ADAMIST

2013-06-17T02:34:00.002+07:00

ADAMIST - The hottest (from the oven) menswear line by Jacky Rusli was mesmerizing me when the first time I see the slightly view of Adamist collection on Men's Folio Indonesia Revival Party. I could not saying that much about Adamist, like how does it feel wearing Adamist, the technique of their shirt making, the fabrics, etc but I saw them 'live' in front of my face and I was so in love with them, but there is insecurity in me, it's like that I need to spend half of my day in the gym if I want to wear Adamist, well blame this video below ;)...

ALL THE HAPPY THINGS - Happy weekend for all, happy working for some people on offshore, happy wedding day for our colleague Dery & Chaha, happy holiday for everyone whose in vacation, happy to see people around me being happy.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand no idea what I was thinking lately (or a couple months ago - before I rejoined my current magazine) with the way I dressed up. I think the bottom line is to put a feminine touch on my look (ya I think I did said that in my first post when I was wearing that sparkles necklace), but yeah, maybe it's just the way I am express my other fashion side & tried to had some fashion experimental or whatever it is, well let's say that I am looking for my ultimate fashion identity or it just because I won't be boring with myself.

There are a statements, debates, opinions about how fast this Industry have influenced so many people inside of lifestyle, culture, habit and moreover as one way to behave, identity, and status, and for me still it's the way for me to have some fun, although sometime I need to do something to behave and identity. When I see all my looks in this blog, hmmm I think and I really feel it's pure for fun, but I'm almost 25 yo, yaaa perhaps it still can be fun, but sooner or later if I still want be here, it will turn to be a serious deal, it will be both between seriously fun and fun seriously.

WHAT'S GOING ON AND HAPPY LIFE

WHAT'S GOING ON AND HAPPY LIFE - Well there is nothing serious in this post because I have no story to tell right now *not yet*, but I am still busy with writing, fashion, editorial and magazine. After my Bali trip, I'm kinda miss to be a traveler, lol, did fashion bored me? I have to say it was toned down lately, I feel want to cheat to travelling, resorts, cultures, natures, something that more down to earth and like a new breath air to take.

So when my friend called me and asked me to join him trip to Ujung Kulon, without any hesitation I said yes, a week latter I said yes too when my other friend was inviting me to join her to Malang, Bromo in East Java, while in the same time, I sent my proposal for media trip to New Zealand. Not meant to be greedy, but I want to experience it, I am more pro-active by propose myself to do something for magazine outside fashion, because honestly I do almost everything but automotive's article, like you know.

Once says that it can be something wrong or not that good with the output, if you write something that you don't like, ya I do agree, but who doesn't love travelling? ya some older people might be, but for me, I am still young and its never hurts to explore and go to the place that you want to be there and actually write to way you see those places in your own point of view. More over I am lifestyle writer, my power could be in men's fashion (or a bit general fashion, I do good with the accessories), but if you regularly read my blog, its kinda much about everything.

Lifestyle is not about being rich or have a lots of money, but it's the way you live your happy life, and what's happy, what is happy life? I think happiness is relatives, some people have different version of happiness, also for me, happy is like fashion, it's changing all the time. Just like right now, I feel so happy and blessed, try to do my life as fun as possible, with my friends, my job, my blog, my readers *hello there?* haha my family, my religion (OMG) and last but not least my goal to lost weight this month *wishmeluck* and all the things I said, yes make me happy right now.

THE (REEBONZ) BLACK BOX HAS COME

2013-05-27T23:05:00.000+07:00

THE (REEBONZ) BLACK BOX HAS COME - Yes darls it's finally come (like a week ago lol) and I'm happy now :))) thank you Reebonz Indonesia for such a fast delivery, free shipping, less money, less time & energy and the product I received is well condition, exactly like what I really want. It's quite fast, yes usually they works for 14 days of delivery, but it's started when someone texted me:

"Mas Herdi, I have received a black box and it's so huge... I don't know what to do", it looks Mas Iwan (my residence guard) was excited to see this black box from Reebonz indonesia, of course it's for me not for him.

