Orked byJovian Mandagie

Jovian Mandagie is fast becoming one of my favourite designers. 

His latest collection, Orked by JM is oh-so-pretty!

I used to dislike his bridal dresses because I felt they were a bit too heavy. I prefer something simpler and more classic. I personally think that sometimes, less is more.

But lately, JM's designs, bridal and non, are simply breathtaking. He kept it simple and sleek. And that really hits the spot for me. I think his cut is really flattering for most women and I just love the silhouette that he came up with.

I say most, because, his ready made kurungs doesn't fit me perfectly because I'm shorter than average (or petite, if you want to be fancy) and chubbier. My proportion is a bit off these days, haha.

The name Orked is apt for this collection, since every design feels very feminine. The soft, flowy lines and the pastel colours are just so beautiful. It is very difficult to resist this one.

When it came out, I was on the website, patiently waiting for it to load. There were so many that I love and wanted to put in my cart. But, I resisted. And after checking the sizing, I felt a bit better, because it wouldn't fit me perfectly.

The next day while at work, I took a look again. Saw a dress that I missed the night before and instantly felt in love. Checked the sizing and to my delight, it would fit me well. Except for the length, obviously. I thought about it for a while, battling between my needs and wants :p

Well, my wants won. Safe to say that I'll be picking up my dress on the release date at the Tesco nearest to my place.

This Jovian is surely something. No woman can resist his designs. He's powerful alright! Sorry husbands out there. Hehe.

For all of you who haven't gotten your hands on Orked by JM, share me some tips on self control.

Olsou Mint, I can't wait to see you!

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, ...
