Whose Birthday Is It Anyways?

Birthday Suit: raw: informal terms for nakedness; "in the raw"; "in the altogether"; "in his birthday suit".



MINE!

Woohoo. Ladies and gentlemen, I turned 17 today which means that I can get my official ID card made (in Indonesia) and can now drive (legally). So here's my not-so-naked birthday suit:


(Banana republic cardigan, Zara Leopard print dress, Stuart Weitzman leopard wedges)

 

YAY! YAY! YAY!

I had the best day in school. I had two lovely, delicious, yummy cakes (made by my two best friends) and got lovely gifts which I didn't expect (to be getting this much anyways). It was so NICE!

 and here's a quick collage of my gifts from my best friends for anyone who cares :)

Yes those are a pair of fuzzy leather boots, spongebob squarepants silly bandz and a jewelry stand. LOVE ALL OF THEM. I also got a gorgeous new bracelet to replace the one I lost before (I used to wear that ALL THE TIME until I lost it) so that's definitely going to replace it.

Excited about tomorrow,

Tammie.

Wishlist #1 - Leopard Wedges

Quick Update:
So I've had my eye on leopard wedges for a while and I could not find any ANYWHERE in Jakarta. So after a while I gave up looking, but then... I went to Hong Kong.

We were looking for Tory Burch flats (which I also found), and I found these leopard wedges on SALE. We were in Lane Crawford and were looking in the shoes section when I came across these adorable Stuart Weitzman (www.stuartweitzman.com) leopard wedges/boots for HALF PRICE. So naturally I bought it. Of course, with shoes-on-sale there is a price. It was the last pair for my size so I had to get the one on display. The one on display was faded and you could  tell it was in a worn-out condition... but the other which was in the box was fine. So now I have a pair of shoes that are the same but different.

I'll post the real shoes soon but here is what they look like, and remember I got them for half price.

They're not platforms - I would've loved platform wedges - but oh well, I didn't want to push my luck seeing that I couldn't find them anywhere else.

Excited,
Tammie.

Prints and Solids.

Sky high: Extremely tall; Excessively, exorbitantly; To a very high level.


Yes, I've noticed I've had an excessive amount of featured looks this past 2 days but oh well. I can't help notice these outfits now that I have that feature.

I was rummaging through some of my old stuff and found these items, which when put together, looks pretty good I think. It's a good combination of prints (the leopard print skirt) and the blue coat + red platforms. I really love full skirts and this one was a bargain.



These platforms are SO TALL. The heels are around 13cm tall. They're also really chunky.
I like.

  

(Forever 21 blue coat, Nyla leopard print full skirt, Red suede Naima Platforms)

 I really love the way this coat looks with the skirt. Since the skirt is full, the coat takes it shape, while being tied around the waist accentuates my hips and the shape of the skirt.

Red Suede.





These shoes are from Naima, a local Indonesian designer. Yes, I'm a size 37. And if you click on the picture you'll see it says (in fine print) "I was born in  Indonesia" which is the most adorablest thing I've ever seen printed on a pair of shoes (or its label I suppose).

Wearing these heels just make me look as tall as other people instead of towering over them, with the benefits of what high heels give you - illusion of long legs. I also really love accentuating my hips because my figure is very petite and this coat does exactly that.

Sometimes being short pays off,

Tammie.