Then I just said, "Ohh that's a bag, please be careful, it's worth 5 months’ rent lol, something happened, I stay here forever free!!!” ahhh I was kidding, because I won't stay here forever, pleaseee

Okay skip, sooo this is the black box contain my order, Coach Lather Duffel BostonBag that I order from Reebonz Indonesia as you can see in my previous ReebonzIndonesia Online Shopping Experience. Perfectly the only official luxury online shop in the region, providing a wide range of luxury goods as you can check out by yourself free. I love how they were wrapping my package, with bubble wrap, high quality paper box, then with a plastic, and the other thin foam protector inside.

I love with the bag, not only because it's Coach, but also it was 50% off :D, American Craftsmanship standard of course, I just hope that I could do some online shopping again at Reebonz Indonesia with the other craftsmanship; Italian Prada, Parisian Chanel or Hermes, Germany MCM, British Mulberry, Spanish Loewe, Japanese Comme des Garcons, etc etc, what a diversity craftsmanship. Trust me everything possible at Reebonz Indonesia, yes the sale event sometimes in limited time, but you can add the goods you want into your wish-lists, even you can suggest the brand, anything that you want, anything that you need to be on sale.

Do not worry about extra charge, taxes, shipping fee, because all include when you see the price in the website (make sure you signing in Reebonz Indonesia, so the price comes in IDR), payment with credit card or Bank transfer is accepted, moreover you will never know because the other promo always suddenly come, once +10% off, or maybe IDR 300K credit, somehow it's so fun way to shop more cheaper than the retail store really.

So from now on, you will never miss the Reebonz Indonesia sales event anymore...

FRANCIS KURKDJIAN OUD MOODS

2013-05-18T18:55:00.001+07:00

FRANCIS KURKDJIAN OUD MOODS - How you can communicate with your soul? Some do with spiritual approach, some do with dressed up, some do with a lot of travelling and some do with fragrance, well it's a lifestyle.

I had waked up in the middle of the night early today, and suddenly I took some samples of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris Oud Moods, and sprayed to my hand. I sprayed Oud Silk Mood on my right hand and Oud Velvet Mood to my left hand. In a very fresh condition (for me) it was the right time for me to actually smell them and get to their soul; I want to know what kind of reaction that my mind will give to me? Where does its scent will take me go?

In fact the Silk took me to something smooth like, well obviously silk, and warm like a hug, I am thinking about Paris, maybe you ever heard and yes the silk one is more feminine than the other Oud, it's calm, it's soft, it's peaceful, it's powdery. You might be confused at the Top Notes but the Base Notes are brilliant. From the Top Notes to the Base Notes, it was a dreamy moment for me. Absolutely versatile, because it is also kinda fits with men, a romantic and sweet men. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris, Oud Silk Mood: Oud, Bulgarian Rose, Morrocan Chamomile, Papyrus

When you moved your attention to the other moods, it will take you 180 degree to the different places, and Velvet one took me to something American Ethnic, Cowboy, Indian, something like that. (Again) Confused at the beginning but I know exactly the mood is, very strong, masculine, warm, a bit spicy. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris, Oud Velvet Mood: Oud, Ceylanian Cinnamon, Saffron and Brazilian Copahu Balm

Then I feel Cashmere, it's very rich, deep and I am thinking about Middle East and its food. I am thinking about the souk market in Sex and City 2 the movie, absolutely spices and it's like ready to cook; Masculinity desert, balmy, a bit sweet. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris, Oud Chasmere Mood: Oud, Moroccan Labdanum, Laoatian Benzoin and Vanilla.

Always excited to Mr. Francis creations, can't barely wait for the next one, as a spoiler it's the next chapter from Aqua to be released hopefully this year, in the meantime The Oud Moods is available at The Papilion Duo, here at Pacific Place Mall Jakarta, sooo where are you going? And with who? To Paris, Ethnic America or Middle East? :)))

CAST EYEWEAR 2013 COLLECTION

2013-05-16T18:32:00.002+07:00

CAST EYEWEAR 2013 COLLECTION - One says that her most favorite fashion item is sunglasses, her only reason is she wants people that talk to her will take THEIR attention to her face, not to her bag, even more to her shoes, and I'm kinda agreed. After wayfarer era, saved all your young money for the CAST EYEWEAR. Loving the designs, contemporary classic but with modern attitude, thank to the name behind Cast Eyewear, Fahrani Empel, so the other one says sunglasses could change your look.

