Jakarta Fashion Week 2016: Day 1 Summary

It's time for Jakarta Fashion Week again! Always exciting if it comes to Fashion Week. So many great runway on the first day and as always I met a lot of wonderful people right there. Just like the previous year, Jakarta Fashion Week 2016 held at Senayan City, Jakarta. There are 2 venues, Fashion Tent and Fashion Atrium. On day 1, I spent a whole day at Fashion Tent and here's what happened on Day 1.

Black Outter // Body & Soul

Ribbed Halterneck // Topshop

Short Pants // Riotous

Platform Boots // H&M

Classic Bag // Saint Laurent

Decided to wear all black and turns out like a witch, well hey it's October anyway. Fashion Week is the best time to wear my favorite Platform Boots, because even though my platform boots heels is 13 inch, it's really comfortable. I could stand for a whole day and running back and forth with it. Plus, I get a little bit taller of course, so yay!

Sweet treats from The Harvest Cake and Magnum.

Great to see Tex Saverio again! Today he marks the official release of TXID. It's a secondary line by Saverio & Liu Inc. As you might know, the collection are masculine and dark, still with the laser cut materials and futuristic prints plus a lot of leather goods. To be honest, I want all of TXID collection for my birthday!

Sean & Sheila Collection

Lotuz Collection

Jakarta Fashion Week 2016 Day 1 is a wrap! That's the summary of my great weekend at fashion week. Really need to catch up with the following days but I can't get a day off from work, so let's see if I could make it to another day of JFW16.

7 Things To Do When You're Sick Before Fashion Week

Stripe Shirt // H&M

Black Pants // Topshop

Sneakers Wedges // H&M

Bag // Elle

Back to basic and comfy thingy. This stripe shirt is really comfy, I got it from H&M last week. Oh and by the way, that's my new hair, I took some pictures as soon as I leave my hairdresser because I love it. My hair is too straight so I love how my hairdresser could styling it.

It's been a hectic week so comfortable clothes and chopped my hair is definitely a right decision. I was hardly take a rest in the past few weeks and suddenly BOOM, I'm very ill. It's only a week until Jakarta Fashion Week and that means we all need to be as healthy as we could, right? Tonsillitis attack me for a few days, I can't barely talk and my throat feels like burning. And I should take 2 days off from my work which is sucks to stay in bed all day. Have you ever feel that way when you are sick? The only way you could do is to entertained yourself in bed. And here's a few things that you could do when you have to bed rest for a few days.

1. Green Tea, Honey, and Lime.

This is make me feel better! I'm a huge fan of tea so I can drink this for a whole day. It makes my throat a little better and it taste good.

2. Books

When I have to stay in bed, books would be a good company. If you find a good book, time will fly and you don't even realize you spent a whole day in bed just to read a book.

3. TV Series Marathon

This is what I do in the past few days. Thanks God all my favorite tv series are back with their new season just in time I need a movie marathon. So I spent my day to watch American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Scream Queens, and My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. 

4. Soup Of The Day

Soup always makes you feel better when you're sick. My mom made me a veggie soup (because I'm a pescetarian) and that's really delicious! It's good to be at home for a while even though I hate that I'm sick.

5. Eat Banana

I heard if tonsillitis attack us, we could fight it with banana. It help a little bit I guess, because it wasn't too hard to eat when you're sick.

6.  Fall Asleep To Your Favorite Song

When you're sick, all you need is take a rest. D'oh..I can't believe I said this because when I still doing my work in bed when I'm sick, but don't do that if it's not that important (in my case, it's really important). Your favorite song could make you relax so you could take a rest. I've been repeating One Direction's new song, Infinity. God knows how much I addicted to that song!

7. A Fever You Can Sweat Out

When you have fever, you need to sweat a lot.. that's what they said. Stay inside your blanket and drink a lot of hot water. Because hot water could calm your soar throat and the steam will make you feel better.

So yeah.. that's what you could try when you feel bored and need to feel better for Fashion Week! I'm not helping you that much, right? LOL. But hopefully at least you have something to read (read: my blog) and get well soon for every person in this earth who feels sick just like me!

5 Fun Things To Do This October

Cats Sweater // Korean Brand

Short // Etienne Aigner

Sneakers // New Look

Purple Bag // Charles & Keith

I know it's the second week of October but it's not too late to make plans for this month! October is one of my favorite month because it's time for Halloween. I'm always a little bit exciting if it comes to spooky stuff and one of my favorite thing is to choose a Halloween costume. But there are tons of things that I want to do this October and maybe you could do it too to spark this month a little bit. Let's start with...........................................

1. Try a new look

You could try a new style for your wardrobe or maybe chop your hair a little bit, This time, I decide to chopped my hair (I'll show you the result on my next post). I love my long hair but it's been too long I haven't change it.

