I was on style.com a couple of hours back when I bumped into these gorgeous Lolita based designs! There were 16 designs being shown in total, these are my favourite ones. I love how the majority of the designs are so colour and pattern based. I've always love colours and patterns for as long as I can remember, I just go oogo ga ga over them.

The Moschino Cheap & Chic design is the perfect wear for a day out in the beach. I think the daisy looking floppy hat is a genius. I can imagine other kind of flower hats. A sunflower floppy hat? Yumness! To be honest I like the 1950s kind of swimwear in comparison to what we have right now. I fell in love with the Luella design instantly! How gorgeous is it! Everything about it is perfect, even the make up and the model. I need to have that dress in my closet! I hope Topshop has a similar design for their next season.

I've been helping out in the infant school, and I'm loving it! All of the kids are so sweet, they say and do the most funniest things ever. I'm going to miss it when I go back to Melbourne at the end of this month. I'm sort of dreading going back there, since its summer right now in Melbourne! If only it was the nice 24/25 degrees summer..

Hows your side of the world? Oh btw, my friend sent me this song by Adhitia Sofyan called Adelaide Sky, and its just lovely! His voice is the perfect voice to be listening to on a rainy day.

The weather has been so lovely lately! It's all gloomy and dark, makes me wanna sleep all day long and not do or worry about a single shizz in my life! Atika got a new bike last week, her bike is lovely. I feel all giggly riding it, and I feel like I want to randomly burst into songs when I'm on it.

I went to Istanbul a couple of weeks back. I had such a great time there! I miss having holidays with my family. Istanbul is a beautiful place, the people there are really friendly too! When we were there, we went to this island called Princes' Island. The island is gorgeous, it's a like little town all on its own. I'm not sure but I think I didn't see anyone riding cars in that island (which is great for me), they use bikes as a form of transport!! How awesome is that. You could even rent bikes if you don't have your own bike. Ahh that island definitely left me a good impression.

Btw... how awesome is New Moon's soundtrack?! Its amazing. I, myself is not a fan of the Twilight Saga... or even vampires for that matter, but by golly the New Moon soundtrack is tres awesome!! My favourite one is Satellite Heart by Anya Maria and New Moon (The Meadow) by Alexandre Desplat, a two must listen if you've not already have. Anyways, I hope you're all doing well and enjoying yourselves. Much love!

The 1950s

Ahh the 1950s.. there's something that is so admiring about that era. Sometimes I do wish that I lived around that time. Gorgeous clothes. Music that makes your feet tap. Talking with that 1950s accent. Sending postcards instead of sending emails or chatting on MSN. Yes. The 50s sounds lovely and perfect for me.

Apologies beforehand for the picture overload, but I just couldn't resist myself! I can't help but imagine my head (or rather body) in each of these 50s clothing! I especially love the make up style back then, with (fairly) thick eyebrows, red lush lipstick. I think the make up is the cherry on top.

P.S. I'm a fan of The Swell Season and recently (well more like last month) they released their new album called Strict Joy. I recommend everyone who enjoys Glen's husky's voice and Marketa's soothing voice to listen to their new album :) The song In These Arms is my favourite.

How are you feeling today, folks? I'm feeling fantastic despite the fact that I just woke up with this little person hammering in my head. We played a very intense badminton last night, it was really fun! Covered in sweat didn't bother us though because the weather last night was hella awesome. I hope winter will pay us a looong loong visit this year.

We went to Joshua Radin's gig awhile ago, we tried to hinder from the crazed fans out there therefore no, we didn't try to touch his hand or shout "marry me". Yes we are his much more cooler fans, totally. He was amazing btw, he sounded as good on recording as he does live! Hmmm, what shall I recommend for our Saturday tune then? Try listening to Monogrenade – Ce Soir, a dear friend of mine recommended it to me.

P.S. I'll be seeing The Pains of Being Pure at Heart live at Melbourne on 17th of February! How exciting! :D
