Michael Kors Hamilton Saffiano N/S Tote Large - RED

Merdekaaa!!!

Hahaha..apa kabar semuanya? hope baik2 aja yaa..seperti diriku hari ini yang lagi merasa happy sampe keubun-ubun. (karena menang lomba makan kerupuk Gie?) Noo..no..udah gede mak, malu sama umur dan gak enak juga saingan ma bocah2 deket kostan! LOL

Anyway, hari ini gw cuma mau sharing aja how much I enjoyed my days lately. First after ber-galaw2 ria gegara nervous menyambut hari pertama kerja, all of sudden hari kamis kemarin, semua perasaan galaw, resah, gelisah dan gamang..hilang semuanyaah!

And the reason is because, finally, after weeks of weeks hunting, browsing2 sampe begadang dan compare2 sampe mata sliwer, last Thursday, my dream MK Hamilton Saffiano Red has finally arrived! Excited? Sudah cencuuw <3

Jadi ceritanya kan kamis kemarin gw ndak kemana-mana, trus iseng deh mau nongkrong2 sambil buka laptop di kolam. Baru juga naro laptop, tiba2 aja Bu Sugeng bilang kalo gw dapet kiriman paket, pas gw liat bungkus paketnya gedaaa..I kneew it was my long-awaited bag that's coming!

Jangan ditanya deh betapa noraxnya gw ketika ngeliat itu, secara gw udah kaya orang gila lompat2an kesenengan, sampe2 si Ibu Sugeng berrolling eyes ngeliatinnya :p

Trus ga pake lama, langsung buru2 donk gw buka itu paket (sambil deg2an pastinya) (berasa kaya dapet kiriman cincin kawin) (maafkan saya yang norak ya) And there it is, just right in front of my eyes, my dream bag!

OMG...OMG...OMG

You see, I've been dreaming this bag since the very first I saw it, but I was torned between this one or Selma, and after long consideration, I chose Selma Black first instead of this. After I got the Selma, then I began to hunting Hamilton Red again.

Apparently,  it was not that easy. Considering this color was their last season' collection and they don't sell in any longer here in my country, thus I need to search to another country or websites.

Again, it was not that easy because most of the websites only provide the Mandarin color instead of RED, and for me, even though both colors are looked almost the same, but I just knew that in real life they're both slightly different. As per its name, Mandarin leans to orange-ish and yeah of course I don't liked it.  So the hunting kept continued...

Until one day I found the real Red at Macy's.  As always, I contacted one of the forum seller to buy it for me. Unfortunately, at that time she doesn't open PO from Macy's, as well as the other sellers too. And there you are, I lost hope! Tapi namanya juga ngidam ya mak, gw kekeuh musti hunting teruuuus! Akhirnya, gw coba2 deh searching dan compare2 harga di Instagram, Facebook and another online sites sampe buntu mau nyari kemana lagi.

Several weeks has passed until I tried it once again on Google, and finally..one of the online shopping site called Amazon sell it and what makes me even happier is that the price was on sale aka cheaper than what I've seen before, A LOT!

So without further thinking, I immediately contacted the seller -thank God that she open PO at Amazon- and after I agreed on the quote price, I said confirmed and she said OK.

Deal Done! All I have to do is just wait for it to arrived in my kostan for about 3 weeks or so (so much depends on our customs).

To my surprise, it's arrived earlier than I thought! Only in 3 weeks, the seller sent me the invoice and less than 2 days, it's here and totally mine now ;) 

Under direct SUN ;)

 

Yeah, I used it on my first day working...

 

After a thrilled and super exciting day, latah deh mampir ke Galleries Lafayette Pacific Place untuk iseng ngecek2 toko MK yang baru aja dibuka. Dan ujung2nya adalah, kalap nyobain tas2 dan aksesoris yang super duper keceh2 itu sampe kebawa mimpi segala!

PS : Naksir satchel saffiano yang luggage...sama bracelet and wide buckle ring!

Arrrgghh..gak bener iniih -____-

Wishlist : Red Bag with Gold Hardware

Hola everybodiih..moga2 semuanya sehat2 yaa..me, alhamdulillah sehat dan happy. But gitu deh, sangking happynya, gw sampe neglecting my blog for couple of weeks.

