KIDDY LAND - for the human smile (Japan)

First of all, KIDDY LAND is such a great name for a toy store!

Serving happiness since 1946, KIDDY LAND is one of Japan's most popular Toy Stores. They feature an amazing six floors of exciting toys, character goods, stickers and more. Both international and Japan-based products are available to delight the entire family.

This is Disney "Pop n Step". It means they can all dance together by doing little steps (that's why Woody looks blurry). If you want to watch how they "dance", click here.
Because TV remote is too mainstream...

Each of the doll has its own name and meaning.
They cost around IDR 700.000 if we are not mistaken.

From Flat to Fab!


This is actually one of the outfit I wore when I was in Bali last weekminus the cardigan. I put on this comfy cardi from Gowigasa to add some color pop to my neutral outfit. I really just love how vibrant the colors are. :)

For shoes I went with these casual, suede ankle boots from Forever21 which is the same shoes that I wore here. They are also one of my everyday-shoes. So comfortable and the color can match just about anything, love them!



And for accessories, I wore this turban that I bought from a store called "Somewhere" in Seminyak, Bali. What I love the most about turban is it can add so much volume to the crown area of your hair. From flat to fab! ♥

Dang, my hair has gotten so long. I guess it's about time to cut it shorter. The last time I had a hair cut was almost a year ago!
Two women wearing turban(s)! lol

Trench Coat: 2 Ways

#1


As the title said, I am going to show you how to wear a trench coat in two ways. The first way here is more of a feminine-vintagey style, I think? :)

Style number two is more casual and playful with all the patterns and colors. I also wore my new favorite black boots from Cozbest, which I think complete the whole look. Thank you, Cozbest!

Anyway, today is our mom's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, mom! Although you drive us crazy sometimes, you are still the BEST mom a daughter could ever have. xx

Alright, we've reached the end of the post! I hope this post inspires you in some way :)
