MY 2017 SUMMER OUTFIT DIARY

MY 2017 SUMMER OUTFIT DIARY

Sunday, September 24, 2017

Hey Loves!

How's your summer holiday this year? I sure hope you enjoyed every bit of your summer bliss this year, because i sure do. Summer ended much quicker than i anticipated, i wished summer would go on for much longer, summer vacation i mean. Who doesn't right?

This summer i went back to my favorite city, Saint Tropez. Which is located in the coastline of the southeast corner of France. If you read my last year's SUMMER OUTFIT DIARY I'm sure you know. Although last year i only visited Saint Tropez for a brief moment, because i stayed in Cannes the longest. I promise myself that i would go back here as soon as possible! And now here i am, in the city i fell in love with. My favorite country in the world would be France. There's just something about France that screams romance, journey, classic and culinary. The city that describe me the most? I can't describe just how beautiful France is to me. 

This summer were probably the most hectic vacation ever. I frequently move from one place to another every one or two days. I stayed the longest in Saint Tropez, for about 3 days. Since i went to a lot of places, see a lot of things, on-off airplane ride, i get to learn something new and it was all worth it, despite my tired and grumpy self. 

So, here's my...

Tips for those who's going to a busy SUMMER vacation with commercial airlines:

Before going to the list, keep this in mind.. You're going for a vacation which has a busy schedule and it requires you to move around frequently.

1. You have to know that you have to pack light. 

Because when your luggage is too heavy you certainly have to pay for the extra weight; IT COST SO MUCH! And if the luggage is too big, it wont fit in the car - some city only have small cars. What if you can't pack light? (like me) try as hard as possible to get rid of unnecessary things like: 

a. Don't bring many swimsuits - bring one or two the most.

b. Use travel size containers for both make-up and toiletries.

c. Mostly bring clothes that are functional - e.g. plain t-shirt; for sleep and going out. ;)

d. Make sure to dry your wet clothes.

2. Prepared for all weather changes - at least bring one sweater could be black or white(choose a color that matches with your current wardrobe. Even though it summer, it could get chilly at night. And some cities/countries have a strong wind.

3. Bring a carry-on luggage - it will give you extra space when your luggage does not fit anymore. And could be handy if you decide to go somewhere for a day trip(so you don't have to bring your big luggage).

4. Bring a portable luggage weight scaler - weigh your luggage prior going to the airport. So you know if your luggage is over weight, you can move some things to your cabin luggage or throw out unnecessary things.

5. Last but not least, DO NOT OVER PACK. - Remember, you'll always going to buy some things during your vacation. Could be gifts, clothing, food, etc. Its good to save an extra space.

P.S. for more tips about going to a tropical place, you could head to my previous blog post!

NOW, its a part where i show you my summer outfit!

Thank You for sparing your time to take a peek at my blog. Very much appreciated. See you on my next blog post!

BALI TRIP EDITION 2: OUTFIT TRAVEL DIARY

BALI TRIP EDITION 2: OUTFIT TRAVEL DIARY

Tuesday, May 9, 2017

Hey Loves! I went to Bali again! I don't think i'll never get bored of Bali. Anyways, how are you? I'll assume its been great. Mines been terrific! This time i went to Bali with my cousins and my grandma. Its a Grandmumu(that's what i called her) and grandchildren holiday! And what makes it so fun is; the 7 grandchild(including me) are coming. ITS A FULL HOUSE! Its been awhile since we gather together for a trip. Since we are all busy with school. But FINALLY, we got around to that.

So, here's my next tip for tropical island get-away:

1. Aloe Vera - It cools/heals sunburns, also moisture dry skins. My cheeks are so itchy after i spend a quite evening on the beach. I thought i am no match for the water in Bali, but then i figured, when i was a kid, i went through the same thing. And its because of the sunburns and my face wasn't properly moisturized. SO, Aloe Vera helps!
2. Bring your own towel(s) - You'll never know when you'll need a towel. You might not like the towels that the hotels provide, or even when you go to small unpopular places, they might not provide a towel. Having a clean towel is a necessary!
3. Swimsuits - (obviously) you'll always need a swimsuit when you're in Bali. Even when you think you don't. Cause, you'll never know when you 'feel' like hopping to a swimming pool or swim at the beach.

