Here are some photos taken in Thailand. We stayed in Hatyai, Thailand, but spent a lot of time out and about on the outskirts of the city. It was really an eye opening experience. Most people living there have such a simple life and take it easy, one day at a time. And the Thai food was amazing, especially the seafood. My family and I stopped at a really good seafood restraunt right by the coast, that’s where the first photo was taken. There was a family living back in there right on the water! I was pretty much posing on their front porch. Very calm, beautiful scenery. We did some touristy stuff too of course, like visiting the Monkey’s Fun Park! I made sure I wasn’t the one holding our banana chips in fear of being attacked, the monkeys come so close to you! haha! Thailand is so different from Malaysia in so many ways. The food, the people, the language. I loved visiting Hatyai, and hope to visit Bangkok soon! Right now, I am back in Kuala Lumpur hitting up the hot spots! Next up on our itinerary: Bali and Singapore!!!

And yes, Dylana of Nana in Wonderland is my sister! lol We’re both traveling together. We took more photos recently together that I will post soon!

And here is an illustration of me by Marta Gustems, talented artist and blogger of Dibujogente. My friends were all so surprised at how well this illustration captures me. It also took me by surprise too when I saw it. Thank you Marta so much! Do visit her Boutique Suite store in Barcelona, Spain as well!

My stay in Penang was absolutely beautiful. We had amazing views of the ocean from our hotel room, and with the really warm weather, what more could you ask for? I think Penang might now be one of my favorite travel destinations. White sandy beaches and lots of great food down Gurney Drive. Australians and Brits definitely agree, they are all over the place here having a good time, but only now are Americans just beginning to come. Everyone was telling me to try the famous Asam Laksa in Penang and I have to say, it is SO yummy! I can really take spicy foods, but not as much as I used to. Growing up, I put chili on just about everything haha! I also really like the soy bean milk they serve there a lot! Plus, we had an awesome taxi driver, Ali, who would fetch us here, there, and everywhere, all whiling giving us lots of good information as well as making us laugh just about every five seconds!!But we’ve definitely had other few crazy taxi drivers which nearly scared the crap outta me. But but all in all, I had a safe and wonderful time in Penang. And like I said, very easy dressing. High waisted denim shorts and tanks are my new best friend. After Penang, I spent the last 2 days in Thailand! Took so many beautiful photos. Can’t wait to take a look at them later! But now, I am back in KL for a bit! :)))

Here are just a few shots from the Rebel Yell summer 2010 collection. All photos shot by photographer, Zoey Grossman!

I love the bright colors, hair flipping moves, and smokey eye makeup! We had the best time shooting in studio. I am lusting over the graphic tees, super soft hoodies and stacked on bracelets!