2. Read some new book

Inspire yourself! There are a bunch of books and  it could inspire your career life, love life, and everything. Every month is a good month to make a book list to read. By the end of the month it might surprise you of how all those books could inspired your life.

3. Catch up with TV Series

I know I'm not the only one whose really exciting about this month. The Walking Dead, The Flash and American Horror Story are back! Did you watch those series? Those are my favorite. The second season premiere of The Flash is getting me so emotional. Move to the first episode of American Horror Story: Hotel, it's pretty creepy and Lady Gaga is totally nailed it. And tomorrow is the new season of The Walking Dead, could I be any more exciting? YES!

4. Find a way to enjoy your daily activity

I live with a tight deadline, demanding client, and sometimes with a hectic situation. I love my job but of course daily activity could make you tired and bored sometimes. Try to wake up every morning with a nice breakfast, take a detour to work so you could always find something interesting that you wouldn't expect before, a cup of green tea before you start to work, and good music! That's the key to enjoy everything that you do.

5. Write down your happy moment at the end of the week

On Sunday, you could try to write every happy moment that happened to you from Monday - Sunday. It might surprise you because sometimes we didn't realize how much we felt happy with every little things that happened in our life. Be grateful and maybe next week you will get a better week.

Jakarta Culinary Passport: Asian Adventure

Last weekend my friends and I went to Jakarta Culinary Passport at Grand Indonesia. This time their theme is Asian Adventure. We tried a lot of delicious food and I'm sure my tummy is really happy. The first food that we've tried is a super big crepes!

You know that I'm really happy when my food is bigger than my face. It's Ovomaltine with Banana and Cheese Crepes. It taste delicious and we're really afraid that we will break the crepes apart when we took a lot of pictures with this crepes.

It's a plant with a larva? Nope, it's mocha ice cream with oreo crumble. It's really cute and I wish all the dirt in this earth is so tasty like this ice cream.

Mushroom is my favorite food ever! Everything with mushroom would be so much better. And this is fried mushroom with mushroom sauce and cheese. Love the sauce, it makes the menu even stand out.

My friends also joined Sushi and Chicken Wings Eating Competition. It was fun to see and they aren't win the competition but they brought us the rest of the food from the competition so yay for free sushi. And that's a wrap, our tummy can't handle anymore food so we just spent the rest of the day for laughing like crazy. It was a very fun weekend when it comes to great food and great friends. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend too!

I'm stoked to reppin' a maxi skirt from Something Borrowed that I've got from Zalora. And as always Sneakers Wedges is a must have item, especially when it comes in black and a little bit of studded. Anyway.. are you a fan of Balenciaga bag collection? If you're a fan, you might notice that this is a vintage Balenciaga bag. I'm so psyched when I got this bag because it's a vintage collection and it's Balenciaga!

Bring Me The Horizon That's The Spirit Review

Today is the day, Bring Me The Horizon release day for That's The Spirit. They already gave us a chance to listen to 5 amazing track from this album and for us who already pre-order the album, today is a pretty good day! 

I still remember the first time I listened to BMTH. I was in high school, it was 10 years ago (ugh, I feel old). I was in a metal band and my friend told me your hair looks like the lead singer from Bring Me The Horizon. I was like, really?? And then he asked me to listen to Pray For Plagues and he bet I would love it. Well, he's right! I love it and I become a huge fan since that day. I grew up listened to their songs and everytime they released a new album, I always thought that they always make their songs sounds even better and better. I'm so proud of their achievement and I'm also glad I had a chance to saw their concert in Jakarta back on 2011. I wish one day I could meet them in person because they all amazing! Anyway, on 2011 I also launched my blog for BMTH: indoheartbmth and thank you Oliver Sykes for following me (his blog turned to be a drop dead blog right now) and he reblogged my song cover of The Masterplan - Oasis  and I'm still stoked everytime I remember that day.

Now they released their new album, I'm so amaze of what they've done. Oliver Sykes could make his dark times to a wonderful masterpiece, Jordan Fish make the band sounds interesting, Lee Malia still gave me a good vibe with his guitar, Matt Kean bass gave me chills on every songs, and Matt Nicholls whoa he's totally nailed it. So here's my review for Bring Me The Horizon new album, That's The Spirit:

1. Doomed
Is it a right track? That's my first thought. It doesn't sound like BMTH at all but I love it. I mean I never expect them to write a song like this and it turns out that it's really good. Oliver Sykes voice is wonderful, where did he hide his beautiful voice in the past few years? I already have a goosebump on the first track. It's like I ate apple everyday and finally I eat blueberry, do you know what I mean? Like I listen to great stuff and then I listen they're surprise me with the best stuff.


2. Happy Song
This song makes me happy, no wonder because it's a Happy Song. Can't help myself not to join to shout S.P.I.R.I.T SPIRIT! LET'S HEAR IT!


