Portobello Market

The famous Portobello Market. I love this place. You can find antique stuff and good food. I found a store called the Applebee and it was cute, you know. Sort of like Korean clothing but it's actually a UK brand. Maybe I need to buy some of their stuff.

You may heard the Portobello from the movie Notting Hill starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. What I've read (because I haven't see it...remind me to!) is when Julia Roberts couldn't afford to buy the stuff in one of the shops, Richard Gere bought her the whole things from the shop. Oh God. Need. To. Watch. It. ASAP.

I don't know they sell fake Cambridge Satchels in the market @.@

Lots of crepes sellers, but the best one is not from here.

No outfit picture on that day because I was simply being simple. A pair of jeans, long sleeves, trench coat, and boots. Typical winter costume. See ya later on the next outfit post!

Ciao.

The Cambridge Satchel Company

It's very gloomy and freezing and sleeting and raining here in London. It's quite a depressing mood, you know. It's the time of life when you just want to hide behind your blanket and consume lots and lots of hot chocolate. But anyway, I'm not gonna complain about the weather (even though I want to) but I can't be selfish for this is more like a "fashion" blog, not a "weather forecast" blog.

You guys must have heard about The Cambridge Satchel Company. I've heard about it years and years ago but I think it gets more booming in late 2011 and now. My sister knew about it like approximately the same time as me and she wanted it so bad she finally bought it in one of the stores in Sydney. In yellow. I think I like that color the best because I'm not a big fan of neon colors and the dark colors of Cambridge Satchel is not that eye-catching, you know.

So they have these various range of designs from the classic;

The metallic;

The limited stock;

The fluoro;

The designer;

The batchel;

The music bag;

Actually, the purple is quite nice as well. And their limited stock's colors are pretty too. But, my sister opted for the classic yellow. Anyhoo, I've never try to wear it since I haven't meet her and exchange our bags even though I want to so bad.

It's not too pricey because it's sort of a new-designer, high street kinda company. The bags are around 70

£ - 130£ . It's very popular in the UK. My sister's friend said that there are 10 people in her class wearing this bag. In my year, there are a few, including the tutor. It's also starting to trend in Indonesia because last time I went home I saw this girl wearing the Cambridge Satchel but in light glossy brown. I'm not sure it's the real one or not but you know, Urban Outfitters and Liberty also sell different colors from the website so who knew?

I think it's worth the buy because it looks good and match easily with many outfits, but the opening is kinda hard. Anyway, which one from the pictures above is your favorite?

P.S. I'm such a bag person.

Okay, okay. Once again, my pre sweet seventeenth pictures, which btw, were taken one and a half years ago. Whoa. I'm such a slack. Anyway, I'll just let the pictures do the words. I don't know how that's possible, but I guess that's possible. See ya next time!

Ciao.

P.S. Sorry for too-many pictures ;D

Happy Chinese New Year

I will not post anything red because I don't get to celebrate this year's Chinese New Year with my beloved big family :'( I'm all alone here *pitying myself...not*

Well, my friends and I have dinner plans. One executed already, and the other one is on the CNY day. So that means tonight. We tried to book this really good Chinese restaurant but because we were too late, so we didn't get the table. We secured a table in another restaurant, though. The most important thing is the fact that you get to spend it... with people, even though not family :D

We didn't realize that we have to book a restaurant, you know, we knew CNY is coming, but we didn't like excited about it because the vibe here is just not obvious. The only place where it's celebrated is Chinatown. And Trafalgar Square later on this week.

This is one of my pre-sweet seventeen pictures... Still have some more coming. I intendedly chose this outfit for this post because this is the one that has the Asian vibe. Alright then...

Ciao.

P.S. I wore red for the night before xin jia, but I think I'll wear pink blush for the CNY dinner. Just FYI hehe :)

Rings, Things, and Layers

The weather is really cold, it's impossible for me to wear only two layers. I have at least three layers of clothing when I go out. I don't know how some people managed to go out only with one pair of legging. Or even tights! It's not snowing, though. I'm not sure if I want this winter to snow... because the weather is freezing enough, without the wind. But on the other hand, it'll be kinda cool to snow, making it a white winter or something :)

 valley girl top, zara blazer, unbranded legging and dress as skirt, new look flats, issey miyake bag

new look pale purple bracelet, h&m leather bracelet and rings

Oh, and I can't BELIEVE I lost one of my rings from H&M. It's this 'love-word' ring, it's very comfy to wear you almost not notice you're wearing it... and that's why I lost it :( because I didn't realize it was gone until I watched my bare fingers. This is the second time I lost my accessories here. I never lost mine in Indonesia... oh, except for a Stitch hair clip. That hair clip is so cute I'm still looking for it. I hope I find it!

Ciao.
