SNEAK PEEK: JAPAN

Hello, again! We know, it's been quite a while since our last post. So sorry about being MIA! Our amazing trip to Japan and exams were the root causes to our disappearing act for the past several weeks. We recntly attended the Miss Campus Summit 2013 in Tokyo. We're very excited to share with you our amazing trip and the amazing people we met along the way! We thought it would be fun to post our instagram pics for a sneak peek! Enjoy!

(Full post will be up soon)

MANIKAN: A LOCAL TASTE IN DESIGN

Andddd no I'm most certainly NOT topless. Wearing a tube top for sure. Just wanted to clarify that haha.

Manikan. A local brand that's not afraid to put a modern twist on a traditional design. This Balinese based line of bags uses a fabric called Endek, a traditional Balinese cloth, in every piece they produce. This gives their contemporary bags a light touch of an orthodox taste. It's a lovely match between two worlds. Each bag has it's own hand-picked fabric that gives each piece a distinct character. Manikan is designed and run by a highly talented duo--Galih Hastosa and Parinatra Nugraha. 

 The pictures above are of us for their new ad campaign which we are very excited to share with you all. The bag collection ranges from simple envelope bags, wallets, sling bags, to even satchels. Our favorite would definitely have to be the envelope bags. They're right on trend, and the size is not too big nor too small. We had so much fun on the shoots (there were two), and cannot wait for the next one! One was shot in a small villa around Petitenget, Bali, and the other in a studio. Can you guys tell the difference between us yet? Tell us if you can spot which one is which! :P

Manikan on O'GOBS and dailywhatnot! 

FYI, Some fellow Indonesian bloggers that have already tried the bags are Wynne Prasetyo from Fashion Geek's Closet and even Evita Nuh from The Creme de la Crop! :) 

Please feel free to check out Manikan's twitter: @WeAreManikan, or go to their facebook: www.facebook.com/manikanbali for more info on purchasing details. (We hear there's going to be a huge sale on the 9th of February.)

YIN & YANG

 As we promised, these are more photos and outfits from the Meowchic shoot we recently did! It was so much fun as always and their outfits are chic and classic as usual :) You can check out their website here. 

The first outfit is a Stella silhouette dress in both black and nude. It gives you that interesting neckline, which is great when you want to showcase or highlight your shoulders and arms. What's great about this dress is that there is no need to over accessorize. We paired ours with statement necklaces as you can see and that's basically it to complete the outfit! Will definitely keep these dresses in mind when out to our next party or a night out with friends. 

The second outfit is an obviously more chilled out look, and oh so comfortable! We love walking out the door with jeans and a comfy sweater that will make you both comfortable and looking chic without too much effort. We're wearing the Dolce jewel sweater in both white and soft pink. The detailing on these sweaters is what we love the most! It adds such a feminine feel to it and gives it that little something extra, which is what we always look for in a piece. It's also great if you paired this sweater with long jeans, a full skirt, trousers, a high waist skirt etc., so it goes along well with a lot of other pieces in ones closet. If you wish to order any of these pieces, feel free to visit the website and place your order :) 

We'll post more photos from the shoot soon! 

Here in Indonesia, a four day weekend has commenced (yay!), and it turns out we'll be going back to Bali for the long weekend to spend with our family! We want to wish everyone a happy weekend and to stay fabulous as always!
