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♥

ps. You will need to login to your Facebook account first! :)

"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

Metallic + Leather + Denim


Today I wore this figure flattering leather skirt from Romwe and paired it with a silver metallic top to add some sparkle to the look. What makes this skirt even cooler is that it is accentuated with spike studded detail along each side of the skirt, which also led me to pick out the studded clutch and studded denim vest to complete the look (the more studs the better, yes?).

A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime?

Unbranded polkadot denim top | Forever21 pants | ZARA white bag | Oasap leopard print wedges | Mango sunglasses | ZARA white belt

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.


When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Two Ways: Leopard Print Top

Here we go again with the leopard print! But today, I'm sharing two ways to wear it. : )

For a more casual day look, I think denim shorts and brown boots are the best fit to go with, don't you think?
...and for a night out, you can add a little glam with a touch of Gold... : )

I also wore neutral brown color bracelets to tone down the golden tones –just don't want to end up looking too... bling-y! :p


p.s. You can get both the vintage and metallic bag at GOWIGASA new arrivals. Stay tuned! ; )

A Pop of Neon


Just one of those lazy Mondays...

I put on my new favorite floral pants from ZARA again and again –Truth be told, I don't really like wearing pants, but these ones are REALLY comfortable! Was going to be all black and white today, but then I remembered this pink neon sweater from GOWIGASA, and there you go! A pop of neon :D

Anyway, I just finished watching Sex and the City series, and now I need a new goal in life.
