How this week flies by

2011-01-23T10:36:00.009Z

Top, Shorts - Topshop
Jacket - Primark
Bag, Belt - Ebay
Boots - H&M

Hi everyone, I managed to quickly take some pictures yesterday before I went to see Steven's grandma. I can't believe it's the weekend again already! How the week flew by... but I think it's a good thing I suppose, I hate it when the week drags.

I've got this stupid headache this morning (no no, I don't have a hangover) it's because I didn't have enough sleep, I tried to go back to bed but just couldnt get back to sleep, so hopefully this headache will be gone (it better be gone) by tonight.

I feel quite excited for the upcoming week, not just because next week is payday but also because after next week I'll be taking some days off from work!

Oooh and you know what? I picked up this mascara from Boots the other day because it was on offer and when I got home I didn't actually know what the mascara was all about! Has anyone ever tried Rimmel Lash Accelator Mascara before? Does this mascara have an effect to make your lashes "look" longer or does it actually have some kind of formula to make your lashes " grow" longer? I feel so stupid now...

Anyways I'll stop writing for now and try to do some exercise later followed by some lunch. I've managed to loose 4.5lbs in the past 2 weeks and now I feel inspired to loose more hehe.

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone!
And follow me on Twitter?

Love, Indah xx

The boy was too busy...

2011-01-15T20:31:00.021Z

Playsuit - Primark
Cable Knit Cardigan - New Look
Bag - H&M
Dahlia Ring - Thrifted
Nail Polish - Models Own #Nude Beige

Hi everyone, hope you're all keeping well. This is actually my 1st post of 2011 (I'm ashamed!), oh well as always my daily routine is keeping me busy and I just don't have time to write a new post so often. I do apologise, I fully understand why I'm loosing a few followers but like I said my blog is just for fun, I have a job outside the blogging world to keep me going and I'm also now officially a student again - so time is really tight for me at the moment. Having said that I would like to say hello to all my new and current followers, thank you for always being there, it really means a lot to me.

Anyways, if you are following me on twitter, I went to see Steven's Grandma yesterday wearing this outfit. Since Steven was too busy playing on his FIFA '11 game he was totally ignoring me when I asked him to take some pictures of me (shocking!). I had to use my tripod to take these pictures and as you can maybe tell, they didn't turn out great - definitely need more practise! Maybe having a remote shutter release would help to to save my little legs? Have you guys got any tips on how to take a better self portrait? I need your advice so I don't have to rely on someone else anymore :P

So have any of you been up to anything nice this weekend? I really want to go on holiday (desperately!) but still need to wait until I've got enough funds which could be a very very long wait haha.

Hope you are all having a good weekend, stay safe!

Ps: RIP my Tumblr - Steven has accidentally terminated my account, he was meant to be joking but accidents happend =(

Christmas Summary

2010-12-28T16:49:00.008Z

01. That picture was taken from my mum in law's house. First of all, happy belated Christmas to everyone, hope you've all had an amazing festive season! This year in the UK we've had a very white christmas indeed, I wasn't too excited about the snow though because I'm getting tired of it! On Christmas day I went to my mum in law's house for christmas dinner :)

02. My outfit on christmas day. The dress and necklace are from Topshop and the clutch bag is from Matalan (on sale for only £3). I kept my eye makeup simple and natural paired with a bright red lipstick.

03. Christmas presents.I didn't expect to get many presents this year, all I really wanted was to spend the holidays with my family back home. Steven's family though got me a lot of presents such as makeup, bag, perfume and money etc. Steven bought me a Nintendo Wii which I've been wanting for quite a while (I've been saving to buy one but most of the time all my money just gone to pay my bills) and he also got me a GHD hair straighteners. Those presents cheered me up and made me a very happy girl =)

04. Boxing day sale. I got quite a lot of money this year from Steven's family but I don't intended on spending it all at once, in fact I'm trying really hard to save it. For the first time in years I'm not interested in the boxing day sales, I thought I've got way too many things already, so yeah I feel proud of myself for not spending my cristmas money. There's one sale that I couldn't resist buying, a LUSH sale! 50% all christmas items including gifts, yes please! I love, love, love lush! Their sales are always awesome! I bought the infamous snow fairy shower gel, cinders bath ballistic, the bearded lady bubble bar and a gingerbread house tin (which consists of 4 fabulous items). All those items combined at RRP would have cost me £24.35 but as it was 50%off I only paid £12.19! Weeee! I was so happy and went home with a big smile on my face =D

05. Lush gingerbread house tin. Have a look at these! The tin house itself is super cute and the inside parts are even cuter! They look good enough to eat! Yummm!
The tin consists of the following: Gingerbread bubble bar, Candy cane Bubble bar, Cinders bath ballistic and Lil' Pud bath bomb. All of these are 50% off so be quick before they're all gone!

All in all I had a fantastic Christmas this year and hopefully you did too! Don't forget to show me what you got for christmas also! =D

Aaaand, have you got any plans for new year's eve yet? Not long to go now... I'm going to see Angels and Airwaves and Blink 182 next year and can't wait!

American Apparel Today's Deal, be quick!

2010-12-15T19:38:00.003Z

Hi guys just a quick post for tonight as I've just been reading Gem's Fatale's Style Blog and she's just blogged about this awesome deal from American Apparel, so I thought I'd share it with you =) (why not eh?)

The offer is you can buy £50 worth of American Apparel online voucher for just £25 (that's 50% off!) through Groupon, you can use the voucher online at American Apparel Website to buy clothing or accessories but make sure you read the T&C's on the website before you purchase everything as I'm pretty sure this voucher can't be used on sale items.

Love, Indah xx

Here comes the snow

2010-11-28T14:03:00.014Z

Oversized Jumper - Vintage
Snood - H&M
Thermal Leggings - Unknown
Wellington Boots & Ring - Ebay
Bag - Primark

This is what I wore yesterday to see 30 Seconds To Mars' concert with special guests Funeral Party and Enter Shikari. I don't usually wear animal print as I never looked good in them, but I took a change and just went with it. My new wellies have come in handy for this kind of weather, I bought them off ebay for £7 inclusive of postage. The snood is exactly the same as the one that I was wearing here just in different colour, I've bought them in every colour as I love them much!. Just in case you're wondering why I choose my scrabble ring with the letter "S" on it, "S" is for Steven ♥

I had an amazing time last night, Jared Leto especially was brilliant! Me and Steven had to walk home in the snow because all the buses were suspended due to the adverse weather, it took us 1.5 hours to get home! The journey wasn't easy either because it was -3 celcius! Freezing cold weather and walking up hills covered in thick snow (which was at least +10 inches thick) wasn't the most pleasant part of the evening but overall I still had the best night ever! We got home around 12.20am and went straight to bed. This morning woke up with aching knees and still wearing yeterday's clothes and makeup! =D

It's been snowing here in the North East constantly, all I want to do is stay at home and snuggle up under the covers!. I wish I didn't have to go to work tomorrow either :( the journey could be pretty awkward and annoying.

Once I got out from the house the snow was pretty deep!

Picture taken from the park near where I live

So how's the weather like near you? I was quite excited to see the snow at first but now I just feel tired of it! Hope you'll all stay safe and keep warm :)

Baby it's cold outside...

2010-11-06T15:02:00.007Z

Jumper - Primark
Shorts - Internacionale
Rings - Primark, Dorothy Perkins
Tights - Primark
Boots - Thrifted
Bag - Ebay

This is what I wore to see Linkin Park live in concert at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle yesterday. I know my outfit is not Linkin Park related but I opted to keep myself warm rather than wear a Linkin Park t-shirt and feel cold as we had to queue for hours outside the venue before the doors opened. The concert was brilliant! I had so much fun that I lost my voice after the concert as I sang my heart out to every track, but it was all worth it!

The jumper that I'm wearing is from Primarks' current collection, it was £11 and I bought it two sizes bigger than my actual size as I wanted it to be slightly baggy rather than a tight fitting. Suprisingly I love it! Normally I dislike baggy jumpers as I think I look ridiculous in them.

I also love my new ring (the one on the right in the picture) it's from Dorothy Perkins which I got in the sale for £3 (bargainicious!). As I mentioned in my previous posts, I love love love bargains and can't justify spending so much money for clothing as I have many more important things to take care of such as bills for my home etc. I pretty much work hard just to pay my bills =( but I have to feel grateful because at least I have a job to keep me going.

At the moment I feel rather uninspired, cold weather makes me lazy to dress up and thus making my outfits become kinda boring. Sometimes I get the feeling that I just can't be bothered to do anything, does anyone else have this feeling from time to time or is it just me?

Oh and finally...my giveaway ends tomorrow, have you entered yet? Please do so if you haven't and do not miss out!

Love, Indah xx

Just a quickie

2010-11-03T19:46:00.006Z

Helloooo hope everyone is keeping well. First of all I'd like to say thank you very much for all of your kind thoughts on my previous post. Todays post is just a quick update with no outfit post I'm afraid (eep sorry!). I've been so busy with work recently that I didn't have time to make a new post (hence the reason why I'm loosing a few regular followers). I had to say no today when my manager asked me to do overtime tomorrow because I'm so tired, I need some rest and to try and catch up with my blogging =).

I promise I will do another outfit post really soon over the weekend, but in the meantime I know it's a bit late because i'ts already November, but I thought I'd let you know that I've been featured as blogger of the month for October by the lovely Sarah from "Wearing It On My Sleeves"

You can read my interview here and of course don't forget to check out and follow her stylish blog.

I have a few plans for the rest of the week, first thing after work tomorrow I'm going to try to dye my hair again (after a few failed attempts) hopefully this time it will work! On friday I'm taking a day off from work and going to go to see Linkin Park live in concert which I'm really excited about!

I think that's it from me for today, I'm going to cook dinner now and then sit down to watch the apprentice because this week episode is "fashion week" which sounds interesting and then go to bed, I feel absolutely shattered as I've been up since 5:45am this morning and had to start work at 8am *sigh*.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway if you haven't entered already. You still have 4 days before it ends.

Enjoy the rest of your night everyone and I'm sorry for being a very bad blogger lately and also I do apologise for this uninteresting post because I just have nothing to say ( that shows you how boring I am) =(

Love, Indah xxx

One devastating day...

2010-10-27T20:14:00.006+01:00

Hi everyone, first of all sorry this is not a fashion nor a beauty related post.
Not many of you may know but I'm originally from Jakarta, Indonesia. Right now "sad" is not even the correct word to express my feelings of how devastated I am to have heard the news from my friends and family back home and also from the news over the internet and tv etc about the double disasters that have happened in my country in the past 2 days.

2 days ago, one part of the island was hit by a tsunami where 134 innocent people died. Yesterday on another part of the island an active volcano "Mount Merapi" errupted 3 times spewing plumes of hot ash and rock. Lots of people young and old along with animals were killed by the heat and burning ash. Thousands of families have lost their homes and are now being evacuated, gathering into one place with minimum food, clothing and sleeping on the bare floor.

