahaha. I mean, at least i have more poses than the three that i always did-and repeat! I dunno, the outfit, the pose and the dark, vampy lips just work, if i may say so myself! Mind you, i only feel comfortable posing in front of my *very* reluctant personal photog, hunny. I don't yet feel comfortable posing for anyone else, not even my girlfriends-too embarrassed!

For some weird reason, whenever we take an outfit picture-the first picture would always turn out very bright while rest would be much darker. As i am totally clueless when it comes to editing... Well, i just have to let it be hahaha

I think this pic was snapped mid-sentence *LOL*, i'm pretty sure i wasn't ready but it turned out okay :p

The post is titled that way for obvious reason, the feathers in the jumper's sleeves!

I absolutely adore this kind of quirky details, i live for them!!! #drama

Hm, i really love these eyes closed poses *LOL*

This is the outfit that i put together for Bebe event, i tried to emulate a more sexy (emphasize on the word TRY) look so i my MOTD is smokier and darker than usual :

List of products used :
1. Revlon New Complexion Foundation in 04 Nude (gifted by Kathy)
2. Clinique All About Eyes Concealer
3. Clinique Makeup Palette (used the eyeshadow and blush on)
4. Mai Doll Black Liquid Eyeliner
5. Daiso Pearl in Eyeshadow in Brown
6. C/o Collection No Clumps Definition Mascara in 01 Black
7. elf Eye Primer
8. Maybelline Fashion Brow 24 HR Coloring Mascara in Rusty Brown
9. Oriflame Tender Care
10. Jordana Lipstick in 005 Blackberry (gifted by Sabsab)
11. False eyelashes
12. Esprique Precious Double Shine Face Powder
13. C/o Collection Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liner in Glitz

Yes, i was in a cheeky mood (and had a wedding to attend soon afterwards so i needed to practice! I haven't worn one for such a long time, didn't feel like i needed one since i started using Majolica Majorca Lash King!) so i put on falsies. Can't remember what brand coz i just pick one from my box of used falsies >.<

You can see upclose the "feathers" on my sleeve in this pic. It's stiff and well made!

Since the outfit's already monochromatic, i decided i wanted a dash of bright color because the event was for Spring Summer collection!

The lace up boots is one of the gift from my girls for my bday last year, the exact same one with the pink one i wore for our South Korea trip, it's comfortable and cute! And accidentally i bought a very matchy bag in South Korea (i tried looking for a bag in this color to wear to Korea with this shoes, but couldn't find one that i liked locally so i ended up wearing the pink one-because i found a matchy bag with that one instead hahaha. I actually donated the pink bag already because it's not in pristine condition anymore and i don't think i want to wear it again...). I also added a statement necklace because the outfit's so simple


Outfit details : Jumper : Meclothing Firsthand Black Ripped Jegging : Rozz Shopp Boots : Gosh Bag : Bought in Dongdaemun, Seoul Statement Necklace : Cache Cache

Bonus pic, expression suddenly so weird when it's not longer hunny behind the camera hahaha

Yeah, i actually remember where i bought my clothes for once, usually i'd only remember "online" but not the specific stores, that's because these purchases were quite recent hahaha so better link them up while i remember. This will not happen very often *LOL*.

I seriously love (and prefer) darker makeup lately, but it's not very summery and doesn't go that well with my pastel, uber girly outfits zzz. Oh well, i'll put them on again when the mood strikes!

Cynthian said i still look very girly despite my efforts to toughen up my style for this event *LOL*, what do you think?

Lavender Madness

What's that?

Yep, whenever you see weird titles on my posts, be alert that i am posting another narcissistic OOTD, FOTD type of posts. And i can feel a lot more of this kind of posts coming hahaha. Oh well, i don't think people blog if they are not narcissistic. I just hope my narcissism won't go to my head *LOL*.

In case you are not detecting any hostility from my words, lemme inform you that i just had an unbelievable *not exactly direct though, you know, these days and age, via social medias lah what else* encounter with one particular b*****r that's known for her ability to make herself look like someone completely different with the magic of make up. I actually used to admire her, but now... Oh well, i don't think she deserves an ounce of any positivity from me.

Yes, i am extremely opinionated, but when people twists and turn my words to make it sounds so bad *when i never even thought that way for a second*, that's when the claws comes out. I dunno, i just can never respect people like that. Period. Why am i saying this? I just think that she got so used to people's praises and adoration that whenever someone says something unflattering, that never even meant for her, she can see the insults and accusation that's not even there. Let me tell you something about me, dear girl. If i meant to accuse you of anything, i would never beat around the bush, i would give it straight to you. Mark my words.

