Under The City Lights

It's a long road and it gets windy / Fog is real low and it's so blinding / Oh I'm tryna steer, tryna take the lead / But I feel like the road is steering me / Getting so lost, like a cast away / Feeling so crossed, like a renegade / And I'm tryna call out in the big city / Just a small voice and no ones listening to me

(City Lights - Bridgit Mendler)

Everyone can be in such situation described above. I got lost a lot to, especially when driving (literally, and metaphorically) - road signs are not always easily seen and some maps are not that clear to help us finding the right way. Things also get worse at night when its dark. But city lights are everywhere, they said. You just need to catch their reflections and light up your visions, while keep on walking... keep on trying. Well... have a safe trip :)

Another university day, on trousers and leathers. I went into these cold blue and black palette with touch of leathers (that will never go wrong) because the weather has been so gloomy as well lately. It's something I'd like to call casually preppy... Easy way to dress up on semi-formal occassion! :)

Amigos

Hanging out with the boys at Ismaya Cafe last time, and took bunch of pictures of us. That was my first trial of using Samsung's NX300 camera as well, and now I'm sharing some of my favorite ones so you can see the very nice result it made. I didn't do any coloring or editing here, they all just got resized into smaller pixels. Amazing how a mirrorless camera can produce these quality of images!

Started by casual dinner, followed by outfit picture taking. One of the benefits of bringing small but super smart camera! And as always, conversation with friends are always healing. Thanks God for friendship :)

Just Gatsby

The Great Gatsby drives everyone crazy lately. I've been so much into 20s-30s mood since I cut my hair short, but lately when I realise it grows so fast I feel like cutting it back into this particular hair style I adore from The Great Gatsby. Something glamour, something Parisian Chic, something "diva" alike that you can pull out from short hair. These days we seemed to be ignorant and always in rush, that we forget the fun of having glam stylings every a while! I also love finding out inspiration from other fashion bloggers about the specific theme of dressing-up (that reminds me a lot about this movie, by the end). Going for parties or formal occassions are evenmore entertaining now when I have certain theme to dig! Have you seen The Great Gatsby yet? You really should :)

Blue Saturday

My cousin is getting married today. We used to spend our childhood time together, but then grew up in different city, so there's an awkward kind of familiarity when finally we meet again for the wedding. The time when you pause the time frames on your mind and looking back into those fine old days, collecting particles of memory, feeling odd for the sake of those forgotten past. If it wasn't for his wedding, I would have completely forgetting those times. How sad it is, to be forgotten? To end up being ignored, eventhough once before they were flames and sparks of our life. Funny things to recall on someone's wedding really, beside giving me excuse for wearing this lovely cutout dress and styling my hair in light-bouffant up-do with tiny fringe rolls. Blue saturday feels good so far... Wish you're having a sweet one too!

A New Companion

I got myself a new camera last week, the tiny but so-versatile Samsung NX-300 in (of course) brown leather color. It has that specific retro shape I'd always admire, and efficiently small so I don't have to carry that oversized camera bag everywhere anymore. I haven't learn much about its complete feature because there seemed to be a lot, but I brought the camera to some events already so I'll make sure to share you more pictures soon. Excited much! Based on my Instagram, some of you would like to see the review on this blog... I'm working on it so stay updated! :)
