A Day at Work

Dear All,

Welcome to my new blog post after quite a while. This post will take you along with me at work ;)

Before that I will tell you that I have been now for more than 6 months working for PT MAP. MAP is a retail company that imported loads of fashion brands, food, and other products to Indonesia. Some brands that you may be familiar of are probably: ZARA (Inditex group), MaxMara, DKNY, Topshop. As for food, MAP did brought in Starbucks, Burger King (praise be Lord), and many others.

My profession is Visual Merchandiser for 'Forever New'. This brand is originated from where Koalas are, Australia. In Jakarta, Indonesia, Forever New stores are located at Kota Kasablanka and Kemang Village.

So here are some snaps that I have been accumulated while I was at work:

As a Visual Merchandiser, I am required to arrange Window Display, Floor layout as well as other 3-dimensional displays to maximise sales.

It is quite fun really! I get to dress the mannequins and style their hair... This is not standard Forever New hairstyle, but it suits this girl for that time, so I guess it is fine.

Floor layout and wall display here. I have to ensure they have the balance in colors and weight (cannot be too heavy at one side or too dark).

Me dressing up the Torso, blurry but I really like it.

Me having fun with reflections and stuff.

There are many great things that I came to learn while being a VM. It is so much fun and tiring at the same time. There are some perks too, like trying out items that are not out yet, also I get employee discount 25% off for most of MAP products.

Cheers everyone!

Porter House Weekend

Hi everyone, how are you all doing?

It seems that I have adjusted well with my work schedule because now I am willing to go out during weekend rather than convincing myself that I need to rest whenever possible, by being a potato couch. So, this is a place where loads of people go to in PIK, a restaurant called Porter House. Great food really, I tried the carbonara, satisfying!

With my vintage craze, I am over the moon when I found this authentic home vintage. This pouch- satchel used to belong to my mom but she cannot recall which year it was from. I am guessing around late 70s. The smell of old leather is... weirdly entertaining for me, because it reminded me of my London visit. 

My babes that I adore, floral Dr. Martens.

Say Hi to my dear friend Cherry, she has a cool blog check it out: weirdandwicked.blogspot.com

Too Formal for Casual

Hi everyone. I may have failed to mention on my last post about the late posts for these last 3 months, it is because of my new job, I started as a visual merchandiser since October, hence I need to adjust the habit to snap pictures for blogging more often. 

So, it has been a funny situation here in Jakarta. Flooding started 2 days ago, because of all the raining. My neighborhood is not so lucky too, but at least the water did not enter my house. These pictures were taken last week, when there was still more sunshine. I have to thank my very good friend Yonni for these pictures.

I have always wanted to try this hairstyle called waterfall braid. It is unfortunate that my hair is now black therefore you cannot really see the braiding.

Rusty Halo

Season Greetings! Merry Christmas everyone... This post today is not exactly relating to Christmas theme, it was roughly inspired by Castiel (an angel) from Supernatural, that show that I was quite obsessed to. Anyone who watched the show will immediately understand the relation of trench coat, and an angel ;)

Summertime Sadness

It was not a very cheerful Friday. In addition to that listening to Lana Del Rey definitely did not help cheering one up. This is a semi-casual post look of me, very simple just with a shirt and skinny jeans.

I like how the ray of light peeped through the door like that.

Featuring my vintage Chloé suitcase again. What can I do I love that bag.

And.. My hair was braided.

What I wore: 

Shirt: Zara

Skinny Jeans: Topshop

The "Social" Gathering

Greetings! First and foremost I would like to say happy birthday again to my friend and fellow blogger Cherry! 

So this is her, check out her cool blog: weirdandwicked.blogspot.com

She treat us for dinner at 'Mad for Garlic' and then we took off to Social House, hence the title. But, alas that 'social' spot was full and we took off again somewhere else.

Personally I like the decor of Social House, it is rustic with hints of vintage.

And, this is me.

Introducing my new baby, from Hush Puppies X Anna Sui collection! I love the combination of oxford shoes and striped wedges...

What I wore:

Top: Vivienne Westwood

Skirt: Zara

Bag: Michael Graves

Euphoric Floral

Hello beautiful people! Welcome to this floral entry. 

Few days after returning from my Hongkong-Macau trip. Me and my fellow blogger, Cherry and also my other friend Yonni visited a restaurant at the seaside in Jakarta. 

Introducing vintage 1960s Chloé! My proud possession.

The vintage Chloe and Leather Satchel of my friend, Yonni.

New shoes I bought. Transparent plexiglas as heels balanced the girly aura of these babies.

Just a blooper picture that I like- Me, Cherry and Yonni
