crafting time

Hey loves! Since a lot of you have been requesting for me to put up an online shop for my DIY/handmade goodies, I will now make it available to you guys! In a matter of days :) Crafting, tinkering, and designing has been my passion ever since I was a kid. Whatever I get my hands into, I visualize and consequently make it into a piece of art. I’ve been getting a lot of lovely messages about my creations and designs. However, I wouldn’t mass produce (for now) since, I, myself would be making these stuffs for you, hence, only limited intricate pieces would be available, for now. But do not hesitate! When I open my shop, just fill up the order form that will soon be available. You can contact me through here or facebook for more organized talking! Or instagram perhaps? here! So you can easily reserve? Anyway. I can’t wait to receive your orders cos I would love to write to you guys! The packaging and letters would be done whole heartedly. Effort ‘to! Hee. I love you guys! The online shop request would soon be granted. I hope you’d support it :D Reblog this so that our other mates would know!

10 fashion blogger ~

Blogger di Indonesia saat ini memang tak seperti blogger yang ada diluar sana. Lebih dihargai dan pastinya menjadi pekerjaan yang sangat menyenangkan. Namun, sekarang ini gue bisa melihat perkembangan blogger di tanah air mulai dihargai. Beberapa media khususnya majalah fashion (wanita) selalu mencantumkan blogger.

Blogger mulai bisa eksis, tidak hanya didunia maya saja. Bukan hanya soal uang dan terkenal, tapi dihargai karena profesinya yang patut lebih di eksplore lagi. Beberapa blogger ini patut kalian tahu, bukan sekedar blogger lho mereka. Mereka menamakan diri sebagai blogger fashion. Siapa saja mereka?

Meus amores, como eu já falei aqui no blog, eu tenho uma amiga cantora: Thaís Jacob. Pois muito bem, ontem, nós estávamos conversando, sobre o repertório dos próximos vídeos dela, quando ela começou a falar sobre a cantora Ellie Goulding. Até então, eu só conhecia essa cantora de nome, mas nunca tinha parado pra escutar nenhuma música dela. Mas como boa geminiana que sou, eu resolvi pesquisar tudo sobre a carreira da Ellie e ouvir as suas músicas. E dessa pesquisa, nasceu o post de hoje, espero que todos gostem!

“A major problen with parking at the PVJ”

however at this time a new parking area is under construction. Finding a good parking spot in the late morning was no problem....but......when we were trying to drive out of the Mall (mid afternoon)....well this is what happened.....we had been at the top parking area, parked near a lift which had taken us directly to Carrefour.....we drove down the concrete ramp within site of the area where we entered in our car in the morning....then we were detoured "down and down" into the depths of the older original parking area.....it must have taken around 20 minutes before after a series of twists and turns, we again saw the light of day and then had to wait another 4 to 5 minutes before paying for the parking. The male attendant charged us 8 thousand idr (not much by western standards) and when I asked for a parking receipt this changed down to 6 thousand idr...seems the parking man had a little scheme going whereby many motorists are "fleeced" for a little extra...it all adds up, but he didnt get any extra from us....we'd spent too much time trying to get out of the place...driving away on the exit road from the PVJ Mall is qite horrific...this road is in a real mess..pot holes etc...there is a front entrance to the Mall with reasonable parking, but from our home direction we had to take the rough enxtrance/exit road and it aint fun!

For the time being I'd suggest if you want to go to a more organised Mall with neat and tidy entrance/exit road, the Ciwalk is far far better....and for older people once you do get there, not so much walking involved!

I look at you, I smile. I think about you, I smile. We talk, I smile. I can't believe that I fall in love with you.

Paris – capital of Fashion and social media for 24h

Paris – capital of Fashion and social media for 24h

Last year’s event was already a good success, even as first edition. I am glad that Ykone has decided to organize the 2nd edition. Not only because they are the best suited to do it and because I like to see Paris lead the Social Media topic for Fashion, but also because typically the learning curve and improvements from one year to the next is very steep. With more time per speaker and topic, a great networking location and focus on professional participants, you can expect an event that maybe, is on its way to establish itself as the convention for social media professionals in the Fashion business – just as LeWeb has become for startups.

What’s the plan for FLOW 2012?

