Neutral Handbags

I found these amazing handbags on Etsy shop Valhallabrooklyn. I love the soft colors and the slouchy shapes. And the prices are great too (shown $50 and $199)

My Little Miss Timberlake

My lil' sis just messaged me, and from the way she wrote her words, I can sense that she's missing me soooooo much heheheh.....she's always cute when she's angry, that instead of listening to what she's conveying, I instead smile and thank God for bringing her into my life...I'm sorry, Intan, for not being able to reply to your messages, and when I finally did, it felt a little too late on your side...I don't have any credits at the moment, so I hope this post is enough...whatever is troubling you, be strong and just hang tight...everything will be alright that I promise you...:)

Miss you soo....<3

A Note For The Yucky Man

Quote of The Day

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life."

- Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises from 1959-1994

Sunday Shopping

What do women do soon after they receive their monthly paycheck? Yes, they go shopping...:)

I tried avoiding malls this time cuz I didn't want to get stuck in the Zara-Topshop-Mango mindset, as lately all my clothes seem to be from those 3 brands...so I went to some cheap shops at ITC Kuningan instead, hunting for Japanese or Hongkong unbranded stuffs...:)

This is what I got:

A stripy jersey dress...

...floral maxi dress...

and a colorful ikat-print top/mini dress....:)

(Candy images from here, here and here)

Now this is what I call CHEAP and chic...:)

No Batiks

My mom took me to a batik festival today...it was soooooo crowded that I didn't feel like looking around...and instead of buying batiks like everyone else did, I bought myself a short hehehehe....stupid.

This is what I wore today...


And this is the short I got...;p

From Day To Night

Having fun with my office mates, trying to do the poco-poco dance which I am never good at hehehe....

I Am Miss Selfridge (Not!)

If I must choose between Topshop and Miss Selfridge, without even thinking I can right away answer "Topshop!!". Although Miss Selfridge is as good, I do feel that their collection is somehow too girly for me...I would pick up a dress and say, "Nice...mmmm....", then put it back again hehehe. I've never had any pieces from Miss Selfridge, nor do I have the want to have any. Like the new dresses they have below...they're gorgeous, but they don't trigger the i-must-have-that feeling...

Martin + Osa

Last night Glam and fashion line Martin + Osa hosted a party to preview Martin + Osa's collection. Martin + Osa is a newly launched line by American Eagle Outfitters. Every season Martin + Osa releases new cashmere sweaters in different weights. I especially love the gauzy, feather weight cashmere sweaters they have for the Spring.

My New Favorite Girl

This girl is soooooo cool....still 11 years old, yet she's already able to build a style of her own, and of course, in a suitable way for her age....Lourdes Leon, daughter of the forever-inspiring Madonna...

Sudden Thought

I consider my life as a learning process, and I can proudly say that I've been continuously improving as I get older...it's a good thing...really...:)

Quote of the Day

"It doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn't matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years - we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on."

-Sharon Salzberg-

Happy and Sad Come in a Pair

Lately I've been feeling very empty...I'm out of fresh ideas, I haven't been watching any movies nor download any new songs, I just don't know what to do!! I feel like I'm losing a huge part of myself, probably becoz I don't have anyone to share or hang out with...I really miss my boyfriend, I really miss my lil' sis too... then the number of my best friends in Jakarta are starting to get less and less as most of them are one by one moving out, to another city and even other countries. Gosh. Weekend nowadays means going out with my family, or wandering around the mall all by myself... and that sucks. Dressing up is no more exciting as it used to be, even though I always try to just for the sake of entertaining myself.

Then my job is starting to eat up my time and energy more and more, that I tend to use my spare time for sleeping rather than doing what actually I love most; blogging, browsing, designing...

And so I cried while driving on my way home from Senayan City, alone.

If I always seem to be cheerful and colorful, well, I am happy, basically. But happy people do feel sad sometimes, don't they?

Anyone familiar with Agnis B.?

After work (now doesn't that sound pathetic? Puh-leez...it's Saturday...), I went to a thrift shop at Pasar Festival this afternoon...the shop was very small, but it had quite a lot of items that were very nice and still in mint condition....I actually was interested on the skiing suits they have, but then I thought wearing those for regular occasions would make people think I've gone mad...

This is what I got...(relax, Sharjeel...I only bought one item hehehehhe)....

Aren't they just perfect?? Hhmmm....:)

My wool tunic dress from Topshop...

Busy Bee

I'm so busy I just feel like sleeping directly after I reach home....sorry for the lack of posts...:'(

Pizza Time

My friends invited me for dinner today...but since I was still scared to drive on my own due to the accident last night, I asked my dad to drive me and luckily he understood...:)

As the plan was just to chill at Pizza Marzano, I decided to wear something easy...


And in case you were wondering how i finally took of the security tag from my black & white stripy t-shirt, well, I smashed it to pieces using a hammer hehehehehe....
