Am obsessed with midi skirt..
and this one from ASOS looks so pretty to me..
mama..

Introducing the new look of my cambridge satchel, embossed!

Yes yes yes yes! I had it done, embossed, in gold, M.A.R.
and i am supa dupa Happy about it..

So here it is, a pic of my sexy cambridge satchel bag with its MAR embossing.
I got my bag from the Cottage Industry, the only supplier for Cambridge Satchel in Melbourne, and as im sure everyone knows, they dont do embossing..
i dont know why arent they interested in providing this service, knowing that a lot of their customer will happily pay big bucks to get it done there..
well, i guess it might not be worthed to buy the equipment, or they just dont want to get too caught up with its fanatic fans.. you know how some fans can be difficult to please?!


So, the lovely lady in the shop always answer everyone who asked about embossing with the same answer..
"you can bring it to some book maker to get it embossed"
well, having english as my 2nd language, who knows that book maker can have a different meaning..
no wonder its really hard for me to google up some book maker here in Melbourne..
in case anyone interested, here's a link from dictionary.com for bookmaker definition..

book·mak·er
/ˈbʊkˌmeɪkər/ Show Spelled[book-mey-ker] Show IPA
noun

1. a person who makes a business of accepting the bets of others on the outcome of sports contests, especially of horse races.
2. a person who makes books.

it tooks me a while, until i realise that i might need to search with a different term..
tell me about it! but seems like no one has ever figure it out either..
anyway, i googled up "book binder" instead of "book maker" and *whoala....*

out of all results, i chose this one, since its quite close to where i live,
and the guy replied my email rite away,
and he charged me for $35 (acceptable i guess),
and he's Russian..
.. ok am kidding, i dont even know how he looks until i went there..

so moral of the story:
"think out of the box" and "get your satchel embossed, since it looks sexy!"

till next time!

Fairlie Tony Bianco - Saddle Black Suede

Fairlie Tony Bianco - Saddle Black Suede is what am getting next from TB!
and since am leaving in a week time, i reckon the wise-st thing to do is to wait till i get back..
who knows it might be on sale by that time, rite?

Aviator vs Wayfarer - Ray Ban

Different people have different likes and dislikes. I just cant decide which one to get. or at least to get first? ;)
aviators or wayfarers.. always is the question!

IMO, aviator goes well with any face type, and its classic..
i honestly think everyone in this world should have at least one pair of aviator..
Basic rule:
narrow face should go with small size,
otherwise go with medium
and large only if you really have a wide face.. :)

so this is what i got at first..
cant remember precisely when, but it must be somewhere around Sept
Black Ray Ban Aviator - RB3449 004/9A

i was not planning to buy another pair anytime soon..
but who can resist this piece of promotion that a friend gave to me..

so yar, i quickly get my warfarer, not just one, but two!
blame the promotion ye? not me!
Black Ray Ban Wayfarer Square - RB2151 901 for me...

and Black Ray Ban Wayfarer - RB2140 901 for Dad!


Short story..
yar i got two pairs of Ray Ban in my hand now..
and am happy..
very bery happy :)

MSFW: Melbourne Spring Fashion Week

Should i go or not?

MSFW is one of those annual event on fashion that the City of Melbourne actually holding..
We surely got heaps of designers over here,
and having to see their newest collection for next season before its released is surely fun..

I went to this event last year, with my friends..
and I wanted to go again this year..
but should i or should i not?
there's just too many things going on atm..
*as always*
anyway, still got some time,
the event is not until the end of August i guess

btw,
Lucy McIntosh is the face of MSFW 2010,
while we got, Ruby Rose as the Melbourne cultural ambassador 2010
~i personally think Lucy looks like Miranda Kerr
but i love Ruby, she looks determined and definitely knows what she's representing..

Lady dior? Burberry? Balenciaga?

Look at these...
what a joy of being a woman..
Will put it all on my wish list..
zzzzz...

Oh wow... Lets start with this one..
I'd love to have a "Lady Dior" bag. It's so chic, isnt it?
and.. Do you know that the bag is actually designed for Lady Diana...
this explains all of the elegance and "lady looking" type of bag ever..


What about this one?
See how handy this two bags will be?
Well, i like the first one for long time already,
but Im thinking maybe just to get the second one,
since it is a lot simpler and handy
plus.. the money will do for me =)


and this one..
maybe im a victim of fashion trends..
a lot of my friends back then in Indonesia is using this bag atm..
i think i should as well get one,
with a colour that can be eye catching or classy?

dream VS reality

TONY BIANCO - Whole store 30% off for one day only, 6pm - 9pm at DFO Southwharf Melbourne!!!

