did you miss me? even after being back in jakarta for a few days, my mind is still wandering somewhere on a beach in thailand, where I spent 9 glorious days last week. 

white sand and turquoise water set the perfect backdrop for the bright color pops from tropical fish, exotic fruit, my neon bikini..?! keeping these gorgeous beach scenes in mind probably influenced my most recent purchase from KARE-Indo today… a giant-sized tangerine “ashtray,” how cute is that??

someday I might be able to afford its cousin… a real hermes version?

as you can see, one of my favorite color combination is turquoise-blue and orange.  2 weeks ago at INA-Craft I splurged on an amazing handmade batik in this color-combo.  Can’t decide how best to use the material though… dress? pillows? other? regardless, looking forward to enjoying this amazing pattern and colors for a long time!