Jujur aja, akhir2 ini gw lagi seneng2nya menata kostan yang baru dan hampir tiap hari gw selalu heboh ke Ace, Informa dan hypermart demi hunting barang2 unyu berwarna merah.

But it's not easy ternyata, karena sampe dgn sekarang gw masih belum juga menemukan container plastik dan rak multifungsi warna merah -__-

In The Mood For Red

Setelah sebelumnya ber-commit untuk pake baju garis2 selama seminggu penuh akhirnya minggu ini gw memutuskan untuk pake baju merah selama seminggu penuh juga...

Agak kaya orang kurang kerjaan siih, but well, kan ceritanya mau meramaikan suasana Natal-an dan ples gw juga udah keabisan ide mau pake baju apaa, so mending yang gampang aja deh..

So here it is, my weekly outfit with a theme "In the mood for red" ;)

Standaar abies-lah my working outfit :D

'End of the Year' Nail Polish Haul

Geez, I just realized that I haven't post about nail polish again since June, nearly 7 months! Yaaah, gimana doonk, my mood for nail polish always ups and down sihh. But since it's almost end of the year (sooo??), i think it's the best time for me to have a new one (or two) nail polish-es to added into my stash :p

Aaaand it's super easy to predict that my next nail polish haul will be another red nail polish (hidup merah!)  heheheh..

So after reading some reviews on red nail polish comparisons, I decided to put my order on Malaga Wine and German-icure. The reasons are obvious, both nail polishes are superb and I don't have a similar shade as these two reds.

  
Malaga Wine is a creamy vampy red that looked bright on first application and instantly transformed to a deep red wine on second or 'if needed' three applications.

As we all know, OPI formula has never failed anyone, including me.  It's easy to apply, very opaque, fast dry and super shiny. Update : however....i don't know why, i missed my luck this time as it turned out that my Malaga Wine took forever to dry..very unusual indeed..but well, maybe i need to change my base coat then.

Second nail polish comes from a very recent OPI Germany collection for Fall 2012. It consist of 12 beautiful colors, but my eyes can only sees the red one ;p

There are actually 2 red shades on the collection, first one is Danke-Shiny Red and second is German-icure, but I opt for the second red because Danke (for me) looks very similar to An Affair In Red Square, which I already owned.

Based on Scrangie (nail polish goddes), German-icure is a Dark, vampy, brown-tinged shimmery red and has a subtle gold shift to it. Sounds an interesting color details cause I personally always love vampy nail polish, and this one is no exception.

I do not know how it would turn out on my nails, but I'm pretty sure its gonna be awesome (high-pitch gaya Barney ;p) Update : I love love how they turned out on my nails, just exactly as i wanted...however, my nails are not in a very mint conditions and they're short, thus it doesnt look that good on the picture..bleeh :(

Anyway, I am a no-nail polish junkie, but if I had a chance to have all red nail polish in the world, it will sounds amazing though ;p

 Gimme More Please :p

Haul - Tops Made in Korea

Melanjutkan posting gw sebelumnya tentang usaha gw untuk suka ma Korea. Maka sesuai dengan point terakhir, satu hal yang sudah sukseis bikin gw tertarik dengan Korea adalah fashionnya.

Fashion yang gw maksud disini bukan fashion secara garis besar a.k.a trend dan style secara keseluruhannya yaa, tapi Fashion Korea yang gw maksud disini hanya sebatas produksi baju2 buatan Korea sajah.

Cheteks amat ya asumsinya?? Emaaaannnggg!!! Lah secara gw bukan pengamat fesyen, boro2 fesyen Korea, wong yang lokal aja saya meneketehe (ketauan, ga pedulinya!) Well, buat saya fesyen itu ya fesyen, penting koq I know, tapi its not that too important for me.

Lanjuuts...Jadi, selama ini gw sadar banget tuh, kalo yang namanya baju2 buatan Korea lagi booming2nya dipejeng di online shopping. Mau di Multiply keq, mau FB keq sampe ke BB group segala. And i've to admit kalo display-an baju2 mereka bener2 bajuuss. Sampe one day, gw pernah nyoba sekali untuk mesen baju2 itu lewat temen di BB Group.