This news is really upsetting for me, I'm here in the UK and sometimes I moan about such simple things, but hearing this news made me realise how lucky I am to have enough food, a nice warm house, bed to sleep and plenty of clothing to wear. Me and my Indonesian friends in the UK are planning to give a little something to help the innocent victims and hopefully cheer them up just a little bit. All we can do now is pray. Please, please, please to everyone who is reading this, please pray for Indonesia it would mean a lot to me and especially to those in Indonesia=)

I spoke to my dad this morning over the telephone, thank God none of my family are involved as my family lives quite far from the affected area.

Below is a video that I found on youtube about the double disasters in Indonesia

And here are some pictures of the situation in the affected areas after the volcanic erruption which I got from facebook
(WARNING: There are some disturbing images that you might not want to see. If you're brave enough then keep going, if not I'd advice you to stop reading. I'm sorry for any inconvinience.)

Rest in peace to all the people and animals who were killed.
God please bless and help those in need in Indonesia.

Thank you for reading this

Love, Indah xxx

How cold is it outside?

2010-10-23T16:45:00.009+01:00

Skater Dress - Thrifted (originally Forever 21)
Faux Leather Jacket, tights & brogue shoes - Primark
Snood/ Circle scarf - H&M
Cameo Ring - Topshop
"Time for Tea" Hairslide - Crown and Glory
Bag - Longchamp`

I can't believe how cold the weather has been lately! I'm not a big fan of winter to be honest, as I come from a tropical country which has summer all year round with just a little bit of a rainy season I just can't bare the cold. Somehow however, I survive with my hot water bottle which is my bestfriend in the winter months =)

So here is what I was wearing today, I'm actually wearing a thermal vest underneath my dress to keep me warm. At the moment I just love this snood from H&M, they were £4.99 and I've got practically every colour of them because they are the warmest and the comfiest by far. Oh and talking about H&M, I've not had a very pleasant experience with their online delivery service but I'll tell you more about that on my next post (hopefully). Oh and check out my new "Time for Tea" hairslide from Crown and Glory, isn't it cute?

Anyways...I hope I'm not rambling too much! Tonight I think I'm just staying in and ready to watch the X-factor accompanied by strawberry cheesecake Yummm! =)

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and don't forget to enter my giveaway if you haven't already entered yet.

I didn't feel myself today

Head Tie, Top, Black Ring, Tights - Primark

Blazer - Vintage at Dixi
Tiger Necklace - Dixi
Bag - Ebay
Boots - Dr. Martens

Helloooo, happy 10.10.10 everyone =). I didn't feel myself wearing these boots today as I normally wear flats, I love my flats to death! I didn't think I looked good in them but as they've been sitting under my bed for quite sometime and as it's starting to get pretty cold outside I thought I'd wear them to keep my feet warm. So what do you guys think?

Don't forget to click here to enter my giveaway.

It's been a long time...

2010-09-12T14:46:00.009+01:00

Shirt, belt - Primark
Trousers - Peacocks
Bag - H&M
Ring - New Look
Wedge shoes - Topshop

Hi everyone, I know it's been a while and I apologise for the lack of posts as i've had many things going on recently. How's everyone doing? I hope you are well. I've changed my blog name recently just in case you didn't notice.
I would like to say HELLO to all my new followers, hope you are enjoying reading my random rambles =D

This is what I was wearing today. I've been looking for this kind of sheer and black shirt lately, just to pair it up with my new favourite trousers, seen the similar ones in ZARA for £39.99, glad I found this one pretty cheap for £10, nothing can beat primark for value.

Oh also, recently I've been learning to make a hair bun but because my hair is too thin I needed a bun shaper. I got it from Claire's accessories but you can also find it on ebay just as cheap. I'm quite happy with the result eventhough as you can see from my picture, it's still a uneven and I'm going to need a little more practise before I'm able to make a perfect bun.

Finally for today, I'm thinking of doing another giveaway when I reach 200 followers just to say thank you to all my regular readers, any kind of suggestions are very welcome as I still have no idea what to give as a prize. Hope everyone has had a nice day my lovelies!

Love, Indah xxx

Flower power... Power flower

Dress - Lovestruck @ Funk Rock
Denim Jacket - H&M
Necklace - Accessorize
Rings - Vintage, Muse
Sandals - River Island
Bag - Topshop

Hello gorgeous people...! I hope you're all doing well. Today me and Steven just went to the park nearby just enjoying the lazy Sunday as always didn't know what to do every Sunday, doh! I decided to wear this pretty, light weight, floral "Issy" dress from Lovestsruck @ Funk Rock which I adore very much because it's very comfortable perfect for the summer or pair it with tights and a cute jacket for autumn/ winter! Seems like I can't get enough of floral stuff, can't you?

Talking about Funk Rock, for those who don't know about it, it's a UK based independent clothes store which supplies favourite labels like: motel, TFNC, Ironfist, Siren, Superdry, Pop boutique, Irregular Choice and many more, they also have their own labels which are Funkrock and Lovestruck. The stuff on their store is absolutely gorgeous! I advice you to pop over to their website at www.funkrock.co.uk to have a look and tell me what you think, if you live near Hatfield area you can also pop in to their shop which is situated at 17a The galleria, Hatfield AL7 3UU.
Aaaannnd, they are having a 50% off sale for selected items at the moment, so be quick and get yourself a bargain! Because all the pretty stuff wouldn't be there very long! Who doesn't love bargain? Because I do! Very much! =)

Oh by the way, I'm loving my teapot necklace at the moment, Isn't it cute? I've got it in Accessorize sale for £5, I love it when I can find great stuff in the sale, because obviously money is always a problem for me.

