Styling 101: Scandinavia Dreaming

Source: Decordots | Country Road | Urban Outfitters

Pardon me for thinking too far ahead but I love catching up with my own reverie, just like how I often imagine how my future house would be. I wish to have a house with contemporary Scandinavian interior design, the kind of house that uses earthy muted tones of furniture, features large windows that let the natural light to pour in, also white walls so it reflects the light and makes the interiors brighter. I could use some metal pendant lights here and there too as it will come in handy, functionally and aesthetically. Moreover, I would like to own a spacious backyard where my future kids could freely play and get along with the nature, while I'd get myself indulged in afternoon tea.

Go get 'em: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 

I had so much fun browsing through Anthropologie! These findings are quite gem since I was surprised to learn that they apparently offer a wide range of stunning home accessories. Even their cookware sets would create a pleasing aesthetic at the kitchen, wouldn't they? Hands up if you agree with me!

Oh and it's that time of the year again. I hope you are all having a joyful holiday gathering with your loved ones. May the spirit of Christmas bring you happiness and peace!

Styling 101: Pleats

The first time I encountered pleats was back in 2014 when I was modelling for a local brand's collection. Though my first impression of the fabric wasn't all that enjoyable due to the humid weather in Jakarta, I had a glimpse idea of how appealing and cosy it would be to wear pleats in cooler temperature.

• Issey Miyake Pleats Please Light Bounce A-Line Dress 
• Fendi By The Way
• Fendi Cat Eye Sunglasses with Crystal Details 
• Steve Madden Carolyn Lace-Up Sandals 
• Kate Spade Small Square Stud Earrings
• Jemma Wynne Chalcedony and Diamond Bangle
• Kate Spade Daydreamer Mirror iPhone 6 Case 

You know you just couldn't skip Issey Miyake when taking pleats into account, could you? And I've been adoring shades of blue lately. I mean, these shades make color mixing seems so easy, not to mention they complement my skin tone. Here's a proof: see my previous post's selfie. In addition, the lace-up trend appears to dominate the entire season. I've noticed it doesn't only look surprisingly hip on clothes, but also on shoes and sandals.

Wednspiration #1

Hello my dear bumblebees! I would like to introduce you to the first post of Wednspiration. It's basically a combination of Wednesday + Inspiration. This Wednesday special post will contain inspiration sets related to fashion and beauty or just anything created by me.

The first set I wanted to share is about fashion, I am not into fashion to be honest, I only wear comfy casual outfit daily. I don't really have many pattern outfits, most of my outfits are basics, and most of them are black, gray and white haha! That explains why I always have a hard time finding my black outfit. I have so many of them, I once piled all the blacks I have on the floor and I literally have a mountain of them! Some people would probably say black is boring, but it's never for me, when you mix black with bright color, it definitely never be boring but instead, it looks classy and you'll have tons of different ways to make one black outfit to be wearable on different occasions. I'm just the type of person who loves building on the basics :) Then again, I'm not a stylish person, that opinion is just what I plant in my mind.

The Summer vibe is still in here! Bright pink is a color for Summer season. So here's my outfit inspiration for this Wednesday:

Get the look!

1. House of Harlow 1960 Nomadic Warrior Arrow Necklace
2. Monki Charlotte Jumpsuit
3. Cartier Santos Diamond Watch - 24mm 18K Yellow Gold
4. Alexander McQueen Cat Eye Sunglasses - Gold Black/ Brown Gradient
5. Marc By Marc Jacobs Enamel Logo Disc Stud Earrings - Fluoro Pink
6. Butter London Nail 999 Rescue System & Butter London Primrose Hill Picnic Nail Lacquer
7. Juicy Couture Viva La Fleur Eau De Toilette
8. Chanel Espadrilles
9. Saint Laurent Striped Small Sac De Jour
10. Monkeybrother Women's Ridge Wide Summer Beach Sun Hat Straw Cap

Pssst.. Did you know that black always makes you look slimmer?

Moving on to the beauty department, I think the Summer outfit that I just created will ideally suit a pink coral makeup. I myself love natural makeup look.

Get the look!

1. Tom Ford Lip Color Sheer in Paradiso
2. Urban Decay Naked 3
3. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Luminous Flush
4. Urban Decay Naked Flushed in Native

Oh well, the Naked 3 and Naked Flushed have been on my wishlist for a long time actually! The shades are just perfect for medium skin tone like mine and tell me anyway who doesn't want these palettes? I think with this pink coral makeup look, it will compliment the warm yellow gold accessories in the outfit.

What do you think about these sets? And let me know where would you wear this outfit, my dear bumblebees.
