The Necklace II

Do you like your name?

I like mine. I have four names. Given by different people.

But I like Shifa the most. That is because it was given by my mother.

I want people to know my name. Just like Andy.

This is Andy. 

 

Let us say hi to Andy.

Hi Andy...!!! :D

---------------------

Andy is not listening.

Lets say it loudly!

HI ANDY...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See, Andy heard you now. She smiles back.

She wants you to call her name loudly like that.

In fact, she loves it. That is the purpose of her necklace.

---------------------

I want a Shifa necklace too. So that you can call me and make me smile like Andy.

:D :D :D

YZ in LA

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I'm loving her style! I've been an avid follower of her since last year and this is yet HER BEST LOOK!

She could pull off this trend like no other! Yuna, if only I could wear those TURBAN like you!

I'm a fan of red lipstick and her full lips is just so PERFECT!

PERFECT!

Qi, you are such a lucky guy!

The Necklace

It has been a while since the blog was updated.

Such a lousy blogger I am.

A friend of mine said that the pictures in my post are too big (verbatim: gambar-gambar dalam blog you ni sebijik-sebijik la Shifa). I said, "Haha.. Like whatever.. Suka hati I la.."

He also said that they need to be edited. He then condemned me a bit too much on a lot of things that I challenged invited him to contribute a post for my blog (we'll just wait and see if he's going to take the challenge). Hihi

Hmm.. Then I think what he said is true. I begin to hate the sebijik-sebijik pictures. I'm no crafty artsy of all these things. I'm really new in this blogging world, I really depend a lot on the template and designs that are already provided here.

You know what, I actually have about 10 drafts that yet to be posted. Suddenly no mood la, idea stuck la, cannot find the right words la, yada yadi yadu yada lalala.

So many excuses, so little act. So me!

Anyway, back to the title of this post, I'm so obsessed with Sex and The City. Hence the Blog Title.

Sex and The City....

Some love its love quotes, others like the characters.

Some love its fashion and style, others like the storyline.

Some love Carrie with Mr. Big, others love her with Aidan.

An so on and so forth.

For me, I love the name plate necklace also nicknamed the "Carrie Necklace" that Carrie wore most of the time in the series, especially on her casual day.

This is what I meant by 'casual'

A close-up

Don't you just love it?!

I wish to have one. I love it because it feels very personal as it's made specially for you. Maybe I can have it in Arabic letter instead of the usual one? What say you? I don't know..

What I know is I will get it from 'someone' one day. Hihi..
 

And for those who prefer a 'statement' necklace and do not intend to have everybody to know your name, I would suggest a 'single-letter' necklace like this one................

Gold-letter pendant with teardrop pearl

Seems familiar?

You can have this if you prefer a 'smart-casual' looks like the adorable cutesy Betty

Cute huh? I was a bit sad when she turned into a beautiful 'swan' in her last season of Ugly Betty. I didn't want it to end!! I don't like the sophisticated new Betty who lives in London!!

Sex and The City vs Ugly Betty, which one is your favourite?

Von Java

One of my favourite movies is Bride Wars. Yes, what a typical girly girl I am.

----------------------

The movie start with the two main actresses childhood's scene.

Where as little girls, they already had imagined of what their dream wedding would look like and had a role-play of it.

Most of us I'm sure, had that kind of moment too as a kid. I myself like to play 'kahwin-kahwin' where I used to play the 'Mak Andam' role (I seldom play the bride because all the boys that I play with were not 'hot' enough). Ceh, kecik-kecik dah demand...

----------------------

To me, this is the idea of a dream wedding...

In which my husband-to-be would expose his 'nippie' to the guests.

For the very last time in his life. With flowers dangling from his ears.

With high-waisted sarong, matching gold bangles/belt and electric blue hat-thingy on his head.

The very last time in his entire life that he'll make me very very happy.

And the rest of the guests admiring his edginess.

He could show his muscle and that tanned skin of him which I adore and model every flowery aspects of the accessories to the public before he'll be totally mine.

A wedding to remember for all.

---------------------------

What the!?

Hehe, can what? (Bukannya aurat pun for the guys...)

Haha.. I'm just kidding. I want my grandparents live longer and meet their great-grandchildren.

---------------------------

Anyway, that's Dian Sastrowardoyo wedding picture where they wore those outfits for a ritual session I think. Sorry Dian, I made fun of Maulana. Hihi...

---------------------------

To those who didn't know, I am half Malaysian and half Indonesian. My maternal grandparents are from Central Java and my grandmother still live there.

And maybe because of that, I dream of having a traditional Javanese wedding since I was 5 years old.

Since 5 years old too, I want a Mat Salleh husband to cuddle with during my wedding photoshoot like this.

Hohoho... Anyway, black colours usually worn by the people of Central Java.

People from West Java (Bandung) and East Java (Surabaya) usually wear white.

Note: What a 'shy' couple they were, putting their hands on their lap like that. But they have their 'funny' Uncle behind them.

 ---------------------------

Just so you know, black-cum-velvet and white-cum-shy is no longer IN.

And for my Javanese Wedding inspiration, I would say that what these couples wear is traditionally trendy...

Bunga Citra Lestari & Ashraf Sinclair

Dian Sastrowardoyo & Maulana Indraguna Sutowo

Myra & Aizam ( Anna-Rina Photography )

Again, Dian & Maulana - This time decently covered.

(Notice that Dian have the same printed red fabric on her waist like in the 'kemban' picture)

 ---------------------------

Teheehee... And that was it for now. 

More entries to come... On how I aspire my dream wedding would be like and what inspire me. Till then ;)

Note to boyfie : Don't worry. You don't have to wear that brown 'skull cap' for my Javanese theme wedding. I allow you to put on the black songkok instead Sayang!
