Embraced by the Soft Orange

Going for a picnic on the beach is by far my favorite..

Imagine!

The sparkling sands underneath your bare feet, the warm water, the relaxing ambiance, and the tender kiss of the wind

More and more I was embraced by the soft orange shade around me..

That's when I met Pipi, the friendliest crab in the whole world- and soon we become friend..

..and daydreaming together..

The Secret Garden

It was a nice-weather day and I want to read my favorite book again

it's about a secret garden, so I read it in the secret garden of my own

the red flowers bloom in a cooling-red color splash

blue sky above, green grass below, and me in my favorite dress

surrounded by my favorite flower that looks a bit like my dress

and the warming sunbeam





and what I love the most~ the fairies flower circle!

Runway Report: A Poetic Dance of Fashion

Last Friday, I went to my first fashion show: Mari(e)-Mari(e). Mari(e)-Mari(e) is both fashion show and dance performance, held in a well-known Indonesian Restaurant in Yogyakarta: Sasanti. As a part of Printemps Francais 2009 (French spring 2009), it performs as a cultural events where Indonesian and French dancers and fashion designers work together. The cultures of both countries blend in the usage of local fabrics such as Indonesian batik, tenun, lurik, to lace and satin in this high fashion of the Spring 2009.

Fashion speaks art pleasingly in this show. Four dancers give breath and moves to the attires by Nita Azhar and Marie Labarelle. The result is almost poetic. It was not only models walking on the runway, but instead, we can see a dancer splashing waters in the pond in her attire, another beautiful dancer posing and climbing a tree, and a playful dancer running around acting like a duckling in a dress that makes her looks like a colorful swan. The blending ethnic music was played nicely by Enola & Improvasi- a house band of Sasanti.

The four dancers: Fitri Setyaningsih, Didik Nini Thowok, Marie Barbottin, and Emily White

A Little Picnic Up On the Hill

I remember..

a year ago, there was once a perfect day where the sky was so blue with a dash of white cloud.

The sun shines very gently and all I want was to have a 3-pm-picnic with my friend, waiting for the glorious sunset.

Up on the hill..

So we put on our summer outfit, lay the blue picnic-blanket on the ground, and have a feast.

Cheers!

-We are the picnic girls-

Because it's so fun!

Daydreaming, Laying Blanket, Warming Breeze, Growing Grass (and oh that smell!), Shimmering Sea and Sands, Cuing Bird Sings, Painting Blue Skies, Blooming Blossom, Floating Kites, Sprinkling Dew, Picking Fresh Berries, Wild Mushroom, Fluffing Clouds, Coloring Flowers, Floating Butterflies, Fancy Dresses..

..and all the lovely things blend together, all at once, in a picnic!
