After a long hiatus of writing in blog, here I am now writing a new review...

I will review beautiful sneakers I just bought few weeks ago, it's Nike Air Max Thea Joli. It is laser cut leather sneakers comes in beautiful basic colors. I bought the all white and black-white one. I decided to buy both because it sits beautifully in my feet. I've been crazy about monochrome lately, most of my items now are in black, grey and white. This shoes are perfect addition of my collections.

This sneakers can be a beautiful running shoes as well your fashion items for casual look. It is very edgy as well sophisticated. The cushion just like the other Air Max series which are very comfortable. The interior is sock-soft so that it won't do any harm to your skin. For your suggestions, buy the perfect fit size of this shoes because you don't need any socks and there is a possibility of scuff on your feet due to loose part on the back of the shoes if it's unfit.

To sum up, I will give following scores to this sneakers (score range is 1-10):

• Comfort    : 8/10
• Style         : 10/10
• Durability : 8/10

  Thanks for reading, hope it helps for anyone who wants to buy this pair of shoes. I highly recommend you to have at least a pair of this shoes  <3

Hello everyone, this will be my second post of bag review. In this time, the bag that I will review is Hermès Garden Party Bag.


First of all, I'm having a vintage Garden Party with D square stamp. It means it's produced in year 2000. The bag still sits beautifully when I wear it and didn't loss its beauty at all even though it has been 15 years old. It is in dual color, beige and dark brown or called natural toile with palladium hardware. Here are some pictures of the bag.

You can style it with scarf or twilly :)

You can open the side buttons to widen the bag

And here are some of my #ootd pictures with the bag. I'm wearing Zara clothes, Hermès Garden Party Bag and Charlotte Olympia Kitty Flats.

From 1-10 range, I would give this bag 9 for the classy look, 8 for durability and 6 for price. For the care, you can use leather cleaner and moisturizer for the leather. As for the canvas you should bring it to professional bag experts to give the canvas some cleaning.  Moreover, this version is also used by Reese Witherspoon and she spotted used it many times.

Hope this review helps you when you are considering to buy a Garden Party Bag. Have a nice weekend! :)


P.S.: I also sell my old stuffs on Instagram, follow my garage sale account : @fabgaragesale 
all items are authentic in a very affordable price <3

It's weekend and I have spare time to post another post , yay!

In my country, Indonesia, the number of middle-class and affluent consumers are significantly increasing over the time (Boston Consultancy Group, 2013). Even it is predicted that Indonesia will be 7th largest economy by 2030. Yes, of course there are huge differences between current condition and last decade. 

Indonesians are well-known for the high consumption rate. Even nowadays it is very common we found Indonesians in other countries just want to shop and hunt branded stuffs. Along with the brand consciousness in the society, the social gap among Indonesians is getting larger. However, seems that people are misunderstood about having the luxury brands stuffs.

There are three types of luxury brands consumer as I observed. 

1. People who like to show their branded stuffs off so that society will see them as the top tier of "social league"

2. People who are obsessed with branded stuffs that celebrity owns

3. People who adore the design and art of man-craft items and buy it as a reward for their hard work.

 Even though the purpose is different, mostly the society judge these people as one solid perspective "show-off spoiled people who don't care about their surroundings". In my opinion, it is a very mean judgement. Furthermore, in fact we don't have any right to judge people. There is a quote said "Every single person on the Earth has their own story. Don't judge people before you truly know them, the story might surprise you".  Despite of that, in my opinion, it is not wrong to own luxury brand. The important thing is we have to be wise. For me, a balance should be done. Wear appropriate clothing based on where you are. Don't bring your Hermes bag to a tree planting event and get mad when there is a mud on your bag. Don't over spoiled yourself, also remember that there are many people out there needs your help. As for people who like to judge people out there, don't waste your time to talk about other people. You have to use your time more wise, improve yourself, broaden your perspective and be open minded. My point here is BALANCE and WISE. 

As a bag collectors (as well a footwear collector), I like to review things I have, so that I could share the beauty of craftsmanship and design. It's not about obsession and it's not about the amplifier for the social status. I have few items coming up to be reviewed soon. Hope that you guys find it helping and can use it as reference to buy things you want :)

XOXO,

Hey there, so this will be my first review post. It has been few weeks from my Introduction post but here we go...

As I mentioned to all of you, I like Japanese designers due to their unique signature design, one of them is Issey Miyake. The Baobao bag was one of the most prestigious products and a must have item! I owned this bag for 2 years now, and there is no flaw of its performance. The care of the bag is also easy, you don't need to have routine bag spa or else, just wipe it with smooth cloth and voila.. It appears just like new.

Here are some pictures of my Baobao bag. Well, it's just the basic black one, but everything basic can fit in every season right?  Yeah. This bag is absolutely will be one of my all time favorite bag!

This is the 10x10 panels size, you can put many things inside; iPad, wallet, Tab, everything. But remember, don't put too heavy stuffs! However, it is such a beautiful bags, I love how the bag reflects the light, it is just so beautiful. And yeah, this bag will add some magic to your #ootd photos! Here are some photos of me using this bag.

 For the price is about $6xx, but it is worth the price I suppose, due to the complex craftsmanship and design itself.

P.S. Don't buy fakes! Appreciate the designer :)

Well that's all my review today. Hope it helps to some of you who needs the information about this bag.

XOXO,
Khara
