Inspiration {Style and Beauty}

I simply adore her sense of style and beauty, always colourful, exciting, vibrant and exuberant. She is none other than Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper Vintage. Most of her pictures are very beautifully shot and taken. I believe visual tells a great deal, with the advent of picture sharing platform like instagram, pinterest, lookbook, and so many more, almost everyone has the desire to share their piece of the world. I am but just a lover of all things beautiful, I prefer to be the one behind the lens instead, to capture that shot. No matter what we do, keep the beautiful dreams alive and be happy always.

Contrasting Elements

I now know very well that I am a person of mixed elements. I love the clashing of things and the contrasting notion of different elements together - I love the fact that two or even a few of opposing elements can co-exist and still create something new and refreshing - the old and the new, the modern and the classic, the smooth and the textured, the bright and darkness, the wide open space versus the small little creative space of existence, the structured versus the free flow of forms and lines. I guess I want it all. I love to know that I have the choice to choose, or to be different. I wish to see creativity comes to life. Life is so much more than just exclusively black or white xoxo

Dream: {Friday Blues}

Been trying to learn to take life a little slower, each breath, each moment spent on work, each sleep, all need to be slower, longer...am having the Friday blues, feel like things start to get slower, yet faster at the same time...been having headaches and eyes pain on and off lately, signs of going too fast? Really feel like having a nice relaxing sleep, or maybe just a warm massage? Happy weekend xoxo

Inspiration: {All The Space and Sunshine}

Have you ever wondered what you would do if you have all the space in the world? Would we be filling it up with things we love, surround it with memories and favourites, or would we just leave the space to speak for itself, and let it just interact with the outer even more bigger space, the nature itself? I often wonder what my space would look like, if I ever had this big of a space...would I put in a grand piano and play till my heart's content, as and when I feel like it, or would I stack all my favourite magazines up and fill the air with thoughts of sweet dreams? Could it be a space for me and my loved ones to gather together and have a great meal? Maybe it is everything and nothing fancy at all...If only I could have the luxury to have such a space, it need not be huge, but all it needs is to have a character, and to tell a story I wish to tell...wouldn't it be magical? Happy happier Saturday!

Inspiration: {Movements and Mood}

I came across a few really interesting ad campaigns in my backdated (as usual) issue of Harper's Bazaar. Intrigued by how movements and mood evoke a certain feeling, I have decided to play around with the visuals a little to see what else I can come up with...how things can look different with a little change in colour and texture, here and there...don't we just love her red lips! Gorgeous...that's why life is beautiful with different shades of red lipsticks, can never get enough of them:)

My favourite blogger is working her signature charm again...I simply love these two recent pictures from her...look at those lightings and cribbling...isn't the red clutch quirky?

Inspiration: {Beyond Dreaming}

Capturing that very essence of an object of desire, could not have been possible if not for an important tool - the camera. These are two of my favourite objects of late (the camera aside) is a ring from Topshop. The calling of Sweet Dreams from the pillow menu of Double Tree Hilton KL is the perfect timing for the night. It was never intentional, I was just playing with the possibilities of how image can be captured, eventually manipulated and represented in different ways and manner. For me, it is the fun and thrill of just experimenting. Love to see what more I can do in the future...Loving something can only mean taking it slow and letting it evolve as we go along, and may it present itself the best it could.

Inspiration: Great Discoveries

The rest via Anna Malmberg's photography

Stumbled upon Anna Malmberg's photography through one of my favourite sites, deco8. Lots of lovely posts I absolutely adore on deco8, she has such sense of style and artistic eyes and hands for things and creations in life. I am really in love with some of the shots taken by Anna, a Swedish photographer based in Paris. More of her work can be seen here. Very refreshing indeed. I have come to realize, no matter what you do, in order to be the best, you need to carve a certain character and personality out of the work you do or produce. I guess this is what in film we called the Auteur. You are, ultimately, your own greatest creation. To find your own true voice in life, is the most rewarding part of rediscovering yourself. {I am, still, searching for mine}

Inspiration: The Lightness of Opulence

I have always thought that chandelier is something of a luxury spending, a little OTT to light up a space, and look too lavish. But since I came across these pictures, I had a shift of mindset. Chandelier, if done well, can be very uplifting, it gives the space its richness without being too affluent if they are paired down with a few simple main furniture and fixtures. Of course, it will look fantastic for dinners with family and friends for that special occasion, like Christmas and Chinese New Year. Who wouldn't like all things beautiful in life?
