[Sponsored Post] Choker fever is back

10:29:00 pm

Hello again, everyone! Have you realized that lately a lot of girls have been wearing choker around their neck? I don't know if it's also happening in western countries, but in Japan and Korea, the fever seems to be there. I was not really fond of choker before, since it feels like I'm being cuffed, but this time around I found it kinda appealing. Thanks to variation of the design ♡


So when I got the chance, I grabbed mine from Born Pretty Store, my favorite online store to get my accessories. This time around, I got myself these adorable babies. Check them out!

Born Pretty Store actually has a lot of choker design you can choose from, but I chose this one because of the thick material. I had similiar material for necklace and when it's too thin, it's easy to break, so I carefully think about the thickness of the material. Despite this thought, I really love the design of the choker, specially the gem pendant.

The second baby is this fox bracelet. The material is still the same as the choker, but with different color and thickness. I personally love fox and the picture for the pendant is really cute, don't you think so? I just love any bracelet that has lot of layer (can it even called layer?)

The third one is typical necklace that I'd buy, the long chain necklace. I love to wear long necklace, but the typical gold or silver chain is pretty boring for me so when I saw this all black chain and geometric shape for the pendant, I fall in love in the first sight and just knew that I have to have it! Doesn't it just adorable?

The last one is still has the geometric shape, but this one is bracelet. I actually rarely wear this kind of bracelet since it doesn't suit my sporty style, but when I want to dress up a little nicely and classy, this bracelet comes in handy. It's pretty nice to match with your blouse or dress.


Beside all those four, you can check their collection in their website! They offer free shipping worldwide and I offer you 10% off with my code if you decided to buy yourself some nice accessories. Just use my code AGT10 at your checkout!


So, in those four, which one is your favorite? Share with me down below! :)

[Sponsored Post] New Necklace Obsession

7:13:00 pm

Hello again! A post before this weekend end and I's stuck with my school project, again. Actually I plan to write this one long time ago, but I can only manage to post this post for my sponsor now because I was really busy with my own study for these past 4 months. :(


OKAY! So, I've been up to do collaboration with BornPrettyStore again this time, and as usual, they never let me down. This time I got to get my hand on these three necklaces.




http://www.bornprettystore.com/blue-drift-bottle-shaped-necklace-wishing-bottle-decorated-sweater-chain-p-21916.html)
Lately I've been into beach since it's summer, so this necklace got my interest since the first glance. It practically scream "SEA! BEACH!" The chain is the long one, so it's good to wear it with my simple blouse or t-shirt.


http://www.bornprettystore.com/sand-glass-pendant-necklace-stylish-time-turner-english-words-metal-chain-short-necklace-p-19027.html
The second one remind me of my favorite heroine character from Harry Potter, Hermione Granger. It's actually a replica of her Time Turner necklace. It's really lovely, but the necklace chain's not as long as the first one, it's more like not too short nor too long. For me who like my necklace long, it's kinda hard not to feel weird the first time I wear it, but it still look good with my simple t-shirt, or maybe we can pair it up with a v-neck t-shirt. ;)



http://www.bornprettystore.com/elegant-hollow-pendant-necklace-water-drop-luminous-necklace-p-21842.html
The third one is the glow in the dark one! :D Yeah, these three are my current obsession. The chain is pretty short, so it will look good with V-neck t-shirts or shirt, just open up one or two buttons ;)


So, which one is your favorite? :D They also have a lot of choices in their website, so make sure you check it out. Use my code AGT10% at your checkout! :D



See you again soon!

evening dresses

Miss Universe 2015 evening dresses

9:18:00 pm


Hello everyone! How’s your day?
Did you watch the preliminarily of Miss Universe 2015? I can’t watch it since I didn’t know about it until the news of Miss Indonesia 2014 won the national costume.


When I heard that, I browsed the internet to see the national costume. A lot of other consestants’ costume also popped up and truthfully, they’re all beautiful. Some are exceptional, and of course Miss Indonesia’s national costume is the best (speaking of nationality and the fact that it was made by my own teacher back in ESMOD – Sir Dynand Fariz).




The details and the meaning behind the design really made me fall in love with the costume.
Read here (only in bahasa):
http://hiburan.metrotvnews.com/read/2014/12/17/333293/gaun-ini-yang-akan-dipakai-puteri-indonesia-di-miss-universe-2015


From the national costume that has been the trending topic all over the internet, I also saw some photos about the contestants’s evening gown.


