Life In Black And White

Crop Top // H&M

Short Pants // Forever 21

Sneakers // Nike

You could hardly see what happened on somebody's outfit when they photograph it in black and white. That's not entirely true because I only wear 2 colors for this outfit: Black and white. I love wearing those colors so much, is that even a color? I'm telling you that you could never go wrong with black and white. I choose a black crop top and black short pants with white sneakers. If you think your outfit is too simple, put on a statement necklace. It will make you stand out!

Night Of Spell at Harry Potter Book Night

Demelza Snape, Romilda, Wilhelmina Prince, and Edgar Cresswell.

Earlier this month, I've got an invitation to attend Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone Illustrated book launching at Kinokuniya, Plaza Senayan. This month you could start to order the illustrated book by Jim Kay in Bahasa. We took a peak and this book have a really good illustration. It makes the book even more interesting and I know if one day I become a mother, this could be a great story book to tell to my children before they go to bed.

Anyway, we had a good time on this event. When we first got in, they pick us a wizard name for us. See our wizard names above! Also, we had to pick a random paper to decide which house is the best for us and I've got Gryffindor. Nope, that could be a wrong choice. In Pottermore, I've got Slytherin and I know deep down in my heart that I'm a true Slytherin (Sorry not sorry, I guess). After we've got our name and house, we could enjoy some treat that you've seen on the movie such as Bertje Bott's every flavor beans, Weasley's Dragon Roasted Nuts, and many more. We could also find a potion corner, this one is really cool because I found Polyjuice, Bat's Eye, Gillyweed, and many more. I wish I could use it for a sweet revenge! If you could pick one, what kind of potion will you choose to steal from Snape?

Stay Cozy and Casual

Fine-Knit Cardigan // H&M

Crossbone Tank // H&M

Short Jeans // Etienne Aigner

Pastel Pink Bag // Elle

Platform Boots // H&M

Belt // Salvatore Ferragamo

Since the weather in Jakarta is unpredictable, all we need is a very comfortable outfit but keep it in style. That's why I choose a cozy cardigan in case it will rain or a little bit cold. But I combine it with short jeans because you will never know if the weather will be as hot as hell though. So why not to prepare for both of the weather that we could expect. I love to add a belt because it makes a simple looks more stylish. 

January Madness Recap

I can't believe today is the end of January! New year seems like yesterday and tomorrow we will face the second month of 2016. For me, January is all about detox, workout, and friendship. It's been a great month so far and I was thinking to make a monthly madness recap on my blog by the end of the month. Let's get back to what happened in January. As I said on my previous post, the first month of 2016 should be full of detox. What happened in 2015 have to stay in 2015, it's time to tossed away every toxic in your life and January help me did those things.

Green juice is my best friend and I tried to workout as much as I can. It feels good to feel stronger after a sweaty body combat and cardio still on top of my list.

Squad Goals. Surround yourself with positive people and you will live a happy life! That's true. I feel like this month I have so much fun with my friends. We went out for some nice food, talked about our crazy life, making fun of someone we hate because apparently we all hate a same person, and after all we had too much laugh. I'm really grateful I could always had a good times with old friends, new friends, and co-workers. I also make some new friends this month which is surprisingly because I knew them from unexpected places and they always make my day even better.

Work and project. January is about planning. As you might know, I work as Social Media Specialist and I also have some side project such as fashion business and music thingy. I've been really busy in the past few months and I feel like I can't manage my side project. So this month is all about plan and plan. If you haven't write any plan for anything that you want to chase this year, you better start now! Dreams wouldn't come true over night, so write down on your journal and make some plan about it.

Trip. Work hard is a must but you also need vacation. I have a few plan for some weekend getaway and to make it come true, January should be a month to manage everything so we don't need to worry about what would happen on the next month and so on.

Treat Yourself. After detox and workout, of course we all need to have a day off and get a nice snack once in a while. The day I have too much to do at work is the day I need to have something like chocolate or a frappuccino.

Kahlua. By the end of the day, what's your favorite drink? My favorite is Kahlua. You've been work really hard this month and you deserve your favorite drink.

Justin Bieber? Wait what? I'm not Belieber but I should confess that I love some of his songs from his new album. I love Skrillex and I think they make a great collaboration. But the song that I love the most is Love Yourself. Well, no surprise because apparently Ed Sheeran involve in this song and I fell in love with the lyrics! I feel like I need to shout those lyrics out loud and that's why I posted a song cover of Love Yourself. Feel free to check it out:

That's how my January madness. It was great! Nothing much about fashion though because I haven't attend any fashion event this month. But January left me with some great moment with so many surprise.

What's your favorite January moment?

