Hyde the Puppy

Hyde (Japanese pronounciation: Hai-doh) is a Kintamani-Labrador puppy whom our brother got from his friend when he was already 3 months old. Here's a brief story about how we got him in the first place. Christian (our brother's friend) said that his dad wanted to slaughter Hyde and made him a Satay for God's sake. He then became a hero and offered our bro the puppy! Kind of Fate because at that time our brother was looking for one, and we ourselves have never even thought about having a puppy before because we live in an apartment and we thought a dog would be too much to handle, BUT one day Hyde just came into our life. Like a boss. :')

He is blond and he has very soft, cotton-like hair! Mad love it when:
  • He strolls around and his hair touches our feet coincidentally
  • He stops whatever he's doing to make an eye contact with us (and of course going back to whatever he's doing but nevermind lah)
  • He feels tired and he will immediately lay down like a rug
  • He chooses to sleep beside us, curled-up!
  • He licks our face like there is no tomorrow (a big lick to the face is a sign of affection and closeness - googled)!
With Hyde, our days have been filled with "Aww..." "Ohhh..." and so on.
Oh, we just love him so much!

Sweet Lace


Hello lovely readers!
How do you feel today? If you feel sweet and feminine just like I did on the day these photos were taken, then there is no better way to express it other than wearing (anything) Lace! Especially in white color. Black lace is more of a sexy and classy look, I guess.

Cute bag Jess bought from Singapore.
White Heart Lace Stockings so dreamy
The details of my dress. I especially love the wooden buttons!! :)
Some inspirations for wearing white lace:

Simplicity


Hello lovelies! Finally I have the time to blog about this beautiful studded-collared top I got from Dahlia Fashion, an online clothing store based in UK. I really love the cutting and the way it clings to my body –plus the studded collar which gives a little edge to the outfit!

As you can see in this photo, the fabric is actually sheer but not very thin, so you just need to wear a nude colored bras under the shirt if you are not a fan of see-thru. Anyway, what a perfect fabric for Jakarta's hot weather!

Do check out their website here for more lovely collections ;)


Wearing a red hair bow to add color to my outfit. :)

Nautical Feel


What colors pop up in your head when you think of the word 'Summer'?
As for me: Blue and Yellow! Well, simply because they remind me of the Beach sea and sand. :)
Add some Red for a more nautical feel, and then add some neutral colors (in this case, Brown and White) to have some balance.

Fyi, the yellow Collar and the blue-striped Shirt are actually separated, and they will be in GOWIGASA's new arrivals collection next month in one package, so wait for it! ;)




By the way, did you notice that my hair was kept to one side on all the photos?
Yup! That's because of the fact that wearing certain collars makes your neck look shorter (you don't want that!). But I also can't resist wearing them as they are too adorable and can give you an instant preppy look!

So, what I usually do when wearing standing or turn-over collars (learn the difference here) is, move my hair to one side (or my back), side-braid it, tie it up, or whatever except letting it down that should do the trick.

My something new and something yellow.


Love,
Elle

Nyanyian Cintamu - AB THREE (cover)

Ku slalu ada di hatimu
Tulus cintaku t'lah menyatu
Haruskah semua ku ingkari
Indahnya kasih ini

Tak bolehkah aku jalani
Putih cintaku bersamamu
Mengapa tiada yang mengerti
Hingga selalu kuingin

Reff:
Kaubawa diriku terbang bersamamu
Melayang jauh
Kau nyanyikan lagu tentang bintang bintang
Menemaniku

(Bawa daku bersamamu, kita melayang jauh)
(Kita nyanyikan lagu tentang bintang bintang)

Bila esok tiba
Masihkah kan ada

Bila dapat aku lakukan
Hentikan waktu yang berlalu
Agar kau tetap di sisiku
Selalu dan selamanya

Back to Reff

Hari lepas hari
Melayang bersamamu

Bila esok tiba
Masihkah kan ada

Nyanyian Cintamu
