You are my sunshine

I've been so busy this month, hence the delay of my blog posts. I can't wait for the end of February to come because my bf is going to visit me for few days. Then, we're going to Medan together. Every time I think about it, it totally lightens up my day. Hope you guys are enjoying your day as well! :)

Will you be my valentine?

Next week is Valentine's day! Some of you might think, "I don't have boyfriend/girlfriend, who am I going to celebrate it with?" Hey, I'm telling you guys, my bf and I are living in two different cities, but everyday is Valentine's day for us. So, why bother celebrating it only on Feb 14th? Valentine's day isn't always about being with your bf/gf. It's about expressing our feelings to the loved ones. They can be our parents, our friends, and even our pets! Have you prepared something special for your loved ones?

Little horses are running around

How's your weekend? Everyday is actually a weekend for me. A super busy weekend! And I am so excited that January is almost over. Time really flies. I don't have anything to ramble this time. These pictures were taken when I was in Toronto. I really miss wearing those thick coats and jackets.

They say red means good luck

After almost 5 years, I am so happy that I can finally celebrate Lunar New Year with my whole family again. Thus, I'm wearing two bright colors that represent happiness and good luck in Chinese culture, yellow and red. This outfit is also inspired by my yellow Loubs.

I heart leopard

I have to confess that I'm not the most rational shopper. My eyes are fixed on the smallest details on a garment. It could be the adorable buttons, the pleating details, the shining hardware, and in this case, the heart shaped pocket with leopard pattern on this chiffon blouse. It almost doesn't matter what the rest of the blouse looks like, as long as it fits, I simply fall in love with the furry leopard detail. Luckily for me, my irrational purchase won't go wasted because this leopard trend won't go away anytime soon.
Have you ever bought something only because the small details on it caught your eyes?

Tweed obsession || Tweed blazer

I found this pictures in my external hard drive and realized I haven't posted them. I'm still adapting to a new life. I haven't got the time to take new pictures, so I'll post it anyway.
After I bought my Coco Chanel inspired tweed jacket from H&M, which I posted here, I've been eyeing tweed a lot lately. What do you think of this tweed blazer?

Goodbye school days, Au Revoir Toronto

Happy new year, my dear bloggers and readers. I've been so busy these days because... I'm back to Indonesia! yes, for good! Although I'm going back to Toronto on June for my graduation ceremony, I'm sad leaving all my friends and this awesome city. Yet I'm excited to start a new life. It's summer all year round here in Indonesia! Isn't it great?!

I took pictures of my last winter outfit in Toronto before I threw my UGG away. This is my typical school outfit. Some people might not like UGG boots. When I first came to Canada, I did hate them so much. I thought these are the ugliest boots I've ever seen. Until one day I tried them on after walking the whole day during a super cold day, I felt like I was in Heaven. *exaggerated* Oh well, these are not the most fashionable boots, but these are the most comfy winter boots which are totally perfect for Toronto weather.

Snake skin leggings

I was so happy when I received this snake skin leggings which I bought on eBay the other day. I thought it was black when I saw it on the picture. But this reddish brown is actually the perfect color! I keep the rest of my outfit really simple, so the snake skin print can stand out.

Pythons do not have venom

The other day, I went to Lowe's Christmas Market. It is located at the Distillery District, Toronto's historic district with red brick-lined street. I've been loving this place so much because there are lots of cafe, restaurants, and art shops. It's a great place for hanging out with friends. This event made this place even better. The decoration was beautiful, especially in the evening. Sadly, I went on its last day, which is last Sunday.

Coco Chanel Inspired Tweed

Who doesn't love Chanel tweed jacket? But, mine is actually from H&M. It is so Coco Chanel inspired yet at a fraction of the price. I also got it on sale few days ago!

Metallic is in the air

Yay! Exams were done. And yes, my life won't be completed without post-exam shopping! Not much, just getting some basic tees at Eaton, and some holiday nail polishes. Okay I lied! I ended up buying some new clothes which will be worn and posted in the next posts. *Guilty pleasure*  

Eaton centre is right across the street from my campus. They always put this huge Christmas tree covered by Swarovski crystals every year, yet I never took a single picture of it. And this year, they also add some giant metal reindeers. Hence, my metallic outfit is inspired by their shiny metal!

Say yellow!

Here I am writing this post when I'm supposed to be studying for my exam. But, how can you resist this lovely weather?! Although it's still chilly, but Mr. Sunshine kept calling me to take some pictures outside. Even Chloe (my adorable Maltese) was asking me to take a stroll! *but she always does anyway, lol.

Atelophobia

Final exam period is here! And yet I'm having this pre-exam shopping, when I'm supposed to be studying. How can you resist all those sale and discounts?! tee hee. 

Is this preppy enough?

First of all, happy thanksgiving day! Although I prefer to call it Black Friday because thanksgiving in Canada was last month. Hurray for big sale in US. Some stores here also offer black friday sale, though not as much as the stores in US, I'm still going to check it out for sure!

When Grandpa inherited me a sweater

For those of us who live in US/Canada, today is the launching of Versace for H&M. No, I'm not lining up, I also didn't come super early for shopping the items. I didn't expect to still get stuff that's my size, but I did. Thanks to my sweet bf. I finished work at 4 PM, when my bf was already there picking up some stuff for me ;) I'll share my haul in the next post.

'Teal' the Sun rises

Yay! I just bought a new Macbook Pro. After being loyal to PC throughout my life, I finally convinced myself to get some life changing experience *I'm such a drama queen, lol*
Well, I still love my vaio, so I'm using both now! I use my mac for watching movie, photo editing, etc, and my vaio for some school work. Fair enough? ;)

I'm wearing poppy!

Today is Remembrance Day, also known as Poppy Day, which is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of World War I to remember the armed forces who have died in the line of duty (source: wikipedia).
In Canada, Remembrance Day is a public holiday in all provinces and territories except Ontario and Quebec. Yes, I live in Ontario, so there is no holiday for me.
Well, anyway.. here's my poppy look.

McQueen can make you look like a queen

It's been a great weekend! Even though it's super breezy, but the sun isn't shy at all this week! ♥
I ate at Congee Wong restaurant with my friends just now. Yay for midnight supper! I think it is the best congee place in Toronto. If you live in Toronto and haven't tried this place, you should really try their super bowl congee and spicy turnip. Don't worry, it's not spicy at all, although I'd prefer spicy food. (I've spent almost half of my life living overseas, but my Indonesian spicy food appetite and tolerance still remain :D)
And as usual, we're too hungry to remember to take a picture.

 

I just need speed on my damier

I'm finally done with my midterms and assignments! Well, not all of them, but most of them that make me worry are done :)
I guess you can tell from my super heavy eye bags and dark circles due to lack of sleep. But thanks to concealer and Clinique eye roller, my dark circles look a lot better in the picture.
The weather has been nice these days. I hope I didn't jinx it! lol.

If I were a boy

Thanks to essays and lab reports, I'm not going anywhere for Halloween. Yes I know, I'm such a nerd ;p I ended up not participating in any costume party, so I just want to wear something different but still wearable in any event.