We are talking about sunglasses and until today, when I see extraordinary sunglasses, my mind automatically relates to Lady Gaga, and in an actuality Lady Gaga was wearing Cast Eyewear in her daily routine during her world-tour, so it's approved sign from the Mother. To go the beach club, or having a city walk among concretes jungle, maybe you will like what I like from Cast Eyewear 2013 collection. See the rest of Cast Eyewear 2013 collection

REEBONZ ONLINE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

2013-05-13T09:12:00.001+07:00

REEBONZ ONLINE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE - Soooooo I decided to invest my money in a form of genuine leather bag, where I bought it? At Reebonz.com & now also available Reebonz Indonesia so the price tag comes with IDR and all in and I can't barely wait to receive the package.

What is the bag? it is Bvlgari bag? hmmm so the story begin when I lost bid to get Louis Vuitton keepall 50 monogram bag at online forum, but then I received newsletter email from Reebonz (as always, because I am member of Reebonz) about 50% off sale event, trust me that Reebonz always hold an interesting sale events. Then I signed in, and started to explore all the sale events, luxury brands such as; Prada, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Fendi, Chloe, Coach, Valentino, Saint Laurent, Marc Jacobs, Mulberry, Dior and more, even you can find pre-owned Chanel events at Reebonz.

I clicked the Reebonz newsletter, just for casual checking what's on the 5ifty at 50% event and see, its real 50% percent off. Here at Reebonz, you will find selected item like bags, shoes, accessories with the price is cheaper compared with the retail store price, just check it out because it's free to see whatever you want to see, even in close up view so you can see the details, also the description. But I ended up with.....

Coach Bleecker Debossed Signature Boston Duffel Bag, it was almost, it was almost gone. Why? Because shopping at Reebonz is depends on the time period of the sale event, in my case the event will be closed in 8 hours. I bought this bag almost 50% off, if I buy this in Jakarta, I don't think I can get this with the same price, if I buy in the US, I need to dealing with shipping & tax, it will costs me more. But not here in Reebonz, if you based in Indonesia, the price tag is in IDR (Indonesia Rupiah) and it's include shipping and tax free, so the price you paid is all in, you just need to wait to receive the package at home, office or anywhere you want the goods to shipped.

With a simple steps from Add to Bag, Check Out, Place Order & Confirm Order (10 minutes to confirm) then your Order Completed, after 14 working days the goods is all mine. After Confirm Order, you will receive the confirmation email, I choose Bank Transfer (using Bank Mandiri or BCA) for the payment (2 hours to do a transfer) or you also can using credit card (maybe you will get extra discount with the card promo), then I do the transfer, and do a confirmation step via email by submit the transaction detail, it was soooooo easy.

So I will let you know after my package coming, you also can check the status of shipping in your Reebonz account, mine is shipped right now. Meanwhile, you can checking around at Reebonz.com, simple sign up with your facebook account, and it's free of course... so join today you may received extra credit IDR 200K, if you join Reebonz like right now, I'm sure by now the events closed and started with the new one... So let's join, buy a bag and get over it J

2013-05-12T21:26:00.000+07:00

Shirt - Comme des Garcons | Sunglasses - Le Specs | Shoes - Pedro | Watch - Guess

MY BLACK & WHITE ESSENTIAL - So this is my black and white detail that I actually wore in my last night at private beach club night, WOOBAR W Hotel Bali. I love terms night more than party, but everything I got including these new in accessories was accident, never been my intention to make it black & white, but all I have got in fact complements each other. How I love my spring croco textured leather shoes by Pedro that I have purchased less than 200K IDR (so best deal ever for shoes), did not even spent my money for very sleek and simple Guess watch (if you know what I mean), and Le Spec Runways white coconut frame with mirror shade that I bought from my Canggu trip to Temple of Enthusiasm, Dues Ex Machina, because I'm planning my next trip to Ujung Kulon :))) can not wait to feel and back to fresh air and cry with all nature happiness.

