Accessories Haul ft. Grosir Fashion Online

Happy August everyone!!!

I know I've been away in the blogging society for a while, especially in July. I was bit overwhelmed by my work, as well as I'm currently working on something exciting with my friend. Hopefully, I could share the news to you all in this  month (finger crossed!!)

Though I've been busy these days, I got chance to make online purchases at Grosir Fashion Online. I'm sure a lot of you have heard of or even visit the website. I did notice this website for quite a while ago, but have never visit the website directly. Then, until last month when I was looking for a good website for accessories, I came across to this website again.  I was so excited when I saw many varieties of accessories in the affordably cheap price. Personally, I do try to save more for the seasonal and casual accessories. I was quite skeptical for the quality at first, since the way how universe works is that cheap price doesn't guarantee the good quality. However, I've read good comments by the buyers after their purchases through the website. I was like what the heck I'll never know if don't try to buy. Then, I decided to trust the comments and go ahead to buy some that I like.

Without being sponsored by the company or other business purposes, I just want to share my honest experience shopping with them. I decided to show you what I managed to get from them (sounds like a mini accessories haul).

Top: Earrings and Ring
Middle: Bracelets
Bottom: Necklaces

What do I like about this online shop?

1. They offer many varieties of accessories, practically in different price ranges.

2. Absolutely the PRICE... totally affordable wholesale price. 

3. User friendly website. It is really easy to navigate and follow the process from submitting your order, checking the stock, finalizing the payment, until the shipment.

4. Although the price is relatively cheap, the quality is not bad at all. For example, the spike bracelet was under Rp 25.000, but the quality is pretty good and such a sturdy piece. When you see it in person, it actually doesn't look that cheap. 

Possible downside???

1. Since it offers a lot of varieties, you could be confused to choose the pieces. My suggestion is to sort the category you want by your preference. I do personally sort it by best seller, since it's normally shown the favorite pieces.

2. Aside from the varieties, I would say their stock quantity is quite plenty. Hence, sometimes you might find other people is also wearing the same pieces as yours. Luckily, so far I've just seen the same pieces as mine only on celebrity in television.

3. You should be patient if you ordering by this website because you should wait around 2 weeks to get the pieces (namely pre-order). And I was actually impressed that they actually shipped my order exactly within 2 weeks time. Otherwise, if you are in hurry to wear the pieces, probably you should look at their other website, Grosir Fashion Online.NET with ready stock options. 

If you are looking for trendy statement accessories and happen to live in Indonesia, I suggest you to take a look at this website. Overall, I'm really pleased with the services, prices and products of this online shop.

Have you ever purchased from them?? If not, where is your favorite place to buy accessories???

Trends I'm Lovin'

Hi my lovelies,

Today I wanna share the summer fashion trends I'm really loving these days. I managed to get some clothing pieces that I thought fits in my style yet trendy. So, lets jump to all pieces I got:

Floral prints

I can easily say that I'm really into the floral prints this summer. It looks so feminine and make easy outfit for summer without trying so hard. You could easily pair it with simple colored pants or skirts.

Pastel colors

Pastel color trend is very IN this spring and summer. It always inspires me to look more elegant, feminine, yet any occasion appropriate. 

• Top Left: Sheer floral print shirt (N.y.L.a)
• Top Right: Sheer floral peach pastel tank (N.y.L.a)
• Bottom Left: Tribal print high-low tank (N.y.L.a) -

Tribal prints

Tribal print trend got the season's spotlight. I saw a lot of celebrities play with this trend through their outfits. For me, it is kind of a fun and cool statement clothing in my summer wardrobe.  I like how the pattern offers a more playful and modern alternative.

Bright / neon colors

Neon is everywhere... I'm having fun play with all bright colors. The colors simply brighten up my mood. I know wearing bright colors could be tricky for some people. Therefore, I wanna share my recent finding article on tips how to wear neon colors. Hope it helps you with some useful information :)

Colored Jeggings

Cobalt Blue Jegging (local boutique)

I have been talking a lot about colors lately. Surely, one thing that I wouldn't miss in the fashion is the colored jeggings. I got mine in the cobalt blue color, a key color of the season. Though, it looks away darker in the photos. 
I love to put on jeggings because it's lighter than jeans and thicker than leggings. For me, jeggings have the perfect thickness that I feel comfortable wearing it. 

Colored Cork Wedges

Versatile yet easily wearable. Wedges are a great alternative to look stylish for summertime. I got one in royal blue color, since I love this color and a great additional pop of color for my overall outfit.

If you wanna feel comfy going around for summer holiday without any blisters, definitely flip flops is the best option. You could find the sparkly one with the rhinestones or glitters to get the chic look at the same time. 

Lastly, please don't hesitate to leave me a comment of what your favorite fashion trend are right now??

Tips: Let's Color Our Days!!

Hi all my lovelies,

I'm truly excited to share this post with all of you.  As seen from the title, this post will talk all about colors. 

Since last year, color blocking regains its popularity in the fashion industry. It basically means when an overall outfit is composed by finite blocks of color. I found it's a bit tricky at first, as I don't want to look overdone and unflattering on me. But I know there will always be a secret to tackle it. Since it is about color, surely we must know about the color itself. And yes, that's the secret... the knowledge of color scheme theory. You might find a lot information about color scheme over the internet. This theory is really a big help for you when deciding which color gonna goes together. 

That's why I want to summarize it for you. So let's just get start with this basic color wheel!!!

There are three primary colors: Red-Blue-Yellow. 

Combining blue-yellow, yellow-red, or red-blue could be two tones alternative    

Cool colors are those colors between violet & yellow-green

Warm colors are those colors between yellow & red-violet 

My favorite one is complementary colors, which basically using two colors directly across/at the opposite side.

example: Yellow (primary color) - Violet (secondary color); 

                       Yellow-green (tertiary color) - Red-violet (tertiary color)

Analogous colors are three colors in the same/ similar category. You could simply just pick three touching hues.

Example 1: Blue-green; Blue; Blue-violet are three hues from Blue category

Example 2: Yellow-green; Yellow; Yellow-orange are three hues from Yellow category    

Example 3: Red-orange; Red,; Red-violet are three hues from Red category    

Picking triadic colors is a three tones option. Triadic colors are basically three evenly spaced colors. At above illustration, I use a triangle shape to pick those three colors. Actually it turns out that all three primary colors will go together (blue,yellow,red), as well as the secondary colors (green,orange,violet). To make it not over color blocked, you could choose one of them as the main color and the other two simply as the accent colors.

A skinny Y shape colors, named it as split-complementary colors. Just as you could see, you just pick three colors where Y letter pointed. Similar to triadic colors, I normally use one color as the basic and the other two for complements. For example, I choose yellow shirt (primary color) as the base and blue-violet or red-violet (tertiary colors) for the accessories. 

Even though you love this trend, sometimes it doesn't always suitable for your lifestyle in real. Some of you might have a job in the place where you only could wear neutral colors. But don't worry, here is the solution! You still could experiment with colorful accents, such as color blocked handbags, shoes, jewelries, scarves, or other accessories. You might find tons of this trend in the retail stores. 

Lately, I wear a lot more colorful clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories, and nail polish. I especially adore pastels and neon colors, which are really big trend for this spring and summer. I realize that colors could be my mood booster, especially in the early morning before go to work. By seeing all the colors, it simply brighten my days. 

I suggest you all should try this trend out! I also hope above explanation could assist you all to be more confident to play with colors. So, let's add some pop of color throughout our days!!! Don't forget also to share your impression in the comment below!! xoxo...

Amour,
