Making Friend With Diamonds

Few weeks ago I had a privilege of visiting Orori Indonesia, a diamond and Jewelry 

Company in Jakarta, which I might say, the only one thus far who keeps up with the

current digital movement by selling diamonds online in Indonesia. In matter of fact, they

are actually the first jewelry shop who goes online in Indonesia. They offer FREE shipping

with insured package, and I think the best thing about them is that you can design your

own jewelry based on your budget preferences in their DMO (Design My Own) category.

Simply click the links to find out more. Or you can tell your friend who want to propose to

his gf to check them online (coz few are quite affordable for a diamond ring).


I've never been to such company before, but what I saw there was pretty cool as they have

their own diamond and jewelries designers. Yes, I saw few people designing the shape,

cutting, and the looks of the wedding rings! It's said that they have the newest technology

to create unique pieces with 3D printing.


Well actually, all that diamonds and stuff were never really my best friend (you know, they

say that diamonds are girl's best friend). Although I'm quite a big sucker for gold color

jewelries since I was a kid. Lol. My mom used to tease me that I look like Bu Haji (as they

usually have stacks of gold bangles and necklaces on their body).


Also if you're not familiar with diamonds like me, you can read and learn from their site as

they have complete articles and guides about diamond and jewelries. They have huge

database of articles that you can learn from and get jewelries' inspirations and advices.

Anywho, so I tried some while there and these are my best picks!

Until next post, toodles-doodles!

Summer Vibes

[ Bikis by DressLink ]

Ola hermosas!

Happy that Summer is here. Well I live in place where everyday every year is practically hot sizzling day, but the weather sure is nice around here these months too!

Ok, the greatest thing on being on blog sphere, is that you can find inspiration as well as good (and cheap) products recommendation, plus the real life experience of using the products. That inspiration to inspiring is the only reason I blog since the first place.

So on this post, I'd tell you few bikini set I love- that I wore on previous short beach getaway couples of weeks ago.

First one is from DressLink.com. They have quite a lot of bikini choices with super crazy affordable price! Head out to this link HERE to check out their swimwear collection. And don't worry, shipping to Indonesia start at only US$4 within only 2 weeks to be at your door!

Then the geodessic prints suits are actually my favo yoga set. They're lovechild of my indigenous girl slash designer, Kiran Jade, for her amazing brand WolvenThread. Great news, they offer only US$10 shipping fee to Indonesia!! I tell you it's all worth it! She designs all those amazing pieces by herself, and as fellow mother of hippie lovechild, you def should check their lovely web & collection (especially you boho souls out there!)

Speaking of which, I'll be releasing my new babies on my web tomorrow >> HEYLINF.COM << I've been handmaking the babies all holiday. Hope you'll love em.

Post more soon!

Until then, toodles-doodles!

Now now,

I’ve been writing my thoughts on this blog since 2010. Unlike other so-called fashion bloggers- though as you guys who’ve been reading past posts knew that I don’t see myself as fashion blogger and prefer personal-style blogger, or just blogger instead, coz since the very beginning I treat this blog sort of like a diary. The reason? Well let’s just say I have so many things going on this big head of mine. And for the last 26 years, I found out that not so much people would listen to one thing called explanation. Or let’s just say I barely meet someone who like to listen as much as they like to tell/speak. Me, on the other hand, like to explicate things on my head. And I always expect an argument- that is in a good way of course.

Until I met, my blog. ;p Well I sort of like believe that someone somehow somewhere, reading every word, thought, and story I shared on this blog, while i just keep the argument on my head. Or if they don’t exist, well anyway at least i’ve let and say it out.

See? Just for an intro took me so many words already!

Anyway, I wonder if music plays a big part of your life as it does to me. I really can’t go a day without any song/music on my ears. True life story. Guess it started out with my dad and granddad who has huge love for Jazz and Keroncong musics, and also audio stuffs. None of them play any instruments, but ever since I was very little I remember dad played so many songs on his tape, and every time I was home from school, I directly put dad’s laser disk and played Morris Albert’s Feelings. I was just 4 years old. Ma' said I really love to sing Inka Christie ft Amy Search song, Cinta Kita, every-damn-day when I was 3 yo... Lol. Some of you might think it’s lame, the song, but I still love it till now.