Just like what i promised before, more pictures are available on this post!

My grandma loves florals, as well as growing them. All her houses has gardens, even if its small. This house in Bali, has a small garden but it already feels like a secret garden. My gingham off the shoulder top are from Vintage Treasure Bali. A brand from Germany but manufactured in Bali. 

Lovin' my eyelike sunglasses strap paired with my ENKI Eyewear.

Hope you enjoy reading my outfit blog post!

BALI TRIP EDITION: OUTFIT TRAVEL DIARY

BALI TRIP EDITION: OUTFIT TRAVEL DIARY

Sunday, May 7, 2017

Hey Loves!
I know its a long overdue post 1 month? tehee. But I had a wonderful time in Bali during my spring break holiday. It was such a wonderful yet short trip, 4 days and 3 nights. I went to Bali with my school friends, to ease our mind before the upcoming exams. It is our last holiday together before we graduate high school! Sad isn't it? I did not really plan my outfit, i think packing last minute has become my habit since winter, hmm. But i ended up loving my outfit, though!

I decided to include a 'Quick Reminder/Tips' for travel related post. I assume its, fun and resourceful? I hope you liked it.

So here's my.....

Quick fashion-outfit related things to bring bring to a tropical island;

1. Always bring at least a pair of sunglasses - Each sunglasses will give a total different look of your outfit! And there's always a spare one to top of your look if one's did not cut the look.

2. A statement hats - Either floppy hat (fun fact; its typically made out of paper!!) or a fedora hat, would be perfect to top off your outfit!

3. Cute sandals - sandals are mandatory pieces for the tropical island, prevents your foot from all that sweat.
4. Current favorite, bandanas! - to hold your hair to the back. very useful when you have a bad hair day (duh, its obvs. HOT) but still want to let your hair down. + it accessorized your hair. fashion 101.

To my unplanned outfit and not summer-ready body...
Thank You for still supporting my look and let dem outfits wrap my body well.

As you can see, i don't have much outfit to show. Did not took a lot of outfit pictures. BUT, i went back to Bali just a couple days ago, and took loads of picture. Stay tune for the upcoming post!!

-DETAILS-

Outfit #1:
Dress: ZARA | Sunglasses: DUMA Official | Bag: CELINE | Sandals: ET Club Bali
Headpiece: HERMES

Location: Sundays Beach Club, Uluwatu, Bali.

Outfit #2:
Sunglasses: Rayban | Sandals: CELINE | Pants: &OtherStories | Bag: CELINE | Top: SEEDS
Scarf: Alexander McQueen | Headpiece: HERMES

BALI TRIP EDITION: WHAT'S IN MY BAG?

BALI TRIP EDITION: WHAT'S IN MY BAG?

Tuesday, April 4, 2017

Bags are the most fundamental thing to bring along during your trip. Not only to complete your outfit, but also to carry your precious little things. I like to keep it simple, means i try to not carry a lot of things with me when i'm traveling. I tend to only bring what i really need for the day. And it depends on the seasons and where i am traveling!

This time, i'm traveling to Bali, a tropical island. Where I spend most of my days going to the beach or chilling at the villa, OR per usual-food culinary! The most visited tourist-y area in Bali would be Seminyak and Kuta. Full of restaurants and little shops. So i would say, this trip is not a typical holiday trip. Me and my friends did not really go to lots of places, we called this trip a 'chill' trip. Schedules are very flexible and no-much place we want to go. Its just a trip to ease our mind from a hectic life back in Jakarta(exams are coming!!).

Quick reminder of what you should bring at all times;

1. Your Phone - obvious right? you use it to text, call, take pictures, browsing, etc. Its basically YOUR whole life in a small gadget. 

2. Wallet/Money/Cash - Identity card is a very crucial thing! +carry some cash, you'll always need it when cards wont do.