Anyway, by the time i am posting this the whole issue would be a few days (or worse, weeks) old *LOL*. But you can't expect me to not yap about whatever's not bothering me at the moment i am writing any entry, yes? If you did, i suggest you to faster get on the train lah coz you're severely behind *as in knowing me* hahaha.

Okay okay! Getting to the point now! This is the whole ensemble that i wore when i attended NailBar2013's Special Blogger Event :

Hmmmm... You're seriously not expecting me to upload ONE narcissistic pic, do ya???

Pastel Lavender Chiffon Top : Online, Pale Baby Pink Pleated Skirt : It's super old i can never remember (i had it since my university days hahahahahaha, that's like... 10 years ago WTF), i think it's bought in some random boutique in ITC Mangga Dua

Seriously one of my oldest and badly overworked skirt, it's just so comfy and easy to match

I'd normally crop my feet but Me-Nail's pedicure looked pretty enough to show here hahaha

Baby Pink Bag : disdus.com

Moving on to FOTD now! I didn't go crazy on my face because it was a week day and i didn't want the other bloggers to think i was a weirdo hahaha...

My lippies always long gone (or hadn't even be applied on the earlier pictures) when i take my FOTD photos FML, you can see from the event's report that i was wearing a pretty bright reddish pink lippie

Showing off my NOTD (well, they're still there while i'm typing this, 9 days after application. Only one finger's polish looks like it's gonna peel off any second already haha)

Well, that's all for the narcissistic selfie portion, but the entry doesn't end here, hohoho not a chance my friend! I wanna show you my haul that i purchased at the same day!

No, no beauty stuffs that day. I was happy i got the goodie bag from NailBar already that appeased me enough to not feel like i needed more hahaha


I don't think i posted my book hauls except once i always keep my new books in my special cupboard right away so i would forget to feature them in my haul posts

Yes, you can see i bought the first book of my current craze, The Mortal Instruments (my nieces just went to watch the movie today and as usual, BB's taste's same with mine, she thinks Jamie Campbell Bower's scorching H.O.T too).

Also The Japanese Ghost Survival Guide because i am a geek like that hahaha, it looks silly enough for me to buy it even though it's quite effing expensive *IDR 159.000*, most of the novels i usually bought were IDR 105.000 and below, and yes i read English book like 95% of the time. Good thing is, i finally bought enough to qualify for the membership after countless times of trying, but only because they brought down the minimum spending as low as IDR 500.000 *LOL*, i guess not many people met their old quota (IDR 1.5mill?).

From Magnolia :

White painted floral skirt

Unique shaped off white sleeveless top (on a 50% off)

Bat wing chiffon triple colored throw (also 50 or 30% off)

Yes, you must notice by now that i am a huge fan or Magnolia, especially their sale section (only recently lah because their stuffs used to be super cheap anyway. Now, not so much. And they update their sale section so often to a point that i got afraid to purchase new arrivals with sky high prices because they might chuck it to the sale section in a few weeks/months. If the item's not a MUST MUST have usually i can wait haha). So much that i have two of their branch's BBM contacts hahahaha. That proved to be helpful when i realized i lost my Bling shopping (read the report entry to know the full story if you haven't) and BBM-ed them asking about it!

Oh yeah, i am a sucker for that kind of skirts (the only item that i bought full priced because i've been eyeing it forever, only in a different color) i just couldn't resist. I do realize i should stop buying clothes for another 10 years to make sure i will wear every single item in my bursting walk in closet, but i'm sure i didn't have the water color painting style floral skirt on my stash yet. Pretty sure. I paid IDR 288.000 for all three items.

From Cache Cache :

Greenish blue tierred skirt

Creme mini dress with crochet detailing

Another fave place for a bargain hunt whenever they're having a huge sale hehe. I got both items on a 70% off. Paid around IDR 82.500 for the skirt (that i've been eyein forever but would never purchase at almost IDR 300.000), i can never outgrown tierred skirts, i'm afraid. Maybe when i'm 40. Scratch that, probably when i'm 50.

The dress was IDR 105.000 after 70% off, with beautiful materials and interesting design, i couldn't resist it even though i am not a fan of creme colors (because i am pale enough already).

The last but not least, the Bling items i almost lost (but thankfully got back) :

Another promotional buy, IDR 59.000 for two. I was attracted to the black one (because i lost my big black ring's stone once-on #Undecided's wedding-and i am still overcompesating, yes 11 months and probably 5 black rings later), and just randomly selected whatever caught my fancy next, so the butterflies ring was not like a must have or anything...

And that's it! Not like, super a lot right... I once went to TP and bought like, 40 items at one go? LOL. I hope i'm over that kind of craziness for good. But i can never promise that...
