spring-summer 09 mixings

1. day on - day off
blazer is the perfect cover up for any occasion! you can wear this outfit anytime you want: to school, to work, or even hang out at mall. just remember that black dress and grey blazer would look boring if paired with monochromes. pick a bright tote and an edgy heels and get ready to look perfect



2. stylized me day
body-con skirt+loose top combo will flatter on every body type. eyes on the nude colored strapped heels!



3. get ready to shine
grab your old boring cut offs and spray it gold or silver! pair it with black outfit to let it 'lead' the ensemble, and a classic brown bag would create the today's look.



4. cool breeze
nothing more i can say: this outfit raawks!



5. travel forward and back
futuristic. nowadays. playful. simple. stylish. cool

forgive me..

forgive me for long time no update.. i've been so busy (uh huh) in the last months, though i always have fresh mix and match ideas rushing through my head. now i'm back to this blog and i promise everyone to keep on posting from now on..


by the way, visit my new blog: nipaandwrite.blogspot.com

very inspiring

loving these guys' styles. go steal em!


beautiful guy beautifully catchy
yea, too much rock n rolla won't kill you. i love the way this guy wear his clothes altogether soo soo soo much!



big buckle works
why does this guy look so cool? what's so differet in his outfit? it's the blazer and the scarf and of course the big belt.



little bragger
roll your cuffs and show off the boots!

steal em

some great ideas for your daily style dose. stolen from down the streets out there.



stick some studs on your clothes for a simple boyish touch on your feminime look and work an oversize clutch. this still looks rare.


a harem pants works best with a fitted top. if you wear the cropped length one, pair it with booties and minimize the accesoires.


sling a big printed shirt over your plain and too normal outfit on a don't-know-what-to-wear day.


ponco, short pants, and boots. altogether equals a fun winter-greater style.

can toast

formal vs informal clash is just so in. pair some playful stuffs like the bright color sweater and the colorful watch, the checkered shirt and sneakers with a formal tailor pants.

patrick staar

a blazer won't look formal if you wear it with t-shirt and an opened check shirt (over the t-shirt) under it. be sure the color of the t-shirt and the shirt is lighter than the color of the blazer. put on a cropped tailor pants and a color boots for some fresh spice ups.

jump and stay warm

a short and loose black jumpsuit paired with a big grey knit cardigan and a stand out metallic belt look fresh altogether.

new mixings for guys

here comes the all new mixings for all the boys out there


1. boring top down cool
well, i do think that this mix is a bit boring. to avoid the boredom to your outfit, just slip on a cool bright shoes, a cool bag and unique printed tshirt



2. festival goer
try a hi waist shorts, a good printed tshirt, unique sling bags and a colorful scarf around your neck. you'll instantly look playful.

new mixings after long rest

okay.. sorry that i didn't update this blog for long time. here i'm back again with new mixings! hope you like em..



1. quirky formal
what more can i say? this mix is perfect for a semi formal to formal nights. since the whole things seem to look old, take on a cute sequined kitty head formed cross body bag and colorful necklace



2. edgy trashy grunge
fake fur is so in again. we gotta wear it with short and thin clothes cause it will seem to be too much if you pair it with a thick or long things. so i paired the fur vest with a broken white long sleeve shirt, short jeans, lace tights and a black bag. i put the hi light on the shoes. don't forget to choose fake fur! no animals should be victimed for fashion!


3. that colorful lady rock chic
to represent a rock chic style doesn't have to be all black cause then it'd be some kind of fake (if you're not a real rock listener). choose a few rock style trademark pieces like, in this case (and the easiest way to represent this), a leather pants and a studded belt/accesoire. pairing em with black heels would be the safest and easiest way to come out big. i love this mix, it's cool yet feminime and colorful.



4. winter garden girl
pair your mini dress with an extra long vest. okay, the purple outerwear is not a real vest, it's a dress. look for a full buttoned dress or cut the forder side of a dress. the necklace is cute, choose one in the similar tone as your apparels and keep your accesoires simple. put on a fedora for a girly cool final touch.



