Countdown to Christmas Eve. Who's counting? Surrounded and fascinated by the brand new Alsatian style architectures at Farmhouse - Lembang, Bandung, me and my friend couldn't stop talking about our Christmas plans accompanied by the ambience of traditional European village. Surprisingly flaunted the same color pallette for outfits, proved that we're best friends for life and fashion, hahah! Me going edgy and Merry has always been one of the girliest friends I ever had. Went all out and wore a net cardigan and the sweet patterned, grungy-able skirt which have been my wardrobe essentials of this month - with a pair of wedge sneakers. Also added a signature of teashades and hat for extra doses of style.

The Sound of Silence

Sitting in a hut at a beautiful wilderness retreat where I came to renew my spirit. Think it's the right time to disconnect which is as necessary as connection for creating a healthy, happy life. In the middle of the week I followed my escape route to Tiger Island, located in Thousand Islands, Indonesia, as my ultimate retreat. Hectic and noisy days made me feel dazed, frazzled, and longing for silent solitude. So, it's the perfect time to save my sanity.

Totally dip into the boho chic style which is relaxing, light, and airy. To accentuate the look, I created a boho headpiece a night before my arrival. Another chain was from my DIY Traveler's Charm here.

Little Tiger The Guardian of The Island was too tired and took a nap by the sea.

 Just a little part of those gigantic, mesmerizing beauty of the underwater.

De Colores

De colores brillantes y finos se viste la aurora
De colores son los mil reflejos que el sol atesora
De colores se viste el diamante que vemos lucir
Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mí!

 I have an insatiable love for Mexican décor and ornaments, I consider that it's a bliss. Seeing its rich colors and patterns is just like feeding my hungry eyes that always long for vibrant, striking colors. Since I have a penchant for the bold, I'd say that it definitely has a pop and wow factor.  And Motel Mexicola is one of the impeccable embodiments; its use of exotic patterned tile, knick knacks, and wall décor in typical Mexican style.

Oh mama, I wanna stay here a little longer, please.

Water Castle

Like after countless times spending holidays in Yogyakarta, I could eventually visit Taman Sari! It was used as an open air bathing place for The Royal Family of Yogyakarta, built in the eighteenth century.

Loving the ambience here, so peaceful and relaxing when it's not too flooded by tourists. 

Had no mood for colors, I created this white-on-white ensemble with confidence. Also it was quite a relief that I didn't accidentally smudge it with any dirt, haha!

Philexico

Got an ethnic print dress from a friend who traveled The Philippines a few months ago. I love it so much! No need much effort to accessorize, I match the pink dress with a sombrero hat that was bought with no purpose at first. All I have to do is go to a nearest mexican restaurant in my town, Perky Pedro, for creating this post. Its decoration and murals are really nice I must say.
