Very Purple Person

Today, i came across one of my sister's bestfriend facebook page, mbak Novitha Estiti. She used to work with my sister as a fashion stylist in one of the most prestigious magazine in Indonesia. Now she lives in Japan with her little adorable family. My sister always said that she's the coolest bestfriend she ever had, and i feel the same. She likes to post these photos about her sewing works in Japan, it always appeared on my home timeline but i haven't had the time to check it. So today when the post appears on my home screen i clicked it, and found the most awesome handmade clothing ever! the cutting and the patterns are unusual and unique, and she sew it all on her own. She's also made cute clothings for her husband and her adorable son Sidra. Do check her page on http://www.facebook.com/novitaestiti

 

my sister

after seeing my previous works (of me and kamila) my sister wants me to take her photos too. so yesterday we'd done this crazy photo session at home wearing our wardrobe and props. after that we went to my newest fave cafe (thanks to nindia satiman) NEVER BEEN BETTER to edited my work. I'm happy that my sister and her friends (who also came hanging out with us) complimented my work, such a huge relief for me coz they aint rookie.

I've been thinking, for the very first time in my life, yesterday i finally found out what i want to do with my life. i wanna be a photographer, specifically in fashion. I'm no good in capturing moments, but I'm good at capturing human's essence. this is something I've been passionated about for a very long time. I've started this hobby since highschool, i even used to get paid from my friends when they asked me to taking their photos. I've been struggling and dying inside when this hobby stops due to college, but now since I've started it again, i feel alive. i practically grew up in the fashion industry influenced by my sister who has been working in the industry since i can remember. heck, I've been in pages of seventeen magazine several times when in junior high school. i live & breathe for this.

my dad, sisters, bestfriends (mila & reva) and also boyfriend has been really supportive about this hobby of mine. sometimes when i felt insecure because some people tend to looked down on me because i didn't have the fancy gadget, they said it doesn't matter what camera you use, it's the photos that counts. to be honest, i didn't even use a DSLR camera, this is just my digicam (who's going to die and cannot be use anymore pretty soon) and my photoshop skill. but who am i to judge myself? all i know that i wanna finished college as fast as i can and then work in this field. amen.

1978

yesterday's photo shoot with my bestfriend kamila. photographed and edited and also styled by me. my sister said they looked like editorial photos from the 70's, so that's where the title came from.

multiculturalisme dans le monde de la mode

My poster for la semaine de la francophonie event held by the departement of France and the ambassador of France. the theme is "multiculturalism in the world of fashion". multiculturalism has been a huge issue in France until today. many immigrants over the years has moved in and out the country. they have suffered many ratial and discrimination issue in every level and aspect of life. by making this poster i wanna show the world that diversity can go along with unity, even in Paris, the capital of fashion world, where beauty determines by body size and golden-ratio shape of face. Anyone can be models or designers, involved in the high fashion industry, no matter what nationality and skin color they are.

I'm sticking with you

Sunday morning, didn't know what to do... so i just take a picture of my treasures

my polyvore

I'm back in polyvore world after loooong hiatus. this website getting more and more addicting. yo;u should try it on www.polyvore.com ;)

con-vi-vi-um

went to my annual high school "arisan" at convivium, this new Italian restaurant (cucina italiana) which i instantly fell in love with the place since first time i entered the door. and then one of my friend's birthday dinner. the dress code was "colorful" and i couldn't think of anything to wear. my formal clothes was all black, white, or "old" tone color. so i pulled this casual dress that I've bought from last year but didn't have the chance to wear it until now. when i arrived at the dinner, everybody was dressing up formally. i was so embarrassed to see I'm the only one there to dressed casually. but as the night goes by, many people showing up and there's a girl who's wearing tee and shorts. i don't' feel so ashamed anymore.

anyway, i injured my toe couple of days before, it really hurts to just even walk. i know I'm exaggerating, but it hurts like hell. I'm taking a chance by wearing heels and was so afraid that i would make my injured toe hurts even more. but thank God nothing bad happened. i also met couple of friends that i haven't met for a long time, and they all said that i'm getting bigger/fatter. oh my god i should really start to lose some weight!!!

Best-dressed celebrities of 2010

this is the list of best-dressed celebrities of 2010 according to teen vogue and some comments from me. the original list contains approximately 50 hollywood's A-listers but i narrowed it down to just ten. i know i'm not a fucking "someone" in the fashion industry, this is just my point of view as an average girl who likes flipping through fashion magazines and fashion websites. i'm not a copy cat and i'm smart enough not to follow every style i've seen because i know that i'm not looking good in it. i have my own style, i like it simple and classy, and there are days when i'm not in the mood so i just put on a tee, jeans, and sandals. but having a fashion-stylist slash editor sister, i know what's tacky and what's not in the fashion world. okay, enough about me, so here it is :

#1 ALEXA CHUNG --> Couldn't agree more. never see her go wrong with her style, always love how she put on clothes, and loving her messy hair and minimum make-up.

#2 EMMA ROBERTS --> Agree! althought i'm not seeing her much, but i think she's pretty and all of her clothes are also pretty.

#3 CAREY MULLIGAN --> loving her pixie-cut hair! tres petite & tres belle. is she dating Jake Gyllenhaal? i saw them together at the golden globe. they look cute together :3

#4 KATE BOSWORTH --> as always.

#5 LEA MICHELE --> Despite her annoying character as Rachel Berry on Glee, i still find her very beautiful and couldn't argue that her voice is mind-blowing (althought some people find it irritating). i like her preppy look on glee and her classy style in real life.

#6 CAMILLA BELLE --> Ooh sweet girl crush of mine and Rizkiansyah. the first time he asked me out we watched 10.000 BC where Camilla plays in it. me and Rizki was like "oh my god CAMILLA! I love her!" at the same time (weird things we had in common), her style is never wrong.

#7 KRISTEN STEWART --> EEEWWW i'm not quite agree with this one. infact, i'm not agree at all with anyone who thinks this girl is sexy. i even didn't wanna talk about her in my blog. so move aside bitch, yes this is totally personal.

#8 TAYLOR SWIFT --> Sweet girl next door Taylor. nice voice, cute style, pretty face, sweet personality. she got the whole package.

#9 OLIVIA PALERMO --> i gotta be honest that i didn't really know this girl and what she have done in the hollywood film industry, but i can tell ya that i didn't really like her style in this picture.

#10 RACHEL BILSON --> as always.
