Cultural week

Throughout this entire week, my school have been celebrating the diversity of cultures in our school. There were activities for the 5 days, and on the last day, today, there was a cultural mufti and food stands from different countries.

I got henna done on a Tuesday I believe. I love it so much, a student actually drew this for me, she's so talented.

My cousin got me dollywink half way through the week! I feel so happy to own my first something Japanese, and something from the one and only Isubasa Masuwaka.

This was my participating outfit for today that won me best dress! My prize was a free movie ticket.
Infusing the modern(ish) Khmer clothes with a even more Euro feel. I didn't wear the dress shirt which was completely drowning in gems and opted for a lace singlet since I didn't have a lace shirt. The scarf is authentic Khmer though, you can just tell by looking at it, or maybe that's just Khmers. The badge is of our buddha, BUT *plot twiss*, it was bought from India, a family friend gifted it to us. The bangle and bracelet are actually Thai (bows down to other Khmers seeing this), but in retrospect, you'd have to admit both our jewellery wears are pretty similar (thank you to the Thai friend whom gave this to me years ago). The purpose of this event was about diversity and so I really, it's good that I mixed so much into this outfit.

  3. I had a henna tattoo done from the tip of my finger to my elbow whilst I was in Tanzania, it's so beautiful to watch them create such a lovely pattern free-handedly xx
