Memoirs of Side Porch (in all-brandless look)

For you who looking for a girl with branded things, you can't find it here.

Shock, baby? hahaha wrote this coz someone ask me a question on twitter, asking that why I keep stating 'unbranded' in my look details. Well, I am not the one that against those luxury branded stuff, otherwise I adore them wholehearted. I want to have my own LV neverfull damier or drapery chiffon gown from Elie Saab.  It's just I can't push my parents to afford me that stuff. More shock? Yes, I know not everybody could admit like this publicly, some may said 'shame on her' to me. But that's the truth, I can't afford the original and I can't stand myself using the replica version of it. Therefore I go for something unbranded in RTW store, department store, or even local flea market. Why not? it's the style that I go for not the brand tag attached on it. So pardon me if I keep wearing my local-store or unbranded stuff as it goes as cool as the pricey one. If you find it no good, I don't find any problem if you decided to leave. Massive thanks to the attention given to this blog.

great photos by my beloved photographer man, memoirs of side porch, a cozy laid down dating time at my side porch. Decided to adopt Russell's look, the scout boy on UP movie.

Say It With Jewelry!!

If it comes to May then it's mommy's birthday to come. She would be 52 years old this year and it has been nearly two weeks for me getting confused about what present should I give to her. My mom is a jewelry addict, gold to be exact, she tends to buy a jewelry shop than a house if she gets any money hahaha. Every time we go to mall or shopping place and pass a jewelry shop, there is no doubt she would stop, stare, and enter. Her jewelry collection is far more beyond her shoes or bags collection.

This kinda addiction made me decided to give her some kind of jewelry. I know I can't afford to buy her gold, if there's any of those matched my budget it would be the simplest, not so dazzling one. The gold price nowadays is freakishly expensive.

Then comes an angel. No, I'm kidding. Sarah from LuShae Jewelry get me bumped into her website and guess what, their collection are pretty and dazzling. She offer me free gift that I can choose whatever I want and that super pretty piece would be sent to my house also for free. Hurraaahhh!!

I instantly fell in love with her ring, some of them are statement ring, collection. I suddenly forget my-mother-birthday-present thingy and only think about me me me hahaha. There are also series of PROMISE RINGS which fly me to any proposal imagination. *pssstt don't tell my boyfie*.  My personal choice fell on these marvelous piece.

Their collection are in gold and white gold material and sell for a quite affordable price. Interested, huh? for more of their marvelous ring collection, CLICK CLICK, BABY!!

Did I already tell you about my engagement imaginary when I saw their promise ring collection? Yes? No? whatevs, but it will make you dreamin fairy tale, honey. Imagining those pretty stuff lay perfectly on your finger. How can you say no to these, with an on-bended-knee-man of course

Then I remembered one word, MOM ahaahaha bad daughter.  So I decided to pass this sincere offering to be a beautiful present for my mom. I go for LuShae Pendant Collection, to avoid any mistaken size if I order rings. They are as pretty as their ring collection. After a long pick-and-drop moments, I finally choose . . .

Chelsea Leaf Desing Pendant

 

Isn't this piece of art pretty? About yesterday the package has arrived. It is as pretty as this catalog picture in real life. I really can't wait for May 21st to come and surprise mom with this pendants. Promise me to keep your mouth shut, okay? :D. And after all, I have to say "hugeee thaaanksss" to my dear Sarah from LuShae Jewelry. It really means a lot for me. I definitely gonna order again for these beautiful collection. I wish all the best to LuShae and keep on adding the catalog with more and more pretty stuff. 

 Much kisses also to everybody who has read this post, I really appreciate your time and it means a lot to me.

This week is my busiest week so far in 2010, I guess. There are lot of things happen and somehow it forced me to go out of house. The good part of this thing is that I have reason to dress up hahaha. And now as I got home and do some blogwalking, my eyes caught on Fika of Sweet Escape post about Heels Candies Giveaway held by Valerie of Marley&Me in collaboration with Valencia of Roll Up Your Sleeve.

Actually I already knew about this since earlier this months and I automatically falling in love with the purple boots of Francesca Mambrini I saw there. But since I didn't have the perfect outfit for that yet, I decided to keep it for later, and yes, I forgot about it until Fika blogged about it. Well, thank you so much for reminding, dear :D

I was clicking the link to Valerie's blog and my eyes got caught up on the purple boots for the very first time. And I just wanna scream (ok, not like that I'm over-reacted :D) when I remembered that my today's outfit is perfect for that. Woo hoo.

Army Green Top: A Store | Vintage Short: Ps. Senen

Shawl: Cotton Ink Lavender Krey  | Ethnic Bag: a gift from my grandma

I was already put down my shoes and my accesories exc my watch and my necklace when I read about this. Actually I'm so tired and just want do some random check on the internet before I go sleeping. But here I am ended up with fast photo-shoot, edit, email, and blog about it. Haha, I didn't know where the extra energy came from.

So, I guess that's it from today, I work too much today in campus, caught in a great debate on campus meeting, blab too much, laugh too much, think too much, and type too much hahaha. I'm super tired and will go asleep, luckily tomorrow is my resting day and I would be at home all day long *fiuhhhh*

So see you, guys, good night, sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite.
