2012-01-24T09:12:00.000-08:00

This is some more. So far I have made 21 designs. Pants. Jumpsuits, Tops, etc.

I have not found the right label yet. Any suggestion? It would be grand.

2012-01-24T09:04:00.000-08:00

I am making clothes now, this is some of the drawings. Well, the business is still on progress actually. The design, the cost, the market preference and so on. Pray for me!

Faye's Blue Danube.

My eight year old daughter, Faye, is really an make up addict. So in terms of having fun, I've always loved to grant her wish. This time it's 'Blue Danube' since I've just received a lovely blue eyeshadow from my dearest cousin, Ona Bella. So, here it is.. On Faye..

The Sakura Flowers and The Flowery Harem Pants

A Night Out

2010-06-04T11:09:00.000-07:00

Lovely evening. Had a birthday party with my big family, my auntie turned 67! Decided to wear a black jumpsuit with short sleeve cardi. Just to add the simplicity, blue flats of Oisho accompanied me. Took a quick pic with my eldest son, Josh and his Dad. Josh just had his hair cut this afternoon, right before we went to the party. I like him both with long and short hair. He's just too gorgeous :)

Good night everyone. Have a pleasant dream!

Baby It's Good To Be Back!!

2010-06-02T21:07:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! How are you all? Hope you're having a marvelous day as you wanted it to be! *finger crossed*

As I said before, it's good to be back! Yes, after watching the movie 'Motherhood' starring Uma Thurman (it's about a mom who's scrapping for her daily life with two small children and a husband who 'looked like' he's not helping her at all, and at the same time she wanted to go along with her enthusiasm in writing *she has her own blog* *wink* but didn't have time for it) my husband decided to buy me an USB Modem for my self so that I can 'go along' with my blog, too. (Glad I got him to watch that movie haha)

So, here I am again.. Hope you enjoy seeing me back to the surface! Lol.. Don't have any new pics on the outfits yet, but I want to share a video about the treasure of my life. Again, I hope you like it :)

*The video was made several years ago, located almost everywhere; on the bus, the playground, at home..*

Flats and Heels

2009-12-08T21:12:00.000-08:00

The Dress Story

2009-11-24T07:30:00.000-08:00

This dress was made of silk taffeta and silk organdi with a very elegant color. My favourite color. Made for special reason --my cousin's wedding, November 14th-- a week ago. Alas, I haven't wear it, for one simple reason: The maker had it done on November 13th but managed to give it to me on November 16th *aaarrrgghhhh*

Well, no more complaints. Just enjoy looking at it and am hoping to wear it someday *sigh*

The New Bangs!

2009-10-21T06:18:00.000-07:00

To be frankly, I have never had bangs, or at least this 'Dora' looking bangs like this one. But I'm happy that I made decision to have it. Some says I look more fresh, others say I look younger. Well, I like it both ways. Have a great day!

Why couldn't I find any clue on how to upload my pictures in my Blackberry? Weird :(

Dark Blue Baby Doll

2009-05-12T20:17:00.000-07:00

Whenever I wore this baby doll dress, people always seems to think that I'm pregnant. Perhaps because of the cut or is my belly? ^^ Anyway, I have always loved this dress, it's casual and the fabric just so comfort to wear. The cut of the neck is quite low, so I decided to wear tank underneath. This was the day when we went to celebrate Christmas Eve together at my sister's house.

dark blue dress: mayoo, white tank: thrifted, long necklace: bali, praying mother necklace, white jelly shoes: majorjessi, tote bag: esprit

Hello! How are you?

Sooo sorry for an unbelievable-non-posting-whatsoever, it's been 2 months (!) I did not post any blog and visit yours. I was busy looking for good but cheap ^^ internet connection. The one I used was good but turned out to be very expensive. Well, luckily I have found what I've looking for.

The pics you see are photos of one of the daily bags I love. It's Levi's and it's old. I have had it for 5 years. I love the collage prints and the color. So bright and fresh. Makes my heart jump in joy. I have it on daily basis, like every where! Love this bag.

Hope you have a great week.

Asemka Market!

2009-03-17T17:56:00.001-07:00

Had a stroll the other days at Asemka Market, Central of Jakarta. Heaven for parents to buy some gifts for their kids or anyone who would like to buy something for someone. Here is where you can indulge your eyes (and purse!! ^^) for toys, printed books in any kind of animation, watches, accessories, purses, lunch boxes, etc.

Hope you enjoy the pics. And sorry (again) for lousy updates ^^

PS. actually I wanted to upload more pics, but it seems that this blogger can only do up to 5 pics??

Monday to Friday. I don't know what you are doing during those particular days, but for me: it's divine :) taking my three kids to their school, wait up for them till it's over. Yup, that's what most Mommies do here in Jakarta. Perhaps til the kids are able to 'stand' on their own feet, then there will be no Mommies spent half of their life ^^ in the school yard.

Always try to pick something casual to wear, as you know in Jakarta the air is so humid. Here's what I had in mind couple of days ago.

My Painting

2009-02-11T18:38:00.001-08:00

Hi.

Just watched 'Revolutionary Road' ( starring Leonardo Dicaprio & Kate Winslet). Love the story but really got me a rough sleep. How can somebody so pulled by the thought of their own mind?

But then, the dresses Kate wore in that movie were fantastic, I was hoping they did move to France so I get to see the country and the fashion more :)

Have any of you seen the movie? Let me know.

The Little Princess: Faye The Fairy

2009-02-06T01:56:00.000-08:00

Purpleish Cardigan

2008-12-23T20:10:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas to you all! Have a glorious one!!

Pearls Pearls Pearls

2008-12-11T23:19:00.000-08:00

Back in my home town, Ambon, Moluccas, Eastern part of Indonesia, pearl from the sea surrounding the islands has been the islands’ treasure of many decades. Many foreigners came and bought our pearls, exported it and turned it into a valuable accessories for women.

I remember as a child, my mom bought pearls in excessive amount and crafted it into necklaces, earrings, etc, combined with gold or silver. I remember her mentioning that the black ones were the most expensive ones. Well, I didn’t have any.

Today’s plan is to attend Christmas Celebration at my son’s school. The event will be held from morning till noon. So I keep it simple. Just a layer with a little twist below. Wear it with matching stud and my favorite necklace of “a praying woman”.

Pearls: my own, praying woman necklace: found at garage sale, off-white satin blouse: gift from my sister, blue jeans: Abercrombie, red-gold pump: Eight, red clutch: found at flea market, gold bangles: gift from Australia
