Sunday Brunch Outfit | featuring Natasha

Hello guys! It's been awhile since I have posted anything actually and that was actually caused by my very tight schedule. I just returned from Medan last night and I have theater/drama practice almost everyday (for more info click here).

A few weeks ago actually me and my sister (Natasha/Acha) went to eat brunch at Plaza Senayan, we wanted to eat Sushi so we ate at Genki Sushi (a personal favorite of mine). We though it would be fun to take the opportunity of making an OOTD picture, since I haven't been updating my blog with any fashion related posts lately.

As a result we took pictures in Plaza Senayan's Park or Taman Senayan (in bahasa or me and my friend's everyday language). So let's just get started!

For Sunday Brunches I prefer to wear something casual and tidy. I decided to wear a khaki colored shirt from Cotton On and a white T-Shirt under it from Topman. I paired it with a black trousers from Zara and a brown-green belt from Gucci to add a bit of color. The final touch was my black pair of Tod's Shoes and Emporio Armani watch.

So does it go for my sister, casual and tidy. She wore a black turtleneck sweater from Zara and an oversized trousers from Animale (a local brand from Bali). She paired it with a brown pairs of heels from Clarks.

A few close up shots for details. Specifically for the watch and the belt. I was actually holding an iPad mini, which kinda match with the outfit.

Same goes for my sister who was holding the iPad Mini which matches her outfit theme. The stud details on the turtleneck is actually a choker which she got from an online store (I think). The choker was added to add a fun and playful atmosphere which also gave life to the look,

Some fun shots of the whole outfit that we wore. Sunday is a day meant for laughter, happiness and peace. Always try to find the bright side of every situation and smile!

COLOR CODE: BLACK [BLACK ESSENTIALS]

Hey guys! I am back once again and today as the title of today's post state, I am gonna post a Black colored essential for basically every season. I will be posting some more Color Code in the future hopefully. I have always wanted to do this kind of post because I really like having same colored objects around me. Anyways today's post will be about the color black and the things that will be covered today are basically fashion pieces. Let's just get started!

COLOR CODE: BLACK

Black is a must for everyone in the world whether you are interested in fashion or not. Black fashion pieces are compulsory because they basically go with everything and you can NEVER GO WRONG WITH BLACK. I honestly love dressing up using only the color black even if some of my friends say that I look dull or something but you just gotta be confident with your own style. Anyway since I am a big fan of the color black, I am gonna share some of my favorite Black Essentials.

1. Black Louis Vuitton Sandals

These are the best pair of sandals anyone (regardless of gender) can get. Surely not the most comfortable one on earth but the comfort level is above average. The really big plus is that the design of this sandal is really trendy and timeless. Honestly you can wear this to the beach (like I did) or you can wear it to the mall (like I did) or even for big fashion events (like I did also). I am not quite sure about the price since I got it from my dad as a gift, but in general Louis Vuitton footwear are above $300 so that explains enough. The fact that it is Louis Vuitton makes it way better (high satisfaction and feel good factor LOL).

2. Black Emporio Armani Leather Strap Watch

This watch is literally an essential for everyone, not my top Black Essential but surely the most functional and fashionable one. This watch goes well with everything! (except for swimming or exercising, the watch is water proof but the strap is leather so extra care is needed) The fact that it has leather strap made it way more comfortable and cool for the wrist. I personally use this watch for semi-formal to formal attire but this watch goes well with casual outfit also. The crocodile embossed leather gave an exclusivity and luxurious feel towards the user of the watch. Surprisingly this watch is very affordable for something from Emporio Armani, it costed me HK$3,000 (about $300). That is why this watch is an all time favorite of mine.

