Purple Mustard.

Mustard: any of several cruciferous plants of the genus Brassica.

I was thinking more of like, Mustard: ketchup that is yellow; yellow ketchup. 

I've always wanted to get myself a mustard yellow coat, but then I found the next best thing. Yellow mustard suede wedges and they cost about US$20. I absolutely love them, and I think I can play around with colored socks and different colored pieces in my outfit with these wedges!

Curiousity Bought the Cat

Monotonous: having a single color: a cat with a monotone coat.


Only recently, I bought a cat sweater in this cute little store downtown. It was quite reasonably priced as well - ONLY FOUR MOOLAHHSS ($4) WOWWA. It has these cute burgundy-root beet red colored cats on it. I've decided to wear it for school tomorrow so that outfit post will be posted tomorrow, but for now I just wanted to show it to you guys. 

I really like the nail polish I'm using. And my hair is getting really long.

SO. CUTE. Look at the cats and all its monotonous goodness.

This little hair accesory is a hair clip. I've never actually worn it out before, so I just put it on randomly.

It looks glittered - but its actually just suede.

I'm really excited to be heading back to Jakarta in 4 days time actually. I really can't wait to go round town and shop at the GOODS dept., just opened but its packed with local indonesian designer stuffs. I have high hopes for this store.

Ribbons and Stripes

Ribbon: A ribbon or riband is a thin band of flexible material, typically cloth but also plastic or sometimes metal, used primarily for binding and tying.

I never feel like dressing up when going out for lunch on Sunday afternoons with the family - but I didn't want to be totally casual either. So I just wore a long tee and skinnies and added the wisteria wedges for that edge. I really like this tee because of that ribbon on the back - also the color really match my wedges.

Love the ribbon on the back.

I really rarely wear this shirt because I can never decide what to wear it with, so I'm glad it goes well with my wedges. Also, my mom suprised me today and told me we were going out to get my 17th birthday present (in a months time - Jan 14th) from Louis Vuitton. I won't show you what it is yet but here's a preview:

It's obviously not a bag.

I'm really excited to be using this, it's my first ever Louis Vuitton anything so of course, its one of my prized possesion. Thank you mom and dad :)


Ciao,

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.

Wisteria Wonderland.

Wisteria: any flowering vine of the genus Wisteria

I don't even want to know what genus means. Haha, probably some plant related science-y name. Wow, I sound really dumb just now.
Anyways, these Topshop LIMITED EDITION Brand New Wisteria Chiffon Tie Wedge Heels (3 5.5 36 Rare) are in my possession. I have been drooling over Wisteria heels since for as long as I've known they existed, and I got my hands on the last pair in MY SIZE.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on these new heels. The chiffon material fits perfectly on my feet and provides a comfortable padding. These heels look dangerously tall but believe it or not they are THE most comfortable pair of heels I have ever had/tried on/wore. Ever. The heels itself is about 12.5cm tall (around 5 inches). The covering is this light plum/pink suede and light as a feather. I can jump in them, I can run in them, I can go trekking with them if I have to but I won't because I don't want to ruin these heels.

My best splurge I would have to say, and of course my prized possesion. Goes well with everything. Especially my new ballet maxi skirt.

I can't wait to wear these babies around town.

Excited,
Tammie.

Shoes? Yes, please.

Inspiration: arousal of the mind to special unusual activity or creativity.


Today we had a fashion designer come in for our Art class and naturally, the first thing I noticed were her shoes. Her name is Claire Driscoll and right now she's working in Hanoi.

Check them out. They look sort of handmade suede or something yeah? So adorable.

And loving the hair! I think it's bleach blonde? It's great.

Mucho inspirational.

Also, apparently she's worked for some really famous people like coldplay's costume for one of the awards and Little Britain which I found well impressive. If you click on the picture above you'll see some of the pictures of the costumes she made for well-known people. There's also a picture of Alex McGrath up there.

Well she talked in our class about what to expect if we would like to take on fashion as a career and in university. So that was really interesting! Enjoyed the visit very much. She also showed us a couple of blogs which I already knew about. Two of the most famous street fashion blogs, satorialist (http://www.satorialist.blogspot.com/) and facehunter (http://www.facehunter.blogspot.com/).


Ciao,
Tammie.
