What to Wear on Weekend?

Weekend is coming, have you prepared a slay outfit? ;)

Weekend usually packed in hang outs, night out with besties, or a date. Shopping and gorceries might included! In such many activities like that, we have to manage to always look weekend ready. Not too plain, but still have the stylish side. This outfit is perfect for almost every occasion in weekend. Whether you are having fun or working, go to cinemas, have a fancy dinner, afternoon tea and snacks, the list goes on.

Black outfit never goes wrong! I added this geometric legging to add instant playful look onto my outfit. It is simply because i feel like it is too mainstream and plain if it is just a black outfit. FYI, i had this leggings for almost.... 4 years! Hahaha, talk about mix and match! We don't always buy new things to make ourselves look fashionable. We can rewear and restyle them!

Comfortable heels is a must. When at the day you wanna go shopping or casually hang out with friends, this black outfit will work. When you wanna continue to the night out.. Just take off the hat and put on red lipstick and a purse! If you feel more dress up, just add on a smokey eye make up. Instant ready, this outfit is very easy to pull!

My tips for picking up black top: go for the unique one. Either play with the textures or the cutting. It makes your outfit less plain and less boring too. I love the sheer part of my top, it goes very flowy and light as i walk through. Instant drama whenever i step into a room ;)

I always add a unique and feminine touch, so i added this unique chain necklace from Environmental Jewelry. It is made from rice!!! How cool is that! Proud to wear Indonesian local brands.

Add a hat for more edgy and stylish look :)

Keep it casual and always add your personality into your outfit. Your confidence will also help you feel better and more bautiful. Just relax, get dress up and be happy! Life supposed to be enjoyed, too blessed to be stressed.

Have a wonderful weekend ahead loves!

GUESS Fall Product Launching with Cleo Magazine

Good evening friends! Blogging time right now, and just gonna share an event i attended weeks ago. It is packed and super fun: GUESS Fall Product Launch at its retail store at Kota Kasablanka Mall. There were the fashion show, but too bad i came a little bit late so i can't snap more! Heavy traffic as usual in Jakarta.

Nude handbags, anyone? I love it so much, and was thinking whether to buy or not... Because the color is so pretty! I personally also love the size of the bag: not too big or too small, just the perfect size for my daily activities. Another crush is this bag has a long strap, making this bag even more wearable. Gotta sya this one is my favorite pick :)

My outfit during the event, a coat that i love so much! I wore it as a dress and decided to go a little bit edgier this time. I was still sticking to the feminine side by using heels and classic chain bag ;) A pair of nice choker adds instant chicness!

The event was also completed by Ron's Laboratory, an ice cream brand that serves Nitrogen ice cream, a well known and popular ice cream brand here in Jakarta i guess :) It is so delicious!

How to Rock the Current Trend: Military Chic Look

Do you realized that army freen and military ensembles frequently seen a lot nowadays? YES! It's been a huge trend and it is really adaptable for fashion. Not just it is chic, but the color somehow is iconic. Army and military look don't have to be too grunge, or too fierce, because we can adapt the trend into our personal style!

Here is my way to style the current trend and how to get chic with it....

I mix 2 hype items together: lace up tops and bomber jacket!! Lace up tops are sexy, feminine and chic while the bomber jacket adds instant fierce and tough to the look. I wore less accesorries here, just matched with the same tone tote bag and classy nude heels.

I felt like i am too skinny if i just wear the knit ribbed top with black skinny pants, so i added the jacket, that's why :D Turned out that this combo is super fashionable and super comfortable!!! I found myself productively working in this kind of outfit.

Bomber Jacket - ADIDAS

Black Skinny Jeans - HM

The bomber jacket is my favorite since the first time i own it, 6 years ago!! It is a present for my mom, and love the color so much! Military and army inspired look don't have to be in one color palette, we can always be free mixing colors! It can be white, nudes, denim colors, monochrome colors, even bright colors! Endless possibility.

