Dark & Romantic

SPARKLE What is sparkle? Chain? What is a chain? Dark and Romantic? What is the connections between Sparkle, Chain, Dark and Romantic? Black and white are always a great combinations, we can wear white or black in every color we wear. Sparkle, you see the skirt I wear? That is sparkle. When the lights start to flashing the sparkle, it would be shine. That's the special thing about sparkle. The other thing that as beautiful as sparkle can we find in sequin. That is one of the most gorgeous material ever. Chain, usually chain point to metal rings that be connected one to the other one and become one and unity. You see the necklace I wear? That's chain. Chain can also used to the shoulder part of leather jacket, I would make a strong statement, or..we can put it into a long black classy dress. It would give accentuation clearly.

I have already tell you what is sparkle and chain. Both are great things, they have their own character and if we can combine it creatively, I think it would be a nice nice thing, like I said about white and black. I dream to be a designer, so here are the thing in my mind. Black is always beautiful, white is always bright and stunning. Sequin is always sparkling and shining, and chain is always strong. It would be such a amazing collaboration between them, than we can produce something dark and romantic to face this epic, tragic, and pathetic world. Actually I don't know what I'm saying, I just want to say that. :)

Jakarta Fashion Week - Day 3

Photograph by Bisma Syahputra

My first day in fashion week Hello! Jakarta Fashion Week has been started from 4 days ago, but finally I got a chance to visit that event. Jakarta fashion week 2014 started on October 19th until October 25th with a lot of designers from Indonesia. At that moment I was accompanied by one of my best friends (the one i've talked about her before:D) named Nabilla Nazihandari, my mum, my friend-the photographer at that day, and Fary Hendrayana. My friend who took these pictures is a beginner as a photographer. He wants to learn more about photography..so I gave him chances. I appreciate him because he wants to help me too, so this is very beneficial for both of us :) Fary Hendrayana is a great photographer from Jakarta, and I interest to work together with him. Yeah, next chapter kind a secret ;)

Jakarta Fashion Week has been followed by top Indonesian designers, such as Barli Asmara, Anne Avantie, Didiet Maulana, Lenny Agustin, Hartono Gan, Billy Tjong, Dian Pelangi, Misan, Edward Hutabarat, Tex Saverio and much much more. Fashion in Jakarta-Indonesia still shining with batik and other beautiful materials that you couldn't find the best of it anywhere in the whole world, except here. Also we have new designers such as Pevita Pearce, Luna Maya, etc. They are still young and fresh, bring their collections in to the market for all of the fashion lovers. For this fashion week, JFW took a theme "Bringing Indonesia to the World."

L'Arabian Rouge

Arabian Night A few weeks ago, one of my best-friends was celebrate her 18th birthday party and she took "Arabian Night" for the theme, especially the dress code. Her name is Nabilla Nazihandari and she is so kind and friendly, I bet you're going to love her at the first time you greet her. Because the theme is so hard, I spent 4 hours more to looked around the mall to find a perfect outfit to go to her party. Initially, I want to take batik but I couldn't find the perfect batik that match with the theme. But, when I went to Zara, finally I found it! It's perfect and match with the theme, so I bought it. :D But you know sometimes people have to think twice I buy something. This is happen to me, like always. The income is not enough to buy this buy that. This is very consumptive but come on! You know it so well how it feels :"D This is not really good for my savings so after this I am not going to spend...any...money...again.......for 2 weeks.

Before that, I want to tell you all, it's been a busy week, because Monday I will have a Mid Semester Examinations. So that is the reason why I'm not posting for...daySdaySdayS (very long time) ago. It will takes a-full-week and takes a lots of time to learn some subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. There are a lots of differences education system in Indonesia with the other countries, and a lots of us (students in here) complain about it -_- haha so wish me luck for the mid semester examinations! :)

La Pureté Bleu

As blue as sky I love my blue dress. It's bodycon but it doesn't hold me tightly, so it's very comfort. My mom bought it for me a year ago, I forgot where it is (of course I think I often forget some things, and I don't why -_-.) The dress is not expensive and very worthy. I can use that dress to go to the mall or a little party, and about the material, it's appropriate with the tropics, like Indonesia.

When my brother was taking the photos, I saw his watch and I asked him to borrow it for a while, then he gave his watch to me. Thank you bro, for lending me borrow yours ;) yay! After that we went to sushi restaurant. We have to queued the line. I don't want to go to another restaurant because it's my favorite one. Everytime I go to the mall, sushi-tei restaurant would be my first choice to get a food. Sushisushi :D

Common People Chapter 2

As I promised yesterday I am going to post my other photos. I wore my mom's blazer, I like the color and the pattern. Thank you to my mom for letting me borrow hers. But the size is too big to me so I didn't really wore it, and about the skirt, I bought it when I was in middle school. My middle school is located in Tebet, South Jakarta. The location of my middle school is very strategic because it's near with fashion stores, mini cinema, salon and spa, etc.

Actually I don't know what to say anymore-_- yeah because there is nothing too crucial to talked. Tomorrow I'm going to have a biology exam, oh my God I haven't study it yet. So let me finish this post then I'm going to study. About the Common People's interior it's going be posted tomorrow, okay? Wish me luck for tomorrow, yeay!

Ethnic theme for 2013 is the brand new beginning for today shoot. My brother, the one who took photos today is home! He studies in Bandung, (Bandung in one of the biggest city in Indonesia) arrived home yesterday. It's such a great opportunity to met him. Now, he is a freelance runner in my cousin's wedding organize as a photographer. He is very good in photograph and I asked him to shoot me because I need a photographer. It's difficult you know, find a photographer who clicks on you, but now he is on the process to learning about human interest photography and I hope he grows fast.