Ohh am I rambling too much? Yes? No? No -Yes? haha sorry. I actually quite enjoy blogging now and again, because you all girls are very nice! Would very much like it if we can meet one day ( here we go again... she's rambling again! ). Ok I will stop now, hope you guys had a nice weekend and please keep in touch =)

The weather has decieved me

2010-08-15T16:50:00.009+01:00

Dress - H&M
Belt & Tights - Primark
Rings -Miss Selfridge & Claire's Accessorise
Bag - Ebay
Shoe Boots - Office

In the past week the weather been very dull, rainy, windy and cold for August. So today I decided to wear this dress and paired it with tights and shoe boots, because I thought the weather was going to be cold like yesterday. And guess what? I was wrong! It's sunny and pretty warm outside (for a change!), if I'd known that, I wouldn't have worn tights and shoe boots! I felt so stupid today as everyone in town was just wearing shorts, t-shirt and sandals. Duh failed!

Anyways, as much as I love this dress because it has a cute peterpan collar, I just couldn't get any better pictures, it just so hard to photograph it and also the lighting in my house is not very good ( yeah yeah excuses excuses... ), so I do apologise for that and for slightly boring outfit girlies.

Finally, how's everyone doing today? I hope you had a nice weekend. Back to work tomorrow :(

Love, Indah xx

2in1 Harem Pants Anyone?

2010-08-07T18:41:00.015+01:00

(This picture is taken from the actual website)

Jacket - H&M
White vest top - Primark
Harem pants - Zipia
Bag - Ebay
Sandals - Peacocks
Bird and ball locket necklace - Zara Taylor

I wasn't sure if I suit harem pants or not, but when I seen this one I thought It's pretty cool as you can wear it in 2 different ways either as pants or as a jumpsuit. I wanted to make the whole outfit as simple as possible but not too boring, so I picked this cute little necklace from Zara Taylor to accessorise this simple outfit. I'm still debating whether to keep the harem or not... harem or not to harem? Hmm decisions decisions...

Talking about Zara Taylor, she's one of my favourite jewelry designers. Her designs are unique and quirky yet super cute and pretty. If you haven't checked out her website yet, I suggest you do so at http://zarataylor.co.uk/ and I guarantee you'll find something you like. Fearne Cotton and Davina McCall have been seen wearing Zara Taylor's designs recently and some fellow bloggers too =)

Here are some of her pretty designs that I've been eying on
All pictures are taken from http://zarataylor.co.uk/
*(Top) Left to right:My dear watson - Real magnifying glass pendant necklace and Solid brass compass pendant necklace
*(Bottom) Left to right:The explorer - Binocular long chain pendant necklace and Who's the fairest of them all - Mirror long chain pendant necklace

All pictures are taken from http://zarataylor.co.uk/
*(Top) Left to right: Gold swallow & dahlia necklace and Pretty lace necklace
*(Bottom) Left to right: Peach rose ring and Corpse bride ring

Aren't they all pretty? I'm thinking of doing the next giveaway for the chance to win one of her designs. Any thoughts?

Oh and also you can follow her blog here

Does any of you have any favourite jewelry designer(s)? Share with me please... as I'm a sucker for accessories and jewelry =D

Kitty love playsuit

2010-08-01T18:04:00.017+01:00

Playsuit - Asda
Wedge & Bracelets -Primark
Ring - H&M
Flower hair slide - Peacocks
Bag - Ebay
Nail polish - Barry M "coral"

I'm a sucker for playsuits especially the cute printed ones. And while I was browsing around I came across the ASDA website, I personally never really buy ASDA clothing range, but there was 2 items that caught my eye, which were the cat playsuit here and the other one was the blue playsuit with white spotty and halterneck detail. So I bought those 2 online, but decided to return the blue spotty one as the material was pretty thin and wasn't really flattering to my not so flat tummy =D, but I'm glad I kept the cat playsuit as I'm in love with it! I wore it yesterday for my birthday meal with friends, and I got so many compliments which made me happy.

As for the wedge, I think for only £15 it's such a steal! I'm sure I've seen similar ones on ASOS for a much higher price. Ahhh how I love bargain...

Also I'd like to say a big big thank you to everyone who wishing me a happy birthday on my last post, you are very kind. I had a great time with Steven and my friends.

Well that's it for today, I hope you've all had a great weekend!

Love, Indah x

Happy birthday to me for tomorrow

2010-07-28T20:03:00.003+01:00

Tomorrow is my birthday! Hip hip Horrayyyy...
I'll turn *cough* 26 *cough*, I'm an old lady! Need to buy some wrinkle cream soon =)
Anyways, as I'll be working long hours tomorrow and probably won't have time to write a new post I thought I'd write one today.
I wish I could celebrate my birthday with my family though... but since my family lives thousand miles away from me, so I can't really do anything. So lucky you if you get a chance to celebrate your birthday, christmas etc with your family, I'm jealous!

Also, I'd like to say HELLOOOO to all my new followers, and thank you very much for following my blog. It really means a lot to me. I promise I'll do a new post very soon, I just seems very busy at the moment. Sorry sorry sorry.

So does any of you share the same birthday as me?

Love, Indah x

I feel like a Grecian Goddess

2010-07-17T16:08:00.012+01:00

Dress - Rebel Rebel
Necklace - Miss Selfridge
Bracelets & Bangle - Primark
Flower hairslides - Unknown
Jelly Sandals - River Island

I finally got a chance to do an outfit post again because I just got myself a new netbook =), so I don't have to borrow Steven's laptop anymore *relieved*

The dress I wore is actually peach/ coral kinda colour but as always the lighting in my house is not very good so it looks like it's pink. I've been wanting a one shoulder dress like this since a month ago or so, so once I seen this dress I grabbed it right away as it's pretty cheap! Who doesn't love a bargain?

Oh and can you believe that the sandals I wore are actually jelly sandals? They don't look like jelly sandals to me and for only £12.99 they look pretty cool... Don't you think?

