Oktobeer Feast 2016

Oktoberfest (German pronunciation: [ɔkˈtoːbɐˌfɛst]) is the world's largest Volksfest (beer festival and travelling funfair). Held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.

No, we're not going to Germany but we enjoyed Oktobeer Feast 2016 in Jakarta. This Pizza E Birra event held in Gandaria City with free flow beer, games, and music. We went to the second day of this event because we want to see one of our favorite band, Barasuara. Before I talk about how great their show, let's start with other fun part. We tried a lot of games, one of it is Giant Beer Pong. It's like a regular beer pong but instead of throw a ping pong ball, we throw a volley ball to some bucket. My team won and we just have to drink 2 glass of beer, yaaay for sport class that we took in high school.

From all the games that we've played, we won dining voucher and 4 International Beer. After we tasted it all, our favorite is Belgian Beer. 

Let's move to the music, first band that we saw today is The Trees and The Wild which is remind me of high school memories even though their songs isn't sounds the same anymore, but I enjoyed it anyway. And then on 20.30 pm, it's time for Barasuara! They killed the stage as always and of course Iga Massardi didn't want any barricade between the stage and the audience, so BOOM SAH we move right in front of the stage (as always). Last performance goes to Mocca. Another flashback to my high school moment which I can't even remember how many years ago. Apparently my energy already as low as my phone battery so I watched them while I chill out on a bean bag which is really cozy!

So, this event was really fun! Good beer, great music, and amazing friends of course. The worst part is we have to deal with Monday on the next day. The combination between free flow beer, over excitement, and lack of sleep will definitely haunt us at the office on the next day. Before I leave you all, here's some fun moment that I took from my phone.

In Memory Of My Beloved Grandma

"We keep this love in a photograph, we made these memories for ourselves. Where our eyes are never closing, hearts are never broken, times forever frozen still" - Ed Sheeran

 It's been 2 weeks since my grandma passed away on 1 June 2015. That was the hardest day of my life. I just visited her for a whole day and she passed away on the next day. She passed away on her sleep and she still looks so beautiful as always. She have a heart of an angel. She's always been a part of my life since I was born. She teached me how to tight my shoes, how to ride a bike, she was the reason I continued my college, she took a huge part on my clothing line, she was believe in me when everyone underestimate me, she's always there for me when no one even there for me. She's a role model, she made me who I am today. I can't imagine my life right now if she wasn't there when I grow up.

For 24 years, things that makes me happy in my life is to give back my mom and my grandma. I love to make them proud. Since I was a kid, I like to give her a letter and a gift (even though we met a lot of times every week). And guess what? My grandma still kept all the letters and all the gift from me. Even she still kept the money that I gave her when I was a kid, she never used it (I'm sure it was the money from my mom, for me), she kept everything that I gave her in her closet. And when I started to earn my own money, bought her things that she likes and go to many place that she likes together is making me happy. Because I'm happy if she's happy. And I kept doing all of it until she's gone.

I'm sure right now she's in the most beautiful place ever, I know God will gave her the best place because she's the nicest person that I've ever known. Nothing can compare in this world to her. I wish she'll visit me a lot of times in my dreams because I really miss her, every single day.

RIP My Beloved Grandma....
You will always have a special place to stay in my heart

Style Inspiration: Louis Tomlinson Sporty Style

I want an effortless style inspiration today and sporty looks always my number one choice for an effortless style. Because the outfit would be simple but keep you in style anyway. And this time, I choose Louis Tomlinson as my style inspiration. A guy for our style inspiration, why not? Apart from Louis is my favorite One Direction member, I fell in love with his "British Rogue" Hoodie. Have you ever heard of a Berlin artist, Richie Culver? Richie has collaborated with Topman and the collection are showcasing his creativity with painting. And this British Rogue Grey Hoodie is one of the collection.

Richie Culver British Rogue Hoodie // Topman

Black High-Waist // Topshop

Platform Boots // H&M

My hoodie is pretty huge on me because usually I wear petite size and now I bought a hoodie from Topman so yeah it's obvious. I just got that black pants from Topshop last week and actually the pants have so many pattern on it (oops my fault I didn't post the closer look but I'll show it later on my next post). So with my oversize hoodie, I decided to wear my favorite platform boots because if I wear sneakers I will looks like I'm drowning on my hoodie. And a platform boots would be nice in the middle of boyish looks.

