Lazy Oaf

That's So New YorkOkay, so it's official, I survived my first day of college; I have to say, I'm not exactly overjoyed. A summary of the day? I walked around the majority of the time on my own as it seemed that everyone, everywhere was reluctant to spark up a conversation with me. I won't point fingers, yet in my opinion it's a little rude to ignore someone when they casually slip out a "Hello" (let me verify that I was the one being ignored; oh, how I wish it was the other way round). I neve

As you probably know by now, I have a love of things vintage.  And lately I've taken to browsing old patterns and sketches.  Nostalgia.

One more reason why i love Indonesia's traditional fabric, especially BATIK. As we know, print is one of the hottest trend for this year. Wanna prove?

Just look Dries Van Noten's Spring Summer 2010. This fashion brand from Belgia's inspiration is non other than INDONESIA's BATIK. How cool is that??!! Jusuf Kalla (JK), Indonesia's former vice president must be so proud!! Since 5 years ago, he has been trying so hard to make Indonesian to be proud of their own tekstil/tradition garment, like Batik.
