I said "I do"

In this past couple of years many of my friends is either getting married or having kids. I guess we are in our 30’s and in that period of life where we should start a family of our own. I am very happy for all of them who settling down and especially one who found their true love.

My best friend is getting married on the 5^th of May, 2012 (AKA 2555 in Thai year) and I could not be any happier for them. Both future bride and groom are my friends for more than 10 years, one is annoying than another and one have been my BFF for as long as I know her. I did not really think I was able to be a cupid to any of my friends but I guess in this case I did. They fell in love and been together ever since. In this occasion I guess I could say it will be happily ever after for them. After all the smiles and the struggle they had been through, it is a great evident of their true love. I wish them nothing but happiness and love. Be patient to one another and remember all the understanding you both have been through. Love you guys!

I am so super excited for the wedding!! And we gonna fly home before and helping out with the event as much possible as we can. Thus I am half way around the world from my friends now I hope I do manage to help her out with whatever she need. So I become a little researcher with the wedding event. I spend some hours looking at the wedding dresses, the rings, bride mate dresses, theme, and etc. and I think at some point it scared my boyfriend.

Truth is I have always enjoying looking at other weddings, it is very inspiring moment of love! But when it comes to some of my closest friend who happens to be at the same age same circle I cannot help but think about my own future big day as well. I am not going to lie I dream away of that day as well but reality keep me to the ground and reminded me what is also important in order to have such dreamy come true. I have no doubt in our great love and our future together. In fact I already feel a little bit married already with all the “housewife” shores I love doing so much. This is our great commitment to each other and for me this is more than enough.

For my parent in the other hands especially brought up in the Thai culture ‘being married and wedding’ is ‘a commitment’. I totally understand where they are coming from as they do not get any younger and hoping to see me settle down before their end day. Deep down they just want me to be happy and knowing that someone will take care of me when they are gone. That is when a little fear crip in our thoughts a little bit. Hurr….

Let’s change to subject a little bit as it sound a little too serious now.

Even Blair Waldrof is getting married (On Mon 30^th 8/7c) ! Whether or not she go through with it or not (I hope she won’t let Chuck down), her dress is one of my favorite this year. Despite Kate Middelton’s last year. Of cause it could not be anything but Vera for the Hollywood but why not since she has done such a great job. A Grace Kelly’s inspired ivory sleeve three layer laced A-line flowy wedding gown is part of the 2010 Fall Bridal Collection and surly is one of a kind dress. (Blair wears it without the sleeve part). Ivanka Trump had it custom made for her wedding back in 2009.

What do you think? Do you like it or you have your other fabulous favorite? You are welcome to share ;)

Buying with good karma

Those of you who knows me would know I believe in good karma. And what is better than to get cute Marni for H&M t-shirt and donate part of the money to Japanese Red Cross Society. Lets just hope we all get in line before my good karma can be purchase. ;)

What comes along goes along.

Just recently I received a news, not a very good news unfortunately, from a friend of mine that her life is not working out as planed and that she will no longer stay in Sweden. I totally understand her situation but still at the same time I really do wish she would stay. I feel like it is such destiny for us both to meet. Some friends just ‘click’ in this spiritual indescribable way. I have a feeling we will be good friends and I very hate I could only do online friendship with her now.

That is the thing with destiny. I have always believed that things happen for reason. People meets, become friends, and even lover because of destiny. And when things happen in life though it was undeniable sad, I still believe it happens for reason. Usually those give reason in life for us to learn from and some time it also left us a scar. There is no value in life if you have not learnt anything from it. There is another thing I believe in. It will always be something greater once you truly live again.

Who knows where destiny will take you and maybe one day when you look back in the days you will understand the reason behind everything.

Be sad and cry if your heart needs to, but always remember tomorrow is another day. Time is always the answer to everything. And time will make me miss you.

X'mas after shock

God Jul !
Merry Christmas !

Old dress with DIY neck piece

I know it is a little late but I still feel that X'mas still in the air especially when I am still excited about the gifts. I am cozy under fluffy new blankie we got for julklappar. So happy!

I love X'mas not because of all the gifts. In fact it was a bit difficult to come up with the wish list. But I feel like it is the time when nothing else matter besies family. And how lucky I am to one cozy family in Sweden and one in Thailand. The gift is at least we can do to say "Thank you" for all the wonderful time we had this year and all for those you have been there for me. And I give thanks to all my good friends too. Without you, life would be hard.

New year to come and I hope I will always be surrounded by these people.

Collaboration Collection, opportunity or fall trap?

For many years now that mass brand like H&M or Target has taken an opportunity to collaborate with some of the famous designers, bloggers, or even a movie (TV) stars. Part of the game is for both end to get huge publicity and some turn over for the season ends. Sound like a nice plan right since everyone seems to be doing it. So what do we fashion victim get from all this besides ‘the high’ of our shopping spree.

Some are the collector. Well with that price and all those brands, it is very attractive to be honest. Some are dreamer. Some people would take a whole life to be able to afford a piece of the luxury brand. Some do it for the rush and addiction to ‘I gotta have it’ drug. Either way it is still an opportunity to some or a fall trap to others.

Just because they have a big name attaching to the tag doesn’t always mean it worth spending money. I am not saying no to some of the gorgeous worth queuing pieces but being a smart shopper know better than just to get a hand on anything or picking the one that scream ‘you’ and put down a good investment. Don’t fall for the trap either it is the price or the brand. Know yourself and your style, plan and think it over a little bit before you hit the queue next time. After all you got a chance to see the collection before the actual sales.

And just to kick you into another collaboration vibe, here is some of the Versace for H&M Spring collection. Is it just me or I would rather skip to Mar 8 and get excited on Marni instead?

Do it myself Project : Collar Embroidery Accessory

A While back I spot this very cute collar accessories at COS but at the time it just didn't scream loud enough for me to buy it. And for some reason it hits me me not so long ago and of course it is a bit too late. So I thought to myself why not do it myself and even more important I can customize as I wish.

First I gotta find the core part, the collar. Where though, should I bought some 2nd hand shirt and just use the collar or can I buy them separate somewhere. And then I think of my favorit place, Old Touch. As I went to ask the lady there she showed me a big basket full of collars, some with lace, some simple style. So I picked a few. There are about 20-40 Kr. each. There I was happy and can soon start my little project.

Others are easy. Just pick the beads that I like and some good quality thread. You wouldn't want it to break half way and you have to start over.

The results are great ! I am very happy with them and can not wait to wear them over the party that is coming up. And guess what it will be the only piece in the world.