SKRILLEX FOR G-STAR ILLWOOD

2013-05-09T20:06:00.000+07:00

LIMITED EDITION SKRILLEX FOR G-STAR ELWOOD - OH MY GOD... I want this limited edition in total black constructed denim designed by Skrillex for G-Star Illwood, I'm quite enough with boring jeans and then come G-Star as such a heaven for denim lovers, with their denim series collections. G-Star also using serial number for every collection, and for this the jeans touched by a leather trim and decorated by his drawing on the interior. Constructed by more than 25 pieces and silhouette that inspired by biker wear, as you can see on the knee detail.

But his drawing on the inside is everything, although is only just like that. Maybe he thought that he should represent his music in form of denim, all black in and out perhaps too plain compared with his music. It is funny or it's scary or even silly, surprise on the inside of this jeans is a different smart, you are still can wear this, smiling every times you see the drawing without scaring people, because they think you doodled your G-Star.

News for you, that finally G-Star opened their first boutique here in Jakarta, located at Pacific Place Mall, but the limited edition G-Star Skrillex Illwood will be available from 15th March 2013 at 12 selected G-Star stores at Barcelona, New York, LA, Miami, Hong Kong, Sydney and Amsterdam.

LET'S HAVE A KIKI

2013-05-07T23:10:00.000+07:00

LET'S HAVE A KIKI - Alright ladiesssss, since I know that most of my readers are females in age 25-35 with a children uhhhhhh, but I believe you are represents a cosmopolitan women, like Carrie Bradshaw (you know), Samantha Jones (you know), Olivia Palermo, Miroslava Duma, Taylor Tomasi Hill and like all modern artsy strong gorgeous women living in New York.

Honestly I love this kind of party, people dressed up so chic, dancing and having fun in a old building, and if you take notice a phone conversation intro, you felt something very genuine realness, if they will take a train, we are here in Jakarta will take an OJEK, although from head to toe in Prada, even for Sarah Jessica Parker (she is playing Isabelle) she suits the party and looks more more younger than her age, and I tell you, that you need to be like her (at least her fashion senses in Sex and the City is very personal & unforgettable), not becoming a socialite who lost her direction ~~with a plastic surgery~~ and looks ugly... so call all your besties and let's have a kiki...

Hey, I'm calling you back.

Ooh, she's been a bitch tonight!

And by bitch I mean this rain

No cabs, nowhere.

So I had to put on the wig, and the heels,

And the lashes and the eairh

And take a train to the club

So I hope you're up, girl,

'Cause we are all coming over

Lock the doors, lower the blinds

A light up the smoke machine and put on your heels

'Cause I know exactly what we need!

Let's have a kiki

I wanna have a kiki!

Lock the doors, (Tight!)

Let's have a kiki, (mother)

I'm gonna let you have it

Let's have a kiki

I wanna have kiki, (dive) (turn) (work)

Let's have a kiki

We're gonna serve,

and work

and turn,

and hon-hon-honey.

A kiki is a party for calming all your nerves,

We're spilling tea and dishing just deserts one may deserve.

And though the sun is rising, few may choose to leave,

So shade that lid and we'll all bid adieu to your ennui.

Kurt, Rachel and Isabelle:

Let's have a kiki

I wanna have a kiki!

Lock the doors, (Tight!)

Let's have a kiki, (mother)

I'm gonna let you have it

Let's have a kiki

I wanna have kiki, (dive) (turn) (work)

Let's have a kiki

We're gonna serve,

and work

and turn,

and hon-hon-honey.

Rachel:
It's turkey lurkey time
Tom turkey ran away but he just came home
It's turkey lurkey time
He's really home to stay, never one to roam
Let us make a wish
And may all our wishes come true

Rachel avec Kurt et Isabelle:
Turkey lurkey, loosey goosey (Kurt: Oooo)
Some for uncle Joe, some for cousin Lucy
Everybody gather 'round the table
Dig in, dinner's being served
Eat all the turkey you are able
Can't you see a partridge in a pear tree?
Climb up and bring it down for me
That's something I would like to see

Isabelle:
This kiki is marvelous!

Kiki, soso

oui, oui, non non!

Kiki, soso

Oui, oui, non non! (non non!)

Let's have a kiki

I wanna have a kiki!

Lock the doors, (Tight!)

