Create Your Own Sole Art

 I love shoes since I was a little kid. The feeling grows stronger when I saw the most stunning shoes – sneakers with fabulous patchworks on them, when I was walking through a shoes shop and I got them finally, luckily. It was so fancy and colorful that I couldn’t stop staring at. I wondered how a person had an idea to create such a wonderful pair of sneakers.

These are few sneakers that I created a few years ago in high school. A few unused fabrics were sewed on them, then voilà! Seems childish but I don’t really care about how it seems because the only matter is that I can pour my idea onto shoes, especially the boring old shoes and I’m content. I have admiration on how Christian Loubutin constantly innovating in designing amazing heels, even sneakers. So, don’t immediately throw your old shoes away, if they can still be used just because you bored of them. Otherwise, you can recreate them and turn them into a brand new looking shoes just after some magic poured from your heart and mind!

If You Were A Library Book, I Would Never Bring You Back

Attracted to these shoes by Nolly Arfiandi from the very first time. I never regret to bring these home because it matches with almost of my outfits, and this time I wear it with my old orange pants and floral shirt. The neckerchief instantly makes my look seems like an eccentric scout. But I don't mind and I like it.

Ruffles in The Burnt Prairie

Ruffles all over! What I like from ruffled tops is that they are timeless, give soft and feminine touch without much effort. Here I matched the ruffled tops with a simple white skirt, creating a quite classic style I craved. And I also like how the shoes contrast with the delicate look of ruffles.

The Chapel Where I Prayed For You

 

I have never styled this way before. I have always been pretty consistent with bright colors and different patterns, but this time I want to try something darker and simple. But still, my personality comes out from the scarf I wore.

Fashion is You 2nd Edition

Le Peinture Bizarre

Thrilled to strut our styles on the catwalk, the biggest fashion show in Indonesia of this year held by Galeries Lafayette Jakarta, October 26th 2013. Three categories were chosen; Mixology, Smokey Rock and Cocktail Time. At the end, a fancy fashion party had finally sealed the night. 

The outfit I was wearing are my DIY project with my clothes - fringed and doodled, Lady Star chiffon outer, Ariesta Mode black boots. To make it more playful and quirky, I added my DIY vegie necklace and ring, made from fridge magnets right from the kitchen.

Pastel Flowers

Flower power from my wardrobe regardless of the autumn season! I mixed the floral dress with a peach crochet cardigan and pink rose necklace.

Sew it and Eat Sweets

For this post, I was glad that I found a tailor shop in town that suits the outfit. And another pictures were taken at my mom's corner in our house where she used to sew clothes. The preppy look can be achieved by combining the right colors, patterns and accessories. What I like the most from preppy look is its simplicity, classic image yet never go out of style.

Citrus Spirit

The citrus touch of my outfit did give an extra freshness in the ordinary morning. So fresh

 Graetifai citrus glasses tee, Varick & Josh leggins, Lennon glasses, and Yellow Heart wedges were designed by me.

Thirst for Freedom

I would never have put these pieces together like this, but that moment I thought it was kind of cute. To look more casual, all you have to do is roll up the sleeves. 

I paired it with pencil skirt which I thought will be unworn forever, and now this oversized shirt becomes the reason to wear it. Pair of skinny jeans also would be a good match.
