Sunkissed

Ola hermosa!

Writers block jammin' again this time, so this is just my easy daily pull-off. I'm currently in love with tie dye stuffs and all the beach bums ready-to-wear, also, my current skin tan. :p Guess summer comes a little too early in my closet.

Anywho, I happen to LOVE this pair of sandals made by my designer friend Audrey Giovenda. She has her own label and def an instant love with this monochrome sandals. One super comfortable sandals is a must-have this spring/summer, I guess. ;)

Until next post, toodles-doodles!

Hey you all

I'm blogging from my parents' house today. It's been a long while since the last time I went visit them. And yes, when you're 20 something and you're currently busy working and chasing your dream, family seems get left behind. Particularly when you're not at the same roof with them.

But I'm not gonna complaining and excusing myself out of these. I'm so so dang happy with what God has been giving to my life recently. I've been doing some photo shoots and interviews for magazine features, not to mention more sponsorship programs for my blog, and when I thought it couldn't get any better, I've received an invitation to be a Fashion Jury for an event by Cita Cinta Magazine on Jakarta Fashion Week 2013 next Saturday! God is so good!

Read my interview with CITACINTA.COM here.

So for all of your guys who decided to go for the first day of JFW 2013, next Saturday 19 October '13, come by the main atrium at Senayan City Mall and check out the 12 beauty and fashion make-overs by Cita Cinta. I'd love to have couples of Hi's and Hello's from you guys.

And, if you guys are looking for a girly or a chic outfit to pull of for next JFW event, check out this brand, LOUSHKii,  where you will find lovely pieces with amazing fitting! They're almost everywhere now, from online to the malls, it's an easy access to buy their collection. Here's their Twitter account if you're wondering about their offline stores: @LOUSHKIIdotcom.

Your love and support to this blog means effing BIG to me! Couldn't thank God enough for you. :)

Until next post, toodles-doodles!

Cropped Sister

Ahoy there!

Guess I'm crawling back down from the 'lousy blogger' status, since I posted more frequent now. ;p 

So God is so good to me- as He always been since I first breathing. There're just  too many great things came in my life recently. I've got a new promotion at work, new friends- lots of them, new wonderful partner in love, new sponsors for the blog, new magazine features, and just when I thought that's enough, I got the chance to be involved in to a Christian music-video production where I was asked to be their stylist. It was a wonderful experience with them and just cannot wait to share the mv with you guys once it's released!

Moving on to my outfit, as what's this personal style blog about, latterly I just so crazily, stupidly in love with cropped top- and just about anything cropped for my top! ;D You guys would probably realized that already from my previous posts that I've been wearing lots of them. And to tell you the truth, I've been piling quite a lot more on my closet. So as I dropped into this one new local label, leonyevelyn, I fell in love quite instantly with their cropped corduroy floral blazer! Well to say that cropped blazer kinda hard to pulled off to most outfits, I'm not necessarily agree. I think it goes well with maxi dresses, and perhaps like my outfit, 'cropped-on-cropped' might be another options. For more subsided look, unlike me, you could hid your belly-button by wearing high-waisted skirt or pants or short and still showing just a little bit of skin around your upper tummy with that cropped-on-cropped ensemble. Maybe I could show you some DIY looks with this cropped blazer/top on another outfit post, you know… just another ideas to pull of cropped outfit. ;)

I've been wearing this cropped corduroy floral blazer quite a lot. I mean, the fact that my fave fabric on my fave type of outfit, just literally a giant love for me. It kinda rounded up my style pretty much: corduroy for the ultimate retro vibes, florals for my hippy entities, and most importantly, black for my grunge compulsion. My admiration goes to the designer, Evelyn, behind the label for making that piece definitely with love. For you who love girly-fitted dresses, tops, and outers with unique twist on it, just click over their site HERE and buy some looks!

Oh also, this is the first ever feature post on my blog! ;D Meet this unique-styled girl, whom I met through blogging, Iness of aiiness.com. We kinda made a sudden appointment for an outfit shoot together, and without any arrangement before, we both wearing florals and cropped top! How crazy is that coincidence?! Lol. Go to her blog right away to check out what she wore. And trillion thanks to my yakuza-looking dude / colleague, William Permana, who spared his Sunday time with me and Iness. Ps: Check out his fashion snap-shots on his tumblr, hampirvampir.

Aaand, last but not least, I (or we) got featured home page on Chictopia yesterday for this outfit under Cropped Tops section! ;D Oh, so happy! Thanks to leonyevelyn for this sponsored outfit-post!

Until next post, toodles-doodles!

Ola beautiful people!!

I got a haircut last weekend, whereafter I had a nice family time back in my hometown. It's been a while since my last visit to my parents house, and I kinda missed my dogs and places I usually took my self outfit photos. So there I was, having a little picnic and a sisters bonding time in one fine afternoon. I just made the garlands for my new upcoming collection in Woodland Faerie around noon and decided to wear one. Ps: you can now order this baby by sending me an email. :)

Speaking about my hair. What do you think, guys? I have this huge crush over Zooey Deschanel on New Girl series, and that includes her outfit and her hair. So I decided to have a full blunt bangs, which I think kinda creates a retro looks on me, while next week I'm planning to re-curl my hair up. I case ya'll doesn't know, my natural hair is pretty thick and straight. I've been permanently curling my hair every year since high school.

Then back again to the picnic land that afternoon with my sister. We were self-amusing our self by watching an old (we're guessing) and super long earthworm crossing the road from one side to the other. Too bad we forgot to snap a picture of the earthworm with our camera. :( But, I did took some shots of my sister and her outfit in our little picnic land. Oh, and I just love her glasses. in fact, I bought it from Bershka just before I went to my parents house, but since I was in hurry I didn't try it on properly. My face is just too big for them! Argh! What a shame. So, I gave it to her instead. :)

To close this week's post, I'd love to share you couple of inspiration. So I've made this illustration  for Mei's blog of Girl with Plastic Camera out of her photo, whereas I had the opportunity to took part in her blog project. So happy that she love my hand-drawn illustration. Yay!

The second inspiration came from this MEGA AH-MAZING band called Walk Off The Earth (WOTE and the Beard Guy)! I love the originality of their ideas and how they interpret their creativity in a simplest way that people usually never think of. Go watch and subs right away fellas!

At the very very last, I would want to say something to all the underdogs wherever you are (and that including myself). Upon my days I witnesses that there are more and more people who are and who will underestimating you. Trying to run to other people, even the parents, is just as worthless and disappointing as saying 'I can' to those people who underestimating you. Yet you know what? Run to God is another way around. I had a pretty rough days to start the week, and people, whoever they are, are just big disappointment. So if I can say a bit advise as your friend, when things get bad, try to shut your mouth, share is to no one, and pray inside your heart. I bet no matter how short your prayer is, He listens. Then before you know it, things will get better eventually. :) After praying, thing I loves to do after is blogging. And here I am, smiling and cheered up to receive your meaningful support to this blog. I'm also happy to tell you that I've been featured as Stylist of the Week by StyleSays. If you're a self-claimed stylist, like me, you will love this fashion site. Plus it's a great great way to promote ourself! So click the link without a doubt guys! ;)
