PS: I realized only after I arrived that my (inner) skirt was slightly see-through... sigh. Luckily I had a black dress in my car so I wore it under my original outfit...LOL. Improvisation, yes?

JFW 10/11: Cleo Fashion Awards 2010

Sooooooo here are some pictures from yesterday's Cleo Fashion Awards 2010....I struggled to arrive on time during that night, but I did, and I enjoyed it a lot despite my headache...:)


Here are my views! :)


I loooooved Danjyo Hiyoji's collection....spot on from head to toe as always! And the shoes were awesome though I can't imagine walking in them...thank God no model tripped during the show...:) Anyway, does anyone agree with me that Danjyo Hiyoji is like (X)SML taken to another level? The colors, the fabrics, the cuts...they somehow carry the same feeling...:)

KLe was...well, it was the sort of collection where you're in awe with some of the pieces, but left unimpressed by the rest...I liked the way the models used these headpieces with controversial lines, but I deemed the lines to appear stronger than the clothes, which shouldn't be...my favorite was a jacket that had like water-drops hanging from the shoulders (too bad I don't have the pictures though)....I think I'm gonna get that for myself...;p


Twentyforteen was all about swimwear (duh!), and I found them to be 'just okay'. I actually liked the plastic outerwear better hihihi...:)

STAB was the only brand that carried out a fun, playful show...but it was confusing. The only outfit I liked was the one above, and the rest seemed rather lost. I loved the idea how the collection was supposed to be innocent & childlike, but perhaps it went slightly too much.


Resida Irmine's collection reminded me of ninjas...I admire the interesting asymmetrical cuts..:)

Now my favorite was surely this one. Cotton Ink! Before the show, I was actually thinking how the two girls behind this brand would be able to take their usual basic pieces into a collection that would appear appropriate for a fashion show. But they sure did it! They managed to keep their signature style yet appear sophisticated and very fashionable. I loved the use of trims and pockets topped off with round sunglasses. Bravo!


Now Dina Vahada is always conceptual. Always. And that's what I love about her. This time her collection was about magic, witches, black cats, that sort of thing. I loved almost every piece of hers....the only dress I didn't like was the one where she combined black lace with nude-colored lining...but the rest was amazing! I also loved the opening where the models came out with black umbrellas....:)

Moving on...didn't find Astrid's collection interesting.


So yeah...

• Most Innovative Local Brand: Cotton Ink
  
• Most Talented Young Designer: Dina Vahada

Once again...CONGRATS! :)

Of course all of the above is purely my personal opinion, and I apologize if it doesn't sound right. I salute everyone who got into the show! Cheers!! :)

PS: Errr....well...


Hehehehehehhehehehehhehehehehe...

Heels Over Heels

Woah it was a loooooooooong day. It was productive alhamdulillah...just exhausting hehehe.

Spent almost the whole day doing a photo shoot for my newest collection for Bloop Endorse...do wait for it to launch very soon! :)

Then attended the Cleo Fashion Awards 2010 and was super happy with the result:

• Most Innovative Local Brand: Cotton Ink
  
• Most Talented Young Designer: Dina Vahada
  

Just as I expected...:)

Congratulations, both! I was really impressed with both of your shows...:)

I'll do a longer review on today's event tomorrow...good night, peeps! And oh, I sat beside Aming today, and I was so happy that we ended up chatting hehehe...it started when I saw him laughing while looking at me, and so I asked what was so funny...he said, "the way you make your face while watching the show is so cute...very expressive," hahaha...

Again...good night! :)

Hello, Kitty Galore!

Skipped all today's show at Jakarta Fashion Week 2010/2011 cuz I had to take my parents to Bandung...sigh. But I found this cheap, sorta cheesy Hello Kitty cover and I somehow love it a lot! Hahah...:)

Happyyyyyyyyyy...:)

Love Towels & What Makes Me Happy

Spent my Saturday with my family and girlfriends...alhamdulillah...:)

Forever 21 dress, Topshop tights, unbranded straw hat, Kate Spade bag, Yunique Paradise shoes

Anyway, it's good to contemplate and evaluate our lives regularly, don't you think? :) But the act of contemplating and evaluating does not always have to revolve around our weaknesses, our faults, our areas of improvements...it's also good to remind ourselves about our strengths, our achievements, anything positive so that we appreciate ourselves and our lives better....:)

So let's play "what makes me happy" hehehe...but not the "ice cream" or "sound of rain" sort of thing...think of things that go beyond the tangibles...things that underlie our positivity...

Here are some of mine...:)

• I never feel old! I always feel young and never think that I'm too old for something....and that makes me happy!
• I always believe that everything happens for a reason...so whatever takes place in my life, I always know that it's for the best..
  
• I'm straightforward! Being able to be express my thoughts and answer whatever questions that are thrown at me in the most honest manner (with all due respect, of course) just makes me feel...light...and happy.
  

Try list down yours too, peeps!

Good night! :)
