Travel: A Sneak Peak -The Land Down Under

Hmm.. where will I be this time? Can you take a wild guess? While, I will not be sharing with you the city that I am in yet, however I'm deeply excited. This place brings back fond memories.
Next, my list of "To Do" is endless. It can be a fashion challenge for me since I'm restricted to only 20kg of luggage weight [for an international flight, that's very little to me]; plus it's Autumn right now. So what can a girl from the country which is hot and sunny all year round pack?

Well, as for fashion wise.. you just gotta stay tune to see what sort of remixes I cracked my brain at.
The main agenda this time is to attend my lovely cousin's wedding. Gosh.. I just can't wait to see her walk down the aisle. I think every bride will look gorgeous on their big day. Not that she's not gorgeous now.

To tease you, I leave you with my memories, and more to come..

Can you guess it yet?

{Anna's No.17} In Love with My RED heels

I'm loving my red heels. Basically, my best buddy Steph will tell you this "she doesn't wear much heels". Yup that is right ladies, I'm a self-confessed flatties [is that even a word] or ballerina flat shoes kindna' gal. I love my flats so much that if possible I would love to collect all types of design, colours in various material whether leather, suade or velvet.

similar jeans, shoes

not sure what i was doing with my lil bro's soft-toy..kekeke

However, recently or sometime back I bought this fabulous pair of red wedge and it's so comfy that for the first time..my feet don't ache much from walking in them. What an improvement from me [self  gloating..give me 1 sec] Okay am back ;p.. I've always adored ladies who wear killer heels and walk like there's no tomorrow. Perhaps I look at their lovely heels in envy and wished I could do the same. Now, I say "bye-bye" to my tiny-whiny envy cause I believe I'm embracing myself to wear more heels.

To all the sexy sassy lovely heels out there.. if you can hear me..that is, you will soon be finding your way to my closet. Muahahahahha [okay.. i know that sounded twisted and evil, but oh well..] We girls just gotta have some FUN!!

{Anna's No.16} Serious or Play?

I broke a rule in the office recently [cheeky me]. Lol.. Not to mention that I have to attend meetings etc. I thought my outfit was fun but had some serious-ness to it. To make myself look super chic and smart for day, I wore my jacket. This jacket was a bargain. The one and only one left in the Forever21 rack. [what a buy?.. ^.^]

The fun part comes in when I matched my red belt and heels with the outfit. Had loads of nice generous comments as no one realised that we could pair red with an all round black and white colour co-ordinated outfit. The comments sure made my day.

Oh! This is also a shout out to Jamie-Lee from Page Sixxx to her "one hundred & thirty-five" post. I just realised I was wearing red and black  [Cantabrian colours], well maybe not much red.. but this is also a tribute to the citizens of Christchurch from a far.

So many things happening arounds us.. sure makes me appreciate life and what we have suddenly seems sweeter in life.

{Anna's No. 15} Old School.. and Halfway there...

Hi peeps.. and ahhhh!!! I'm finally halfway of my 30x30 remixes. Yipppiiiiieeee... I know I'm slow.. but hey slow and steady wins the race right? Or so I think [thinking really hard right now.. do you see any light bulbs around my head?]

It's quite odd, but for a slight moment I feel like I'm back in the 70's or 80's. Then again.. what do I know about the 70's.. [very little am sure..]. When I was much younger, I like going through my mom's old photos and she is really stylish. If only I had her petite frame [lol...] Certain elements that I put together now resembles what she wore during her time; except mine are boot cut jeans and her one was a bell bottom jeans. Do you realised that the old 50's-60's fashion is coming back in trend?

Hehehe..I decided to edit my photo to have a vintage flare. "how cools technology now?"

I wish I could take one of my mom's photo.. scan it in and show you how gorgeous she looks during her younger years, not that she's not gorgeous now ;p.

Okay now, people may I draw your attention back to me please? [Lol..] Here's also a recap my very first 14 remixes.. now it's time for me to embrace for the final 15 more pieces challenge!

{Anna's No.14} British India Style??

Now what's with this British India post you might ask? Well.. to be honest, I might have hit a wall as my brain was stuck thinking of a post title. [lol...] If you like British India's style like I do.. and how they usually would dress up a mannequin, consider this outfit ;p.

Okay, a brief description.. basically over here in KL, M'sia we have a brand called British India and everything is apparently from India. Not sure if you have this brand overseas though. It's more like a travellers/safari clothing style but the pricing is way over the top [noticed how I've bolded this line..keke] I mean really the price is super expensive. Then again that's in my opinion. Perhaps it could be due to the bottoms or tops which are heavily embroidered either with stones or sequins or maybe because the fabrics used are mainly organza, linen, or cotton.

Well, I do own a couple of British India pieces but I usually get them on sale whereby if there's only 70-80% then only I'll consider getting a piece of item. In this 30 remixes, I only included one item from British India. Perhaps next time, my other upcoming posts, I'll show case my few pieces I collected from this brand.