Fewer speakers: I was one of the speakers at last years FLOW which saw many panel discussions but only few fire-side chats. This year Ykone wants to focus more on individual speakers and provide real insights. Thus expect that there will be fewer, but nonetheless more high profile speakers. Fashion startups were given a lot of room on the agenda last year, but this year it should be balanced and more traditional actors with a strong social media strategy can be expected (Note that I can’t disclose yet which companies confirmed, but I will come back to this point as soon as Ykone give the green light)
Only 200 professional participants: Everybody can attend FLOW, but you’ll have to pay for your ticket. “We decided to limit the participants to the first 200 ticket owners” claims Olivier, who prefers to limit the number of attendees, and wants to manage the quality of networking through the conference fee that is set at 990€ for a single participant. The venue will be the same as last year: A trendy location, Le 8 Valois in the heart of Paris, next to Palais Royal and Le Louvre. The audience shall be balanced between fashion labels, media agencies and startups contributing to interesting discussions and experience sharing. The facility is made in a way that you can attend the session or have private discussions in a meeting area.

Ykone saw this comin

Ykone, France’s first social fashion magazine, agency and media network had seen this coming for a while. In the past 24 months fashion and luxury brands became very active, playing around with technology and are now deploying their full creativity with social media. While blogs played an important role a few years ago, I predict that Fashion blogging will soon be dead as brands and labels are becoming more intimately involved with social media (This might be the subject of a future post here – stay tuned or contact me to contribute or argue).

FLOW – When social media meets fashion
On September 24th, on the Eve of Paris’ Spring/Summer 2013 Pret-a-Porter Week Ykone organizes its 2nd edition of FLOW, a must participate event if you’re working in Fashion or Luxury markets or if you are passionate about social marketing in that area.
 I met with Olivier Billon, Ykone’s co-founder and CEO, who told me “we’re doing FLOW again this year, and it’s going to be better than last year”.
Personally, I am expecting a conference with a lot of practical showcases and best-practices. I asked Olivier what he is cooking up for this years’ event. “It’s not about blogging nor Facebook, but about fashion business” says Olivier, “it’s connecting community and commerce”. It would have been easy, according to him, to grow the number of participants from last year’s 300 to up to 500 in 2012, but instead he wants to focus on quality of the attendees and depths of the sessions.

Fashion is on the fast-track in the social space

I remember my first Fashion Week spring 2010 when Fashion bloggers had to beg organizers to get a pass into Fashion Shows (or had to make deals with security guards). Most bloggers were still waiting outside of luxury palaces or hanging around in the cold on Paris’ Place Vendôme hunting top models and other VIPs for a street-style photo. Tolerated “amateurs” such as Garence Doré and Scott Schuman, the most famous blogging couple, were exceptions inside the shows. Paris in particular used to be a “closed society” while other Fashion Weeks in London or New York were more open minded towards the new social media. As example: Burburrey was amongst the first Premium brands to stream their London show live on the web and to use iPads after the show to present the new collections to their guests.

Then in 2011 more bloggers were invited, the best and smarter ones even got seats in the front-row. This annoyed the former front-row seaters to see that “nobodies” would enter their well-protected space leading to lots of tensions and “protectonistic” debates within the industry. Then came more affordable Prêt-à-Porter brands like Etam who decided to stop snobbing bloggers and turned their catwalk into a gigantic party with lots of them. The social media coverage they received for this show contributed strongly to their re-branding efforts and helped them gain ground in the competitive environment..

Finally, in December 2011 during LeWeb in Paris, which as all of you know is not a fashion-event, M Karl Lagerfeld showed a hand-drawn portrait of Steve Jobs (19″)on an iPad and even started drawing live on stage using a pen and iPad. Thus everybody inside and outside the Fashion space had understood that the embracement of technology by Fashion creators is irreversible and that a new area had started, allowing fashion marketeers also to go more social – making fashion the fastest growing business online with still some bright years ahead, according to Forrester Research.

Directions to make piñata sugar cookies:

1

Make the dough

Cream sugars with butter. Beat in eggs. Add oil. Combine dry ingredients together, and then gradually add them to the mixture. Mix in vanilla and almond extract.

2

Color the dough

Split dough into five, even-sized balls and one smaller ball (this will be the black one). Add food coloring to each of the dough balls until desired color is achieved. Gel food coloring gives you more intense colors than liquid.