Ekspektasi gw udah pasti tinggi lah, dengan mengesampingkan kenyataan kalo kulit gw, bentuk tubuh dan ukuran tubuh gw amat sangat jauh dari model2 Korea itu, gw tetep berharap baju yang gw order sedikit banyak akan bikin gw terlihat sama bagusnya sama apa yang model2 itu pakai...Tapi saudara2, ibarat lagi bengong disiram air seember, gw shock karena ekspektasi gw tidak terwujud sama sekali!!!

Kualitas baju yang datang jauuh banget dari bayangan gw (jelek maksudnya gituuh), oke-lah gw gak berharap gw akan pantes2 amat makenya, tapi setidaknya kalopun tuh baju mau gw kasi ke orang lain, gw ga akan malu2 banget ngasinya! Nah ini, ya materialnya, ya cuttingnya, ya warnanya..super duper gak genggeus bin ciamiks, malah masih lebih beres baju2 yang dijual di Ambass. Kucewa? Yaeyaalaaah..wong harganya ga murah dan nunggunya juga ga sebentar.

Tapi ya mau gimana, gw cuma bisa bilang "lesson learned!" Ga lagi2 deh gw beli baju2 buatan Korea kalo ndak bisa liat IRL-nya.

Tapi beberapa hari yang lalu, semua kekapokan gw sirna sudah. Sebabnya? Karena saya Ababil..*hidupababil :p Yah gada sebab juga sih, cuma masih penasaran aja dan akhirnya semua kegondokan gw bisa gw tepis dengan pembelaan dari diri sendiri...*ini ngomongin paan sih?!

Long story short...gw pikir waktu itu gw pas lagi apes aja, makanya dapet baju made in Korea yang bapusk. Dan kali ini, gw iseng donk mesen ma reseller yang trusted, apalagi gw tau banyak yang pesen juga dari link ini, pleeesss, gambar2 baju yang ada di websitenya terlihat lebih promising dan propesional (pake P), obvious sih based on harganya *tsah. So here are 3 clothes made in Korea yang telah gw PO. We will see in real lifenya bakalan kaya gimana..kalo masih kaga bajus juga yaudah, gw beneran ga cintah deeeh ma Korea..unless gw datang kesana untuk beli secara langsung. Teteuups!!! :D

Lucuuuw yaaa blousenyaa...and aku suka deh aksen scarf (merahnya) plus kancing2 emasnya ples modelnya *eehloh! Itu mukanya boneka buangets siih, aku mau donk punya muka kaya gitu ;((

It's only a T-shirt, tapi it's a very very unique t-shirt. Udah pasti gw kepincut ma aksen bintangbunga yang ada di shouldernya itu..Lumayan bisa buat jalan2 ke HK January besok...*lamaa beneer :p

 

Lagi2 cuma T-shirt doank dan harganya hampir limaratusrebongajahgituh (ganiatpamer). Alesan beli ini karena baru sadar belum punya baju garis2 merah maroon kek gini dan detail pita dibelakangnya itu maniest sekalih..sukaa akooh :)

Hunting for Red Watches

Hiikkss...sedih deh gw, dari sekian banyak benda-benda berwarna merah yang telah gw punya (pameerr..pameer!), ternyata ada satu barang penting lain berwarna merah yang sampe saat ini belum gw punya..yaak, it's jam tangan meraah!

Secara selera jam tangan gw emang sedikit aga nyentrik, karena gw sukanya jam tangan model2 cowo yang notabene lingkarannya besar, diameternya besar, bertali kulit dan looks masculine. So type yang berblink-blink dengan gliter2 dan motif2 girly gitu udah pasti ga masuk kriteria jam tangan idaman gw.

Tapinyah yaa, biarpun gw prefer jam tangan ukuran besar, bukan berarti juga gw maksain yang ukurannya kaya pake jam dinding ditangan gitu laah, yah setidaknya gw juga musti tetep perhatiin size-balancingnya di tangan gw biar ga kelihatan gede ngasal. Dan dari beberapa jam tangan yg gw punya ples jajal2, sepertinya diameter min 42mm-44mm adalah ukuran yang paling pas buat gw.

Dan setelah sekian hari bersliwer-ria buka2 ratusan halaman, teeeteup ya booo gw gak nemu2 yang srek dihati. Giliran ada yang sizenya pas, eh modelnya kagak, kapan ada yang modelnya bajus, eh ukurannya mini bener (hadeuh) dan begitu seterusnya. Jadilah sampe sekarang gw masih tetep rajin browsing nyari2 yang pas dihati dan mudah2an pas dikantong (ga mau rugi).