3. Little Black Book from Black Book Jakarta

Looks like Moleskin has a competitor in their field of business. This Little Black Book (LBB) is actually not so little and it is indeed very convenient. The most attractive part of this book is the sentence/phrase that they put on the cover, it is simply beautiful. This book has elegant, smart and sophistication written all over it, that is why I really love it. The fact that the paper in this book are blank paper, you can write and sketch in the book without hesitation. I am currently using this LBB as a journal for school and important activities. This is quite pricey for a normal book but if you guys are interested in collecting books, this LBB will surely please you. The price is about $10 for the normal one (picture above). The biggest plus for LBB is that it is a local product! Black Book Jakarta

4. Carven Black Document Holder

I am pretty sure you guys have seen this item on my previous posts (the one about Hong Kong). This document holder is just really cute and stylish, the fact that it is black and not leather makes it super easy to take care of. Carven is one of my favorite brand in the world of fashion, they never fail to impress me. This document holder was actually a collaboration between Carven and Delfonics. The most attractive part of this document holder is that the shape is very consistent and the material is very durable. The price is surprisingly very very very cheap, I got this for HK$500 (about $50!). This item surely is an essential since it is very affordable and durable it also matches with a lot of outfit.

Well unfortunately that is it guys for today's post I hope you guys like and found this useful or interesting. Anyway I will try to continue posting Color Code and I will also try to improve in my writing and content organizing. Thank you guys so much for reading until this point! Hope you guys have an awesome day and stay stylish!

Summer Lookbook - Bali (Look 3)

Hey guys! Today I am gonna finish off yesterday's post which is the detailed post of my Summer Lookbook. To finish the post I am gonna explain in detail my third and last look for this Summer! Let's get started!

The last look for the summer also features simple basic pieces but the key is once again the color or the pattern. Summer is all about bright colors so I went with a bright color shorts from H&M. It is in a salmon/peachy color that has a really nice and summery feel.

Another thing about summer would be trying to keep it simple and bright! So I decided to go with a white line shirt from Cotton On that is once again really nice and very summer. I personally like basic shirts because it's easier to find the perfect match for it.

I also added a brown belt from Superdry to make this look bolder and more sophisticated. This look is kinda like the semi-formal attire for the summer, you guys can just substitute the sandals with shoes or sneakers that has a similar color tone.

Since my purpose for this look was casual and relaxed I decided to go with my Louis Vuitton sandals once again. It might not have any color connection with the outfit right now, but sadly at that moment I didn't have any colored sandals or footwear with me.

I personally like this look because it's actually really simple and basic but it's also stylish and sophisticated, so this look is one of my favorite look for this summer! This look also showcases a flexibility in the color combination because white shirt can be mixed and match with basically every colored shorts or even patterned shorts.

So that's it for the detailed version of my Men's Summer Lookbook 2014! Hope you guys enjoy my posts and keep liking my blog and youtube channel! Thank you for reading this post and hope you guys have a great day and summer!

Summer Lookbook - Bali (Look 1)

Hey guys! As promised today's post will be about the detailed version of my Summer Lookbook 2014 and a glimpse of the places that I visited in Bali. Hope you guys find this post interesting and fun, enjoy!

The first look for my Summer Lookbook 2014 is a very casual and chill look. This look is very comfortable and stylish. It is perfect for travelling in the Summer.

What makes this look really comfortable is the black Zara joggers or sweatpants that I'm using. Sweatpants are a Must Haves and it's also considered as a basic piece. I think sweatpants are not ugly looking, they have their own style and fitting which can speak for the look. 

I chose my Boy London Tank to top the look and give a chilly and summer feel. To complete my look I used my Calvin Klein Jeans Aviators and the Forever 21 Men Straw Hat, those two are an essential in this look because both the aviators and straw hat gave a summer feel.

To make the look perfect for summer I chose to wear my Louis Vuitton Sandals that are also the same color as my other clothing pieces. In the first two picture I also used my black Prada Backpack that is convenient and stylish for travelling.

To finish this post, I would like to say that 'Black is always in, even in summer!' Well thanks guys for reading my post hope you guys have a great day and a great summer!
