New day, New beginning...

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you've had a great time ushering the new year. I started the first day of 2011 with love; by attending a wedding. Not very ordinary way (at least for me) to start the day. Spent the rest of the day, chilling out and planning for tomorrow. Two more days to rest before going back to work. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

PS: Oh gosh! Just realized that we have entered a new decade...

Urbanscapes & Fashionista Alchemist

I had been counting the minutes, hours and days to Urbanscapes since last week. And I had just returned from the event with mixed feelings. A mixture of disappointment because not many vintage stuff to my liking and gladness that I did not spend a lot this time. Or perhaps I got there about 7-ish or near 8 pm whereby all the good stuff may have been purchased.

Just realized that I used many gold colour based accessories for my look today. I love the print of the dress. It is very artistic and modern and it makes me feel like I am wearing a work of art.

The look:
Vintage dress
Gold belt
Gold cocktail ring
Thrifted bag
Gold sandals

Another well spent Saturday. Tiring but fun.

V-day and flea market (again?!)

V-Day
V-day? Is it Valentine's Day? No. V-day is Vintage Day. Would like to commemorate vintage fashion on every Saturday. The look must have at least one vintage item either dress, blouse, skirt, pants, belt or bag. Let's the first V-Day begins...

The look:
Checked vintage dress
Yellow/Black belt
Vintage bag
Flat ballerina shoes

Flea market: Pick n Grab
Yes, another flea market. This time I thought that I would not buy anything but guess what?! I purchased a pair of black oxford shoes and two dresses at a very, very good deal. My friend and I have been looking for oxford shoes for a long time. And finally we found them! One item to cut off from my wish list but I still need to look for brown / tan oxford shoes and also oxford heels.

I heard that Urbanscapes (26th June) is an event not to be missed. It's an event filled with music, performing arts and shopping. Another temptation?

Note: Apologies for poor quality photos. Photos were taken using mobile phone camera.

Oh what a weekend!

This weekend was almost a perfect weekend filled with good company, good bargains, interesting book and serendipitous discovery despite my cough, which at times is killing me slowly. What a torture.

Good Company & Good Bargains
I've enjoyed the company of my hometown friends for dinner on Saturday night and friends from work for drinks after dinner. My friends and I were early for the drinks, so we decided to check out boutiques in Bangsar. I am bad in resisting a very great deal - RM10 for a dress! Very tempting indeed. Taking the risk of not be able to give it a try, I purchased the dress anyway, knowing the fact I have loads of them.

Earlier today, I had lunch with friends from work and we checked out Bijou Bazaar in Solaris Dutamas. Hoping there would be more vintage stalls but to my dismay, there were one or two. Somehow I purchased three items from some of the stalls there. They are not vintage.


Interesting Book
Currently I am reading 'A Vintage Affair' by Isabel Wolff. And I am almost finished reading the book, just left about quarter of the book to go. The story is revolved around a girl who owns a vintage dress shop - her family, her work/business, men in her life.... It is a typical chic lit, I would say. But it's a good read as it is light and easy to relate to since I'm into vintage dresses.


Serendipitous discovery
I discovered LOOKBOOK.nu by accident whilst browsing another blog. I think it's a cool site and contemplating whether I should give it a try or not... hhmm...

Another weekend has gone and Monday is around the corner. The word 'work' just came straight to my mind. Keeping my fingers crossed that I would not have Monday blues.
