between handbag and gentleman

2008's coming up.

my new year resolution is to save IDR 20,000 per day so i could get approximately 7.3 mios for the next new year.

i will allocate that for a holiday or buying a classic, sophisticated handbag.

hehehe, no hope no love no glory no happy ending -mika- happy ending-

i heart this bag so much. and i dunno whether i should purchase the genuine or the faux one.

but i think that this bag will lasts so i will save some money.

yumyumyum:)

oh, this is my theory.

life is a matter of choice since there are many constraints.

soo, to get this one perfect bag, i must constraint myself from those fancier but just seasonal trend bags in order to get this one genuine, dreamy bag.

*applied also to my love life*

style i love

hello, this is my first post.

in this posting i'd like to share about my style.

in two words (i hope) it's simply chic.

hehehe. here are my DONT's in fashion:

1. fur, animal prints

leopard?? rarrrrrrr

2. punk-ish or those sporty outfit

(name it: stud chain, graffitti, unfinished outfit)

3. high heels with hot pants.

i don't know, but i'm not into this combooo

4. NEON colored pants

uggghhhh. only a (very) few looked great in those blingy-pants

i often saw red pants with green tops, purple shoes and orange bag.

... speechless

5. wearing jeans as tops (jackets, vest, etc2x)

these stuffs are not my style, but stilll some ppl looked great. but it's not me.

so, here are things i love love love:

1. casual dresses

i often wish that i cud wear dresses everyday. wearing dress make me feel comfy and happy:)

those images below taken from different sources and could define the LOOK that i love for wearing dresses at daytime

2. accesorries.

i love to play with accessories since i usually bought the simple tops so i cud play around with accessories:

- scarf (and now i'm in search for a tres chic kefiyeh. middle east chic:)

- pendant necklace, beads necklace, and above are some of my favest necklaces

- (looking for a great bangle), charm bracelet, etc

but i'm not into those earrings. i don't wear earrings.

except simple diamond or pearl earrings;)

3. adorable shoes.

i love those simple yet adorable shoes. i don't like shoes that have complicated details.

i love christian louboutin for its simplicity. for my budget, i love chocolate, prima classe, noche, VNC and nine west (well, i might need saving my money for months. hiks)

for now, i'm chasing a pair of red sling back at noveau:)

for sandals, here are my faves:

-silver strap flat sandals

- those with straps and lil feminine details such as flowers, beads, etc2x

4. simple tops with feminine details such as laces, bows or ruffles.

just lil details, less is more:)

and yes, i love crochet tops:):):)

5. nice handbag. that's tres important

and last, i love no-make-up make up.

haha, looked like wear nothing but actually underneath there lies a tons of make-up