Still from Miss Indonesia, I found some of her beautiful dresses that I love. All of them are specially made by Indonesia designer, like Anaz Khairunnas, Didiet Maulana, Ivone, Yuana, Anne Avantie, and Dynand Fariz (saw the link above for the news source).

source: HERE


Since I can’t really find the photos of all the dresses Miss Indonesia, Elvina Devinamira wore for the Miss Universe 2015, the options are too small. But, beside the national costume, my favorite is the ‘Silence of Maja’ by Anaz Khairunnas. The detail of the white dress and the story behind the design always amaze me.


These talking about beautiful evening gown reminds me of the collection of Picked Dresses. Visit their website here for amazing collection of prom (and can be used as evening) dresses.

They have a lot of beautiful Montreal prom dresses, don’t you agree? Let me highlight some of my favorite.

link: http://www.pickedresses.com/trumpet-mermaid-sweetheart-floor-length-tulle-lace-prom-dresses-p340.html

This broken white tulle mermaid dress is definitely my favorite. Imagine the color changed into black. A total babe. Not only it will look elegant, but also will give you a dark kind of glamour vibe. The dress will make you look mature and feminine.


My second favorite is this mini white tulle dress.

link: http://www.pickedresses.com/a-line-scoop-short-mini-tulle-beading-prom-dresses-p395.html

The dress still looked so simple even with the beads all over the torso area. As a fan of simple dress, I tend to avoid too much beads on my dress. But this dress is exceptional. In fact, the beads is the reason why I picked this dress! If they didn’t put the beads on the dress, it will be too simple and not eye-catchy. Even with the pretty flower-patterned tulle on the skirt (which why I love this dress so much), without the beads on the torso, this dress will be too simple.


You will not look too childish or too mature with this dress. The dress can bring out the child-like vibe, a feminine side, or an elegant side of you. You can just be yourself and choose which side you want to show.




What do you think? ;)

Black Friday

Black Friday Crazy Offers from Eric Dress

9:46:00 pm

Hey guys! \(≧∇≦)/
This time I want to share a little bit of Black Friday.


Do you know about Black Friday? (* O *)
I never knew about this event before. Well, Indonesia doesn't have Black Friday. So, if you're just as clueless as me about this special event, I will tell you a little bit. ;)


Basically Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and usually celebrated at U.S.
It's called Black Friday because of the traffic jam caused by oh-so-many shoppers, and sometimes it comes along with the violance.
It's also an unofficial time to begin shopping for holiday (read: Christmas)! Since it's a month before Christmas, a lot of store give tempting and crazy offer, like discount (yeah, discount!). No wonder there're traffic jam and violence (duh!).


But we don't have to worry about the violance and the traffic jam because these days we can shop online (yeay! Thanks to internet! \(^o^)/ )!
If you're wondering which shops are giving out Black Friday offer,
here I gave you one store that has amazing offer!


*drums roll*


It's EricDress!
They divided the offer into 4 parts. Moreover, they provide clothes, prom dresses, evening dresses, wedding dresses, shoes, and bags! So complete!
They even offer up to 85% off! \(≧∇≦)/
heaven!

dreamy trip

A Night Out in Parma

8:56:00 pm

Hello, my dear readers! I know all of us have at least one place we want to go so badly. Some of us called it my dream country or city. As for me who loves to see different culture and places, travelling around the world became my lifetime dream. If you ask me which country I love the most, my answer would be Japan. But this is not about Japan since I'm going to move there next week.

This time let's think about a place with interesting historical story and culture, amazing food, and pretty architectural building. It was famous for it's prosciutto, art, cheese, music, and architecture. Can you guess what it is?


Yeah, of course I'm talking about a city in Italy. It's Parma. Have you heard it?
I myself knew about the city just recently, when I was reading about a trip review of Instanbul, Turkey. A picture of middle age castle-like building caught my eyes and I couldn't stop myself clicking the link. I instantly became interested and searching a little bit about the city.

After I read a little about the place, there're things I want to do if I have a chance to visit Parma - this is my kind of travelling.


