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.

Fashion Styles: Blouse

If you have been following me on this blog, you’d probably know that I’m such a girly girl. I just love being a girl. Seriously, what’s not to love? We have the best in fashion. Fashion is dedicated to us, women! From hair bands and clips to shoes and stockings, and everything in between. I had many fashion phases growing up. The “Clueless” inspired fashion; checkered pants, preppy blouses and small furry backpacks, short dresses with platforms ala Baby Spice and so much more. But, as I grow older, I stuck to a classic and simple style. My husband loves it when I’m dressed in a simple skinny jeans/pants and blouse . And that has been my staple since I got married. I admit – I would love to be more adventurous in my styles (like in my younger days) but I don’t think my husband can tolerate that. Lol. Over the years of experimenting, I have learned what’s good on me and what’s not, what I like and what I dislike. I prefer blouses; smart casual mostly to cotton tshirts. After tur

#20facts

So, I've been tagged by Sherliza from ziggy zig ah   to do this fun but also time-wasting game. LOL. And here goes. I'm very manja. If you know me, you'd probably know that.  I think I'm hilarious. Even I laugh at myself sometimes. Haha.  I'm generally a positive person.  I also have very high self confidence/self esteem. I genuinely think I'm pretty. (Another example is #2 :p)  I never had and don't have any issue with me being short. Again this relates to #4. Most people would think that I do, but meh being short/petite is pretty awesome.  I do have issues with me being fat. This generally happens once a month when I see a photo of a slim woman in skinny jeans. It also coincides with my time of the month. Hmmm.  Although honestly, I don't think I'm thattt fat. #internalconflict I am obsessed with designer handbags, which I think is going to be my (or my husband's) downfall.  I also have developed a love for diamonds after I got my
