Sweet Lace

Hello lovely readers!

How do you feel today? If you feel sweet and feminine– just like I did on the day these photos were taken, then there is no better way to express it other than wearing (anything) Lace! Especially in white color. Black lace is more of a sexy and classy look, I guess.

Cute bag Jess bought from Singapore.

White Heart Lace Stockings– so dreamy ♥

The details of my dress. I especially love the wooden buttons!! :)

Simplicity

Hello lovelies! Finally I have the time to blog about this beautiful studded-collared top I got from Dahlia Fashion, an online clothing store based in UK. I really love the cutting and the way it clings to my body –plus the studded collar which gives a little edge to the outfit!

As you can see in this photo, the fabric is actually sheer but not very thin, so you just need to wear a nude colored bras under the shirt if you are not a fan of see-thru. Anyway, what a perfect fabric for Jakarta's hot weather!

Do check out their website here for more lovely collections ;)

Wearing a red hair bow to add color to my outfit. :)

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

Nyanyian Cintamu - AB THREE (cover)

Ku slalu ada di hatimu
Tulus cintaku t'lah menyatu
Haruskah semua ku ingkari
Indahnya kasih ini

Tak bolehkah aku jalani
Putih cintaku bersamamu
Mengapa tiada yang mengerti
Hingga selalu kuingin

Reff:
Kaubawa diriku terbang bersamamu
Melayang jauh
Kau nyanyikan lagu tentang bintang bintang
Menemaniku

(Bawa daku bersamamu, kita melayang jauh)
(Kita nyanyikan lagu tentang bintang bintang)

Bila esok tiba
Masihkah kan ada

Bila dapat aku lakukan
Hentikan waktu yang berlalu
Agar kau tetap di sisiku
Selalu dan selamanya

Back to Reff

Hari lepas hari
Melayang bersamamu

Bila esok tiba
Masihkah kan ada

Nyanyian Cintamu

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
