Hi! Gimana kabar semuanya? Semoga sehat-sehat terus ya aminnnnn

Hello!



Finally I will get my early holiday tomorrow! After cities in Indonesia,  now time to explore some country that I never been to.

Talking about traveling, you will of course cannot pass the packing time. It is indeed stressful, because sometimes you want to bring many, but in a side note, you want to go light. Back then, I always bring things that I ended up not using or wearing, so by the years I learn to 'throw away' the thing that I don't really need for my travel.

So, what most important thing to remember to keep it light?

1. Mix and match at it best. Okay, you want to take as many as OOTD's but you can't bring all your shoes, and the heavy jacket (if you go somewhere wintry), well... show off your skills and style your BASIC and two COMPLIMENT colors for and outfit, and NEUTRAL for shoes and bags.

2. Toiletries & Medicine. If you stay in a hotel, you will get towel and toothbrush, and a hair dryer soooo put it all back to your drawer at home. Bring only something necessary, such as your personal skin care and medicine.

3. Always true too yourself. Sometimes, you still argue inside, to bring that killer heels even though you don't have any plan to go to any formal event there.

Just remember, what matter is to have fun and not to worry much about what you're bring because hello, it's your holiday!  (I tried to tell it to myself) hahaha...

Everyone knows that Pinterest is a go-to for some inspiration. Once, back when I was working in a magazine, I need to do an article about how successful people unwind, or what they actually do before sleep that affect their attitude the next day.

I rarely follow the trend, but it's not necessarily means I'm not doing it sometimes. Because when it comes to the things I like or the things that caught my attention, I usually tried the things.

This time, (after all these times I saw people wearing this) I dare myself to buy and wear it myself. Yes, the pleated palazzo pants. I always wanted to try it but not sure how it's going to look on me.

So today, I'm wearing the pants, and of course I opt for the black one and match with a simple tee from H&M, small sling bag from Vechen, a local brand, and black crossing sandals from Charles & Keith.

I think I look okay. Do I?  ;)
So tell me, what is the thing that you want to wear but haven't try it yet? Tell me!

Until next time!

Udah lama sepertinya saya gak menulis dengan bahasa Indonesia disini. Ya, biasanya saya banyak menulis dalam bahasa inggris karena merasa lebih banyak yang baca blog saya dari luar negri alias temen-temen blogger lainnya dr luar negri hehe.. dan karena saya lebih merasa gak kaku while using english.

Anyway, ketika berbicara mengenai menulis, saya masih ingat waktu kecil saya tidak pernah bisa lepas dengan buku tulis atau agenda dan diary, karena ya itu, saya suka menulis! Apapun jenisnya, entah itu sekedar hanya bikin cerita pendek ataupun satu buku full saya bikin seperti novel dengan tulisan tangan. Haha kebayang kan capek nulisnya?

Setelah dewasa saya semakin merasa menulis menjadi kesenangan bagi diri saya dan ingin mempelajarinya lebih jauh dari pada sekedar menulis asal saja. Dan akhirnya waktu kuliah saya mengambil jurusan professional & creative writing di Australia sambil bekerja freelance sebagai reporter pada satu majalah Indonesia berbahasa inggris di Australia.

Saya tidak pernah menyangka bahwa kesukaan saya menulis dapat dikembangkan dengan lebih baik seperti itu, dan ternyata banyak teori yang diajarkan pada saat saya berkuliah yang memang harus diketahui oleh penulis. But again, you need to have that passion tho, karena kalau enggak ya gak bakalan enjoy nulisnya :)

Setelah lulus saya pun mencoba meraih impian saya sewaktu kecil, yaitu bekerja pada majalah fashion & lifestyle. Saya sudah baca majalah sejak duduk dibangku SD loh, (ya, saya langganan majalah Gadis dan Kawanku sejak tahun 90'an akhir!) jadi saya selalu membayangkan keseruan dibelakang layar pembuatan majalah.

Fast forward to nowadays, I am an experience writer, former editor of ELLE Indonesia magazine, and currently work as a content & marketing manager. Akhirnya saya tau rasanya kerja dimajalah, susah senangnya, selama kurang lebih 3 tahun disana.

Pada posting-posting berikutnya mungkin saya akan bagikan tips menulis kali ya? kalau emang ada yang mau hehe...

Till next time,

As a lifestyle editor and writer (of course) I do cover about restaurants, and yes I do love foods. This time, I got an invitation from Publik Markette to their new program in the restaurant. They will have a themed food every 2 months and it will last for two weeks with specific food from the theme. For this month, they offer Italian food with 5 specialty from Pizza to share to homemade banana tiramisu with Thai tea ice cream. If you want to visit the restaurant on this month, I suggest you to order the Pizza right away, it taste the best.
