New Spirit, New Hope

Oooh la la..2013 is here! Time flies way too fast, I didn't even realize today is the last day of 2012. I just can't believe my sweet 17th birthday party was 10 months ago, preparing for it felt like a month ago. This is crazy!!

Mistletoe

Christmas is finally here. It is the best time of the year. The time when there's so much cheer and love.

Almost Christmas

Are you as excited as I am about Christmas? Well, this excitement just couldn't wait any longer. I have to post this winter look taken with my favorite blogger long known friend...

Trend Alert : Sequins

"Shine bright like a diamond" that's my favorite line from Rihanna's latest hit single "Diamonds". Well, the very good news is that sequined clothes are currently the must have item and believe me, the sequin queen is more than happy to make a review on it.

Between Raindrops

Bonjour my beloved readers! It's been awhile since the last time I made an outfit post and finally the wait is over.

I don't know why, but I feel that December is the most romantic month of the year. Was it because the rainy season? Or was it because of the memories I had? If you allow me, I'd like to share a piece of my past stories with you..

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012/2013 Part 2

Since there's so much detail I'd love to share, I divided the post in two sections. I hope you don't mind.

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012/2013 Part 1

Finally, the biggest and the most anticipated fashion show of the year was broad casted live on CBS! This year's VSFS is celebrating its 10th anniversary partnership with Swarovski. As you all expected, the runway was filled with more than 1 million Swarovski pieces throughout the collection. Are you ready for the touch of glitters and sexiness?

AMA 2012

The annual American Music Awards was held on November 18, 2012 at Nokia Theatre. The best thing about music events is that it could never left fashion behind. Celebrities prepared their best looks with their favorite designers and here's my favorite looks.

L'Invitation Au Voyage

My love of Louis Vuitton has been the public secret since years ago. I am more than excited to update you with the latest LV television campaign entitled L'Invitation Au Voyage.

Originalité

You might have noticed that I've worn the exact same look here. Well, you're right. I'm not a fan of repetition, but the condition forced me to. During LaSalle's graduation fashion show, a pair of reporters came to me and asked me whether I would like an interview on my look of the day or not. I agreed and told them the reason why I wore those pieces. They took pictures and promised that they would contact me as soon as the article is published.

AMICA Fashion Festival

As one of the greatest entertainment destination in Surabaya, Grand City Mall celebrated its second birthday last week and collaborated with a local fashion magazine, Amica, to do a fashion festival. The four days event was filled with a number of make up demos and fashion show by both local and international designers.

The fashion festival was open for public, but with a little connection, I got to sit front row with my friends on the third day. There was LT Pro make up demo, Roxy, Alleira Batik, and Caroline Kosasih. Seems like fortuna was in favor of me, I won the lucky door prize at the end of the show! Super lucky!

Since I got the official invitation for the closing ceremony by (X)S.M.L, my friends and I attended the show. Then somehow the event organizer led my friends and I to a seat right next to Amica's editor in chief, Miranti M. Lemy, and Grand City's CEO, Sim Tang Wang! We had sushi, wine, and great sets of collections by Marks&Spencer and (X)S.M.L. Overall, it was a great night.

Thanks to (X)S.M.L, Amica, Grand City, Ivana Novelin, and my friends who accompanied me! Cheers!

Essence de L'audace

Essence de L'audace simply means the essence of being bold. Seven young designers who had just graduated from La Salle College Surabaya were pushed to their limit to present bold and out-of-the-box designs in all themes, crossing boundaries. From rodeo, kids, futuristic, to wedding.

Some works were on display in mannequins right in front of the entrance gate, together with some photographs and booths.

The young and talented designers were also given the chance to display their own designs in the themes they personally chose. My friends and I were fans of Gabriel Soegiyono's creations. He rose the theme of Spanish beauty which was stunning and the composure of every aspect in his show was very balanced.

The others rose the theme of architectures, Japanese kimono, skulls, and many more.

All fun and joy credits to my beloved friends : Lukas, Jochris, Feli, Ken, Kezia, Lauretha. Thanks to them, watching this show was such an unforgettable experience.

Bisous!

Lessons Learned

As a social creature, human will never stop learning. Each and every day of their life teaches one at least an important lesson. This September sure is a month to remember and is a wake up call for me.

I've been hurt, disappointed, reproved, and awaken by all the things that had taken place this month. There's a meaningful lesson behind each event and those are to treasure. I had my ups and downs, but I shall never run. Face it gallantly and you'll surely make it through, that's what's important.

Consequently, I now know where I stand. I know my capability, my status, and my character. I made my mistakes and I've also hurt. Therefore, I'd like to ask an apology from all of you whom I've hurt. Je suis desole pour mes fautes.

Bisous!

Stilrod

Are you a fan of unique cafes and currently living in Surabaya? Then Stilrod Cafe is definitely a recommended place to chillax. I'm currently a fan of its margarita and drinks, especially the mocktail sunrise and blackforest. Someone reminded me of how much fat it had, but I didn't care. It was too good to miss.

Visited the place a few of weeks ago with SbyVogue and I finally met the legendary local blogger and broadcaster, Lauretha. She's such a friendly person and her style is undeniably picturesque. Meeting her was such an honor.

Dashed to the cafe right after my class photo shoot, I chose something simple and comfortable to wear. All those exhaustion faded away as I met my close friends in SbyVogue. They're such a joy.

Any recommended spot for us to hangout? Don't hesitate to tweet, chat, or comment on this blog <3
Bisous!
