my kimono

printed kimono dress - noona

Got a sweet package from one of Indonesia local brand called Noona. Noona is an online shop that caters (mostly) for young working women. They provide affordable yet stylish items. And the best thing is you can find some local fabrics such as Batik and Ikat material in their design. Love it! I wear this printed kimono dress to a dinner with some friends. Such a beautiful print, nice cutting and best part of it, comfy!

Styling tips: you don't have to always put heels when you are wearing a (feminine) dress. Boots can give you more edgy look ;)

Get more updates at their FB page here. Psstt.. visit shopatnoona web right now, they're on sale!

Went to "Next Level" opening at Sampoerna Strategic Square.. The concept is kinda similar with Brightspot but Brightspot has more tenants than Next Level. And more interesting booth display. Well i gotta say that there are some interesting pieces i found, but dunno why it's a lil bit boring there.. But still i got something.. A silver jacket!

Breakthrough in 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Gricia (Cia)) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 07:02:00 +0000

So, we are still in early 2012, still have a lot of chance and time to chase our goal. That's why i want to share my thought about a person that i think is the right example when we are talking about goals and dreams. Yep, you've seen the pictures right?! It's Agnes Monica.

She's at the same age with me, but I gotta say this woman got nerve!! I decided to chose her as my 2012 role model when I heard that she is now the new ambassador for CLEAR. Remember the cool party BLACK AREA by CLEAR? The one that happened during Djakarta Warehose Project? Now CLEAR has just introduced her there. One grand introduction if you ask me.

The event itself was so cool. I didn’t attend it, but I read about it in Chekka’s, Cindy’s and Ario’s blog and I really sorry I missed the party. Everybody there was wearing black and they all looked so stylish. I also read in Fashionese Daily that there was also hair styling booth by CLEAR. It’s very unique, I think. And the fact that they did it during the most anticipated party in town, Djakarta Warehouse Project? Super cool…

As for Agnes Monica, no wonder she's been chosen, she got the whole package that CLEAR wants – Beside healthy hair, Style, Breakthrough and Music! It's a huge launch ya'll. See the digital wall they build right? Ubercool!!! Well you gotta do big to get youngster attention eh?! And they surely got mine. haha

What I saw from her, she has a huge will to make her music career really happens, a massive hard worker to make a breakthrough (just saw every performance she had) and of course her style transformation is one thing that most of us waiting for. I can write this things coz i'm following her twitter =D in the middle of the night when we're in our blanket, she's practicing, when we are relaxing on weekend, she's at the gym. All her hard work really paid of. This woman got my attention, especially when she's tweeting with Timbaland (omaygah!) and Siwonoppa from Super Junior (faint!). Hahaha... She's going big. Just wait and see...

So from what I wrote above, you know that she is very creative, innovative and hardworker. She doesn’t wait for things to happen to her, but she works for it. And that is how I see CLEAR build its brand image. Creative and innovative. So I really believe that both Agnes and CLEAR made the right decision to be in the same vision and both of them will be supporting each other as they really share the same value – MUSIC, STYLE and BREAKTHROUGH.

So..are you guys ready facing 2012? Whatever your goal is, get a job, want to be promoted, getting married, get a boyfriend, and so on.. Remember to do it with your heart, hardwork and style of course =D Hopefully all of you will be inspired by Agnes Monica just like she did to me. Fighting!

Got the chance to visit Brightspot opening at Plaza Senayan, this time the venue is very very big... Since it's one of the hippest event in town, everyone wants to be the first to grab the tenants items coz i'm sure there must be lots of sold out items at the opening day. I queue for 1 hour at the cashier T_T But at least i'm happy with what i got. Brightspot is the right place to find edgy and unique items, so spare some time to visit them. They will be available until Sunday, Nov 27.

Salute to Brightspot team. I can see they contribute a lot to our local fashion scene movement.

1 - 3 : Issever Bahri (Berlin Fashion Week) @ Promenade
4 - 8 : Hien Le (Belin Fashion Week) @ Promenade
Found that these Berlin designers have some similarities, they're using fine material, effortless style and very pret a porte.

Also post random pictures at Jakarta Fashion Week (JFW) 2012 exhibition area. I took some snap from Justin Smith (hats designer) and Oscar Lawalata collaboration, impressive right? Heard a rumor that Rihanna has ordered one of the hat. Hmmm....

