Sacred Spread - 07 Juni 2010

I am a huge fan of magazine, both fashion and decoration magazine. Well not fan, I am an addict, freak, whatever you name it. I found it useful to share it to you guys. 

So as from now I will have my  

Sacred Spread, 

 a place for my all time favorite magazine spread! 

Hope you find it interesting to see.

Why?

because I always been a big fan of Classy European touch in fashion, I'm not so into American street style though my daily wear is sort of that simple, ha! inconsistent I am. Blame it to the environment around me that keep giving me that annoying look each time I try, no, actually blame it on me who don't have enough guts and creativity to do so.

Shout to me what comes in your time as these gorgeous images of Lily appear in your screen.

I will put interesting comment(s) on the next Sacred Spread post.

Meanwhile, the loveliest, Claradevi Handriatmadja, nominated me a sweet blog award. I am flattered, for sure. Thank you, beautiful!

  You know one of my principle, right? that goodness must be spread around, that's why I didn't keep this myself. The rule of this award is spread the news to the other sweet blogger and the award goes to . . .
tadaaa . . .

Oscar 2010, what a show!

 Warm Hello!!

As we might know, that Oscar's Night is just aired on TV! Did you managed to see it? Well as for me, I was mesmerized by the stage set at the Kodak Theater on that night. The stage is so fabulous in my eyes, the arch at the front edge, the backgrounds, everything!! for those of you who haven't seen it yet, take a look!!

this is the design made by David Rockwell

Seeing this made me said to myself, I would love to design that kind of thing someday, somehow! :D. Not enough for you? worry not. This is the performance of So You Think You Can't Dance contestants on Oscars Night. They performed a dance adapted from the Oscars nominee movie. Take a look, satisfaction guarantee.

Oscar might be the last show this year and seemed like the stars really take it seriously. The red-carpet show is awesome, everyone came up with their best style and it's hard to find the wardrobe malfunction player this time. Take a look at my personal choices of best dressed nominee.

 I have to admit that this is my first time seeing KStew on haute couture, and she looks pretty gorgeous in this beautiful strapless gown by Monique Lhuillier. I hope she stays like this until the Eclipse premiere heehee.

a navy gown by Valentino accompanied with nude peep-toe pumps looks fabulous on Mimi. I personally love it and might want some for me, please!!!

I believe this is the very first time printed dress looks haute on red carpet. Rachel McAdams looking flawless on Elie Saab Haute Couture. love love love!!!

I love Anna Kendrick make-up and hairdo. It looks very young and sweet, definitely gonna copy this for my uncle's big wedding later. And this style are perfectly matched the sweet Elie Saab Haute Couture nude pink dress and Judith Lieber clutch.

Zoe, daughter of Lenny Kravitz looking effortlessly stunning with this velvet-cream gown. And the big bow at her back detail is kinda cute. Sadly, I can't find any info about who is she wearing. 

I love her Marchesa dress, I love her sleek hair, I love her make-up, and I love to see her winning her Best Actress in a Leading Role Nomination for The Blind Side!!! YAAYYY!!! She has been my favorite actress since Speed! And she is really perfect for my BEST DRESSED award!!

the story hasn't ended yet, I forgot to mention this on my previous post. I want to send a big bunch of thank you to B'Girl Magazine for featuring me and some of my fab blogger friends on their March edition. Well, this was not my best picture since I kinda believe this was the first pose that I'm not ready yet -_-'' but still I gotta be thankful for that. Thanks guys!!!

I promise you that outfit post will come out in no times! I haven't find any reason to go out and dress up since everyone around me keep on yelling at me to get some rest due to my accident wounds. I'm feeling totally great, though, so maybe I'll push them to allow me out in couple of days :D.

p.s. for those of you who haven't read my previous post, and wondering where the hell I've been for quite some time, you might want to read this, click click!

In the mean time, please take a good care of yourself. continue a ser fabuloso cada dia, vê-lo em um piscar de olhos.

who wants to be ordinary in this crazy mixed-up world?

Another cup of happiness continued with a huge one. I was attending 2010 Blogger Meet-Up at KOIKI Japanese Restaurant, at Plaza Indonesia last Friday.  It wasn't my comfort Friday actually I have several stuff to do at separated place. Sadly, I had to leave early before anybody else since I have to rush myself to dad's bday dinner at BSD, Tangerang. Actually I don't have my heady fully where its belong when I was in Koiki, I'm thinking how am I gonna arrived there in time. So this stupid girl forgot taking out her camera at all. The result I don't have any single record of this precious moment. Gaaahhh. Now, I'm like a beggar begging for other's photos. Well, since not all of the people who came uploaded their photo yet, I just give you a sneak peek of it. A group photo which captured succesfully with girls from B'Girl Magz.Yes, we have special guest too, Mbak Ines and Mbak Dina from B'Girl Magazine who took our pics for their magazine purpose. Woot Woot, and thanks for the bright goodie bag too, B'Girl.

