My 501 Interpretation

noreply@blogger.com (Gricia (Cia)) — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:25:00 +0000

Jeans has always been the timeless piece that all of us look up to. And when we talk about which jean we pick for investment? I bet the answer would be Levi’s. I wore Levi’s since I’m in college and my favorite is still the same pair until today. This season Levi’s back with the same great fit but in a lighter-weight shrink-to-fit twill and bold colors like red, blue, green, chino & white. So if you bored with light or dark blue jean, now you got more colors option ;)

Talking about how these brand get such large number of “groupies”, let me share you the story of the birth of an American Icon. The Levi’s 501 button fly jean was born on May 20, 1873. Time Magazine’s proclaim that it’s “the fashion item of the 20^th century”. From presidents to movie stars, farmers to fashion icons, this jeans has been defined by the people who wear them. It’s express individuality and universality. It’s the ultimate expression of personal style.

This year is the 140^th years of Levi’s 501 and since February through May they’re having one campaign called “501 interpretation” to celebrate the range of expressions of unique personal style from around the world. Levi’s fans (young and old) can join the movement by tagging photos of themselves in their 501 jeans with #501 on Twitter and Instagram or by uploading directly at www.LEVIS501.com. Cool thing about this campaign is Levi’s team will select photos that best represent to live in a limited edition “Book of 501” as a legacy for the future! Dope eh?!

Knowing this, I felt challenged to show my 501 interpretation. And here they are.. For me my 501 shorts is like my second skin.. I can wear it to some cool events during night, I can wear it during my casual day and I can wear it forever.. These are my interpretation. What’s yours?

Inacraft report

noreply@blogger.com (Gricia (Cia)) — Thu, 16 May 2013 03:34:00 +0000

Several snaps from my last visit to Inacraft, one of my most favorite exhibition. I think us, as Indonesia young generation should appreciate our local creation by using our local product. Trust me you'll find unique pieces there from fashion items to handicrafts.. We should put Inacraft in our agenda besides other events like Brightspot, Trademark, etc.. So i'll see you next year? =))

noreply@blogger.com (Gricia (Cia)) — Tue, 14 May 2013 09:03:00 +0000

Late post of Wakai Mad Show at Senayan City. Just like the title, they called it mad because the models are the unusual models like a pregnant woman, a gymnast, a bald woman, twin sisters wearing special designed Wakai shoes.

My kind of warrior

noreply@blogger.com (Gricia (Cia)) — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:15:00 +0000

I dedicate today's post in commemorate to one of Indonesia women's hero named KARTINI. I believe most of my readers knows Kartini, she's the pioneer of women's rights in Indonesia. For her, women should have their freedom to study and she's one of the reason how us Indonesia women can express our voice nowadays. So i've been thinking to share you guys my kind of (fashion) warrior and here they are.

1. Nina Karina Nikicio

The founder of Nikicio label, I adore her ability to keep on designing timeless pieces. She said “ i want to challenge the notation of a fashion world. no trends. no seasons. no fads. my clothes have to be able to be worn & last forever.” And she did it. I have several Nikicio items, and my favorite is my paper dress.. It's not your regular fashion item. It's a fashion statement.

2. Diana Rikasari

She's the reason why this blog exist. She's not an ordinary woman. Her unique and quirky taste got positive and negative comments. But Diana keep on shining and know she had her own shoe brand called I WEAR UP, which very describe her bubbly personality and she's not forget to give back to the community because for every pair we purchase, IDR 5.000 will goes to scholarship for low-income children. Amazing eh?

3. Cindy Biantoro

The free spirited woman, the brain behind ONLYi. I always enjoy her blog posts because it filled with her beautiful photography, art work and design. Talking about design, she just launched her Kartini collection. You can take a look here. Most of her design have an individual touch of her, which made each piece so personal and precious.

4. Felicia Budi

I just post about fbudi pre fall 2013 collection to my blog, i guess i don't need to say much why Felicia is in this list. The high standard of craftsmanship is her strength, a love of texture and textiles enrich the final result. When you know how to appreciate an attainment properly then fbudi is the answer.

5. Niluh Wayan Ayu

I met Iin at the office, when she still working as a fashion editor. Now Iin decided to concentrate to build OJA her accessory brand. For me OJA stands out among other accessory brand because of it's oddity, it's like screaming WEAR ME IF YOU DARE! Haha.. Each piece was made by her own hand.. And her newest collection is Manhattan. A clutch bag made from plastic. The motto is Fight Plastic With Plastic. So cool!!!

I hope by reading this, to all beautiful, nerd, geek, edgy, chic, etc people out there don't be afraid to be yourself, go on to be different, be true to yourself. Speak up! It will bring happiness to your life. Fighting!

