Basic White Shirt and Jogger Pants Styling

Who loves basic clothes raise your hands up!! We all know that basics can never go wrong, especially in casuality and in monochromes! Some people tend to be a little conservative in making outfit decisions, that's why monochrome casual style will never be fade out, they got huge fanatic fans! Are you one of them? ;)

I was wearing a basic white shirt from AmyGo and until know, it is unbelievably comfortable and beyond pretty! it is made from a soft paris cotton, so it is actually a semi sheer casual shirt, it is still apropriate to be worn to the office or campus. The material is beyond comfy. Sometimes, i have to admit that wearing white shirts are incredibly hot even though it is made from cotton, or i simply don't like the fitting on my body, it sometimes makes me hard to move my hands up (the shirt will go up too along with my hands, it doesn't staym pheew). As my hands drop, i have to rearrange my white shirt to stay fit on my skirt or pants.

This Ruby long sleeve shirt in white is also versatile like a crisp white shirt, don't you think? I recommend this as your best investment too in basics, you can just throw this piece on a blue jeans and voila! Effortlessly stylish. In this ruby shirt, i don't really need extra effort too on ironing because the fabric is a wrinkle- fabric type (which is good for casual shirts). Hooray, so much time savings! :D

Jogger pants is still on trend! I think i don't wanna be common in style, so i just picked this denim- fabric jogger pants, love it because it has washing texture, so it is not really plain! Best paired with plain tops or shirts like mine. It is super easy for you to try this style on, since jogger is every where now ;)

Basic white kicks is from Adidas Superstar. I have been eyeing white sneakers lately, and at first i was a little confused to decide whether i'd pick Nike's Roshe Run or Adidas Superstar. Turns out that i realised Roshe Run is quite mainstream for some people (and me), i ended up purchased the Adidas because it is slightly looks nicer on my feet rather than the roshe Run :) But....! I am still thinking to get myself the Roshe Run too, in other colors ;p

If you are interested in this outfit, you must try because it is veeeryyyy simple and super easy to be done. It also fits almost daily styles and yet, you can still use your favorite basics! Remember, you can also style basics with layerings techniques or adding acessorries. Don't forget to comment below and tell me what do you guys think! ;) Good luck!

See you on the next post!

Asean Youth Creative Industry Fair 2015

Hi everyone! I just went to an exciting event last week called AYCIF 2015 (Asean Youth Creative Industry Fair 2015). I tell you, i am such a 'decorative' person, hahaha. I'd always like to decorate, see something creative, make DIY projects, see art masterpiece, etc. Back then when i was at junior high school, i even cut my skirts' dresses turned into new clothes OR i simply transformed the boring clothes into something new that i love, like pencil case or coin pouch. I also make DIY cards when it comes to my parents' anniversary, best friend's birthday, my brother- sister's birthday. I find it so fun! Oh! My sister even do this creative thing WAY BETTER than me, i guess 10x times better! She is so talented in drawing, illustration, DIY projects and other creative ideas. If some of you are curious, you can find out more on her Instagram: @nvlarauana_draws :D

That's why, me and my sister are very excited to go to this event! We went there with my brother and mom of course! That day was very hot, i swear it is very hot. Jakarta's hot weather FYI ;p This event was located at Wisata Kota Tua Djakarta. It is where the famous Museum Fatahillah stands still too! I encourage my dear readers to also visit our local tourist place, it's exciting though ;)

Look at my brother's pose, i think it's creative enough rather than our pose, hahaha. You can fine a lot of mascots that can remind us in the past event in our country Indonesia, in the Dutch and Japanese era. The bicycle is very vintage, it is called Sepeda Ontel ;) The Mr. Mascot here is sooo lovely, he's so happy and cheerful to take photos with us. He didn't mind when we kept on repeating taking pictures. Hope to see you again, Mr!

Another mascots! All of them were so funny! You can see their funny faces in the pictures ;) By the way, the first photo they posed like they were all fascinated by me *LOL*, directed and commanded by my brother (again). Not all of them were fascinated by me though, hahaha! They are so lovely in their costumes, and the one in the left side is was in the role of Jenderal Sudirman. Do you know who Jenderal Sudirman is? If you don't, click this: Jendral Sudirman.

Canting

This is used when we apply the malam (candle liquid) on the fabric and started to draw. It easily dries, so the drawers must quick and soft at the same time in order to make the good draws.

Next stop! My sister was very excited baout this. WUNESCO website, "The techniques, symbolism and culture surrounding hand-dyed cotton and silk garments known as Indonesian Batik permeate the lives of Indonesians from beginning to end: infants are carried in batik slings decorated with symbols designed to bring the child luck, and the dead are shrouded in funerary batik"

e can learn how to draw Batik! (Membatik, in Indonesian language). As we know, Batik has been renowned by UNESCO as one of the world's heritage. Quoted from

So in order to love our nation, we also must know our culture and tradition first! Get know better about this batik will also enlarge our nationality, because Batik is one of our heritage that we must be proud of! In fashion industry, Batik plays a lot of role. Batik is chic, it can be transformed into such a magical haute couture gown, or can be transformed as daily wear too. Proud. 

