Bali Trip with Veet Indonesia


Ah, this one should be posted in July. But you know, everyone's been busy with work, business and stuff, then the hobby got neglected for a while, but here we go. So me and my friend went for a Bali trip as we won a #VeetCation contest, held by Veet Indonesia. We didn't actually explore the nature part due to the limited time we had, but we did cafe hopping. How typically hipster, I know. 


About this look, I got my mom sew our orange floral scarf from Stradivarius to be two pieces of tops. One is a little bit longer that I could wear it as a mini dress, and the other one be like this, more like an off shoulder top. Oh, how I like to turn fashion items into something newer and fun! Been so lucky that my mom shares the same interest! For the skirt, I completed the look with a uniquely cross-stitched long skirt from Thailand.

Back to the #VeetCation event. On the second day we had a Treasure Hunt games at Pirate Bay, right in front of Nusa Dua Beach.


In the evening, we managed to have a dinner with the lovely Julie Estelle and have some chit-chat on her passion in the Indonesian entertainment and movie industry. To be honest, she was so nice, friendly, and inspiring! Thanks for the exciting experience in Bali, Veet Indonesia!

DIY Patched Leather Jacket

How terrible it is to witness your swag buddy, the faux leather jacket peeling by itself, slowly dying and being useless?  Moreover it is not reinforced with natural fibers like cotton, it would crack even when it is not exposed to the sun. Had been abandoned such poor thing in the closet for almost a year but I don't want its life to end too soon. No idea what to do. Low maintenance since its beginning, got abandoned for more years, oh how sad it looked.
 Then came the embroidered leather jacket into style, made me think to use some pretty embroidered patches to cover those huge cracks all over the jacket. Without taking too much time, a bunch of badass woven badges caught my attention in a craft shop and I automatically aimed to cover those irritating defects on my old jacket  using them. Wooo it's gonna look even more interesting! 
My neighbor The Cat, tried to steal my attention when starting to focus on my DIY Project of the day.

Tacky much? That's your business.

Tint Thrills


Waking up in the morning was much easier to find that I'd be going to create my very own refreshingly colorful oasis with the bright boho palette. The bright colors, bold texture, and interesting patterns that I love so much I'll stick with it forever. Both clothing items on the look were actually skirts. The blue one got refashioned as a tube dress and the outer I got from Shop Therapy. The little plaited pom pom headband was there to enrich the look which was once a belt. How bohemianly lucky!

Toys' Day Out


White shoes are definitely timeless and you can dress them up with whatever you like endlessly. But when it comes to me sometimes I need something to add to the plainness. This time I got my white Vans glued tight to some company, yeah Bert and Ernie! Fun enough to be my wingmen to stroll around the city of Belitung!


Here are the easy steps, also changed the shoelaces to make it look more festive.