Anyways let me introduce you to my new netbook! =D

I've got no money left now after buying it... So I need to stop buying things and stay away from the sale! And I also want to apologise, I promised last month that I'd have another giveaway becuse my birthday is coming up however, I don't think I can afford it now :(, sorry I just can't afford it at the moment, I'm so so so poor... but I promise I will have another giveaway sometime in the near future :)

Love you guys and thank you for reading my blog that means a lot xx

A teeny weeny MAC and Sleek haul

2010-07-10T20:07:00.008+01:00

Helloooo, I hope everyone's doing fine. I actually didn't buy these today but they are still my recent purchases and I meant to blog about them since a few days ago but just had no access to the internet, but everything's okay now... I just wish I could get myself a new laptop though.

Anyways, on to the goodies! Recently I've ordered some stuff from MAC In the Groove collection, I already have Petticoat MSF and Candlight MSF from the previous collections so this time I only purchased Stereo Rose MSF and Jazzed Lipstick. Glad I did purchase them as they are such a gorgeous colours and I wear them nearly everyday! And also I finally got my hands on BNIB 3N lipstick from a blog sale! yayyy, Ive been wanting to try this lipstick because of the raves out there, and yes it's such a lovely nude colour but I don't think it's suits my MAC NC37 skintone very well.

MAC Stereo Rose Mineralize Skin Finish

L - R: MAC Jazzed (cremesheen) and MAC 3N (lustre) Lipsticks

Me wearing MAC Stereo Rose MSF Jazzed lipstick =)

And the other day I went to my local superdrug to picked up Sleek pout polishes, and guess what? I love love love them! Pout polish is actually a tinted lip conditioner it's a thick gloss, very pigmented, soft, and it's conditioned my lips straight away once I applied it. For a £3.99 each you can't go wrong because they are worth a buy. I purchased 2 colours Raspberry Souffle - which is a pink purpley and a limited edition colour and Electric Peach which looks very bright peachy coral on the tube but it's actually very nice and natural looking on the lips.

So, have you been treating yourself to any goodies lately?

Les Paris des Parisiens =)

2010-07-01T18:16:00.013+01:00

So as promised, here are some pictures that we took when I and my other half were on holiday in Paris.

We had an amazing time until we got to the airport to fly home and found out that our flight had been canceled due to industrial strikes, so we had to stand in the queue (possibly the biggest queue I've ever seen in my life!) just to ask what was going on etc. It was manic!

Aaand after 6 hours queuing we ended up having to stay another night in Paris as the earliest flight to Newcastle was not until 2 days later! We managed to get a flight to Glasgow the next day, and had to take a train from Glasgow to Newcastle. So glad when the journey was over.

Anyways enough rambling, on to the pictures =)

Holiday outfit

2010-06-26T11:04:00.007+01:00

Hellooooo... I'm back from Paris =D, had an amazing time but I'll tell you the whole story from the cancelled flight, stranded at the airport (shocking!) on my next post as I'm still tired at the moment and can't be bothered to do anything, sorry...

So this is what I was wearing on my "called" budget holiday (Paris is bloody expensive!).

Playsuit - Peacocks
Belt - H&M
Bag - Primark
Background - Louvre museum

Proper posing? Of course! =)

And I think that's it for today.

Have a nice weekend girlies... and enjoy the sun! I think I'm just gonna stay in today though.

Love, Indah x

Who's wearing a jacket in June?

2010-06-12T18:14:00.006+01:00

It feels so wrong to wear a jacket in June, but as always the weather is still gloomy today even though it's nearly July! Ahhh God, please please please give us some sun...

This is what I wore today to EAT festival in Newcastle =)

Dress, Jacket and tights - Primark

Accessories

Bag and Rings - H&M
Necklace - Topshop
Nail polish - Barry M "bright purple"

I've been wearing quite a lot of stuff from primark lately, if you don't like it, I'm sorry but things are quite difficult recently for me, my wages still doesn't help much, I have rent, bills to pay etc etc and I'm not a benefit buster! :p, I work very hard to survive.
So that's the reason why I haven't got a lot of spare cash to buy stuff. And again I'm a high street kind a girl... not really interested in designers, the key is MIX and MATCH the stuff that I already have =)

Oooh and another quick reminder if you haven't entered my GIVEAWAY you still have approx a week to go until it's ends. And thank you for all of you who have entered =)

Follow my blog with bloglovin

Hope everyone have a nice weekend

My bargain brogue

2010-06-03T20:40:00.005+01:00

I've been wanting these brogue from Topshop for quite a while now, but errrmm they are £50! And my payday is still a loooong way to go (not that I'm counting the days...)

So yesterday I went to Primark, and found these lovelies in nude colour!

Obviously they are not the exact copy as the Topshop ones, but I'd say they are similar (my picture just doesn't do any justice), and guess how much? They were £8!
I thought I'd share this with you about my bargain of the week :)

Oh and also, I've reached 50 followers now! Yayyy, thank you very much everyone for making me feel welcomed, considering I'm kind of new on this blogging thing.
I'll blog about my giveaway separately over the weekend.

Have a nice weekend everyone

Love, Indah xx

Oh hellooo gorgeous people hope you're doing fine, I'm currently 9 people away from having 50 followers! I know 50 is probably nothing compare to some popular bloggers who have +100 followers, but hey it's means a lot to me... I never ever expected to even have 10, nevermind 41! as I'm just a very ordinary everyday girl :D, so girls (and boys) you making me happy, thank you ever so much! Aaaand because of that, I'm thinking of doing my 1st ever giveaway if I reach 50 followers (slowly but sure) just to say thank you for clicked the follow button, reading my blog, being my friends and all those lovely comments. THANK YOU *hugsss*

I'm still kind of struggling with a good things to give away, any ideas would be very much appreciated :)

Oh and also I'm very sorry for being such a bad bad bad blogger as I haven't blogged a lot lately *eek*, my work shifts = killing me.

