Marni x H&M (here we go again)

2012-02-21T07:29:00.000+07:00

Let's droll babies! The collection will be available at your nearest H&M store soon! Here are some of my favorite pieces!

my personal favorite >.<

I'm so gonna buy the necklaces, bangles, sandals, tops, EVERYTHING! I'm a sucker for floral patterns and shiny things. All the marni pieces are perfect for summer and I love how the intricate patterns find their way to match each other perfectly. The most important thing about this collection is that the t-shirts were made for charity(they will give some of the profit to the victims of Japan's earthquake and Tsunami) What's your favorite pieces guys? Another giveaway?no?

btw i have a tumblr account now! click here to check out another virtual wonderland of mine. It's about fashion, food, love, feelings & whatever. The content of my tumblr is about my current feelings and inspirations. follow my tumblr if you want!

From Moschino With Love

2012-02-20T08:27:00.000+07:00

My friends and i went to Maison Moschino to celebrate our boyless valentine's day. It was one of my most favorite place in Milan to date. The hotel and restaurant was so dreamy! Take a look at the hotel rooms and restaurant here . I'm a big fan of moschino since two years ago and i need to say yes right away when my friend Maria asked me to spend my valentine's day with her, my classmate ayu and her big sis tooo...

i wear: H&M-LBD,kurt geiger-shoes,YSL-arty ring

one of the room's theme:cloud

me and my super beautiful friend Maria

and this is why i love Maison Moschino, the sofas!!! OMG the beautiful gowns behind me and my friend were actually our seats. They were too lovely to be true no? It was one of the most romantic diner in my life(lol). No, my post is not finished yet... I will show you some of the valentine's special cuisines...

appetizers made by chef Moreno Cedroni, he designed the box by himself,it's a limited edition and i got 1!

crab pasta with seaweed sauce + eatable bubble on top!

sea bass with rose petal and sour sauce

Nuff said.... I'm drolling right now...

For all of you readers or maybe food bloggers, you need to go to the maison moschino restaurant before you die... Seriously, all the foods were super delicious, and the presentation of em were so dreamy, this was one of the most precious moments in my life. Good food, good friends and i can't do nothing but grateful to have such an amazing quality time with my girls.

No outfit post for my gloomy valentine... LDR sucks but this lovely little things are just too cute to be true no? I decided to share all of my new babies with you.. >.<...

frog prince!

I purchased the Karl Lagerfeld's light coke 2 months ago in Paris. It was the cutest coke ever and actually the mini carousel is a music box.They put the machine inside the carousel, heavenly!

kurt geiger-heels

YSL-arty ring

Finally got myself this YSL arty ring instead of the turquoise one. It's amazing nuff said. This is the end of the "Lust" part and NOW, let's talk about "love". I love to celebrate valentine’s day every year but no cupcakes or chocolate for mr.B this year. I know this day is arbitrary and we should celebrate our love everyday but to have a special dinner with my boyfriend (and forget about my strict diet plan and stuff) for a few days in a year is not a crime no?. It’s been (almost) 5 months since I left Jakarta…. I missed TOO many fashion and beauty events, my friends,family, chiko and mr.B ;but this long distance relationship made me realized that sometimes we forgot to appreciate what we had. I wish i could capture every precious moment in my life, make a video of it and watch em again as soon as i miss those moments someday. Maybe that's the reason why people do a pre-wedding, maternity and baby photo-shoot. Time will never wait, keep that in your mind people.... I'm listening to whitney houston's "I will always love you" right now. Yes valentine won't be the same without the mother of all love songs. I send my prayers to all of her family, friends and fans.

greatest love of all-courtesy of lunicophotography

Another thing to share about love, yesterday i saw a tweet from lunicophotography .
Lunico said "To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage" . Sweeetnessss!>.< For your information Lunico photography is a company made out of a bunch of hopelessly romantic +creative people. Ah-mazing photography and (in my opinion) they offer many complete packages with a very reasonable price. Do visit their facebook page or follow them via twitter! They offer a special deal for prewedding/couple/anniversary photoshoot in Bali and Singapore right NOW. Don't miss it guys!

What if?

2012-01-28T20:12:00.002+07:00

What if... Winter is warm and summer is super cold? I went to Nice earlier this year with my fam, YES Nice was my winter wonderland coz it was sunny all day long!I really miss the warm(or maybe super hot) weather of Jakarta(read:Bali T__T).
BTW how are you pretty indonesian people? yesterday there was an earthquake in Milan, i was at school(sewing my first shirt) then suddenly the earth was shaking, i was a lil bit shock but I've been through many earthquakes in Indonesia, my heart told me to keep calm and keep sewing. I also heard(and saw) the video of a very awful accident in Jakarta. My heart goes to the victims and their family.

i wore:charles jordan sunnies, gifted-jumpsuit,prada-bag

There was a kid who died because of that super careless woman.He made me realized that time is precious.Last year everybody were talking about the end of the world according to the Mayans etc. What if.... This year is the last year of your life? What if the judgement day will come sooner than you thought? Will you buy that pair of louboutin that you really love? will you hug and thank your parents before they suddenly disappear ? Will you be bitchy and full of hatred all the time for the rest of the year? No I'm not ready to die, Steve Jobs said that everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die. I need to give my parents all of the happiness that they gave to me, i need to say sorry to everyone I've ever hurt and i know how it feels to be hurt. I've tried my best to be a better person each day, but have you ever hate one person so much til you become exactly like him/her? my new resolution is to forgive then forget. How about you pretty people?btw i went to gym hours ago (for the first time here in Milan) and i almost died... too much macaroons, pizza, and pasta? any diet suggestions?

