Happy 2012! Kinda long absence since my last post... Well, my PC crashed again (same shit, different year!) and I've stored these pics since weeks ago in my dead PC till I found out I had the copies on my camera. Yaaay. Blogging life seems so hard for me now. Puh. Anyway, got this beautiful floral dress from Dream Shop (comes with a belt!) and realized that it's a bit too big for me (I asked for the larger size because I KNEW that I have this fat-ass attack) but I love it so much and I've worn it three times since I got it. Tee hee. Also got this cape from super nice Kalista's Retail Therapy. She makes the best outerwear, don't you think?

Oh, see my customized necklace? When MyNameNecklace.com asked me to get my own personalized necklace, I've known that it would be my blog name. Versicle. Yes. This silvery cutie definitely would be a wardrobe staple.

How's your Sunday? Here you go... Lovely tunes for my lovely readers! xx

floral oversized blazer: vintage
nude lacey ruffle top: Topshop
Mandy floral skirt: c/o Dream Shop
brown braided belt (comes with a dress): c/o Dream Shop
bow boater hat: random shop
Flowery Ivy wedges: c/o Shoezisme
duo-tone granny bag: Screamous

Finally back! My internet connection was fucked up for couple weeks and it was the phone line who screwed everything so it took ages to get normal again. Gosh. Anyway, this is super-delayed post. I was about to post it couple weeks ago. My new sponsor, Dream Shop, sent me this superb skirt along with other goodies. I was amazed to see how beautiful the pattern is. Such a cutie, eh? It's kind of vintage inspired and they're all handmade (and well-tailored!).

This blazer is hidden deep in my closet and when I found it again, 'floral-craze' suddenly popped in my mind. I think it goes well with the skirt, no? Oh, and I'm glad to see everyone give props to headwear nowadays (beautiful hats are everywhere...) and they're far away from underrated. So is boater hat. Always see this cutie on tons fashion blogs (esp on summer-time!) and since I'm a hat-junkie, I decided to give the hat a second act (first act can be found here) :)

How is everyone's day in life? Thanks for keep reading and following my blog. I highly appreciate it. LOVE xx

charcoal long blazer: mom's closet
Duvessa denim dress: c/o Minimal
black beret hat: Ebay
grey patent wedges: c/o Minimal
black tiny backpack: vintage

When I have nothing to wear (like every other girl would feel when you can't choose any outfits because you have too many choices?!), minimalist and simple outfit could be a perfect choice. I've been looking for a denim dress for ages and finally found one! This Duvessa dress is classy yet casual but with a steal from my mom's wardrobe and a comeback from my beret hat, I get effortlessly chic and sophisticated look. :)

These wedges are also simple yet outstanding pieces to complete the look. They go with like... everything in my closet! Browsed through Minimal to find a wide range of affordable clothes selection that would definitely make you well-dressed and feel chic!

And please check out my interview with The Blanc Notes here.

Happy Friday, dolls! xx

two-tone brogues: Amanda Janes
nude croc satchel bag: c/o Minimal

Finally an outfit post! Do I look very much chubbier? Excuse the blurry pictures, please. My "personal photographer" still need to join a photography course and we were very much in hurry because it's getting too dark and finally raining!

I see sheer-everything on almost every runway show. It's a must have for anyone who lives in tropical country. When my new sponsor Auburn & Ginger sent me these goodies, I was excited of the perfect amount of sheerness, the color, and the timeless yet trendy feel.

And I finally fall in love with these cheap brogues. You won't believe that I only paid $20 for these beauties! They're actually a size smaller than my actual size (for this brand) but I can't help not to buy them because they are just... PERFECT!

One more thing, check out my feature on Forever 21: The Skinny Blog!

So... how's your weekend, cupcakes? xx

i'm bound to pack it up.

noreply@blogger.com (Marla Singer) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 13:59:00 +0000

Who doesn't resist members-only shopping club that gives access to luxuriousness at amazing deals? Imagine all the pretentious brands range from Prada, Miu Miu, Gucci, Hermes, Chanel, Mulberry, etc etc etc...

That's my unique experience when I jumped on Reebonz and God... I was like literally drooling over myself to see all those things that I couldn't afford. If you got extra extra bucks to spend on branded stuffs, Reebonz is definitely a perfect choice to get investment on luxury things yet saving your money through their pretty awesome deals.

But when I browsed Reebonz and accidentally clicked through Marc by Marc Jacobs Men, some of them surprisingly wouldn't break my wallet! So I decided to give my husband a little surprise. I purchased Marc By Marc Jacobs Solid Packables Shopper Bag and Marc By Marc Jacobs Packables Duffle Bag both with macho-wacho puma patterns which I know that my husband would like.

They came with beautiful packaging (simple yet luxurious black box is addictive!), free shipping cost, and great deals! Perfection at its best!

Love the patterns, the packable function, the flattering fit, and the light-weight material. The shopper bag is absolutely a daily go-to bag for him and nothing's better than the duffle bag for couple-days trip.

See? Sounds pretty much interesting?

