call her Jessica!

hi my readers!

i made an interview with a beautiful girl, named  Jessica . an 16 year old girl who will turn 17 this June. she lives in Australia. She loves to shop in thrift stores. I know her from her lookbook. The interview's questions i got from various blogs and magazines..  here's the interview :)



How would you define your style?
 An elderly grandmother with an affinity for smuggling drugs into strange countries.
How and why did you start blogging?
I started blogging about pointless things that nobody really cares about way back in  Year 7 (5-6 years ago). Your typical pre-teen blog. Detailed descriptions of what I did that day, constant mentions of inside jokes that nobody understood. My blogs became more veered towards fashion around a year ago. The transition from personal blogging to fashion blogging was synonymous with when I started shopping at charity stores. :)

Do you have any inspirations? Please mention it with the reasons!
I'm constantly inspired by dreary weather, by chocolate, by my amazeballs friends, by the people I see on the street, Lookbook, photography, a certain boy, sleeping, things I find in the thrift store. I primarily am inspired by the pieces I find in thrift stores - I usually build outfits around one piece.
What fashion items do you think are the next big trends?
I think mainstream fashion is heading towards the whole hipster direction. Lace up booties and motorcycle boots and the like are in trend right now, so naturally I think the next things everyone's going to want to buy into are: floral, high waisted anything, blazers, destroyed denim cut offs etc.

Mention one fashion item that you wouldn't ever wear it!
CROCS. CROCS. CROCS. Also, high waisted jeans. they don't work for me. BUT CROCS, OH MAN. Someone needs to throw all the crocs into a void and set fire to that void and just UGH. CROCS. I understand that it's comfortable, but there are so many other options you could choose that are comfortable. 
How long does it take for you to put together an outfit?
When I'm feeling lazy - under a minute. By lazy I mean my default outfit - a random shirt tucked into some nondescript floral high waisted skirt. If I'm bothered - generally half an hour, I go a bit mental in choosing outfits. And when it actually counts - formal occasions, half an hour to an hour. 

What is the most comfortable outfit combination for you?
My default outfit - nondescript high waisted floral skirt and a random shirt, with fake docs. Or, my PJs. Or my birthday suit. Actually, my birthday suit is pretty damn comfortable.
Who is your favorite designer? Why?
 i don't really follow designers, but recently I can remember I liked Rodarte an awful lot. And Charles Anastase, that collection that was so saturated with geek chic it was practically like a library in clothing form.

What do you want to be in the future?
Right now it's all a bit blurry, even though a lot of my peers are set on what they want to do. I'm definitely veering towards a more creative (read: Lazy) career, possibly in Visual Communication. Or maybe PR, advertising. I'm not sure yet. It would be lovely if I could open my own second hand clothing store though. Like I need any more of an excuse to hang out in dusty charity shops.




big thanks to Jessica for sparing her time to be interviewed by me! :)

Happy Mother's Day to all moms in this world!!
(actually in Indonesia, Mother's day is on December :))

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.  ~Washington Irving
Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds.  Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, comrades and friends - but only one mother in the whole world.  ~Kate Douglas Wiggin

A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
-- Agatha Christie

ok, i cried yesterday when my teacher told me about MOM.
I never realized mom is full of efforts...
she struggled between life or die when she gave birth her child..
she brought up her child with all of her love & strength

i always think my mom is fussy.
i often angry to her...
i feel so guilty
i never think before what she does for me from i was a baby till now...
sorry mom. ;(
i often make u feel disappointed.. i make u angry and cry
i will always love u mom.
u're the only my mom
the best mom in this world
the most beautiful mom i've ever seen
you're the only mom with young way of thinking..
i really love u mom. :)

friends, do you love your mom? your hero... a person who gave u birth to this world??
the fussy person at home?? hahahha. i'm sure we're all love our mom :)


hmmmm... this month will be a busy month for me. 
i'll go to Jogja from Wednesday-Friday.
it's for visiting Mother Maria's caves (pilgrimage). then we'll visit other places in Jogja too. :).
i'm very excited but i know it will make the students super tired.
because one day after back from Jogja, we'll go camping T_T (i'm not excited with this, i hate it... i can't sleep in the tent. so hot, damp,etc.)
i don't think i could meet jogja bloggers.. because my school doesn't give free time. because we're still 7th grade student. i know, my teachers scared if someone losts. haha...
we get time to walk around just for few hours (maybe) at Maliboro. I even don't know Maliboro is a market/mall. -__-"


okay... i inspired by D & G SS 2010 RTW and Alexander Wang SS 2010 RTW to make a mini photoshoot,
not really exact anyway... Just "look-a-like"

i just wanna be my self. i must be proud of it,
God gives me complete body's organ..
i could walk, i could hear, i could see, i could touch, etc...
sometimes i ask to God.
"why my eyes are so small?"
"why i can't be slimmer?"
"why i can't be higher?"
then.... I know...
no body's perfect in this world...
I still could do anyhting that I want. I talk in my heart "lucky i'm not like other people who can't walk, can't see, can't hear...."
"lucky i could live happier and less of misery... have a beautiful home.... good family members...."
"lucky i have funny friends...."
now... i should be proud with anything that I want.
I must be grateful with anything that God gives to me....
if I want to be higher and slimmer... i must attempt ! don't just pray! attempt+pray= hopefully our dream will come true ;)

see u n have a nice day folks :))
