PINK + AQUA

Blazer - Zara
Tee - Uniqlo
Dress (worn as skirt)
Boots - June+Julia vegan shoes

Not only summer but fall calls for a plethora of bright colors! Especially this season, with the color blocking trend taking over the fashion world by storm!
Nevertheless, there are a few fundamental rules to remember when attempting to pull of color blocking, like not overloading yourself with more than 3 bold colors in one outfit. We want to look fashionable, not clownish! LOL
Inspired by Japanese art books, I gave a shot at pairing pink with aquamarine, which I find to be quite a brilliant match. Since the upper part of the outfit is pretty “loud’, simply put on your favorite pair of black boots and drapped skirt (dress worn as skirt), and you’re good to go!

And for all you guys who ask about camera. I used Nikon D700 with 28-80 mm taken by my lovely and awesome photographer Nuri.

TOP - DIY (Huggrz boots wrap + Uniqlo turtleneck)
Jeans - Versace
Belt - Flea market (0.4$)
Pumps - June+Julia

THIS TOP is my latest DIY piece, with the arms made out of boots wrap (Huggrz). I simply sewed the ends of the boots wrap onto the upper arm of the turtleneck top. Frankly, this is the oddest DIY project I have done so far – I can’t even recall where and how I came up with this idea! So, what do you think? Yay or nay?

Knit Sweater - Gaudi
Skirt - Rosebud
Watch - DKNY

It’s official – I have caught the flouorescent fever too! Not many seem to be immune to it, either.
Flaunting my new sweater! I adore the bright color as it seems to be capable of making any complexion glow, paired with this lime pleated skirt -yes, it look like a skirt in Christoper Kane resort 2012- I got it only 20$ . Honestly, I am not much of a fan of the lime color but it seems like the whole neon fever has managed to take over my senses too!

CLEO FASHION AWARD

photo editing by me

THE OTHER event I was most looking forward to besides Dewi Fashion Knight.
This is where all
the young talented designers ‘butt heads’ (figuratively speaking, of course) to score
themselves a Cleo Fashion Award. I’m sure you guys want to find out who bagged
themselves the fancy award, right?
I found myself exceptionally liking the spectacle put on by Sisca Tjong. It was so very
beautiful and feminine, which makes her the very well-deserved recipient of the Best Young
Designer award. Her work is truly amazing!. But Sadly I can't take a photos to capture her show.
Congratulations to all the winners of Cleo Fashion Awards

NOKIA SHOW WITH YOSAFAT

photo editing by me

THE SECOND event that I attended was YOSAFAT, which had quite a contrasting, dark theme from that of Mimi Rue’s. The collection itself was hugely dominated by the color black. It was quite reminiscent of the Alexander Wang’s Spring 2012 and Givenchy’s Fall 2011, particularly their array of slacks with mesh/net pockets and the sheer sweaters, respectively. Best thing is, they all come with a more affordable price tag compared to that of Wang’s and Givenchy’s.
The shoes in particular that were paraded around in this show caught my attention; they’re extraordinarily high and so edgy! Having my Nokia N9 in tow during the show was really accommodating as I could see the fabric details very well as the models walked passed in front of me. Overall, it was certainly a riveting presentation.

MIMI RUE & JUNE+JULIA

THE LONG awaited show of the entire JFW! There was a point where I was worried I wouldn’t
make it since I got trapped in the midst of Jakarta’s awful traffic and even managed to get
lost! Special thanks from us to Luana for driving us. Eventually, after all the mishaps, we
made it to Pacific Place just in time for the show.
I am beyond thrilled that our vegan shoe label acted as sponsor to the Mimi Rue fashion
show by the very gifted Jeanette Anandjo. The range of our shoes that were used are the
Nikki Cork Wedges, Luna Wedges and Melissa Wedges. The theme to the show itself could
be described as ‘Paris in summer’, parading lots of bold, gleeful and feminine colors.
Congratulations on the fantastic fashion show, Jeanette!

JFW WITH DIY BLOUSE

Asymmetric Blouse - DIY
Blazer - ZARA
Pants- Versace Jeans (thrifted)
Glitter Boots - June+Julia
Cluth- Malca Indonesia
Watch - DKNY

LAST WEDNESDAY I was invited to attend Jakarta Fashion Week (JFW) at Pacific Place,
Jakarta. JFW this year is particularly memorable since June+Julia, my vegan shoe label, was
the sponsor for one of LaSalle College’s fashion show. Thank you Jeanette Anandjo for
making this happen and I wish you all the very best for your future endeavors with Mimi Rue!

Besides attending the LaSalle College show, I also had invitations to Yosafat and Cleo
Fashion Awards. Unfortunately, I was unable to make a presence at the JFW closing
spectacle, Dewi Fashion Knight, as I had to rush back to Bandung on Thursday to wrestle
with my thesis. I will put up the pictures to each event in my next post.

I am flaunting my latest DIY work – the asymmetric blouse. Inspired primarily by Celine Resort
2011 and Acne Spring 2012 collection, the emphasis is on the longer length of the shirt at
the back; evidently, Celine’s ‚mullet‛ look. Since I only bought myself 2 meters of fabric, I
failed at making it resemble that of Celine’s ‚mullet‛ look but managed to make the back
part long enough. So, what do you think? Hope you like my latest DIY project – more will be
coming soon! ;-)

PS: My apologies for the poor photo quality. My best friend, Julia is still a novice at handling
a DSLR camera (so am I!). Please do bear with us until we get more practice.

CASUAL SUNDAY

Sweater - Gaudi
Maxi pants - Rosebud
Turban - DIY
Sunglasses - Asos
Pumps - June+Julia

SUNDAY just so happens to be my favorite day. No classes, no work…it’s all about rest and relaxation, with the company of some nice tunes. Yeap, that sounds just perfect. ☺

Coincidentally, today I am listening to a band called Casual Sunday, a local act of the alternative pop genre, brought to my attention by my very own translator. ;) The band is comprised of three brothers – Chris (guitar and vocals), Andrew (bass and backing vocals) and Brian (drums). Last year, they earned themselves a spot in Java Rockin’ Land, one of Indonesia’s renowned festivals. I very much adore Chris’ voice and find their unpretentious lyrics to be relatable and quite ear-catching. My personal favorite tracks have to be “Wanted” and “Out of Time”.

Do check their Myspace and go get their record…you will love their music! They are also very engaging with their followers on Twitter and Facebook.

Support our local acts, today! ☺

Blouse cape - Panglook

Collar - Fevelle

Shoes - June+Julia
Cat eye sunglasses - Asos

COLLAR are my thing of the moment. This probably came about from my love for ladies blouses and collars can give a whole distinctive accentuation to them. In this particular post, I am wearing a cape modeled blouse backwards, where I have used the back part of the blouse as the façade with the button detailing. I think this is a pretty versatile way to maximize all your tops and a great opportunity to challenge yourselves fashion-wise in creating new, varied looks out of a single item of clothing. There are no boundaries to your creativity!
