Reminiscenes Before Blogger .

check me out on chictopia and lookbook.nu ! vote for my looks :D

I thought that I'd share you some of my older photos today . I didn't have the right mood to edit all of the photos I took of yesterday's outfit . So i think it's better to save that for a better time :)

The photos below are some of my favorites taken waaayyyy before I started blogging. As you can tell, I have always been camera-friendly :)
All taken using Sony DSC T-100 pocket camera. unless otherwise stated :)

this is my absolute favorite . I didnt even intend to make the results end up like that . It was an 'happy mistake' as my GCSE art teacher would say it.

i miss my old wavy hair .

another favorite !

that's the title of my favorite song during that moment..


i love the black and white very much :D

with my dog Hugo when I just bought him :) isnt he cuteee ? taken from Mac Photo Booth..


Taken by my old mobile phone (Nokia N73 - first 3.2MP phone camera)

Remember those days when people had their versions of the 'See, Hear, and Speak No Evil' photos ? Well, here's my version :D

Don't ask me why i put that as the title . i just though that represents the first picture very much . I'm doing a quick post before I head out for dinner and/or movie tonight. I've been busy again lately even though im on holiday. I'm also busy prepping for the blog giveaway :)
I got out my ruffled knit sweater i got in Macau like 2 years ago . It's one of those pieces that you still love even years after purchasing it . the cut and color is very one of a kind .


i love it when my bangs are covering my eyes.


Sisley ruffled knit sweater, Bebe gray silk tank top, bejeweled statement necklace from Bebe, alice+olivia knit skirt jumper, Louis Vuitton cup postman bag, fringe wedges - 17th bday gift

love this pose . my forehead is sooooooooo damn high . my grandma says its 'good luck' forehead . duno if that's true .

i had real fun with these super close up photos angled from the top..

my assorted jewelry . my favorite ? the cross beaded one from Valencia at Roll Up Your Sleeves. It's a necklace but i like to wear it as a 'drop charm' bracelet. I've got another cross as my earrings too :)
studded band (DIY-ed), white band (gift from Valencia too!), flower ring (mom's), ring on right hand (left: from boyfriend - i wear this one everyday ! right: mood ring - wear it everyday too)


excuse my horrible face . this is the best photo for you to see the ruffled jacket .

YAY FINALLY WATCHED NEW MOON TODAY ! (as you can probably tell from my post title) Anyway, i thought the movie was better than twilight even though the romantic scenes were kinda cheesy. I loved Dakota Fanning very much. I thought she was excellent !

Oh and I met a fellow blogger, Venezia from The Wardrobeland, and we watched the movie together along with 2 other friends. I just wore something casual and comfy :)

KLE white asymetrical top, big heart necklace from Forever21, Zara leggings, Balenciaga bag, Juicy Couture multi charm necklace, Hermes white bangle, Gold layered bracelet from Roll Up Your Sleeve, Pedder Red flats.

I got this asymmetrical white shirt from Happy Go Lucky, Bandung. It's made by an Indonesian designer. The brand is KLE`. So far that shirt has been one of my favorite buys this whole year. The cutting is perfect. The asymmetrical details put a little bit of trend into the classic piece. While the billowing shape conceals my fat tummy :)

Ate at Avorio. I had salmon with olives on it . This is HIGHLY recommended. It's one of my favorite salmon dishes in Jakarta.

for desserts, froyo of course ! tried the new yogurt cafe called Icy Blue. I tried the blueberry and something twist one . It was really good ! and I had mango machi for the toppings . Best deal ? Free extra topping if you watched a movie at the cineplex !

blog giveaway will be posted soon . still doing a brainstorm of ideas for the giveaway . hope i'll come up with a good idea right on time .

Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down

please follow my blog if you love it . and I'll follow you back : D
find out what I'm up to during the day on my Twitter @glister_blistersooo its the holidays now . and im not really going anywhere . I just went to the autoshop to accompany my boyfriend to fix something in his car . Then we had lunch at a Dutch restaurant called Huize Trivelli (yes more bitterballens like the ones on yesterday's post!)..and I went home.

Here's what I wore . I had to take off the stockings throughout the day because it was like 38 degrees outside . and there weren't any AC at the autoshop . so yeah.. luckily the dress was very comfortable and breathable.. I finally got to wear my inVESTment piece also ! (click here for the blog post)

J.Crew double pocket dress, inVESTment piece scarf, Forever21 necklaces (one is from Roll Up Your Sleeve !), random bangles, unbranded tights, Louboutin pumps, Chanel tote bag.

this one above is my favorite picture .

And guess what ? Remember that package swap I had with Valencia from Roll Up Your Sleeves ? If you're a follower of her blog (visit her if you havent ! she's freakin awesome!) then you'll notice that I've sent her the exact tie dye inVESTment piece in a blue color :) last night we were emailing each other and she told me she was gonna wear the scarf while I was also planning to wear it today (i swear this wasn't planned !) So now, we decided to do a "collaboration post" . Here's madame Valencia's beautiful take on the inVESTment piece..

Here's the all sorts of ways you can wear your scarf : )

I also happen to stumble upon this article in ELLE (UK - Dec 2009). the article was also talking about how different people have different takes on scarfs. Quite a similar thing I was doing above eigh ?? ; ) the only difference is that they're using a Hermes scarf (one total splurge I'd die to have!) Check the article shots below ! Click on it to read the tips from each person..

I planned to watch new moon today since I've heard from some of my friends that New Moon will no longer be playing after today ! they said the 'special screening will be over'.. and New Moon will be played again next month.. sadly, i couldnt get anymore tickets . all sold out :( GOD KNOWS WHY !?! Indonesia is being so weird lately.. First it was things with 2012 . Now it's New Moon too ??!

And here's my delicious lunch pictures ! Also took pictures of the restaurant's interior because I thought it was beautiful . Feels like as if I'm eating ages ago when Indonesia was conquered by the Dutch.. Oh and the restaurant's name is Huize Trivelli. It's located at central jakarta, Cideng/Tanah Abang area.. You can call them at (62-21) 3865803 :) i highly recommend this place!

the overall restaurant interior

some antique furniture and vintage photos
Turns out the chef of this restaurant is a 'solo chef' meaning that he cooks everything by himself. Assistants only do the chopping, washing, etc. And the owner IS the chef ! how cool is that ?

my boyfriend's order : Beef Schnitzels

my order : Beef Steak with Mushroom Ragout.. Did I mention that they're potatoes are SO GOOD ??

A White upright piano as part of the interior and Klappertarts for dessert :) YUM !
