Benvenuti Primavera! :))

Hello Spring! I love the weather in Milan recently.. Last night I only slept for 2 hours! Could you imagine how sleepy I am now..
I went to bed sooooooooo lateeeeee during this last two weeks... It was because of my exam of Product Development Research and coordination strategies.. I had to make a purposal for the brand for the next Fall/winter 2012-2013 collection. I had to make moodboard, color chart, technical analysis charts, accessories chart, styling board, and also all the product development things (such as lists of items, list for materials and price, lists per sub themes, threads).. that's only for 2 subjects of course... I still have 4 more other exam.. and could u imagine how many works that i have to finish?

But my God is so good! The presentation for the 2 big project is done this morning.. finally! and all of my hard works, all my suffering it was worth it! my exam presentation today went more than well! Thanks to my God, Jesus.. He gave me the best result... The teachers, Lara and Sorci.. they said that my job is really well done and very precise, and they said that they couldn't take notes (negative notes/notes to improve for me) because it's all good.. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... i'm so relieved!! Jesus You are amazing! It wasn't because of me or my hard work.. but it because of You! You give me strength so I could give the best for You! There's nothing that I can do if I depend on myself..

After the exam, me and my friends went to Roberto Cavalli fashion show.. I was so tired because I carried my laptops to the show.. and too bad that we couldn't enter because we didn't get the invitations.. but we were still enjoyed because we could took many pictures of many fashionable people there.. The thing that I like the most of the Milan Fashion Week is seen everyone dressed up so well during the fashion week. I love to analyze people and what they wear.. and took pictures also. because it will be great for me to do the trend prediction.. it's like cool hunter job.. lol :P
here are some pics that I took in front of Cavalli's show..

i dunno who she is but she looks like flapper girl from the twenties era.. If I have this pic before i submit my historical fashion final exam, sure I will put this pic for my assignment.. :P

Anna Dello Russo!

Me and my friends!

And then after that, me and my housemates (winnie and krista) went to Shiokolat near Cadorna metro station. Many of my friends said that they sell good gelato there. This was my first time to try their gelato and i ordered Pistacchio and Cioccolato Rhum.. it was delicious! but for me, so far the best gelato is at Piazza Lodi. I loooooovveeee the pistacchio gelato there!

We went home after grabbed some gelato.. before we got inside our house, we did some photoshoot xP Krista took it and I really love the result! it was really nice! we should do it again! hehehe.. and I poested in on Lookbook also!

Kristaaaa thanks for the photos! love it! :)

//i love my colorful necklace.. it could be match with every clothes that i have! lol// my first time wore venetian bracelets, love it!

This is my new favorite shoes! Please don't mind if you see many pic of me with those shoes.. :P

I think now i really need to sleep.. tomorrow until next week i have day offs because my next exam will be continue on next week.. I still have lots of assignments to do.. but at least the biggest part is done! Thank God!

Milan at night!

Last Monday I accompanied Nian to look around Milan at night.. Nian is one of my classmate when I took an Italian language course in Jakarta. She was came to Milan to visit me before she must went to Siena to study more Italian language.. She stayed in my apartments for 3 days..

Before went to the Duomo and Galeria Vittorio Emmanuelle, I took her to "Hong Kong" cucina di Cinese. It's the one of the best Chinese food in Milan that I know so far... We ordered 2 white rice, 3 different kind of dishes and 1 liter of water... Nian was really satisfied with the food! Thank God she love the food.. But... we ordered too much dishes so we felt like our stomach gonna burst after we ate... hehehe

So we decided to walk around Duomo.. I told Nian that Duomo is really beautiful at night because the light will shine inside the Duomo and makes the mosaic window shine beautifully. She was really conscious to see it.. And luckily that Monday night the Duomo's light was on. She was very happy because on the day before we pass Duomo at night and the Duomo's lights was off.. She took a few pictures of Duomo and she was really happy.. After that, we pass along the Galeria Vittorio Emanuelle and we took pictures there... And I also took a pic for my lookbook :P

I wore the H&M stripes shirt, Red vintage pants, black tights, Sottosopra flats, Charles & Keith olive bag, and mettalic black necklace.. It's so comfy to wear those together.. It suits with the 'not too cold' weather in Milan these days...

Matrioscas fever!!

What is Matrioscas?? It is a doll, but it's not similar to Barbie doll.. "It's a doll from Russia" <-- that's the only definition I've got from my Russian friend, Anastasia. Anastasia is one of my classmate in Master Fashion Product Management.. She'd just return from Russia, her country.. and she brought me a Matrioscas!! Super nice!!! Not only for me but also for all of my classmates and the teacher.. Thank you dear.. I really like it!!

