I Love Maxi Dress!

Recently, I've fallen in love with the maxi dresses. They are gorgeous fashion pieces that can cover everything from big butts to stomachs, to chunky legs. You can wear maxi dresses to the beach, formal parties, mall, dates and park. With the right accessories, you can go from sleek and classy to trendy and chic.
Here is my favorite pick from Forever 21. The Painted Floral Maxi Dress, flex your femme side with this gorgeous full-length maxi dress featuring a self-tie halter, ruched bust, smocked empire waist, and a lovely chiffon overskirt with opaque lining.

with this gorgeous maxi dress, you can match with boho style accessories.

Isn't it gorgeous with these accessories? However, if you are petite, you have to be careful with your selection of Maxi dress to avoid looking like a tent! To avoid looking like a tent, your petite shape needs a more structured dress, so try a maxi dress with a defined waist like for example empire waist, and if you need to minimize your tummy or the preggy look of an empire waist, wrap a basic belt instead. For some extra height, better wear pumps, wedges or high heeled sandals.


Celebrity style

Different Maxi dresses suit different kind of people, if you don't like or the painted floral maxi dress not suit you, never mind, here are some other options for you. All from forever 21.

My Favorite Tea House!

Today, I want to share with you my favorite tea house in Penang - Winter Warmer Cafe. Winter Warmers is located at the little corner lot next to Secret Recipe and opposite Coffee Bean in Gurney Plaza.

The reason I like this cafe is because their British style feel, the English decor of flowery table cloths, wallpapers and most of all is the lovely cup. Also, the pots of cold fruity teas and herbal teas make me fall in love with this cafe.

This is what I like, a pot of Iced Rose Tea. The quantity is more than enough for a person. Actually, it can be shared with two people. It costs RM 9.90/Pot.

Iced Rose Tea comes with this lovely glass.

My lunch, Mango Chicken with rice. I love the mango so much as it's very sweet! I also tried the Lavender salad, but it's just not my favorite, the Lavender taste is too strong for me. However, for those people who love Lavender smell then you should try it!

The service at Winter Warmer is good when there are not so many customers visit. I suggest you not go on Public Holiday. The reason I said that because it happened to me last time when I went there for high tea. It was public holiday. The service was bad, we had to wait for a long time to get our food and drink. Also, when we ordered iced / cold drink, it served with the plastic takeaway cup not the pot and the lovely glass (see my above photos). I was so disappointed about it!!!!!!!! :-(

This is the Rose green tea, when you order the tea in hot, it will serve with this British style flowery cup. They also have other variety cups which are available for customers to buy.

I think this is a good place to hang out with friends or family.:-)

Redang Island - Day 3

It's our last day in Redang, our flight was 16:15, so in order to catch the flight, we need to take the 12pm ferry from Redang to KT Jetty.

Hubby got up early to take the sunrise photo. but I think it's a little bit too late already as you can see in the photo. haha...He should have got up half an hour earlier.

Another sunrise photo, ai...It's pity that I was not there with him. I was sleeping and could not even wake up....haha.... Otherwise, it would have been an unforgettable mement if I walked with hubby holding hands in the beach. hehe.....

See, I was sleeping on the net. It's very comfortable. Really, I don't want to leave.....xixi...

Finally, we arrived at KT Jetty after 2 hours ferry from Redang. This is the ferry provided by our hotel. See the logo , Laguna Redang Island Resort(****Stars).

OK, journey ended. When would be my next? and Where?

Redang Island - Day 2: Snorkeling Trip

It was a wonderful experience for me! Honestly, this is my first time to go snorkeling. I was so excited about it, also, I was a little bit nervous too since I can not swim.
We got our masks and life jackets ready, at the beginning I was a bit scared to jump into the water, however, once I was into the water and saw such beautiful coral and fishes. I know it worth!
We spent most of time on snorkeling, morning part from 9:30am till 11:30am, then afternoon part from 3:00pm till 4:30pm. Although we were tired, we did enjoy it and had a good time under the water. hehe.........

Yeah! We are ready to go!

me and Katie

Underwater world! How amazing it is! There are so many fishes around me, I did try to touch them, however, I did not even touch one of them! :-( Perhaps they are afraid of me! haha

With hubby, kissing under the water!
