Something I wore to the gym.. haha just kidding.

I accidentally bought 18 new rings this week.. that's the danger of going to the markets in London. These all are old though, I'll show you new ones later..

ps. the second last picture was not planned, but turned out pretty funny..

The hunt for miu miu inspired pieces continues.. I have to say that I am a bit surprised that there aren't too many out there.. yet(?) But my new jumpsuit.. not really miu miu but maybe a little? the kind of thing you could easily wear around the clock..

and sorry.. I know I have been wearing the miu miu's non-stop.. I'll take a tiny break from them..

PERSONAL STYLE : 'You' is the new rules!

Biasanya, dalam dunia fashion kita memakai patokan ukuran season atau musim terhadap style dan trend. Ada Spring/Summer dan Autumn?Winter, ditengah nya sering kita temui Cruise.

Maka, season tersebut secara tak langsung mejadi "rules" alias peraturan, yg tak tertulis namun sangat kita patuhi tanpa sadar. Seseorang bisa dipuji karena up date dengan menggunakan baju trend terbaru, atau malah dicaci habis-habisan hanya karena menggunakan pakaian dr season sebelumnya. Tampaknya kita (baca: orang Indonesia) sering kali terpaku juga pada aturan ini, walaupun setiap dari kita tahu pasti bahwa Indonesia bahkan tidak mempunyai musim-musim tersebut di atas.

Yang lebih perlu diperjelas adalah keda istilah "style" dan "trend". style biasa merujuk pada gaya, selera dan cara kita mengenakan nya atau bahkan signature look kita. sedangkan trend seringkali berafiliasi dengan kekinian, sesuatu yg sedang hits, dan digandrungi.style belum tentu in trend, dan trend tidak juga selalu in style.

Nah, the fashion world now have the new rule, PERSONAL STYLE. Apapun yang kita pakai, apapun selera dan style kita, sah2 saja klo mau dipake. Mau pake gladiator shoes sekarang, jangan takut di bilang so last year. Pake polkadot sekarang , jangan takut dibilang retro ghost. intinya pakalah apapun yg membuat kalian nyaman dan bisa mendongkrak percaya diri.

Tapi masih ada satu rules penting lagi. "Kita bebas pakai apapun yang kita mau, dan orang lain bebas berkomentar." orang lain bebas jd fashion police atas apa yg kita pakai, orang lain boleh silet mengkritik kita habis2an. yang dibutuhkan adalah kesiapan kita, Style dan taste ga bisa dibeli dengan uang. 

Sudah siapkah kalian dengan aturan baru fashion??

ps: lihat2lah ke thesartorialist.blogspot.com karena itu adalah yg dipake orang2 setiap hari di jalanan :)

Worth the wait


My new YSL ring.. you might have seen it around already and it's not that I woke up late... it's more like I denied the fact that I actually needed it in my life.. until now.

In the middle of a busy week, I wanted to show you my snake ring that I ebayed a while ago. Featuring my favorite flowers.. it's almost a bit sad that they look even more beautiful dead....

A whole lot of roses

Over the weekend I really missed Finland where everyone was celebrating the 1st of may and overdosed on champagne. Back in london the monday bank holiday was mostly a setback weather wise with sunday store opening hours.. I tried my best to cheer it up with some new summer clothing.. well it worked, especially with these shorts that are pretty much the definition of underwear as outerwear.

Hidden

I did not notice until I was writing this, that I wore all topshop... uups. Check my new cool waistcoat that serves its purpose as a jacket or top, up to you.. but I need to talk about this clutch. Black slouchy leather with hidden studs.. I am totally turned on.. looks a lot like the Jas MB clutch that I was about a day away from buying... so to quote my friend: I MADE money with buying this. But more good news, I have a few extra that I am selling in shop 5 inch and up, so if you share my arousement, get yours here.
