Vintage kurung

I've been rummaging my mom's closet for her old baju kurungs.

My mom has a HUGE collection of baju kurungs, even after giving away loads already. She loves her materials; silk, sateen, raw silk, japanese cotton. You name it and she has it in somewhere in her closet. Now you know who I take up after :p

Anyways, my mom still keeps a small collection of her old kurungs. Most are the kurung modern that we're used to now - puffed sleeves and boat necks. But somehow hers has a very vintage feel to it.

And the great thing is? They all fit me perfectly, as if they are made for me!
I just LOVE wearing my mom's kurung from the yesteryears. I LOVE that my body is the exact ofmy mom's when she was my age. That's just crazy awesome!

I want to keep and take extra care of these kurungs. I may just pass it down to my future daughter (s) one fine day. That'll be a great tradition.
Mom's plain modern kurung in emerald green. Green is her favourite colour. :)

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...

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
