Hellooo Spring... Lupa kalau di Indonesia adanya musim kemarau sama musim penghujan :p Pagi ini Si Kakak aka Big A pas sarapan bilang, "Welcome September, welcome spring." Dia terkesan banget sama spring di Ostrali karena tiap September biasanya dia kena hayfever, alergi sama pollen. Dan saya jadi ingat kebiasaan saya beres-beres isi lemari ketika musim semi tiba. Packing baju winter, keluarin baju bunga-bunga dan warna cerah. Trus saya ingat lagi rencana saya untuk membuat capsule wardrobe . Udah dari dulu kala nih niatnya, tapi nggak sempat-sempat terus. Pernah dengar tentang Capsule Wardrobe? Intinya sih, lemari pakaian yang isinya cuma 33 barang, termasuk sepatu dan aksesoris (matek), yang bisa digunakan sepanjang musim (tiga bulan). Kalau ada empat musim, berarti bikin koleksi 4 kapsul yang isinya 33 barang aja. Untungnya baju dalam dan baju olahraga nggak perlu dimasukkan dalam hitungan yang 33 itu *lega*. Kalau mau baca-baca lebih lanjut tentang capsule wardrobel...

Wooosh... time does fly. And how destiny dragged me to another path I've never imagined before. Just last December I dared my sister Dila to set up our own business. That idea just haunt me like crazy until I decided: yep, it's time for action. We rode the wave of fashion consciousness among hijabers around the worlds. They mixed the latest trend of fashion with hijab. This wave actually started in the 'west' countries when young muslim women need to be covered but don't want to wear their Mom's boring abayas ;) So they're forced to mix and match whatever available in mainstream fashion with hijab. I'm inspired by these young girls (mostly in their twenties). No, actually I am consciously following the stream. So here you can see me from ignorant-drab-writer into self-proclaim hijabi fashionista (Oh, dear, that label!). At Malabar beach, last week. At Sydney Park, Dec 2010 At Melbourne, Dec 2010 At Circular Quay Station, Nov 2010 Yes, finally...
