These photos were actually from our second wedding anniversary. I donned my skirt from my Out of The Woods collection with Sea-Citizen.com with a plain basic white blouse and printed shawl which was a gift from my mother.

We celebrated our anniversary at The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur where my grandfather was having his birthday getaway. It wouldn't seem like a getaway considering it was in KL not more than 15 minutes from my place but it felt like it! Who knew you can have getaways without actually getting away!

When my brother got married, he took a week off going around meeting all our relatives. It's a Malay tradition which is to introduce the partner to one's family. So one of his relatives that had the pleasure of being treated was me and the Husband! Haha.

I just realised I haven't blogged about their wedding! I will get to that soon, now that finals are over and I have until February before the next (and my FINAL) semester starts.

Anyway, Amirah (Dr. Tengku Nurul Amirah) had heard about the Orchid Conservatory in Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur awhile back and thought of bringing me here since I have expressed ideas on blogging about a series of Tea Time Places. They have brought me to other places as well but we never took proper photos being the gluttonous persons we are. We always forget to take pictures of the food until we ate a portion!

Taylor Swift just released her Out Of The Woods video moments ago and I couldn't help realising that the concept was very similar to a shoot I had for my collaborative collection with Sea-Citizen.com called Out of The Woods and Into The Sun. 

You can read about the first collection here: STYLEBYSYA for SEA-CITIZEN.COM A/W '15: OUT OF THE WOODS where I talked about my inspiration and shared photos from the editorial shoot with Langston Hues. However, I will be preserving Into The Sun for S/S '16. So wait for it!

The shoot in which I will be talking about today was a collaborative shoot with budding photographer MD Alif and MUA Aen Sa'ari as well as fellow fashion blogger Serene from www.playfulandsnazzy.com

OUT OF THE WOODS is a collection of vibrant coloured box-pleated maxi skirts which are reimagined from Parisian pastures in Autumn. Nature is an endless inspiration. For this collaborative collection, I was inspired by the breath-taking hues of nature. The golden leaves in autumn. The green grass. The red flowers.

At a glance, the collection reminds me of all the dark woods within most fairytales. I've received comments from colleagues and friends that have different interpretations from the skirts such as Alice in Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, Cinderella as she runs from the prince at midnight, Belle from Beauty and The Beast, Maleficent and so many more!