Speaking about being chic and fashionable in military and army inspired look... I always wonder, pray and believe about peace in this world. There are parts of this world that is struggling to find peace... War is everywhere! War isn't just among countries, but war frequently be in our heart. We keep war with friends, family and others. Even we struggle to fine peace in ourselves.

Hope and try the best to let go things, be kind to every one and don't let anger control you! Anger is not a solution for peace, but love and compassion will do.

How to Spice Up Monochrome Outfit

I don't know why i dress up lately in monochrome! I am usually a colorful person when it comes to outfit. Not funky, but i do love wear colors. This time i opted monochrome style, turned out that it is very chic and can be lovely too!

Here are some tips to dress up in monochrome, but not in a boring way!

1. Keep the outfit simple can be great. Less is more! I chose to wear this Layla multiways top from AmyGo (www.amygostore.com) in broken white and transformed it into a one- shouldered top. It is actually an off shoulder top, but can be styles up to 4 different styles!!

2. Go total in monochrome sometimes is fun! Total black- white- grey make the whole look synchronized in a color palette.

3. Use Accesorries
I love choker so much! It gives a longer looking neck illusion, while still being chic and sassy. Choker can be a good option if you want to wear something that shows up your shoulder.. Say sabrina tops, tube tops, spaghetti tanks, and so on. Silver bangles and earrings to keep the oyfit less plain.

4. Pay Attention to Details
Even though you can go simple with monochrome outfit, it is always fun when you choose unique fabrics/ texture to your outfit. It can be your top, pants, bags, shoes, etc. Be fun and fearless1 I chose to put my pleated long cullotes and loving it so much because it gives me leaner body shape :p

5. Easy Shoes/ Statement Shoes
Since it is a monochrome theme.. Shoes can be simple or extravagant! The choice is yours ;) I put on my black pointy heels to make my legs look extra long and leaner!

Invited as a Speaker at Invasion Start Up School by Bong Chandra

Hello friends!

I am very honored to be invited as one of the Coach for Invasion Start Up School by Bong Chandra, along with my fellow talented friends! This event was held on Saturday, 28 August 2015. So happy to inspire and sharing my journey in business with my friends here!!

I always say that being an Entrepreneur takes courage. We gotta have an entrepreneurial mindset, which is on fire, persistent, discipline, tough, and creative. Although some things are difficult, but it's not impossible thing to do.

Being an Entrepreneur at young age takes efforts, but also joy! Beccause i am still young, i don't need to be afraid of risks. Risks are there, there will always be risks, but it is better to nail them rather not taking it. I started my business in fashion because i love fashion. Simply because i love styling so much. I wanna dress up women to be pretty, good looking and feel confident. The beauty purpose is how a woman can feel beautiful in herself, ready to conquer the world. Fashion is involved a lot in confidence.

To Steven, my partner in almost everything! Thank you for your endless support and love! Thank you for believing in me and push me to do better. You are also willing to help and share new ideas. Thought things, brighten up my days, love me and.... photograph all these photos hahahaha! So alive to be able to spend days with you!

With Kalin (left) and Rindang (middle), my girlfriends with strong mindset and persistence. They are also the Coach for this class teaching about start up and businesses. I can say that these girls are powerful, i learn a lot every time i meet them. They are just enchanting, the beauty sparks out every time they speak, act and do. I am a fan of them!

Especially to all of the girls here.. They are my constant supporter! The woman in the far left is Ci Kristin, who always support me from the beginning of my business journey. When others are not there, she's there! She is my role model, my advisor and my life mentor. Marsela and Retha are also the ones who keep buying AmyGo's items, promote it and wear it proudly, hahaha LOL! Love you all! Thank you for being my friends!

I said:

We always have choice to choose between the fine thin line: being optimistic, or being pessimistic. I just wanna go to the first choice!"

It's true. We are the one who limit ourselves to do awesome things. We limit our capacity, in our own cup, not by God's cup. We keep on traping ourselves saying "i can't" rather than "i can". Of course i wanna be can! So let's just start to be able to say "I Can!!" ;)

Cheers,