Watch this space and I'll be back! :p

Hello sunshine... haven't seen you for a while

2010-05-23T15:38:00.007+01:00

One sunny day in the park

2010-05-22T19:51:00.008+01:00

I'm glad that this weekend the weather been very nice and warm, I can actually get out from the house without wearing my coat! After being to the town We ( me and my husband ) decided to go to the park near our flat just to sit on the grass and enjoy the sunshine for a change. The sun makes me happy and feel positive about myself =)

My mermaid's pose. lol

These daisies are so cute!

We are pair of posers so please bear that in mind :p

Overall I did enjoy it, it's a lovely day and hopefully the weather is going to be nice for the rest of the week.

So what are you up to this weekend? Whatever you're doing I hope you enjoy the sun while it lasts.

I'm probably not going to blog quite often for the next few weeks as I've got more shift hours to do at work, I have to start at 8am and finish at 5.30pm every day, so I'll probably be tired once I get home *sigh* I'm tired now just thinking about it.

Love,
Indah

I went shopping today with my husband, and I wish my payday was this week as I wanted so many things! My husband were a bit upset as I suppose to save money for our holiday, but errmmm I love shopping and can't help that eventhough I have no money (most of the time).

NOTD: Collection 2000 - BMX Bandit #32

2010-05-15T09:37:00.004+01:00

I've got this nail polish from Boots last week, its from collection 2000 - hot looks range.
It dries pretty quick once applied, and the consistency is just right so does the price :).
Here's the picture of the colour of the polish with only 1 coat applied.

So here's just a quick picture of what I wore today in the lazy Sunday! Just a simple outfit - dress, tights and cardi to keep me warm as it's still pretty cold outside,no fancy accessories or anything (boring I know!)

My recent purchase 23/04/10

2010-04-24T11:27:00.008+01:00

I went to newlook yesterday to return a dress and hoping to get my money back but guess what? Typical me, I ended up getting some more stuff!

Firstly, I've got this love pearl crop top, it's looks very simple but I'm in love with the white pearl details, looks cute :)

Picture of me wearing it

Next one, these nude flats, similar (in fact, they look exactly the same!) to the one from Topshop for £16 and I got them for only £8 from New Look, and if you're a staff, it's even better because of the staff discount! They are so comfy, I can see myself wearing them a lot.

My picture is not very good but I'm sure you all know which flats I'm talking about :)

LOVE!

Topshop Gift Card

2010-04-21T22:19:00.004+01:00

What would you buy if you were me, if you got a £25 TOPSHOP gift card? I've got this gift card but I have no idea what to spend on! Because all the stuff I want from there is more than £25 and I'm poor at the moment if I have to pay more with £££ :(, but I don't want to sell it though... it's too cute! hmmm... *thinking*

Anyways, enough rambling... Time to hibernate myself and go to sleep :)

April's Jewelries Haul

2010-04-21T18:02:00.004+01:00

Here are some jewelries I've bought this month, mostly necklaces and bought from TSUK with a bargain price of course! Just thought I'd share with you :)

And more to come.... ( no wonder I always have no money left! )

Revlon Photo Ready Foundation

2010-04-19T18:43:00.005+01:00

I went to Boots last weekend to buy Revlon colorstay foundation since my current foundation is running low. But they didn't have the colour that I normally use, so I picked the new Revlon Photo Ready foundation in Natural Beige #05, thought might as well get it and see how I like it even though I wasn't sure the shade would be the right one for me because the next shade up is too light and the next shade down is too dark :( .

In my opinion this foundation is OK, the coverage is medium so pretty good but not as good as Revlon Colorstay. It's more lightweight and the consistency is not as thick. I normally use my MAC 180 brush to apply foundation, but with this foundation, the coverage came up pretty sheer, so I changed and using MAC 187 to apply this. Some people say that this foundation is shimmery? But to be honest I didn't even find this product shimmery at all? I'm not a professional, so I could be wrong, this is just based in my OWN opinion :). So far I'm not in love with this product (yet!) but it's alright. Oh and the packaging for this is much better than colorstay because it has a pump on the bottle. :)

Here are some pictures of me (with the flash on) wearing this foundation

* Boots have an offer for this foundation at the moment for £9.99, normal price is £12.99.

Holiday plan - Paris/ Amsterdam

I'm planning to do a short break holiday at the end of May (fingers crossed), I've got the visa but still debating whether to go to Paris or Amsterdam. I wish I could afford to go to both cities :(, don't really want to go anywhere else though. Does anyone have any ideas, opinions etc that would be useful for me? xx

Barry M nail paint - Coral #296

2010-04-17T09:36:00.005+01:00

I bought this nail paint yesterday when I was on my lunch break and painted my nails last night but obviously I'm not the best at it hence the mess. But I have to say this is the colour I've been looking for! Perfect for spring and summer.
It's not bright red but it's not too orange (a bit hard to describe) but like it says on the bottle, it's coral :). Found it hard to take the pictures but the 2nd picture is more like the true colour with 2 coats applied.

Barry M nail paint - Coral #296 (without the flash)

My major "want" at the moment

2010-04-16T21:20:00.007+01:00

My major "want" at the moment is got to be this bag

It's from Topshop, and I need this bag in my life in whatever colour I could get! But I just can't see my self spending £36 on a bag at the moment as I'm trying hard to save my money for my next Euro trip :).

So if anyone have this bag and willing to sell it to me cheaper than retail price.. I'll love you forever! I have tried ebay, but always got outbid!! Bugger

Bow addiction and sort of an outfit post!

