Jessie Randall for Target

Target's newest designer collaboration is with Jessie Randall of Loeffler Randall. I am always on the look out for ballet flats and these metallic ones are adorable. The matching bags are cute to. Available at Target stores December 30th.

Sequin Tops Galore

I have spotted so many cute sequined tops and dresses lately. I love this one by Jamison, and the back is all cotton which gives it a more casual feel. It would look great with dark skinny jeans.

Wish Bone Necklace

These wishbone necklaces are simple and wimsical at the same time. They are great paired with other necklaces or worn alone. And best of all the sybolize good luck and furtune or at least the with for. Available at Selena Lynn $99.

Lace Tights

I just returned from spending Thanksgiving in Montreal. Montreal is very European and they speak french. Montreal also has it's own unique fashion style. I wanted to share some of my Montreal finds with you. First of all, I spotted these lace tights. They are so sexy! Almost burlesque. But paired with a jean skirt and some high boots they come off tres chic. Available $12 at Asos.

Putting Aside Job Hunting

Job hunting is very very frustrating. Added by some personal problems that still bothers my peaceful mind and heart, I decided to stop seeking jobs for a while and just calm down myself. Sigh, I am very speechless when it comes to this topic.

A Day in KL

Before heading back to Jakarta, my parents decided to at least have some final enjoyment by staying at a hotel in KL, meaning, we moved out from our lovely house in Damansara...hhmm...:( Well, today Sharjeel picked me up at the hotel, and there off we started a splendid day together with our dearest friends as well...

Our first stop, again, the Pavilion...and why is that so? That's because our hotel is located exactly next to the Pavilion hihihi...lucky me...:) There, we met up with Sany and accompanied him for lunch at Yo! Sushi House (Sharjeel and I had lunch already just before he came heheh)...according to Sany, the food there was really good, as in, very authentic....

After lunch, we then had ice cream heheh..yum yum. While eating, I was curious on the fruits they put as the shop's decoration..I wondered...are they real?? Kinda stupid I know, but it was quite tricky...turns out, they're fake!! Heheh...seriously, they look real to me..

After Pavilion, we headed to Sungei Wang to meet up with Hans and Rio...guess what?? Sharjeel and I went for roller skating muaahahhaha...the rest chose not to join and played cards instead hihihi....


Well, that was quite the day...a nice enjoying day...had some chicken hainan rice for dinner then went back to the hotel....love ya my friends...love you the most Sharjeel..thank you...:)

The Everyday Ideas

From simple ideas, comes great inspiring accessories hehehe...my personal favorites from Shana Logic shop...

Pavillion

Pavilion is one of the new shopping centers in KL (another one is The Gardens), which falls under the category of posh. I realize that there's nothing much I can spend my money on in this place, but I do enjoy the clean, spacious and high-class environment hehehe...well, anyways, J.Co Donuts expanded their franchise business to Malaysia, and helloooooo Malaysia, they opened their very first shop in Pavilion, a very good entry strategy I must say. It's been almost 2 months since their opening, but J.Co Donuts seems to be successful in keeping the buzz on and attract soooo many customers each and every day. This is how extremely full J.Co Donuts was today...kuh-ray-zeeee...

Moving on, I'm pretty lucky cuz there seemed to be many interesting things going on in this place today. As I was about to exit the plaza, there were these 2 super cute clowns handing out balloons to the young visitors which I couldn't resist on not taking pictures with them hehehe....

Then, just outside the shopping center, another attention-grabbing event was this some kind of action by random young people holding signs of "FREE HUGS". I was like, "huh??". Then one lady came up to me and said, "Hi, free hugs!! Want a hug?". I said, "for what?", and she replied, "for love"..hehhe. So I just said, "Oh..ok...hug hug" and smiled (and not hug for real cuz it felt really akward). That was funny. I mean, I've never seen such thing. Cute, but weird. I took some pictures of them.


Well...that was an interesting day. Nonetheless, I did buy something today. Found these unbranded shoes at such an affordable price. Lovely. Black shoes with thin high-heels, and my favorite part would be the front edge that has this gradient color of blue. Hhm..cool.

Oh,Vivienne.

I believe this style has already been introduced earlier back then cuz as far as I remember this thing really isn't something new...but, it's making a come back one more time as seen in Vivienne Westwood's new shoes collection; wearing your socks over your heels. My opinion, it's a yay from the front, but a nay when you look at it from the side...lol...

One more thing about Vivienne's shoes...they are so so high that if you notice carefully these models are actually like ballet dancing hehehhe...why do we women like to torture ourselves just for the sake of fashion...

