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. :)

The Black Chain

DIY top by me I have a story behind that shirt, and I'm going to tell you yeay:D The shirt was bought when I was in the middle school and it used for my orchestra performance. Initially, the shirt had sleeves, but I cutted it off a few years later because it wasn't comfort enough. Everytime I try to lift my hand it was hold me. I think there is something wrong with the stitching :( After that my mom bought me a sewing scissors and I try to make that shirt to be useful, and after I cutted it off, I'd like to wear it comfortably. You can do it at your home, but I have a recommendation not to do it in my home or use other people's clothes :D

I have been searching for necklace like that since a few months ago. Once, I found it at H&M but, however, very unfortunate, I didn't buy the necklace because of something (isn't it mysterious enough? Hahaha.) And then, once I was going shopping, and found the necklace similar with H&M, it's so much different but, like...one model, you know? -_- It's local designer by the way :D

Spring summer for NYFW 2013 I'm so sorry guys I'm so late with keeping my promise about New York Fashion Week 2013 small report. A few days ago I got sick because of my flank problem. I have a ulcer and I'd like to consume orange juice lately, so it hurts my flank. Beside that, I've been so busy about my school schedule, but it's okay right now, and I am ready to share a little news about New York Fashion Week 2013.