Hey that pointed out why I always have a thing for sad and tragic love songs! Been this way since little me. :D

On my junior and high school days, well, you know, everybody loved pop musics. Been switching crushes between each member of Westlife and Nsync. Tho I still listen to Jazz and Blues, coz of my Dad. To name a few, I played these music on my Walkman: Eagles, Earth Wind and Fire, BeeGees, MLTR, Simply Red, Siti Nurhaliza, Sheila on 7, Shaden, Dewa19, Padi,  Backstreet Boys, 98Degrees, and the list goes on you don’t wanna know.

Yes, my genre is quite random. Since my brother learned bass and electric guitar, I heard a lot of metal blues, and rock music. Till I randomly went with Dad and my brother to see John Myung solo concert here. That very night, I fell in love with Metal music. I was starting to listen to Slipknot, Avenged Seven Fold (by the way I went to their concert here, it was A-owesome!), Dream Theatre of course, Bullet For My Valentine, but my fave is A7X and Slipknot.

Ok to make it even weirder, my musical soul, I learned Classical piano for 4 years. Didn’t turned out well, I can only read, but can’t really play outside the book. During that learning time I listened to lot of Classical music, even till now sometimes I played Tchaikovsky on YouTube. This early year I bought an Uke, but also never can really swing it. :( 

Relapsing the time scene to present, and to cut to the chase, guess I’ve found my true soul in music, my love for Folks music. I don’t know where the hell I get to it if you read my A to Z list of fave music since i was little, but… yeah...

Putting a rank is unnecessary, so here are the list, in random, of my fave person, band, group, duo, gang, or just musics that I really really love which you HAVE TO, once more, HAAAAAAVE TO! search on YouTube/Soundscloud/anywhere you like:

• Devendra Banhart (first timer I suggest you go for Baby, LISTEN HERE )

• Vance Joy (first timer: Riptide, LISTEN HERE )

• Kodaline (try One Day HERE )

• Hozier (try Take Me To Church, Someone New, and Cherry Wine HERE )

Hey you guys!

Hm. So I've been caught up with this hatred toward people who steals one's idea. Now that I know those hatred won't do me any good, so here I am trying to release it out by sharing this with you.

It's r-e-a-l-l-y sucks if someone 'steals' your opportunity. It sucks because you realised you're so stupid that you let other people own that opportunity which initially, supposedly to be yours at the first place. You either act so slow, so lazy, or just having lack of eagerness to earn that opportunity. I'm talking about idea, creation, and any such that comes from your brain here- not the situation/condition types of opportunity.

Well, we all should know this. WE ARE ALL A THIEF OF OUR OWN. There's no new things going on this earth, and we surely just go on and remaking things that has or already exist before. Then there's no such thing called genuine, you may ask? Oh hell sure there is! The ingenuity comes from how you 'tweak' things when you're trying to replicate things existed before & make it your own, and how it may seems different and new even though, once again, it actually have been existed before. See, the 'how' involving your brain to think of what to re-create, instead of just rawly duplicating other's ideas.

Some people, sadly, are lazy enough to think more about how to tweak and make something seemingly new out of what's actually an existed idea, and that makes them... simply a followers. And to me, those kind of people is just an ankle biter. :)

I've once read, REPLICATE, NOT DUPLICATE. I couldn't agree more on that.

I honestly don't think I've said enough what's on my mind about this, but I should stop it right here before you guys un-following me and stop reading this blog coz I talk (or write) to much. ;p

Oh and I wonder what do you guys think about this (not the outfit this time). Please do comment below if you don't mind. :))

Anyway, gotta tell you this, I have dozens of dress craving in ZALORA.co.id ! You guys should go thru their new arrivals, KEI&KORI and EZRA are my favo!!

Until next post, toodles-doodles!

I'd say, every piece of clothing you're having and wearing is an investment of your lifetime. It's the little thing that most people, most of the time, tend to disregard but has huge role in placing where you are in life. Someone wise said those to me once, and couldn't agree beyond more on that.
