A touch of denim

It's not a secret that I really love skater skirt and crop top. In a country where there is a constant heatwave (IT'S REALLY HOT!), this is the most comfortable and cooling setup. 

However, knowing that I would be spending most of my time today indoors, I decided to add outerwear to my entire outfit. I chose an old favourite piece, Puffy Denim Jacket. I decided to pair it with Gold jewelries to elevate the simplicity of my outfit today

Top from Rêve Atelier

Skirt from PACSUN

Denim Jacket from Forever New

Necklace from House of Harlow 1960

The rest of the jewelries from ASOS

[Fashion Post] Cami and Leather Short

If there is any color I always like, it is white. Plain,nice, go with everything. (I change favorite color all the time) The only problem is I'm a clumsy person and I spill everything, everywhere. 

But I still decided to get this White Leather Short from Bershka in the hope that it will be easier to wash If i actually drop something on it. Hopefully not ink, never ink!

I paired my leather short with a beautiful camisole from TopShop. I have a love-hate relationship with camisole. It is almost always too big for me that my bra is usually visual but I love how it looks when it falls right where it should be. But I was in Bali and I was wearing bikinis so I was more confident to put on my camisole.

[Food Post] Very Berry

Recently, I'm having a new obsession for homemade smoothie. I can put anyhing I want, at the amount that I like. 

Naturally, I did a lot of experiments to achieve the right smoothie composition. Here is my favorite mix:

3 bananas

6 strawberries

A handful of blueberries

1 scoop of mango sorbet

1 cup of mango juice

Ice

I have also mastered the art of 2 layers smoothie and the key is to add viscosity to the top layer, much like pudding so add honey and yoghurt for this purpose

Have a yum and healthy day!

[Travel Post] The Alcatraz, San Fransisco

I was in Cali earlier this year because my fiance's family wanted to go on a trip and wanted somewhere cold which brought us to the U.S.A. I have been to Cali twice before so this was my third time but it was the first time I set foot on San Fransisco. I was really excited for their clam chowder, really. 

Our First "touristy" activity was to visit The Alcatraz. I have always always been intrigued by places, buildings and history. The Alcatraz was a place that has all that.  The Alcatraz is just 15minutes ferry ride away from SF's pier and the ferry timing was pretty frequent. 

I haven't had much exposure to America's most famous prison of all time and I kind of mixed it up with Guantanamo Bay so I ended up thinking all the gruesome tortures happened there and that the island is haunted. 

IT IS NOT! THANK GOODNESS

On the contrary, the only reason why this place is famous is because they used to imprison some of the most dangerous criminals in America, like Al Pacino. And why they were imprison there? It is simply because Alcatraz is hard to escape even if you can swim. It was also the reason why they closed the facility. It was really hard to maintain it with the seawater keeps corroding the cell bar and they have to do regular maintenance. 

You could very much see all the cells and they would give you an earphone to guide you through the whole place. It was really fascinating. Some of the voices were real recording from back then. I spent a lot of times trying to learn how these prisoners used to live. 

Other than the rich history, Alcatraz is actually located on a beautiful shore. You get a clear view of SF (supposedly some kind of mental torture to the prisoner back then to tell them what they have been missing and all but Idk how something so beautiful could be torturous). I took a great deal of photos from the place so enjoy. Hope it travels u to the past as it did to me.

[Fashion Post] Baby Blue Fetish

It appears that Blue could be my choice of colours at present. I have been attracted to blue, well, anything. And not just any blue, it's baby blue. Walking to Zara GSS didn't even help to ease my present baby blue fetish. With all the GSS sale and stuffs, I only find myself struggling to choose which item I should bag at the end of my shopping.

Top from Forever New

Leather Shorts from PacSun

Shoes, Blazer and Necklace from Zara

Bag from Kate Spade

Bracelet from Balenciaga

The Sandals that I'm wearing has been in my radar for the longest time. I found it once in Zara Jakarta but alas, there was something wrong with the hook and it wasn't just meant to be. So I put it aside and life moved on. That is until my recent visit to Zara at Liat Tower. I wasn't even purposely looking for shoes that day but when I saw this on the rack, I believe all my fingers were jumbled up from crossing too much, hoping that they have it in my size. It worked though, seriously.
