Strong gusts of wind

The UK is receiving the tail end of Hurricane Katia and we have been experiencing extremely high winds. We had severe weather warnings yesterday, but they have cancelled it today because it seems to have died down a tiny bit.

Wind still seeps through the window borders and under the door making "Ooohh...ooohh" sounds and it does creep me out a little. I checked on the window in our bedroom and noticed that one of the hinges was broken/loose and I simply couldn't shut the window. I decided to wait until the boyf came home to have a look at it. However, when I checked on it a couple of minutes later, it was miraculously fixed! I'm trying not to think too much about it until the boyf and I investigate it later.




Everything I wore in this outfit has no brand name. I either got them off eBay, random online blogshops or from random shops in Malaysia. I do love this lace back blouse which is very similar to the Topshop one I wore here*click*, except this one's not Topshop and is black.




In other exciting news, I won a beauty giveaway! Yayyy! Sue at Tokki and Oliver organized a giveaway when her blog hit 50 followers and I was so happy when she announced that I had won!


When the parcel arrived, I couldn't wait to tear into the box. I loved how Sue took the time to pretty up the box. I thought it was incredibly sweet of her to decorate it. Even my boyfriend thought the butterflies were cute!

Thanks, Sue! I'm trying out the products one by one and loving them all!

  21. "However, when I checked on it a couple of minutes later, it was miraculously fixed!"
    EEK!!! What happened? Pls lemme know after you investigate.

    I like your outer drape. Hope you managed to keep safe. Which part of the UK are you residing? I'm heading to London in November!

    PS: I ran out to town to get the book yesterday. I paid only $4.20 for it
    since I used my vouchers. It's really a good buy! I was more of
    interested in the naming of the various styles of apparels and it was
    the most informative one I've ever come across. Thank you once again for
    featuring and recommending it on your blog.
