Summer Festival that we've been waiting for is here! To be honest I saved my energy on day 1 because my only goal for this festival is to see The 1975 on the second day. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. We saw Rich Chigga and he's kinda dope! It was raining so hard on the evening and we missed a lot of show.
While we are waiting for Macklemore, we watched CL and I didn't expect to enjoy it because I rarely listen to K-Pop but her show was amazing. And after all, the greatest performance of the day goes to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. I have a goosebump during his performance, it was great and his stage act was unique. He's also really attractive with the fans and told about how he love Jakarta. The funniest thing is he throw us some donuts. If somebody successfully catch it, he will stay in Jakarta. Well, nobody could catch it.. The donuts land successfully to the ground, I guess.
Last week, I had a chance to witness Tex Saverio launch first couture show: AbsoluTEX at Raffles Hotel, Jakarta. I could say that this is one of the best fashion show that I have ever seen. Thing I love the most from this fashion show that it's not just about clothes, it was the combination between fashion, art, and everything in between. It was a theatrical fashion show and I have a goosebumps during the show.
Tex Saverio presents his collection called Trism. The collection was divided into three segments: Purity (White with amazing details, perfect for bride), Passion (with complex embroidery in black), and Evolution (Futuristic design with white and gold palette). He close his show with sculpted metal gown that he meant to be wear by invisible Goddess and of course, standing ovation from 1.500 people who witness this amazing moment.
I was really amazed and almost cried when they started their second segements, Passion because the first segments, Purity feels like they brought us to heaven and Passion brought us to hell. It was extremely wonderful.
Unfortunately, the photos I took doesn't come out with a great quality because I was busy to recorded the whole show. Yes, the whole show because I need to capture every second of it. Last but not least, congratulations for Tex Saverio! He successfully turned fantasy into reality.
I'm always excited for H&M and Coachella collaboration because Coachella is one of the biggest music festival and it's always interesting to see the fashion festival looks. This is the time when you could combine between fashion and music!
There a lot of things that you could pick from this collection. For girls, you could find fringed tops, crop top, print jumpsuits, and many more. For boys, you could find shirts and denim shorts. It's hard to pick my favorite but I end up bought the printed jumpsuit and crop top!
The printed jumpsuit is really comfortable, I rarely wear this kind of things but I want to try something new and I think I could mix the jumpsuit with a nice outer. It's easier to wear the crop top, I even wore it to my office. I combine it with a long outer and black Topshop pants. And if you want to wear it to a music festival, short pants will be a nice combination for the crop top. I'm glad I could bought H&M x Coachella collection right away because the collection sold out really fast. Not surprise at all because those are such a great collection.
Which one is your favorite piece from H&M x Coachella collection?
I just realize, I have a same green plaid shirt like Michael Clifford from 5 Seconds Of Summer. I decided to make this post and a little bit weird photos of my mirror selfie which I did at my office and Michael selfie which looks good. I bought this plaid shirt at H&M like 2 years ago, I guess. This is one of my favorite shirt because it's really comfy and it's so easy to style your plaid shirt. You could wear it as an outer or just wear it like Michael did. I wore size S and it's a little bit oversize on my body, sometimes I like to to bundle it just to get a different kind of style when I wear this shirt.
After all, who wore it better? Michael Clifford or me? Obviously Michael, you're the winner!
A few weeks ago, my friend and I went to Del'immo Patisserie. We're curious about their Japanese Pancake because as we browsed on the internet, it seems different than any other pancakes. Another thing which could make us drooling is chocolate with ice cream .Yes..I still speak about the pancake.
It was a casual kind of day, so I chose a simple grey long sleeve and high waist pants for our culinary trip. Actually, this top has a lace on the back, unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it. Well, maybe next time.
Anyway, we love that place, it's cozy. We spent a few hours as our tummy is extremely full. We love the pancakes, it full of chocolate and it doesn't taste like pancake, it taste more like a cake but we do really love the chocolate sauce along side with cafe mocha that I also order.
When it rains.. it's time to wear our favorite coat! I think that's my only reason to love the rainy season. I love to combine my coat with my black skinny jeans and of course a pair of boots. This is what I wore to work when the weather in Jakarta is a little bit too cold which is rarely happen anyway.
Move to another topic, a few days ago I posted a new acoustic cover of Castaway by 5 Seconds Of Summer! If you followed my social media, you might hear me talk about 5SOS over and over again in the past few weeks. I guess I'm in the mood because they just came to Jakarta and beside, in the past few years I've been really grateful for their existence because they are one of the reason that my fashion business grew pretty fast. So check out my new acoustic cover and let me know what you think.
I'm sure music save most of people's life. It would make you happy, it would cheer you up when you're sad, and even make you stronger when you're feeling down. Sometimes when you listen to your favorite song, it feels like the song was written for you. Have you ever feel like that? Because I did. The lyrics is describe your situation and that's when you realize you're not alone with your life situation, no matter how sad or happy you are. Some people also been there or maybe experience their worst day or best day as well. So here's 5 songs that sounds like it was written for my life.
1. Hey Everybody - 5 Seconds Of Summer
"we can't afford to give up, we gotta make our own luck..."
There was a moment that I thought my job isn't good enough for me or I want to give up with my dreams, etc or a moment when I'm really broke and don't know what to do. This song describe all of those days a lot and when I almost give up, I remember this song. 2. Ain't It Fun - Paramore
"Ain't it fun..living in the real world."
It's not as fun as I imagine, but it's pretty fun anyway! This is when I start to provide my own life, not depending on my parents anymore. This song describe my journey on my 20s.
3. Throne - Bring Me The Horizon
"So you can throw me to the wolves, tomorrow I will come back leader of the whole pack."
Betray, humiliate, and hurt..yes, I've been there. The funny thing is all of those crap that I've been through didn't make me fall down. I become a better person, even I have my whole squad on my side! Every lyrics on this song is 100% true!
4. Voodoo Doll - 5 Seconds Of Summer
"I don't even like you, why'd you want to go and make me feel this way? And I don't understand what's happened, I keep saying things I never say."
Another song by 5 Seconds Of Summer! This one is funny because this is how I felt last year and it's so true. Did they see my future when they wrote this song? I don't have to explain which part of my life that could relate with this song because every lyrics from this song is really describe my thoughts. Yes, that's exactly what happened in my life last year.
5. So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold
"How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned. Place and time always on my mind..I have so much to say but you're so far away."
When my grandma passed away, this song is stuck in my mind. It's hard for me not to think about her when I hear this song. This song always make me emotional from the very first time and as my grandma is gone as well, this song also have a special place on my mind.
That's my top 5 of the songs that was written for me (based on my thoughts of course, not the song writer). What about you? I would love to know, so feel free to write it on the comment box!
