Since the weather is a bit unpredictable nowadays, it's kinda hard to tell what's to wear today? Just like the day I went to the park, it was a little sunny and windy at the moment. Since I didn't want to get sick just because of the wrong outfit, I opted to wear this mustard knitwear from Femme Luxe Finery. The good thing about this knitwear is the material is not too thick for tropical country yet its still breathable and warm at the same time. Sooooo.. yeah, in case the weather got rainy and cold, I was still okay, if the sun chose to come out I was still okay either. So this item is my win-win solution. Hahaa. Anda FYI, I've been eyeing to get myself a co ords from the site for the next shopping season. XD

Andddddd good news! Femme Luxe Finery is holding huge SALE (up to 60% OFF)!!!!! You might wanna check them out while still lasts! To be honest, they are one of the most hassle-free online store with numerous choices you can't get enough of. It's worth checking ;)

Another piece that I got from Femme Luxe Finery. And this time is probably my most favorite because its lounge wear sets a.k.a sportswear! Wohooo. Since sweatpants is my daily uniform, I've been wearing this pants separately many times now and haven't got bored. I just love the material (just like other pieces, they're definitely incredible. No kidding!). This time I paired them with waistbag to make standout look. What do you think? =)

Anyway, Femme Luxe Finery is currently having a big SALE on the site (up to 60% OFF)!!!!! In case you want to take apeek on their item, this is the best time!

Though people may hate rainy days, I'm one of the guy who love it so much. I still remember when I was a kid, my brothers and I always go outside to take a bath under heavy rain. We will chase the waterfall made by the roof. It was totally fun! And don't worry, we weren't naked. Lol.

Fast forward, though I don't chase waterfall nowadays, I still feel happy everytime the sky turn gloomy and seems about to cry. It means I can pull out my warmer clothes outside the cupboard. And this time, I'm testing out this Neon Lime Knitted Oversized Polo Neck Jumper from Femme Luxe Finery (you can also get ribbed lounge wear sets from the site too!) The neon color just right to brighten the gloomy days, don't you think so? =) And as I said in my previous post, Femme Luxe Finery provides UK made clothes so you won't be disapointed with the quality! I really love this oversize sweater, wohoooo! =D

Are you "travel light" team or "travel complete" team? XD You know how packing can be such a problematic in our daily basis. I used to love carrying backpack in years ago, but now for the sake of my back (LOL) I prefer luggage over backpack.

I guess as you get older, you will seek comfort over tag price, HAHAHAAA. And plus, I love to bring many shoes, so it will more well organize if I choose luggage. Luckily, luggage is now available in such cute colors, no longer plain grey and boring black only =p And I got mine, this blue luggage from Exsport, not sure if it's still available but you can check it here for more options!

Anyway, one of my blogging resolution this year is to write more. Aaaaannnndddd here we go, I guess I failed in the first month, LOL. It's pretty hard to keep the balance between offline and online world, don't you think so? Or is it just me? Feeling a little bit upset but hey, there are still 11 months to go! *spirit*whistle*strongarms* LOL.

Aloha, people!

Gimana, masih pada sehat kan? =)

Oke, jadi di blog post kali ini, aku mau berbagi sedikit tips tentang "how to style batik shirt" bagian pertama (well, let's just hope there will be another round, lol).

As you guys might know, or not, I was born in Central Java and moved to Jogja (salah satu kota produsen batik) when I was college until now, so somehow batik bukanlah hal asing dalam kehidupanku sehari-hari sejak dulu.

Pokoknya kalau ada acara yang mengharuskan penampilan sedikit lebih rapi, pasti baju batik pilihannya. Hahaa.

Tapi lumayan sedih, karena meski sangat akrab dengan baju batik, ternyata cukup sulit juga pada saat itu untuk nge-mix match batik as whole outfit. Apalagi kalau dipakenya dengan gaya itu lagi, itu lagi, kan bosen yaaa :p

So that's how I ended up with this post, to help you, and as my reminder, yang bisa dijadikan referensi buat nge-mix match batik dengan lebih baik dan bervariasi. Heheee.