Welcoming Wet n Wild

noreply@blogger.com (Gricia (Cia)) — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:46:00 +0000

Have you heard about Wet n Wild Cosmetics? if not, me neither at first. But I'm lucky enough coz I got several products (see above photo) for me to try on..

My first attempt is using their Liquid Eyeliner - ultra black color, Blusher - mellow wine color and lipstick - think pink color. The eyeliner is very easy to apply, the blusher is my every day blush now and i fell in love with the pink lipstick instantly. It's the perfect pink I'm looking for!

Second is I'm trying the lipstick with red velvet color, some of you might notice that i'm a fan of red lipstick and this red velvet has completed my collection of red lipstick =)) The lipstick glides on easily, made with hydrating skin-care ingredients. That's great coz my lips skin is quite sensitive.

Oh they also have some sophisticated colors of nail polish. I've tried the "I Red a Good Book" color. Very easy to use because they got the ManiCurve Pro Brush and my manicurist approved it ;)

Check out Wet n Wild WEBSITE now! or visit their FACEBOOK and TWITTER. The good news is they are affordable so you don't have to break your piggy bank ;D

Lets play with Noona

noreply@blogger.com (Gricia (Cia)) — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 06:41:00 +0000

Casual Look - Kidnapped Ally headband, Top bought at Korea, Noona Skirt

Summer Look - RiotousBy SEM sunnies, Gifted top, Noona skirt

Girl Next Door Look - Gifted glasses, Top bought at Korea, Noona skirt, Sophie Kinsella book

Finally an outfit post =D Last weekend I'm playing with this Chevron print swing skirt from Noona. I love how it can create different looks just by putting different top on it ;)

First one the casual look, i think putting a loose top or sweater on a mini skirt is kind of on trend now. During my last trip to Korea, lots of Korean girls dress up this way.. Well maybe for those who lives in Indonesia should pick a top with lighter fabric.

Second one is my favorite, the summer look. I can imagine myself wearing this to a music festival like Coachella haha.. And a pair of RiotousBySEM sunglasses complete the look... You should check some sunnies they had btw. Affordable and deym COOL..

Third one is the girl next door look. So not me.. ;P But i kinda like it thou. I looked more feminine. Am I? =D So which one is your favorite?

Check Noona new arrivals HERE! Oh btw you should check the twilight sparkle full skirt and the chiffon midi skirt. LOVEEE EM!

noreply@blogger.com (Gricia (Cia)) — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:01:00 +0000

Last day at Genting.. We start our day by having breakfast at Coffee Terrace where we can eat lots of different type of foods, Sushi, Laksa, Pancake, name it! After enjoying our last breakfast at Genting, time for free time, I decided to visit some stores especially Vincci, it’s a local footwear brand from Malaysia. Got a pair of sandals =)

Before leaving Maxims Hotel, we had a quick lunch at Bakery (again).. Happy that we can have our lunch here, there are still lots of their menu I want to taste.. This time I chose the sandwich.. Nom Nom.. Seriously its very delicious guys! Christine, our host surprise us by putting several pretty yet yummy macaroon :9 So that’s how we spend our last day at Genting. Sadly we have to ended this fun trip experience.. Special thanks to Resorts World Genting and Indonesia Blog Network for having me in this trip. Already miss my new friends and Genting.. For you guys who have plan to go to Kuala Lumpur, don’t forget to visit Genting as well, you can use Sky Way for the transportation btw.. If you don’t have much time I recommend you to try Sky Venture and Flying Coaster at Genting, for the culinary experience well all of the restaurants I have visited is a must try =)

Snow World

Genting Trip 16-18 Oct 2012 Slideshow: @griciaeffendi’s trip to Tanah Tinggi Genting was created with TripAdvisor TripWow!

Day 2 is the day where the itinerary was quite packed. We start our day by having breakfast at Bakery, Maxims Hotel. It’s an open restaurant with tall windows so you can enjoy the mountain view. Bakery serves pastry and sandwich, both are great.. Since the restaurant called Bakery and I’m a sweet tooth gal, I decided to order the apricot Danish with hot chocolate =) In my opinion, having breakfast at Bakery is a must when you visiting Genting. Finished with breakfast, time for theme park! Yayyy… We tried all the thrilling ride and the hi lite is the flying coaster!!! Really really fun! You should try this.. Never seen a ride like this in other theme park.