Black Parade

2012-01-24T22:34:00.000+07:00

the pretty girls and i

Solange knowles was super pretty

the best red velvet cake EVER

I just realized that my friend and i were wearing all black two weeks ago(in front of the Dolce & Gabbana fashionshow). The crowed were unbelievably insane, all the pretty boys suddenly burst out from the main entrance, some of them were so friendly! The highlight of the day was That's bakery's red velvet cake! haha, it's the best red velvet cake I've ever taste, have you ever tried union's red velvet? this was 100 times more delicious than that...btw
i wore zara-coat, H&MxVersace-leather dress, love moschino-clutch

2012-01-22T15:02:00.000+07:00

I saw these pic on my memory card last night and decided to post em up on my blog. my sis took these pic a month ago in rome. It was my favorite coat of all (before my sis gave me her black coat). btw i really miss jakarta and all of the pretty people inside + my(handsome) dog chiko.
One more thing to share, since this blog is my virtual diary.... which ring do you prefer?

this one? (took this image from net-a porter)

Roberto Cavalli Fall/Winter 2012-2013 Fashion Show

2012-01-16T03:50:00.002+07:00

video courtesy of Hippie Gone Mad

I decided to share my (very amateur) video of yesterday's cavalli show to all of my readers. I really wish i could bring my tripod. Cavalli's fashion show was a menswear wonderland. He played with different texture and surface treatments, leather and velvet combined into some reptilian patterns. Different identities were shown yesterday, from classy to urban dandy. From a tight fitted suit into an over-sized outerwear. Son of dave sang tremendously without a flaw, it was one of the most ah-mazing night in my life ever. He was the man behind the white background btw.

When I Double The Fun

2012-01-10T06:48:00.004+07:00

Another lonely day in Rome? There's a huge empty space beside me, i needed a friend to share every frame that i took, or maybe my (super petite) big sis?

Sister: is the girl that will always be there for you and may save you one day, whether you know it or not. your sister may or may not be related to you and could just be an amazing friend, but either way your sister is always slow to judge and quick to forgive. she will always love you, she might just hide it from you.-urban dictionary

i doubled the fun!

The one thing that i never share with my siblings is the empty space beside me in every frames of picture in my blog, but i decided to double the fun and let my big sis from LA stepped in and she's a PRO! I dedicated my first two posts of 2012 to her, coz she's simply amazing. Thank God i have a big sis who always had my back and whether she realized it or not, i feel.... loved. No not because she bought me my first pair of shoes in 2012(ha!) but because of her.... i know that i need to change, to be a better person, to be the best of myself, to share, to care, and to genuinely be a very bestfriend of everyone.nuff said.

City of Love

2012-01-08T05:11:00.000+07:00

Alone	:
	1.) An emotional feeling you get when you feel that there is no one there to support you or, sometimes, love you. 2.) A physical feeling you get when there is no other presence of a human being in the same room.

i wore: H&M-sweater and Jeans, prada-bag,charles jordan-sunnies

Dream:An excuse to succeed in life....

It was a gloomy day, the sun was too shy or maybe he took a day off because it's the last day of 2011. I wore my red pants to brighten up my day. The city was and IS too beautiful(and huge) to be true... It's cold outside but it was all worth it. The whole karmoko's clan were there haha. My sis left her wallet in Milan but what's mine is and always be hers anyway. I miss her already(and will upload gazillion photos of us later), she went back to LA yesterday; left me with her favorite coat and a pair of brand new shoes. Yes, you're the best sis.
The gloomy weather in Paris made me miss mr.B even more,the city of love knew how lonely one could be without the other half of oneself. God gave me the most valuable lesson of the year; finally He made me realize that money could buy me a ticket to the city of love, but it's not the "love" that i needed the most. I thought it'll be the happiest moment of my life, then i saw a bunch of couple walking hand in hand in front of the Eiffel tower , literally singing and kissing in the rain. Me? Thank God my sis was there...
I've checked my biggest 2011's dream already and one of my 2012's resolution will be "Dream Bigger". I have a list of dreams and when i think the time is right I'll put some of them into my yearly resolutions, it'll be stupid to put "adopt 3 kids and become as rich as Oprah this year" if you're still a teenager no?. The purpose of new year's resolution(to me) is to remind me that I'm blessed. I realized that time will never wait, you're getting older and need to be better each day, to be mature is just a matter of choice. I'm not perfect and will never be but at least I'm trying to be a better person each day. How about you pretty people?Happy new year btw.... ciao

