It's already 8th of January, I knaaw. I exactly planned to post this NOT right in the new year's day, so that probably some of you were waiting it (bighead) haha no no no I didn't think it that way, it's only because I've already posted two looks earlier this month, so, it won't seem like I only post when I want to. When I do then suddenly three posts come up in a day, but when I lazy, not even one post showed up, haha. So, to make it balance I decided to keep it for some time. What a bad excuseeee, I really really bad bad in arranging words I'm sorry, just don't care about the words, enjoy the pics :) aaand eventho' it's late but, I wish you a blessed new year *cheers*

These are everything I wear to campus today, and I feel so happy in them. I like how my skirt flow when I walk. Plus the super comfy loafers which is really attracting since it pretty glossy, I am very lucky to have them for only IDR 36k, seriously, they're gorgeous. The pleated skirt is new. I ruin it a little when I forgot to flip the fabric under my legs when I ride my matic-motorcycle. It flew beautifully but unfortunately the fabric kissed the super hot muffler**knalpot, and can you guys imagine there are about six or seven holes which are as big as a coin at the bottom of the skirt, too bad. This look was inspired by Elle Fanning when she was spotted walking outside Starbucks. Especially the loafer, she's brilliant in matching it with a ruffle skirt. I love loafers :D I wear mine almost everyday *norak*. Ohkay, that's all for today, don't forget to leave a word or two, and Thank you for reading! :)

Color blocking is what I love recently :D I am so much excited about the upcoming few days, cus I'm gonna spend it with 'a special guest'. I haven't met this person since last February, so this is gonna be fun with several days studying and most days outing, heheheh. It's June, isn't it? people here says it's the month of holidays. For me, it is not entirely holiday, I still need to study, but holiday is holiday, enhancing the 'having fun' frequency is a must! :D
so, HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY EVERYONE!!!
Boring with my original scrapbook cover,
I play around with Photoshop and made this!

| BACK COVER | Girls! Not easy to get off of these things! :D |

| APPEARANCE | t a d a ! hehehe |
Salam sisters, it's already been a month since I posted the last entry, hehehe. Ive got a lotta busy days, and was having a paramyxovirus attack earlier last month, I got 'mumps' (Google it for more info) heheee and yes, I got my cheek swollen down to the upper neck, it was torturing me for two weeks, but Alhamdulillah I'm now entirely recovered :)
It's so nice to be back, posting again, I miss this blog so much! hehee. Anyway, two weeks ago I visited my friend, she's older than me, she's a friend but we're so close like she's my spiritual sister, halah, hehe. I'll show you her face below, let's call her Teteh Aisyah :D
Very sunda face, rite? rite, she's from Tasikmalaya. Well, she's just had an engagement a week before and a 'bride-to-be'. When I visited her, she told me that she's going to marry soon, uhuhuhu \(^.^)/ I was so excited when I heard that! and I think she hasn't told anyone yet about the d-day, I dunno whether she wanna make a surprise or what so I'm not gonna say it here, but like I said 'soon' means 'very soon' ^.^ uhuhuhu!
But, there's a story, about the wedding dress fabric which her fiance's cousin choose for her, hehehe. It's a teal blue brocade fabrics and already on her hands rite now, and of course it purposed to be made as Kebaya dress, but she told me that she's kinda not-sure about it, cus kebaya is rather tight and ordinary, hehe. She actually wanted a soft sweet colour and a syar'i elegant design like the fascinating Irna La Perle collection, which most material are chiffon, sateen, or velvet I guess, hehe. But she definetely couldn't put the brocade away, bcause you know, just no way. So, after talking and more talking, we both ended in confusion, xixixi.
At home, I was laying on my bed that the idea came by, hehe, some brocade dresses design flashed in my brain. I took my scrapbook and pen then start drawing, hehe. I had tons of pictures in my head but I also consider her chubby face and her bodyshape (hahaha sorry teh if that comes too sensitive :p) so I made them as fit as possible. I would be really happy if she could wear something I made specially for her on her special day :) hihi. Well, here they are! :D
 |
| 1) KEABAYA | The first drawing I made, combination of kebaya and abaya. Brocade is identic with kebaya, so I couldn't put off the kebaya sign on this abaya, I add a fabric-wrapped buttons details on the frontside, hehe. I call it Keabaya :D |
 |
| 2) BITTERSWEET | My second drawing, I wonder that this one would be rather sweet because most of the material is chiffon which is pleated and the falling sateen ribbon would be sweeter ^.^ |
 |
| 3) RUFFLE ROLL | Most of the materials are chiffon, This one would be very eye-catching cus in real, I wonder the chiffon bollero would be very romantic looking when it's blown by the wind :D |
 |
| 4) BLOOMY BRIDE | My last drawing, I put several embroidery flowers on the head and the coat, nothing much to say, just because it's spring time! :D hehe |
'Teh Ais' that is what I call her, was very happy when I brought my scrapbook to her :D She adore the first and the second pics, but she couldn't decide yet, I know wedding, so many things to consider, hihi, I'm wondering when my turn is, hmmmmm, hehehe, I hope it would be much more wonderful :D halah, amin InshaAllah. I gave those sheets to let her consult to the boutique where she will make the dress, I rather excited how my design would come into real! :D hihi, "BARAKALLAH TEH AIS", I hope it would be a wonderful one, AMIN.
So, what do you gurls think? which one do you like best? hehe :D leave your thoughts below! :)
thanks for reading :*

that ruffle top I loved so much! hehehe, very simply done actually, and the wedgie is new, hehehe, like the Calcagni wedges I wanted, but not really the same, hhe...say anything...I'd be delightful having your critics :)
This entry is the continuance of the previous one. We're also gonna talk about my experiment trying Hana Tajima's Hijab Style, hee. Still the 'Farah Fawcett look alike' hijab style :p like th efirst one we did. But this time is a lil bit different, We're gonna do the second style, like she had on this pic..

Basically, this second style is the same as the first one but there are some step that we need to reduce, and for this second style, Hana Tajima was using pashmina, but Imma bit improvising, he, I'm gonna use my square hijab, in this case, my old paris hijab which is very popular in Indonesia.
So, let's start gurlies ;) :)
So, let's start gurlies ;) :)
 |
| All what we need |
 |
| 1. Put your square hijab on, make it one layer | 2. Pull the rest of the fabric upward and bring it forward, make sure one side is longer than the other side | 3. Pull two side of the fabric and pin it at the back of your neck, just like the first one we did. |
 |
| 4. Take the longer side of the fabric | 5. Fold it into two layer to make it not transparent | 6. Pin it at the other side of your cheek, push through your headband. (ps: pull the rest of the fabric at the back of your neck downward to make the backside longer). |
 |
| You're DONE! |
More simple I think, rite? hee, yes it is, and this style could be your solution to reuse your old square hijab, because I know maybe some of you have already put them away due to to the 'middle-east' hijab trend which is lot more using pashmina or long scarves, am I rite?. Well, I say it because it happens to me, kekekeh, I don't know what to do with my old square hijab cus now I'm more often using the 'middle-east' hijab style. But seeing Hana Tajima with her newest hijab style, she really inspires me so I try her hijab style using my square hijab, turns out it's quite working isn't it? heee, you can also use any of your old square hijab, maybe your moms or grannys, hihi, just improvise with patterned fabrics or anything you like :) Alright, I think I'm done here, hope this information could be useful for you gurls, have a try and goodluck! :)
tamtam :)