Let's have a kiki, (hunty) (dropper)

I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki

I wanna have a kiki, boots, ten, queen

Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve,
and work

and turn,

Lets have a kiki!

START TO OBSESSED: SEIKO SHADOW WATCH

2013-05-06T23:45:00.000+07:00

START TO OBSESSED: SEIKO SHADOW WATCH - O....My GOD I start to obsessed with watches, it's a NO or is a YES? Whatever it is, my only wish is, I have all those money to afford this obsession. Because No cheap honey, no cheap. Thank to the only God if you got a good looking watches under US$ 250 or IDR 2 Millions, I am talking about exterior here, which is a lot of designer label whose has watches line, the price range start in 200 something, No cheap my brother my sister.

But I think, I am full of (sometimes) self-control with shopping, so it should be no worries. Moreover, I still only see them for the outside, the look, size, design of the dial face, color selection, not too complicated with complication, movement, moon face and everything. Just in love with this Seiko Shadow Watches, and the other one I love to is reflection series; very clean, to the point and smartly Japanese style, but still I want some Cartier :).

I WAS AT DEUS EX MACHINA CANGGU

2013-05-06T15:28:00.000+07:00

I WAS AT DEUS EX MACHINA CANGGU - This was my first time went to Canggu, but unfortunately I didn't explore around beside I don't know what to do, well I was still on duty. But Canggu area known among surfers, even you will see so many a rice field, you will see people with surfing board on motorcycle and so many sexy abs walk passing by.

Deus Ex Machina chosen by Timo as one of inspirational place which is evoking masculinity and art in one package; you will find motorbike, surfing board, coffee shop, art space, clothing and accessories store, there are even an office, workshop and studio, moreover sunbathing area in the middle of the venue (just realized so many spots in one place) that's why Deus Ex Machina also known as Temple of Enthusiasm. Personally I love the place and happy to be around, exactly suits me while I was staying at W which is more modern, Deus Ex Machina in Canggu gave me a different twist of having fun while still in working. More than that, Deus Ex Machina in Canggu brought me to forget about the big city without forget people who I love.

Yes you need a party when you in Bali or other beach destinations, but have a nice conversation is another story, but it will distracted by all the walking topless.

SUNSET AT W RETREAT BALI

2013-05-04T23:20:00.000+07:00

SUNSET AT W RETREAT BALI - It is likely the right place to received and exposed to enough sun ray exposure, while my intentions was not about to tan my skin but more to laying enjoy the wind and the music through my earphone, so I had no idea how many my gazebo neighbors whose had listen me singing along from 3 to 6 that day.

What to bring in your beach bag?

Camera (or gadget)
Sun block
Lip Balm
Cooling Spray
Statement Sunglasses
A bottle of water (You choose; mineral water, coffee, cocktails - I love them all)
Something to read ( A book, magazine, or gadget)
Your own music
A money/card pouch
Extra t-shirt
Small towel (grab from your own hotel room)
is it too much? lol

If you are considering yourself as a sunbathing people, you will love this W Bali Retreat & Spa sunbathing spot while waiting for the sunset. Sunset always be a warm and romantic moment, and for me, it could be my romantic relationship with myself, with my soul (the most polite term of forever alone), but surprisingly although I was alone rolling and singing in my gazebo, I am happy, it will be more than happy if you guys were here with me, maybe next time.

More than 3 hours laying by myself, finally I can took some air that all for me. After 1 year since my last trip, I am struggling with my life direction, with all things happened to me, the good and badass, 3 days in Bali really help me released the stress etc or for awhile cut some uncertain feeling, well honestly I need 3 weeks of having fun lol, but what should I say but thank God, I didn't have to spent a lot of (young) money this time and it's time to have some drinks at WOOBAR then go back home.

MY MORNING W RETREAT BALI VIEW

2013-05-04T09:49:00.000+07:00

MY MORNING W RETREAT BALI VIEW - Good to having a morning in Bali and see this ocean spreading in front of your balcony for two days. Staying at the 4th floor with the spectacular ocean facing retreat for CFDA fashion incubator with Timo Weiland has just started with maximum grateful to finally see the beach again in fancy modern contemporary ways ;))).

