Half the time as I was watching Sex And The City 2 with the girls, I was taking down mental notes. Notes for my future apartment. From chandeliers and couches, to wallpapers and walk-in-closets, I must have coveted about a million things (clothes and shoes not included) by the time the movie ended. It was like watching Elle Decor come to life, and developing plenty of furniture lust as a result.

Take this blue couch and coffee table for instance:

The marriage of contemporary (couch) and vintage (table) is at its best here, and the coffee table just grows on you. Then, there’s this headboard and those curtains:

I have a soft spot for grand, upholstered headboards and dark, heavy curtains. They just evoke a certain sense of luxury and is perfect backdrop for a rainy evening. Then of course, there’s The Closet:

Seriously? There are NO WORDS.

It was also nice to see Carrie’s old apartment, which as we all remember from the previous film, was gorgeous:

When I grow up, I also want a space like that. Yes, down to those floral chairs. But maybe not the blue walls, especially if the space isn’t as open. Then again, they do add to the mood…

Alas, the sad realisation that I was still living with my parents at 27 (as much as it’s highly normal/common in Asian culture) brought me back down to earth and while I love my room in all its refurbished glory, I really can’t wait to style my own apartment. And I know a couple of girls who will agree with me.

Ahhh, wedding blogs. They’re my new favourite thing. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not itching to get married or anything. I’m simply loving the photography that’s featured in them. While I appreciate the people shots that really capture the precious moments, it’s the event styling shots that have caught my eye. They’re amazing! So many of them are whimsical, vintage-inspired, and just too gorgeous for words. It’s kinda making me regret not getting myself into a profession that is more aesthetically pleasing. What can I say? I like pretty things.

Here are some of my favourites from Style Me Pretty. You can check out my Tumblr to see the rest.

I can’t wait to have my own place, so I can have a kitchen like this:

Have a lounge area like this:

Possibly have a bathroom like this:

And crawl into a bed that looks like this:

Wishful, much?
