Mum's Memories

So I was scrolling through some 70's inspired looks, vintage accessories and the sort. It then reminded me of Mum's old scrapbook. She keep these pictures that she got from friends back when she started working and I love to look at them occasionally.


When you open the scrapbook, this is the first thing you see. And the two couples you see here were drawn on, by whom Mom can't remember but its drawn really well. Remind me of those old retro movies.


Most of her pictures were of her colleagues and that were a lot of photos of guys in the album than girls. Most picture also have there own captions by them. Its really quirky and this was when Mom was rocking the straight bangs look and was a natural in front of the camera.


Here is a photo of Mum and colleagues. Most of the picture of her have her wearing really nice dresses or high-waisted skirts with cute blouses. Some totally look vintage and I wish I could have some of them. In those day, Mum had those dresses tailored as it was the cheapest to get clothes. Mum and I sometimes share similar taste in clothes so seeing how she dress then really made her one of my fashion inspirations. This was them hanging around at Prince Philip Park.



Candid Mom!


Mom looks kinda whimsical here.


This is my favorite picture out of the scrapbook and I like the caption to it too. Can you spot Mom?



There are also some pictures of relatives and family. 


And ending this post with this picture! Sorry if there not that clear, I tried to take a better picture and this was the best. Till the next one!

Tune Favourites

Hey guys. Just a quick correction from my previous post, its not mist, its a haze. Thanks to my ever loving brother for pointing it out. If there is something wrong with my post for me to check out, really feel free to comment on it! So as I said, lately its been a very laidback weather here and these are the songs that carried me through it. I might not be able to list all but just click here and you can find the rest on my SoundCloud. It's been awhile since the last Tune Favourite  and that means I've been listening a ton. 1. "Here" by Alessia Cara (Lucian Remix) This has been basically the soundtrack for my August and even now I can't but be so floored by this singer's voice. I discovered her from a youtuber I follow and never regretted the decision to subscribe to her Vevo channel. While the original is the stuff, I love how it was remix here and every decision made to create it is so spot on. Do check out her other singles like "I&#

Newness

  For those new to my blog, hi and thanks for stumbling here (whether accidentally or not I am grateful). If you generally want to know me, check out my profile so you know what you're in for. For those who knew about this blog, if you haven't noticed, I've made a few changes and this post entails the reason. I'm finishing high school and to be honest, I have no plans on my education past that but we'll eventually have to. However, I decided to take up on writing more despite the on coming responsibilities. I plan to write reviews, expressing my thoughts on  books and movie and the like. Post some outfits as well, just need to work on being able to pose head to toe whenever and wherever I can. So there's thing in my head that will be published in the future and so with that in mind, I decided to change the name (yes *Douglas, I can see you your smug smirk), look and give it slightly more clarity as to what I will post and what are they all about.

Into The Woods

  Happy Belated New Year! I'm back in Seattle from Oregon, Portland, with so much to say and stories to share but just to attempt to start my blogging streak, here is my review on the recent movie of the musical "Into The Woods". Note: I'm no expert on movies, I consider myself kinda easy to amuse despite my habit of checking rotten tomato critics. And yes there are spoilers. Onto the review! Its about a 2 hour long movie but for a total movie and musical fan like me, it was worth it. Watching it with my cousin who is also a musical lover like me at Cedar Hill's Theatre was a thrilling and wonderful experience. The prologue starts with an introduction to the main fairytale cast, narrated by the character, The Baker, himself. Based off Brother Grimm stories which haven't quite been commonly known among society, it takes you to another altered dimension from the mainstream and happier version of the classic stories we grew up knowing.
