Having fun with colors.

IT CHANGES

Hey again! I feel so bad to abandon my blog for a month (unintentional, though). I've been missing out so many good things in blogsphere lately, especially the updates from Fashion Weeks directly from the feeds of bloggers that I followed. Well, this all happened mainly because I had crazily hectic weeks in March. And yes, I am staring at you, essays! But for now, the nagging could wait because I don't want to shush you away......

INTERLUDE 2.0

Leather Jacket (Baleno), Maroon Shirt (Rown Division), Vest (Thrifted), Pants (EASY), Sneakers (Nike)

So here are some outfit photos taken in Summer Palace. On previous post, I did say that my layering was too light, didn't I? I only got leather jacket for the outerwear with shirt and unseen vest underneath which led me to having backache from trembling too much and jaw-ache for chattering nonstop! To make the story short, the day before I went to Summer Palace, I wore this leather jacket as well which actually was enough to fight with the cold. The thing is I forgot that I paired it up with my thick hoodie from Uniqlo (you can see the outfit I'm talking about on my Chapter VI: The Forbidden City post). By the time I was freezing to death, there was no way for me to go back to the hotel because it took at least an half hour, so yup I tried my best to stay strong there! Ha.

Hippie!

THAT'S CHRISTMAS TO ME

Leather Jacket (Baleno), Shirt (Thrifted), Knitted Sweater (SPAO), Vintage Backpack (Planet Ocean), Pants (Celcius), Shoes (Nike)

Although Christmas had just passed, but the joy it brought is still clearly floating in the air as the songs about Christ's birth are playing over and over again everywhere. It is indeed the most beautiful time of the year because who can deny how joyful Christmas it is? Here in China is not an exception. People celebrated Christmas a little bit differently, which means they (or most of the population) didn't celebrate it by gathering with the family in front of the fireplace or dinner table, but by shopping 'till their wallet turned into paper because the discounts here were crazy, no no scratch that, I mean insane, all only for Christmas celebration! I almost lost myself in the ocean of % sign in every store I laid my eyes on, but thank God I didn't.

Not buying things nor getting any presents doesn't mean I didn't get the joy of Christmas because it isn't always about things or presents, but I found my joy in more simple way. Finding this super beautiful, tall Christmas tree surrounded by these Garfield miniatures, not to say the cute ones, is my simple Christmas joy. Even though I'm thousand miles away from my source of joy (yup, family and close friends!), but at least God gives me another (simple ones) source of joy in this year's Christmas and I'm forever grateful for that. Wasting no time to squeal over how cute these miniatures were, I snapped some photos (including my outfit, of course). All photos were taken right after I went back from church lol. So, mind sharing your joyful Christmas? ;)

Hippie!

ONE WEEK AWAY

Guess who's got himself a DIY Christmas tree (without a star, lol) in his room? Yup, me. Can't believe, the most beautiful and joyous time of the year is only one week away! Time does fly too fast that I think it was just yesterday I celebrated last year's Christmas with my family, and now I'm about to celebrate it again, but this time, alone and so far, far away from home. Although I have to celebrate Christmas alone this year, but I still get myself a present. And as present, I mean this light green denim jacket that I purchased few days ago in Baleno. Aside from its color being so Christmas-y, I also still don't have any piece in this color in my closet so I thought, why the hell not? I might need to be a little bit more creative in mix-and-matching this jacket with my other pieces, which I have to admit isn't an easy job, but for now let's just put the worry aside and be happy on Christmas! Anyway, have you got yourself a gift for Christmas?

Hippie!

COMPLAIN NOTHING

Leather Jacket - Baleno, Vest - Thrifted, Shirt - Thrifted, Pants - Celcius, Shoes - Nike Air Veer GS

I don't know whether it's already winter or not, but all I know for sure is the temperature, day by day, is getting lower and lower. I have to wear at least two or three layers of clothes to keep my body warm as I'm not used to the cold. I'm not only talking about outfits that I wear to an outing, but also about what I'm wearing in my bedroom. T-shirts and thin clothes are no longer in my to-wear lists. I even sleep in my thickest knitted sweater (totally not complaining!). However, I almost hate nothing about this cold weather simply because it allows me to wear my stocked-up-for-too-long-in-my-closet thick sweaters and jackets. The only problem I encounter every day is freezing feet and hands. But, if I could dress up fashionably like this every day and in every season without fear of sweating and feeling uncomfortable, then I'd complain nothing. Until next time!

Hippie!

TRIP DIARY: HENAN pt. 4

Checked Jacket - Baleno, Stripes Tee - Thrifted,  Ripped Jeans - Celcius, Socks - Thrifted, Sneakers - Airwalk

The third day in Henan, we were brought to the iconic Long Men Cave which have amazingly huge statues of Buddha and those were handmade by human thousand years ago. I was absolutely blessed to have a chance to go to that place. With the temperature so chilly that day, I was simply thankful that I at least could take a picture without looking sweaty like an ugly pig.

Before we went to there, we first went to Song Shan Xue Yuan to practice Wushu for oh-so-devastating 4 hours. Let's just say, the first time always hurts the best when it comes to workout because I wasn't accustomed to the pressure. The practice resulted me in walking like zombie, every single step I took was like walking through the hell's fire (I exaggerated a bit, but still it hurt like hell!).

That day I wore this sickeningly cheap checked blue jacket that I got from Baleno (I scored it with 80% discount, hell yeah!) a few days before I went to Henan. I thought it would only be appropriate wearing it for this kind of tour because the comfort it gave me was priceless. I strolled around Long Men Cave not feeling cold, but warm instead. Absolutely handy to prohibit cold from attacking my body.

Hippie!