I didn't do couple photo much because I left when everybody's doing their couple photo session *sad again*.

Are You Dare to Dream?

This is a response I wrote on my friend's blog. He tag me for a post that quite interesting for me. To read his post, click click!

Ok, this post is kinda slap me right in my face hehehe, coz it's such a huge thing for me if I could be able to do this as my blog post.  Coz as opposite to you, I grew up with one dream only, a HUGE one. I dream of it from the very first day I understand what dreams are. Sadly I grew up with a comprehension that it's not enough to pay my bills, it's not enough to reach what people around me called 'success future life'. I know I've lost to my surroundings and decided to quit. And since then I keep on feeling ashamed of my failure to reach the dream that is mine.

Until I read a quote
"You cannot just dream heaven; you must also dream the path that will bring you there"

This quote illustrate what is my passion now. I choose to fight for my HUGE dream, put it in my door so every time I'm about to step outside, it warns me. And I dream the path to get my huge dreams. I tailored my dream with dreams.  And what is it actually?
Well, I'm still afraid of those negative people who will put cage on mine. I'd rather stay silent until I reach it. Maybe the same way could works for you, maybe. You should hear your call, after all.
But I will, I promise I will someday answering your first passage of this post and open it for public :)
Until then I'm sending a huge luck to all of your dream.

It's a comment I made actually and I sent this to his Facebook account where he tagged me in his note. But I think I could post it on my blog also. So I could easily track it back whenever I need it. I got filled up with positive energy this past few days and especially today because this is my 21st (months) anniversary with my boyfriend *happy*. I'm happy to be able to produce those words of encouragement, not just for my friend but for myself as well. It kinda be reminder for myself to keep standing and keep fighting for my dreams.

Another Blesssings to the Ponds: THE HAUTE MESS AWARD

Hey guys,,

Life has been treated me good this time. I'm so much enjoying my blogging activity since I made lots and lots of friends from this. Though I haven't meet them personally but they are as good as fairy angels to me. I love them damn much!

I just got home from a date with my man and got this lovely news.
I want to give tons of thankful feelings to my dearest Fika of Sweet Escape who gave me *drumroll please*  

THE HAUTE MESS AWARD !!!

yaaayy I've been blogging for 4 months and I got my first award now. Thank you thank you thank you!!

with Michelle of Glisters and Blisters wrote about her 7 fave shopping places and Fika about 7 things she wears on her daily life, I decided to write my 7 what-to-wear rules. It's about my principles of wearing daily so you have no need to follow this if you disagree with me but surely am open for any advice. Here we go . . .

1. It's all about balance

I keep on balancing what I wear. big bottoms goes with stretch tops, and  vice versa

2. I am not comfortable with showing skin, esp around the bust area. I know there's nothing wrong with it but I guess I was grown-up with those kind of understanding. But I don't have problem with minis so hot pants is still something I can wear, in beach only :). Surely cleavage on top area is a no-no for me

3. I am trying so hard to match my bags and my shoes. I have all bag colors cause my mom collects bags but my shoes collection doesn't have all colors yet.

4. Church Dresscode must includes Heels and Skirt/Dress. This is a rules that passed down hereditary from my great grandma to me and will pass it to my daughters. No pants, esp jeans (even if it's a skirt jeans). And as for skirt there are "use proper length" rules.

5. Only one could shine on. Yess, if I wear something there are only one thing who plays the main role, others are just playing the cameo part. If my bag has its own statement then my cloth choices usually a laid back one. If I use a statement shawl like Limegreen Fringe Shawl from Cotton Ink, I use plain tee's.

6. Emphasizing my hips. Yess, I have a big hips and the doesn't lie (just like Shakira, aww) hahahaha. I have some decay on several body parts but it will not make me go to surgery honey. Instead, I put attention on my hips which create curves on me. I'm not obsessed with skinny body though. So belted, high-waisted, pencil-skirted is the one I prefer at most tee hee.

7. Just like Beyonce, I put smile and confidence to complete my rules. YES YES YES it's a must!!!

There are my 7 of something, now I am passing this award to

HEI ECHA!

THE HUMMINGBIRDS 

ECLECTIC DU JOUR

BOLD ROMANCE

waiting for your 7 guys, enjoy your award.
