I Need Some Dirt On My Boots.

Blister: get blistered; "Her feet blistered during the long hike".

I finally got a pair of combat boots (made in China cheap knock-offs - but it does the trick) and wore them out today for the first time. It was really rainy and I was on a motorbike, so it ended up being really splattered with dirt, which I thought added to the grungy look more. The whole outfit gave a really masculine vibe - probably from the shoes, the boyfriend blazer and the bag.

(Cotton On Blazer, Zara white basic tee, Forever 21 Acid Wash Skinnies, Thrift Combat Boots)



Sorry - really washed out here from the flash.



Them zippers on the side, and a bit of heels there.



DIRT SMUDGE! So grungy. HAHAHHA. Sarcasm there, if you didn't catch it. 

I think the boots were a good buy and I'm definitely going to be wearing them a lot with different things to experiment. The leather really gave my feet one hell of a blister (on both) though. The stitchings on one side really dug in when I walked.

Look out for other outfits paired with these combats!

Blistered from the cheap shoes,

Prints and Solids... Again?

Layer: A single thickness of some material covering a surface.

I've always wanted to pull the socks-over-tights look, but just never did for some reason... Now, because I finally have the polka-dot tights, I can pull this off because it'll be sheer enough to create the layer look.

I think I'm playing with prints and solids again here. To tone down the skirt and the tights (the clashing patterns), I had the socks/boots and the coat. So solids and prints!

I also finally wore my owl earrings and the Marc Jacobs earrings a friend gave me as a gift:

 

It has a gold heart charm and the statue of liberty. Very New York (which was where she got it).



Bling owl earrings. Yeah.

My mom also gave me a new bag with Batik patterns on it which I love because it's really Indonesian-pridesesque, hahaha! 

Looks like a pillow. That red, silky "Merry Christmas" pillow is so out of place there. Haha.
ITS CHRISTMAS SOON!

I just had yoga so I'm SUPER sleepy and tired but I can't sleep or anything because of mid-terms studying. And I REALLY do need to study.

EXAMS HARDCORE CRAMMING STUDYING TIME,
Tammie.

Gathering

 Birthday: an anniversary of the day on which a person was born (or the celebration of it)

HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY!

It was my best friend's birthday a few days ago, and we all got together last night to celebrate. Well we couldn't stay long because everyone is busy studying for the exams (so am I) but it was a fun night!

Quick photo blog of the events that took place:



My newly established "monster face". Birthday girl on the right :)




GROUP "MONSTER FACE". Oh my god, most exciting moment ever.


We ate at this local Indian retaurant called "Food Shop 45". Their food is really good.

Samosas are the best creation man ever made.

  

I stand corrected, Mango Lassis are.



Ehheh.

 Then we went to a lounge to just chillax a while.

Then sleepover!




I really love frames arranged in this way on walls and Tia snoozin'. This is the next morning hahaha

   We actually stayed up until 4 o' clock in the morning working on an essay due on Monday. For those of you who don't know, we are IB students and we have to take a class called Theory of Knowledge. The class itself is fine, but writing the essays are like trying to explain why we are what we are. It's condensed high-school philosophy *cringe*.

To conclude this post, I might not be posting a lot over the course of this week as I will be busy with our exams and other school work but I'll try to update as often as I can!

Studying intensely for mid-terms,
Tammie.
