Fuchsia Riverstone

Hijabi Fashion Week Nov 2011 - Day 6
Theme: Date with Hubby

What color is Fuchsia?

The hot Pink-Purple color is called Fuchsia. On the purple side of pink, fuchsia is another name for magenta... and here is myself sporting my new favorite scarf, Fuchsia Riverstone Batik Scarf, for my "a week late" Hijabi Fashion Week - Day 6's Look: going date with hubby.. ;)

The scarf was made by a handmade-weaving technique with cute fuchsia riverstones motifs on it. The color gave a sense of romantic; the materials and the motifs gave a sense of ethnic yet fashionable and edgy.

Outfits:

Scarf by Ina'sScarf: Riverstone motifs, handmade woven made in Indonesia by the local craftmen. I am proud wearing this scarf.. :)
An ethnic necklace from Kalimantan worn as a bracelet.
Wedges with hexagonal motifs; The motifs look like Phyton-skin motifs.

Vacation Look

Hijabi Fashion Week Nov 2011 - Day 4
Theme: Vacation/Destination

If... I could go to anywhere in the world for a vacation or as an ideal destination that I'd love to be in, I would go to Europe and New Zealand.

WHY?!

Because... those countries are like fairy tales for me who was born and live in tropical country. I want to experience the difference.. Feel the different nature, weather, and culture. Also, I want to feel how it likes to be in the 'four seasons' countries. I want to see their beautiful nature-scenery and the magnificent old buildings they have. I want to taste the dishes and the local fruits... Watch the people and their street styles.

And, if I arrive during Winter, I would love to see and play with the snow.. Ohh.. and there's one more thing that can't be more exciting, is that I could be creative with my outfits using all the layering stuffs! ;)

Here is the outfit I would wear to reach my dreamed destination:

With the sunglasses and a light-weight maxi dress I worn, surely I should go in Spring/Summer time of those countries :)

Breaking the Rules: Checkered with checkered

Hijabi Fashion Week Nov 2011 - Day 3
Theme: Break the Rules

Usually, in daily life, I do not wear an outfit with "too much" motifs or prints, especially if the outfit also be in various colors.

Today, for Hijabi Fashion Week's Break the Rules theme, I broke up my own fashion rule.. :) I tried to pair check pattern with check pattern in several different colors... thing that I've never done before.

Here is the picture of the outfit.. I was sporting two-toned checkered blazer (red-white and black-white check pattern), with checkered vintage minidress in dark blue and black:

Outfit:
Blazer by Philip, Yogyakarta.

What did you think of this?
Did I succeed breaking the rule stylishly? Or, did I ruin the outfit?... hahhaha.. :D
(ohh.. I forgot to mention that this didn't include the mask I held... :o)

Random Inspiration

Things that inspire me

Business and Achievement:

Start now! Simply with your BIG idea!

Life:
Quotation from Bukik.com while interviewing Aulia Halimatussadiah a.k.a. Ollie, the founder of NulisBuku.com, and the author of Salsabeela.com:

I want to live life to the fullest. Enjoy every moment. Be in the moment.

“Saya adalah orang yang saya putuskan saat ini”. (My translation: "I am is what I decided to be").

Bahwa kehidupan menawarkan beragam petualangan tapi pada akhirnya sikap dan keputusan kita yang menentukan siapa diri kita. Setiap kejadian hidup akan menawarkan pilihan, dan kitalah yang menentukan pilihan akhir cerita hidup kita.

Parenting:
Because I am a mother of two boys, I always love reading about parenting issue. An article by Hanzky on MommiesDaily.com reminds us about one of the most important things we should do as a parent:

Have You Been Listening with Your Eyes?

——

A little girl came home from school with a drawing she’d made in class. She danced into the kitchen, where her mother was preparing dinner.

“Mom, guess what?”, she squealed, waving the drawing.
Her mother never looked up.
“What?”, She said, tending to the pots.
“Guess what?” The child repeated, waving the drawing.
“What?” the mother said, tending to the plates.
“Mom, you’re not listening”
“Sweetie, yes I am”
“Mom”, the child said. “You’re not listening with your eyes”.

—

Don’t we hate it when we talk to someone and his/her eyes are not looking at us? We hate it because makes us feel ignored and less valuable.
