A collection of my mum's old perfume bottles that I keep in my room (too lazy to dust them off first - oops!), in the warm morning light.

Shadow Shot Sundays are fun. Go to Hey Harriet to find out more about it.

Have a happy weekend! x

Camera: wide lens SuperHeadz. Film: Fujifilm Fujicolor Superia 200.

Even more cloud watching, but lomo style this time! I love how these photos turned out, especially the colours. I think they're way better than the photoshopped digital photos before. Just another reason to love film.

P.S. Sorry if the photos still look a bit pixelated.

Whether it's the pussybow collar, flowers on the pockets, or ruffled sleeves... it's often the little details that make the outfit. These pieces from Sally Scott's 2010 Spring Collection capture those details very nicely.

A few film photos from the first days back in Jogja. Is it just me, or do the pictures look a little pixelated? If so, something might have happened when I resized them. Will have to fix that soon. *EDITED* ... better?

P.S. Thank you Katrina for the brilliant guest post and giveaway! I've really enjoyed reading all the responses to far. I'll choose the winner early next week, so you still have plenty of time to enter if you haven't :)

Hi everyone! My name is Katrina from Pugly Pixel. Anna graciously invited me to write a guest post while she's spending time with her family back home. Anna's one of my favorite bloggers of all time and I was thrilled to be asked to contribute.

As I was brainstorming the topic for my post, I was rocking my dog to sleep in my office chair (my Pomeranian is spoiled crazy) and that's when I noticed my collection of rare vintage sequins and then I thought: BINGO. Vintage sequins it is!

I have an extensive collection of rare vintage sequins that date back to the 1920's. Some of the sequins
were imported from Japan, some from France, others from Belgium. These vintage sequins represent an era forever gone.

I bought them a long time ago to make what I like to call, Dandelions. Dandelions are based on high density foam balls. Each stack of sequins is attached with a stainless steel pin capped by a bead.

Dandelions were fun to make but were extremely time-consuming and could take an entire day to complete. That's why I stopped making them.

These days, I like to use my sequins for far simpler projects. Sequins are fun to use as photo embellishments and as style props for photos, among other things.

I'd like to share some of my sequins with you! Leave a comment below and share with us what you love the most about Anna's blog, Much Love. A single winner will be chosen at random by Anna upon her return from Indonesia. The winner will receive all the sequins below + 3 bonus vintage sequin bags (all the sequins in the photograph are vintage except for the ones with polka dots).

Have fun! Thanks for having me here, Anna! :D

It was hard getting a good shot of that photo, especially with all the traffic around - but I just had to include a photo of that mural for a Much Love Monday installment.

I love: YK = Yogyakarta. I love this city. I love that it's a place that has shaped me to become who I am today. I love having amazing family and friends here. I love the memories. I love that people here are big grinners. I love the creativity on every corner. I love being here during Ramadan. I love the vibe. I love the amazing food. I love that everything is ridiculously cheap.

I just got my first roll of film developed during this trip, and I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow (for less than a third of the price I would pay in Australia ...Ridiculously cheap, I tell ya!). Fingers crossed that there'll be plenty of good photos that I can share on the blog this week!

I was impressed by the stacks of fabulous antique china at home, that I couldn't resist doing a little photoshoot with them. The shape of the teacups on the bowls in the first photo remind me of floral dresses. Don't you think? The cups are the tops and the bowls are the skirts! :)

All these used to belong to my great grandmother, and my dad inherited them long ago. My dad says that everything was extremely scarce during the war in Indonesia (during his grandmother's days), that dining sets like these were considered valuable. So that's why she included these kind of items as inheritance for her grandchildren. I love that we still use some of them today.

P.S. Apologies for my lack of blog hopping and commenting lately!
