If Only


I know Jakarta is a tropical, humid city and there is no way I'm wearing this outfit here, but there are several other countries that are experiencing winter, and this is just a picture of what I would wear if only Jakarta ever had winter. :)



For the main outfit (dress + purse), I picked out the outfit I wore here, because I think it's perfect for a romantic night out. I love that the iridescent green sequins from the dress give you an instant night-time glam while the pink bow purse give a fun twist to the outfit.

And to keep my body temperature up, I threw on this beautiful coat which has the combination of faux fur and leather. This coat also got pockets, so that's a plus point for me as my hands get cold easily. The zipper front also makes it convenient to put on and take off. :)

For shoes, I slipped on these white studded boots to coordinate with the white fur of the coat. And I usually wear tights to cover up my legs if it is really cold outside.

From Flat to Fab!


This is actually one of the outfit I wore when I was in Bali last weekminus the cardigan. I put on this comfy cardi from Gowigasa to add some color pop to my neutral outfit. I really just love how vibrant the colors are. :)

For shoes I went with these casual, suede ankle boots from Forever21 which is the same shoes that I wore here. They are also one of my everyday-shoes. So comfortable and the color can match just about anything, love them!



And for accessories, I wore this turban that I bought from a store called "Somewhere" in Seminyak, Bali. What I love the most about turban is it can add so much volume to the crown area of your hair. From flat to fab! ♥

Dang, my hair has gotten so long. I guess it's about time to cut it shorter. The last time I had a hair cut was almost a year ago!
Two women wearing turban(s)! lol
