all time favorite floral vintage retro dress

took this photo in 2010. i just wanna share this gorgeous vintage retro dress with you. even it's 2012, i'm still loving this dress! this dress deff is my all time favorite! this was one of the best DIY i've ever done. Made some tiny modifications on the back of the dress, cut the sleeves (it was a long sleeve at first), and made the dress shorter. I bought this dress in a flea market in my city with a very generous price! Oh how i miss spending hours in a flea market :')

Btw, told you i'll go shopping today (supposed to be yesterday or today) but gonna have to cancel the plan because need to attend in a meeting. may be tomorrow ;)

tell me what you think of the dress, and share your DIY tips. :)

ready for summer!

i know it's still far from summer for some of you..but since i live in a tropical land, it's either rainy or sunny day for me. yeay! :D

i'm going to Bali with my friends and bf on 9th March. i'm so excited everytime i go to Bali even i've been there for too many times! still never get enough of Bali.
i start to make my "must-buy-item" list before i go (yes, i always get this excited for holidays even it's still..what? a month from now? hehee). but for this time, i only need a new high waist bikini. i'll try to focus myself on this one while i go shopping tomorrow or friday arfter work.

as i'm having my lunch, i browsed some cute bikinis and onepiece..i'll find something close to these. tell me what you think and which one you like best! :)

these two, i found them in anthropologie

          

        Smoked Retro Bikini                                         Dear Marlene Bikini

and lucky me, i found a swimwear line called twentyforteen and for you who live in Jakarta, you can find them in The Goods Dept, Plaza Indonesia.

they designed some amazingly cute and adorable bikinis and onepieces!! very retro just what i like!

a friend of mine told me that you can order (custom made) your bikini/onepiece, they'll make it based on your size, colors, and material that you want. i'll try the Goods Dept first, if i don't find what i want, may be i'll do the custom made thingy. these are some of their amazing designs, tell me how can't you love them?!

can't stop looking at this one!!

although i already have a onepiece, but this one is a must have!

don't you think so? red-white stripes + beach + summer = perfection!

just by looking from their website i already had a panic attack!
