One Fine Afternoon

I did this quick photoshoot with my brother last week when he came home to celebrate dad's birthday. Sorry it took me so long to publish the photos due to the hectic-ness I had while preparing for my school's annual expo & competition last Friday & Saturday X_X. Thankfully the event was successful and the weather was bright and so sunny! Imagine how awful it'd be if it were raining!

I don't know why but I'm quite addicted with red lipstick. I used to hateee it so much. But after my fav make up artist did my make up for my presweet17 shoot last April, I just fell in love with red lipstick!! This time I borrowed my mom's Dior lipstick. I wrote this post at 11pm , so I can't tell you which shade it is since my mom's sleeping alrd! hehehe

This noon I accidentally took a super long nap from 2pm till 8pm. I had been so sleepy since Friday - Sunday because I was so tired and barely had enough sleep. I already took a nap last Sunday, but this morning I was so sleepy at school and even took a nap in the class (sorry, sir! couldn't help it T.T). I couldn't help to skip my physics course too (this included turning off my alarm after snoozing it repeatedly and asking my mom not to wake me up anymore with 20% soul) while I'm gonna have a test next week and I haven't really understood the materials. T____T omg grade 12's physics is no jokee......

Anyway, I'll COME to Jakarta this Saturday to do my FIRST GARAGE SALE EVER! with other bloggers & Carousell_ID . Please come to LIMA Cafe, at Pantai Indah Kapuk - North Jakarta on October 25th - 26th. I'll be there from 11am - 8pm. I'll sell this KIKO MIZUHARA Jacket for only IDR 100k there!!

If you're following my ig, you probably have read a sad story about these sneakers. These shoes were actually white, but they were ruined after being washed (I didn't know the canvas material would turn yellow-ish when I tried to remove the stains with water). I brought them to a laundry too but they couldn't fix it and the sneakers' color turned even worse than before. So, they told me whether I would mind or not if they painted them black to cover all the stains. I thought why not! So here they are. Hahaha! Handling a white canvas sneaker is a new lesson for me! 

Anyway, I'm gonna go to bed right now or I'll be sleepy again tomorrow morning xD.

Think Pink

Supporting "Breast Cancer Awareness" month, here is my PINK outfit!  

I love my new floral cut out dress from Femme Bravile. It hugs my body perfectly from top to the bottom! The sewing is very neat too :). Do you like the design as much as I do??

Honestly I'm quite afraid to wear a body-hugging dress because I want to hide my fat belly *xD, which is why I wear a flare dress most of the time ! But look at the photos! The dress looks as good as a flare dress. Soo... all girls can wear this dress prettilyyy :). Go check out Femme Bravile!

Pale Pink

As Saturday is the only free time I got to take outfit pics, last Saturday I went to have lunch again with my friends. Then after that they helped me to take these photos.
Actually I wanted to take pics at a restaurant in Tegal. I won't mention the name, but I've done a photoshoot a few months ago there. One outfit photoshoot, and one on my mom's bday.
 But surprisingly, their rude employee approached me and told me not to take pics there. He even asked me to pay a sum of money. I told him it was okay before, but if the rule has changed since then, I'd try to understand that but let me take a few more photos since it's just me taking my outfit photos without concerning the location / situation there.
Then he left. But not long after that, another different employee approached me again and kept telling me the same thing I've heard enough in not-so-polite-way. The previous person allowed me to take a few more photos for the last time on that day. How come I didn't get pissed off?
Lots of better restaurants or even hotels in big cities that I've visited even didn't do this to me. Those big restaurants have strict rules for photoshoots too, but as far as I know those rules only apply to magazine / commercial photoshoots, and those kind of pre-wedding photoshoots. Where MINE is only a small photoshoot, only me and my friend who become a photographer, without any equipment beside a camera. My photoshoot's point is also my face/my outfit. Errgghh.. I was so angry ,they should've been nicer, plus I wasn't that shameless to only come there to take photos. NO! I ordered many meals for myself and my friends!