3. Powerbank - you cant have your phone dying while you're traveling, right? Especially if you're traveling during summer or to a tropical island. (dem brightness ALWAYS drains your battery)

SO, LETS UNVEIL WHAT'S INSIDE MY BAG!

Just like what i told you, there's not much going on inside my bag. I may have lied a little, i actually forgot to bring my powerbank, so i had to borrow my friend's everyday (oops! sorry Meisya & Vinka!!). And i actually brought a couple of sunglasses, not one. The sunnies i featured on the picture, that's the one i use most of the time. Other than that, that's pretty much what's in my bag. 

Tech: 

My Leica SOFORT, powerbank and earphone. I've been loving taking polaroid pictures, i think its the best type of instant picture. You cant edit it, nor take a lot of it. For me, instant camera like polaroid, is the best tool to capture a 'real' moments. As for powerbank, traveling to a tropical island like Bali, i often taking pictures using my phone and the brightness level is full(otherwise i cant see anything on my phone) and it drains the battery soooo quick-powerbank saves my battery!! I stayed in Seminyak, it takes around 30-45 minutes by car to go to Kuta or Uluwatu, earphones is very-much needed to listen to your favorite songs!

Beauty:

I don't really use make-up when the weather is hot. All i use is brow wiz for my eyebrows and lipstick. To protect my skin i use a little bit of toner after washing my face. Brought along my brow wiz and lipstick for touch-up only.

Small Purses and Accessories:

Brought two wallets with me this trip! The Prada ones are for my cash and the Saint Laurent ones are for my small changes and cards.

Earphone - Apple (here)

Camera - Leica SOFORT (here)

MY LAZY WINTER OUTFITS

MY LAZY WINTER OUTFITS

Wednesday, March 1, 2017

This winter i traveled to quite lots of places; Tokyo, Niseko, Sapporo, New York and L.A. I spent most of my time in Japan, because me and my family loved it here. I mean, i love the other countries i've been to, but Japan offers the best food and shopping, i think.

This winter holiday, i don't know why, but i under-pack although my luggage is very-very full. I only brought 2 pants; white denim jeans and black ripped jeans. Both are very much NOT suitable for the winter season. :) I wasn't really paying attention while packing(very unlike me, i'm a very thorough packer.) but this time i think i was really busy and tired, so i just brought the things i currently wear/use the most(remember; Jakarta is basically summer all year long. read; very HOT) so clearly, its very-not suitable for winter. But, i somehow make it work. Although, i bought some jeans and culottes along the way, but i survived the first 1 and a half week!!

P.S. Japan is much colder than NY, so i struggled a lot, because i wasn't expecting the temperature would be that cold and windy.

Quick packing tips for a lazy packer:

1.  REMEMBER how many days you're going to be in a trip for.

2. REMEMBER the SEASON. ++ check weather forecast!!

3. Pack chronologically; from head to toe for the outfits and then pack other essentials

(chargers, bath stuffs, etc.)

4. For winter especially; bring VACUUM BAGS. (It will save you loads of space.)

Okay now, done with my rant. Take a look at my lazy outfits! 

 This picture is taken while i just had a wonderful lunch in Tofuya Ukai, a very-very traditional Japanese restaurant, that offers traditional Japanese food. Unluckily, i forgot to bring my phone so can't take any picture of the food. And if you're probably wondering why my eyebrows looked like that, i did not use any make-up, so my eyebrows is not on fleek, plus the lighting hit my face. :)

Did not took any other outfit picture at all in NYC, only stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights. So, i took the time to take picture on the last day-in front of the hotel :"). NYC been really cloudy during my visit, so its hard to take a good picture. Wore my new grey culottes that i mentioned, my happy purchase!

Went to Melrose/Fairfax to take cute picts with my friends; Tiara and Lakesha and found this amazing murals. If you realize, i wore the same turtle neck sweater from the first outfit lol.

Literally my last day in LA! Feeling so pink-ish. I throw on my pink coat that i love!
