31 DECEMBER

Turns out that my being-a-diligent-blogger plan didn't quite work as planned. With a signal just enough to Instagram / Whatsapp / download basic emails, I guess I was destined into a no gadget detox. I know, I can always head into a cafe and borrow their wifi (that's what I'm doing now!) but with so many things to do (..and munch on), topped off with the near-Jakarta-traffic in Bali.. I told myself that it's best to really wind down and simply enjoy the holidays.

THE GREAT GIFTS

my holidays have been blessed with a great amount of sleep and some of these goodies I'm showing you today ! Sometimes we forget that small meaningful goods can just mean as much as (or much better than..) big/expensive goods. I have always enjoyed that adrenaline when my friends/family buy me things that I've been wanting for ages, even if it's only a simple box of street vendor rice that you can only find in weird corners over Jakarta. That being said, I also tend to give late birthday presents to friends just because I felt it's better to search for the perfect suitable gift rather than just buying some random mug/shirt at the mall :) Christmas is coming up in about a month and I'm starting my gift shopping list already !

#MKTIMELESS

When it comes to timepieces, the more classic the better for me. Because, when it's simple and timeless, that watch can be worn with just about any outfit you pick, regardless of your age. When the Michael Kors team approached me to create a look based on their classic watch (that has been favored by a huge number of bloggers!), I agreed right away. I picked one of fall's favorite streetstyle trends, camo, for the theme of my outfit. and like I said before, because it's timeless, any trend will work with it.

Alice & Olivia Chunky Turtleneck
Tripp NYC Camo Skinny Jeans
Michael Kors Rosegold Watch

PINK BOXES

some wardrobe detox was what I exactly needed for the past months. Thanks to the ALLEY29 BAZAAR happening this weekend at Plaza Indonesia, I finally got the push to actually dig through those dusty corners of my room. for the moment, check out my *slight* updated blog shop here for some of the items up for sale !!

MIRROR MIRROR

tall pointed pump shoes and soil/grass are not good pals.. I had a real hard time trying to balance myself in these photos. Since I hard time balancing, I made sure that the photos were done in the shortest time possible and we did! Took about 5 - 10 minutes to complete ! I've been obsessed with mirror print pieces ever since I saw Stella McCartney's resort collection awhile ago so when I saw this tee at mango, I bought it straight..

ON THE PORCH

I always manage to find 'new' items whenever I tidy up my closet. Like these shorts for example. I planned on creating an all white look but these striped linen shorts from my trip to Australia yeeeeaaaarrrrsssssss ago showed up. I tried them and magically, I could still fit. Didn't feel like carrying a big bag or even wear heels during my busy week so I opted for a clutch and my new favorite flats.

PLUMSUIT

I just made up that title. Peplum + Playsuit = PLUMSUIT. I find that it sounds better than 'PeSuit' or 'PlayPlum' and so on. The fabric of the playsuit was pretty thick but good thing there was a 'ventilation slit' at the back. I wished that the rainy and windy season would come again so I could go back to layering...

YELLOW MELLOW

After 6 dry clean attempts from different dry cleaners across Jakarta, I successfully got rid of the funny smell that lingered on this supercalifragilisticexpialidocious vintage Valentino skirt. I bought the skirt in Milan last year at a vintage store that I forgot to jot down for a *possible* next visit. Brought it back to my hometown and got it shortened just above my knees. I think some girly mood struck me that morning when I put together this outfit...

FILTERING

I'm going to announce the ROMWE $80 Voucher giveaway on this post. If you entered, continue reading this post! Everything has been a roller coaster lately. last minute tasks, errands, opportunities, and so on. I haven't touched my computer for almost 48 hours (a big number for a blogger..) and I also haven't announced the Romwe giveaway winner since it was closed weeks ago. Here's what I've been up to lately...

TIMEKEEPERS

after the ring party, necklace party, arm party... now comes the watch party! Majority of the people in this world will think that you're nuts when you have two watches on one arm (especially when like me, both of the watches aren't set to the correct time). but hey, fashion does not always equal to function.

METALLIC CUFF

I've been in love with these gold cuffs ever since I first saw them on Tommy Ton's blog with those black Prada platforms. A month of two ago, Asos' iPad magazine featured these gold anklets. Sadly, it wasn't available at that time. I put those cuffs on my waitlist and yesterday, an email notification was sent that these gold charms are for sale ! Get your pair of these cuffs from ASOS before they sell out here!

