PepperPotts Photoshoot

I have finally decided to start selling out some of my knitting works. My knitting line is called Pepperpotts and I have also launched a special online page where I posted the collections that are available for sale.

A few days earlier (before the blog and online shop was launched) I had two days of photoshoot for the collections, hiring my own husband as the photographer and myself as the model.

Day 1 of photoshoot

Had the short photoshoot session at one of Jakarta's own city park that was located at the center of the city. It didn't go as well as planned, since we got stuck in traffic jam a bunch of times on our way there - it turned out that one of the presidential candidates and a large crowd was visiting the election committee's office nearby. well, we're not voting for them - so we only had a couple of shots taken then we moved to another venue.

Too bad though, because the weather was totally perfect.

What I wear on top: Red dress by Dlaalune, Denim legging by CottonInk, Blue Frilly Scarf/Beige Infinity Shawl/Knitted Pumpkin hat by Pepperpotts

Day 2 of photoshoot

This time we decided that we wouldn't go too far from home, so we went to the nearby park and one of the malls we hangout so often at. The weather and sunlight was awesome, we totally had a great time. And since it was done at working hours, both of the venue wasn't too crowded so we took our time and actually had a lot of great photos.

What I wear: Black dress by ASOS, unbranded tights, Shoes by Kickers, Light Blue Infinity Shawl/Gray Neck Warmer by Pepperpotts, Chicago Totebag.

We spent the rest of the afternoon (and evening) window-shopping at the mall and ended up shopping.

A Short Getaway

Last week I went to a short trip with my husband on his company's one day tour. The company where my husband is working at held this short trip for their employees to West Java, starting the tour at Carita Resort, then to Tangkuban Perahu and then finished the tour at Lembang. All of the destinations were at the mountains area on West Java, so it was actually quite refreshing since Jakarta's weather was extremely hot.

We didn't take any photos at Carita, but my husband (and everyone else, of course) had a lot of fun bathing at the steamy hot pool. The resort that we went to at Carita was a huge area of public pool and baths with hot water. The natural mountain water was mixed with sulfur that came from the deep mountain that cause the water to be really hot, and they also said that bathing in the water could cure a lot of sickness.

We took more photos at the next destination, Tangkuban Perahu. It was really awesome to be back there again since my last visit many many years ago, which I took with my family back when I was a child. It's really crowded now but the view was really beautiful. Too bad that only after about 15 minutes that we got to the crater (which is located at the peak), it immediately started to rain and the fog got so thick that we couldn't take any photos of the crater. The weather was so cold but fresh. I was grateful that I wore a thick cardigan on the trip.

What I wore: Apricot Striped Tribal Asymmetric Hem Cardigan Sweater from SheInside, Brown Top from Shopatvelvet, Logo Jeans, CottonInk x TLTSN Flat Shoes

Though we didn't take any photos of the crater, we did take photos on the scenery. And we also noticed that the forest surrounding the crater site and the forest that we passed along the way looked really awesome, both mystical and beautiful at the same time. Here are some of the photos that I posted on instagram from the tour. 

 

The photos of the surrounding forest I postes on Instagram.

My husband took this with camera that we brought at the tour.

See how serious my husband looks trying to look at the crater through the fog :*

Taken from my husband's Instagram. Looks so mystical with the wet earth and the fog. Love it so much...

The one day tour really reminds me how I miss travelling with my husband. Hope we can have another travelling trip together again soon.

Until next time!

November Project: Two-tone Knitted Shawl

The Goods Dept. Grand Opening Night

Last Thursday night (at Sept 27th, 2012) was a special night for The Goods Dept. because they were having their grand opening night. And I was lucky enough to received a special invitation to attend the event, which I actually won on a quiz that they held on Twitter the day before.

I went to Pasific Place by myself right after work and managed to enter The Goods Dept. at 7 pm (just when the gate was opened). I didn't stay until the actual ceremony and party started because I had to prepare myself for a meeting at the office the next morning, but I did have some little shopping and had the chance to choose on some new collections from my favorite brands that were available.

There were so many cool and gorgeous new stuff from the brands that I love...I did manage to take some pics though (sorry for the low quality shots, I didn't have my camera with me so I just simply use my phone camera)

Totally loved the 80's theme decoration on the store (and the people who was there). So fun and classy :)

This is me. I had no one to ask for taking my picture so I just took mine through the mirror reflection. Just to prove that I was there :p

The ink mark I got just when I left. I didn't come back  after though

Thank you so much for The Goods Dept. for the special invitation. Had a great time. Too bad I didn't stay long to enjoy the party (and didn't take any pics of the amazing party either), but the Baileys Milkshake was extra yummy.

xoxo,

Superdry Summer-Spring 2012 Collection Fashion Show

Last week I joined THE BIGGEST GIVEAWAY EVER WITH SUPERDRY held by MetroX and Superdry Indonesia, and eventually became one of the winners. Yaaayyy!! (see announcement here)

I didn't win the full makeover grandprize but I did win a special invitation to attend Superdry Summer-Spring 2012 Collection Fashion Show at Plaza Indonesia, which was held as part of Plaza Indonesia Fashion Week. The show was held last Wednesday, March 21st 2012, at Plaza Indonesia Function Hall.

It was a great show after all. The invitation was valid for 2 persons and at first I didn't have anyone to go with, and actually prepared myself to go alone (as always). But then my husband told me that he would go, just so I won't have to go home alone late at night (love you, hon! :*). So we met just before the show started at 8 PM on Plaza Indonesia.

The show was a great success. I'm loving the whole collection. Bravo, Superdry!

The door-prize winner announcement. Unfortunately, I didn't win :'(

The MC is introducing Christy, the Full Makeover Grand Prize winner by Superdry

Here are some of the collection that I love and was able to take pics of...

 

And though I didn't get the grand prize nor won the door prize, I still didn't got home empty handed. I got this special goodie-bag and cute Tee from Superdry.

Deffinitely a great night. And I felt so lucky to be able to have a ride home together with my husband, since  our work places are far apart. So unlucky that we didn't get to take pictures of ourselves at the event. This way I can't brag on how I survived wearing extremely high platform heels shoes that night for the show. Gonna make sure that won't happen again next time :p
