Cosmic Shakes

Greetings! It has been a tiny while. Just a teeny update. I am now living in Bali with one of my best pals Yon Ni (Okay sorry it took me so long to tell you lot). It has been packed and busy, but also exciting, no surprise there. 

We went for burgers and shakes at this lovely retro restaurant, so lads and lass if you are in Bali and if you are into retro: Drop by Cosmic Diner! I love the Milkshakes over there.







P.s: That uneven tan you see was the result of reckless sun exposure in Gili island.

Dress: Mod Cloth

Floral Vixen

I have been adoring Voodoo Vixen for two years since I moved to England and discovered them! Imagine my ecstatic state when they contacted me!

They sent me this gorgeous dress which is perfect for spring time. I paired it with a summery vibe hat from H&M and a vintage suitcase. And a pair of shoes from Modcloth, I have been wearing them everywhere!











Very satisfied with the fit of the dress. It is figure-hugging in a complimentary way. The volume of the skirt is soo lovely and I feel like a princess. This is a piece that I can wear multiple times to hangout with my friends, brunch and tea time. I totally recommend it!

PI Fashion Week SS16

It has been a week since Plaza Indonesia Fashion week has passed. I am currently in Bandung and want nothing more than going to bed at this instant. However I am a strong believer of better late than never! Let me take you back to a week ago, where I went to brunch with my friends before attending the fashion week show!

My friend William Utama did a super great job in Asia Newgen Fashion Award! There were ten finalists in the final round and he won! With another contestant thats also named Will. What a delightful coincidence. I attached photos of my favorite looks from the show after my outfit post (which followed by the designer's name)!

Tips From The Travelling Vintage Girl

As a keen traveller and a vintage girl that wears vintage and retro dresses 90% of the time, I have gotten used to the on-the-go approach in travels without sacrificing too much of my regime!

Yes you still can look fabulous when you travel, and yes it is possible to jet set to different countries with hand luggage!  And I am going to tell you the insights on how I did it. This post was also in Unique Vintage blog section go check them out!

Me in Amsterdam

Clothes

I usually started with arranging my outfit (roughly) for the following days. Try to accommodate two looks with one key piece so you do not need to bring unnecessary extras.


Make-up Better be On-Point

Here are the list of things in the order of importance:
1. Sunscreen and base- May be included with the foundation you own (SPF). Also ensure you use long-lasting foundation as you might be out all day. With good coverage and flawless skin you can actually get away with less makeup
2. Eye Liner- Befriend them, as they are mates for vintage ladies, pulling off that cat-eye should be a crucial key thing for your retro look. Please get a long lasting liner too, we do not want your liner to change from on-point to smudgy by the end of the day.
3. Red Lips- I recommend investing in a good lip liner for that red pout! And carry your favourite lipstick for touch-ups!
4. Blusher- Cream blushers are more portable than the powder ones, and you don’t need any brush for application, neat.


Hair

Bring plenty of bobby pins in case you want to refresh your pincurls, or emergency victory rolls as you travel! I recommend packing your favourite smoothing brush too so you can maintain your beautiful mane!


Other than that I strongly encourage you to bring either a bandana for the classic ‘Rosie the Riveter’ look, or pack a flower hair clip to finish your vintage hair.


Footwear

Never bring your shoes that you have never worn before, you wanna look cute I know. But do not sacrifice your holiday. Get a nice kitten heels to compensate. If you do want to look hella cute in those killer shoes you can, pack a folding flat shoes, it should work!



Skincare

Soooo important for me! And I figured it should be for most of you ladies too. It is much of a hassle if you want to bring all of your stuff in a carry on but you still can pack your cleansing liquid! Place them in cheap contact lens pod from dollar store and voila you are good to go.


HAVE FUN

This should be the whole point for travelling, for me at least. So have fun and enjoy the little things, take it in, and do not forget to take pictures.

Cheers lovelies!

Ahoy Paris


Hello lovelies!

I have now commence my post-dissertation travel! Overjoyed of course. To top it of, one of my absolute favorite retro clothing brand Unique Vintage approached me and asked me to join the style society! Which I gladly accept! Check out their retro dresses and vintage clothing as they are so beautiful and well designed. When I receive the dresses I am glad to find that the fit is great on me, bear in mind I am quite fussy with sizing and fit.

So please find the followings as the travel photos of me in Paris featuring the lovely nautical themed dress from UV! Also visited Fondation Louis Vuitton whilst I am in Paris and I have to say it is one of the best architectural phenomenon. Such brilliant design, admirable.












Dress: Unique Vintage
Shoes: B.A.I.T.
Rose Clip: Unique Vintage
Can we just take a moment to admire the architectural goodness? By the way that is Merv the one who took photos of me. Check him out as he is one of the most talented photographers!

I found a lovely sleeveless dress on Modcloth! It was a delight and the fit is amazing :) 

I paired it with my trench coat as it is getting colder here in England. I was rather surprised as to how fast the weather changed, which I am nervous about. Well it is because my time here in England might come to an end...

Poodletastic - Atypical Girl

How have you been lovelies? Well? I have been quite swamped with so many things these days and I need to really sort out my priorities better haha.

Anywho... Big thanks to Atypical girl for this adorable skirt! Really love the prints and volume, especially the movements of the fabric when I walk. I think it really flatters your figure and complete your retro look. A staple piece for sure! Check out their website here.













Shirt: H&M/ Cape: Sheinside/ Skirt: Atypical Girl/ Shoes: Aldo/ Bag: Asos
