Hi, everyone.
Today' post is about espadrilles. A classic summer footwear with its woven sole trademark. Aside from strappy sandals and your trusty white sneakers, espadrilles are a great summer shoe option. For starters, the laidback woven footwear made from rope and canvas is lightweight and looks very summery. They also come in a wide range of styles, from slip ons to wedges, that can add a touch of sophistication and easy breezy vibes to your summer outfit, no matter what the occasion is.


Hi, everyone.
Today' post is from Bodabarn de Provence Resto Bandung located at SaraeHills Punclut (Dago Bakery area). This Bodabarn de Provence Resto Bandung is quite new, it opened around April 2022, which means this place is only a few months old. It is located very near parking area; the one where you go in and pay for parking ticket. So don't be a fool like us and parked at Sarae Hills and Sudut Pandang parking building. It was quite a walk to get here.

Anyway, Bodabarn de Provence Resto is most famous for its backyard with the Provence-esque like facade, creating a seaside French town feels with the beige and the blue. I would say place is living up to the hype as it is very photogenic in every corner of this backyard.
But, the main entrance does look like a barn hence the name Bodabarn de Provence Resto Bandung. 

Summer is in full swing, everyone. The weather has been getting warmer and warmer and we are all breaking a sweat. Which means no more layers and more revealing clothings are now what everybody else is wearing. If you missed the timing and not feeling like you are in the best shape, you can shape your summer body easily with a wholesale shapewear.


I am a big believer of a seamless shapewear. While I usually just wear the shorts; but sometimes the shorts roll up so this bodysuit is a great alternative for when you are wearing a fitted dress. You can also easily add shorts or skirt and an outer for a whole outfit wearing this seamless shapewear. For wearing under your clothes, I highly recommend skin tone, but if you want to wear it just a top, you can go with the black color.

So this is the type of shorts that I usually wear if I am wearing a tight skirt or dress since most of my problem is around my stomach area. And the shorts also really helps to reduce chafing. Thick tights might save lives but it doesn't make them chafing-free. So even tho I'm not wearing tight outfit but I know I will be walking a lot, I would still wear my shorts to prevent chafing.

Of course shapewear is great for when you're in a rush but ideally, you also want to eat a balanced nutrition and exercise regularly to shape your summer body in a sustainable way. While I know exercising on a hot day is like the last thing you want to do, you can opt for swimming as an exercise on super hot days. 


For swimming as an exercise, I think simple is the best. One black swimsuit is the best option when you couldn't care less about your look and just want to burn some calories. Swimming is a great cardio and really helps making your heart and lungs perform better in the future.

Anyway, you can browse around more and read waistdear review before you checked out your cart.


Hi, everyone.
Dad sandals have been trending for a while; since 2019. But back then, dad sandals trend was pretty new and I was hesitant to try eventho I already own a Birkenstock. However, this 2022 dad sandals trend is coming back even stronger than before so I decided to give it a try and style two looks with dad sandals for summer.


Hi, everyone.
June is almost here and summer is fast approaching. While I am a lover of vibrant colors for summer, there is just something undeniably chic about wearing black in summer. So in this post, I will share with you how to wear black in summer.


Hi, everyone.
Went to Sun Date Moon Resto Bandung a few weeks ago. We went there on a Friday during Eid holiday but the place wasn't too crowded. We did get there around 11.30AM, just when they open and when we were going back home around 12.30, the place is starting to get crowded.
Parking is quite spacious, maybe can fit like 10 cars? So it wasn't so bad. 

 


Hi, everyone.
Today' post is about crochet trend for summer. While most people wear their crochet as a top or a cardigan, I am personally not a fan of those since in tropical country, a crocheted cardigan can feel suffocating, so I opt for a much wearable trend for the sunny summer weather; a crocheted bucket hat and a crochet bag.
Crochet is traditionally known to be worn at colder temperature; but I see a few people also opt for crocheted bikini or cardigan which is also wearable but personally, I'm not confident enough to wear a bikini and a cardigan is way too warm for summer weather. Hence, I highly recommend a hat or a bag to join in the fun but in a reasonable way; since a crochet cardigan is not only hot, but can be expensive!


A crochet bucket hat is perfect if you want to try out this niche-trend. 
Not only it is very easy to wear, it is also much cheaper option than a crocheted cardigan. 
There are literally a dozen design for you to choose and I opt for a checkered version for that retro look.






I match my hat color with my shirt color and it turns out very cute.
I personally super love this easy summery outfit.




If a hat is still too much for you, than a crocheted bag is another way to join this trend without spending too much money. 
Once again I opt for a checkered print crochet bag but in a more classic subdued color compared to the bucket hat. 
I love how the checkered print and the colors jazz up my basic summer outfit.






Will you be wearing anything crocheted this summer?

 For many people, moving to a new home can be an extremely daunting thought. Not only does it take a lot of time to move, but you also need to spend extra time thinking about finding a new job. You have to consider all of the friends and family members that you're leaving behind, and you also have to think about the financial implications.

With so much to think about, it can be quite daunting to try and move home. But why do we move in the first place? What drives people to move to a different home if they're not forced by various circumstances? And what can you do about the anxiety you feel when moving?

Change can suck, but it's worth to grow as a person

When we're so used to a routine, it can create a sense of comfort that we get used to very quickly. We wake up every day to the same sights, sounds, and perhaps smells. Our body and mind like familiar things, especially if we're not exposed to change on a regular basis. So when we're presented with change, we can start feeling anxious. We want to go back to how things are and we're worried about the possibility of change.

While change can suck, it's important to remember that you should also embrace it in order to discover new opportunities. You'll be holding yourself back if you don't look forward to change or at least consider your options. Being in your comfort zone might feel nice, but it also makes your growth stagnate and it prevents you from discovering more things in life.

When it comes to moving, the idea of changing everything from the friends you hang out with to your job can be extremely daunting. However, with these new challenges comes new opportunities and room for growth. This is why it's so important for you to embrace changes like moving home.

There are logistical and financial implications that can bother us

There are also things that hold us back from moving because they're either a bother or just very expensive to think about. For example, moving home can be costly in terms of finding a new place to live and also the cost of hiring services to move.

With a specialist like Two Men And A Truck, you can get accurate estimate of how much you can expect to pay for a move. This will help create a bit of security and transparency which can reduce the stress you feel when moving. Another great way to accommodate your move is to ensure that all of your financial responsibilities are taken care of. This can include figuring out your new rent or mortgage payments, securing a new job before you move, and so on.

While these challenges can be tough to deal with at first, they're extremely important if you want to make your home move a lot smoother and less worrying.