I Need More Shoes

2011-12-23T18:55:00.000+07:00

Finally updated!Yes yes yes my mom keep telling me that i only have a pair of feet, 1 or 2 pair of shoes are enough but NO, never say shoo to a new pair of shoes people...
I signed up for a competition weeks ago,YES it's all about a pair of shoes.This is my first fashion video ever btw, i compressed the size of the video so....Sorry for the super low quality of the video, will it be slower for you to load if i upload the actual size of the video??? please do answer this Q so i could upload the pweety one. haha
Thanks to my classmate ayu who made this video for me.. I didn't win the competition but i have nothing to lose. Sometimes it's not about the presents and freebies. It's about challenging your creativity, doing what you love and of course having one more reason to shop.. yeayness.btw the day after tomorrow is Christmas day!!! 2012 is near! Have you made your new year's resolution? My first resolution will be "wiser than ever" then "paris with mr.B" haha.
Speaking of new year's resolution, Thank God i checked 27 of mine! and 2 of my all time bucket list was "new year in Paris" and "give something to the luckiest person ever" . Checked the second one and will checked the first one too!!! what about you?

i wore: versace x H&M-necklace and dress, vintage-bag,vintage gucci-watch, H&M earring

Chanel Paris-Bombay Metiers d'art prefall 2011/12

2011-12-10T08:22:00.001+07:00

I think this is the most beautiful runway setting ever, it's Karl Lagerfeld at his best. OMG the pre-fall collection should be classified as the haute couture collection, with all of the precious jewels, high surface treatments, super delicate fabrics, fine cuts, beads, embellishments, gold plated prints , accessories, sartorial and draping techniques; those master pieces are way too precious for RTW or demi couture. Love love love everything, the merge of two different cultures worked well, all the pretty models with their flat boots and sandals catch my attention. Karl loves to try new things without eliminating the main identity of Chanel. sorry coco, but Karl is the man!

btw there's a new widget on the left side of my blog, thank you so much for all of the lovely emails that you've sent to me , and yes you can ask me(almost) anything!

i wore:mom's-blazer,riotous-striped tee, vintage-jumper,steve madden-heels, african-barcelet, vintage-bag

15 years ago all i wanted in life was to be a grown up, i secretly sneaked into my mom's closet and wear her favorite blazers(yes that blazer above). My biggest dream was to become a superhero or a doctor( doctor was, is and always be(i hope) our modern day super hero!) or my mom. Yes, she's my superhero. To become a mother of 4 is not as easy as you thought. I'm 19 and for me, even to become the perfect girlfriend is nearly impossible. She managed to become the wife of her 30th anniv boyfriend this year, yes for the dailyversary couple it's 30x365 days, let your calculators do the math.
Sooner or later we will be the grown ups one day, we're getting older and i hope wiser each day. Yesterday i decided to become a better version of myself, to be more open minded and to be able to trust someone. I learned a lot from mr.B, thank you... and how about you?

Another thing to share, short hair or long hair? I want to cut and color my hair so much. The loveliest lunico photography took this picture for me @ their studio in Kelapa Gading Jakarta, months ago (yes yes I'm a bad blogger)They're the most friendly, sweet, and professional company with a bunch of creative people that will capture the best moment of your life so that you won't miss it. They do pre-wedding, wedding, maternity, fashion photo-shoot and video. I saw their prewed photos and it was amazing. super sweet and lovely! just click their logo on my sidebar for more info! uh oh i booked them for my next year's capsule collection photo-shoot HAHA.

2011-11-16T20:11:00.001+07:00

should i change my blog's name?... no?

So much questions and comments about how am i supposed to blog. i really appreciate every comments that you wrote and every loving supports that y'all gave to me. Yes i used to be a tree hugger (i swear) before someone told me that i used too much hairspray and I'm too fierce+clean(what???) to be a hippie. I love the idea of hippie, to be careless and free, to live peacefully and happily. Some people told me to become a professional blogger,change my name, header, theme, etc; but my first intention was to blog for fun, when did this lovely virtual world become so complicated? My friend shared this song below a few days ago please click the play button!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my baby Hippie Gone Mad.... A year has passed but my virtual wonderland remains the same, no? A year ago i posted my first blog post about shoes! then time flies too fast and NOW I'm in Milan, chasing my wildest dream. Should i write my blog in Italian too? lol. I never thought that i could have so many readers because i made my blog for fun. It's my virtual wonderland, i could post anything that i want, made friends with many pretty people from another wonderland like sonia ,olin , ario ,michelle k , carol , claire ,fhenny , michelle h , arnold , bertie , lalita , diiyn, and MANY more (i miss you all so much!!!) , attended many cool events, and last but not least freebies(haha) but NEVER ever make a blog just because of the "popularity" factor, nowadays many people make a blog with some wrong intentions. Do it because you love it, whether you're a food blogger, fashion blogger, style hunter, etc. Blogging is about sharing and expressing what you feel, see, and think. Fashion is your language if you're a fashion blogger,it's your passion! don't give all the ah-mazing people in this virtual wonderland that put some efforts to express what they really love bad names(amen!). I consider myself as a newbie in this mad world, I'm not an expert and I'm still "learning", some people tried to bring me down with those silly anon comments, + some heartless people just copy paste their 9 lines of self promotion essay in my comment box.If you really love what you do, there's no need to send hate mails, promo essays, etc. I'll love you anyway, everybody have they're own uniqueness right? nuff said.

Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you-Oprah

I really want to give at least one thing for my readers but i (rewwwlay) don't know how to send em to indonesia. who wants a special giveaway? if my babies want then I'll make sure that I'll give you something sweeet from milan(no not laduree macaroons).

Last but not least thank you so much for all of the supports and comments through this amazing year. Thank you for all of the sponsors and also for the invitations( so sad i have to say no for all of the upcoming fashion events just because i currently live in Milan, but i'll be home for 2 months next year yeaay) btw please check out my new sponsor "Dignity" because they really make their clothes with a good purpose and quality!! You can see my review about em here or just click their logo in my sidebar (yes Hippie Gone Mad is open for sponsorship & ads NOW) . ciao!

yes you can swim here

When i saw these pictures, i suddenly burst into tears...I miss Mr.B and also Bali. Too much memories there, yes Mediterranean sea is the best sea I've ever seen, but not the best sea I've ever been. There's always something that money can't buy. YES Money can buy almost everything but a true relationship with another human being.
another lesson to learn, you can have everything that you want, but not at once. I'm living my wildest dream, not my biggest dream. There's a price that you must pay for every single thing that you want and i hope I've chose the right decision

Mad Ads

2011-11-06T00:08:00.000+07:00

Rick Genest! he's the boy from the lady gaga video. I screamed a lot when i saw this video... it's ah-mazing. He's a french guy btw, those few words with subtitles are french words.You can't really judge a book by its cover right? You need to accept others without any exception, for all of the low-lifes people who think that a man with some tattoos is a criminal and a handsome man with a plain t-shirt is the sweetest guy on earth.... watch out.

Derma blend tattoo concealer products were ah-mazing, yes with all the rocket science formula you can even hide your scars and stuff.

+ somebody just said that this is my first makeup product review ha!

Happy belated Halloween day guys! I dressed up as Audrey Hepburn two days ago, life's been good to me lately,i wish mr.B was here though.
those shoes are my first babies that i bought here in italy. too preppy for me no? I also made that trousers by myself, yes for all of the so called brainy people who belittled my passion for so long.....nuff said
Some people want to become a fashion designer just because they love to read vogue, they love to shop, they love models and they got the greens to make their own clothing line. I want to be a fashion designer so that i could change my client's life. Have you ever have one specific thing that could make you happy no matter what? clothes and shoes have the capability to make me happy(or sometimes crazy). Shoe stores are my wonderland since i was 7 years old.I could spent hours of my life there looking at those pretty things,those curves, materials, ruffles,stitches,heels,pearls,chains.ah-mazing . I chose fashion as the way to express my daily feelings, to share my happiness with others and i hope someday i will be a superhero of my own...
your dreams will come true... sooner or later, your happiness will come-ck

Wear Your Dignity

2011-10-26T07:06:00.000+07:00

I went to via moscova a few days ago, yes i let my litas walk with me for awhile. It's already cold here in Milan, benvenuto autunno! but i couldn't resist myself to wear my Dignity cloth tee. I really love the skull candy details and it's my comfiest t-shirt ever! It fits me like a glove and in this extremely cold weather this baby surprisingly could make me warm, I used this tee once back in summer(yes the light cotton material is ah-mazing).I got this tee from Dignity cloth,

Dignity Cloth is a new international streetwear brand from Indonesia, they will launch they're first collection next month!(November '11) through their official website www.dignitycloth.com and you could also check out their collection via facebook and twitter. They sell unisex tees+hoodies and some menswear products such as chambray, chino pants and beanie, last but not least they also manage to sell the authentic New era caps with their logo in it. Please do see the new era cap here .

I love their slogan "Dignity is Our Glory" because nowadays young people tend to easily lose their dignity for money, power, status, etc. It's amazing how Dignity cloth has a thoughtful reason to sell their clothes. Wear your dignity, will you?

Taste of Home

2011-09-17T13:59:00.002+07:00

I was invited to Starbucks "Via" launching at Upper room Jakarta a few days ago
, thanks to natasha (yes she's the prettiest food blogger in town). I'm a fan of Starbucks since (maybe) 5 years ago, I'm in love with their caramel macchiato then frappucino then green tea and so on. Only God knows how many times I have embarrassed myself by ordering a grande cup of ice blend in another coffee outlet -.-. I was pretty devastated when my friend told me that there are no starbucks outlet in Milan!!(yes,two exclamation marks are not enough to express my feelings right now and i wish i could copy&paste my bbm's emoticon here on my blog). Long story short, i prayed. Yes as cliche as that, and He answered my prayer two days later. Ha!

