HP OfficeJet All-in-one Series

Hanzky in Advertorial, Technology — September 8th, 2008 (331 views / Print this article )

Just a random mumbling to share what I went through the other day. It’s not about fashion or beauty or anything but I’m a sucker for everything in one products from all-in-one makeup palettes or multifunction Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge to two-in-one shampoo and conditioner and so many other things. Using these all-in-one products can simplify the job I need to do, minimize the effort, time and space consumed, they are just a life saver to any modern being..:D

The product that I’m going to introduce here is HP OfficeJet all-in-one series. At first, I didn’t think I need a printer/scanner/fax/copier at home. After all, my neighborhood is swamped with Warnet in every corner, I can just easily ask someone in my house to hop in there and do whatever I need to do. Until a few days ago, when I urgently needed to print out some documents, I first went to the nearest Warnet only to find out that it is full, there’s no available station to use, even only for a three minutes use. So off I went to the second one that is just two blocks away. Turned out, that one doesn’t have a printing machine. The third one I visited did have a printer, but it ran out of the colored inks…..yikes. Finally, I found the Warnet with working (and equipped with colored ink) and has a vacant computer station at the fourth one. Too bad I couldn’t print the document right away because the computer was off, the guy had to turn it on and I had to wait in front of a dusty computer until everything is fully loaded. Fast forward 30 minutes later, I got my 9 pages print out, paid the Rp. 5000 printing fee and walked out of the Warnet. Now you get the point, it was time-consuming and I’ve wasted unnecessary effort.

JFW: Shoes Roundup

Hanzky in JFW 2008, Shoes — September 8th, 2008 (371 views / Print this article )

Aside from the clothes and the makeup, the shoes are another entertaining aspect to watch for. The shoes can easily be categorized into four different style; wedges, gladiators, the strappies (t-strap, ankle strap) and the evening or prom style shoes from Rotelli, you know the kind, they are usually made from satin and have stone embellishments. I don’t have picture of the last style as I don’t see them as anything special.

Since this post is the last post of the Jakarta Fashion Week series, we would like to thank Femina Group to create (and invited us) to such event, and congratulate them for a job well done. Looking forward to a more exciting JFW next year!!.

New York Fashion Week (NYFW) officially started on Friday, September 5th and will last till September 12th, 2008. It’s one of the busy month in the fashion industry, as several designers will be showing their latest collections of Spring 2009 at the famous Tent in Bryant Park and several locations around New York. Now that I no longer do styling anymore, I definitely would miss working in the backstage or even replacing my ex-editor boss to see some shows =( But no worries, purplerebel and I are planning to hit the streets around Bryant Park and New York City to capture some street styles around and during the fashion week, in which should be as exciting as the runway shows at NYFW =p. After all, most of the shows would always be available at STYLE.COM and accessible to everyone everywhere! To see its complete schedule, click here. *Btw, do you like this year’s logo? obviously trying to coincide with the US election this year I assume =p

The Foodie Notes

Koukla in Fragrance — September 5th, 2008 (322 views / Print this article )

“Wow, you smell like cupcakes!” exclaimed one taxi driver a few years ago when I was rushing somewhere and wanted to touch up my perfume yet the only thing I could find in my handbag was a Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar body spray. Other times, I spent the entire day sniffing my nose because I thought I smelled fruit tart, when in fact it was my co-worker who was wearing Jennifer Lopez Live perfume!

Thanks to the increasing popularity of gourmand fragrances, we can now smell those delectable scents without having to run to the nearest bakery!

The commonly accepted definition of gourmand fragrances is any perfume that contain “edible” notes such as chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, bread, rice pudding, pink pepper, caramel, coffee, almond, wheat, liquorices and many more. The first gourmand fragrance was the phenomenal Angel by Thierry Mugler. The fashion designer wanted to create a fragrance that smells “mouth-watering and tasty” that reminds him of his childhood. The perfumer, Oliver Cresp, then whipped up a mixture of Bergamot, Jasmin, red currant, dewberry, honey, patchouli, vanilla, coumarine, chocolate and caramel notes together and so Angel was born in 1994. Today Angel is still as popular as ever and interestingly, people seem to either love it or hate it!

These days you can find gourmand fragrances almost in any perfume house / brand. If you like the really sweet ones you can try :

Day 4: Couture Mix by Barli Asmara

Cheyqua in JFW 2008 — September 3rd, 2008 (413 views / Print this article )

Di saat kebanyakan perancang Indonesia berlomba-lomba berkreasi dengan corak khas Indonesia atau sekedar mengimprovisasi busana daerah menjadi pakaian siap pakai yang stylish dalam Jakarta Fashion Week 2008, Barli Asmara lebih memilih untuk berkreasi dengan kain polos. Ya, polos. Tanpa motif, tanpa payet, apalagi renda. Barli justru berkreasi dengan cara menganyam kain-kain polos tersebut atau yang dikenal dengan teknik menjahit smock. Ini jelas jauh lebih sulit bila dibandingkan dengan teknik menganyam kertas berwarna atau sedotan menjadi tikar seperti di pelajaran Kerajinan Tangan dan Kesenian pada jaman Sekolah Dasar dahulu.

Saya sempat memotret adegan ‘penganyaman’ kain-kain tersebut sebelum dijahit menjadi sebuah baju dan diperagakan di Jakarta Fashion Week kemarin, namun saya sama sekali tidak menyangka bahwa kerajinan tangan tersebut dapat bertransformasi menjadi sebuah adibusana. Setidaknya ini bukan sekedar adibusana biasa, penghargaan terhadap jerih payah para ‘pengrajin’ anyaman kain tersebut terjewantahkan dalam citra adibusana karya Barli Asmara. Dengan kreasi seperti inilah Barli menunjukkan keistimewaannya yang membuat dirinya patut diperhitungkan di kancah mode Indonesia, dan layak mendapatkan standing applause di Jakarta Fashion Week kemarin.
