Inspirations for tudung nikah

Since I'll be having my akad in a masjid, Insyallah, I would want to wear a proper tudung. Not just the selendang, covering my side-swept curled hair, with flowers to top the look. Hmm gaya macam dah fikir untuk tak pakai tudung je :p Hehe no lah, that was my original plan. I did some re-thinking and decided that I want to wear the tudung, lagi ayu kan?

To find the tudung is not easy! I have specific criterias that I do NOT want in a tudung.

One, no "awning". You know this type, the keras-dekat-depan type. I dont think its a good look for me. Plus susah nanti masa upacara membatalkan wudhu'. Habis penyek bila kena kiss.

Two,

ok, no number two. I only have that one criteria that I do NOT want.

But, I also know that I want something fancy for the tudung. Possibly a tudung with a veil of some sort. Since we'll be having a casual reception after, I want to wear something fancier lah. Oh oh, NO crowns!! I do not like that look! My personal view okay?

So, I went googling and found these...

Look #1 - My favourite, actually.

Look #2 - Nice, but I think this would not compliment my baju nikah so much.

Finally, Look #3 - I love this too, but I'm going to have to wear something inside.

So yeah, I'm just going to let Syomir do his creative thang and design me a fabulous tudung nikah ;)

p/s no pressure Syomir ;)

Crates Crazy!

Ohmygod!! This is exactly what I was thinking of doing for our home office!!!!! Ahhh, and to think that I got the inspiration without looking at any pictures/blogs/etc. I feel like I very creative like that. Anyhoos, mine hasn't materialized yet because I haven't found the crates in KL. I called up one of the wine shops (simply because they are the ones that use crates and would prolly have them) in Desa Sri Hartamas, but they said they don't keep theirs. ??!! I have to say, tho, that I haven't been trying hard enough. I could just drop by and ask from all these wine shops, Cold Storage etc. Okay, I am now driven to do so. After looking at the beautiful end product! Wish me luck in my search. If you know where I can get them, do tell! Thank you. Photo taken from Pinterest

Happy Birthday Jid!

My friend, Jid turned 29 today!! She's on maternity leave now, having just given birth to her second (!!!) son 3 weeks ago. Today, a few of my friends went to her house to celebrate. I couldn't be there as I had a few events to attend today. *sob* But, the pictures that my friend posted looks beautiful. Natte made a rainbow birthday cake and it looked absolutely divine. To my dearest J, hope you had a wonderful birthday. I pray that you and your lil family be blessed always with boutifuls of rezeki and happiness. Here's to a lifetime of friendship! Love you xx A I think I should stop before you cringe and puke. When I say you, I dont mean you my dear readers. I meant her, the girl who's heart is made of steel. Hehe. I kid, Jid. :p

Yogyakarta, Indonesia

We are going to Yogyakarta for a short getaway, yay! Husband and I have been talking about going away during our Month of Love since we got married, 3 years ago. We finally get to do so this year since there no cousins/relatives getting married this time around. Since I don't have a lot of annual leave (-___-) we decided to go someplace near. Husband loves the hustle and bustle of citylife and I've been wanting to see Borobudur, so Yogyakarta is the perfect destination for us! Aside from Borobodur, we haven't done our research yet as to what we want to see and do there. So any inputs from you would be awesome! I'm also looking forward to staying in the hotel. One thing about me is that I LOVE myself some fancy hotels! And the place we are staying at is just that. In pictures that is. I hope it's not one of those 'indah khabar dari rupa' type. Here, check it out. Lobby Poolside Deluxe Room Pretty, ...