So I hope this post helps!

Oke, kali ini batik yang aku pakai adalah baju batik dengan model berkancing seperti kemeja pada umumnya, tetapi memiliki jenis kerah seperti baju cheongsam. Kalau kemeja batik kalian model berkerah biasa, it's totally okay!

Jadi tips pertama dan utama-ku adalah don't waste your clothes! Karena kita bisa berkreasi dengan baju yang ada, plus untuk mengurangi tumpukan baju tak terpakai yang ada di lemari, right? Recycle, recycle, recycle!

Kebetulan kemeja yang aku gunakan juga bukan item baru. I got it few years ago, and still keep them in a very good condition. Selain itu, dress yang aku gunakan juga bukan item baru loh! =)

Tips kedua, karena aku ingin menghindari penggunaan "item biasa" seperti memadukan kemeja dengan rok/celana, jadi aku menghapus opsi "celana dan rok" di sini. Sudah terlalu mainstream kan ya, pairing shirt with pants and skirts. Kali ini aku memilih dress tanpa lengan sebagai pasangan kemeja batik-ku! Kenapa dress tanpa lengan? Karena kemeja batik-ku memiliki detail frill sedikit pada bagian lengannya, so it's time to show them up! Tonjolkan kelebihan baju batik yang kamu punya, baru deh mencari pasangannya =)

Tips ketiga, right shoes! Sebagai pecinta heels, tentu gak lengkap kalau udah merasa keren tapi gak memilih sepatu kesayangan. Eits, tapi tunggu dulu, karena kita mau compliment baju batik kita, jadi pilih sepatu yang akan menonjolkan batik kita, bukan sepatu yang jadi point of attention, ya! :D Sebenernya saat memilih heels aku sedikit agak dilema antara heels hitam ini, atau yang warna coklat dengan model yang hampir sama. Tapi, karena batik-ku berwarna coklat tua, akhirnya aku memilih heels hitam ini supaya lebih "ngadem" dan menonjolkan motif batik yang sedang aku pakai. 

Tips keempat, right bag! Nah, karena aku sudah memilih heels warna hitam, gak mungkin dong aku pakai tas warna hitam juga, karena hal ini akan"menimbun" keindahan batik. Jadi, aku memilih tas handmade dari eceng gondok yang diproduksi oleh Eichrasi. Ini produk asli Kalimantan loh, buatan tangan, handcraft! Kebetulan aku dapat tas ini dari sahabat-ku, Penta, yang berasal dari Kalimantan juga. Hehee. Thank you so much, baby! Berkat kado ini, aku bisa mendapatkan whole outfit yang sempurna!

Gimana pendapat kalian tentang outfit-ku kali ini? Lumayan gak membosankan, kan? =) Jadi yoook, berkreasi dengan baju batik yang ada di rumah dengan cara yang tidak biasa! Selamat berkreasi =)

For some certain reasons I have to postpone my "Island Life" blog post, ha, blame those bunch of photos that need to be sorted :p Right now, I'm in the phase where I have too much salty hair and sands on my feet. So, I need a break from the holiday thingies and get my ass back to "real" life. LOL.

Well it feels great tho, to be able to spend hours in front of computer just to replying emails, watching funny videos, or reading on my favorite bloggers. And days ago, I took this opportunity to catch sunset around the park. Actually I was accidentally find the place just in time for golden hour, so I didn't prepare to have outfit shoot or else, but it happened. Bu hey, it turned out okay, for me at least. My lazy outfit screams for my heart, hahaa, sweater, jeans, sneakers, and messy ponytail are just the break I need from sweet bikini thingies. LOL. Sometime spontaneous action is just what we need to deal with life. No much thinking and more doing. Who's with me???
