Hello! It's less than 24 hours before the new year rolls in and I found this blog post from into-mind.com that listed questions to answer in order to help you reflect your 2014.

Hello! This time I am guest blogging at Bivi's website. Click HERE for a more complete article. In this post, I'm not going to lecture you about the importance of bringing a copy of your travel documents or to always always stash extra cash, it's more like mantras to keep in mind when you're traveling.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it! Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, I do hope you enjoy the peaceful ambience of this season. Do remember that a savior is born unto us today over than two thousand years ago. Let's all be grateful and say happy birthday Father Jesus!
Just an outfit I wore for one of my many Christmas celebrations. I always love a good lace top and decided to combine it with a bright red midi skirt. It's only appropriate to wear red in Christmas month! :)

I had SO much fun putting together this outfit at DailyLook.com . I know it looks super simple but it actually took me over an hour to make this set. LOL. I'm not the most savy-tech person and I was confused with the three other LBD contenders. I actually changed the dress twice before I decided to settle with this off shoulder fit and flare dress. I give a blue pop of color because I think red pop is too mainstream while blue is softer but still flashy enough for a nice touch of color.

I like this Cameo dress better than the other three because it's sweet enough for a family/work event but also sexy enough with bare shoulder and cleavage for a club/party/date event. Plus, the fit and flare works for all kind of body type and the v-neckline showcasing your collarbone will make any girl looks slimmer. Click more to see the other 3 contenders!

Yeay a fashion update at last!
Honestly these pictures belong to my store's lookbook. I still haven't find the spirit to get to my camera and tripod out just yet but this one will do, right?

Everything cape has been a big hit here in Indonesia. I love how it exudes elegance and mystery in the same time. The blazer version is so much more versatile hence it's not too strange that I own two of them already, black and white color. I will try to shoot an outfit with them soon :)
The blouse/top version is so much affordable although it's not as "cool" as the blazer, in my opinion. But it does retain the similar fancy and polished atmosphere.

Went to Tebing Keraton last weekend. It was quite a ride to get there so make sure your car's tire is fully equipped! Also, I will suggest to go in the summer and avoid rainy days because when the path (which is pure soil with a little grass here and there) is wet, it gets super slippery! Hence, make sure to wear suitable gear as well. I guess jeans and sporty shoes will be your best option. 

So our next stop is Cake A Boo. This place recently opened in the middle of November 2014 so we did feel very hip! LOL. You can easily spot this place thanks to its oh-so-cute exterior. It's on the same row with Locale24.

It's so fluffy I'm gonna die! Of diabetes, most likely...
Visited Shirokuma Japanese Dessert Cafe at Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta with my friends as a short getaway for the weekend. It's an adorable little spot for dessert lover out there. It's quite new, opened in the middle of 2014.
