In More Ways Than One.

Earmuffs:Earmuffs are objects designed to cover a person's ears for protection or warmth.

I've had this plaid jacket for a while now, and experimenting with those frequently worn harem pants of mine, I decided to mix it up with a cropped jacket. I wish I had a tighter belt so I could keep those pants up higher so the jacket would completely cover the shirt (so it's not like red plaid, white shirt and pants.. Just red plaid and pants, you know?) Meh. Note for next time. Anyways, the red plaid jacket really matched my red tote bag and my red socks (if you can see them).

PENGUIN EARMUFFS ARGH.

Aren't those the cutest things EVAR? Bought them for the sake of it. It was on "final reduction" sale - down to almost 75-80% or something. It's not even warm or anything and I think it's for little kids, but WHAT THE HECK. I'll give it to my kids when I get around to having some. Or my sister.
Talking about my sister, she had her little "disco party" in school today and I had to go take her. I didn't want to change outfits or anything, I mean it was a short trip there and back, so I just changed the accessories and shoes. I want to one day just wear the same outfit and "change" it at least 3-4 times so they look different but they're the same you know? Haha that probably didn't make any sense. I'll just show you when I do the post.

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.

Christmas Eve With The Boyfriend.

Maxi: used of women's clothing having a hemline at the ankle; "wanted a maxi-length coat"; "a maxidress"


So today's Christmas Eve guys! I went out with the boyfriend and his sister, after spending some time with the family :) It was a really fun day and I really can't wait for the actual Christmas tomorrow! I'm sure it will be really exciting because I have a lot planned. I'm sure you guys do too :)

The mall of course had amazing Christmas displays - only took the time to photograph this one from Mall Kelapa Gading though.

Some of the family. This represents about 1/100 of all the members (aunts and uncles included) of the family.
I have a big family.

Then I met the boyfriend and his sister to spend Christmas Eve together :)

Yes, that is my bag he's carrying.

We went shopping around and I bought the most adorable ring from forever 21. They had different ones as well - birds, butterflies, bees and the pandas. 

AWH.

And the boyfriend gave me a necklace with a "T" pendant with diamonds and silver gold :)

Pretty sparkly things.

How do you guys plan to spend Christmas? Hope everyone's having a good Christmas Eve so far!

MERRY CHRISTMAS,

Tammie.

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,
Tammie.

Sorry for being a repeat offender, but these shoes (and the skirt) are so lovely I can't get enough of them. Wonder if wearing them to school would be appropriate... hahaha.
Anyways, so just had my exams today - still 4 more to go over the course of this week and next. I was just thinking of wearing my old plaid oversized tee because it's very comfortable and it's very lumberjack-esque. 

Lumberjack.

It definitely tones down an outfit, don't you think? So I tried pairing it with my ballet outfit:

(TopShop bodycon dress, Zara plaid oversized tee, TopShop chiffon wisteria Heels, Zara tutu skirt)

And who knew you can also wear it as a dress? My zara tutu skirt gives it a little more shape and volume and the sleeves act as a ribbon :) I can experiment with this more for sure.


Sorry for the out of focus picture:

Anyways, super brief post. I still have to study. 

 

Be original,

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.

Advice: a proposal for an appropriate course of action.

This is the outfit that I will wear tomorrow to travel to Singapore in. Except I can't decide over the two bags. I love the messenger bag and I want to bring it to singapore so I might as well hand carry it, but the fringe bag fits the outfit better... Any comments? They will be much appreciated thanks :)

The outfit by itself:

I am wearing:

1. Zara grey blazer

2. Black tank and brown belt

3. Zara floral Harem Pants

4. Aldo black wedges

The outfit with the messenger bag:

The outfit with the fringe bag:

So which?

Well the dilemma is that I want to bring the messenger bag to Singapore, and i only want to bring 1 bag, but the fringe bag looks much better with the outfit, and is much more spacious so... Comments?



Desperate need of advice,

Well Suited.

Suit: a set of garments (usually including a jacket and trousers or skirt) for outerwear all of the same fabric and color; "they buried him in his best suit".

That's such a boring definition for a suit! Same fabric and color?? That's definitely the kind of things I try to avoid, especially when wearing suits. I like to dress formal, but just not so monotonous and so predictable you know? Add a little personality here and there won't hurt. 

Went on a shopping trip with my mother today downtown ('cause I needed some new clothes for the THIMUN conferences coming up in Singapore anyways). My objective was to get me a pair of new shoes and some clothes for the conferences.

I definitely had a successful day!
Check out the new stuff that I bought:

These adorable Aldo black wedges. Love them so, so much. You have no idea how comfortable they are. Also check out that detail - fur on the side. I bought this for around 70 US$. There was this other creme pair which I adore and it was on sale, but I think I'll go back next weekend to get it.

Mango cream-brown sunnies with opaque prints on the side. These were 50 US$ around. I can wear them while shopping in Singapore :)

And last but not least:

A high waist and your average cream top from Mango.

Put them all together and you get...

 All works together quite well yeah?

I threw in a Longchamp bag in there because it works. Everyone needs a Longchamp in their life.

Get some Longchamps!,
