THE BRIDESMAID'S DRESS BY TBDRESS

At the end of the year, there are a lot of wedding receptions in my country. Everyone just suddenly gets married even in his/her early age. Some of my acquaintances at college just hold their wedding after the graduation. I can’t deny that I have a lot of reception to be attended. Hehehe :p

I always pay attention not only to what the bride and groom wear in the wedding reception but also the bridesmaid and groomsman's outfit. They have to be stunning (but not more stunning than the bride or the groom, of course). Talking about the bridesmaid, they shall look pretty in a bridesmaid’s dress. If you are going to prepare the bridesmaid’s dress for your friend's wedding, lucky you because I have some options for you to choose.

Elegant and vintage are the common theme for most people’s wedding. I will pick my favorites from TBdress. These dresses are relatively inexpensive, very gorgeous, and not so fussy to wear. Do you believe me?

Long dress always steals the wedding’s attention. The white one-shoulder A-line flowers beading is very modern and fit for the bridesmaid. Bored with white color? Try the Ruched Bowknot Trumpet Mermaid V-Neck Floor-Length in brave maroon or the Chic Draped A-Line Strapless dress in pastel (peach) instead.

The Ruched Flowers Sheath Strapless Knee-Length Dress (left) and the Flowers A-line Empire Waist Strapless dress (right) above are simple yet have unique designs. In addition, those dresses have amazing flower embellishments which look so sweet and elegant. Every girl likes flower in a dress, by the way.

Bold color is a brave fashion statement. I like the way of TBdress’ dress collection. Both of blue and turquoise dresses look a like candy’s wraps, right?

Black dress is always classic and up to date at the same time. Wearing black dress can’t go wrong. Don’t you agree? Just choose the ruffle dress and the drape beading A-line black dress. For more elegant bridesmaid dresses, you can click the link here http://www.tbdress.com/Cheap-Inexpensive-Bridesmaid-Dresses-6392/.

Do not forget to match the bridesmaid dress with the wedding theme, okay? If you want to look for a gorgeous wedding dress for the bride or other vintage bridesmaid dress, please click here http://www.tbdress.com/Cheap-Vintage-Wedding-Dresses-5475/.

I think you can wear the bridesmaid dress above to go to other occasion such as your birthday party or prom night. You just have to change the styling. See ya! :)

Tetap Stylish di Kala Musim Hujan

Tetap Stylish di Kala Musim Hujan - Suasana terik dan hawa panas berganti dengan musim hujan yang memang melanda di negri kita ini sekarang. Menyenangkan sekaligus merepotkan sebab kemana-mana harus siap sedia payung atau jas hujan. Apalagi jika hujan sudah turun setiap hari, sehingga seringkali berbasah-basah ria saat menuju ke kantor maupun saat melakukan aktivitas di luar ruangan mau tidak mau harus dijalani.

Oleh karena itu, memilih jenis dan model pakaian perlu diperhatikan agar Anda tetap hangat agar tetap stylish di kala musim hujan ini. Selain itu seringkali baju, celana, dan sepatu pasti jadi korban, selalu basah dan kotor. Penampilan pun seringkali terkesan berantakan dan seadanya. Saatnya menyimpan pakaian dengan bahan ringan seperti sifon dan sepatu berbahan suede

Apa saja yang harus diperhatikan agar tetap tampil stylish dengan hijab?

Blazer Dan Coat

Milikilah blazer atau coat selama musim hujan. Selain membuat Anda lebih hangat, juga bisa membuat penampilan Anda lebih rapi. Bila Anda ingin terlihat lebih berwibawa, Anda bisa menggunakan blazer atau coat dengan garis pundak yang tegas. Bila Anda ingin gaya yang lebih santai, sweater oversize atau cardigan biasa dan cardigan batwing bisa jadi pilihan penampilan yang lebih kalem dan hangat.. Pilih warna-warni yang kalem agar Anda ikut bersemangat dan tetap ceria, namun warnanya tak terlalu mencolok.

Warna

Hindari pakaian berwarna putih, sebab noda akibat lumpur akan sangat jelas terlihat. Untuk bawahan, baik rok atau celana, pilihan warna gelap adalah yang terbaik. Selain menutupi kotor, warna gelap tidak terlihat transparan manakala basah oleh air. Atasan boleh dipilih yang sedikit berwarna untuk mengusir perasaan gloomy akibat cuaca yang selalu mendung, misalnya warna biru, hijau, pink, kuning lemon dan turquoise. Pakaian yang memiliki warna terang bisa membuat Anda lebih semangat dan memancarkan rona yang lebih cerah pada wajah Anda.

Untuk bahannya sebaiknya pakai katun, poly-nylon, sutra yang sedikit tebal. Hindari bahan terlalu tipis karena bisa membuat tembus pandang, sementara lycra akan melekat di badan ketika basah dan membuat lembab dan gerah.

Tas

Pilih tas yang tahan air  meskipun Anda memakai payung, tetesan air hujan akan mengenai tas yang Anda sandang di bahu. Sebagai pencegahan, gunakan tas dari bahan patent leather atau bahan sintetis tahan air yang bisa dengan mudah dikeringkan dengan lap saja. Pilih tas dengan resleting tertutup untuk menghindari kemungkinan air masuk dan membasahi perlengkapan yang Anda bawa.

