It's the most beautiful time of the year.

Although my family and I don't celebrate Christmas per se, I do like to give gifts to my Christian/Catholic friends and cousins, and of course to get in the spirit of it by simply having dinner or watch some movies. Christmas has always been a magical time for me the Christmas lights, the decorations, the songs... I wish I could experience a beautiful white Christmas someday, with the people I love; it would be awesome! :)


December 24 Christmas Eve

I went to Plaza Indonesia to have some late lunch at The Playground before buying movie tickets (The Man with the Iron Fists, not recommended btw). They have fun decorations that resemble kids' playgrounds and what I love the most about them is their Aglio Olio. I always request for it to be extra spicy and extra mushrooms, and they never disappoint me.

Had a simple dinner at The Ritz-Carlton (Pacific Place) Hotel with Jess, Yansen, and Jess' boyfriend. The food quality and the service are excellent as expected from them. And it's not too crowded, so that's another plus point for me. Anyway, I used to work there as an intern for 3 months hehe...



Btw New Years Eve is around the corner! Do you already have plans? Well Jess and I are going to have dinner with our big family at Mandarin Hotel, but we still haven't decided yet what are we going to do after that (for the countdown), whether partying with friends or playing fireworks with family or maybe just watching some dvds peacefully. Either way, we will surely express our gratitude to God because 2012 has been an amazing year for us! See you next year! :D

Strawberry Bustier


Yes! There are strawberries on my bustier! How cute is that?!
I mean, the cutting of the bustier itself is cute enough already, and you topped it off with strawberry patterns?? *cuteness overload*


Toned down the cuteness by adding black accessories (leather jacket, studded belt and bowler hat.)


*took off jacket to show you a more detailed look of the bustier*
(plus the weather was killing me)

COINCIDENCE // Kristine's Collection Giveaway! (CLOSED)

Kristine's Collection blue textured blazer | Topshop polkadot high-waisted skirt | Amber Avenue aztec bralette | Gowigasa gold spike necklace | Marc by Marc Jacobs bag | Steve Madden cobalt blue wedges
No idea what my left hand is doing there...

Coincidences happen to us all the time; and the most recent one that happened to me is this outfit you just saw up there.

It started when an online store from Singapore, Kristine's Collection, kindly offered to be my blog sponsor. I was very excited because not only their collection is a treat for the eye, but you can also see that the fabric is well-made and the cutting is excellent as well!

...and boy was I right. When the package has arrived, without further ado, I tried them one by one and they ALL fit my body perfectly! Especially the blue textured blazer that immediately made its way to my "Favorite Outerwear" list.

What I had in mind at that moment was, "I want to pair it with printed bottoms." And so there you go, I picked out my Topshop polkadot high-waisted skirt and my new Aztec Bralette from Amber Avenue; then the next morning before I went to Plaza Indonesia, I took a few shots of the outfit to post it on my (neglected) blog.

On my way to the mall, I browsed Kristine's Collection web store to see if there were any new arrivals, but instead I found this –a list of photos from fashion bloggers who has featured Kristine on their blogs. One of them is Tricia Gosingtian (one of my favorite fashion bloggers) who really surprised me to the core. She wore this exact blue blazer and she also paired it with polkadot print bottoms!! I was like... "WHAT.IS.THIS!!?" and I was thinking about changing the bottoms and redo the shoot all over again because I was afraid I would be accused of copying her! But after a lot of thought and consideration, I just laughed it off as it is pure coincidence that comes at a completely shitty time.


Kindly join our new GIVEAWAY on Facebook (Elle and Jess) to win IDR 150.000 worth of Kristine's Collection E-Vouchers!! ;D♥