What I love from my W Retreat & Spa experiences was very good weather and ambiance (that moment), nice place to stay and hanging out with friends, because W Reatreat & Spa located in hip location in Petitenget, Seminyak in Northern Kuta. There is a lot of nice cute cafes, dining, or small local stores, but unfortunately I am too lazy to explore but I will do next time, take a night walk is essential. While Petitenget is quite crowded, the entrance gate to the W Retreat & Spa even only fits for one car but more surprise on the inside, love their greenish entrance, then you will pass through roads with the rocks stone to the lobby then you will greeted by music and modern city lighting a la W Hotels.

At 4th floor there are other compliments, you will have your own sun exposure roof for your bathroom beside beautiful ocean view from the balcony and a bit about their grooming, Bliss - love their body butter and facial wash, I grabbed them. Suits for couple, honeymoon, wedding also besties trip, but maybe you consider their villa or EWOW suite too if you come with a group. I was thinking how fun my trip if I could did this with my co-workers, friends or even family. Not to talking about work but there is a lot spot to have a nice conversation at day or night, with friends because you get a lot of drinks over here, for example WOOBAR :o, with family beside private villa, I like to see sunset here, lay in their gazebos near the beach, but I was aloneeeeeeeeeee, but next time I will go back with the +1.

I DON'T WANNA BE A SMOKER, BECAUSE

2013-04-13T01:13:00.000+07:00

I DON'T WANNA BE A SMOKER, BECAUSE - (This post as a reminder for me for not smoking too often) As simply as.... IT WILL DRAINING MY SAVINGS. So today I bought maybe my 6th box of cigarettes, and start feel that I am addicted to those thing and it makes me worry because this is unusual for me. Let me tell you that I have some history with a cigarettes, smoking, smokers etc, by the way who doesn't? and but the worrying part is I never felt like this (addicted) before. Do I really need to smoke? ok I am starting ask a stupid question...

So I was starts knowing about smoking of course from my father and other family member, but I was not really curious about what they are really doing the with the paper, weeds and all the stuffs, until I saw the one left on our bathroom also with the lighter and that day was my first day I met the cigar, I was swallowing the smoke and my throat is hurt as hell, after that day, I never give any of my attention ever on a cigar, I am good boy then, never smoke, or drunk, or fighting, but I do the other stuffs, such as.... marbles?

Even after my high school, but when I start my first job on the offshore, that was my first day met with my field staffs and the first thing they have offer me is a cigar. Well, after more than 15 years traumatic of a cigar that hurts my throat, what do think I will say to them? I said NO, but I saw their face a bit disappointed with my rejection. They told me about the culture and lifestyle in offshore etc etc, so I was thinking about politics and my positions too if I still decided to not smoking at all, so here they are my first professional day as a smoker and it's happened for almost 7 months, because I decided to resigned, not a about smoking thingy but more that, let's skip that part.

So as easily I stop smoking, but in certain times, I do smoke again or as society called a social smoker (if you watching Mad Men show video in Kemang, they caught me in tape when I am smoking oh why) but it rare to happened until two weeks in a row a bought a box of cigarettes by my own money, and starts to worry about what I did. So I became a regular smoker? I don't want to be one, really :(, but I keep looking for cigar, especially in the morning before my shower and it is happening lately, four cigars a day, and I think I need a help already. SO this post as a reminder for me for not smoking too often

Why I don't wanna be a regular smoker, because:

SAVINGS: I started to saving my incomes early this year, if I became someone who spent a box of cigars a day? hmmm I am too poor for that, even-though I will not get a Prada either, but I don't wanna afford that in my life, everyday, even in my professional 7 months as a smoker, I was not bought any single cigar because it was included on the jobs budget. But how if you have a free cigars for the of rest of your life? see the next denial reason below!
SKIN FACE: No budget for this too, I am using a cheapest skin product in the entire universe (except it is sample for the review :p) for my skin treatment, but do I looks like 24 yo guy? do you think so? How if I too often smoking and look uglier than when I didn't smoke? - Placenta Facial, Gold, Coffee, Mud, Blood, Glass, no? what else Laser, Botox, Face Surgery, crazy stuff, well that's absolutely more money.
OTHER HEALTH REASONS: Great white smile (although I still drink coffee), red lips, good sense of tastes and smell, better blood flow, no bad breath or mouth odor etc etc... But why is Kate Moss looks still so damn gorgeous? I need more research!!!

