Look For Stars.

2016-04-10T01:05:00.001-07:00

Forgot about the iced latte and medallions, was doing a road trip with my family. I was wearing this sleeveless crop top which also my usual workout top (wearable piece for everyday!). I really want to get a trim to make this long denim skirt shorter or else feeling uncomfortable to wear under this scorching hot weather. However, I still put it on when there's no time to do any changes before this trip. Not so sure that is still a hot topic for the bucket hat or not, yet it's still my favorite. The Nike Air Force 1 Low sneaker which is the best item I bought from my last Tokyo trip, remembered that I'm so excited when spotted it at ABC-Mart, Shinjuku.

Tokyo Photo Diary pt1.

2016-03-05T05:35:00.005-08:00

Back to last October when I still moving and swirling like the locals in a crowded Tokyo street, staying warm with couple cups of coffee - just like the best time of my life. This is the first part of the photos taken in Tokyo, looking forward to share more with you all soon. A five minutes walk from the JR Maihama Station, I arrive to the happiest place on earth - Disneyland! There's a magical place where bringing back my childhood memories and the classic Cinderella song also keep playing in my mind. Also, let's not forget to mention Japanese food - a big fan of udon soup. Loving it so much I could eat it any time in a day. The salmon sashimi is a must try in this trip but in the end we found out that sea urchin slices are surprisingly good. ( I need this now please). Missing Tokyo after home and really get to explore some other places in Japan soon xxx

FIND IT OUT.

2016-01-03T07:32:00.000-08:00

I went for earth tone colors when don't really being into ''dark mood''. It's not too earthy while pairing with stripes pants in navy. This is my another favorite way to wear casual during the weekend, especially for a coffee run or just about walking around those neighborhood. Also going to have one week getaway with besties, too much to plan for our trip and I really need more outerwear. Hell yeah.

NEW YEAR 2016.

2016-01-01T09:37:00.002-08:00

A new year is knocking on our door. I always feel great after starting workout over 10 months ago, life become a little more exciting and I know this year will be better than the last. I've tried to eat closer to nature and to be successful at a fitness routine. Skipping to have my favorite movie and spending time on the treadmill help to reduce stress and anxiety after a busy day at work. In last year, I get to know my body more and try to change unhealthy lifestyle habits. It sounds harsh to me while I don't really exercise regularly (last time running for 10 min, it kills me!). Yet there's always space for improvement, another note to myself - perhaps I'm stronger than I think.

Bangkok Photo Diary.

2015-04-26T08:38:00.001-07:00

Bangkok city- a place that I would like to visit again and again. I guess the coolest thing in this trip was too much of walk until I can barely feel my legs, yet I still pretty enjoy for this and those Thai food is the best ( don't miss tomyam pls). I' rather be taking pictures of this beautiful city then spending time in the coffee shop although I'd listed some must-go-places. Bf and I hunting places like those tourists but we find out that catching trains is quite interesting since our last train ride is when we were 17. I'm going to visit to this place soon and no way I'm already on my way .

A good day.

After a partly cloudy morning, I finished breakfast with dad and plan to soak into drama marathon for the whole evening. Then there's a call, so I switch off my laptop and go for a walk. Kinda missing cafe latte topped with whipped cream (my favourite's!), but ends up sipping sparkling juice after finish whole bowl of mashed potato. Sunday is always the best day to keep calm and do anything like nothing happen. Although it's a gloomy day, I'm wearing floppy hat and casual tees( just for looking not so normal) and look pretty simple to have all in black. It's been couple months since I back from Bangkok, still browsing through the photos and gotta pick some to show here. Stay tuned :)

Macau Photo Diary.

2014-11-08T03:29:00.000-08:00

A 4 hour flight from home and 2 nights spending in the town. I wish to exploring plenty of fantastic tourist attractions in Macau yet walking too much along the random streets. Hunting local foods is my top to do list in the trip, been on a biscuit hunt at Macau though I'm not a fan of this cruncy snack. Apparently been wearing a lot of solid color tops and bottoms at Macau, the gloomy weather is too good to be put on some cozy sweater (dull base).

My pants need to be wrinkle-free after a movie date while spending an hour more sitting in a movie theatre.

This is actually for the one who is in a rush for going out, put on everything which have the same hues, meanwhile you are wearing perfectly nice. These are the photos I had taken before I chopped my hair off *hair flip*. Bet that you guys can really look into it in my instagram (link below the blog title).

There are some pictures which we took right after I got my hair colour done. Dying back hair colour to copper red and did a little trim for the roots - currently having the shortest hair length among these years, feeling fresh and it's easier to make a ponytail with this length too! Dress down for a bit here while I feel like wearing a tee and a black pleated skirt. This is simple and quick for me to look into the wardrobe for few minutes before off to the town. Also taking a close shot for my current favourite's leather backpack, nothing is boring even though I bringing it out like everyday.

Been really work hard to plan for my next trip lol - doing research for the travels, local foods and something interesting. This is sucks when you have nothing in mind how this far far away country is, I have a thousand words to write yet all this things make me feel awfully strange.

I was trying to have something comfortable to wear, that would be perfect while putting on the oversized tee ( thanks to my bro for lending me this) and some flowy skirt. I don't know why but always fond of wearing colour socks with the different type of sandal shoes. The twist yarn cotton socks is really cheer me up with a touch of red on heel and toe's part - can't stop to collect all the socks and I had couple pairs from Daiso yesterday, awesomely perfect for this cozy season.

I truly believe that all of us can make things better and even more perfect.Well beside of talking all this, there's a new outfit post to share with you guys. I'm wearing my new DIY denim tee-seems like it's been a while for some DIY time here! This is actually a quite easy one, get trimmed off my thrifted denim shirt and left with the bottom part, joining it to the white t-shirt (seen in previous post) which I've been trimmed off and left with the upper part . It took half an hour to finish the DIY denim t-shirt and I put it on immediately with the PU leather pullover and creeper shoes to create this casual edgy look. It's kind of fun way for this muted color combination by pairing the F21 polka dot socks.