The infamous Starbucks "via" is here people! Via is an Italian word for road or way, it's the first line of Starbucks instant ready brew coffee here in Indonesia. The first two types of via were Colombia and Italian roast. I love the Columbia one because the Italian roast was too strong for me. You can buy em in a small package of 3 or a large package of 12.

*drooling

The most exciting part of the day was not only the ready brew coffee but also the little ready to go cakes and cookies. There were toffee cake, mile, bond, and hollander cake. The toffee cake was my favorite btw! It was the perfect match for my Colombia via, too bad i can't bring em to Milan with me.

i wore: vintage-top,vintage bag-Germany,gifted legging-hongkong,kloom-platforms

At last! I need nothing but a mug and 180 ml of hot water to drink a great cup of coffee anywhere and anytime in Italy. It was a taste of perfection, it was a taste of home.

You Colour My Life

2011-09-12T14:56:00.000+07:00

i wear: unbranded-top, yellow pencil skirt-hanakeshop,shoes-kloom

I took the title of my blog from one of my favorite song ever, you colour my life by westlife. I KNOW, i know but i love em since i was a kid and they were so handsome 10 years ago. *shameless confession*. Speaking of years..I will go to Italy in 10 days, i need something sweet and bright to cheer me up. Some people can make their dreams come true in years, i make em come true in days... I cried a lot lately, i need a few more months to say goodbye. Yeah I'm a lil bit emotional right now. The secret to success is not about how lucky you are, it's about how many sacrifices you're willing to make. I don't know why but clothes always find its way to make me happy. I wear a lot of pink, red and today i wear everything but black.
Thank you so much for the super comfy and amazing skirt from hanake shop, i can wear it with a simple white tee and still look super chic without any effort at all. Grab em fast ladies! click here for more info and colors. Hanake shop also sell many accessories such as rings and necklaces. >.< *faint

First appearance of my baby.. chiko! He wanted to steal the spotlight so why not? lol. He even managed to look good (and super handsome) when i was not ready to be photographed... -.- . He's my first bday present from mr.B and soon became my only child and he's SINGLE, anyone?

i'll miss em the most

Last but not least, Mr.B... he will punch me(not literally) when he find out that i include a picture of him in my blog post. haha. He's my best photographer ever, my bestfriend, and lover. I can write more than 10 pages of essay about him but the most important thing from that picture above is that he always wear black colored clothes since i knew him almost 2 and a half years ago but look at him NOW... look at his chino pants! *biggest achievement ever*.
I'll miss all of my blogger friends too! No need to mention their names, but i'll let y'all know that you've colored my life. *baci e abbracci*

Another girly outfit! I went to church with this lovely outfit 2 weeks ago(minus the heels) because i injured my left knee(as y'all may know if you followed my twitter) . I'm not a fan of pink but these babies are too cute to be true and it's fun to be a lil bit girly sometimes. no? They are kloom's premium collection btw. i'm a lil bit insecure with my hair for the last few weeks so i keep changing my hair style from side parted, center parted, curly, straight, wavy, etc. Do you have any suggestion? should i cut my hair short?

last but not least Happy Idul Fitri for all of my muslim friends and readers!

I spend my independence day holiday by walking on the runway for kloom last Wednesday at Grand Indonesia Shopping Town.The event was held by adler project in order to celebrate our beloved country's Independence day. The backstage was like a little heaven to me, too many uber cool and cute shoes there! I wish i could bring em all home that night. I love the chiffon dress that i wore too! The clothes were all May&June's.

Kloom is a local brand that produce ah-mazing clogs and sculpted heels, their premium collection are absolutely breath taking!I always love how kloom sculpted each of every heels and wedges that they produced. For your information you could grab em all if you want at their newly launched offline store at the Under Ground(UG) level of Gandaria City, and Plaza Indonesia(coming soon). Check out their online store here .The most exciting thing that happened that day was that Nadya suddenly gave me a chance to bring two yesss two pairs of kloom's shoes home. Thank you so much kloom for the opportunity. I hope i can extend my kloom clogs collection soon!!

Bear in Mind

2011-08-19T20:12:00.002+07:00

vintage nude-shirt, riotous-skirt, forever21-shoes, rattle&bites-clutch

Have you ever felt the longing for something but deep inside you knew it can't be fulfilled? I honestly hate my bone structure, my clumsiness, my fat belly and arms, my skin tone, etc . yesss.. we're all humans after all... To be good enough is not enough this day, we live in a society that demands for perfection. Everybody wants to be fragile, petite and flawless. Somebody just told me to lose some weight, i know i know that i have big bones and unfortunately i love foods as much as i hate them, the thing is, just like a quote from Austin Powers movie said " I can't stop eating. I eat because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle. Now, if you'll excuse me, there's someone I'd like to get in touch with and forgive... myself."