The interesting part about Matrioscas is the doll have babies... what?? yesss!! u could find the babies inside the doll.. so many babies, it getting more tiny when u keep open the doll... It reminds me about opening a secret Christmas presents from my friend when I was 6 year old.. It is hand made doll, so the face of every doll is different, depends on the craftsmen..

FYI, Anastasia gave us last Friday during the lesson!! The class became really noisy and full of smile and laugh.. everybody was busy with their Matrioscas.. It was during Stefano Sorci's lesson.. He was listening to Sharon's fabric analysis presentation when Anastasia started to give us the Matrioscas.. Did the teacher got angry? NO! hahaha... He's one of our favorite teacher.. He started to make a funny face and laugh while opening the Matrioscas... hahahaha... We opened all of our babies Matrioscas and took a picture of them.. It was really unpredictable and fun activity!!! Thanks again for the gift Anastasia! :)))

My Matrioscas from Anastasia.. When u see, it looks like a usual handmade doll, but it's not....

When u open it,the Matrioscas have babies!!! So cute!!! :)

All of my classmates played with their Matrioscas and done the photoshoot!! :P

This is the result of our first Matrioscas photo shoot!!

Upsidedown Mood!

My look below is describe my mood this week! Sottosopra umore!!! yesssss! upsidedown! sometimes can be bright as yellow, so-so as gray, or even can turn black mood!

But overall I love this week! I always amazed about how God makes everything going well, every worst situation has change...  I feel that His favor never left me behind... His favor makes me strong, stand still and leading me to be a better person... And today's lesson at class about trend makes me see the trend in different point of view... I don't know but it makes me more conscious about God and His will in my life.. I can't imagine how my world would be if I don't believe in Him... Today I feel so gracious... Thank God for making me more and more love You each day!! :)

Happy 20th birthday Maria!!! :)

This is what I wore to Maria's 20th birthday party on las Sunday.. What a nice weather on that day... I wore purple shirt with floral scarves and tiny yellow belt. I wore my new floral tights from H&M also and combined it with my suede creme boots.. I really love those tights!!! hehehe..

 


I went to California Bakery with Krista & Maria to celebrate Maria's birthday... They offer good 'American style' foods there. I ordered Up town plate (consist of pancake salmon with eggs and french fries.. It was a really nice brunch! love it!!! Once again, happy birthday Maria!!! :)))

Me, Krista and Maria

Maria's Brunch for her birthday --> The East Side Plate.. nyummyy :P

Krista's brunch!! I forgot the name! but it seems so healthy because of the wheat grain bread..

Last but not least...... it's mine!!! The Uptown Plate!! Juicy salmon! Special boiled eggs! Luv it!!!

please give me another rainbow!! :)

Today me and Krista went to Intesa San Paolo Bank to asked some information about my account.. And then after that we were going to the ATM point at Duomo Metro Station with Krista because she wants to make a metro card..

After that we visited the inside of Duomo. After almost 2 weeks in Milan finally we saw the inside of Duomo.. hahahahaha... It's beautiful.. but, for me it's not that special because I've already been to several places like that in Israel and FYI I've been to Duomo 17 years ago and I still remember it! :P

We take some photos there. And what I like the most about Duomo is the glass mosaic windows that reflect many interesting colors.. It's so colorful, nice and artistic.. I do love bright colors so you know why I love that part!

So, as usual... I wore a bright colors again! You know why I do love bright colors? It's because bright colors always cheer me up! No matter how hard the day, no matter what happen, it magically changes my mood everytime I see the bright colors.. hahahaha.. well, back to the topic... I mixed 3 bright colors and it created a nice color palette: violet, orange and tosca.. And I added the black leggings, tank tops and necklace... I love it!

In my opinion, world without colors seems so boring and dull.. So I thank God that makes me see the beauty of the world with colors... It's so wonderful! :)

Waiting for autumn to come...

Today I spent a lot of my time at home.. Cook, clean my rooms, wash my clothes, etc.. I'm so happy and thakful for the nice new apartment... It's only by God's grace that I could have this cozy, nice, beautiful, very strategic apartment just one day before the day I should leave the hotel... I was thinking about to extend 2 or 3 more days at the hotel until I found the apartment, but God already give the best apartment for me and Krista... I'm extremely blessed!

Nice and clear weather today in Milan. My stomach seems not good enough to received the tap water.. so I go to the supermarket, near from my apartment to buy mineral waters... :P  A little bit cold this morning, but the sun still shines so bright, so I wore the black cardi, with gray tank top, zebra print scarf, Zara black skinny jeans and also Hermes sunglasses.. This photo was taken by Krista at the bench in front of my apartment... Thankyouuu Kristaa!! :D
