About Hachi

Hi Everyone!

Today I would like to introduce y'all to by beloved dog, named Hachi. His name is not exactly inspired by the famous dog Hachiko, I think. My little brother named him Hachi because: Hachi's grandma's name is Yuki, and Hachi's mom's name is Mochi and thus "Hachi" sort of rhymes with it. And I think most of people know that Hachi means 8 in Japanese, although it kind of means sneezing in Indonesian. 

Hachi here is a Bichon Frise.

He is a very cheerful, lazy dog.

This is Hachi with a cute suit! And the suit is red of course because it was Chinese New Year when he wore this.

Adidog is what was written on that jersey ;)

So this is me taking him to a dog gathering in Central Park, NOT the one in New York.

He was certainly glad to explore.

But, because he is a lazy dog it wasn't long till he grew tired and started lying down that way. That is my friend Lisa with her lovely puppy named Milo ( Milo is a mix breed of Mini Pincer and Cihuahua).

Hachi is probably the best fluffy thing that has ever been mine :)

I was wearing a custom made vintage reproduction dress from hellopupu.com

You should totally check hellopupu out because she (the owner) is really nice and she has amazing collections of vintage reproduction dresses ;)

Cheers everyone and see you till the next post!

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

Shirt Dress: Uniqlo- Cath Kidston charity project edition

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

Shoes: Charles & Keith

Suitcase: Vintage 1960s Chloé

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...