Time is running and it’s lunch time. We had our lunch at Happy Valley Seafood restaurant and the “festival” is begin, they served 9 kind of foods. Yes I know it’s a lot.. One of them is the huge lobster… I already forgot when is the last time I ate lobster. Like long long time ago… Haha.. Besides lobster my favorite is the Singapore chilli crab, steamed sea grouper (fish) and the deep fried bean curd in thai sauce. Superb! Finished with lunch, next is Snow World where you can experience snow with Christmas ambience.. My mistake that I’m wearing short jeans.. haha.. So I borrow their big size jacket and boots because I wear flip flops and then we enter the snow world!!! We suggested to not bringing our camera because it might broken your camera since the temperature is very cold.. You can ask the camera man inside the Snow World to snap some photos and then you can buy the printing with special design after finished experiencing the Snow World.

The excitement did not end here, we still have Sky Venture in our itinerary its basically like flying through the hard wind.. haha.. First we have to measure our weight to make sure we are still in the allowed weight, after that we have to wear a suit and change our sandals with shoes (they will borrow you), then we have to learn some hand signal coz when you’re in the wind tube you cannot talk coz the wind is so hard, communication with the trainer is using hand signal.. Finally time to experience the Sky Venture! The trainer get in to the wind tube and giving examples of dos and don’ts while we are in the wind tube.. Then moment of truth, all of us queuing with nervous. It’s time for my turn. With all the guts I have I go inside the tube and OMG it’s not easy man! The way you spread your legs, hands, fingers and body position should be correct, the trainer of course assisting during the whole time.. Very challenging.. After all of us finished, . Actually I doubt to do it again. But I told myself you can do this Gricia! Hahaha.. This time the trainer let me fly on my own and suddenly he grab my hand and leg to make a tornado!!!! He took me flying by making a circle movement up and down… So much fun!

Finished with fun attraction, one of most awaited itinerary, spa time at M Spa! I choose to have a foot massage + body scrub. It’s very relaxing.. After the massage and scrubbing, I tried their steam room and Jacuzzi. We can take a bath after finished. They have complete facilities. You only need to bring your body.

Finally the last itinerary of the day, dinner at Ming Ren. Like the others, the restaurant served one of the best food I ever ate… At Ming Ren we tried some of their specialities such as - catch the lamb soup, Xinjiang lamb skewer, braised abalone, etc. But personally my favorite is the spicy roasted chicken. Sadly this dinner like a farewell dinner because it’s our last night at Genting. Since we want to make a special record of our sweet moments, we decided to have fun by dancing Gangnam Style and you can watch the hilarious video HERE. 2^nd night at Genting, went to sleep smiling…

Genting Trip Part 1

Lucky with his Lamborghini

Some of you might know from my twitter post that from 16-18 oct I went to Genting together with Indonesia Blog Network and several bloggers. As far I can remember, last time I went to Genting is like 10 years ago with my friend using Sky Way from Kuala Lumpur (KL). This time I got the chance to visit and explore Genting more than I ever had..

When we arrived at KL airport, two hosts from Resorts World Genting, Dee Lin and Christine welcome us and directly took us to Gohtong Jaya (a stop before Genting) using mini van to have some lunch at Ratha Restaurant. This is where our culinary “tour” begin. Ratha speciality is their fish head with curry soup, it satisfy my love for spicy food. Nom nom :9 After that we continue with eating durian! My favorite!!! Even though I’m quite full after had the lunch but of course I don’t want to miss the famous durian. So I ate several durians and fellow bloggers starting to call me durian queen.. haha..

Then we continue to Strawberry Park, there we can pick some strawberries, visit the lavender park and they also plant different kind of mushroom. Besides sightseeing, we can also bought their fresh items like strawberry jam, toiletries product from lavender and mushroom snack. After that, we went to Chin Swee temple which located quite near from Genting, that’s why it’s quite foggy there and the view is very breath taking… The uniqueness is one of the temple part is build inside a cave and you can drink the ”holy water” that flows from the mountain. I also try the Buddhist ritual, I don’t know what it called but you can ask a question in your heart and then using the bamboo tube to find the “answer”. When you shake the bamboo, a stick will come out and show a number where the temple staff will read what’s written on the paper based on the number that written on the stick.

Finished with Gohtong, we arrived at Maxims Hotel. It’s the best hotel in Genting! Lucky us coz we will stay for 2 nights there. I love the room interior coz its minimalist yet warm.. Later, we had dinner at one of restaurant that located in Maxims Hotel called Bubble and Bites. The decoration is very stylish with unique blue-ish lighting, very cozy.. I picked T-bone for my dinner and it taste deadlicious (deadly delicious)!!! They also serve some wines, Asti and Bottega which taste really really good! Especially because we pair it with the fine meat… Happy tummy happy me =)

Since the night is still young, we decided to go to Patio, a semi outdoor bar with live music. Fellow bloggers are starting to order drinks and the high light of the night is Lamborghini!!! We starting to order more and more to challenge each blogger to finish those flaming drink.. haha.. What a great first night for us who just met each other for the first time that day.. Patio close our first day perfectly =))