Ha.. What a sentence.. Right after my lovely housemate decided to take me to the event, I quickly looked at my calendar and see if I got things to do at that time. Not that I will say NO to my housemate, I just want to cancel it asap towards my future shoes. Haha.. I might be over reacted, but it just happen to be a dream come true in a small scale for me.. I have been waiting to buy this very basic classy black pump shoes and when it goes to basic, I think Tony Bianco is a good option. In fact, now I think it is the best choice and Wittnerr is my second best.

Anyway, one thing that I kind of love from Tony is that they arranged the store based on the sizes. So I can quickly go to my size 6 and 6,5 section and try whatever they got on my sizes. Rarely that they have a size with a model that they wont display.

EXCEPTION is when the sale and promotion event coming. Since everyone acting wild and 8 shop keepers are just not enough, I have to take a good eye on the shoes that I wanted to buy.....

Here is my plan at first:
Black pump can never go wrong, right?
"classic never dies" - my fave sentence atm!

and i think another black shoes wont hurt?
plus its a wedges, which supposed to be super comfy and again this type of material makes the foot looks sexy.. it's the LV vernis kind of sexyness in a foot... haha

and this one is for my friend, ALINA who i share my shoes pashion for my first choice of shoes at the top.. just she got too many black shoes and now she's looking into something like blue metalic or whatever other colour out there..

OK.. BUT, this is reality...
i always love brown beige sand and nude colour, and this one just looks so perfect, believe me! so i decided to take it, so scared that if i put it back, someone next to me will grab it..

I got only two hands, and my bag is quite heavy, plus the aircon has been switched off since the center is closing at its normal time which is 6pm.. i have to take my jacket off cause otherwise i'll be sweating, and i still choose to carry it around while looking for another shoes..

Next story is, the black wedges i wanted to buy does not looks as good as i thought before, and when i tried the black pump heels on my size, it doesnt give me any edgyness and i started to break down.. But, since thats the only one left on my size, i decided again to carry that one around too..

OK, so far I got two pairs of shoes in my hand while looking for the navy heels that my friend wanted.. apparently they dont put that one out for some reason, they only got it on black colour.. but i only found that out after 30mins going around and around.. till i decided just to queu to the register.. let me say, the register queu kind of blocking the store into half different area, and they work really slow.. hosh..

One blink of eye and "tra tra tra tra" i saw this lovely ankle boot with a covered wedge.. i know this one is a new arrival collection and YES! it looks perfect..

no more tears no more confusion and breaking down, i put the other black pump off and get the boots with the wedges up to the register..

So, end up buying these two fabs fabs fabs pairs.. and yes, dream is not the same as reality.. but in my case, reality does not always have to be worst.. it can be sweet too sometime.. =D

ooops..
and my housemate got this lovely heels (*which I kind of regret not to get one for myself as well - its on sale to $80 and she got extra 30%off, darn it!)

Jolie's Tattoos - Stories Behind Her Growing Collection

I love Jolie~ I always love her, besides the fact that some people thinks she ruined Aniston's lovely marriage (i totally out of discussion bout this one)

Part of the reasons why I love her is her passion in tattoos..
As an actress, she is not common.. She is one of a kind and im luving it.. =)
For every reason that she got, she has now at least a dozen tattoos over her body and she also has quiet a lot of experience with tattoo removal..

List of Angelina Jolie's Tattoos:
1. "know your rights" - Under her neck, between her shoulders
This one is taken from the song title of her favorite band


2. Sanskrit blessing in the Cambodian language - On her left shoulder
This tattoo was done by a tattoo artist Noo (aka Sompong). She did this tattoo to protect her Cambodian adopted daughter from bad luck.
It also covers her old tattoo in Japanese character which means "death"

and here is the translation:
May your enemies run far away from you.
If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.
Your beauty will be that of Apsara.
Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.

3. Arabic script on her right forearm
Some people believe that it means "strength of will" but some deny it by saying that it means "determination" instead


4. Jolie dedicated this tattoo as a prayer to her mother
This prayer comes from Tennessee Williams : "A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages.
"

5. She does not believe to the myth of 13 as a bad luck, so she got this one on her left underarm


6. Cross tattoo with a Latin phrase close to her hip


7. Longitude and latitude coordinates which represents the locations where her kids were adopted from on her left arm (it also cover up her "Billy Bob" - former husband tattoo..

Maddox (N11° 33' 00" E104° 51' 00")
Zahara (N09° 02' 00" E038° 45' 00")
Pax (N10° 46' 00" E106° 41' 40")
and where her and Brad Pitt's children were born at - Shilo (S22° 40' 26" E014° 31' 40")
& twins Vivienne & Knox (N43° 41' 21" E07° 14' 28")

8. Large tiger tattoo on her bottom back - my fave

On her trip to Thai, she decided to get a traditional Thai style tattoo with a large tiger design.. The process was done manually using hand.. She also covered her originally two tiny tribal-style designs on either side of her spine and a small dragon tattoo..

P.S. One of the dream that my bf always wanted to do is having a tattoo.. ha!
