First Dinner Party

My family and I have always love to entertain at home. Any excuse to have a party. Now that Him and I have our own place, somehow it became even more exciting of course. Planning the entire menu concept, the look of the party, the decorating, cooking and baking gave me such brain rush and I'll get giddy just thinking of it. To have a pretty looking dinner party doesn't always have to hurt your bank. Just rummage through and use the things lying around your home then throw them all together to give your party a little sumtin' sumtin' :)
And not forgetting one crucial element that never fail to work and work wonders, FLOWERS! I'd prefer fresh, but fake flowers gets the job done too! I always tell myself these few little words, they're not applied to just planning a dinner party, they're applied in other aspects in my life too.

"Little effort goes a long way, and they definitely shows that you care." :)

Butter Cookies a.k.a Samperit

It's that time of the year again!

I could smell Eid even when it's still days away.. Especially with the smell of fresh homemade cookies.. Made this Butter Cookies or as we Malaysian call it, Samperit. Searched around for few recipes and with that I made few modification following Aunty Rohaya's tips, and there I have, the creamiest & buttery cookies that just melt in your mouth. The pain I endured pressing the cookie dough doesn't seem so painful anymore, especially after I tasted these babies. And also, they're just the prettiest little thing. Need to make few more batches of these cookies for Mama. Let's hope they still taste the same by the 3rd,4th,5th batch :D

Happy Baking Ladies :)

Baby steps.

Yes. I'm Married.
Has been for 7 months or so. And it's been everything i hoped for and more.
:D

Being married has opened up countless possibilities and I've been blessed with a whole new light.
I've been lost and now i'm found.

Working from my very own home office has it's own advantages. Been busy studying, learning, researching, practising, designing and working my way to realize my dream and yet, still able to be the young homemaker i aspire to be. So yes, i've been busy but I'm good! :D Purchased a sewing machine months and picked up sewing, and i couldn't be happier. With that, everything else just comes rolling and falls into place. The saying, "Just do the things you love and you'll feel whole" couldn't be further from the truth.
Never understood the concept and now i do.

And now, baby steps, and eventually i'll get there.
This is my journey.

The Bridal Shower

My super sweet bridesmaids threw me a super lovely and intimate bridal shower last night. It was simple and classy. Soo soo happy.
Just how I pictured it would be.

To end my single hood with these girls i grew up with is a blessing.

Our tagline.

16 days. eek.

I should have been updated more but with all the moving and transition the camera cables and memory card reader seemed to have gone missing. Hence the lacking of progression updates. Even if I don't get to update the creative process pre wedding, will definitely do it post wedding. But anyhow, am gonna do my very best to tell the creative process as much as I could as I would prefer to tell all my stories through images rather than words..


Bunch of us came up with ideas and we delegated all of them. As there are no way I could execute them all by meeself. I learn to delegate, so yeay to me. The wedding is a team effort of all creative people in my life or as I call them, my loved ones.

All of whom which would make the wedding even more personal.

" So kick back your fanciest ballet flats,
and enjoy the day. "
-WHIMSIGIRL'S WEDDING TAGLINE-

The day I fell in love.

Ohh Happy Day ..

The dressmaker sketched and designed the most fabulous dress, at least to my eyes it is. The kind that defines who I am. The kind that makes me go to bed smiling knowingly that things are going to be ok. The kind that make the little girl inside of me scream of excitement. The kind that would make me twirl and prance with my boy oh so happily on our wedding day.

Lost in our little playground

Icons and pretty dresses

A girl can only be so happy when they look at these dresses.
But i am, more than you'll ever know.

These dresses by our favourite icons of all time provides me with so much inspiration on the dresses at the wedding,
mine and my beloved wedding people..
So pretty.. So happy..

Whimsigirl wishes she could wear them all
:D


With every essence of Audrey that is chic,

With a wee bit of Edie's edge



With a whole lot of Jackie's class,

With Mia's playfulness,

With Vera's elegance,

and

Grace's, ..



..I wishfully hope I would have the wedding dresses i dream off.