2 days ago i was a little bit shocked when i know that all of the(long haired) models will strut the runway with their clean and curly pony tails. I never pulled my hair back just because i wanted to hide my round and chubby face, it's ironic that deep inside i have a very low self esteem but thank God with every support from my family, friends and most of all my boyfriend i sometimes think that my life is worth living for and i don't need to be petite to be beautiful, vice versa for all the petite dolls in the world!!! Maybe 1 month from now i will be the petite one among all the gigantic Caucasians.

For every sarcastic and insensitive ladies please never call someone Fat just because you knew that you're thinner and that F words are the most painful word to hear, yes they will took it personally and yesss bear in mind that maybe someday they will be as thin as you but you will still have the worst personality ever.I've learned my lesson and for the past 6 years I'm so against bullying, I'm very PROUD to say that i never and will never be the very mean and obnoxious "anon" who spit hundreds of mean words to someone that they don't even know. If you hate me please kindly give me your phone number and email or at least lemme see your name. Screw all the lowlifes anon.
Last but not least, Mr.B took those lovely photos two days ago after i became one of the models in an event(i will post it later). I wore 3 of my favorite pieces that day, my mom's vintage shirt, riotous bodycon skirt and my rattle&bites clutch! Happy belated independence day INDONESIA! ciao bella!

Time flies too fast huh?i retweeted a quote from a friend of mine weeks ago about how time flies too fast and yet so many things to do. btw I have a super exciting news for you all!

Yup as you can see she's the gorgeous one in the third pic from above. Revlon launched their new make up counter inside Sogo department store that day. My mom was so excited to see the makeup class and when i won the best dress nominee she was like "wooot, i thought you were a lil bit nuts when i saw you pick daddy's blazer from the closet yesterday" -.-"... i also got 2 shopping vouchers but my mom used one of em and i gave the last one to my friend,Ayu. I convinced her to buy a red lipstick, eyeliner, foundation,etc... Revlon should hire me as their marketing manager lol . I had a great time and last but not least thankyou grazia magazine and Revlon for the useful tips and of course the makeup essentials. btw it's August already! I’d like to wish happy fasting to all my Muslim friends/readers and those who participate to show some respect or for health reasons! ciao

this is the girly side of me, i wore this outfit weeks ago when i met my favorite ladies in the blogsphere. No red lipstick, no black and no boots + i (finally) smile.Got the silk top from my mom(yeah it's vintage) and my grandma bought me that necklace from bali! Some people said i never smile in every pictures of my blog, and so i smile... some people look very pretty when they smile but i am not one of those people. I've tried several times to smile but... only God knows how many pictures I've deleted just because i looked like an idiot when i smile.T__T.

Last but not least, i got this devastating news yesterday, one of my favorite singer of all time Amy Winehouse, died . The reason of her death remain unexplained, my heart goes out to her loved ones and the people everywhere in the world that are dealing with the same tragedies and addictions. I saw her last performance on youtube, she was booed during her concert in Belgrade and she cried for 10 seconds while she sang back to black...stop hating someone just because you have the rights to. May you rest in peace Amy,smile.... don't cry...

Tik Shirt 1st anniversary

2011-07-21T15:34:00.001+07:00

I went to Tik Shirt store at level 1 Grand Indonesia Shopping Mall last Sunday to accompany a friend of mine (a.k.a blogger extraordinaire) ario achda . It was Tik shirt's 1st anniversary event and guess what! I once again made my own batik and this time i chose the blue one >.<. I was so excited!! btw i met The evita nuh and her sweet sister (Rani)there. I also met rahnee putri for the first time and she was so lovely and funny.

Another thing to share, i removed 2 of my wisdom tooth yesterday and it hurts so bad, my gums were swollen and my cheek is getting bigger and bigger , it was(ironically) a wise decision to remove my wisdom tooth though and last but not least i passed my Italian a1 final exam and my toefl exam too!!! Thank God and THANK YOU y'all for your love, prayers and support. xoxo

Shoes has been my bestfriend for more than 10 years, those babies encourage me to feel beautiful, confident and sometimes(okay most of the time) sexy.

Judith(the owner of Judittie) gave me this super chic and comfy cutout sweater and i decided to brought my casual look to another level with it. For those who think that you can never look chic and feel comfortable at the same time, think twice! Of course you must sacrifice your comfort for something BETTER every now and then but if you could look good and still feel comfortable at the same time why not? I love to wear a pair of sky-scrapper stilettos but sometimes my wedges and clogs are the better choice for me to rock my outfit without any pain at all.
btw i post a picture of my gifted shoes weeks ago and finally i got the chance to wear my UP shoes in my this post. Those babies are so comfy and its adjustable dolls! Its not my typical heels but some people told me that i should buy that kind of shoes more, my friends said that i look more normal in it, more...human. For those who have already met me, what do you think?

