Silk maxi dress

What I didn't tell you in the previous post was that I bought some materials. Not for raya, but for..... hmm stock.  Haha. My pantry of kain deserves another post of its own, but oh another time! 

Anyways, I bought some beautifulllll silk and chiffon materials that day. The colours, oh my, the colours!  From vibrant blue and greens to pastel yellow and pinks. I don't know how people get to keep their head calm in there. 

So, I went in, alone, into my candy-land. Husband couldn't joined me because he had to judged a moot at UITM. An arrangement that both of us couldn't be more than happy about. He gets to sit out of "Sayang, which one is nicer?" questions and I get to shop without restriction. Haha. 

I have been wanting to get my hands on some good quality silks for a while now. So, I went straight to the first floor where all the silks and chiffons are. 

And about an hour and a half later, I came out with two paper bags. -___- I shall not disclose the damage done for fear that my husband reads this. :p 

Anyways, one of the materials is a vibrant-coloured paint-brushed-patterned silk. I initially wanted to make a modern kurung, but after a quick conversation with my friend, Dayana and of course, some googling, I decided to make a long simple dress instead. 

This is the kain;


And these are the inspirations; 


                          
Cantik kan? Can't wait to send this baby to the tailor. But first, to lose some weight. And that is another annoying journey of its own. Haha.

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

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, ...