2010-04-11T17:24:00.010+01:00

At the moment I'm having an addiction for anything with bows. Bow shape jewelries & accessories, bow printed clothing etc, I think they are cute :D

These are 2 my faves at the moment:

I've got this leotard or bodysuit thing last week from Internacionale for £7.99

Close up print

And this crop top ( also from the same shop ^_^ ), excuse my silly face

Close up print

And this is the outfit I'm wearing today, my husband took a picture of me when I wasn't looking!

Hope anyone have a nice day and enjoy the sunshine while it last! xxx

Outfit Post

2010-04-06T19:59:00.005+01:00

So I've been MIA for a while, that's because I don't own a laptop anymore! That is killing me!!! All I've got just my lovely berry.
Anyways, just took a picture of what I wore yesterday... nothing special though :)

Black Studded jumper - Topshop ( I love this! )
"Love" Necklace - Dorothy Perkins
Jeggings - Primark

Aaaand that's it! I hope I can make another post very soon xx

Durham

2010-04-03T13:54:00.007+01:00

So me and my husband went to Durham on good Friday ( 02/01/10). This is my 5th time coming there.
Took the train from Newcastle Central Station and cost me £5.10 return, the journey only took about 12 minutes to get there, so not too bad. Didn't take many decent pictures though as my husband didn't really enjoy it :(, he is more interested in high rise tall buildings like in New York, Hongkong etc rather than classic kind of buildings ( but hellooo, this is UK for God's sake! Stop moaning! lol ). So here are some piccies from our little trip to Durham

Me waiting the metro to go to Central Station

We are here!

Durham City Center

Outside Durham Cathedral

We were not allowed to take a picture of the interior of the Cathedral, but trust me it's amazing! Click HERE to see the galleries from their website.

And this is just the picture of the backyard? ( Don't know how to call this bit! ) with lots of windows thingy?

Aaaand finally me somewhere in the middle of quiet street! Yayyyy how exciting! NOT :p

Overall, I still loved the trip, eventhough I must admit, Newcastle is way better :p, but if you like classic Roman-y buildings like you've seen in the Harry Potter's movies ( even though I never watched Harry Potter's movies, EVER!), you should come and visit here. x

The Vampire Diaries

2010-03-07T10:21:00.000Z

I've been watching The Vampire Diaries on ITV2 recently... and surprisingly, so far I enjoy it!
I never used to like that kind of movie, tv drama/ series etc. Believe it or not I even never watched Twilight movie before! I felt kind of "lost" when people started talking about Twilight... Edward Cullen?(is that his name?), about the book etc! Gaaaahh who the hell is Edward Cullen? hahaha, seems like all my female friends ( and some male!) on facebook changes their 2nd name to "cullen"! Sad I know ^_^

And what's with the vampire things lately? Anyways, about this vampire diaries, I never read the book ( since I'm not a big fan of reading except chick lit ), but I found the TV series quite interesting, the story lines and especially the good looking vampire that I've ever seen, Stefan Salvatore! Not that I have seen a real vampire before or I want to see one in the future *knock on the wood*, but he is a good looking guy!

I have watched the whole season 1 online, since ITV2 is a few episodes behind, and now I can't wait to watch the season 2, I feel like a teen! =)

The vampire diaries is on ITV2 every Thursday at 9pm

Me with contact lenses

I used to wear glasses when I was younger until a few years ago, and I hated it, I looked so nerdy (I used to be a nerd at school anyways! And those horrible kids used to be bullying me because I'm nerdy and fat!), and then decided to wear a clear contact lens, feel so much better! But a bit pain in the back because I have to clean them every night, and sometimes I just can't be bothered to do that, but I think I'm gonna wear contact lense for the rest of my life as I hate my self wearing glasses :(

Nerdy me

With clear contact lens

With brown contact lense and suppose to make your eyes look bigger

But I have big eyes to start with so it looks weird on me. And according to my husband, I look like a ghost??? He is horrible I know... but he loves me really ;p

Moaning before I'm off to bed :p

2010-03-03T21:00:00.002Z

I'm so wrecked! Been up since 5:45am, started work at 8am, and finished at 5pm! Bloody hell! I never stopped since I woke up. No wonder I'm so tired. I'm gonna go to bed soon, because tomorrow I'm gonna do the same routine again until friday. GOD, I'm restless...

Revlon Nail Enamel/ Vernis in Purple Petal #930

2010-02-28T14:08:00.002Z

I'm bored this sunday, so decided to change my nail colour again.
This time I'm using Revlon Nail Enamel/ Vernis in Purple Petal #930
In my opinion it's more like a Barbie pink(?) rather than purple...

Indefinite Leave to Remain Visa

2010-02-27T22:55:00.003Z

Good news for me!!! Yesterday I just got my settlement visa aka Indefinite leave to remain aka Residence Permit for the UK! Ohhh yeah after a long wait and hard work, I finally got it! It's all worth it. So it means, I can stay in this country for as long as I want, Thank you Lord

I've been living here since 2006 but I don't think I'm gonna stay in this country forever as I miss home so badly every single minute... Just want to jet off now if I could.... I miss my family and all my life back home *sad*.

Valentine's Night 2010

2010-02-27T22:04:00.008Z

Here's some pictures from the Valentine's night a few weeks ago at my friend's in Durham. Enjoyed the foods galore ( Yummm Indonesian foods! ) and had fun with the fancy dresses, WII Games, and yeah alcohols for the alcoholics (not me obviously! :p).
It's nice now and again to meet another people come from the same country as me... feel like family =), considering we are thousand miles away from home.
The good thing is we all get along together very well... Lucky me! Because in some part of the UK or maybe in the other part of the world, Indonesians thinks ( not all though but possibly many of them? ), because they are living abroad, they starting to get really cocky, snotty, arrogant etc, blah they just need to remember where they are come from and get a life, really .
Anyways, enough rambling, now onto the piccies..........

