Inspiration Mood Board



It is already autumn and plaid is on the spot now! I am so happy to see a lot of different ways to wear plaids and the colour pattern of the fabric is soooo making me feel happy! I am, like the rest of the fashion enthusiast, is in the mood of plaid. 







Anyway, Shopbop.com is also currently in the mood of plaids and I loveee their chosen collection it making me confuse because I simply want to buy all of them! Be it tops, bottoms, or outerwears plaids will simply put ourselves in the spot once we wear it. But if it was me, I would like to style it the way I love. I love simple and elegant outfit. So I will chose to wear one plaid outfit with other simple and non-patterned outfit. For example, when my coat is plaid, I will wear simple dress in one colour or simple top and skirt, so then my plaid coat will stand out and speak for me, simply making my simple appearance perfect and outstanding. But, then again, that is me! If it were you, how would you like to wear plaids? How will you style it?

Easy Breezy International Shopping in One Click

Been putting my eyes on this Kate Spade flat shoes at Shopbop.com for quite a while and finally decided to buy it even if at first I often feel hesitant about international shopping.




So, to be honest, that was my first experience doing international shopping and the one and only site who can make me believe in them is Shopbop.com. How can't I not trust in them? While in doubt choosing the size for my shoes, I immediately email them for assistance and their customer service reply me just in a short time with a very clear explanation. My first impression is: their service is great and most importantly, fast. So, after being sure about the size, I start to shop.


1. I click my size and click "add to cart". Then the small window appear and I click "check out".



2. I review my shopping item and click "check out".


3. I came to Shipping page then choose "free express delivery with customs and duties deposit" shipping method. This means, I have to add extra money (calculated based on my country's tax payment) for deposit so Shopbop's designated carrier in Indonesia can take care of my customs and duties, so I don't have to take care of any customs and duties by my self, yay!


4. My total shopping and customs and duties payment are shown, then I click "continue" to go to payment method page.


5. Because I happen to have gift certificate, I click it :P Then I choose the type of credit card I use.


6. I put my credit card data and click "save".


7. My credit card data is being shown, then I click "continue" to go to confirmation page.





8. After reviewing all the data and make sure all is right, I click "place order" and tadaaa my order is complete. 


9. The most amazing thing is, in about only half an hour later, I receive an email from Shopbop.com that my package have been shipped and they give me the tracking code and the last time I check it my package is already in Hong Kong! Yay I can not wait for my package to be arrived in Indonesia :D

Now I am asking, do any of you still feel hesitant about international shopping? I suggest you have to try to shop at Shopbop.com and I can guarantee that you will be addicted to do international shopping if you know how easy and safe the process is. Happy shopping!

Smart is Sexy

I hate to surround my self with the same environment for a too long period. It will shape me to be a boring person with only one point of view. Hence, while I can I like to spare my time to hang with people from different ages, different majors, different jobs, it helps me widen my knowledge which I would not easily earn at school. Beside that, I like to surround my self with good books, good movies, and last but not least good characters.

Speak about characters, there are a lot of female character which is not only undeniably beautiful but also unbelievably smart, and not to mention independent, brave, and strong. Not only in the movie do this character exist, but also in real world. Now let us take a look at how they look and what's my favorite quote from them.


"Destiny is for losers. It's just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen." - Blair Waldorf


(Audrey Tatou in Coco Before Chanel Movie)

"Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future." - Coco Chanel 

Oh and slowly but sure the way they think makes me want to follow the way they dress. Their intelligence makes me believe in them. It is not hard to make someone a role model when they not only have their modest and beautiful figure, but also a beautiful mind. So when looking for clothes and in doubt, I will try to remember how this favourite characters of mine will dress and it always helps! Because their character is so strong I could easily remember the way they dress. And this is few amongst a lot of my favourite outfit that resembles my favourite characters I found while I browse through Shopbop.com.



Seeing that dress reminds me of Blair Waldorf. She always dress so modest, classic, and sometimes preppy. If Blair Waldorf see this dress she definitely will choose it! Look at the classic cutting and simple form of the dress, yet the detailed pattern make it stand out.



Coco Chanel, the one who created little black dress, known as the woman who changed the world of fashion. Once you look at her you could easily understand that she is simple, practical, and elegant, not to mention intelligent! But one thing that caught my attention the most is the way Coco is so independent as a woman. And so when in doubt I will automatically think about her! Now take a look at those look above; a simple pencil skirt in off white, simple blouse in navy, the long lasting off white pumps, and elegant pearl choker! In an instant it will create an elegant and fierce image once we combined it with a smart and beautiful mind.

Now you wondering where did I find those look? Well, you could easily found those looks above at Shopbop.com, which is a member of Amazon group. Shopbop provides a lot of designer goods and I never thought that I could easily find a whole clothing from top to toe which suits me best only in one site, but Shopbop.com did it and I am a happy shopper :-D

Screw Business as Usual




T shirt (Unbranded), Skirt ( Tailor-made), Shoes (Wondershoe)

No matter how busy I am, I always have one rule I have to do and never allow my self to have excuses to not do this one thing: read book. I feel book helps me to get a wider point of view in a magical way. How about you?  Currently, I am reading Screw Business as Usual by the one and only Virgin Empire owner, Richard Branson and there is this one quote I really love and always remember: 


"Humour can often be a far better way to change behaviour than just trying to scare the hell out of people"