Once again This post as a reminder for me for not smoking too often... Wish me luck

AD #1: HOW TO WEAR A PINK TROUSER

2013-04-05T18:00:00.000+07:00

HOW TO WEAR PINK A TROUSER - hmmmmmmm exactly like the picture above? lol. A friend of mine asked me after he saw me wearing the yellow mustard pants on the street "How could you wearing such a bright pants like that?" and I was like, boy...... just wear it and walk. I was wearing it with my green army jacket. It's cliche and (most of) men in this country are experiment-less with mixing colors, fabrics, cutting and then make a good looking proportion. In this case pink is soft, sweet and feminine dreamy colors whatever kind of pink it is, because there are more than 20 shades of pink in its color spectrum. So if you think that wearing the same color is too risky, then put something rough for the top and the rest.

Me personally, I am not really into fuchsia, I love pink almost white at Givenchy or the lightest form of rose pink; for trouser or shirt that I am looking for at this moment (like this Dolce & Gabbana Pink Shirt). Because I have a lot of blue/navy clothes and an outerwear, I think they are a good combo, but you can see other alternative, even the classic twill jacket in brown is suits perfectly, then think about grey too. Add also some masculine details like cuff-link and watch with strap in black patent leather. It is also applies too other colors, like yellowish or greenish (in my opinion so far).

That is for jacket, for single shirt, white shirt is essential, if soft blue is too mainstream, trying flannel shirt in same ambiance or basic black & white stripped t-shirt. As my perfect example in the picture below, and also the type of shoes he is wearing, is worth every pennies for this spring... Sooo you may asking me anything about anything too and see you next time on Ask Deluxshionist ;)

WE NEED MORE HATS

2013-03-27T01:17:00.003+07:00

WE NEED MORE HATS - This KENZO BLUE BRUSHSTROKE DOUBLE-BRIMMED CAP is part of the Spring/Summer 2013 Tiger Fever by Kenzo Paris, when I looked back that unconsciously I tend to buy something blue, so include this hat and the varsity jacket.. Kenzo successfully interpreted leopard print into something more 'wide', pop and contemporary. After its name rarely heard on public, Kenzo goods were pretty much seen on the Blogs recently, their sweater with KENZO bold logo, with the Tiger, Eiffel tower etc etc.

They are having collaboration with Van's for shoe and New Era for cap, with more affordable price to reaching wide audiences and new customers. Now when people giving their attention back to Kenzo, they showed up with unique design and most of them are lovable. But the road of fashion business is still a long way to go, keep it hot on the Internet and be good to the bloggers.

The sweaters and hats were showing everywhere, well, I am a sweaters and hats lover, I often wearing those items especially when sun exposing too much light but the wind blowing a fresh cold air, its Bandung like 10 years ago. I am not sure with Jakarta, because I am easily sweating, it will looks so 'ewww' if my hat sweat and wet, but this hat is so cool oh I can't help it and the jacket, this is the time for men to rock the leopard thingy :), well I still want the Givenchy's leopard...

Textile baseball cap in tones of blue. Digital mock brushstroke pattern throughout. Zippered pockets at sides. Overlong brim at back. Tonal stitching. 54% cotton, 48% viscose available at SSENSE.

SIMPLY MARC BY MARC JACOBS

2013-03-22T17:55:00.002+07:00

Would like to say thanks to Phoebe Philo from Celine, who brought a sexy minimalism back, and now we can see New York below latest messenger bag from Marc by Marc Jacobs. No matter which designer, as you may recognized it also in, well Hermes Birkin, but putting logos all over the place sometime is too old. Well yes classic is good, but clean with just a stamp well is not bad though, but perhaps it's must be something on its cutting. Black leather messenger bag from marc by marc jacobs featuring a buckle fastening shoulder strap, a front flap fastening, embossed branding to the front, a large external slit pocket, contrast fabric lining, internal zip fastening compartments and multiple slit pockets.

You can see other my new Men's Bag collection on my LYST.