3

Layer the dough

Use a container the same approximate width of your donkey/burro piñata cookie cutter, and line it with plastic food wrap. Split all of your colored dough balls in half (except the black) and begin layering the dough in the container, starting with the black dough on the bottom. Alternate the colors so that you end up with two layers of each color by the time you're done.

4

Wait

Cover the layered dough and freeze for four hours or overnight. This is the perfect time to conserve your creative juices for what lies ahead.

5

Bake the cookies

Remove the dough from the container and unwrap from the plastic. Cut slices, approximately 1/4-inch wide. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes.

6

Cut the cookies

Immediately after you take them out of the oven, use your burro piñata cookie cutter to cut the cookie shapes. Working in sets of three, be sure to cut two burro piñata cookies in one direction and one burro piñata cookie in the opposite direction. (Just flip your cookie cutter over.) That way, when you go to assemble them, the finished cookie will look "pretty" on both sides -- because the baked, bottom sides will be hidden.

7

Create the hidden pocket

For the middle cookies in each set, cut off the ears and legs, and cut out the center where the M&Ms will go. I used a small square cutter, and made three cuts to get a narrow rectangle. Try to work quickly, because as the cookies cool, they are more likely to crumble or break. Let them cool on the baking sheet before you move them and remove the excess, outer cookie.

8

Assembling the piñata cookies

To assemble, take the first piñata cookie and lay it upside down so that the baked bottom is facing up. Outline the center of the piñata body with a "frosting glue" mixture of milk and powdered sugar. (I used 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and two teaspoons of milk. If you put it inside a Ziploc bag and cut off a tiny tip of the bag's corner, you can pipe it onto the cookie easily.)
Put the middle cookie on top of the frosting glue and add the M&Ms to the open center. Put another outline of frosting glue on the middle cookie and place the opposite-cut piñata cookie on top (so that the pretty side is facing out). Let these sit and harden for at least 30 minutes before you stand them upright.

9

Show off your finished piñata cookie

This recipe will make six to eight piñata cookies.

In a land that’s dark almost half the year, many designers make up for it by using pops of cheerful color. I feel a little brighter just looking at these lovely objects.

Pink Socialite Fashion Icon : Amita Persaud-Webb

Ashleigh: Describe your style.

Amita: My style is multi-dimensional. I feel that fashion can be used to describe your mood as well as your own sense of self. I don't stick to one style or a given trend...it changes with my mood.

Ashleigh: Who is your style icon?

Amita: My style icons are Beyonce, Kim K & Rihanna. I love the way they use fashion as a huge part of their images/careers. I like Kim K especially, she reminds me of old Hollywood glamour.

Ashleigh: Do you think style is important? Why?

Amita: Style is only important when it means something more than just outfits to the individual. Style can set you apart from the rest. Remember, you are usually seen before you are heard. So physical impressions do count!

Ashleigh: What makes you feel glamorous?

Amita: I love shoes! Especially stilettos....high heels! Love em! A nice pair of high heels makes me feel glamourous, no matter what the outfit is.

Ashleigh: What advice would you give to others that are trying to define their style?

Amita: Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Apart from that, you should research current fashions trends, your fashion icons and pick what you like/love. Always keep in mind your body type and what shapes will flatter your body...not all trends fit every body type! The internet is your best friend!

Ashleigh: Who is your favorite designer?

Amita: I have a few favorite designers: Valentino, Alexander McQueen,Yves Saint Laurent,Christian Dior, Romeich Wear and Nina Ricci.

Ashleigh: Where are your favourite places to shop?

Amita: Forever 21, 20/20 (Jamaica)...basically anywhere with great customer service and hot fashions at reasonable prices. Sometimes it's easier to shop around everywhere ...pick up pieces that you love.

Ashleigh: Name one fashion trend you hate.

Amita: Any fashion trends I hate? The pants below your butt and underwear out trend that men seem to adore!

Ashleigh: When you meet the opposite sex, what is the first thing you notice about them?

Amita: When I meet a guy, the first thing I notice is their smile, their scent, and their choice of language! Who doesn't love a smooth talker?

Ashleigh: What look/style do you like best for guys? 

Amita: Any man who is well dressed is an attractive man! I love that crisp jean, plaid shirt, and matching sneakers look..with the jewelry to compliment...but my preference changes with the trends!
