Hello people of Earth!

Sorry for the lack of updates, as everybody can guess I've been busy with work stuff and I've always gotten home quite tired to blog.

Twitter's been a LOT of help though as that's the only way I could catch up with my readers and/or followers.

A lot has happened. Maybe I'll do my (in)famous catch up posts later!

Anyways I'll be leaving for Brisbane, Australia for AMUNC 2009. :D

SUPER excited!

Wish me a safe flight will you?

Anyways highlight of the 3 weeks I haven't blogged was me meeting up with my girls!
I LOVE THEM TO BITS! <3

Shoes.

Written on 5/22/2009 10:36:00 AM by Jasper12.01u

So I have been eyeing shoes for work these few days. As well as pants.

Unfortunately the shoes that I want are incredibly expensive for my budget.
And so I decided to have them custom made.

After I pick up my sisters I'm gonna go to a shoemaker to have these babies done:


Giuseppe Zanotti Platform gladiator sandals

Giuseppe Zanotti Cutout rivet sandals

Balmain Crystal panel sandals

But I'm gonna have to make them all in chunky platform heels just because I wouldn't have it other wise. ;)

Gotta get going. Bye! :) :) :)

The shoemaker was out and I couldn't have the shoes done... But I brought home this very cute vintage-looking dress with gold flower buttons lol. ;)

So it was a HAPPY day! :)

Australian Winterwear.

This July I'm gonna go to Australia to attend AMUNC 2009 hosted by the University of Queensland.


It's gonna be winter there so I'm preparing winter clothings for the occasion.

The thing is I don't really know what type of clothes they do wear in Australia. And though I've searched the net and asked some friends, I'm still not satisfied.

But what I do know is that they're pretty casual down under and that the weather there isn't really very cold. I've read up on the net that winter there is like spring in London. If spring in London is like Autumn in NY, then I really shouldn't dress very heavily.

These are some inspirations, although I doubt very much that I'll be able to dress like them... ;)

Now these are looks that I know I can't pull off... (Not like I can pull off the previous three though LOL.)
But I'd love to fantasize... :P

Of all the coincidence, I just read on Garance Doré:

Girls in Australia, they take on autumn with a philosophy. It never really does get cold anyway. In the boutiques, sweaters mix it up with swimsuits and sandals. They pick out a few warmer pieces from a winter wardrobe but wear them with bare legs and caramel skin.


It’s like it’s make-believe winter, just for fun or something.


I love this interseasonal mix but it totally drives me crazy: I’m so jealous! And here I am, thinking I would come back and find springtime!


Pfff…. Take me back to my Australian autumn!

Lips.

Written on 5/10/2009 12:39:00 PM by Jasper12.01u

I've been wanting to post my outfit for last Thursday. But I never seem to have the chance to.

Anyhow, my lipstick/lipgloss is running out and now I haven't been wearing it to campus and am just saving it for when I go out.

I've looked everywhere in Jakarta's major malls whether they have my lipstick/lipgloss--yes it has that dual quality of being both a lipstick and lipgloss at the same time without being too shiny or glossy like you've eaten something oily.

But alas they don't have it. :'(

It's a Japanese brand, Couleur Inc., and I can only buy it when I go to Singapore during vacations.

But for now I'm just content trying to find its replacement, at least something that has the same bright orangey-red color/tinge to it.

Love their lips! :)

LOL. I'm on a blogroll. Seems kinda ironic because some days ago I didn't have anything to say in my blog, or even to the people around me.

It's crazy how the power of the mind works. And how motivated you are to do something when you're happy.

Anywaaaaaaaayys, I'm not a swimsuit person myself....
No, that's wrong.
Well I do wear swimsuits when I swim, or rather wetsuits, because I don't want to get tanned.
*Btw I've been meaning to post about being tan and its connection to the Indonesian "standard" of beauty.*

But I've been having my eye on these babies!!!



They're available on Bleubird, this vintage shop, but there are three constraints. The first is as I've said, I wouldn't want to get tanned. Second, they're quite expensive when converted into Indonesian rupiahs. And thiiird, they're vintage.

Vintage as defined by Wikipedia:

Vintage clothing is a generic term for new or second hand garments originating from a previous era. The phrase is also used in connection with a retail outlet, e.g. "vintage clothing store." It can also be used as an adjective: "This dress is vintage.

The word vintage is copied from its use in wine terminology, as a more elegant-seeming euphemism for "old" clothes.

The definition alone made me a bit squeamish.
Remember that this is a bathing suit, people.

Which makes it like hitting two birds with one stone...wait. That doesn't seem very logical...

I'm also in love with Mad Foot!

And Gola!

I don't actually know who said the quote that is the title of this post lol. But yeah so I'm feeling better now. I still look like a monster though. :'(


Anywaaaaaaaaayys we're going SHOE SHOPPING todaaay!!! Yay! :D :D :D

That aside, on account of AMUNC (Asia-Pacific Model of United Nations Council), which I'm gonna attend this July in Australia, I've been looking for jackets and coats and such![!!!]

I've still got lots from my days in the States, I know, but I'm a girl! I can't help it! If I could, I'd want to be able to shop for every occasion!

But then again there is this little thing called a budget constraint hehehe...

Anyways here's a list of jackets, bomber jackets to be exact (which I've always loved), that I like but probably won't be able to buy (myself, I mean).

The cheapest one is $195.65 and it's this fabulous DKNY Silk Bomber Jacket.

Here are the rest:


Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti
Cropped Cotton Jacket

Rick Owens
Metallic Finish Bomber

Mulberry
Leather Bomber Jacket
Doma
Washed-Leather Bomber Jacket

And don't you just LOVE it if you can go to the gym wearing these?!

And of course this one!!!
Doma
Leather and Knit Jacket

Don't you just LOVE Doma today?
Doma is also the name for a group of Argentinian street artists. Check them out! ;)

Cutting classes and severing relations.

Written on 4/02/2009 11:06:00 AM by Jasper12.01u

I didn't mean to cut class today. I was gonna attend it but man FEUI (my campus) is CRAZY!

You know why? Because yesterday was the last day of the mid-term exams.
And now campus life's started again as USUAL!!![???]
Unbelievable?! Yes, I know.

Anyways here's how it happened, after salat I went back to sleep. I had planned to wake up at 6AM or maybe 6:30...but instead I woke up at 7:12 hehe.

School started at 8 and no matter what I tried to do, I would never get to school on time.
And so I contented myself with playing tetris on my phone and then making necklaces haha.

I was gonna meet up with my ex today, something I shouldn't have done I know but I just can't help it. But because I didn't go to school today, so I didn't.
I know I have to sort it out, my feelings I mean, and interacting with him would only hinder me from achieving a clear state of mind.

Anyways, I really want to go shopping today! And since I'm free, I begged my mom to go with me on a shopping spree. But she declined.

I was gonna go to my orthodontist to change the rubber in my braces, but I just got word that her husband (my orthodontist's husband) just died. Innalillahi wa innailaihi rojiun. And so now the doctor trip's cancelled.

At any rate, I want paaaaaants!!! Well, rather shorts... And guess what?! I just found some of my old--actually my mom's old acid washed jeans haha! Hooray!!!







BTW, I start Aikido today!!! Can't WAIT!!! :D

P.s. I just found out that the EarthHour link didn't work on my last entry... So sorry...
You could click here to go the site though. :)