Valentine Getaway Outfit Inspiration

Backless Dress // H&M

Classic Bag // Saint Laurent

Platform Heels // Stradivarius

Only 3 more weeks to Valentine's Day, have you prepare for a special day? It would be great to have a Valentine Getaway to a special place. One of the most important thing that you should prepare is your outfit! I keep imagine what would my romantic outfit looks like and I think I will choose a backless dress for Valentine's Day dinner. A little sequin would be nice but I choose a little bit glitter instead of sequin. A classic bag is a must, it makes you stand out and give you an elegant looks. Remember, you will have a wonderful night, so you should choose the most comfortable shoes ever! A high heels Platform is my hero because it's pretty classy but comfortable and it makes me 11 inches taller.

For me, Valentine's dinner with some good food and a beautiful view with your love one would be perfect. Browsing to so many wonderful places and Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco caught my attention. They have a wonderful panoramic view of the City and the Bay from high atop Nob Hill. It would be the most romantic dinner if you could spend your Valentine's Day right there. 

How's Your Perfect Valentine's Dinner Idea?

We Found Wonderland

Chess Crop // La Delle

Burgundy Pants // Stradivarius

Platform Boots // H&M

Classic Bag // Saint Laurent

Hat // H&M

It's no secret that I love crop top! It's fun to style it with jeans, short pants, and skirt. I bought this Burgundy pants last week and this pants become my favorite! It's a push ups jeans but it's totally comfy and I love the color. 

As I decided to go casual today, I wore it with chess crop top that I've got from my friend as a birthday present. I also didn't leave my signature style, platform boots. You could never go wrong with platform boots! I've got this platform boots from H&M and it's the most comfortable boots that I've got so far even though the heels is 11 cm. I might go casual today but classic bag could complete your style and I choose my classic Saint Laurent bag. Remember.. if you want to invest on something, if you love fashion, invest on a classic bag is the best thing that you could do and I'm sure you won't regret it.

How To Find Happiness Before 2016

Floral Printed Shirt // Pull & Bear

Short Pants // Etienne Aigner

Sneakers // Guess

2015 is almost over! It's time to look back to the weirdest year ever. Why I said the weirdest year ever? Because every good and bad moment on 2015 always came to me like a lightning. Everything went so fast, every single good and bad moment came without knocking, they came like a zig zag hit me like a dart. But I feel grateful of everything that happened in 2015 because this year has taught me a lot of things and you should be grateful too!

By the end of the year, I started to reflect on the things that happened in 2015 and I know that 2016 would be a great year if you let yourself to have a great year. As a person with anxiety disorder, trying to be less over thinking is the hardest thing that I could do, but this year I feel like I need to see everything in a different perspective and I am really surprised with what I've got.

Friendship is everything
Nothing could beat my sorrow on June and that's when I know which one is my very best friend. You could have a lot of friends, but best friend is different. I'm grateful to have them in my life and when you surround yourself with positive people, your life would be so much better. Never let anyone drain your energy out of you by doing anything that makes you feel bad about yourself, your life, or anything. You deserve better!

Detox and Workout
I've been doing this a lot in 2015 and I think it's been a few months since the last time I did a Juice Cleanse, feels like I want to do it again before 2015 is over. The first benefit from detox is your health but I have my own thought with Juice Cleanse and anything like that. I want to clean all the toxic (any kind of toxic, including bad things that happened in my life) and it works really well, because it would make your body feel so much better. Beside Juice Cleanse, Cardio is also my favorite thing.

Spread Your Happiness
I rarely get mad, but when I do..It's gonna be a doomsday because usually I put my anger somewhere and one day I will blow up at the worst time. Being mad is exhausting! I lost my focus, my days are ruined, etc. That's when I start to put this in my mind: Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy. So yes, I start to make sure everything that I do will makes me happy and I kinda ignore what other people think as long as it's a positive things to do. I think everyone deserve to be happy, but are you ready to make yourself happy? Because sometimes you should do things that you never do before to be happy, get out from your comfort zone and find your happiness.

Start With A Blank Space
I read this quote somewhere and I can't remember where is it from but they said Don't get burnt by the same flame twice. New year is the best time to write your life in a blank space. You can't take back everything that happened to you in 2015 and you can choose not to look back and take it as a lesson. You can't forget things that happened to you though, but you can laugh about it one day. I don't hate the bad things that happened to me, because apparently it made me understand that I'm stronger than I thought, I know I have a very amazing best friends and a really great mother, I figured out that a psychopath is real and she might reading this blog right now (what?!? Oh hey.. hello there!), I know how to deal with my anxiety way much better than last year, and so many things that I can't explain one by one. Make a list and you know that you're more than ready for a new year.

Only 4 more days and you will say goodbye with 2015, make the best of it. End this year with happiness so it will leave you with a nice memories. Happy Holiday, everyone!
