Styling 101: Petite Bags

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Hey guys!
Time sure flies, we're already into February of 2015 (yay!!)
A month full of happiness and love.
For all the lovely ladies out there, I've got something special to share with you today.
I'm going to show you how I style MINI BAGS and CLUTCHES!

As you mostly know, mini bags are all the rage these days.
In any designers' runway recently, we find many versions of mini bags.
From the original Chanel quilted bag, Valentino's rainbow rockstud bag, to the 'It Bag of 2015' Fendi Micro Peekaboo bag (yup, noted)!
People are finding new ways to make a statement and exploring their originality.

Maybe some of these bags of mine are vintage and a bit old, but I'm going to share on how to style them from casual everyday-wear to party-wear my way!

Check it out!


CASUAL FRIDAY


 For the first look, I'm wearing a Marc Jacobs black mini sling bag with a casual outfit.
I feel that a black bag is an essential in every girl's closet because it's the most basic thing there is.
A red-black checkered shirt layered with a printed sweater with ripped jeans.
This look is perfect for a walk outside or a quiet study time in the library.



SUN-DAZED

A bit of a turn up for casual-wear.
I've paired up this Tory Burch neutral-colored clutch with a black shirt-dress, an earthy leather jacket, and some gold bling for accessories.
For you leather-lovers: go hard or go home!
A great tip: choose pieces of the same element to create a stunning look, in this case leather and gold.
Less is more!



A FUN DAY AT THE BEACH



My vintage Chloe amber-colored mini sling bag totally suits holiday-wear!
For this look, I've chosen colors which complements each other, a great combo between the cools and the warms.
A daisy-patterned mini dress, topped with a sheer baby-blue crop top, and a daisy choker.
Chokers are indeed popular here in Melbourne, maybe they will start to trend in Indonesia too?
Don't forget your sunnies, girls!




EFFORTLESSLY LUXURIOUS


Whites can be matched with everything.
And let's face it, nothing can beat an all white look!
Totally luxurious with no effort whatsoever.
A loose white shirt, white skorts, a Louis Vuitton classic mini bag, and a quirky gold necklace to complete the whole outfit.

You can also add in a large scarf and tie it like a sailor collar.
(I should've removed the necklace, oops!)
Perfectly suit you who loves to cruise during the holidays.
Anyway, my bag can be changed into a mini sling bag so it's pretty handy.
There's nothing wrong with a little luxury once in a while, right?
When in doubt, wear white!



A DAY AT THE OFFICE


Feeling like a total pro in with this bright yellow look.
A blinding Charles & Keith's boxy yellow mini bag, a black & white one piece dress, yellow blazer, and a baby blue flower necklace.
Totally playing the color-block game here.
Yes, I know, each yellow is in a slightly different hue to each other.
But, if you can find another piece to even them out, why not?
Cheer everyone up by bringing sunshine inside the dull office (or classroom) today!




NAUGHTY OR NICE?



Shopping for something special to wear on Valentine's Day?
Be romantic in an all-lace look (and if may I recommend: curls and semi-smokey make up!).
A Karen Millen hot pink lacey clutch, paired up with a lace crop top, and a mini pencil skirt (the bow is optional).
Again, choose pieces that connect with each other by looking for that one specific element!
This outfit is perfect for a party or a date with that special someone.
Black is the new pink!

Day 5 - Gold Coast

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Hey what's up guys!

I'm back to finish off my photo gallery~
Today I'll be sharing my experience from Dream World, Gold Coast.
I didn't ride much of its attractions, 'cause there were more to see!
But the few rides that I rode were some of the best ones in Gold Coast, not to mention EXTREME!!!

Anyways, enjoy!


LOVE this ride, totally dizzy but at the same time satisfying.

This one makes people (almost) puke, so I didn't ride it.
It's that kind of rides that both the seats and the 'ride' turns 360 degrees in different directions.
If you love getting dizzy, I would recommend it!

This ride has super fast turns and made me hit my head to the seats.
But, every second of it was totally worth it.
Plus, I love the colors!

Also rode the ones called "Tower of Terror II" and "Wipeout", but didn't get the chance to take pics of the rides.
Both are very highly recommended!

Photo sessions starts here!



Couldn't resist from taking selfies, how cute are they?!



Shrek is gonna be very tan anytime soon.

My face tho, haha totally excited!

 Wrapping it up with a family portrait :D

There was one more attraction or should I say a 'ride' that you can play with a bunch of friends.
If you ever played Virtual Strike and loved it, then you should definitely play this!
It's called "Zombie Evilution"
You get to shoot people of the opposite team with a laser gun, totally cool!



I reckon everyone's is still into the holiday spirit!
I know that my pictures are still lacking in many ways, but I do hope that I made you guys have fun too in these past few posts (especially people that just stayed home).
 
 Anyways, now that my gallery's done I can post about other things (yay!)
Stay tuned for my next one and I'll make sure that it will be different.
Thank you for your time and support!
Taa~

Day 4 - Gold Coast

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Heyya peeps!

I'm back and ready to share with you Day 4 of my trip.
So today we're going to Warner Bros. Movie World!

I had a lot of fun and definitely got addicted with the rides there.
I would really recommend for you people who loves to travel and visit amusement parks to go to Gold Coast if you had the chance.
Rent a car, ready a GPS and just go anywhere you want! (no tours needed)
But remember, in Australia almost every park closes at 5pm or at most 6pm. so make sure to go early and pack lunch.

I hope you guys will enjoy the photos today.
I'm still pretty much an amateur in blogging, but I'm going to improve myself so please bear with me~

 

 Movie World was filled with Christmas spirit!

Met classic characters, heroes and cartoon characters too.









I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE RIDES LIKE SERIOUSLY YOU HAVE TO TRY THEM!
Might as well OOTD :
Top: COTTON ON
Shorts: got this a long time ago, so I can't remember
Cardi: VALLEYGIRL
Sandals: NOVO
Tote bag: LONGCHAMP

I wanted to go on the Superman Escape twice, but I had no time (weep).



I didn't ride this one because if I did, I will be very very wet.
But my friends said this was fun, so how about giving it a go?

After all the commotion, I managed to get souvenirs and did a little shopping for myself.
I find it really fun and it felt like I was a kid again.
I had nothing to worry about, nothing to think of, it was just pure paradise, the best getaway ever! 


Hope you guys got a taste of fun from my pictures.
Will upload the last day shortly.
 Taa~
