i ❤ FASHION: How I’d wear the PASTEL / CANDY trend

i ❤ FASHION: How I’d wear the PASTEL / CANDY trend

Hi guys! So sorry my blog has been so erratic lately! I’ve focused my energy on my new baby, my DIPLOshop. Just trying to get it off the ground is taking a lot of energy and time. I’m actually feeling a relapse of carpal tunnel symptoms because I am not only spending a lot of time on the computer (I’m doing the website myself) but also creating one-of-a-kind jewelry/accessories by hand myself! I’m having so much fun and getting utterly obsessed with new designs and finishing them. So please bear with me until things are more stable for DIPLOshop so I can focus my energy again back on the blog. Okay back to the topic on the current über girlie trend…

i ❤ FASHION:  Here comes the sun!

Hey guys! I’ve discovered another thing I love… POLYVORE! So this is how all those fashionistas are creating their super cool “looks!” And it’s so darn easy! Yey now I’ve a way to create some looks without resorting to low-tech Powerpoint heehee. Occassionally I’ll do a post when I feel inspired.  Best thing about it is that it says where you can shop for the items and how much it costs! SO cool!

i ❤ FASHION: Chez Bella

i ❤ FASHION: Chez Bella

After my past disappointing shopping experiences at Zara, I’ve been looking for a new place to get nice but cheap clothes.  So I found flattering loose flowing tops from Magnolia which range from Rp 50,000-80,000 or USD 5-8 est. (will write about Magnolia some other time) and from Chez Bella by the lovely Agnes! Her prices range between Rp 150,000 to 300,000 but the quality is definitely better than Magnolia. She brings it in from Bankok.

i ❤ FASHION: BWA Annual Fashion Show

Continued from my last post i ❤ FASHION: My BWA Annual Fashion Show outfit. It took a while for me to post this after because as you will see I took LOTS of pictures. It was hard for me to select my favorites among 600+ photos! I wish I took more photos of the other guests outfits though – there were so many gorgeous shimmering long gowns, dashing James Bond-like men in tuxes, impressive kilts and uniforms!

My friend LM invited me to the launch of Borneo Chic in Kemang a few days ago. I loved seeing how a group of people turned age old traditions and transformed it into relevant, modern, and fashionable pieces. It wasn’t just a fashion launch but also one that benefitted the indigenous people of Kalimantan…. Fashion with a passion.