3. Throne
Standing applause for this song. Could I be any more agree with the lyrics? This song is totally lift up my spirit. Thanks to BMTH for writing amazing song like this. Love the sounds of every instruments that they've played because if you listen carefully, you could hear all of it and it sounds great. Jordan Fish and Matt Nicholls make it more interesting. Try to hear every instrument, you could also heard Matt Kean and Lee Malia killed it. Fyi, my mom also love this song.


4. True Friends
Dear BMTH, are you read my mind? This is what I felt and it was messing with my head in the past few months and they made this song, a perfect song and a coincidence. I feel like I wanna give this song for my frenemy.


5. Follow you
When I heard the intro, I was trying to guess what would they do to this song? As Oliver start to sing, they amaze me more. Once again, I never expect them to write a song like this and yes, I still love it. I could chillin' somewhere while listen to this song.

6. What you need
 When they hit the chorus, I could imagine being in the crowd at their concert, singing out loud together with the crowd and I could imagine the situation. This song makes me want to sing along.

7. Avalanche
The sounds of Lee's guitar is the winner in this song. This is some kind of song that makes you want to sing along. It's gonna be my jam! Probably will sing it on the bathroom, ssshh let's keep it a secret.

8. Run
My heart can't take it, this song is so beautiful. It's my favorite! The chorus is stuck in my head from the very first time I heard this song. The lyrics and the melody is suit perfectly and pretty dramatic. I replied this song a thousand times for a whole day.

9. Drown
I still remember the first time they released this song, I was like whoa.. they start to change their sound in a very good way. They are getting better and better and better! I wish they also add the acoustic version that they played on BBC radio to the album because that's extremely beautiful.

10. Blasphemy
Boom! This song is really catchy for my ears, another favorite song? I guess I could never pick my favorite song because I love all of it. But seriously, I bet everyone will love this song.

11. Oh no
Oh no, I feel like dancing for this song! And I'm not even a good dancer but I don't care, this song makes me want to move. Wait a minute, is that a sound of saxophone? Well done BMTH well done.

That's my thought, congratulations for Bring Me The Horizon. I thought you create a masterpiece with Sempiternal and now That's The Spirit won my heart again. Let me know your thoughts and your favorite song from That's The Spirit. And if you haven't but their CD, go buy it. It's a must have album on 2015, trust me.

Now That's The Spirit: How to nailed it on September

Purple Outer // Custom Made

Crossbone Tank // H&M

Skirt // Forever 21

Sneakers Wedges // H&M

Salem Bag // Elle

I can't believe it's already September! So many event this month from Runway Show, Jakarta Comic Con and the day that I've been waiting for: Bring Me The Horizon new album, That's The Spirit. September is getting me so exciting. Speaking about That's The Spirit, apart from the album title, I was impress that BMTH new songs could explain what I am feeling in the past few weeks. You know that kind of feeling when you found some songs and the lyrics are so related to you, it's like the song represent your mind. One of their song called "Throne" for the example:

"So you can throw me to the wolves, tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack. Beat me back and blue, every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne. The sticks and the stones that you used to throw have built me an empire".

The worst thing in my life, the people who secretly try to drag you down with them, and all those things who could possibly be the bad things in your life could be your weapon to have a better life and to make your dreams come true. I'm so glad some people throw me to the wolves and I already come back as a leader of the whole pack. I'm grateful that I could make the worst thing in my life as a trigger to change my life, it works! Every pain has a reason, that's your choice for you to turn it around. If you think your life is sucks or you need a better month, give September a chance. Here's a few ways for you to nailed it on September.

1. Leave your comfort zone.
This is the hardest part but it's the only way to change your life. Of course it's hard to leave your comfort zone because your life would be find but it won't help you to climb to a better place. Challenge yourself and you will surprise with everything that you've got after you leave your comfort zone.

2. Think outside the box.
If you want to leave your comfort zone, you have to think outside the box. Make a list of something that you want to achieve and how to get there in so many possible ways.

3. Excercise more.
Excercise every morning could help you to get a spirit for a whole day. I love doing cardio and 8 minute abs every morning. It's pretty fun!

4. Surround yourself with inspiring people.
I read somewhere (I'm sure it's Pinterest but I forgot the source) that the 5 closest person to you could reflect yourself. So if you surrounded with the lazy people, there's a chance for you to be as lazy as they are. Being surround by people who wants to achieve their big dreams could inspire you to work even harder and you could even support each others. But don't worry, if your friends isn't have a huge ambition to reach their dreams, you could put it as an example that you don't wanna be like them, you have to be better. Get inspired with every little things around you.

5. If all fails, hang on and try again.
If you still have a bad day after you tried a lot of things, hang on.. don't stop trying. You're not the one who has a bad day. Try harder to make yourself happy, there's always a way and sometimes you don't realize what it is, you just have to figure it out with a clear mind.

Now that's the spirit and go beat your September!