5. a bit maturity shows
semi formal. i love the shoes, its color block is juicy. and pay attention on the flower corsage pinned on the blazer (anyway, can you find it?), i predict corsages are the next big trend. overall, i just could say, this one mix is a bit more mature. but does every 'real' style should look mature?!



6. good girl quirky inside
a bright color tshirt and a b/w full printed skirt plus stand out necklaces paired altogether are way quiky. but the coat and related toned accesoires simplify the ensemble. cute but though

every closets must haves

with these things, you will never look out of date or messy. these are the basics items you must own:




1. stripes t-shirt
what's amazing about this shirt, is that you can pair it with anything and you'll definitely look casually cool. the black and white stripes is the best choice.




2. white top
the classic white color will make you look simply beautiful. be sure you have at least a white t-shirt, a white tank top, a white shirt and a white sleeveless top with ruffle details.





3. necklace
2 kinds for all. one gold or silver neclace with a classic pendant for any kind of occasion and one in a bold color that'll add some 'color' to your plain outfit.




4. cardigan
for any simple cover ups during the cold days




5. little black dress
you only need one for all occasion. cause you can re-wear em with different styles.




6. scarf
this one accesory can be transformed into a cool bandana or a simple knot on your neck and also on your bags.



7. blue jeans
enough said. blue jeans are the best!



8. black pants
choose the tight one, like leggings or skinny black pants for an easy match friend to any kind of your outfit. from simple t-shirts to short dresses




9. flat shoes
a pair of flat shoes will make your style simply cool yet stylish.




10. tote bag
a classic big tote bag that's enough to keep all the thigs for your classes or for a shopping day out and even for a semi formal occasions and a date



11. shorts
to make any boring top you wear looks more casual stylish

men to work

well, this seems like kinda business man huh? but, well, i added some casual stuffs so that this becomes more wearable for everyday dose. like the jeans. any jeans will make your outfit looks sassy. and for the shoes, i recommend all formal-going guys to grab your chucks instead of
smart shoes or any other sneakers. why? because it just makes you instantly 'funky" (okay, funky is the worst word to describe, i didn't come to any better word. but i hope you know what i mean). wearing a knitted vest under your tux will get you out of the shirt boredom. yes, it's just boring.
the bag is goorgeous, this is the hottest item you just gotta have by now. and the watch is what the total look needs for a masculine final touch.

dress up normally.. plus plus!

this time on street founds.. two ladies with basic stuffs, but worn so differently so it's just become a 'cant-take-my-eyes-off' look. though, noone would really keep his eyes on em there. whoa, wish i could have the freedom to wear my fashion experiments anywhere i want..

right pict: a white baby doll worn under a tartan shirt and... a pair of arm warmer! cool. and the skinny tie makes the outfit even cooler.

left pict: wait.. is that a jumpsuit that the girl on the pic wears? well, it looks like a simple wide legs.. well, the nude blazer balanced the bright pants and the scarf worked best to add some motives to the all plain outfit.

little girl's grandma cardigan

what should i say? this outfit is gorgeous. it's actually cuter when it's worn without cardigan, but i just wanna make it look a bit different. the skirt has a bit dull motive so you can put some striking accesoires. i chose the necklaces and the gold skull ring (i love em both). a simple vintage tote works best with em all cause it's already 'full' on top.

time machines

all-vintaged-up. it's like the guys on the pics say: "welcome to the 70's!". okay, at least the two guys on the top picts would say that..

description:

top left: simple. and nothing more to say. this is just simply stylish
top right: very retrooo
bottom left: bold printed shirt steals everyone's attention, so it doesn't need any help from its friends to make the outfit more eyecatching
bottom right: bold houndstooth jacket is just so right for a comfortable vintage feeling

basics work best

i put basic stuffs altogether, and it somehow work like wonders. well, okay, i can't say this is one of my best mix yet. this isn't even really good. but if you really don't know what to wear, but hate it to look really normal (by wearing tshirt and pants), this mix is just perfect. anyway, i love the shoes!

city hunter

let the green checkered jacket be the look point and let any other piece monotone. simple. but i should say, this is a 'normal-but-posh' way for a cold day out at the city. the big post man bag does give a differently cool twist.