Ok, let's stop for my ramblings.. Back to the outfit, I styled this beautiful skirt for a semi formal look. You can wear this kind outfit for an afternoon party, a Sunday day out, tea party, a date, or your friend's floral / girly-themed birthday party!

The semi formal look is created from the combination between this flouncy circle skirt with a long sleeve t-shirt. Since my long sleeve t-shirt doesn't have pattern and look kinda plain, I decided to wear a necklace. I picked this pearl necklace because it's elegant but not to much. :)

This kind of mini circle skirt is perfect to show your long legs, so wear a pair of pumps to make your legs look even longer!

• long sleeve t-shirt from bershka
• skirt from @icorisio
• belt from topshop
• heels from bebe
• necklace from @ladiesshopsheneeds
• bracelet @prettyrize

Last, I tied my hair up and ta dah! This is my comfy yet chic outfit! :D

Another styling tips from me; you can also recreate this look for a more formal outfit. Wear the skirt with a crisp white long sleeve shirt or a structured sleveless top / tunic. Don't forget to wear a statement necklace if your top is plain ;).

See ya in next post!

Embroidered

White flowy top + my favorite denim shorts! This was my cozzyyy outfit yesterday. I went to have lunch with my friends and these photos were taken near the restaurant ;p

As simple as my outfit can be, I'd try to add more colours to it which is red in this outfit. 

• blue embroidered white top c/o @Little_muses
• denim shorts from zara kids
• celine nano bag
• leopard sandals c/o mart of china

I wore this headband because I felt some 'gypsy' / 'country' vibes from the top, so I tried to match it xP. Look at my hair! I don't realize my hair has grown so long after 1 year not having a hair cut + a hair perm last December. I'm planning to cut it to be mid - length when I'm going to Jakarta next week. I'm going to sign myself up to a college there.. About the major and else, I'll tell you after I graduate from high school ^0^

Thanks to ma friend Kevin for taking these photos! Anyway, I'm planning to make a blogpost about some behind-the-scenes of my outfit shoots. You know, I like to fool around and not every photos of me look good. I hope I can make it since I'm nervously facing my 1st physics exam in the 12th grade x( *it's getting harder :'(*

I'd like to also announce the winner of my giveaway.. It's Milka Amelia! Congratulations! I'll contact you as soon as possible. For the others, thanks a lot for joining my giveaway. I promise I'll hold more giveaway soon!

Different Textures

I never knew lace would be a good match with denim. I lovee this outfit because it's perfect for a fun day out with friends in the summer (i know, indonesia's weather is always so hot everyydayy) ! My close friends understand that I rarely wear t-shirt when I go out with them unless I were veryy veryy laaaazzzyyy.

This is how the SMILEY KELLY BAG would look like when I wear it as a sling bag. I changed the strap because the original strap is black but my top was alrd black so I changed it to gold ;3. Please CLICK HERE to WIN this bag :D

Mint and Lace

Hmm... I don't know what to say. I'm not that busy these days because some of my tuitions haven't started yet, so I have quite a lot of leisure time at home. I spend it to take photos, write a new blogpost, reply e-mails, or watch some new episodes of marriage not dating (damn! good storyyy!). But yesterday I had done all of them and didn't really have anything to do so I just laid to rest on the bed while checking instagram,ask.fm, etc. lol. I was really bored when I had nothing to do like that. =___=. I originally wanted to have a photoshoot but my friends weren't available yesterday. And I also felt so fat after eating so muchhh food + snacks (lots of gorengan) T_T. So yeah, let's do the photoshoot after all of the food gone from my tummy. ;P

Mint and white look so perfect together for my spring/summer-y outfit. I imagined wearing this outfit to a summer festival or a short date at the park (although it sounds kinda impossible to do it in Indonesia's parks. lol). Thanks to Cloth Inc for the perfect summer mint top & lace flap skort! They're so comfortable yet so stylish! The cutting (size S) also perfectly fits my body.
