{on the hunt for the dress}

my absolute fav gown by romona keveza

gotta know what i want so apart from my favorite Romona Kevezas, so i gathered inspiration from all over.

i love the additional details at the neckline. turns a normal-looking gown into wow! oh, and this look is complete with the sleek high ponytail with diamante hairband. LOVE!

i love the clean look of this gown and how the ribbon accentuates the bust area.

i think the color {champagne} and the details of this gown is just gorgeous.

and of course, a lacey gown like this will always be a safe bet and easier to hunt down.

Bespoke

Now how I wish I had a letterpress boutique of my own. I'd be inspired every day by ...

... the pantone book

... the colors

... the amazing machine that produces ...

... such works of art.

Flower therapy.

Nothing spices up a room than a gorgeous burst of colors. Ever wondered what flowers would go with the colors in your home? I know I did!

It's funny till it happens to you.

I just do not know whether to laugh or to cry when I saw this video. The poor best man must be feeling SO horrible and I JUST can't imagine what I would do if I was the bride. Haha!

My favorite meal. Breakfast like this reminds me of a holiday. Thanks Lobster & Swan for reminding me that it's time for a break.

Happy Sunday everyone!

I spotted a HUGE rainbow over some mall yesterday evening. It was magic and I was happy! Inspired, I went in search for some colorful flickr residents.

I am absolutely in love with Joanna's engagement shots. I even have it as the wallpaper of my phone. And this.. it's just brilliant! Talk about personalising.

{Ottomans}

The recent post on bigger ottomans in place of coffee tables has just struck a chord with me. I hate how heavy & hard the coffee table at my parents' is and when i move it away, the carpet underneath just goes out of place (OCD alert!). Perhaps an ottoman in the near future? More here!

How gorgeous is this living room? Nothing hard, very comfortable and gorgeous colors. I love how the furniture stand out with the neutral-colored walls.

Yeay I love Weekends!

we went to watch the much talked-about slumdog millionaire. this show presents the real india to movie goers who only know it through the eyes of bollywood, mother theresa, gandhi, booming computer segment, exploding education, spectacular costumes - i heard gasps in the theatre when the magnitude of the slums became apparent.

this movie brought me back to the time when i was in india as a 10-year old. the images of hundreds or rather thousands of street kids begging - some injured, some with crying babies in their arms are still fresh in my mind. the india i remember had impoverished street dwellers sleeping in the streets at night, men reliving themselves by the roadside and so, as i have seen it myself in person, the scene with the orphans/blinded orphan begging was heartbreaking. despite witnessing the dreadful poverty in the big screen, what made it all worthwhile was the heart-warming optimism of these wonderful little boys and girls making the most of the cards life has dealt them. and hope. for g, he reminded me again that only people who have nothing to their names know how to treasure the most precious gift that money can't buy - relationships.

after the movie, we were off to creperie des arts. a quaint little french restaurant in the heart of town, prinsep street. amazing service with healthy (made from buckwheat), sweet and savoury crepes.

i always leave room for dessert. my crêpe suzette - orange pulp zests with caramel and pear ice cream was flambéed with grand marnier. oh, and g's crêpe keroch - the salted caramel butter crepe was simply delightful as well. a perfect end to a saturday (:
