There are things in life that we never expect to happen. There are things in life that we least expect to happen. Sometimes, our imaginations and dreams suddenly happen. Sometimes, we expect a lot that we end up disappointing ourselves for things we badly expected because we badly wanted those things to happen. Other times, we get used to a lifestyle that once it suddenly changes, we drastically lose ourselves in the process. Sometimes, we get close to people whom we first thought we'll never ever get close to. But we ended up opening up so much that we get overly attached to them. They become our go-to person, our human diary, and our home. None of us may realize it but one person changed the other in ways deeper than we can imagine. The impact is just surreal that we change for the better and we grow and mature because of them. And their validation is all that matters for who knows why.

Back when I was in college, I've given myself a timeline that when I reach the age of twenty five, I must be successful having this and that and doing this and that. Little did I know, the age I timelined myself was just the start of everything... or probably the peak of what I am about to become. To put this into context, along the way my plans effed up but they effed up properly because where I am right now is where I'm supposed to be.

Twenty five was definitely my year of knowing myself better and my year of pushing myself beyond my limits. It was a year of taking big leaps of faith and taking risks. It was a constant battle between my emotions too. I got my heart broken and experienced pain I never thought existed. I realized that I shouldn't be too dependent and too emotionally attached. I then realized how strong my faith to God is despite the pain because once I stopped contradicting His plans and once I started letting go and trusting Him no matter how difficult, everything got so much better and everything seemed to fall into place. It's really all about moving forward with Him by my side.

"I am going to make a very beautiful life for myself no matter what it takes." 

What a way to set the title of this post right? How I wish this isn't true but it is.

This is my story. Let's go deep and talk about my body.

Which girl doesn’t dream of finding the perfect summer dress? Brands such as Zara and Reformation bring every year exciting patterns and cuts to the market. Unfortunately, there is nothing more frustrating than finding the perfect dress and not being able to wear it because you don’t have the bra that goes with it. Of course, you could do like the model on the website and wear your light summer dress without a bra. But many women don’t feel confident enough about their breast. If you think the only way to get perky boobs is to wear a push-up bra, it’s time to consider a new approach to tame your sagging breasts. 

Picnic dates are always so romantic and lovely. I've always dreamed of going on a picnic (even on my own) and just spend time under the sun. I think this activity is so lovely and and fun to do.

Besides, I fantasize over Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette movie. I think that movie is so aesthetically pleasing and I just want to live in the vibe, really. And I've been fond of Marie Antoinette's lifestyle (since college in art history class) even though what she did wasn't really right. Like, c'mon. Who doesn't want to bathe in milk?

So if you're going on a picnic anytime soon, check out these outfits that I put together for inspirations or you can just purchase the items straight from de.zapaka.com as everything I included is from the brand.

I am a huge Audrey Hepburn fan and I've always been in awe of her fashion style. She's so classy and so beautiful and all the clothing pieces she wears become iconic! She's definitely someone I adore.

Having said that, I've been fond of vintage style dresses. I don't wear the style because I don't have any occasions or any chances to do so. But still, I think vintage party dresses sales are one for the books and dresssure.com does so well in the styles. Below are my top choices from the brand:
