Winter Outfits Collective - Casual Chunky

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 23:38:23 PST

Hi everyone...! Do you open advent calendar? What have you found today? :)

Well...you can find some of my winter outfits here heheheh. I have collected some of my cold weather outfits in one post. Just random but most of them are casual, chunky and comfy!

I couldn't take new outfit pics cause I haven't got new camera yet...so sad...except....a little 3.2 mp pocket cam we found in fleas! The LCD is broken and we paid 1 Euro for it, but it has view finder and it works! Don't know yet how to set self timer :). I haven't used it. My hubby has taken some spontaneous awkward shots of me, he has fun with it cause it has view finder, just like SLR., haha, no comparison!

Agh, ok, so take a look my cold weather outfits...

The Irish aran cardigan is kind of conservative I would say, but I like it. So I pair it with urban graphic tee. It's thick, warm and comfy. I love the knitting pattern.

Hehehe, my pose is totally awkward!

Metallic nails!

A pinch of wild with fake fur..(but easy maintenance!)

Oversized Romwe cardigan appeared in this post.. H&M scarf I wore in 2 posts back.

Same boots as before, same cord pants different color, but this time with quilted jacket I've worn in this post.

You see I wore same items in different time, mix it in different ways. The most repeating worn probably my beanies. It goes with everything. What's your personal fave combos for cold weather?

What sad is my boots I wore you saw on pics above. Those belonged to my mother in law (I've never known her, she passed away years ago)! I love wearing them, but the surface has been damaged, cracks all over. :(

All items in the outfit are old! Some are unbranded.

Irish aran cardigan: Shades of Aran

Belt: Converse

Nail polish: Essence 83 Luxury Secret

Sherling aviator jacket and blue quilted jacket: via Syndikat shop in the mall, @ ca. 10 Euro! Discount price.

Oversized cardigan: Romwe, still available here!

Scarf and beanies: H&M

Brown cord pants: L.O.G.G. H&M

Chocolate boots: Gabor

Boho boots: vintage ....

Thanks for reading and have a beautiful December! Stay warm!

Thank You Glam Devils for Glam Gifts : French Connection Necklace and Dr. Hauschka Powder Duo

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:03:59 PST

Hi everyone!

I would like to share you a happiness. I won giveaway from Glam Devils blog :). It had made my day. Thank you Glam Devils! They have great blog and sense of style, check it out: GLAM DEVILS.

Oh, so pretty early gift before newyear despite that I don't have camera anymore (my cameras are broken including handy so I had to borrow one!) :).

I love what I won indeed, a French Connection Ring Necklace and Dr. Hauschka Powder Duo Cool Breeze !

I combined the necklace with another necklaces and bracelet to make a statement multilayered necklace. Take a look below to see the original pieces and full story!

These are the original design of the French Connection necklace and Dr. Hauschka Powder Duo. Great packaging with big mirror.

Three photos above are from Glam Devils. They do take beautiful photos.

I like the design of the necklace. It has big hook and some big rings. Beside that it looks beautiful on its own, I could also easily combined with other necklace and jewelries to make a statement necklace. I combined it with leather necklace, crystal butterfly pendant, and even silver bar bracelet. Do you know, it took me quite a while to realize that a necklace can really made a look even on a very simple outfit.

A little story about powder, I had bad skin infection on my face for years that made scars and over medication I tried also damaged my skin. After that tragedy I've never used cosmetic or make up on my face except baby powder and once in a while a mosturizer. Since I have a blog and take picture of my self :), I am interested in trying some make up especially powder. Shading, bronzing, light foundation, blush, so my face will look smoother and more structure. So it's really lovely that I won this Dr. Hauschka powder duo!

This powder doesn't cause any break out so far. It smell wonderful and the colors blend on my Asian skin evenly even on the scars. However, I haven't used it for long yet. I should use it little by little to see if my skin really can get along well with it. I also haven't could really used it as facade because I should learn first and need together with it maybe foundation, blush, etc :) :) Therefore maybe you couldn't see the difference here on photos but i am happy with this powder, as well as with the necklace.

Don't forget to check Glam Devils blog, you may found great inspirations there.

For more photos of me styling the necklace, visit my photo blog Chachamisu here. I pair it with round glasses from Firmoo in Self Portrait photographs.

Necklace: French Connection
DIY statement necklace mix recipee: leather necklace, some different chains, butterfly crystal pendant, Silver Bar bracelet as necklace from Yameyu. (I also won this bracelet from giveaway in www.diaryofaworkingmom.com) :)
Turtleneck T-shirt: Petit Bateau
Leather skirt: thrifted
Suede bag: thrifted
Parka jacket: Casa Blanca Charles Vögele

That's it for today, I hope you like it. Meanwhile I have no camera, I may post my outfit in the past or when I have chance i would like to borrow a camera again :). Thanks for reading, come over again sometime soon!

WISH YOU A SUPER INSPIRING WEEK

Autumn Emerald

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 12:44:18 PDT

Knit top: Vivienne Westwood Red Label (old)

Scarf: H&M (2011 collection)

Jeans: Armani Exchange

Leather Brougue Pumps: Dorndorf (old)

I had travelled with train and road trip, walked and hiked till my winter boots had hole on the bottom! I started the Autumn in Germany and continued to Austria to see the leaves turned to red, yellow and orange while some of them were staying green. I love autumn colors since I only could see it in books and TV before I moved to Europe.It's definitely my fave season. However, the snow has been down early this year.

I've been loving dark deep and rich colors since a little girl, especially deep green. Well, i like pink too :). I remembered a zodiac article in news paper that my dad cut for me. It said that my color was deep green like emerald. What do you think i wore this color again? Does it fit me?

REBECCA MINKOFF Spring/Summer 2013 RTW Inspired - GET THE LOOK FOR UNDER $100 & Remix!

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 04:34:26 PDT

Hi everyone!

Today I have a special post for you.

After watching Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2012 Ready to Wear collection from this video (click) here, I was instantly inspired. Beside the colors and the bags (I used to associate Rebecca Minkoff with awesome bags) my eyes was easily caught by some details:

gradient flower prints; they remind me of floral pattern clothes that some part of them washed away by sweat, but in a good way that pretty is a result!
oversized man-shirt-like sleeves, which i call boyfriend sleeves.
fringe hem that i always love
lace up details which currently I hunt in relation to my wish for the perfect lace up booties and native Austrian clothing (Oktober Fest time).
In collective way, there are also plaid, unisex T-shirt, ombre, and ethnic look stripes.
These are not all yet...(keep reading to find out)

The whole look for me was a modern, sporty woman with a feminine boho spirit of freedom. She is dynamic but calm, smart, optimistic and of course self confident.

However there is one thing more that has inspired me from the collection:

the layering !

These summer layering I want to try even for the upcoming fall. Below I show you the layering looks in Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2013 i have highlighted together with inspired outfit you can get for under $100 ! Take a look!

First, I am interested in how she layered a sophisticated spaghetti strap dress with the "boyfriend sleeves shirt" (pardon my metaphor)

Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2013 - Get The Look for Under $100 by chachamisu featuring a chiffon cocktail dress

Chiffon cocktail dress, €21 / Vintage top, €24 / BKE Domingo Bracelet, €7,65 / Sandals

Second is two spaghetti strap dresses, instead of two tank tops or tank top with dress. I like how this layering plays the shapes of two dresses and the sheer fabric over the floral. I think it will create an interesting effect when moving. Complete the look with gladiator sandals, it resonates bohemian vibe.

Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2013 - Get The Look for Under $100 by chachamisu featuring blowfish sandals

ASOS form fitting dress, €15 / Old Navy eyelet dress, €14 / Blowfish sandals, €12

Third, I like if sheer top is worn in a classy way. I see a lot people wearing sheer top lately, around or in internet. In this one of Rebecca Minkoff collection, all pieces just fall into place and balance. It looks comfy but not clumsy. I believe I will look taller in it too :). Just make sure each piece fits properly.

Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2013 - Get The Look for $100 by chachamisu featuring a white chiffon shirt

White chiffon shirt, €22 / Wet Seal cropped jacket, €15 / Clemence Pull-on, €18 / Forever 21 ankle wrap sandals, €21

So what do you think? Note that these copycat looks I created are all excluding the bags, okay :).

As for my self, experimenting bits and pieces of the Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2013 RTW collection, I present to you one of the result: an inspired Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2013 outfit for $0! Why $0? Well, it's a combination of items I have already had plus a little DIY touch with materials happen to be lying around me :).

So let me remix some details i love from the collection which include lace up jumper, fringe, ombre and shirt. Yup, all! It turn out as below!

So this hald DIY remix is easy peasy.

For the jumper, Safety pins + cotton lace. Personally I like safety pins lately, even of course you can do many other ways. Slip the pin up to its full length to make it looks made to be and not breaks the fabric when it's pulled.

For the fringe skirt, i used wide long scarf, which I saw similar in some shopping malls for 3 Euros, well not the cashmere one. There is the wider one than what I wore. I folded it diagonally so the fringe would be on the bottom and i had a long hem for my waist. However I took care that the corners still overlap each other, and just wrapped it around my waist. I didn't make a knot like wearing beach sarong. I used textile floral belt. The upper part was stacked on my curve and a little bit folded down. I wore a short legging underneath. I would like to layer it with floral skirt next time!

So that's it! I wore it and was being cool and confident :). I just hope that my explanation is clear enough for you!

Cotton knit jumper: C Dept Hennes & Mauritz (my sister bought it in Sweden)

Shirt:

Coral heel sandals: Zalando

By the way, I made this post for entering competition Bloglovin x Rebecca Minkoff to make a blogspost inspired by this collection. The prize is $1500 shopping spree and the winner will be chosen by Rebecca Minkoff her self!More about click here.

Stripes and Candy

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 16:37:10 PDT

Hi, beautiful people!

I am almost speechless to start this post. This outfit has made my day, a great mood booster for going trough summer-to-fall days.

After long day of red legs (see previous post), these legs of mine turn into gradient of yellow candy like a bold statement to say: Yes I am still walking trough a warm sunshine no matter how cold breeze it is! I got this tights from Choies here. It's thicker than I thought before, warm and comfy. Since I am petite, the color looks more opaque but I like it that way. There are various of color option available, I wish I could collect all of them :).

The other mood booster and bold statement are arm candies! Do you agree? The pretty Coral Woven with Gold Chain bracelet is from Ginny's Jewels. I won it via giveaway at Rory's blog Wear Abouts.

Check out Ginny's Jewels store here to discover more of Ginny's beautiful handmade jewelries and Rory's beautiful blog here to be inspired by her georgeous style! I can count on this bracelet to polish my look. This time I pair it with colorful glass bangles and pearls. What do you think?

Oh did you notice above? I can even wear it as statement necklace!

Not to forget my stripes! This black and white stripes coat with ruffle collar I wore at my wedding (Yes it was!!) and I got it from thrift store :). The details pieces have been vulnerable cause perhaps I didn't do the right maintenance for it, that's sad. I would need to hunt for new golden buttons

Stripes coat: thrift store;

White tee: Here + There Cool from C&A;

Skirt: H&M sale;

Yellow Gradient Tights: Choies;

Coral Woven with Gold Chain bracelet: Ginny's Jewels;

Other arm parties: presents/souvenirs;

Black glitter flats: Claire's store.

Nude nails: French Pink nail polish Parlez-vouz Francais set from The Color Workshop

Thanks for reading. Your feedback would be much appreciated. Keep inspiring and wish you a super inspiring moment.

Batik + Bold Red Legs

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:01:31 PDT

Hi everyone! Just felt like something comfy and crowded, with a little Kate Spade vibe met a little of Orla Kiely vibe, met a little of ethnic vibe, etc! How about layers, colorful batik and bold legs? And that day I felt like RED tights!

If you happen to travel to South East Asia, Indonesia especially, and looking for a dress, I recommend you to get cotton batik dress. It's super comfortable and cool. There are stylish designs available nowadays. You can get batik dress for cheap price in local market but be careful of the quality of the stitching.

What do you think about colorful tights by the way? ? I had read an article that said colorful tights aren't suitable for over 30 years old woman but I don't agree! Even for over 80! Even when I dress up and look like 20s or teenager, it would be not because of my bold legs.

Batik dress from local market in Jogja, Indonesia

Cropped cardigan from Mango Basics

Red nylon tights bought in Hover market.

Black flats from Cube (similar can be found in multilabels shoe store)

Here I created for you an online shopable versions of my look above. Well..quite crazy mix! I am sorry if you still like pastel tone all over cause below seems to be all the colors in the world :) hahaha. Each item is under 50 Euros.

Kate Spade vibe meets Ethno meets everything! by chachamisu featuring ballet shoes

Rare London strapless dress, €24 / Floral print dress, €28 / Motel dress, €35 / 2b cropped cardigan, €16 / Charlotte Russe crop top, €12 / Black short sleeve cardigan, €13 / Cropped cardigan, €6,29 / Orange stocking, €10 / Tight / Fogal patterned tight / Over the knee socks, €9,52 / Color block shoes, €32 / Ballet shoes, €28 / John Lewis black pumps, €31 / John Lewis sparkly shoes, €38 / O'Neill straw handbag, €33 / Forever New straw tote handbag, €33 / Mantaray canvas tote, €24 / Cross body handbag, €24 / Beaded clutch, €24 / Reiss straw bag, €27 / Vera Bradley tote, €31 / H&M leather clutch, €25 / Pippa & Julie Batik Dress (Big Girls), €25

.....

Today I also want to share you style journal the last week:

Mango outlet is awesome. I love that Mango uses luxurious fabrics like wool, silk, linen and leather. And their sale or outlet price could be really cheap! Sadly, I have problem with their size:(. Especially due to my petit flat body and short torso. Found 100% silk dress for 8 Euros in a too long wast and leather pant for 14 Euros but it was much too big. The shoes were the same. I had problem with heels as my feet somehow always slipped down and that way hurt my big toes. I found a basic black pointy kitten heels for about 12 Euros. It was my size 37 but it just didn't work. :( huhuhu....

I finally ended up in Annie jewelries store, brought home a pocket of ten pieces of broken jewelries for 1 Euros! Hahahaha. I want to recycle them, Some of them just need glue.

Another awesome fleamarket in Eichgraben, few kilometers from Vienna. It was not big but there were pretty secondhand clothes from some high street brands, vintage leather jackets, Austrian hats, vintage lady coats. Again, size matter! The price is in average 1 Euros. I saw a woman bought a pile of vintage leather bags for 5 Euros and a couple tried coats, the man tried a vintage shearling leather jacket, so cool.

Took a look in local boutique and found a fab grey trench coat from Esprit for 20 Euros, and a very chic white blazer from ...I forgot ....It had georgeous design indeed I tell you, with feminine sharp cut and double look pockets). Again, both are a way too big, size 36. :(

The last one, this morning: I finally painted my nails! Yohoo! The last time I did was about 8 years ago! Got The Color Workshop french manicure set in Pagro Diskont for 6 Euros including 3 nail polishes in pink, white, beige, topcoat etc. It's not everytime available. I just googled it and got info that the brand comes from Walmart. However, I love the result. Easy to be applied and very smooth.. I tried one layer of nude pink one. It can't be seen in the pic because it's just like naked nails with shiny healthy look. Oh, and I just cut my nails so not compare with the packaging's photo :).

I hope you enjoy my post. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful inspiring week!

Don't forget to follow my blog if you like :).

Floral and Vitamin Movie Night

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 18:51:00 PDT

Hi lovelies! How are you? I have been in a not so good condition psychologically as I silly posted in my photography blog here. But as you can see I have finally had new post. I want to thank you for new visitors and of course new followers. I visit you back as soon as I can.

That day we watched Prometheus premiere. I wore just ordinary casual outfit that I had worn the whole day. Vitamin colors; yellow and orange on blue jeans! Seems the colors can spark a little of happy mood just like vitamin.

What do you think better? Tuck in or not?

The floral blouse I bought in Matahari Dept. Store in my hometown, it's girl size:).

The jeans uses to be my fave. Bought in the same store from label Sixty Jeans. (not Miss Sixty). It fits my petite figure and my curve without altering. No gap, no undies contour, no baggy along hip line, not too long legs. It has slightly stretch fabric but not too stretchy. I can easily move and dance in it! Plus, it has special memory because this was one of outfits I bought with my first salary as a new employee.

By the way, I find difficult to get the perfect size and proportion pant here in Europe.

I purchased the Heart Sunnies at Romwe. Mood booster!

I was thankful that the cinema is in the shopping mall so I could taste my first frozen yogurt and tiramisu before it started. Seriously, this was first time I ate frozen yogurt and it was delicious.

In the right photo above and left photo below I look shorter. I wonder if it was the pose or the jeans, or the way I wore it.

Gladiator sandals from Ginger & Mary. They are comfy and I start to like the tick tock sound! Before the sound did bother me:)

I haven't painted my nail for very long time. Years! So i think the gold accent on the sandals quite decorated my feet:).

My pretty new love! I got this orange Cube bag from Madonna magazine giveaway:). I love it. It has a lot of pockets. I have to squeeze some stuffs in though but I made it. I didn't find the website of the brand unfortunately. We can get this label Cube's products at multilabel shoes and bags stores.

Bonus: I can wear its strap as a belt or necklace:) Score!

Okay, that's all for now. I am going to sleep, pretty tired. But I won't leave befor wishing you wonderful and inspiring new week!

xoxo,

Nataya

My Retros: Orange, Crochet and Print

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 14:39:08 PDT

Here is me 2007! I picked this photos for My Retros series because the colors and print remind me of Fall, kind of inspiration for the transition to upcoming season. I still have the orange top with crochet details but the print capri pant has gone. Can't believe it tough I owned that capri pant since I was mid-teen and still wore it in my mid-twenties! I would still keep it if I didn't move to Austria probably. Such a keeper:).

On the last pic I wore it with black denim you couldn't see. I am like floating hehehe. I took these photos with Sony Ericsson K608i! Not bad for an old handphone. Eek, I have been taking pics of my own outfit since I had not known such fashion blogs exist like nowadays. I shared my photos in Friendster tough and my blog in blogspot was more random photos and not serious. Maybe I should not delete my old blogs. On a way it was better artistic expressions.

Back to the look, I love crochet details. I tried to make one but it was not successful. However it has successfully been a nice thing to spend time with. How about you, do you like knitting/crocheting?

Top with crochet details: Connexion via Matahari Dept. store in Jogja

Print capri pant: Exit via Matahari Dept. store in Jogja.

Since they were so old, I paired with Polyvore for you crochet details and print pant that are shopable. I hope you like it!

Not a Little Black Dress

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 05:17:17 PDT

In the previous post I talked about attending an event where I would wear the dress I got from Hoss Intropia at. Well, I am sorry to say, everything was out of the plan!

More to sorry for, I didn't have perfect sharp outfit photo at the event but I got some before I went.

The story went like this. The event was the famous opera Mozart's Don Giovanni as a part of Sommertraum Festival in Semmering. I was so sure that it would be in Vienna. No, it was not. Not to ask my self how I missed the details. We would drive the car 3 hours from our town to get there. My husband talked about looking a spot to spend the night, which mean sleeping in the tent. (And I prefer car instead if we wouldn't sleep in a room.

I took consideration necessary of all the happy picture in my mind.

It would be so hot, I would sweat like crazy and no heavenly shower. Note that the car has no air conditioner, and we would drive at noon.
The Hoss Intropia dress made from soft silk and lace, it feels so delicate and luxurious. I don't want to take a risk to wear it in a "tough" condition for the very first time.
There was no Gala dress code.
I don't have any matching shoes.

However, guess what I decided to wear! A little black dress? Not that little, this oversize black shantung silk shirt I wore as a shirt dress! Even it is silk (could be blended or synthetic polyester silk too, no care label attached) it is so durable. I wore over a nylon tank. It is so oversize but not wrinkled, and kind of having a volume, structure and rough texture. I have two choices of black crossbody bags, all are roomy enough to even carry my essential toiletries. I pair the dress with glitter black ballerinas. So, yea, it was all about flexibility and easy maintenance. Better after, we slept in a dorm and had a shower, yippie!

The Art Nouveau living room.

I wore all black head to toe, my husband wore white linen head to toe! We were more like the opera players.

The opera is a chamber opera version of Mozart's Don Giovanni ( source here ). It was played moving from one room to other rooms of Art Nouveau style Kurhaus building, also at the front yard you saw above. However it was so great, entertaining and had funny humor. You can not see Don Giovanni in above photo because he was hiding and made his servant Leporello (the guy with a hat on the photo, Pierce Brosnan look alike, my husband said) to be undercover as him.

More photos would be posted at my photography blog someday, (someday, not now). So check out my other blog and follow too if you like. There would be plenty of my photography of vintage pieces, color themes, event, old building and more.

Or, you can check the event's website here then you can also see the photo of the whole beautiful Art Nouveau Kurhaus building.

Oversized blouse worn as a shirt dress in black shantung silk: thrifted, no labels attached, it could be made from synthetic silk or blended materials as well, it could be custom tailored. I have no idea;

Black crossbody bag 1 with golden locked: thrifted at Naschmarkt Vienna every Saturday;

Black crossbody camera bag 2 in cow leather: Romwe (sold out);

Chain belt: belongs to other dress from Syndikat store;

Glitter black ballerinas: Claire's at Traisen Park shopping center in Sankt Pölten, sale price for €3;

If you recognize my lips: Labello Fruity Shine Pomegranate bought in dm. Better than lipstick on my lips, it is amazing lip care product!
Event and Place: Mozart's Don Giovanni chamber opera version as a part of Sommertraum Festival in Semmering. Played in beautiful Art Nouveau style Kurhaus. More in source here.

And as usual, I polyvored shirt black dress and gold accents -evening event without gala dress code - look for you. All pieces below/ca. €40.

Mesh It Up

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:45:21 PDT

Hi. A late post today, I really MESH it up. This mesh tank top is may be the most complicated top I have. This is a time for looking sporty, this time I even perhaps can wear this mesh top for fishing!

I pair it with a linen jacket which perfect for summer. I love how the textures all mixed together, with a line of pink color at my skirt and legging.

Oh cheap gummy slippers! (I'm not sure to mention them as crocs because they are not original brand Crocs) I have problem with summer shoes and sneakers lately, nothing is perfect. The green sneakers hurt my ankles, the Puma one are getting slippery and suck water too much, the sandals scratch my skin, my man shoes are in maintenance because they start stinky So if you think my gummy slippers mess up my chicness, honestly I have my feet all very happy.

So what do you think about the mesh top and cheap gummy "crocs"?

Mesh top: Syndikat fashion store at Lugner City, Vienna.

Linen jacket: L.O.G.G H&M (old)

Cotton skirt: Maui Wowie

Sport legging: Crivit, bought in Hofer supermarket in my town. There are a lot of Hofer in Austria, they sell clothes too from various companies which each time are always different.

Now I mix another sporty, energic look that inspire from mesh top and sport activities. I hope it is inspiring.

PS: I received a parcel from Hoss Intropia today! I'm so happy. It's not 100% similar with my blog post (remember? it's here). However I am truly grateful. I plan to wear the dress at an event in the upcoming days. I hope I have a chance to take photos (It's in the night so I'm not sure) cause I want to share with you all. Stay tune!

My Retros: Tee + Blue Jeans Forever

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 16:37:51 PDT

Hi!

I have new category in my post, which I name it My Retros. In this category I will take you time travel back to my past. Eek, sounds not fun? Just like conversation between a couple when one of them is curious about the past then you know....it's The Past! It could happen between me and my husband then I could yell back: "Well I like vintage!" (like or "like")

Okay, so, in My Retros I will review my old outfit years back as long as there are photos available.

Back to few years ago (I actually forgot what the actual date. My photo's property didn't tell a lot.) I hadn't finished my study, short hair, oily face full suffering from pimples! (Later I knew it was mixture of stress, over drying medication and soap allergy)

I had this very comfy minty cotton T-shirt, well fitted while embracing the feminine figure. I bought in a shopping center in Jakarta for 25.000 Rupiahs, about less than $4! So sad I didn't keep it. I paired it with blue jeans. Not surprising? I thought after saw these photos, as long as they fit well, this combo is timeless, agree?

I put together randomly some pieces I like with Polyvore. Each T-shirt cost around $30 or less, jeans costs below $50. Click the caption to see details. As for footwear, I prefer barefoot when I have chance!

Floral,White,Parka, Summer Garden!

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 05:38:07 PDT

Hello! First, I would like to say thank you to new followers and readers, you all have made my day!

This post is special, because it's the first time i Polyvore a copycat set from my own outfit (better one I hope) to share with you all. Don't stop rolling down if you would like to know.

Before, I show you my outfit that day. I was in the mood of flower garden but I wanted a little bit more dressy. This what dressy ment for me: Blouse instead of T-shirt :).

Because the weather could be confusing (as always as I talked redundantly about it in every posts), I had imagined adventure or expedition movies along with flower garden (I don't know why) that moved my hand to grab my summer parka. And, as you can see below, I have little goldie bird on my sunnies!

Floral canvas skirt: thrifted by my sis somewhere in Jakarta, no brand attached;

White smock blouse with beads: Girl Shop at JJ Market Thailand (But it was a present from my mom);

White denim parka: Diesel (old);

Ballerinas: Cube;

Sunnies: Claire's at Traisenpark Shopping Center, St. Pölten, Austria, 5 Euro in 50%discount.

So...because there's nothing new in my outfit and I have a vision of better version, I tried to create an inspired look in Polyvore below.

Happy Summer Breeze Mix by chachamisu featuring summer skirts

Monki summer shirt / Double Agent Anorak / Paprika summer skirt, €32 / Kitten heels / Wedge sandals, €130 / Crochet handbag / Lovely Pigeon chain necklace, €23 / Madewell round sunglasses

In this version, like what I normally do, I mixed colors and textures all together in the happy summer feeling, it looks like a beautiful garden somewhere in the island with bright blue sky (how feeling is that?

I took endless to collect all together in Polyvore, not as easy as I thought to find the right pieces plus there was error in my browser. I'm not sure if I will do this again, sorry:(, but who knows.

Each piece here is less then $60 (some of them in Euro, I was lazy to convert) except the metallic blue sandals. I couldn't resist these ones!

Let me know what you think.

Sporty Chic Look for Patricia Prito featuring Ray-Ban La Boca Wayfarers

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 18:41:47 PDT

Hi! Today I have created a look for Patricia Pietro. She is beautiful stylish Filipino blogger (and freelance stylist) behind Paradigma.

This look I made for entering her giveaway: RAY BAN x PARADIGMA to win Ray-Ban Rare Print Wayfarer sunnies.

I combine all the pretty items complementing this cool colorful Ray-Ban La Boca wayfarer sunnies (see the picture, right!). However, despite the temptation of the prize, I enjoyed creating this look as it was really fun (and rush as it is the final day and I am in Europe so I hope it's not too late!), imagining Patricia will look fab in this outfit! I am sure! You see her style and perhaps you will be agree.

I created sporty, dynamic, bold look for showing young, creative and energic character but still maintaining the simplicity, feminine silhouette and chic at the same time. I thought the Ray-Ban La Boca wayfarer is a bold statement on this look and I keep it to be that way, even I used the colors on other elements.

This look is a way easy to be transformed into more formal/party look for event like launch party.

I adore and believe in every items in this look, I even want to wear them by my self. What do you think?

Wish you all a wonderfull week!

Woolen Oversized Cardigan + Plaid

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 05:32:57 PDT

Hi! That day I wore oversized zip cardigan, purchased at Romwe. I love the way the lapels and the open parts hanging down on the side in a casual way. In my personal opinion it was kind of cool! It was real cool as well, by this mean it was the weather I talked about.

Let's talk about weather like strangers do. There are several cold days in summer even you can see I protected my eyes from the sun with that whimsy sunnies from Claire's.:) The cardigan should be warm but it has hollow knit so I let the wind blew trough it. I should wear long sleeves underneath next time than I'm sure it will work.

My slippers are cheapy things but they are definitely not trashes, the more often I wear them, they become total comfortable I can't deny. Their fake leather become more looks like genuine one. They can even beat my gummy ugly cheap croc!

I want to highlight my sunnies too but perhaps at any other day with a close up photo.

Cardigan in wool blend: Romwe, product link, $28.99;
Cotton plaid top: oldies of mine, no idea;
Jeans: Nevada via Matahari Dept. Store, Jogja, Indonesia;
Sunnies: Claire's (my fave accessories shop for whimsy pieces and cheap price), 5 Euro in discount;
Bag: H&M (old)
Slippers: Syndikat at Shopping City Süd, Austria, ca.7 Euro

Even most of my outfit pieces are old, the look is surely shopable and easy to be created.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I changed my layout again! I know..I know...it's like time consuming addicting computer game to me:) This time I have tons of studs on my background. How do you like it anyway?

I have some trouble as it opened slower than before I changed the layout so if you experience this error or slow loading too on your browser could you please tell me plus your suggestion if you want, I would be very thankful.

Boho Midsummer + Yellow Envelope Bag

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 05:38:07 PDT

Hello, how was your weekend? I hope all was wonderful for you.

Herr Murmel won premiere tickets for us to watch Woody Allen a Documentary, in Film Casino Vienna. If you haven't watch, I recomend it! It's inspiring and funny.

This is my outfit for our lucky day! I had not thought about Diane Keaton or Mia Farrow when I chose this style, but it happened to show the 70s boho vibe!

The embroidery blouse is vintage originally made by my beloved mom. It used to be hers as a charming young lady. My mom is a perfectionist when comes to sewing, so every piece she made is always the best! This one has mini scallops hem on the arms. There were two blouses alike but I had broken the blue one already. :(. How careless I was.

www.filmcasino.at.

My bag is from Koogul. I have told you in the previous post that I win this via My Choices are My Style blog. Thank you Koogul, thankyou Stella! I do love it. I can hang it on my shoulder or hold it as an oversized clutch. It carries a lot, even my netbook fit into it. I had to hold it though along the way. I was afraid to break it because my knick knacks inside were a way too much. I love the color, which is yellow. That's what I chose. It is bold and catchy as catchy as my owl! They're like ment to be a pair.

The Ivy Wreath I won from Hivenn blog giveaway. Thanks Jazzy! This is her own handmade. I got it long ago before I made this blog. When I don't wear it, it would be a beautiful decor for house as well. Somehow it reminds me of midsummer dream or fairy tale about princess in the woods, folk summer festival, what do you think?

My jeans is Armani Exchange, thanks to my friend for the present! It has been the most fit boot cut jeans I have ever had. Normally the length is too long so what should be the knees don't fall into the right place. It doesn't matter if everyone wears highwaist nowdays, I happily wear hipster, hurrey! ( I wore highwaist when hipster was such a big trend :))

Oh, unfortunately I didn't take self portrait in the cinema, but I took photos of my self before I went to Vienna. I hope it 's not a problem, as I had fun. I wish you have lucky days like us! See you!

Embroidery blouse: vintage, made by my mother;

Boot cut hipster jeans: Armani Exchanges;

Envelope bag in yellow: Koogul, $9.99;

Ivy Wreath: Hivenj by Jazzy (etsy shop, but at the moment it's not open) or Hivenn (Jazzy's blog);

Sandals: thrifted, no brand attached or maybe peeled off;

Sun glasses: Claire's, in discount price, 5 Euro, at Traisen Park Shopping Centre Sankt Pölten.

Trip Outfit Pass (-ed out) Port

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 05:38:07 PDT

With economy class train from Jakarta to Jogja. In South east Asia my hair was curlier and thicker, something to do with climate I guessed.

So this blog has been not only showing my outfits but more as a personal research of defining a personal style, including talking about the awkward of fashion moment in life. It is matter, isn't it, what to wear. I hope I could intrigue you to put a thought in connection of your personal experience. I have posted various outfit in my real life activities from shopping, cafe, Nordic walking, and so at home, in the way how mood based I am to style my self. Most of the time, the most reachable is the winner, function afterwards. As practical as that. Put aesthetic points aside.

Real life activities. Let's talk about what's hot in summer: travel. Trip. My last travel crossing country was when I came back to South East Asia, to my homeland Indonesia. Started from our town with ÖBB train to Wien (Vienna) Westbahnhof. From there we went with a bus to Vienna airport. We change aeroplane in Frankfurt, Germany. From there we flew to Singapore. We spent two days in Singapore, went anywhere with MRT before flew to Jakarta. We stayed about two-three nights ( I really forgot) in Jakarta then we finally went to Jogja with economy class train (which already had Air Condition horey:)).

The first out fit from Austria until Singapore. You can see more photos in my previous post here. Do you recognize my redundant ugly expression?

For outfit on the way, I have thought something like this, which looked like a perfect plan:

1. All layers needed for the cold air to hot humid climate, and rainy season.

2. Polyamid/nylon fabric that is comfortable. Polyester is easily smell, although dry fast.

3. Something i wouldn't mind to throw. I planned to bring my old clothes to Austria, so I would left some of clothes from here there.

4. A light dress, so i could easily put on or off pant or legging underneath. Shouldn't be transparent.

5. Modes, not too open.

My picks as you can see in the photos:

1. Blended material parka with big pockets and hood from Biaggini www.charles-voegele.com

2. Polyamid floral dress from Orsay.

3. Unbranded oversize pant. (This was pant that I would leave in Indo). It was too big at the ass but it was covered by the dress and jacket.

4. My man shoes from Micelino via Mirota Kampus Dept. Store Jogja. I bought before first time I came to Europe. Price ca. 12 Euro, real leather and last forever. I went with them hiking on Alps.

5. My trekking backpack, as usual. Bought in Bangkok, Thailand. Strong and protective enough for netbook/laptop. Hip pads are important so the weight felt lighter.

6. Socks.

The first outfit in Bali airport.

It got chilly so I changed my outfit to this one.

On the way back from Bali to Singapore, I wore a t-shirt and flared skirt when we came to airport. We arrived there much much earlier from the take off time so we had to make a temporary picnic area on the floor, just outside the check-in room. The air got so chilly so I decided to change my outfit to the blue floral dress again with a legging and white cotton hoodie jacket, then i felt warm enough to try to sleep on the trolley!

I have left my oversize pant in Indonesia. The white jacket was my old jacket I brought from my country.

The lesson I got here:

1. I didn't feel comfortable with the smock and strappy upper part of the dress. But the fabric and the length did work awesome.

2. The parka was too hot. However it had saved me when I went to the mountain, long way on the motorbike and under the rain. The pockets were very usable.

3. The legging was fit in the early time of wearing. An hour later it became too loose, but still comfortable, even though less chic:). I like that it was not seen trough. Actually it was called long john, bought at boy outfit H&M. 5 euro for two.

4. Bring water resistant and easy to clean sandals.

6. A big funky headphone could be cool for the train trip along with it's function. It would be kind of cluttering up though.

7. Hat and glasses for dealing with the strong sun light.

How about you? How was your trip plane/train/ship/bus outfit experience?

Wish you have a wonderful trip!

xo,
Naty Ponders

Summer Punch + My Winning News

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 05:38:07 PDT

Hi! I made special lookbook - scrapbook style for my outfit post today, full of fresh colors like a summer fruity punch.

Colors punch for breezy summer from citrus, orange, mint, paisley and flowers, all in the same shirt. It's perfect for the occasion since I wore it to go to doctor for blood test! The doctor was amazed of my thin vessels. He had to warm my arm then tried again. Pretty hurt. It's good to have happy pattern outfit when you feel hurt.

So here I am, might end up looking more like a spring girl. I still covered my self from head to toe. However that's the advantage of layers, right? Hot sun, cold breeze, and inside supermarket can be also so freezing, it confused me. When it started heating up, I put off my jacket and still wore my scarf. How about yu? Have you exposed some skin to have a glowing tan? Or you avoid sun burn like me ( I have skin bubbles few years ago all over my arm and I am not fans of sticky sunblock ).

After the doctor we went to Sankt Pölten. On the way we found an old wooden house which had been a place for working on glass or wood craft. Inside was clammy and cool and the sun came in from its broken roof top.

Mr. Marmot was so blend with that house, all brown as an almost perfect camouflage.

Pastel Blue Smock 2 - Summer Walking

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 10:32:56 PDT

Like I promised, showing you how I wore the Pastel Blue Smock Top for my regular summer walking.

I have a knee length cargo pant that is made from nylon , but cozy enough. I love it right away after I found it in Sport Expert for discount price. It has woman shape and mess fabric inside the pockets which act as ventilation. Very functional, just what cloth should be. A couple of pockets also always make me grateful.

Oh, not to forget one of the colorful set socks that I found at C&A. I bought 2 sets, one in pastel colors and one set dark deep colors. I was so glad I bought them. I chose the minty pairs for this time.

Murmel love to wear pockets too. Kind of photographer, fishing or parking man vest. Something he has been non stop wearing since he found it at thrift store. He asked the repair man to cover some broken parts with denim. All tools from handy, keys, and E-reader fit in it!

On the end of the path in the woods we stopped by at a hut and ate poppy seed cake. Delicious!

I wore the cheapy cheapy gummy ring with smiley cartoon...a tiny whimsy with matching color :)

As soon I got home I put off my shoes and wore yellow summer sandals.

And enjoyed the beautiful summer sunset trough my window in blue, orange and yellow...

Smock top: brand unknown - thrift store

Trekking nylon pant: Icepeak via Sport Expert

Leather shoes: Micelino via Mirota kampus Dept. Store, Jogja, Indonesia

Hat: OXA Triset

Yellow ethno sandals: brand flipped off but it's like new - Naschmarkt Vienna fleamarket - 50 cent!

Socks: C&A Triset

Backpack: brought in Khaosan, Bangkok, Thailand.

Walking sticks: Power Walking

Ring: no idea:)

Have a wonderful week!

Pastel Blue Smock 1 - To Cafe and Shops

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 10:31:40 PDT

I wore this outfit to go to cafe for hot chocolate, chocolate croissant and internet. The summer had chilly breeze, nice day for playing with layers. I combined a pastel blue smock hem blousy t-shirt with my military jacket/blazer as you could see in my winter outfit here and ethno vibe big scarf. I like how the two different style and shape went together. Smock details reminds me of dresses I used to wear as a little girl.

The hot chocolate came with a choco heart on it!

As you may have noticed, I used my scarf as cover for my netbook as it was a little raining.

Then we went to our daily shopping. I change my shoes with tasseled vintage loafers.

Brown all over.

Next I will show you how I wore the pastel blue smock top with different combination for nordic walking activity.