High Waist Shorts // Forever 21

Sandals // Montego Bay Club

Last week I have a day to spent a weekend getaway to Lembang, Bandung. It was a very short trip but it was fun! We went to Kampung Gajah Wonderland, have you ever go there? I also met my long lost friend: Bart Simpsons, the one and only El Barto. When I was there, I'm mostly enjoy the view and eat a lot of food as always, culinary is my favorite part when I go anywhere. But I'm definitely went to my favorite ride.

My friend and I went to a House of Terror, as always creepy thing is my favorite. We have to go upstairs before we start the ride and as we enter the gate, we could hear a very creepy song and yes, that was so loud. What makes this house even scarier is there's no one enter the House, so it's gonna be the two of us on the ride. As the ride is started, we can't see anything because it's totally dark until suddenly someone scream and running toward us and he looks like a monster (well he tried to be a monster or devil or anything scary) and he just a few inch from my side. My friend and I scream like a maniac! I didn't expect that he'll appear on my side hahaha. And as we continue the ride, there's a lot of creepy moving statue, babies crying, ghost are waking up from their coffin, a scary women chopped her head in the shower and a lot of scary ghost that I can't describe one by one. I think the song and the sounds like someone beat a drum make us scare and the atmosphere of course. The ride feels like forever but I love this ride so much! When a haunted house could make me scare, that means the ride is great. And here's the entrance of The House of Terror.

March Madness Recap

1. Blogger at Indonesian Fashion Week 2015.

Having so much fun blogging for Indonesian Fashion Week 2015. Snap a lot of photos at the Fashion Show, tried to eat super fast on the food truck because we have to catch up to the next fashion show and running back and forth with 13 inch ankle boots, ain't it fun?

2. Kue Cubit Experience

Helping my mom to start her food business, modern kue cubit (traditional snack from Indonesia, if you translate it: pinch cake). Before she try to make it, we went to a lot of fancy kue cubit places as a research and for my tummy pleassure. Red Velvet kue cubit is the best and I kinda like the bubblegum flavour too.

3. Got a Friendship ring & necklace

Finally reunite with my best friends from college after almost a year. We bought ourselves a friendship ring and necklace as we went to Cibubur together for a weekend getaway.

4. One Direction came to Indonesia

I have a huge crush on Louis Tomlinson & like their songs but to be honest I wasn't a huge fan until they went to Jakarta. It started on my clothing line twitter when I defend a lot of Directioners who can't meet them because the hide and seek drama with the music promoters. I didn't realize I drag myself to the fandom and love them even more and more and more, cause I can love you more than this! hahaha. And march is also the biggest One Direction drama of all time, here's the summary:

- Louis broke up

- Zayn cheating rumors

- Zayn didn't make it to Jakarta

- Zayn leaving 1D

- Louis slay Naughtyboy (Hail to Louis!)

- Zayn new single with Naughtyboy

- Someone throw a lightstick and hit Harry in the eye (This should be part of the tragic story too)

The funniest thing is after all those tragic things, I love them even more! #sorrynotsorry

5. Selling In The Park

My friend and I embrace our entrepreneur spirit at the park. Selling vintage goods and kue cubit green tea! It was so fun and we also visit a group of women's house to sell the clothes and we sold a lot of stuff. They spent a lot of cash for our stuff and they are also so nice.

Well, that's the summary of my march madness. I wish April would be a better month!

Pastel Grunge - IFW Day 3

Unicorn Crop Tee // Forever 21

Pastel Tribal Shorts // Clover Boutique

Outer // No Label

Bag // Elle 

Ankle Boots // H&M

I didn't realize that lately I've been dress up in 90's Grunge and Pastel Grunge Vibe. I didn't do it on purpose but I really love those kind of style. I chose this crop top because it's unicorn, I mean who doesn't love unicorn? If you see it clearly, my crop top say "I Liked Unicorns Before It Was Cool." And finally I had a chance to wear my pastel tribal shorts, I'm sure I haven't wear it anywhere since I bought it on the local boutique in Kemang. Also, I found that purple outer in the back of my closet and It's like finding a treasure! One thing that I learned the most from Fashion Week and any kind of Fashion Show in the past few years is tight clothes making me uncomfortable during the event. Because I have to snap a lot of pictures and jumping from side to side on the event, bodycon is make me hard to move. That's why lately I decide to wear all kind of comfortable clothes. Don't mention the heels, I'm totally find running with 13 inch heels because I'm so tiny.

How To Survive The Jinx Festival

Almost done with the first month of 2015. To be honest, this is not my favorite month because January turns out to be a jinx. So I'm pretty glad that January is almost over and I'm gonna focus on my resolutions. Have you ever watch "Alexander and The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" movie? I love that movie because my January could really relate to that movie. Yes we have those terrible day but so what? You have a chance to make your day better and even on your worst day, you could always find a very small things which could make you cheer up. That's why if life gives you a lemon, baked a lemon cupcake!

