Let's Go Black

Heyho hello! Just like I have told you guys, I am updating my blog again. That means I play let's-dress-up-and-take-some-pictures again, too.

Actually I had no idea what clothes to wear or what shoes matched. So, I just randomly picked out this outfit and...voila!

Printed blazer: Grandma's closet
Unbranded little black dress: Laki Laki, ITC Mangga Dua
Unbranded shoes: Ladies Market, Dong Men, Shen Zhen

Nude color zipper flower ring: Lumi by Alxalexa

Gold biggy necklace: Ladies Day Bazaar, Cilandak Town Square
Gold bangles: Jakcloth '09

Mind Blowing Collection(s)

It is funny how I can own an accessories-making business but sometimes still admire another business more. Yeah, I am talking about Nefertiti Jewelz. Don't you guys just agree with me that Prita Widyaputri and Theresia Alit Widyasari, who are the owners, are just amazingly creative? Okay, some of you guys may not agree or whatever (which is so unfortunate of you, by the way) but the celebrities, local media, my friends and I totally adore this brand! We see their passion shines through their works.

The best part about Nefertiti Jewelz is that it is so frigging genius how the current trends are always embodied in every single accessory it produces.

Quite recently, they just launched their new collections, Glam Romantic and Dreamed Of Africa.

My Top Five. What's yours?

Also, follow Nefertiti Jewelz on Twitter. It holds great quizzes rather often and the prizes are just..wow. Yeah, 'wow' is the best word to describe it.

Lumi By Alxalexa

As you guys know, I own an online shop called Luminescence. Well, people have been complaining about how hard it is to write and pronounce. So, I have decided to change the name. Not only because of the complaints but also because I'm about to run another business and this new name will be linked to it. And, yeah, by the way, my next project is Alxalexa. Sweet, ey?

Now, please help me say farewell to Luminescence and welcome Lumi By Alxalexa.

The concept of Lumi By Alxalexa is a little bit different from Luminescence. It does not sell second-hand stuff and focuses more on accessories that are hand-made and specially designed to be one of a kind. So far, it has produced statement necklace and statement ring. It still sells clothes, though. Just not second-hand ones. The price range also has gone up a tad (Rp 40,000-165,000). Here are the top samples of Lumi By Alxalexa.

Sparkly boho necklace

Ethnic rows necklace

Not to brag but one of my collection, zipper flower ring, is worn by Ghea Oktarin from Indonesian Idol and Pevita Pearce the main cast of a movie called Lost In Love. Not only them, our one and only Diana Rikasari, one of the most well-known Indonesian fashion blogger, also wears 'em.

The official website or blog for Lumi By Alxalexa is not out yet but some of the collection will be posted rather frequently in this blog. So, stay tune. Okay?

Hello!

Hi, guys. I'm back. Hehe. Finally updating my blog again. It's been a while, huh? Yeah, days had been so hectic for me these last couples of month but I'm free as a bird now. Gonna start blogging again. Enjoy reading my posts. Muacchhh!

Home Sweet Home

After one whole week having fun with my family in Cianjur, I am back. Home sweet home, Jakarta :) The city where 24 hours do not count as one day but as an hour, where dayswill always be days and so will nights.

On the first day being home in Jakarta, the first thing I did was called my friends, see if I could hang out with them the day after. Fortunately, Fitri Vania 'Phai' and Putri Endyana 'Anbud' could make it and we did hang out together in Plaza Indonesia. Dang, what a great time we had that day. We laughed our f-ing assess off at just about everything. Wkakakakaaaa, we joked around, being silly and all. We call ourselves ANSOS (Anti Social) because apparently when we hang out, it always is together - either the three of us or just me and Phai. However, the fun never ends, thankfully.

Family Quality Time

Long time no blog, people. I have been having a blast during this holiday. I went to Cianjur to visit my family. The best part is I finally met my number one niece, Frejya Keona. I played with her all the time, with Dea and Hans, too. We took some ajek pictures - yeah, they are my partners in 'crime'. Here are some of our pictures.

I did her hair and that was when I realised I had no talent in hair styling :P

Me and my family also went to Bandung and Sukabumi but we only went there for a day to each place. You know, just to grab something to eat and all. Also, there was this one day when my uncle took us to Cikalong. There, we had fish for lunch - both grilled and fried. Dang, that place has the most incredibly irritatingly delicious fishy food. Too bad I forgot to bring my BlackBerry, so I did not take any pictures while I was there.

Busy Week

This week Luminescence (my online shop) had its new arrivals, starting from statement necklace, outerwear, vest, skirt and coming-soon statement ring. The concept of my new clothing is 'vintage comes with an attitude'. It is all about combining modernism with vintage thingies because I think it is more fun that way, you can be as modern as you want yourself to be and yet you have that piece of old-fashioned style in you. Nowadays, it is all about welcoming back the 80s and 90s as well as living in the sophistication.

For this season, I asked one of my best friend, Fitri Vania, to be my model. She did great in her photo shoot. Her personality shone through her picture. She brought tonnes of emotion - playful, happy, edgy, awkwardness, spacey and many other.