Hot weather = ICE CREAM! my brother and i couldn't hold that day's weather. Too hot! So i decided to buy this ice cream that only costs IDR 5000. Unbelievably delicious and super cheap! Ended up buying 3 cones of ice cream for each of us, with mom and sister as well. Much sugar intake that day ;p

Have you realized too that i changed my hair color? :) Too bored with the old hairstyle, so i cut my bangs and make it red- brunette. next time, i think i'll try ombre ;)

Products above are beyond creative. The miniatures were made from resin. The face sculpture itself made me like 'whoah! Awesome!' and do you see that?? Jeweleries that made from Batik! Too awesome, i can't stand for it. It is made from ex-used Batik fabrics and the creative people behind this product changed into something useful and pretty such as statement necklaces, pins, bandana, etc. Major love. While being there, they actually were doing a workshop about how to make these jeweleries, and my sister participated ;)

Selfies with bro. My sister was busy drawing back there, so this time she didn't join ;p

Apparently, my brother asked me to take his OOTD pic hahaha. This time, i directed his pose :p Pretty nice isn't it? ;)

Got my grey midi cullotes from Sale Stock Indonesia. It's below IDR 100,000! What can be more awesome? Easily paired with stripes top. Hat is the must, the sun was so hot. By the way, i wore wedges because i was too bored wearing flat sandals. Wearing flats too often kind of make me like 'tired'. So i went using wedges instead ;)

Sale Stock Indonesia Lunch and Wine Pairing at Gastromaquia

Last week, i got invited from a friend of mine, Lucky Oetama and Sonya to come along to Sale Stock Indonesia event at Gastromaquia. for those who don't know yet, Sale Stock is an online fashion shop base in Indonesia that sells varieties of pretty clothes with super affordable price and great quality. Their tagline is "Baju Cantik, Harga Jujur, Kualitas Mall" or in English: "Pretty clothes, honest price, Mall- product Quality" interesting right? Read below to find out more! ;)

Me, Sonya and Ci Ines with the friendly crew from Sale Stock Indonesia 

Whoopss! A photographer caught us did selfies! ;p

Did a little chit chat about e-commerce with the CEO of Sale Stock Indonesia, Mr. Lingga! He is beyond friendly and awesome!

Sale stock itself comes up in Mr Lingga's mind when he saw a lot of fashion shops or brands (international/ domestic) sells variety  of clothes with a very high price, it reaches the double profit from its production cost. Mr Lingga wanted to make woman in Indonesia can shop clothes for being prettily dress- up without having trouble in their financial. That's why, he created Sale Stock Indonesia who provides a wide range of woman's wear product with very cheap and affordable price. Don't worry about the quality! He said. Not sure? You can prove it and direct click this link: www.salestockindonesia.com to check out! You can easily browse the products through the category. They have almost everything: jumpsuits, dresses, pretty tops and bottoms, even bags and sandls, you name it!

OHHHH almost forgot to tell you this exciting news! All purchases made in Sale Stock is include shipping delivery cost! What could be more awesome than that?? You can just easily pick up your favorite clothings without worrying ended up the final bill come out with higher amount of money you should pay. Double yayness for online shoppers! *wink*;)

That tempting oxtail. YUM! 

We began to eat our lunch. Gastromaquias provides delish food and yummy desserts. I chose vanilla panacotta for my dessert! Unfortunately, i forgot to take all of the food pictures. Too hungry that time, i admit, LOL.

They also have wine, so i chose re wine instead. The food was also nice, it makes me full but not making me bloating. The waitress were all nice!

The event continued with pretty models modelling fashionable clothes. Each of the guest were asked to write down our estimate price on a card given for the clothes the model's wearing. There was time when a model wears a cape blouse, most of the guests thought it will be cost at IDR 100,000 or more, but the truth is:.............. It costs only IDR 89,000,-! Whoaa, what a surprise reaction we got!  Way to go, Sale Stock Indonesia!

The event was so nicely packed, all of the crews were so humble and cheerful, i felt heart- warmed! Did you know that the customer service at Sale Stock Indonesia is ONLINE 24 hours?? Another great point to shop there, right? I remember the Zappos way to treat their customers. I am sure that Sale Stock Indonesia will be as success as Zappos! Their customer service is very fast, smart and very professional!

Wine, anyone? :)

We also meet new friends! Pretty ladies, Ci Ines and Ci Jessica Patricia. They are so likely-Korean! Pretty, stylish and friendly. I'm a fan <3<3
