Neither caramel brown nor black.

As you notice that the current season is Fall, shown in many stores displaying their Fall Collection. Actually here in Indonesia, we don't have Fall season, but what just happen right now is Rainy season. The similarity between both seasons are lower temperature and windy days. So I pick up some tips to keep neither warm nor fashionable at same time for Indonesians and other two seasons countries.

FALL ESSENTIALS:
  1. Wear Thick and Midi Apparels
    • First thing you should know is how your body feel to the temperatures around. If you think you'll get freezing, you should wearing thicker clothes and fully cover up your body like wearing long sweater, long pants, etc. But sometimes for whom wants to still look fashionable, choosing midi items is a good option. Whether it is a midi dress or midi skirt that paired with long top.
  2. Choose Neutral Colors; Black, Caramel, Brown, Cream, Grey
    • To keep yourself update with the current trends, opt the right colors of apparel is important. As you can see that many international brands choose neutral colors for their Fall collection. The colors itself represent the mother nature color when it comes to Fall. Opt for black, caramel, brown, cream and grey. White is also a neutral color, but it more represent Spring and Summer. So it's better to combine it with darker color rather than wearing top to toe in white only.
  3. Wear Booties or Pointy Shoes
    • From ankle boots to upper knee boots, will bring edgy look. But if you don't have any booties or even you're not like them, you can opt for pointy shoes. It's simple but bring more stylish effect than a pumps.
  4. Bring Jacket, Scarf, Pashmina
    • In case your apparels doesn't quite enough to keep you warn, you can bring jacket, scarf, and pashmina too. Opt for one of them or even combine them like wear a scarf inside a leather jacket without fasten the zipper until top.
  5. Prepare Folded Umbrella or Rainy Coat
    • Anticipate the sudden rain by preparing a folded umbrella and rainy coat, whatever you prefer. It's minimize the risk of getting wet.
And for me, I created this look by mix and match items on my closet. My dress is an A-line sleeveless midi dress in black, and I chose a pashmina to cover up my sleeves by tying it in front. The shoes is a pointy leopard heels from Christian Siriano while my sunnies is from Calvin Klein with dark brown lense.

Bond's Next Girl.

It's been quite so long for me not posting anything about daily look, except in my instagramI received this simple black t-shirt with some letters print from a local brand in Surabaya, the design, cutting, and it material really comfortable for daily look. It looked so casual, but I tried to pair it with wide leg pants for bringing an edgy yet glamour look. And I picked my nude court shoes, so the look is all in neutral colors top to toe.
By the way, I love my face on those photos, it glowing and a friend commented by saying I'm the next Bond's girl when I shared it on my instagram!

Kendall and Kylie Jenner for Topshop Holidays Collection 2015


Do you remember of two cute little girls who years back were coming up in TV serial titled Keeping Up with Kadarshian? They both are Kendall and Kylie Jenner, half-sister of the famous Kim Kadarshian from their mother Kris Jenner. Their father is Bruce Jenner who now a trans-woman named Caitlyn. Okay, we all knew that it is the kind of sad news, the couple were divorced. And as I follow watch this series since the early season, it's completely make me sad. Because I think that Bruce, now Caitlyn, is a good father for his blood-daughter also for his step childrens from Kris. But I prefer to discuss about these cute girls who now is turning into stunning ladies.

Topshop, one of fashion retailers worldwide, had made a collaboration with these Jenner sisters for their summer collection last June. And the collection was sold out fast. People really excited about those pieces also because of the figure of these Kim Kadarshian's youngest sisters. And still in same year, for this holidays collection, Topshop make collaboration again with these Jenner sisters.

Bottom : Kendall and Kylie with her dad, Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner.

This holidays collection was dominated with black color, knit, fur, leather, and abstract patterns to create an edgy look but also classy. From classic black mini dress with cut out at stomach area, to high neck black jumpsuit, to halter neck print dress with cut out, until combination leather jacket. Those items can resulting a look whatever you want according how you mix and match them. And for shoes, I think it is the season of booties, because it's fall season, and ballerine flat with strap to wrap your ankle. 

Lace up sweater dress, £55.

Cut out eyelet dress in print, £65.

Lace up bodysuit £40.

Silver leather skirt, £95.
Cut out high neck jumpsuit, £65.



The most popular sisters in social media because of their fashion sense is really suitable for Kendall and Kylie. Beside her daily style that has already captured by so many paparazzi, their natural talent in fashion industry is also great. And about the collection, have you visit the store to bring home several that match on your style?
