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,

Whom Shall I Fear?

Hi Guys!

I really hope all of you are doing great, healthy and stay inspired. Life is beautiful! We just need to enjoy the ride and let go things sometimes. The most important is... To rely your life in God's hand.

Yes! This t-shirt says it all. As long as i have Jesus in my life, there's nothing to be afraid of. We just need to be afraid of God. Rely.. and surrender. Have faith and believe we are saved by grace! Fort Clothing has various range of t-shirts like this, reminding us how great is our God. Psst, speaking of the quality, i can tell you this is the best t-shirt by quality so far. The cotton is so soft and stretch, but it didn't go bulky after i washed it times. The color still remain the same like the first time. It is so fluffy. comfortable all the way!

"The fear of Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline" - Proverbs 1:7 - King James Version

I began to realize my life is turning upside down when i decided to be an entrepreneur. It is my goal, but the fact of being one is very challenging, and difficult sometimes. Your friends come and go, your enemy slaps you, even your closest friend mightr stab you from the back. As life goes on.. i learn to let go :) I learn to believe and surrender in God. Yes, i am nothing without God. I am able because God is able. Being an entrepreneur, juggling between college life, balancing life among family and friends, achieving dreams.. It is impossible to do by my own. I am able to be right where am i now because the grace of God. Thank You Lo9rd!

How to Rock Mullet Dress

Hi friends!

Ever know mullet skirt/ dress before? ;) It is a clothing with the front part shorter than the back. I simply say it is a twist, showing everyone the legs. I personally love this mullet dress from VARRA (Instagram: @varraofficial) because it is stunning with the geometrical prints and cute bow in front. It is already lavish, no extra accessories needed. Let the prints do the talk :)

The most awesome is, the dress is backless, instant sexy and glam wearing this piece. You gonna be a head turner when you walk across! When your mullet dress is already be a statement, keep the rest simple. I let my hair go straight, adding a black sling bag and dressed my feet with pointy heels. 

The fabric is soft and light.. As i walk and move, it swings gracefully and boosting up my confidence level. Clearly because i feel like a powerful woman in this dress! Bold, strong, sexy and smart.

Pointy Heels - Bershka

Black Sling Bag - Charles & Keith

When it comes to show up my legs, my favorite is to go with lace up heels or pointy heels. Not just they create longer looking legs, but they make your feet look leaner, taller, sexier. Yet, the mullet dress will also make the statement with a help of great pair of shoes. 

Now you are ready to work the mullet dress! Even my mom loves it too as she wore it to the wedding ;p Hop over to Instagram @varraofficial to find more awesome clothing and dresses!

Scrub Inc: Natural Coffe Body Scrub

Hi everyone!

Just gave a try for Scrub Inc (Instagram: @scrubinc) natural coffee body scrub, home made and fresh! I am not into scrubbing kind of girl, but when i tried the scrub.. It is exceptional. Usually, what i dont like from body scrubbing is the feeling of too greasy, slippery on my skin, so it left me the whole day feeling like i haven't washed away the soap clearly!

Turned out, the scrub here is very easy to be washed away. What i love the most is, we don't need to wait minutes doing nothing sitting on the toilet until the scrub is 'absorbed' to the skin, just like another usual scrub!! Coffee body scrub from Scrub Inc lets us immediately wash out all the scrubs on our body. 

Coffee Body Scrub- before i drop the water

Just drop a little amount of water, so the scrub will not be too soft. The function of the scrub should make your skin feel smooth and clean, that's why, you don't need to put too much water! I dropped 1 teaspoon of water here, stir it all around and swipe it all over my skin, and started to scrub!

Loving the texture and the smell as well! It left my skin smooth, clean and not greasy, but still feeling beautiful because i feel like i have treated my body well. Scrub Inc is very recommended!!

Silverish Blue Casual Kebaya

Hello again friends!

This is my first post on August. Sorry for a long hiatus, i finally have submitted my final thesis paper!! The journey hasn't ended yet, because i'm waiting for my thesis defense schedule to be out. So now i am on a short holiday at my home, keeping myself busy with working and.. blogging!!

I am preparing AmyGo New Arrival to be out this week.. and been crazily busy!! Barely got no time for business when you are on thesis.. But thank you God for making me able, because You are able! So excited to reveal the whole collection. Stay tune on www.amygostore.com! ;)

I love wearing Kebaya, that's why i created this modern shape of Kutubaru Kebaya. I am wearing the newest color, it's silverish blue, so pretty! Paired mine with powder blue lace skirt from the previous collection too!

The pearl brooch adds instant elegance, while still being chic. When it comes to elegance, i always opt simplicity. This pair of white block heels is great to compliment the outfit! It is modern, sleek and simple. Let the Kebaya make the statement!

The flare silhouette of the Kebaya blouse is also playful and cute. Versatile for daily wear with jeans, and simply chic enough to go on formal occasion. I am terrified and thrilled that all colors of this Kutubaru Kebaya is sold out- more than 400 pcs already. Thank you, thank you so much beloved customers!
