Sun & Moon

"You lost her. And now she lights up the night-time sky for her new lover cause he recognized her as the moon. And you envy him. She could've been your moon, but you were too busy chasing the dimly lit stars" - Zienab Hamdan (Admit it, you messed up)

This Moment

"I've been running on, running on empty for way too many miles now"

Mark Twain said that the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. I guess for years, I only know one, the day I was born.

March - April Recap

These past couple of month were crazy! I got my dad's birthday on March, prom and national exam on April, and finally now we welcome May. It is always good look back a be grateful of what we've been through and what we've achieved, isn't it?

Paper Boats

"Love slowly. Don't love in an instance." - Perahu Kertas 2

There are times in this life when we rush into romance, but from this quote I learn to take one step at a time.

Pain and Pride

The juice worth the squeeze, that's what my friend said. It means nothing comes free in life, though some does.

Mistletoe

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

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..

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.

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

Second Chances

Just gotten back home from my Bali trip yesterday and had my flashback moments earlier this morning. I've been thinking about what happened in Bali, how I thought that accepting someone back into your love life after hurting you is a major mistake. I'm a believer of second chances, but I only give it away to those who deserve it. He's still as cold as ice, as silent as gold, though I know he's sorry. A part of me wants to keep waiting on someone, while on the hand I know someone else is waiting for me and maybe he will make me a better person.This confusion of whom to chose should end right away. D'accord? Bon!

Talking about believes, every time I'm not confident with what I wear, throwing a blazer on or wear a pinch of red is always right and complete my whole look. This I believe. In this shoot, I wore my initial blazer from Zara and voila, it added structure to my silhouette. Pour moi, structures, cuttings, shapes es tres important. Don't you think so?

What's important for your looks? What are your fashion believes? Do we have the same believes. I wonder.

Born To Win

It's been quite some time since my last outfit post. I've been busy working out, trying to lose weight, and getting ready for camp. Thankfully, I managed to make time for this amazing photo shoot before my departure at Kenichi's home with some other bloggers and am content with the result.

We had this tea party concept and had made me pose in a flirty scene with one of them, such a joke. Most of the pictures were taken candid and of course, it works! So, voila!

Tell Me When To Stop

As you all know, SurabayaVOGUE together with many other vendors are co-hosting CALAIS' Grand Opening and we, fashion bloggers, got this in return.

I'm so not a vintage lover, but I eventually found a way to keep the structure of the dress but put a taste of modern style to it. Merci beaucoup ORE!

Aphrodite Love

It sure has been awhile since the last time I posted something on this blog. I've been juggling school, extracurricular activities, and parties. Last weekend had its ups and downs. I went to another garage sale, but it wasn't as good as I expected, though it all paid off on the Sunday night. I partied hard with my school mates, entertained by my favorite DJ, after a week full of exams and assignments. It felt like redemption. On top of that, I won the title "best dress" of the night! Seems like the Fortuna was in my favor.

Remember my last post on pastel colors here, I finally knew what to wear after going through my closet. Screaming my love of sequins, I wore my ZARA sequin pink top paired with Guess sequin skirt.

Momentum

Earlier this morning I was having a physics test. It was on fluids, but then the thought on momentum came across. Theoretically, momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. Some interpret momentum as the timing of a significant change. For me, in fashion, momentum is knowing the right thing to wear, at the right time, in the right place, with the right person.

This shot reflects momentum the most for it needed the photographer's timing skill to capture my move. It sure looks simple, but I had to redo it over and over again.

I matched my tight Topshop leather pants with a loose snake skin print Mango top in order to create the balance between the two. The accessories were the star of the look, gold details sure caught the viewer's attention. Too bad these pictures are only available in black-white version.

Bisous!

Spring 2012 Style Guide

It's only two days away from Spring, are you ready to be seen? Here are some Spring 2012 Trend according to the experts :

1. Black and White

It seems like designers are going back to basic colors this season. The color black and white never get old and will survive all year long. Even though the color is safe, it doesn't mean that the designs are safe. Accents and signatures shall pop as the color toned down.

2. Pastel Colors

For the past few months pastel colored clothes have been filling my favorite shops, especially mint green. Seems like my mint green trend alert is right.

3. Floral Prints

It won't be spring without flowers and here goes the floral prints.

4. Asymmetries Cuttings

From one-shoulder tops to one-shoulder dresses to asymmetric skirts and dresses. Seems that the designers just can't get enough of this fabulous cutting.

5. Summer Suits

As much as we love Summer and thank GOD that I live in a tropical country, summer suits and short suits is totally perfect for this season's trend.

6. Pencil skirt

If you're a petite type of person, I personally suggest you not to wear one cause it will crop your height. On the other hand it will make you look slimmer somehow, so it's your choice. Save the height or save the size?

7. Peplums

I haven't been all over the world, but I've seen peplums everywhere. Trust me, when I say everywhere, it means everywhere.

8. Lace dress

Lace is a little bit tricky fabric to use. I once thought of using lace as the main fabric for my birthday dress, but I didn't find a way to make it look modern and young. Accents might be the key.

9. Ankle-Strap

New to heels? Buy ankle-strap sandals now! They are a mixture of safety, comfort, and style. These babies need to come to momma'!

10. Lucite heels

To be frank enough, I am so not a fan of lucite heels. It just doesn't last long enough as an item. The anxiety of having scratches bothers me way too much. But remember, fashion needs sacrifice and this fashion item is worth the fight!

There goes the top 10 Spring 2012 Style Guide, be gorgeous and spring the fashion in you!