Jam tangan dari Nautica ini bener2 jam idaman gw deeh, modelnya, talinya, chrononya..pas pas pas..bener2 jam impiaan..tapiiii jam ini udah gak ada yang jual lagiih, dan denger2 diameternya 46mm aja gituuh..hayaaaah..kegedongan boo -__- (padahal bajuss)

 

Dan ini adalah beberapa model lain yang gw sukkaa..tapi ya itu, si MJ kiri modelnya mah udah chakeps abiest-lah, gada kurang2nya, chrononya bagus, model talinya bagus (walopun bukan kulit), pokoe teopebegete. Taapiiii....sizenya cuman 40mm...mini beneer -__- (Masa musti gw rendem di minyak tanah dulu biar gede?! *eaaa). Trus si MK kanan, dalemannya oke, ukurannya oke, model talinya oke, tapi bahan talinya itu yang gak oke...it's made from rubber..hhmm..bukan ga bagus sih, cuma jdi gak pas aja jatuhnya ditangan gw, kelihatan bebel dan tebel, ga endees aah! Lastly si Fossil, model daleman dan tali semua2nya lumayan menarik, ukurannya juga pas..tapiii bahannya aluminium, gatel2 boo tangan ekeh *pengen digampar ga sih customer kek ginih!!!

Timbang puyeng2, apa gw beli yang indang aja yaa? Sizenya cukup 43mm, modelnya simple, basic and bertali kulit...tapi (haaah..another tapi??!) hasil baca sana-sini, katanya warnanya ga trully red masa?, jadi kaya neon coral gituh..isssh..bagus apah ditangan gw?! pantes gitu dikulit gw? ga terlalu gonjreng gituh? ga nyala2 norak gimna gituh? *ditimpukgelasdariujung

Puyeeeng..puyeng..puyeeng 0__o

So how bout you all? did you have a red watch? and what kind of red watch did you prefer or have?  Any idea where to find a good one? bagi2 penampakan doonk..sapah tau ada yang bisa saya pinjem gituuh ;p

Wishes - Make Up Brush

Honestly, gw suka berlenongan and to be frank i've been doing it since years ago. Emang sih koleksi eyeshadow beserta gank2nya belum secadas dan secanggih para suhu beauty blogger diluar sana tapi walopun cuma se-iprit, im quite proud with what i can do with it.

Namanya juga demen lenong, mustinya kan punya segala tetek-bengek yang bisa bikin hasil lenongan kita improve kan? betul begitu bukan?!! - bukaaan- *carryon, nah disaat beberapa orang nafsu mau belajar dan maju ples pingin improve dengan cara rajin liat tutorial, rajin liat review2, rajin praktek dan yang paling utama, rajin ngelengkapin tetek-bengek dunia perlenongan biar hasil latihan mereka jadi bagus...Gw justru TIDAK!

Tetek-bengek yang gw maksud disini adalah tool make up yang punya fungsi sama pentingnya dengan make-up itu sendiri. Dan tool spesifik itu bernama Brush aka Kuas, yups, kuas buat make-up. 

Selama ini gw selalu merasa ga perlu-perlu amat punya kuas bermacem-macem, gw sudah cukup puas punya kuas bawaan dari produknya dan gw selalu mengunderestimate kuas-kuas itu dan mengandalkan sepenuhnya pada kekuatan dan fungsi jari jemari ekeh..But I was DARN WRONG..BIG TIME! I didn't realize kalo ternyata kuas make up itu justru punya andil luar biasa penting didunia per-lenongan-an jagad raya!_zzzzzzz_

Lesson learned. Now setelah paham klo fungsi kuas itu penting, maka rajin-lah gw baca-baca mana kuas yang cucok buat nubie seperti sayah. Gw sih ga berharep punya sekaligus banyak (pasti bingung juga makenya), but atleast gw musti punya kuas basic yang berfungsi untuk 3 hal penting i.e. eyes, lips and face.

Based on article DISINI and  HERE plus Video HERE setidaknya gw harus, musti, punya eyeshadow brush, eyeliner brush, blended brush, blush brush and face brush..but seriously, after seeing these brushes..I think I want them all ^^.
