The Great Gatsby

Watched the movie over the weekend. And ohmygod, I LOVE!

For those who haven't watched, don't worry! I'm not doing a movie review, so there won't be any spoilers here.

This movie is one of the most beautiful I've seen. It is visually mesmerizing.

Everything is glittery and golden. The parties extravagant and over the top. The characters beautiful and smart.

And the dresses that they wore! Ahhh, so so pretty.

Thru out the movie, I was ooh-ing and aah-ing to myself at the main character's dresses.

Aren't they beautifullll? Fur and embelishments, glitters and bows, pearls and lace. So soft and feminine.

I have never paid much attention to 1920s fashion until now. This is one fashion trend that I do not mind following. 

And because I'm so inspired, I have put together some Gatsby-inspired outfit. 

Kurung from Arma Couture, Glittery Shoes from Salvatore Ferragamo and Glitter Clutch from ShopBop 

This is what I would wear to a wedding. Gatsby-style.

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, ...
