When Big Ben is No Longer The Focus

In one side, this week seemed so long but in the other side it is also seemed so fast. So many things happened and new experiences came. On friday i went to Portobello market for the very first time. It is a pretty market that sells antiques, vintage fashion and yummy foods. It had a really nice time there with my friends. I found my red coat and earrings that i wear in these photos there. Even for the earrings, i got them free because my friend Anissa bought a fur coat in the same shop hahaha. Another thing that i am sure will catch your eyes, is my disco pants. Oh i fell in love at the first sight when i went to Primark. I do not shop there often, but this one is such a fashionable pants!

Another Extraordinary Day

I have been searching for a dungaree for such a long time. Surprisingly, lately we can find it easily in London. I think it's so fun to wear it as it fits my personality. It brings the active, nerdy and artsy impression in a fashionable way. Then, it's so 70's as well! 

We'll have Indonesian Night tomorrow at Imperial College London and i'll be performing Tari Saman (Dance of Thousand Hands) from Aceh. Today we had a rehearsal and my dungaree was just a perfect outfit for it. All i can say is... i can't wait for tomorrow. This is my first time doing this dance, but we have practiced so much for this event, though. I'm just too proud for being able to introduce this precious Indonesian dance to people in London.

Well, today was a really great day. It was snowing so hard outside. Yes, yes i know it should be spring now but i can't lie, i always love snow. Lucky me, our practice room was surrounded by glass walls so that we could see the garden covered by snow outside. Can you imagine how great was that? ><

   

Pretty Little Canal Called Little Venice

I have known the beauty of this place since early February, when i had an appointment for Schengen Visa, as the building (called Battleship Building because that's how the building looks like) was just beside this little canal. Yes, i am going to Milan, the second fashion city after Paris and before London! Even though, that time i had a bad day because it was so complicated to manage the Visa, but the scenery just healed the hard feeling. This place is such a cutie! It's like a watercourse among buildings. From what i have known, it looks like what they have in Venice (I have never been there, but one day i will!). They also have vintage wooden colorful ships to bring you travel along the canal.  

I think i just deserve this Milan treat as i think i have been working so hard in this second term and i just finished the exam on last Wednesday. Everyday was a busy day and i had no time to update my blog whereas i wanted to. I always hanker after updating my blog. I did diligent efforts for home works and practices and my self also engaged in some internships for London Fashion Week. Now i have 2 weeks off and will go to Milan for holiday with my class mates. Can't wait to bring Milan to you by my blog!

All About Christmas (1)

What would you do if you have a chance to go back to your hometown for Christmas, but this is also your first time in London and they offer you Christmas decorations everywhere you go, Christmas markets, Christmas shows,Winter Wonderland, etc? Yeah, i am not going back to my hometown this Christmas. Of course the decorations, markets and shows are not the main reason. Of course if truth be told i want to spend Christmas with my family. Besides the ticket price is costing the earth, it is also because my holiday is just 3 weeks. Moreover, i have many holiday homeworks. So i have planned to just go back on Summer where i would have a longer holiday. Sadly, this is also my first time spending Christmas far away from my family.

I stay here only with my brother. We are going to break the loneliness and make the happiest Christmas day. As there is a Christmas market near my house, we went there for lunch and took some photos. I do love Christmas markets. They have pretty-decorated-stalls, carrousel, churros, burgers, gummies, mulled wine, vintage books, hats, fake snow, christmas tree decorations, etc. One thing i am still waiting for is snow. Most of my friends said that it wasn't as beautiful as what you think, but i just too excited! We'll see! :)

Mademoiselle

Lately it's very chilly in London. Yes, it's winter now. I am excited because, you know, Indonesia has no winter and this is my first time living in a country that has 4 seasons. Part of this feeling, i felt like having a fur coat. Not a real fur. Faux fur. I am an animal lover, for sure. I have 7 dogs at home in Indonesia and i love them so much. I do love furry animals. For me it's not cool at all to kill animals just for taking the fur, or the ivory, etc. Not cool at all. 

Well, maybe, some people around me said that it needed a lot of confident to wear a fur coat and some of them said that fur coat was for older woman. But for me? Nope. Here i am wearing my vintage faux fur coat. I feel really good wearing it. It's really fashionable. It's a real vintage and classy style. Sophisticated, as you could see below :) Fur coat gives the elegant look and it keeps you warm as well. I am glad i have found this, the one that i am wearing in my pictures below, because actually it was really difficult for me to find the one that i wanted. 

So, this pictures were taken by my brother, another SSS, Samuel Starlight Simanjuntak in a hurry, before we went to the church. I am sorry if maybe they are not looks like a really proper fashion photo shoot. See you on the next post ! Cheers!