However, this time.. the pieces I placed together are not from British India, and I believe I did pretty well in emulating their style. So what I can conclude is, we don't need super expensive clothes to emulate a style. We just need to be creative and work with our pieces. Agree?

{Anna's No.13} Miss Sassy

Hello Monday and to the rest of the week! Have you ever felt the need to kick start your engine after the weekend? I sure do as I feel like I'm such a home-y person. Well am sure you might agree with me that being able to stay home, do nothing, read a good book and a pamper session is a luxury. Or I could be turning into a couch potato??? [hehehhe....]

Apart from my fetish for cute cardis, I love polka dots too. Sometime back, I found a really great black skirt with a fantastic structure  [i am sensing some stares.. good ones or bad ones?]. The skirt hugs at all the right area and really accentuate a lady's curve. It also gives you a fantastic lift around the bum. Today I've finally wore this skirt for the very first time with my my polka dots top paired with this kick-ass skirt & accessorised with red heels, belt and earrings.

In my opinion, having some punch to an outfit adds some edge to start the week off right. Hmm..now what will I wear on Tuesday or the day after? Stay tune..

{Anna's No.12} Weekend Outing in Christmas Colours?

Just the other day, it was pretty strange as I was humming a Christmas Carol. I know... it's still beginning of the year and that Christmas is not till December. I guess Christmas somehow puts me in a different place and completely different mood. It's like nothing could stop me from just being happy, chirpy and above all nothing could tick me off like a time bomb.

The only thing bad probably you might think is "Oh god! what was she thinking, wearing those colours?" Oh well..like I said.. nothing could put me in a fowl mood if I think it's Christmas every single day. However,  this don't happen all the time as I fear my colleagues will think that I'm kuku. Lol..

Remember that top I just recently showcased? The F21 top, that I boast how comfy it was? Well, yeah.. guilty as charged..I kindna' wore it again over the weekend. Call me lazy, but then some of my remixes were in the wash and waiting to be ironed.

I'm such a sucker for cardis, and I think I should really drop that fetish of mine. What do you think? I can't believe that I paired my F21 top with one of my fav green cardi... Now, to reveal the outfit [drumrolls]..
ta-da [okay, I don't usually say this but it was to heighten up the effect] Did it work?

{Anna's No.11} Anthropologist @ Work

Yeay! Here comes the weekend.. I have serious love for this Forever 21 top. I found it on a rack in Forever 21 and it was the one and only piece left. Plus it has a discounted price [a great buy ;)]. My heart dropped when I saw it and knew immediately that this top will slowly find a way into my closet, it's new home.

I don't know where to begin to tell you that this top is super comfy.. I could literally sleep in it. I believe this is my first time revealing the top too. Instead of pairing with a necklace, I decided to use my buttterfly scarf as the accessory instead. The top is a little pink-ish red. I think military green and maroon-ish colours work pretty well together. Today I feel like an anthropologist, scouting for new ideas to create new outfits. Or maybe an archeologist searching for precious jewels, but with Sex in The City's SJP in mind.. pairing the whole outfit together with va va voom red wedge. Now, perhaps one day I will have my Louboutin??

{Anna's No.10} Getting there..

Oh gosh.. I'm soooooo way behind on the outfit remix. However, I'm getting there.. I was just looking back through some of the outfits.. and I think I could do better. I am itching to create more fun playful outfits or something funky...

Screw the hot weather, I'm gonna be me, myself and I and do my layering if possible. Lol..

Not sure if this shot works, but I was pretty lazy to step outside and since I was wearing green I thought of photographing my outfit in my own cosy room.. Do I look like a cameleon trying to blend in with my sheets?

Till then!

{Anna's No.9 + Rule Breaking Monday} Fuschia floral dress, another Beidge dress &Green Cardi

I believed I felt like a Tropical Barbie in this outfit, but in ++ size. Lol.. Who would know that fuschia and green can go together? Well I certainly didn't know until I was looking at a tropical art piece that we purchase for our family home.

Right now, I have not enjoyed dressing as much as I used to. I mean I've always love dressing up but I love love love it even more now. It's just super fun. Pushing your creativity and really the sky's the limit. I believe we do get better as we go along. Sometimes the outfit may not seem much, but what matters most is how we feel in it. I would say.. gorgeous all the time ;)!

This week will be quite a crucial week as my big boss came down and had a discussion with us. Talk about making an impression?

Right now I couldn't quite recall the look I put together, whether has it been inspired by another fellow remixer. For this, please forgive me if I couldn't name anyone at this point.

Hmm.. I'm thinking of doing something to my hair. My hair is naturally wavy + hot and humid weather= frizzy maine. Not so great.. Wondering if I should go perm and have larger curls or chop it.. any suggestions????? Hello.. any fashionista readers out there.. Feel free to suggest and I might just take your suggestion for a new look.
