We just moved into a new apartment last week and it's been fantastic, the place is great! Selecting furnitures from IKEA is really fun when you have the money but hey we'll take it slowly. I have a holiday now and i've got two more weeks until Uni starts, kind of excited starting a new semester...and scared at the same time! Wish me luck!

A Sunday Smile We Wore For Awhile

Hello everyone!

How's your day today? I'm asking you this because mine has been great even though the weather has been very gloomy but it's just the way I like it! :-) It was nice to take a stroll this morning while sipping a cup of tea, yes like my name Asti (read: Ice-Tea). I also had a good listen to Karen O and The Kids - All is Love to brighten up my day!

So, I skipped school today just because my brain is never functional in school. It's sort of a bummer when you feel like studying, especially for an exam, but people just start chatting to you and you carry on. The result of staying at home did not go that well either! Haha. Oh well, so my mom wasn't home until the end of the day and I was being very sneaky to her wardrobe. This is how I made my mom proud:

Long sleeved shirt - Unbranded from Indonesia; Dress worn as a skirt - Topshop; Shoes - Clarks

Moschino Cheap & Chic, Luella, Marc Jacobs

Chanel, Cristopher Cane, Prada

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!
