Hello, lovey dovey people!

Valentine's Day is only less than three days away. Have you found your V-day outfit? Besides the usual pink and floral prints, why not wear something more traditional and ethnic-y? Trust me, you'll still get the romantic vibe. Here in Indonesia, we are best known for our batik and Dhievine, a new local brand is presenting batik in an enchanting and youthful way!

Dhievine is an online store based in Semarang which provides batik apparels and also charming accesories. All of their designs are truly unique and even quaint in some way, thanks to the endless choices of patterns from batik. All of their items are carefully and thoughtfully made by experienced crafters. They also produces very limited number for each item hence you will find no copycat around you! What's more fun is, Dhievine provides design and sewing service on their workshop (do make appointment first). Just click Dhievine Contact Page for more details.

I had a chance to wear their batik skirt (see here and here) and I absolutely adore how the fabric is so smooth and silky against your skin. My last experience with batik had been a very ithcy one and even a smelly one. I'm sure all Indonesian who was obliged to wear batik every Friday understands! However, no worries when you are buying Dhievine items! Their batik doesn't smell at all and it's very light making it perfect for our tropical weather.

Dhievine is launching their special Valentine collection soon! Only 8 designs! Two tops, two mini dress, two long dress, and two skirts. A very limited collection indeed.

I love big breakfast and I can not lie..

This one from Hummingbird is a must try. Although you have to share it with someone because it is way too fulling! And, what a better way to start the day than wearing bright cheerful tonal color such as yellow and orange. Both colors remind me of the sun and I personally think it's important for all of us to always bring your own sunshine!

Have a jolly day all. 

And don't forget to eat your most important meal of the day :)

I had a strange urge to style up this batik skirt sent by the kind Dhievine in a "cool" style. Since I really think batik is cool and the patterns of batik have so much range that it is impossible to count. And ofcourse, wearing batik makes me feel very Indonesian today. Go patriotism!

Dhievine provides many items in batik and I do think what they are doing is amazing. In terms of batik pride and preserving the beauty of batik, reaching for us youngsters who often avoid batik like avoiding rain. They make items that are super wearable and the cutting and styling is very today so don't be afraid to wear batik anymore, Indonesian.. Or you know, any tourists out there! Dhievine provides beautiful, well-cut, rich-fabric (sometimes cheap batik smells, weighs a ton and itchy in your skin, but this skirt is odor free plus very light weight and smooth inside out!) items with very reasonable prices. They also make floral crowns. More about that on the next post this Wednesday :)

I am wearing 60s cat eyed sunnies by RiotsBarbie, top by Velvet, Rivet studded detachable collar c/o Romwe, Fuji Mum simple skirt c/o Dhievine,  and jeans jacket from Scotish.

Wishing everyone a great start of the week!

I have been feeling tired and lack of energy lately.. Checking in with bed early today <3 p="p">
