Sorbet Colors

Hello, Summer!
Well, technically, it's whole-year summer right here in Indonesia, but hey, nobody's complaining. ;) Anyway, Summer is identical to hot, humid weather (which of course, is one of our country's trademarks), and what's the best way to adjust to it? Cold stuffs~~!!! Say, like, a glass of Freshly Squeezed Lemonade, a refreshing portion of Zaru Soba and of course, a cone of Ice Cream or even better, a scoop of Sorbet!

True to the title, on today's outfit post, I'm wearing Sorbet-colored clothes. From the grape toned outerwear, raspberry striped top to the minty green skirt, they all look and feel very summery to me XD ~All of them are also very lightweight, just perfect for this Summer's outdoor activities. 

Put together bright lenses and bright lips to complement the whole look.
Outfit: GOWIGASA Bold Vertical Top | GOWIGASA Silky Flare Skirt (upcoming collection's) | GOWIGASA Studded Belt Mocha | GOWIGASA Lilac Chiffon Outerwear | GOWIGASA Milk Envelope Bag / Clutch (upcoming collection's) | Hat & Shoes are from Japan

"Everything you want in life has a price connected to it. There's a price to pay if you want to make things better, a price to pay just for leaving things as they are, a price for everything."
–Harry Browne

This quote pretty much describes our current situation. We are paying a "price" to make things better, to start a new beginning. It ain't easy, but anything in life worth having takes effort, right. : )


Anyway, don't forget to check out GOWIGASA New Arrivals that's just launched two days ago! We have new and fabulous items you don't want to miss! ;D

Color Me Brightly!


I don't know how many times I've said this, but I LOVE wearing colorful outfits! It's always FUN playing with colors mixing and matching one color with another. Not to mention that wearing them can enhance my mood and lighten up my day!

Steve Madden's Cobalt Wedges available in this color and shocking pink. Grab them before they are gone!

TIPS 
(on wearing bright-colored or colorful outfits):

Confidence is KEY!
Choose colors that complement each other.
This is The Color Wheel which will help to inspire creative color combinations. Print it out and stick it to your wall so you can refer to it when putting together an outfit.
Keep your accessories and make up to a minimum for a well-balanced look.
For the first timers, try to match at least two colors –one neutral and one bright. (Black and Red, for example)
In case you are worried to look too-colorful-i-look-like-a-clown, you might want to choose 'neighboring colors' in the Color Wheel. (Pink and Purple, for instance)

Safe choice of colors. (Little White Dress from GOWIGASA)
Good luck and don't be afraid to stand out! ;)

Nautical Feel


What colors pop up in your head when you think of the word 'Summer'?
As for me: Blue and Yellow! Well, simply because they remind me of the Beach sea and sand. :)
Add some Red for a more nautical feel, and then add some neutral colors (in this case, Brown and White) to have some balance.

Fyi, the yellow Collar and the blue-striped Shirt are actually separated, and they will be in GOWIGASA's new arrivals collection next month in one package, so wait for it! ;)




By the way, did you notice that my hair was kept to one side on all the photos?
Yup! That's because of the fact that wearing certain collars makes your neck look shorter (you don't want that!). But I also can't resist wearing them as they are too adorable and can give you an instant preppy look!

So, what I usually do when wearing standing or turn-over collars (learn the difference here) is, move my hair to one side (or my back), side-braid it, tie it up, or whatever except letting it down that should do the trick.

My something new and something yellow.


Love,
Elle

June+Julia x Elle&Jess





The mustard bow is actually a hair accessories.



June+Julia x Elle&Jess shoes, just like we wanted ~♥

The first time I knew June+Julia store was when I visited June Paski (the owner)'s blog. She was wearing June+Julia's LOLA boots, which then led me to my first purchase on their store (LOLA boots and Febrina heels)... I remember the Febrinas didn't fit my feet really well, and they let me change them -no extra charge! Not only they provide great customer service, the shoes are very comfortable too, especially the LOLAs! And I've been a fan ever since... :)

Therefore when June asked me and my sis to do a shoe collaboration, we were so excited as we knew they have the ability to create shoes just like we designed them to be! Even though it took quite a while (we thought it got canceled T___T), but we are very satisfied with the final result!!♥

We chose brown because we are huge fans of earthy tones, and we think, just like black and white, brown can go with many other colors. We also love the Oxford shoe design because it brings out the vintage feel! :)

Anyway I've tried to walk in those sweeties for all day long, and I swear it didn't hurt! Maybe for the first walk, it helps to wear socks like I did.

Well, we are proud to say that these attention-grabbing shoes are the perfect match for your everyday outfit! You can order them via web store or email to care@juneandjulia.com, but as they are limited editions, they can run out fast, so we'd advise ordering soon! ;D


Lots of love,
Elle
