Any Girl can set her Mind

Rainy day has been capably giving its anxiety to my circumstances, ah yes anxiety, the anxiety for a sense of being lazy, an emotionally thinking, a perfectly irrational minded, or even an unstably reaction in responding those much of particular things, so terrible, aren't they? So sorry if I'm making no sense but come on, it has been too long, bad weather is locked us inside. I do love rain, so effing much, but not the effect of its overloaded amount of water 'planking' on the every roads at the city. I'm getting tired and won't making any complain, but how dreadful it'll, my sympathy belongs to the people who is struggling for their life facing this flood and flood, in every year, ah Jakarta, I can only hope everything will get better very soon.

Okay, in case of making everything to be brighter, haha, I'll share one moment of happiness with friends, yes my lovely girl-friends. A short story, it has almost exactly 4 years for me and my girl-friends been together in college, but by the way, one of them, Amanda, was just recently graduated from college this week, she finally gets her Bachelor Degree of Arts! Yeay! So envy I maybe have to work very hard to go beyond her haha.

This was actually, we did a shoot, just to remember our togetherness as friend, to have a lovely photograph get printed then hang it on the wall, but well, I also take some of the photographs of my outfit during the shoot, because I think it'll be good to be posted here on the blog ;)

here they are, from left to right - Amanda, Prilly, Nissa (but we call her 'Arab' :p), Vanya, and Fimel. Ah I love these girls so much, thank you for being here there and around <3

 and here is the detail of my outfit:

Classy Hologram

Hello,
This is the time for outfit post again, so happy finally :)! A very cool-futuristic hologram clutch I got from Kayi, click here to see their collection! and anyway I'd like to say thank you so much because these have been the 2nd time they gave me very gorgeous gifts hehe. Well, for me clutch is always classy, but for the hologram one, it is kinda different. Then, I tried to create a mixing between classic and futuristic, through the whole outfit and the clutch itself. Something classy is always wonderful for me and that's what underlying the idea. So here we go!

There are many magical things happened these lately, and I thank God for putting a smile on my face always. Thank you for visiting! Good night!

Fashion Blogger Gathering by Galeries Lafayette and NYLON Indonesia

Good Morning!
May you all have a happy day at all :)

Today, I'd like to tell you a very exciting story I experienced on 24th & 25th September in Galeries Lafayette, Pacific Place, Jakarta. What was it? and How was it going? It was actually a pleasureable gathering along with the 20 Indonesian fashion bloggers who had been invited by NYLON and Galeries Lafayette to join the event.

But not only a gathering, the event also provided us a very exciting moment when in the 1st day of the event, we had to compete each other first, for a styling competition. The styling competition was separated into 4 groups which every each person in the group had to choose one of the three represented style themes, those are, Smokey Rock, Mixology, and Cocktail Time. I actually did not know how was it going on my mind, when Kak Vera from Galeries Lafayette asked me what kind of style I'd like to represent, and I was just suddenly said that I choosed the Smokey Rock theme, Lol. However, either it is based on my unconcious interest or not, something which is dark and bold are going to be my addiction in these current times. I know that I've just fallen too deep in pastel coloring, and to be something which is out of my range, is sometimes very exciting. Well, unfortunately I was not able to capture a lot of good pictures for the first day because I was very busy choosing the stuffs I need, but Galeries Lafayette is such a very heavenly shopping place where you can choose the beauty and/or fashion products you need, from the luxurious fashion couture till a high-street one.

The first group (Bethany Putri, Arnold, and me) that I choosed to join with was started the competition in 10 o'clock in the morning, I always prefer to work in morning rather than at any other times, but the traffic killed my time that I just came to the place when there was only a hour left, fyuh. And this is how I style for Smokey Rock, I mostly choosed Zadig & Voltaire from top, shirt, long dress, clucth and accessories, also white blazer from Maje and a pair of leather boots to make it complete.

The 2nd day of the event was held in the evening, and we were required to give  a 4 minute presentation about the concept of the style we created. I personally feel nervous and confuse at the same time, because I have to compete all the famous and great fashion blogger, furthermore because this competition was judged by NYLON's fashion and beauty editor, Anindya Devy, Mrs. Sarah Sugandy from Galeries Lafayette, and the editor in chief of NYLON Magz Indonesia was also here! Just like 'wow' but yet exciting! I hoped I can give my best presentation as well.

Here is one of my favorite idol, Kak Genu when he was doing his presentation, he is amazing!

Judging team : Sarah Sugandy & Anindya Devy

After the presentation session was over, we were pleased to relax our selfs, to taste some delicious foods and drinks and also took a lot of photos, yes we just had a great time there :). 

The BIG thing happened when the time for winner announcement came! I just still can't believe that the judging team took me as the 2nd winner of the competition! GOD, it was really a big surprise and a big present also for me! I just can't thank enough for everything, just thank you and thank you so much for NYLON and Galeries Lafayette! <3 <3. Another 2nd winner is Tara Amelz and the 1st winner is June Paski :D!

But for me, all of the styles are super stylish and it would be very hard for the judges to decide, because all the fashion bloggers were very talented, and that's why I just still can't believe that I won hehe. Just click here to see the detail news of the event.

After all, I'd like to say thank you once again, and I promise my self to study more and more to be better than before, thank you so much for the opportunity and thanks God for blessing me as always :)

Have a nice day

Kedai Cafe

This is another recomendation for you who lives in Jakarta, loves the vintage things and have no where to go, do your walks to Kedai Cafe, Kemang. You'll love the foods, the atmosphere and the song lists they play there. Unfortunately I didn't took any good picture of foods we ordered, but you'll have no doubt about the taste, they were good at all.

After Rain

Rain is something that we can feel. It is true and real. It is a symbol and a way of all the favors of earth which come from Him through the skies, but also it is often described as sadness and loneliness. For me rain is something that is obviously able to refresh our earth from all the bad deeds, and that's beautiful I think. Pictures below were taken just about in minutes after rain, one of them was captured by my mom. I am not gonna tell you what's the meaning of the numbers, try to figure it out by your self, and I hope you'll find it interesting.
