Airport Outfit feat. UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Jeans

Traveling long hours might not what you have in mind when you're going somewhere far away. You might have packed what you need when you reach your destination, be it bikinis, winter coats, stilettos, and so on. But have you seriously considered your airport looks? In order to survive a long flight, we think you should. :)

// Points to Remember //

1. You want to feel comfortable because you're going to spend hours sitting / sleeping / trying to get along with your seat there. Therefore, comfort should come first.

2. You want to look stylish all the while being comfortable. Now why should I be stylish, you ask. "It's just for the airport. I'll BE stylish when I reach my destination". Nuh uh, you WANT to look good (or decent, at least) ALL the time, because boy, you never know who you might bump into. Could be an enemy or a prospective lover. Who knows?

2a. A derivative from point 2: it doesn't hurt to bring or put on some SOS items, such as hats, sunglasses or hair ties. This will save you from unwanted situations like puffy eyes from lack of sleep or messy-limp hair from too much sleep lol.

So what kind of outfit that combines both elements into one? Enter UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Jeans.

Quoted from UNIQLO's web about these stretchy pairs: "Leg-defining for the cleanest and skinniest silhouette - hugs snugly from thigh to ankle. You’ll always have ease of movement and the most perfect fit."

Sounds too good to be true for a pair of denim? Well, we're here to find out for the Airport Outfit Challenge -which requires both comfort and stylish look!

UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Color Jeans in Khaki (Brown)

So, does it live up to its claim? Yes. Does it meet the requirements for the Airport Outfit Challenge? Gotta say YES!! It's been a long time since we treat ourselves to an awesome pair of jeans that brings comfort yet looks pretty as well. We mean, look at those colors! Perfect shade of olive green and khaki? Boy, do they know how we love earth colors... and considering how hard it is to find these colors on jeans (with great material as well), it must be our lucky day. The comfort level is amazing, too. The material is pretty thick, yet SOFT and elastic. Hate to pick up quotes, but it DOES 'hugs snugly from thigh to ankle' lol. Can't wait to put them on for our next flights and pair em with other outfits as well! :D

Now, do you know that UNIQLO is currently having this exciting event called "USJ Fit Model"? You get to have fun trying on a pair of Ultra Stretch Jeans of your choice (there are many color choices and various sizes), posing with it and get your pictures taken by a professional photographer on site, get your best pic printed for free AND (as if it's not enough) get the chance to WIN FREE USJ worth of IDR 499,000 or UNIQLO Shopping Vouchers!

Oh, Deer God.

Hi! As I'm still in Fall/Autumn fashion mood, I decided to play with these 'warm' colours today (orange, brown and red) because they remind me of fall leaves! And then I paired them with neutral colour from my knitted sweater and a hint of blue to add a little 'coolness' to my outfit. :)

By the way, I've changed my hair colour last week but I haven't had a decent picture taken to show you guys! :( It's kind of red-purple-ish (similar to red wine!) and much darker than my brown hair, but I love it so much, it really exceeded my expectations! :D

Chilly Weather

Fall has arrived in some parts of the world, but not in Indonesia; it's pretty much Summer all year long here. Anyway, it's the season when the leaves fall from the trees and it creates chilly weather. So, today for a Fall-themed outfit, I wore a three-layer outfit: White buttoned-up shirt under a grey shirt and a mustard wool coat over it. :)

Well, since I cannot stand cold weather, I'm pretty sure I'd add black tights to this outfit if I were actually in a country that experiences Fall/Autumn season. And maybe a scarf around my neck. And mittens. But, if I wore all of them in Jakarta, even if it's just for a half hour or so, I'd die.

Found this pretty wall on my way to the photoshoot location, so I just had to make a stop and took some pics there, hehe

So much love for this top, the material is very soft and cozy, and it's really flattering to my body!