guys' fashion math

stripes tshirt tucked in red short pants + checkered shirt as outer wear + oxford shoes + trucker cap + glasses + metal watch + simple postman bag equals a modern vintage casual look!
guys, i reminded you not to worry to wear red pants. red pants just look juicy with b/w stripes tshirt. to make it look neutral, wear only dark colors. that blue shirt neutralize the red color. oxford shoes add the vintage point and those other accesoires give the total look a modern tipical
boyish touch..

overall for all

overall buat cowok ga kampring kok. kia cuma harus tahu gimana cara nge-mix-nya. denim overall best matched with red tartan shirt, but you'll look like a farmer if you only wear it that way without adding any other things. the easiest way to make it up is to wear a black hoodie. you can roll the cuffs a couple times so you can show off a bit your boots (cool boots!). pake jam tangan yang maskulin biar semuanya keliatan lebih modern. tas yang paling bagus buat dipaduin is this kind of big vintage handbag/tote. handbag kaya gitu bukan buat cewek ajah, tapi juga cocok banget buat cowok yang seneng keliatan sophisticated dan smart.

boudouir ruffles

waow, that ruffle top is just soooooo gorgeous! tapi karena itu udah berkesan sedikit formal, dipasangin sama hi-waist shorts aja. hi-waist short emang paling bagus dipaduin sama brokenwhite no sleeves shirts/tops. tapi semua perpaduan warnanya harus dibiarin seminimalis mungkin jadi pake tas yang designya simple dan warnanya netral. kalo mau pake accesoires lain pilih gelang atau anting (cukup 1 diantara itu aja) 1 biji sama big sunnies. buat alas kaki boleh sedikit nge-warna, paling bagus sih warna-warna berries gitu. dan bagusnya emang pake sendal..

steal 'em from down the streets

i chose 4 of my current favorites..

top left:
this girl definitely work all second hands, except the shoes probably. but that second-hand-ensemble equals a trashy cool look.

top right:
full skirt with a studs belt.. whoa, love it!

bottom left:
the jeans vest she wear over her sun dress and the boots makes her look seems tougher.

bottom right:
the simplest way to look 80's-fun-stylish

trashy yet smart

that animal printed cardigan creates a real trashy look. it's like distorting anything else you wear but still make you look cool. well, you just gotta be really tricky by mix it all together. we got all mixed up on top, now go neutralize em by wearing faded short jeans and black shoes+opaques and also a big deep brown bag.

stuffs that'll make you instantly stylish

coba perhatiin celeb yang sering dijadiin panutan fashion atau disebut-sebut sebagai trendsetter kaya kirsten dunst, olsen twins, alexa chung, rachel bilson, mischa barton, nicole richie, bahkan kate moss. sebenernya apa yag mereka pake tuh kadang ga terlalu kreatif dan ga terlalu aneh. bahkan sangat simpel. seringnya mereka make satu item yag stand out dipaduin sama kaos putih plus short jeans doang. itu artinya mereka kurang berani ambil resiko sama penampilan mereka dan selalu pengen 'aman' biar ga dibilang bad dressed. that means, to be stylish you don't need to buy all fetish stuffs with extra money to spend. these are normal stuffs that'll make you instantly stylish:




1. loose white t-shirt
kaos ekstra longgar yang bahannya tipis ini lagi digandrungin banget sama those quirky trendsetter (not those fetish A-listers) kaya Lou Doilon, Coco Sumner dan Zoe Kravitz. go for plain or simple printed.




2. short cut off jeans
any shorts will make you stylish at once. no matter which kind of top you pair with it. tapi jeans bekas yang dipotong sendiri pake gunting sepaha trus dibiarin ada fringe-nya will make you more stylish. like a bit messed-up stylish.




3. black short converse
the effect, when you wear anything with a black short converse, is like 'look, i'm a boyish girl. don't ever mess up with me'. and that's good.




4. post man bag in black or brown
this just go with anything but still adds a plus poin to your total look.





5. bangles
forget your necklace. let all eyes on your wirst.
