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? ><

   

A Splendid Beginning

What i have in these photos below is H A P P I N E S S. I have a very electrifying yet surprising week as a starter of the new year. On the 1st day of January an email from Teen Vogue surprised me as they said that i have been hand-selected as a Teen Vogue Fashion Click Featured Blogger and in the very next day Today I Wear team from British Vogue Website emailed me that i have been featured on British Vogue Facebook page. The email from TIW team came along with another email which is the most astonishing news. Believe me, i can't bear to share you about it now, but i can't. But don't worry, I undoubtedly will share it when "that" time comes ;)

Lately i also feel so inspired. Actually, i always open my self to get, my mind to think, my heart to feel and my eyes to see something new & positive surround me. It makes me get inspired easily and i love how the new things effect my life, my fashion and my art works. Tuesday would be the first day of the new term at uni and i am so excited. Maybe this term will be harder than the last one, will be more challenging, will have more difficult and complicated projects, will increasingly make my bedtime less, but i believe that this inspired feeling will make me never get stuck. It is the moment when the "difficulty" is not even a thing because you know that you are not just going to stand still in silence but will be able to overcome it soon. Keep trying like the answer will come after one more effort. I am so curious about what project we will have next!

So, have an exciting year, dearest readers! Get some sunny shower and be thankful deeply in your heart because you still can feel the warmth. Cheers!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2012 will end soon. Time flies unbelievably fast. Looking back, counting the blessings that have been given to me. It was 2 years ago when i dreaming to study fashion in London and now....Here i am. Of course not in an easy way, it needed so much effort and i feel my personality, skill and mentality deeply shaped during the process. This is the biggest blessing i got in this year. Not only the present (that i got accepted in London) but also everything about it (the process, the pain, the joy, the failure and the success and how all of them shape me). 2012 is such a splendiferous year! 

Overjoyed. I see hope. I see future in the coming year. I have planned so many things to do for my education purpose, even not only in the fashion industry. Before stepping into that level, i realize that i should manage my self first. Ourselves are the axis. We couldn't do things right if we are not right. 

Usually, i note down my resolution every new year's eve and i will pray for it. I personally think, a new year is not a perfect time to decide to change but to commit to change. It is never easy to change, but just keep coming back when you start going out of the track again and it all will work. Inspire yourself with any positive thing.

Evaluate yourself, be thankful for the blessings, feel deep into your heart and let's make a resolution for the new year and keep believing that you will be not a same person anymore. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