Join the club HERE and like they said, UNVEIL THE SURPRISE! :D

Got a package (handmade bag!) from Desi Perwita a while ago but I just had a chance to post it. She's the one who made this lovely graphic illustration. I think it's a bit weird to see your face on a bag but this is truly lovely. Hehe. Thank you so much ♥♥

Those statues and gorgeous architectural structures are just... breathtaking.

coming back to life.

noreply@blogger.com (Marla Singer) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 13:56:00 +0000

I'm back! You know what?! I was abducted by an alien that caused my super long hiatus on this blog so I couldn't post anything and bore you with my unnecessary words about my boring life...... Naaah, I'm kidding. Hahaha. I made up a stupid reason so you could forgive me for being such a bad bad bad blogger. I think it's my bad habit to be hiatus on summer and come back on fall (I did the same last year. Uh huh.). Well, personal life is the one and only reason why I ditched this blog so long till I felt bad about it and I almost shut this blog down because of the guiltiness I've been through lately. I'm currently in my comfort zone, focusing about how to take care of my little family and getting settled of undone things that being neglected. I rarely spend time in front of my computer like I used to do a while back. Maybe it's a bit hard to keep my consistency to blog regularly right now but I will try my best. Done with the junk and gonna post up something tomorrow. Probably will update my blog store, too. Hooray! :D

ps: THANK YOU for your mentions, emails, and comments that remind me how lucky I am to have such lovely readers like you, remind me that you still read my blog. THANK YOU xxx

I'm a huge fan of astronomy and visiting Bosscha in private way is one of the most amazing experiences in my life, to be honest. It's a shame that I've wasted twenty-two years of my life and I never had a chance to explore one of the most amazing places in my country (according to the geeks like meh, for sure)! How did it happen? Well, one of my relatives happened to work there and when I visited Bandung, he offered me a chance to observe Bosscha on my own for about an hour in the sunny afternoon. Whoa! I'm so excited to know nobody else was there. Too bad the dome couldn't be opened and I couldn't look through the super giant telescope. Ha. Even so, touching the telescope for the first time and exploring everything in the dome gave me shivers already.

What annoys me so much is no decent pictures inside the dome to be showed here because of the blurs and poor lights =[ Dude, I seriously need to hire a photographer to follow me everywhere or give my man some courses to take decent photos. But at least these ones are not bad at all, don't you think?

This is like... my all-time favorite sweater. Oversized, chunky, super-warm, LEATHER ELBOW-PATCHES (I DIEEE!), and in neutral color. Oh, and I'm glad I finally had chance to show you the little friend of my giant faux leather backpack.

The delightful little park on Bosscha area. Look at those flowers!

I'm just waiting for another special access to observe it at night and stargaze through the amazing telescope (even for couple minutes!). Aaaahhhh... I ask too much. But, wish me luck! Hahaha ;P

I've forced myself to update my blog store but all I got in my room is pile of clothes and the hanging camera. Poor. The lazy part is always taking pictures of all those stuffs. I really wish I had photographer husband. *cough*

I actually had no idea what I wanted to wear with the hat. I didn't want to look 'too much' but I always try to avoid 'too simple and boring' outfit, too. I think pale pink and maroon is not a bad combination, though.

Scored this skirt several months ago but I just had chance to wear it. Love the heart prints soooo much! Oh, and the socks are great pairs for the boots so my ugly toes didn't peek out. Ha ha =D

Just a short outfit post. I feel very lame for the last few days. The gloomy weather lately doesn't help at all. I got no choice but rolling around my bed with big blanket and a pile of books to read... and too much food to eat.

Yeah. This is such casual outfit. I could jump in my bed and suddenly fall asleep remembering how comfortable this outfit is! This "PJ pants" are the perfect choice for hanging around in lazy way.

And what is the best company besides my denim loafers and some good music?

That was a cloudy day and I really enjoyed those few hours I spent with my fellow Aquarian blogger, Miy of The Picnic Girl. She was the owner of Cups, the cozy little cafe that I loved to be when I goofed around and enjoyed the nice quietude. Now, we found another favorite place called Peacock, a place to sip a cup of chocolate or even green tea while talking about everything in life. Girls always be girls.

I was amazed by the effort that Miy took to polish up this little gathering! She brought her own home-made treats to beautify the minimalist coffee table and not to mention, they tasted delicious. Look at those brownies and strawberries and cornflake-balls... And how she arranged them to be a tower of sweet treats from heaven!

I have to admit that I don't write as impressive as Miy. She always know how to nail little stories through the pictures. It's like telling fairy tales to the children before they're going to bed! So, check out her delightful post about this little meet-up, too! Ahhhh... I just can't wait for the other time we'll spend together again as picnic pals...

I'm back! It feels like I've left my blog forever but yeah... I'm back on track! A lot of awful and wonderful things that I've been through over the past three months woke me up and brought on the fact that I'm no longer living in wonderland. Life is rollercoaster, baby.

It feels so good to take care of my personal things and rebuild the wreckage because of the not-so-pretty young things I've done back then. I know I've learned a lot to be a more responsible woman. Even though ditching cyber world for a moment wasn't an option for me, I knew that I needed some time to put aside everything but reality on my plate and wolf down the dish.

I'm still craving nudes for spring. Groundbreaking, no?

This delicate lace shorts significantly become my fave things at the moment. And a perfect straw hat definitely completes my day. Yeay.