Embracing Indonesian Culture

2011-07-04T19:17:00.000+07:00

my first batik!

mom's first selfmade batik

karawitan

I went to Laksita Mardhawa 2 days ago with my mom. There was a special event called "Keluarga Membatik" there. My mom and i learned how to make a piece of handmade batik. For those who never heard about "batik" before, here's the info from my march 2011 blogpost.
Laksita Mardhawa is a school for national or international citizens(of all ages,) who wants to learn javanese traditional dance and music. I learned how to play "gamelan" ( Gamelan is a musical ensemble from indonesia) too! It was a fun and unforgettable experience for me. I never love batik that much until i saw the process of making it and did it by myself, it was not as easy as i thought! The instructor said that a flawless handmade batik took 3-4 months to finished and what i did 2 days ago was just a (very) small part of it. The founder of Laksita Mardhawa said "Your generation never embrace your own traditional culture while many people from the other side of the world willing to pay a huge amount of money to master it and claim it as theirs". Those words were a slap in my face. That's why i decided to post this on my blog. Its July already people! Time flies too fast...

Shoeporn pt.5

2011-07-02T00:18:00.001+07:00

It's been ages since i post my last shoeporn.. Every woman in this world should at least have 1 pair of 5"++ heels. It'll change your life!! For beginners i recommend you to buy a pair of kitten heels or maybe wedges. You need a little courage to walk slowly in heels but it takes some skill to walk faster or maybe run in your 5" stilettos .One of my friends tweeted this 2 months ago "never judge me unless you walk in my 5" stilettos all day long" and i couldn't agree more. Btw its july already wish me luck for my upcoming toefl and italian language final exam *crossingfingers

		I welcome June 2011 to my life!! yeah june july and august will be the BUSIEST months of my life, coz i took some language courses such as Italian and English , then within a few months (if God doesn't change my plan) i will pursue my wildest dream to become a fashion designer and also studied intensive footwear design . i love clothes so much and of course i've been collecting dozens of shoes in my whole life,,, i decided to take my fashion design BA first though no? yes? some people said " just because you love clothes so much it doesn't mean that you should become a fashion designer".SCREW them ! you should love clothes and fashion so much to become a good designer, making clothes is the art of my life for me.It gives me a priceless satisfaction everytime i create something new with my own hands. I used to care too much about what people think of me but i know that in the end they won't care much about my decision anyway. Live your life to the fullest! discover your abilities and make your wildest dream come true. BOYS are allowed to be fashion designers/stylist/lover , take a look at alexander wang, roberto cavalli, or even TEX saverio.. Last but not least, i just found out that someone called "indrawati widjaja" claim that she's me on facebook. She REuploaded all of my photos and stalk my boyfriend's facebook acc to get more. LAME LAME LAME...the other one use my name as her fb name and uploaded sonia's photos as her profile acc.NO i never claim myself as sonia eryka, she's a good friend of mine but she's definitely not me. -.- This is my official facebook account cindy karmoko, i only have one facebook account and soon will make a copyright for all of my online properties, i won't approve every friend request but you could have a 140 characters chit chat with me on twitter. much love! <

I was invited to CLARA magazine 360° Revival Night at Pacific Place Mall. It was dreamy and fun!!! all the foods were so delicious and irresistible esp, the chocolate MAGNUM shake as you can see above. The revival night didn't stop there! The fashion show was awesome and unforgettable! Kle, Andreas Odang, and Tex Saverio were the three super talented designers who show their jaw dropping collections that night. I was super excited when Giovanni (Sonia's childhood friend) allowed us to go to the backstage and met TEX SAVERIO. yessss THE lady gaga's costume designer. He was so friendly, humble and he's only 26 years old!

Clara magazine surely has changed a lot, it was bigger and better! it definitely becomes one of my favorite magazine to date.

Did this ahmazing photoshoot last year for my yearbook photoshoot(this was my yearbook committee photoshoot) . Yup! YEARBOOK! i was the head of my yearbook commitee and we decided to have "element" as our yearbook's theme.... it came with a box made of wood (I promise you I will show the rest of my yearbook later on my blog)

I saw those ah-mazing photos in my yearbook weeks ago and thank God the photographer ferry rusli and his assistant laurentius wisnu still save those babies for me but sadly they haven’t got a chance to give em because of their hectic schedule until last week! I was so excited when I saw those lovely pictures in my inbox.