Still 3 days to go, if you haven't go to JFW yet, there're still some times to catch the biggest fashion event in Indonesia ya'll..

noreply@blogger.com (Gricia (Cia)) — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 05:15:00 +0000

Got an email from Molly - Fashion by Feelings in August (sorry for being so long to post this, am so busy with office thingy T_T). So, they had a campaign for Woolmark it's about style our outfits with wool. The aim is to educate people about wool as a natural and renewable fibre.. I've visited their website and it's so cuteee =) Your wool outfit describes your style, they have: unique, dark, playful, etc. So i decided to took some pictures of me wearing wool and I'm a dark.. What about you?

Bali, 14-15 Aug 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Gricia (Cia)) — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 04:12:00 +0000

Stairs to Padang2 Beach

My <3 at Padang2 Beach

Enjoying the sun and the skies

Karma Kandara Beach (view from the top)

Hell of stairs to Karma Kandara Beach

Strike a pose =D

Full team at Rock Bar

Ichen got wasted at 4AM after enjoying Sky Garden

Still hangover couple =D

So.. here is my uber late post about my trip to Bali last month.. Sorry guys =)

At day 2 we went to Padang2 Beach --> Karma Kandara Beach (got a lil story of it) --> Rock Bar --> Dinner at Menega, Seafood, Jimbaran --> Got crazy at Sky Garden.

As u can see at above picture, if you want to enjoy Karma Kandara Beach, there's 2 option: using (hell of) stairs or using their small tram (don't know what to call) but you have to pay Rp 250.000. We thought that we have to pay 250K only for the tram and we think its kinda pricy.. So we decided to used stairs that could (almost) kill us.. Yess those huge stairs and those rocks to reach the beach are very exhausting! When we went down there's still a smile on our face but when we went up.. Oh my Gosh none of us talk cause we want to save our breath except my crazy boyfriend screaming "SEMANGAT" =D

When we finally reach back to the top, we got news from a friend that those 250K is not only for the tram!! but u'll get 100K F&B voucher and also kayaking + snorkeling tools!! Crazy huh! So next time you want to go to Karma Kandara, you know which option you should choose ok?!

Next is Rock Bar, I suggest you if you want to wait for the sunset, you can go around 5PM, cause we got there around 4PM and the sun is still a lil bit too high..so its kinda hot that we have to use 3 huge umbrella (Rock Bar provide em) to cover us.

And then dinner at Menega Seafood, since its a very famous restaurant, the place is so packed that we have to wait for an hour to get our dinner served.. Well if u go to Bali at low season maybe it's still ok but if you go at hi-season, better find another seafood restaurant.

Last but not least is our Sky Garden night (kinda hi lite of the day, eventhou not all of us went here). If you love to "drink" and dance, this is one of the hippest place.. They got 4 or 5 floor i forgot, so u can choose which dance floor u'd like to hit.. But if you just want to chill you can sit at the terrace area.. They had a great playlist that could keep us to stayed till 4AM..So the result for tomorrow is zombie face!!!

Actually on our last day we plan to go to Ubud area to visit the hanging garden and Bu Oka, too bad there's Ngaben on that day so probably there will be a traffic jam and we have to catch or flight on time..

Speaking about our flight.. Gosh such a long post eh?! Since all of us still in our zombie condition, we slept at the airport and i'm in a deep sleep.. Suddenly one of my friend is running to us and scream this is our LAST CALL!! Can you imagine you are in a deep sleep and got awake like that?! My heart is thumping so fast and all of us are running with our luggage.. And when we got into the plane, there're still lots of passenger who haven't get into the plane yet. Duhh??!!

Overall I really enjoyed this short trip.. And expecting another trip to Bali =))

Vintage dress - bought at Sing, Croco bag by Lumica, X SML peep toe heels

i want her studded headband

she reminds me with agyness, so cool..

my most favourite look of the night, such a beautiful dress

Me, Pamela - my office mate and her friend - Linda

Pamela is drooling all over this "Sexy Butler"

Entertainer of the night - "The Bath Boy"

The closing - dance all night long + free flow

Last night i attend Joy magazine launching party at Bistro Boulevard (ex. Buddha Bar), a license magazine from Germany. I can say that the party is quite hip.. why?
1. Dominic Lau from E News Asia as MC
2. Some local celebrities and socialites as the host
3. The drink mixer (barista) came from Sweden and its a free flow party
4. The entertainer is called "the bath boy" - he dance and did some acrobatics move at the bath tub that filled with water haha..
5. They named the butler - " sexy butler" coz they passing the cocktail with six pack
6. The doorprize - 2 ticket to Munich!

I found some interesting looks there so i took some snap. Best look of the night (for me) is the woman at number 4 picture. Love her dress so muchhh!!! Anyway Andien (the singer) also looks great with her vintage dress (didn't get the chance to took her pic) but she's kinda not following the dresscode -> trendy, sexy and stylish ;P

Which one is ur favourite?
