As promised
in my previous OOTD post, here’s my first fashion styling collaboration with
other bloggers in town: Mindy and Redha!
Hola, Angels!
How’s your
Monday going? Is it light blue, bright as the sky or maybe…as dark as the sea? 👀✌
If you’re a
follower of mine on Instagram (if not, WHY NOT, follow now @deuxcarls!) perhaps
you’ve seen some photos that I post here already. Two weeks ago, I went to La
Freya Patisserie in West Surabaya to join Ce Mindy and the other Aphrodites
members to have a photo shoot session there.
Hello Girls!
Last
Wednesday (26/07), I was invited by Clariskin – through Ce Mindy & Womanblitz – for their Beauti (phi) losophy event at Four Points Sheraton Surabaya. For those who
haven’t known about Clariskin yet, it’s one of the newest and on-hype aesthetic
beauty clinic in Surabaya. In this event, they were also accompanied by two
gorgeous local designers: Nancy Warren and Fonny Tunggal – which had a fashion
show for their pret-a-porter and even couture collection!
Hello!
Another
random outfit of the day post from me. Who’s excited? Me!
This look is
so simple, but I do think it’s cute and chic enough to be featured in my blog. Lately
I’ve been attending events again, back to the real blogger life eh? I totally
miss that life, meeting new people, chit-chatting, but one thing for sure that I
hate the most from an event is…the dress code rule. Bah.
Especially
when the last two events I attended, asked for white dress code. I literally went to Zara FOUR TIMES last week, and carefully browsed every
Zara store in Surabaya just to find the perfect white clothes. Not to mention
the online stores & thrift ones as well…but I found nothing that suited my liking. White is not my thing, as I naturally
gravitate to black stuff whenever browsing in stores. So now you know how much
I struggle to find white pieces that I really like. Whites in my closet are
mostly basic shirts, slim-fit, super sleek – for work/business presentation
purposes.
As you
probably notice, my style is rather cute and simple. Picking trendy items like
culottes and robes are totally impossible for me. Those are things I honestly think
awesome, but I won’t even consider them as a choice for myself. It’s just not
me. Then I came to think about wearing one of those sleek white shirts for this
event. Why not going all white, looking professional and chic at the same time?
After all, I just found a cute pre-loved H&M shorts with nice crochet detail
in Carousell. After putting all the items together in my Polyvore app, I was
happy with the mood board and went with it.

Hello Girls!
Today I’ll be
doing this post in Bahasa instead. Yup, selain karena ini adalah produk lokal
asli Indonesia, aku juga sudah lama sekali ya nggak tulis blog post pakai Bahasa. Jadi untuk memudahkan pembaca aku yang dari
Indonesia untuk terhubung denganku lagi setelah sekian lama 😊
Jadi beberapa
bulan lalu, aku sudah mendengar kabar kalau Purbasari Indonesia akan
mengeluarkan matte lip cream pertama
mereka. Jujur, siapa saja pasti excited karena
merek ini terkenal dengan lipstik matte-nya
juga, kan? Ketika ada seorang member dari Surabaya Beauty Blogger memasukkan screenshot dari salah satu unggahan
Purbasari Indonesia di Instagram-nya kedalam grup, tentu saja aku termasuk
salah satu diantara blogger yang langsung meluncur ke TKP dan mendaftar. Semoga
bisa kepilih! Finally, I got chosen by
their team to be reviewing this product for my readers. Yay!
Hello Angels!
June is my favorite
because it’s my birthday month *ahem* also, it always means holiday for students.
I was lucky to be able to travel to Malaysia just a few days after my birthday,
because it totally sucked to stay in town during long Eid Mubarak Holiday – every
store, restaurant, even warung is
going to CLOSE for the whole week and my family wouldn’t wanna die of
starvation hehe. And why Malaysia? Because even though it’s also a Moslem
country like in here, their national public holiday only lasted for two days
of Hari Raya only and after that, every business was going to be back normal
again. I am now thinking of moving there because IMHO it’s far better than my
own country now. Sigh.
That’s only the first
reason and not the main one. The ultimate reason of why Malaysia as the
destination is because…

EVERYTHING IN
THERE IS SO DAMN CHEAP SIA.
From makeup to skincare
products, to foods, to clothes… aiya no
compare to what’s in Indonesia la. Things are getting more and more expensive
here especially those brands in mall – be it fast fashion brands or the
designer, higher-end ones. With only $200 per person, my family can eat, sleep,
shop, and travel to every place possible nicely for 6 days – including the accommodation
and flight fare. Crazy, right! And for me, because it’s my birthday month plus
the Eid Mubarak was near (which means A LOT OF DISCOUNTS WILL GOING ON), I
justified myself to shop a little more there. Without further ado, here’s my
massive haul!
