Underground plaid

As seen on my post a couple of weeks behind, Backstage : Karoon Indonesia at 1001 IDE, they showed their S/S 2014 collection MIXCON. The collection combine the local fabric and modern style. We can find midi skirt and crop top which both are trending just now. I was wearing their Polerung blouse matched with Polerung flare. Took these photos at the backstage, and since I'm very busy with school projects and some photo shoots, I don't have any time to take outfit post, so I think posting this one is enough for my absence. By the way, I like the background of those photos, and the lightning matched perfectly and gave great effect, even I didn't take it in serious shoot.

HIMATEKPAL : Naval Architecture ITS 109th Graduation Party

It was yesterday, a simple graduation party from HIMATEKPAL for the graduates. Even the electricity was out because something trouble with it network, but finally it went well. And people still enthusiastic about the celebration, even they were really uncomfortable with the heat, yes it was around 1 pm.

I was wearing my floral sleeveless dress paired with black blazer, and did my make up with my self! I never take any make up course, just do it when I was boring, and it's kind of refreshing. Because make up is another kind of art, like drawing your face. And so glad that the result of the smokey eyes is not that bad.

Souvenir for the graduates.

The performers, Adit and Demas.

Partner as the MC for the day, Rino.

One of Surabaya based local brands, Karoong Indonesia which focus on handmade clothing using local material, had joined an exhibition named 1001 IDE yesterday to perform their collections. The exhibition itself is for introduce people about many kinds work by the young generation. Not only clothing, there also artwork and some communities stand. The exhibition took place at Ciputra World Surabaya.

And I was joining the show too with my girl Raysa. About a week behind they asked me to join the show, and course I said yes. It was a great show, and made me in love more with tenun fabric. Their products has fine tailoring and course comfortable to wear.

There were four local designers who joined the show. So there were four sessions, and I walked for three of them. Backstage just so crowded because time run so fast, and we needed to change the clothes for the other session. But thanks God everything went well.

Could you being beautiful without happiness?

Seems that problems come directly to me everyday, and of course that I hate it. But the question is what kind of problems which really disturbing me recently? The answer is anything that make me away from blogging! I hate when I don't have free time to take some outfit photos, then the internet connection just trouble for few days, and course the academic factors. It's only a couple of weeks, but I don't know everything seems so complicated and harder. 

 I was sad, then the good news always comes along, something that could cheer me up more than the reason which made me felt sad. I wrote down, then erased it, because I realize past is a thing to forget and don't have to recall. Almost all the time when I look back -not only for memories, something bad just happen, like a traffic accident. 

I'm not a person with beautiful word on, but I try to. They say you need cleaning up your face, be healthy, and the hardest is be happy. Because happy is a feeling that sound simply but hard to reach. I always give thanks what God bring into my life, I know His planing something wonderful time forward.

Here it is, an outfit post. Put some black and white on me, a classic style. From floppy hat, v-neck sleeveless blouse, satin maxi skirt, and pump shoes. I don't know but these color dominating my commode.

V-neck blouse - ZARA

Floppy hat - Luna Maya for HARDWARE

Maxi skirt - Poise24

Court shoes - ZARA

Lime on February 14th

Very interesting chocolate packages are everywhere. The timepiece is ticking for the pink day, where people celebrate it for sharing their loves each other. It just such a symbolic day that people worldwide pick, even though there still hundred days to spread out the love. Yeah, we know that it comes really close, no longer that five days forward people!

We knows, from the youngest until old people celebrate this day 14th of February called Valentine day. I never really do some searching about the history, because in my opinion it's not that important enough, let just focus for making something special for people who mean to be in your life. They could be a best friends, teacher, family, or even your worst enemy. Because God told us to love each other, include the hatters. My fashion-blogger-friend said that let the hatters write what they want,say what they want, because they'll end up nowhere but their own hating.

Alright, for this year, I'm away with the color which show love and the symbol of the day, PINK! I decided to pick something  fresh, as the new color for this Spring. I visualized about a very wonderful time where the plants sprout out, the very fresh green nature after the winter. So that the reasons why I chose this Lime color. And just because I'm madly in love with this Lanvin x H&M necklace recently, and the Chinese New Year was just few days behind, I put this necklace for matching my mom sleeveless dress. I don't want this look just too mainstream, very Lady-like, then I took my silver GOSH wedges-sneakers for final touch. It giving a casual sense, resulting a combination of lady-like and boyish. For the make up, I didn't put the very bright or sparkle colors, just make it to natural.

And that's what I picked for this year Valentine advise. Now I realize that for a very meaningful day which have waiting for, don't always need something new, just glancing at your closet then use your creative brain, do mix&match, and walk in your runway. I've read a quote by Karl Lagerfeld about buying the things which can easily to mix&match. He's true.

Lanvin x H&M necklace - UNISOUQ

Lime sleeveless dres - mom

Wedges-sneakers - GOSH

NAVY ATTACK

Seems that this color really work to stole my heart! I have to calm my self from hunting a lot of navy apparels. Pick these photos from my looks for FASHIONISTAS January collection. And my advise is wear basic to welcome the spring! Put some colorful necklace such as famous J Crew recently, and choose flat shoes, then go a walk! By the way, don't you love this fuchsia flat shoes? This one is from a local brand collection, but you can easily shop them at Fashionistas. I love it too, but kind of shoes like them is not suitable enough with my personality and my daily style. I prefer wearing high heels or very simple flat. But this shoes perhaps is an exception.