But how to survive from the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day? This is my survival kit for January and I hope these could help you to survive with those kind of day.

1. Go Crying While Listening To Your Favorite Music Out Loud
I rarely cry, especially in front of anyone. But no matter how tough you are, it's okay to cry alone in your room because as soon you let it out, you will feel that actually your failure on your bad day is not that bad. And I'm sure music is the best way to make you feel better. Try listen to Drown by Bring Me The Horizon or Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold. Those songs always on my playlist and it always make me feel better. 

2. Surfing on The Internet and Find Something Funny
This is totally work! Once you find a bunch of funny post, you will forget that you have a terrible day. I suggest you to see 9gag, Buzzfeed, and Tumblr.

3. Have A Coffee and Sweet Dessert Alone
Why alone? Because when you're mad or sad, that means world doesn't treat you right. And who's gonna treat you right is yourself. Go to a coffee shop or cafe alone and have your favorite drink and dessert.

4. Movie Time
You could go to a cinema alone and have a quality time because you're alone, nobody could piss you off even more and you could pick any movie plus the popcorn is all yours. Or you could watch your favorite tv series. Re-watch Friends series many times and I'm sure you will feel better

I could give you more and more advice but it would be too long. But I was thinking, do you ever think that your style is depend with your mood? I feel like yes, I dress up depending on my mood. If I'm in a bad mood, I just go out with a sweater, black jeans, and sneakers. And when I'm really in the good mood, I spend more time to choose what I would wear before I go out. I remember the first day on January, I tried to dress up and it turns out a little bit different than the way I usually dress up.
Match my crop top collection with a vintage maxi in bloody red color. It surprise myself because I like it.

Crop Top - New Look

Vintage Maxi - Marks and Spencer

Studded Boots - H&M

Bag - Yves Saint Laurent

Busy Weekend With Foxity Clothing

It seems like I've been on the writing hiatus and it's good to be back. There's a lot of things I want to share with you all in the past few weeks (or month?). Last month, my online store, Foxity Clothing pop up and got a booth to meet our lovely customers in person at Cecilia's Cafe, Kemang. When most of people in Jakarta are finished or even start to partying at DWP, my friend and I really busy with our work for a weekend. My mom also help us on the booth and that was fun.
As some of you might know that Foxity Clothing selling some stuff such as Handmade T-shirt (we paint it on the Tees), Handmade Totebag, Scrapbook Journal, Original Branded Clothes with affordable price, and we also a book retailer (Import Books & Magazine). We are usually selling our collection online from our Twitter and we will launch our fanpage next month, so it would be easier for you to see the collection and to shop, like the fanpage here (we're still in progress).

 VNC heels & sandals, New Look shoes

And that's a wrap! Selfie or let's say wefie for the whole tenant before we pack our bags and go home.

Thank you for the people who stop by and shop in our booth. If you missed a chance to come, you could still have our collection by visiting our Twitter.

Anyway, I haven't talk about outfit for today! Because I know that day is gonna be a hot day and I'm sure hell is blow their fire to Jakarta because it's super hot. I chose to wear a top with sleeves to cover myself from the sunlight (yes, I'm not really into the sun but the sun when I'm on the beach is an exception) but this top isn't make me sweaty because the fabric is totally friendly. A mix it with a short pants because once again, yes the weather is hot but that doesn't stop me to wear dark colors. A fedora because I rest my hair for a crazy colors for a few week and I feel weird to see my own hair in a dark colors so let the fedora do his job. One last item is boots wedges, I love boots and I need to be a little bit more taller so this item is a must. And I'm glad I found nice spot to take some pictures at Cecilia's Cafe on the second floor. Photo taken by my best friend Friska.

Go Back To Purple

 

 Change my hair colors again even though I really love my previous hair color, Turquoise but I decided to go back to purple for Halloween. It's been 4 years I haven't put any darker colors for my hair and I'm changing my hair a lot from bloody red, Green until Turquoise. Anyway, yes I'm huge fan of Topshop. Again and again I'm wearing this brand. Every season they have a very nice collection and perfect for the street style. To be honest that was my old long sleeves from Topshop, I found it in my closet and think about mix and match it with some new stuff.

That day, I'm visiting Boys Market at Gandaria City. Even though I'm a girl but I'm kinda curious about this market. There's a lot of local tenant, selling boys stuff of course. I found Edward Scissorhands tank top and I wish I could buy it but the size is too big for me (of course, it's a boy size). So many interesting stuff to see, boys would love it.
