Future Home

So sorry for the lack of post guys, i've been so busy lately dealing with academic thingies (finals are just around the corner, in fact i've just finished my first exam today), some student body activities, and some works relating on the environmental foundation i'm in, while on the other hand, i actually have a lot to share, from some events i attended weeks earlier and from my BIRTHDAY!! -mine was on May 8 :)

Neways, here are some things i (badly) want for my house, or even better, my 'future' house ;)

1. a stylish huge bookshelf,

i badly need this one, my books are scattered all round

2. a 70s inspired stuhl,

two words, uber.cool.

3. a sewing corner,

i must admit, i can't sew, but a sewing corner with a cute sewing machine is a must for a vintage inspired home. and frankly, i believe it can also motivate me into learning how to sew *LOL*

4. a pastel-colored kitchen wall,

a boring white kitchen wall can be pesky sometimes

5. a nice kitchen cabinet,

it's a must ;)

images from desire to inspire

another posts, including outfit posts will be up soon after finals.

in the mean time, take care! :)

*cheers*

too many! my closet's a mess! really! but I really love some of super-comfy tees, that are actually some man's tee.. I have no idea why man's tee can be so oversized yet so sexy and stylish to wear anytime with anything, from a pair of very neat high-waisted stuffs to a pair of thrashed jeans, from a pair of flip-flops to a fabulous designer heels.. I guess the olsen twins would agree with the statement ;)

My Kind of Summer..

calling my girls, make sure they are all safely in town..

spending times with them, looking fabulous.. 

from brunch, lunch, to dinner 

shopping,

 or just chilling out with the preffered glass of cocktails in hands..

from the street to the beach, 

the city's number one restaurants to little coffeeshops nearby,

or just simply

in each other's houses..

and after all has done,

I'll be back to the arms of my man :)

it's just my kind of summer :)

Leighton Meester (I just can't get my eyes off those prints!)

"I actually find Blair naïve. I look at young girls like her who are obsessed with guys and with being the most popular and the prettiest, and I just want to shake them. Maybe you just grow up a little faster when you’re a young performer, but I was definitely never like that."

"Not at all. If anything, it’s the opposite. Her style is a little expensive for my taste, but it loudly communicates that she is who she is and that she does what she does. I find that admirable. And she’s always dressed appropriately, which I can’t always say about myself."

Lace Up Your Shoes!

I was googling and doing some image hunting in the middle of my paper-writing thing when I found these adorable pair of shoes.. I was basically interested with them for they are very classic and unique at the same time. There's an avant garde feeling about these shoes. I can imagine these darlings worn by those girls on medieval times or so.

Sadly, I was too mesmerized and forgot to take notes on what they were, what sites were they belong to and so on, so I basically have no idea about the origin of these masterpieces :(

I've been obsessed with Lace Shoes ever since..

Neways, about weeks ago, I went blogwalking on one of my newest favourite blog, Catu. I was reading one of her post and I found out that Givenchy has a collection of Lace Shoes, which is GORGEOUS!! They have different styles of lace shoes. Every single one of them is too tempting I can't seem to pick one ;)

The Heels

The Bootie

this one was worn by Jennifer Connely, check it out here

The Flats

The Sandals

Some other brands also spotting some lace shoes..

Jimmy Choo

and the most affordable of all :)
