OOTD | Another plaid-ful day




Zara plaid shorts, Pieces grey sweater, Bershka kneehigh boots, Mango necklace

Another outfitpost with my Zara plaid shorts and kneehigh boots, but I couldn't help it! Especially since I got my driving license, the weather isn't really a big factor in my outfits anymore.. Courses are starting again and I'm feeling motivated to do this right! The coming week is still filled with fun stuff to do but I need to plan my free hours and study hours better this time and maybe this semester will be a little bit more stressfree.

Anyway, my first giveaway ever ended successfully! I wanted to thank all the participants and congratulate the winner. I will plan another giveaway soon! :)

NEW IN | Push & Move by OPI




I used to wear nail polishes a lot back in the days but now I just haven't got the time to actually remember putting it on. Yesterday I was buying a gift and came across this OPI nailpolish called "Push & Move", although I haven't bought any nailpolish above 3euros for such a long time. I knew it would be worth it. And after I tried it on I absolutely fell in love with it! It has this chrome look to it, making your outfit a bit more fabulous. The nailpolish comes with a small pot of polish for the base which you should apply first. After it dries you apply two thin coats of the "Push & Move" polish. You don't need to apply a top coat, it will probably lose that chromed mirror look to it. 

It claims to have a reflective mirror finish and it does but it's still a bit more chrome than mirror. You won't have the same effect a nail foil paper would give, so if you're looking more of that sort, you won't be happy with the OPI one. Another thing, the durability of this nailpolish is a bit disappointing. I don't know if it's me or just OPI nailpolishes but I can see cracks here and there within a hour or two. Maybe it's because the missing top coat but when I apply an Essie nailpolish without a top coat it's fine for a whole day. As for the price, OPI has to be one of the most expensive nailpolish brand out there, with a price of approximately 14 euros, which is on the expensive side compared to the quality. Besides this all, I'm still pleased with the results and would definitely wear it to a party, a small get-together or even on a daily basis. 

What do you think of this nailpolish? What brand nailpolish do you recommend?

PERSONAL | Five days in Stockholm


I tried to replicate the pictures I've seen in Stockholm - post here
I love alleys like this

Hej hej! I'm back from Stockholm and it was such a nice and wonderful experience. I loved everything about Stockholm! The people, the public transportation, the shops and the beautiful buildings. I loved how the people were so helpful and friendly in general. They say that Stockholm is the "Venice of the north" and I completely agree. Nara and I took about 8gb worth of shots in the past four days, so be warned for a lot of pictures coming! You can read below for a quick overview of the past days.

OOTD | Gong Xi Fat Cai!



ZARA pinstripe blazer, S'nob white blouse, ZARA plaid & lace short, Bershka kneehigh boots
Ok this is the best my Chinese could get. Happy Chinese new year! Now it's probably gonna be a surprise (sarcasm), but although I'm Indonesian I do have Chinese blood. My ancestors way back probably were Chinese who actually spoke Chinese. So why do I still celebrate Chinese New year?
Because it's fun! Who wouldn't want an excuse to eat yummy food and celebrate something? My favorite thing to do is probably reading Chinese horoscopes about what's in store for me this year.. It's weird because I'm not a vast believer for zodiac things but a lot actually really match the person (chinese zodiac) and it's just fun. This year is the year of the horse and as a monkey I should be having a stable year.. Hope it will stay that way. You can look yours up here.
What's your Chinese zodiac sign? 


Now onto my outfit, I didn't really have time to really dress up for the occasion because I had to run some errands first and pack for my trip to Stockholm! I'm wearing my new Zara blazer and short. I wanted to buy this blazer fully priced but I'm glad that I waited and bought this for 30euros. The short was such a bargain, 10 euros, and I was tempted to buy more prints but I held back! At first I didn't know if I liked the combination of shorts and kneehigh boots but I kinda like it now, it certainly made me feel a lot warmer.

I'm writing this while I'm supposed to be finishing packing and it's already 3:30AM.. But I wanted to say goodbye first before I'm heading up north. I'd probably have WiFi there but I won't be bringing my laptop. You can follow me on Instagram though if you want to know where I'm at!
