My asymmetrical vest in Bangkok!

Last week just right before leaving Jakarta - Bangkok,

I scored these romanian architecture-like babies at an upholstery store while looking for sofa fabrics. Initially, I had all intention to make a pencil skirt out of it, but I don't have a sewing machine. And what's cooler and easier to make than a pencil skirt - a vest!

Instructions and pictorial below for the DIY steps.

Lets go!:

1. Buy a really nice fabric of your choice. 

2. The length and width could be of any measurement you like depending on how much drape you prefer. In this particular vest, it was a 1m(W) x 1.4m(L).

3. Measure your back [from pit to pit] 

4. Find the centre of the fabric vertically, measure out the length of your back, add 2cm of ease of each side.

5. From there, draw an approximately 15-20cm line on each side [depending on how big your arm-hole is]

6. Cut along the line

7. Voila~

Anyway, Bangkok was simply divine. 

I actually have not been there in a year and a half and it's silly of me to forget how much I actually miss that chaotic city. I'll have more posts up on the blog within these couple of days. Stay tune.

P.S. 

These pictures were taken in the beautiful hotel room that I stayed in. VIE Hotel. Splendid from the interior, to the location, facilities and service. Great price for a 5-star boutique hotel. Click here to check their webpage out.

Heading to Bangkok in a couple of hours time! Even though I have been to the city countless times, I still share a never ending fairy tale with it. It is a city that I can fall in love with all over again. The people, culture, and duh~ Shopping...

The party don't start till...

Apologies for neglecting this space. 

My friend, Fariz, from Singapore was in J-town this weekend. Which is why it was exhausting. 

Thank you for a wonderful time, beautiful people. Still recuperating. 

Bangkok this weekend. Exciting...

The perfect weekend getaway II

Quick post of my short but perfect getaway to Belitung over the weekend.

I departed from Jakarta via Sriwijaya Air and got there in less than an hour. 

Beautiful you say? One could also say its the Maldives of Asia. There are a total of 189 islands surrounding Belitung with beautiful crystal clear water covered in white sandy bay.These islands are definitely different from Bali, Lombok or Phuket. It isn't tourist infested. If you are travelling during the low peak season like I did, you might probably be the only ones in an island. Boats are easily for rental at affordable rates for island hopping. 

Check out this website for tour packages! You really should!

So, I was there for a photo shoot for one of my projects at work. 

I stayed at one of my company's hotel, Billiton Hotel and Klub. Pretty amazing with great food. 

Hardly got to take any outfit photos so these scenery ones will have to do (sorry!). 

All in all, it was the perfect getaway.