White Lace and Denim

I made a visit to S.Oliver's corner at Metro Department Store at Gandaria City sometime last week. At first I wasn't very familiar with the German-originated brand but turns out I managed to snag a couple new pieces for my wardrobe ! I'm quite sure that this basic white shirt will be worn till it decays. and even so, I'll probably get another one to replace it. The cut is perfect and it's got the right amount of sheerness for the casual feel. I went for a summer-y look by wearing the shirt with white lace shorts from Club Couture and finished the look with a denim jacket..

I wish I can wear the hat out with this look.. My hats only come in use when I'm overseas (unfortunately...)




Other than this denim jacket, S.Oliver offers denim jeans in all sort of cuts (even boyfriend ones...) to suit your style.


my lips were THIS red because 1) I tried Benefit's benetint 2) I ate super-spicy noodles beforehand 3) Benefit + super-spicy noodles = about the same effect as MAC's Russian Red lipstick




somehow reminds me of Hermione's "extended" beaded pouch..except this one had a more rocker feel to it

Dreamy or Edgy

I guess most Indonesians are already aware of this competition hosted by METRO Department Store. But for those who don't, METRO is running two themes for their spring campaign: Delightfully Dreamy or Eclectically Edgy. All we have to do to participate is take as many pictures that match the theme and upload them to METRO's microsite here. If your looks amaze the judge and voters, you'll win IDR 3,000,000 worth of METRO voucher (pssst.. there's be THREE winners ! and all of them will win 3mill vouchers each !)

Here are some goodies I snapped at the deparment store that suits my taste AND both of the themes ! as many of you know, my style is naturally eclectic. So I guess the stuff below could be worn altogether by me !

those nude peep toes by Nine West are to die for.. Pink accents made it look young instead of too formal..
beautfiful fur vest and collar and agne. I'd pair this with a black tank and those Wimo peep toe oxfords and the BYSI high waist shorts below..

METRO also has a specialized jewelry store at Pondok Indah Mall I. *i forgot the name of the shop* It's on the second floor right next to Charles & Keith. They stock up nice vintage and ethnic style rings and bangles. My picks are these round ones and the giant silver wraparound below.
got the silver one and another oversize ring for myelf :) my coordinator, Welliem, was nice enough to offer me his staff discount facilities.
lovely draped piece my XSML .. I can totally wear this all summer long and even into the winter season as well.. not that I have any winter here..

faux leather jacket = key to the edgy look.
pops of coral adds a touch of feminism into the edgy looks. This Nine West oversize clutch has a sweet color with tought zipper details.

last but not least, I'm a fan of accessories. the heavily chained necklace on the left is by XSML and the chains on the right are attached to the shirt.

normal outfit posting resumes tommorow (if my time frame allows me..)
hope you all had a wonderful weekend !! dont forget to enter my tights giveaway and also keep voting for my l'oreal elseve review !

Almost Black

introducing you my Chanel-like stockings! only difference is that Chanel's criss-cross details are at the calves and mine are around my thighs.. anyhow, i still think they're pretty cute :)


Cotton Ink leather pocket tee, Warehouse blazer, unbranded lace skirt, unbranded stockings, unbranded necklaces, vintage belt, Prada bag, Pedder Red mesh ankle boots

i try to wear different bags, but this Prada one is always the one im carrying daily. its lightweight and i can stash all of my crap in it..





bow details at the back :)
been sporting this lace skirt under my not-long-enough-dresses for awhile.. i think im gonna go to the tailor and get them to make these in white, beige, and other neutrals..



not so comfy, but still one of my favorite shoes ever..

hello all :) excited to share these photos with you today :) it's one of my favorite outfits and photo sets so far! I tried playing with texture to keep the all black outfit from making me look like a daylight robber. I rarely wear all black, but that day was an exception. Had a group presentation in the afternoon and dresscode was black.. i WAS gonna wear black shoes and bag, but i felt too winter-ish for the super hot weather.. special thanks to ayu for taking these pics :)

last but not least, here's the winner of the Sex and the City Film Set Tour giveaway !

Congrats to Jen from Jennifhsieh :)