Sad but true

2010-02-27T11:45:00.007Z

Every time I listen to this song I always can't help myself and start to cry... sad but true... seems like the whole lyrics is about me and my family... They really want me to come back home for good but I'm still here, trying to chase my dreams, my job etc. Ahhh, how I miss home.... =(

Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
That you've been gone

She said, some days I feel like shit
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit
I don't understand why you have to always be gone
I get along, but the trips always feel so long, and

I find myself tryin' to stay by the phone
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call
But when I pick up I don't have much to say, so

I want you to know it's a little fucked up
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin'
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here singing

Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Please come back home

You know the place where you used to live?
Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs
Used to have a little party every halloween with candy by the pile
But now, you only stop by every once in a while

Yeah, I find myself just fillin' my time
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind
I'm doin' fine, and I'm plannin' to keep it that way
You can call me if you find that you have somethin' to say

And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin'
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here singing

Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Please come back home

I want you to know it's a little messed up
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin'
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless

It seems one thing has been true all along
You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone
I guess I've had it with you and your career
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it

Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Where'd you go? I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
Please come back home

Please come back home...

OCC Lip tar

2010-02-24T20:11:00.008Z

This is what I've quoted from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics website about their liptar:

A stunning new innovation in lip color, OCC Lip Tar combines the longevity of a lipstick, with the ease of application of a gloss. Goes on slick and moist, and dries down to a satin finish. Ultra-saturated in color, OCC Lip Tar contains an unprecedented amount of pigment, so a little goes a very, very long way. An intense yet featherweight layer of color that stands up to the scrutiny of Hi-Def Video and Digital Photography, without ever looking (or feeling!) heavy. Meant to be mixed, OCC Lip Tars come in concise range of colors (and black and white!) for a limitless selection of shades made by you!

Like all of our products, OCC Lip Tar is 100% Vegan and Cruelty-Free, and is also free of parabens and other harsh preservatives. A simple, elegant formula that contains Hemp Oil, Peppermint Oil and Vitamin E, OCC Lip Tar feels as good on the lips as it looks!

The colour chart:

It's $12.50 each for a 8ml tube. And this stuff got a lot of good review, so I thought I have to try this! Got one in "melange" colour, and I'm lovin' it so far. The only down side is, it makes my lips feel dry? So I have to apply lipgloss on top of it, but overall, it's all gooooood =D

Here's me wearing OCC Lip tar in melange ( without the lipgloss on top of it ), took this picture before I'm off to work. lol

Life's been alright with me and Steven, oh and I went back to Jakarta, Indonesia last year to see my family and also we went to Singapore for a short holiday and meet some friends. Had a good time, and now we're back in the UK, with freezing cold weather... not happy!

Nars 9947 Holiday Pallet and Nars Dolcevita Lipgloss

2009-01-10T13:20:00.011Z

Recently I've seen fafinettex3 on youtube do a tutorial with this Nars 9947 Pallet, and I thought I'd get it. The problem is, this palette only available at Sephora, so since we don't have any Sephora in The UK, I had to buy this palette on E-Gay :p
I got them for £30 , and I also got Nars Lipgloss in Dolcevita as well.

The shadows are very pigmented and the colours are very pretty, I'm in love!!!
The colours are:

- Kilimanjaro I (Sort of white with yellow undertone?)
- Himalayas (White with purple/ pink undertone)
- Bohemian Gold II (Shimmery pink)
- Ondine (Shimmery Tan)
- Surabaya II (Deep rich brown with pink undertone)
- Night Flight (Deep midnight blue )

Swatches from left to right:
Kilimanjaro, Bohemian Gold II, Surabaya II, Himalayas, Ondine, Night Flight

And this the Swatch for Nars "Dolcevita" Lipgloss

NYX cosmetics

2009-01-03T09:40:00.011Z

I've got 2 parcels from the post this morning! I mean, yes really early in the morning! I was still asleep when the Postman rang the bell. But yayyy so excited to open them

I've opened the bigger box first as I was dead curious what's inside!

Yippieee they are My NYX goodies!! I had to order them online from fragrancedirect as I couldn't find them anywhere in the shops. Never tried them before though, but I heard quite a lots of good feedback about them so yeah I'm gonna give them a try and I'll give you the update later on =)

Their price is affordable! I only spent £24.93 for 7 items!!! Yes less than £25, Which I think it's quite good. Oh but I had to pay £1.95 on top of that for a 1st class mail delivery. Well still a bargain though.

Here they are:

NYX All over sun-kissed! Bronzer for face and body. Shade #2 (medium)
It's HUGE!!

NYX Diamond Sparkle Lipstick Sparkling Apricot (22)
NYX Diamond Sparkle Lipstick Sparkling Salmon (03)

NYX Diamond Sparkle Lip Gloss Beige Sparkle (11)
NYX Diamond Sparkle Lip Gloss Ginger Sparkle (07)
NYX Diamond Sparkle Lip Gloss Fuschia Sparkle (14)

NYX Goddess of The Night Lip Gloss Frosted Walnut (109)

I was going buy their eyeshadow collections but unfortunately they didn't have it on fragrancedirect website, so yeah have to look somewhere else I suppose.
That's pretty much everything from my first parcel box, and I will let you know what's in the 2nd box on my next blog as I still haven't took the pictures of them yet as my camera is dead and is charging now.
Can't wait to try them on today!

Have a fab weekend everyone