Rok Panjang

Jangan gunakan rok yang mengembang. Selain akan terasa berat ketika basah, rok seperti itu akan mudah tertiup angin. Saat turun hujan sebaiknya Anda menggunakan rok yang pas di badan dengan warna-warna netral seperti cokelat, hitam navy dan warna lainnya. Hindari warna terang seperti putih dan krem karena bila ada bercak, akan mudah  terlihat.

Untuk Yang Bercelana

Gunakan celana dengan warna basic dari bahan yang hangat. Misalnya celana kain stretch yang kadang bahannya lebih tebal. Usahakan jangan sampai lebih dari mata kaki sebab akan terseret-seret ketika berjalan. Akibatnya bagian bawah celana akan basah dan kotor

Top Two Pieces

Anda juga bisa menggunakan  pakaian dua lapis. Selain lebih hangat, Anda juga bisa mix and match dengan berbagai macam outer. Misalnya jaket jeans atau blazer. Anda bisa menggunakan kemeja hingga kaos santai untuk bagian dalam. Atau, Anda bisa menggunakan kemeja dengan luaran berupa rompi untuk gaya yang lebih dinamis.

Hijab

Pilihlah hijab dari bahan yang hangat. Bila perlu, Anda bisa menggunakan inner hijab ninja yang akan menghangatkan bagian leher. Gunakan hijab dengan model yang lebih panjang sehingga bisa membuat Anda lebih hangat. Bahan hijab yang hangat misalnya dari bahan viscose atau rayon.

Shoes

Jika Anda termasuk sering beraktifitas di luar ruangan, hindari menggunakan stiletto atau sepatu berhak tinggi, ataupum sneaker terutama yang berbahan kulit, beludru, suede atau bahan kain lainnya begitu juga dengan sepatu sneaker atau sepatu berbahan suede yang Anda miliki. Sekarang, coba gunakan sepatu dengan bahan kulit atau  rubber yang nyaman. Anda juga bisa menggunakan sepatu low heels, boots,ankle boots  atau alas kaki berbahan plastic  karet seperti jelly shoes yang sedang ‘in’

Thank you Fahmy!!!

The huge rain just dropped by. Here I am sitting in front of my computer and drinking my instant coffee. I just think why my internet connection runs so slow, like often. I called the provider to fix it and the crew came to my house few times but the connection still sucks.

Just random thoughts accross my minds.

Well, I have an uncertain length of holiday this time. Nevertheless, I keep myself busy and do things I love then. I had many good chances beforehand, the chances I've dreamed about to do the stuff that I think I'm gonna like. But, I just wasted them away. Just like that. 

I don't know the particular reason why I did that. There's a lot to be considered with. But I still have an optimist mind. I believe that the opportunity I seek will appear so soon.

I decide to have a rest a little while. I often feel so burdened and think I can't walk any further. I realize that I already run so far yet not so quick. I can say that I'm in the progress in regaining my fire back. I wish it will be worthy at the end.

            In the meanwhile of “meditating”, I do many things (I like) such as drawing, painting, making illustration, etc. It helps a lot and makes a positive thinking. Besides, I’m surrounded by good people supporting me as well. Thank God.

JFW 2014 - APPMI PART 2

The APPMI's post is not over yet. This is my another favorite collection.

AGNES BUDHISURYA

The feminine oriental look has mesmerized me. The pretty gradation color does speak a loud.

GREGORIUS VICI

Gregorious Vici brings us back to the old European trend. He combines the pale color with black in his wide skirt. The leaves embellishment is so amazing. The overused of accessories and huge headpieces doesn't look too much, I think, because it fits the total look well.

JFW 2014 - READY TO WEAR BY MY PICK

Today, I bring you to some of the hottest RTW items in Jakarta Fashion Week 2014, from the monochrome-colored until the sparkling colorful fashion. I collage my favorites which are made by the Indonesian talented designers, such as August Soesastro, Friederich Herman, Billy Tjong, Jeffry Tan, Yosafat Kurniawan, Major Minor, Toton, and Dian Pelangi. Enjoy!!

AUGUSTE SOESASTRO

Clean and simple cut is always up-to-date. August makes his woman become more mature.

JEFFRY TAN

The black edgy jacket with geometric fish scale paneling below... I love!

YOSAFAT DWI KURNIAWAN

The monochrome shades becomes more interesting and different by adding the gold spikes accent which is very smart.

FRIEDERICH HERMAN

I've never thought that the cutting of blazer can be this fun and unusual. Friederich Herman keeps his design edgy and bold and says that a woman look should be strong and cool. I love the asymmetry cutting inside the leather jacket worn by Hege Wollan!!

BILLY TJONG

Playing with the digital printing is always fun, isn't it? Billy Tjong prints his design in his latest dress and bags. In addition, he also has another printing, which I prefer to, such as the nature scenery which is very cool. But, I think the wig doesn't look as natural as the printing. It would be better a ponytail or something else natural.

MAJOR MINOR

Ah, what can I say? If I were Rachel Zoe, I would say, "This colorful jungle print?? I die. This is Bananas!!" This "Wanderlust" collection is made by the team consisting of  Ari Seputra, Ambar Pratiwi, and Inneke Margarethe. I love the jungle-printed top with neon accent. It is so fashion-forward.

TOTON JANUAR

This collection as you can see, is about ocean life. It is so colorful but not shocking. It has artsy details in a very wearable outfit! I feel the ocean wave when I see the cutting of the collection. Don't you feel the same?

DIAN PELANGI

The hijab designer who is also known by her colorful design is showing off her talent again at JFW 2014. She brings the attendance of colorful umbrella along the show. I like the colorful beads embellishment that gives a fun and chic look at the same time.
