Piazza Italia Grand Opening

Sequin Queen is back! After almost a year off from blogging world, I thought my name has disappeared from the blogger world. However, it seems like it's my luck that a blogger friend of mine, Lauretha, recommended me to the it fashion store in town, Piazza Italia.

Years of Excellence

This post is a dedication to you all...

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?

March Events : Kate Spade & London Calling

Finally, the exam week is over! I finally get the chance update my blog again. So there were several fashion events I attended this month. They are Kate Spade Surabaya's grand opening and Sunday Market Surabaya : London Calling.

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.

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!

Sunshine Paradise

Readers! I'm back! Finally after an exhausting week at the camp, I lost my voice by the way, I am home and ready to party hard! Two days after my landing in Surabaya, Ore and SurabayaVogue are hosting Havaianas' launching party in Surabaya. They gifted us, bloggers, with pretty flip flops and requested our attendance at the party. Here's a sneak peak at our good times!

Calais are also co-hosting the party and they provided glasses of tropical punch, but there are also sodas, beer, and snacks.

I personally find this event's DJ pretty good, he managed to build the atmosphere and brought out the party spirit inside us.

In other words, I had a major fun time!

Bisous!

Bubble Party

Finally, the night of moustache and bubble had arrived! SurabayaVOGUE together with all the other vendors and of course, CALAiS are very grateful for the amazing grand opening! Our photobooth was a huge success and sure complimented the whole party.

Major thanks to Novi Elisa for the live artisan drawings! They're super hot! Here's a quick shot I took with her and Theresia.

I unexpectedly crashed with some of my friends and we realized there are so many stories that we need to catch up to.

Merci beaucoup Calais, ORE, Clementine, Lullaby, Surabaya Fashion Carnival, et cetera.
Je t'adore!
Bisous!
