KIMONO IN BRUSSELS X OUTFIT OF THE DAY

Not so often i have seen anyone here dare to wear something different than just a normal ordinary outfit when they going out. But what i have seen often, youngsters over here are always follow the trend. As an example, Kimono ready to wear is now actually one of the hottest trend of the season. We can get it just easily from any stores such as Zara, New Look, Pull and Bear and etc. They have came from a lots of different fabrics, styles, design, colour and prints too. It is interesting isn't it??

Well, those kimono are almost the same. The designed has been altered and has been adjusted based on the market trend and somehow for me when i saw those photos, there are not much left of kimono identity anymore. So that is how i ended up myself of not buying any of those kimono. I know somehow i also have to adapt to the current situation, but in this case i cannot. I have to much respect to the country and their culture.

Julien Sanders Shop is the shop who responsible of making one of my dream came through. Yes based on his explanation the other the kimono i have been purchased from him is originally came from Japan. It was little bit costly (€42) but for the original kimono imported from Japan, it worth the value. It was a semi half kimono and i know myself with the body size i had, i can simply turn that kimono into a dress. Here are some of the photos that Briceguiho managed to make for me. As you can see he make a really beautiful pictures. In case you need a photographer for your event like wedding, anniversary dinner, or any other kind of event you can contact him through his Instagram. (Click the link)

PLACE DE BROUCKERE X OUTFIT OF THE DAY

As you see from the photos I've made the other day.. Is a city without cars! Can you imagine that? Yes!! Brussels is almost like that. Some parts of the main road has already been closed permanently and it became part of a recreation centre where peoples can just walk/seating/picnicking or even playing ping pong on the street. Actually not just that, sometimes i can also see street dancer, painter, musician doing their performances in the middle of the street. In my eyes, city life like this is just perfect. Less noise, calm and even good for ecology system.  

So, lets talk about the outfit I've worn the other day. Its a maxi dress I've purchased few weeks ago from river island and its cost me only €18 (After discount). Haha you know me i am a discount girl. It came in red color and of coz red is also another part of my favourite colour. I transformed this maxi dress into casual wear with my Adidas Stan Smith sneakers and also my Delvaux pin cross body handbag. I make more easy for myself to walk and move to another area quicker. You may find another look formal look with the same dress I'm going to wear on my coming next post.

ETRA LESS KILO SPRING OUTFIT PART 1

Hahaha.. never finished with this less kilo stuff.. hahah but as i know living in Europe.. sometimes in 1 day  can have some many different type of weather. Heavy rain in the morning, then in the afternoon turn out to be sunny and then in the evening is snowing.. aihhhh i always have to worry about what i have to put on.. this and that.. arghhhh..so headache.. But as of today, wow!!! it was full of surprise!! I woke up early in the morning and yeahhhh.. Finally!! 10 degree or maybe many more!! spring sunny day weather again. So I've freshen up, and choosing the best outfit i can put on. Dress up, tidy up, make up, and then.. Haha of coz picture of my outfit. Thanks to my hubby... he willing to help me with it.

I myself preferred to dress up in simple, but yet trendy, chic and stylish. I loves being feminine whenever i dress up but then i always trying not to have that much look because i think sometimes being girly and feminine is little to aging and boring. As an example dress with pair of high heel..ahhhh is boring and conservative.. So i trying to keep those element and mixing it up with my casual of life style differently.

As per image below, there some of my outfit that u might like and inspired. It doesn't have to be the same as what i had, and u just have to know and play with mix and match. Some of the link i show later u might interested to look at!! happy browsing all!!

Decided myself to play dress up with:

Sandal :Birkenstock gizeh
Handbag : dkny quilt leather flap (Is almost similar to mine)
Statement necklace : claires
Perfect combination of all the item ive pick up from each different store!!

MY DIY PINK MAFIA STRAIGHT CUT DRESS VS MY BRUSSELS FASHION DAYS OUTFIT OOTD

Previously 3 weeks ago I've told myself, 1000 followers on instagram then only i will write a new entry on my blog!! Until then yes!!! I thought is been almost a month without any update here and fuhh!! what a journey!! and my followers on Instagram is reach 1k yesterday!! I am so happy, glad and thankful! One of the reason  because most of my new followers are Belgian!  Yes perhaps i can make new contact more with local people over here. Thousand thanks to all my followers in there who keep supporting by following, liking as well commenting every picture i have put in there.

Btw let's talk about the topic eh! as in the title above!LOL! Hahah!! What not to be proud when i am myself, imagining, cutting, designing, tailoring, sewing and wearing my own entire DIY outfit. Obviously it
was also my first experience designing a dress and it's so lucky me because it turn out pretty good! This dress i am specially made for myself to attend Brussels fashion Days last month.

Usually straight cutting dress are the most easiest outfit to design. This is because the length between the shoulder, and from shoulder to the waist is the only part that u have to concern more during the measurement process or sometimes it doesn't have to be at all. It's all depends on what u want and need. But in my case, yes!! i do care in some part. Believe it or not! i did cut this dress without any pattern! Just some measurement on my shoulder to chest part, and from my chest part to my waist area. That it! It was a battle and in case if is wouldn't turn good, i bought extra fabrics! Haha..

It took me one whole day non stop to prepare this outfit. Some part as usually i hand sewing, The most special part in the collar area where i have mix some of my Malay culture tradition ethnic hand embroidery it call jahit mata lalat. (thanks to my mum who thought me how to do this on my previous life) 5hrs i spend my time just for that. Its crazy isn't it? But again in my another perception? Why not? I am fashion lover and for me real fashionista sometimes have to know how to design, tailor and sewing their own outfit..

How i defined myself when i wore this outfits?? Phewww it's hard to say... when i have to make my own judgement about my own outfit. But i received comment from the instagrammers (those who saw me during that event) mentioning 'super stylish'... and etc. Anyway i am not gonna talk much and i just wanna let all this picture speaks some words for me.

Picture taken last week in the studio by my usual favourite photographer Bram. After all! It was a great experience! hahah! from designing till photo shooting i am feeling like i am a real designer. I hope u guys enjoy every picture i have upload here. I am looking forward for my another post in my next coming soon Christmas/new year project! and hey next time is being duo! Stay tune guys!! xx