I always wanted to travel around autumn or spring, since it wouldn't be as hot and humid as Jakarta. So well, it would be wonderful to go here around autumn or spring. That way, I can wear my sweater or coat over my shirt, or do the layering! It would be fun to do some mix and match during my trip! And it would be good to wear my boots on the season ♡








Cathedral of Parma

 First I want to go to the historical places, like the castle (Bardi Castle of Torrechiara, Rocca Sanvitale of Fontaneliato, and so on), the museum (Chamber of Saint Paul and St. Catherine's cell, costantinian Museum of the Steccata, and so on). Not to forget to visit the churches.. ;)
There, I can see the architecture with my own eyes and admiring the fine design. In the same time, it would be best to hear about the story from the local guide about the history ♡









 Second I want to taste the local food! Look at those delicious looking food! Nom~nom~nom~
Beside the delicious food, I believe the breakfast/lunch/dinner time can give you time to get to know the local people. You can learn a little bit of their culture on the dining table. Just go to the local restaurant and get to know some local people! :D Once upon a time, my friend taught me about this tips! :D 


 However, I don't understand Italian language. It would be better if I knew the language, or have someone who understand the language. But what if I don't have that someone to accompany me? Normally I would use the body language or english. LOL~ But it's not the case now, since there's this amazing translation application, Smartling! This way I don't have to worry about the language differences! \（＾ワ＾）/   Smartling provides translation service and mobile application for our busy schedule! We don't have to worry about the sudden need of translator since they can manage it! You can download the application from your mobile (Android and iOS).

Website Review - WigsBuy

10:02:00 pm

Fashion world never walked seperately from beauty world. They basically walked hand by hand. You will never see a model or street fashionista without a touch of make-up, nail art, or hairdo, right? They compliment each other. They keep spreading their wings to complete the fashion world. Not only make-up or nailart tools, now they have produce a lot of hairclip and wig type. Nowdays hairclip and wig are common to be found or to be used. You will find some bloggers using them as well.


Not only that, hairclip and wig really help a lot of people a lot. You name it, cosplayer, blogger, and even common people. You can change your hairstyle and hair color in an instant! How good is that? If we took years back, wigs and hairclip were not as good as nowdays. The type was limited too. But now, you can choose the country origin, the type, the color - everything!


As someone who loves to change hairstyle and hair color, I found wig as one of my favorite option. I don't have to go to salon frequently or damage my hair. I only need to put a wig based on what I want for the day. That's why I've been checking out some of website that sell wig.



WigsBuy is one of my favorite!




These two are my favorite!




They sell a lot of variant, from hairclip, human hair wigs, men wigs, african-american wigs, cosplay wigs, and lace wigs. They also let you pick the color you wanted, so you can play with your chosen wig!


Visit them at www.wigsbuy.com and grab your favorite wigs!




See you soon!

[Review] Moena Cafe

11:49:00 am


The first thing that caught my eyes when i entered the cafe was the ALOHA greetings board on their cashier table. (∩_∩) With white walls and colorful decoration, the cafe looks so cheerful.

But not only that, the staffs was friendly and most of them can speak english pretty well.

Before we go to the decoration, let's begin from the outside decoration of the cafe. \(≧∇≦)/




They mix the modern and hawaiian theme together, to create a colorful cafe with cozy ambiance.



They also have a souvenir corner too.. :)


With toilet inside the cafe, you don't have to be afraid to search for one when you needed it, specially after all the time you spent on shopping. (• ˆ⌣ˆ •)


The cafe has two floor. I didn't see the second floor since i was sitting on the first floor. They also have veranda seating on the first floor, for costumer who smoking. 





Not only they have cozy ambiance and friendly staff, they also serve delicious food ‎°\(^▿^)/°
They provided english, korean, and some other language menu. So you don't have to understand japanese to eat here. :D

As for the price, i think it's reasonable for a cafe, specially with the big portion and delicious taste. It's all worthed.


They sell pancake and waffle, but also breakfast and lunch set. ( ˆ⌣ˆ )
Since my sister and i was coming at lunch hour, we ordered breakfast set (for my sister), and their recommended chef lunch set (for me).

Special Loco-Moco Rice

Mine ( ˆ⌣ˆ )
My sister's - Ham Egg Benedict


Oh! I almost forgot to tell you....
If you're muslim, please ask first, whether the food have pig inside or not, because mine and my sister's had pig served on the food.

If you're not bothered by that, it's heaven! ;D
