The designer Yurita Puji and the owner of 'Tenun Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) Julie Laiskodad are collaborated to show the runway with theme: "Touch of NTT" featuring the richness and beautiful of Nusantara Fabrics through the brand named 'LeViCo'
There are 28 women's outfit from ready-to-wear, cocktail and couture which are designed from 22 varieties of 'Tenun NTT' from each districts at Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). The designer are not only designing 'Tenun NTT' with any kind of fabrics, What I liked the most from the collection are besides it is so bright and colorful (perfect for Spring/Summer 2016), they also give a little bit touch of pretty details such as ornament, embroidery, and also swarovski - that enhancing a glamorous look for the traditional costume. And the cuttings of the outfit also kinda exposed but still sweet and adding a total feminine look.
Here are few of my favorite look for LeViCo! Tell me which one are yours :)

Bra-Over-Shirt

23:51:00



The bra over the shirt trend starts somewhere back in 90s, exactly from the Clueless fashion when Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz wore the tanks over tees. Yes, it is not technically a bra. Even though fashion means you can go crazy wearing what you like, I think that wearing the real bra as outerwear is a big disaster!

 The inner-wear as outer-wear trend is such a brilliant styling ideas when you are bored with the basic shirt. Bra-inspired fashion was actually started out with sheer top that showed off the bra underneath it. In this Spring/Summer 2016, we could see that designers are finally pushing back the bra-inspired fashion trend as the BRA-OVER-SHIRT look.

"Women are not afraid to wear any type of lingerie or bra they want, the way they want. Creativity in style often coincides with freedom of thought. And this should make us think."

For some of us, as an Asian - wearing too exposed piece of clothing such as bra or cropped top, will make us feel uncomfortable and lack of confidence, especially for the curvy body type, cause it may show off some of the unwanted edges. But let's think the other way around, how about wearing it as an outerwear.


In this case, my V-neck cropped top is way too low and won't be perfect for my casual-wear. Once again, thank you to Clueless fashion trend that inspires me to wear it over my shirt. Anyway, you might not just wear your bra with anything you like. My personal trick is wearing bra over the fitted shirt, cause it will look more blend-in. And the choose of color must be bold or bright thus making your bra stands-out.

Last but not least, I do encourage you to stock up some bra-alike or cropped top, it will help you getting multiple uses out of one item of clothing. Sounds more satisfying isn't?

White Intimate Blogger Gathering

17:31:00





I had really fun day with pretty and fashionable ladies at the blogger gathering - Female Daily Headquarter on March 5th 2016. Event featuring Lactacyd White Intimate whereas having us fairy blue and white dress code. 
 
Through the event, we are having a little bit of white fashion talk that was brilliant and helpful for some of us as a fashion blogger! Cause we know that wearing white sometimes really tricky, here I have blogged about why white works earlier on my blog.
 Beside that, we also had a short presentation about Lactacyd White Intimate directly from the expert. For me as Lactacyd's loyal customer, I wore the green ones which is the 'fresh' series. Now, they have launched the new product - the 'white intimate' series intended for brighten the skin around miss V!

  They explained why and how the skin area around miss V can be darkened. It could be due to too many activities that can cause sweat and the friction between skin and tight underwear. Lactacyd as one of the best feminine hygiene products around the world, contribute the solution to brighten the skin area around miss V because it contains jicama, milk and algowhite that had been clinically tested efficient for brighten the skin and can be seen the progress in only four weeks as daily used.

We also had a few competition including 'best social media post' and 'best OOTD'! For the social media post, we required to post our best three pictures to either Instagram or Twitter.




And for the 'best OOTD', I got a chance to explain the concept of my outfit of the day. I was wearing BACK TO 90'S with my high colar shirt with a sweet touch of flare detail on my sleeve paired with my favorite baby blue a-line skirt overall! Not forget to mention I was wearing my lace up shoes as well. I love this combo, making me look younger. Some of them even noticed me as 18s :D

Why White Works

17:50:00



White is my go-to outfit all the time. It is just fine for me to investing on white, cause I can match everything with it. By going white on white also making you look clean and classy at the same time!

For today, I go for entire white - Of course with a little bit of color for my accessories including headpiece and sling bag, cause I don't wanna look like a ghost anyway. 



Here I got a tips for you to wear white on white. First thing first, you must have a confidence. Wearing all white may steal a bit of attention around you, unless you are going for a party. In this case, wearing entire white outfit for a casual day should be concerned on how clean is your garments, and how match are the white color of your top and bottom?

An easy way to put together white outfit is wearing a matching pieces! However, I was not wearing a matching sets though. My white cropped top matches my white pleated skirt cause they are in the same color which is off-white.


One more thing to give a dimension for your white outfit is by adding the other color by switching up your accessories. Personally, I would pull out my white outfit with monochrome black sling bag, and adding some neutral color accessories that 'blend in', as you can see my light brown color fedora hat and nude sandals. 



Beside the color matters, take a consideration on structure and shape too. Since wearing black will make you look slimmer cause it hiding every seamless curve of your body, on the other hand by wearing white will make you look puffy, unless you take a consider on a shape of your entire outfit. For example, if you are wearing voluminous or flare pieces for the bottom, keep the top half fitted or tucked in, and vice versa!


Keep in mind, due to your very basic white on white style, its a must for you to have a statement piece to be a focal point of your entire outfit. Just like mine, I called my pleated skirt as my statement piece, I am just in love with the see-through details which making such a perfect silhouette!

Something Big Worth The Fear

16:13:00



Most of us including me, always waiting for the right moment to actually start something new. For instance, we tend to wait for a new month to start a certain business, a new habit, or even a healthy lifestyle. But seriously, everyone starts somewhere! Let's be honest, waiting for the right moment - its a procrastinating, which makes us lazy, lost of focus and just feeling bad about the idea of start something new. 

 "Don't wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect" - Unknown

I could not agree more on this quote. In other word he/she tried to say that there is no perfect moment, its our own effort to make it perfect.

From now on, whenever you see the chance, take it and just go along with it. Don't afraid to take a risk cause you will learn through the process. What I wanted to say is 'something big worth the fear'. So let's start something new!