The Essentials

I’m doing pretty well with my shopping-addiction treatment these days...if before I would spend my money on anything I see and be attracted to…now I’m doing much better dealing with my irrational cravings…what I do now is browse over the internet and make a list of what I’m gonna buy for the month. And, I also try to decide with full consciousness on what exactly are the things I need, instead of those I want…heheheh. The things I need would be those I can wear often and easy to mix and match. Well, that’s what I did this month as well. And hooray, I bought them today; Topshop leather pants and a Zara black sweater. Well I did go for some additional necklaces, but that was because they were on a huge discount, a reason I find coherent to break my rules a bit…;p

I seriously don’t know why I’m into black, leather and gloves lately. No, I am not inspired by Rihanna, puh-leez. As life and fashion are exactly well represented as a cycle, I think I am currently wheeled back to those moments when I used to play in a band and was always trying to pull off a rock look heheheh…I never label myself as a rocker though...but, I do have a huge adoration towards stuffs like leather, black costumes, studded items, and boots.

Next Target

I'm weak for eccentric hats...so I must have this one from Miss Selfridge.... checked it out today and they say it's not available yet here in KL...gonna be waiting then...:)

And btw, I gave my fake Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses to Sharjeel cuz it looks really good on him...I hope I come across those glasses once again....:)

My Day

Today was such a beautiful day...visiting Sharjeel and my uni have always been my preference in which at the end of the day I would be smiling and recalling the day as the perfect day. It may sound weird that I in fact enjoy hanging out with Sharjeel in the uni instead of, let's say, in shopping centers or restaurants, but being in that place just gives me these different romantic sparks that I truly adore. It feels home, our home. Sigh...gonna miss these kind of times a lot as I will be heading back to Jakarta next week, for good. Oh dear, I feel sad already. *angry, sad, upset*

I don't feel like writing now...anyway here's some inspirations all from the Tres Bien Shop....

Eco Gift - Succulent Wreath

This gorgeous living wreath includes five groups of green-gray, burgundy and silver succulents. The eco-plants included are water-saving crassia, lichen and other unique yet compatible varieties that thrive with minimal watering every six to eight weeks. 13"D. Available at Viva Terra.

D-I-Y Gloves

Yesterday, Sharjeel and I visited the CK Calvin Klein shop in Pavillion, and my heart just melted seeing the stuffs they have...having the theme in black, their clothes, shoes, and accessories were just so so inspiring...and, I fell in love with these gloves...


Turned the tag, and, yikes, RM 399!! Hohoho....being blinded by the coolness, instead of saying "What the heck!!??" towards the ridiculous price, I instead thought "Diana, get a job and buy this one day!!" Lol....how stupid I was hehehhe....Sharjeel then told me that we can actually make these gloves by ourselves very easily using socks or something similar...and... tadaaaaaa...I bought these socks today and cut them to the desired design....hehehe....


Well, turns out okay, I mean, it was a bit loose on my hand..but I'm still happy with it and will definitely wear it...I'll try to buy socks which are longer (and tighter) so it'll turn out more like CK's....:)

Cosa Nostra by Project Runways Jeffrey Sebelia

Last years Project Runway winner Jeffrey Sebelia has launched a lower price point line called Cosa Nostra. Cosa Nostra still maintains Sebelia's edgy rocker goth image but the price point is $38-$78. His latest creations are not yet posted on the Cosa Nostra website but here are some looks from a previous collection.

Awesomeness!!

One word for MK's pictures in the new edition of Nylon magazine....AWESOME!!! Woah...i looove the pics....great photographer I must say!! Well, Nylon do often come up with spanking new ideas, so I don't find it surprising that they managed to present MK in a different touch of quirkiness, which, very well explains her actual personality I guess....these are my favorite pics...

The H Word: Happy.

I am an incredibly happy person, not because my life is entirely perfect, but because I choose to live in happiness. I do find myself tired sometimes, as being happy requires a thoughtful vision to grasp the art of life. At these times, I ask myself, “Diana, are you sure you want to quit being happy?” I then answer myself, “If I refuse to live happy today, then I might just die in sadness”.

Whatever happens, do be positive about this life. No matter how sickening things can stumble upon you, or how hopeless you feel about your situation, do remember that life has never been simple, so just deal with it. Everything, has a way out. Think positive, be happy. No matter what.

Beauty Find: Artistry Lip Care Kit

Chapped winter lips? I have found the perfect solution. The Artistry Lip Care Kit includes a Lip Polish which gently exfoiliates chapped lips. While the Lip Conditioner helps to sooth and moistorize. The perfect combination to get rid of rough wind blown lips. Price $22.

Sexy Holiday Tops

I love getting dressed up for the holidays. Bring out the satin and the sequins! However, I don't like to spend a lot of money on something I only get to wear once a year. These satin tops by Vera Wang for Kohls are super affordable and you can dress them up or they can also be paired with wooly sweaters for a feminine fall or winter look. Hence you get to wear them more than once.

Dear you,

I love you, for who you are, for what you are, now and then, no matter where you come from, no matter where you are, no matter what people say. You have my words. 143.


But....I'll keep my words as long as you have no tummy and you shave off those thick mustache of yours every single day....hehehe...jk...

Studded Platforms

New picks from Topshop....I must have those studded crossover platforms.. hehehe...


Oh...and those shiny PVC skinny trousers...hhmpphh...love it a lot..

Must Visits

More shops to visit, people...bah...I love love love the stuffs they have..