I wish you comfortable in a warm lovely place:)

Military Jacket : H&M - wool blend

Jeans: Nevada via Matahari Dept. Store - Malioboro Mall - Jogja Indonesia

Flexible Outfit Mix - Hoss Intropia Sweepstakes

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 10:37:09 PDT

I just discovered Hoss Intropia shop when I visited Bloglovin' and saw the sweepstake they have together in collaboration. You could win the 5 items outfit you choose. I was interested to participate honestly because of the word "intropia" and pic of its ad banner seemed to be one rhythm with my personal sense. So I headed to the shop and I was right! I was at first impressed by the description of "intropia" about dream coming true and woman personality and right away i had been browsing to their products. They have beautiful pieces with special details like embroidery, playing with cut or silhouettes, strong statement for your look.

Here take a look at 5 items I have picked, but..before..let me explain to you that my concept is items to be flexibly combined for varies event or activities. From hangout in the day to evening formal party. I mix special and basic elements, different fabrics like lace, silk, embroidery, denim, leather, shiny, and matte, watercolor and neutral colors. Oh I love to play with them, such fun!

Embroidered Lace Tunic in Aloe color here

Boxy fit biker jacket in nude color here

Skinny Jeans in White Color here

Glitter Ankle Boot here
Crystal Embellished Design Headband here

The dress is something special, elegant, silk and lace, that you can wear for dressy event like a wedding party for example. It consists of 3 pieces. I thought that I could wear only the inner dress for more simple look and casual. I can use the belt also as a scarf on my neck or bag. I imagine walking under the subtle sunlight shining trough the lace fabric that blow lightly by wind.
Boxy biker jacket for chilly breeze. My idea is playing layers with texture and length. Let the embroidered lace flair out from the front opening and bottom of the jacket's sleeves, maybe open the sleeves zippers. Or just keep the lace rope for evening party.
White skinny jeans, give casual look for hang out, without looking bulky.
The glitter ankle boot! What can I say..just imagining to complete the outfit with, I had been excited. Perhaps changing it with dressy pump for more formal party.
Crystal Embellished Design Headband for completing the whole look, especially for more formal event on a hair with pretty vintage lady bun. I think necklace would just make the look too crowded and mess up the beautiful embroidery.

So that's it, I hope you could imagine the look. What do you think?

Then I Wear The Pink Paisley to Hike to a Castle

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 10:32:56 PDT

And then I wore the pink paisley to hike to a castle and passing a little path full with bushes, snails and Holunderblüten ( Elder Flowers ) ...

I wore all pastel pink and my husband wore his Tosca mint summer jacket

Trekking pant: Michel Klein via Thrift Store

Backpack: bought in Khao San Bangkok Thailand

Pink Paisley + Skirty Pant

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 10:33:38 PDT

Let me take you back to Austria. I think that day I was a little bit of Mori girl. We walked trough the woods to reach our fave cafe for our latte macchiato and hot chocolate, regular newspapers and mags reading, It was sunny summer but chilly wind, so i covered up my self with long sleeve (the cotton fabric had texture like sporty polo shirt, absorbed sweat without making clumsy feeling ), long wide skirty pant that was flair down to my ankle, socks, flats (not my all terrain bulky man shoes like usual), Kipling backpack, bringing a scarf which was ready to wear, and ready to be used for a photo pose like the last photo below!

If i remember paisley, i remember my mother who loves this pattern so much. Cheering up summer with paisley curls like the leaves and touch of ethno. I wonder is that any special meaning behind paisley pattern?

Paisley t-shirt, skirty wide pant: (old, no brand). Backpack: Kipling (old). Socks: C&A (colors set, sales, so cheap!). Flat shoes: Cube, Scarf: bought in shopping centre in Jogja.

My skirty pant had accompanied me during my travel in Thailand and Penang, Malaysia. It had cut on each side that i could make big knots out of them, turned it into balloon pant. Something suited for South East Asia trip, but here, trough the woods to cafe in town without problem as well.

Wish you all lovely weather!

Retro Origamic

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 10:35:34 PDT

We stayed the few last days in Jogja in a guesthouse, economy class room with a public living room.

Despite the bathroom cleaness, let me take you to our living room's retro charm that begs me for mercy for it's broken and dirty pieces.Retro chairs with plaid and flowers pattern, a plastic tea pot and landscape painting in a way fit my mood at that moment, when I wear red-white stripes t-shirt and a flare skirt in a origamic shape, plus I made a skinny bun on my head. My tee was so comfortable and light and my skirt, it was middle length but so wide that I could jump on a bike but i have to be carefull as it was almost broken because it was hooked on the bike. I found it in a thrift store in Jogja and had worn it during my travel in Jogja, Bali and Singapore as you will see in my future posts with different combination.

I brought a ton of my old clothes from my hometown that was no way to bring my old shoes. My ethno sandals had been broken there so I just took this converse flipflops as it's raining season, and had to wear it when i went bath and anywhere. So if you think the blue flipflop didn't match, just could you please ignore them:).

I hope you have nice weekend wherever you are!

Sunny Tee

noreply@blogger.com (chachamisu) — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 10:31:40 PDT

The days in Jogja were sunny and hot for few days then raining very hard on the other few days. A bright yellow tee with orange sunny graphic on it was my choice for this weather that just exactly similar to the weather changing of my mood. Thankyou to my sis for giving me the tee.

I just altered my gray trouser, changed its shape into a pencil pant..that's how they call it. I mean they...were the jeans etc repair places those were spreaded along the road near my house. But you can actually repair, alter or even make new clothes there with your very own design.

And no, it was not too hot for me in this tropical and humid climate. I even wore my jacket to avoid sunburn. Perhaps my body still remembers the adjust setting as it's my hometown!

Tshirt: Zara TRF collection (out)
Trouser: Ramayana Dept. store Jogja
Jacket: Biaggini, www.charles-voegele.com