This was my first underwater photoshoot,it was harder than I thought actually so forgive me my facial expression was not fierce enough lol, but it kinda reminds me of the little mermaid and antm photoshoot though.i wore: my mom's vintage mermaid dress and vintage bracelet

It's been a very busy week for me, i began my italian language course earlier this week and it was FUN. I also met new people and made new friends. My teacher is a native italian(yeah he's kinda cute and very very very funny). I also went to several launching parties( i will post em later on my blog) and one of them is The Juicy Couture S/S Collection Launching Party!
I accompanied Lil miss Cynthia Wintery to this private party, i took several pictures of her as you can see above( she's the cute one!) .
I love juicy's S/S collection!The BAGS, bracelets, night gowns and dresses were so cute i could die!All the guests had a chance to take pictures with the juicy models and brought em home(i mean brought the PICTURES home). There was also a "glitter me" booth where you could dazzle your gadget with different shapes of glittery studs, and of course my favorite part of this party was the strawberry chocolate fountain! *drooling .
Juicy brought the girlier(i couldn't find the proper word to express my feeling) side of me. Thank you juicy for the awesome night! xoxo

Believe it or not, we did this photoshoot spontaneously... it was April the 18th, i was suppose to plan my birthday party etc but i was too lazy to celebrate it... then sonia asked me to come to her house and bought her some a4 batteries coz she found her old camera flash. then our randomness became an AWESOME randomness..
i brought my DIY mask and bunny ears so that sonia and i could play with it, and those babies became our coolest property ever!... we went to kelapa gading to meet our boyfriend after we did that photoshoot.it was my most unforgettable birthday "party" ever
last but not least bunch of thanks to sonia who kindly edited those photos above!!!

D.I.Y draped mini dress

2011-05-01T14:27:00.005+07:00

love this mini dress on my previous post?

my first D.I.Y tutorial


it's actually my maxi dress that i wore to nikicio fashion show

1. pinch the bottom part of your maxi dress

2.tuck it in! (make sure that your belt is tight enough so your dress won'tt fall out when you walk or maybe run)please tuck in at least 15 cm of the bottom part so that you can create the drapery

3. repeat step 1 to the back

4. tuck in max10 cm so that you can create a large draped pocket for your mini dress

final result

NO stitches needed so if you girls can't sew anything... calm down, let your belt do the job okay and it'll HIDE your pot belly too!!!
LADIES give your old maxi dress a chance to shine! please DO try this at home , it'll be your fabulous day to night outfit... enjoy!

FORMULA: 1 fabulous body of yours + a maxi dress + 1 belt to help you get the drappey look without stitches + 1 doze of self confidence to wear it + a smile(optional)

Mr.B was happy too coz he got a special discount for his brand new hat!

After i ate a lot of food and have a nice chit chat with a few friends, Mr.B and i decided to come to soniaeryka's home....it was a very very very bad decision T___T

Mr.B took each of every fabulous photos above... i never had an extravagant 17th bday party, and because of that i never got a chance to have a birthday photoshoot...but screw sweet seventeen, as long as my prom dress still fit( that gold dress is my prom dress) i will have my super duper sweet 19th bday photoshoot LOL.

i decided to wear that gold DYI dress( yup i made and sew that dress by myself 1 month before prom ) and a pair of red heels that i bought for my sweet 17 party.. Got that cute tiara at my friend's sweet 17th party 2 years ago .. gaah i miss my senior high school life so much but who doesn't ? time never waits, and THIS is not a rehearsal we can only live once so enjoy your life, play hard but work harder

Having a tea party in my private garden is one of my dreams when i was a child, of course Alice(from Alice in the wonderland) made me want to do it even mooooreee. I bought that hat when i was 6 years old! can you imagine that??!! i told my mom that someday she should come to my private garden and we could have a cup of tea with Mr. rabbit. LOL.

my mom gave me that fabulous vintage blazer months ago but i never have the guts to wear it in public i don't know why... my mom used to wear that blazer pretty often when she was young(that's what she said), and now it's my turn to give that vintage treasure a chance to shine.

I'm definitely not a size 0 kinda girl, i have big bones and am 5'9"... i had a (very) low self esteem but began to gain it in these past few years,i used to be overweight but am at my most normal weight right now. do i feel fat? yes of course but who doesn't?

i realize that normal is not enough coz size does matter , and people will always judge a book by it's cover.... but i believe that beauty comes in all sizes.no?

one more thing to share : Jeans is not my favorite thing in the world, i often feel(and look) fat in it, esp skinny jeans! but this forever 21 super stretch skinny jeans is my only exception! it fits like a glove and surprisingly super comfy!!

i wear: riotous-crop sweater, forever 21-jeans and glasses,headband-unbranded,jeffrey campbell-lita boots

btw thank you so much for dropping by and shopping at yesterday's blogger's yard sale!

CK or nothing at all

2011-03-23T23:06:00.000+07:00

my nickname is CK(read:check-a) LOL, but those video campaign are definitely not mine, it's the other(well known, iconic, legendary, infamous) CK (read:Calvin Klein)

Found those incredibly ah-mazing videos on YouTube yesterday! btw i love abbey's video the most, her voice is so cute i cannot believe that she's 23, she is definitely older than i thought...

and Lara was so skinny! why did Anna Wintour categorized her as a plus size model anyway?!

story of the day: my blackberry was broken and nobody can fix it. T___T so saddddddddd.... too many cute pictures of my pug(chiko) and my mr.B there. T____T
