the unfinished business

Greetings!

About a week ago, T - our Fashion Stylist / Director - paid a visit to a Batik Exhibition and Workshop in Indonesia. She went to the exhibition to earn more knowledge about Indonesian batik (which is apparently very broad). From her: "It was a pleasure meeting Mr. Rusydi a Madurese batik artisan and Mrs. Indra who was my lecturer back in uni who is now aside of teaching she is also an encourager at Mbatikyuuk - an Indonesian independent organisation which purpose is to spread the words about Indonesian batik."

T also went to a batik workshop which was held by Mbatikyuuk. She tried to draw her own batik pattern and wanted to make an actual batik material ready to use to create a garment. But unfortunately, she was not able to finish the process because of her tight schedules... Oh well! From her: "My magic touch didn't work! It was very difficult to put the wax on the fabric. And I would need to draw on both sides of the fabric. It surely is very intricate and time-consuming. Guess for now I better off designing the ready materials."

high-end bohemian rules

“Fashion has to reflect who you are, what you feel at the moment, and where you are going.

It does not have to be bright, does not have be loud. Just has to be you.” x - BB

Speaking about Bohemian style, it is about being comfortable in your own skin and showing the world who you are and what you are all about.

Bohemian style was inspired by the hippie movement in the 60s (reference: Stye Blondie blog. where are you girl?) and all that you need to have the so-called bohemian look is first to have a carefree attitude, lay back, and be creative.

The secret to look truly bohemian is to mix up and enjoy! Play with necklaces, rings, bracelets, bangles, belts, bags, head-piece and whatnot. Boots are the best piece if you aim for the absolute boho comfort or definitely go with heels to have a more of a high end look (it's not a sin if we are heels lovers, we certainly can still pull it off!).

Rule of thumb: You must put yourself above the bar when it comes to choosing accessories.

Go mad and free with colourful pieces (if you'd like) or stay clean with the earthy colours!

Last but not least, you need to know that be it a laid-back boho style or a dressed-up one, beads and gemstones totally rule the bohemian world! The Olsen twins, Nicole Richie, and supermodel Kate Moss would say so.

sheer elegance in its simplicity

Spring is here! And the biggest social event on the calendar is rocking the ground of Victoria. But.. "social event"? maybe we should say "fashion event" instead. We love the royal look of Kate Middleton's. Elegance in simplicity, ultimate look for a racing carnival. xo - BB
