What I wear here :
Studded bralette - Cloth Inc // Sheer Maxi Skirt - Cloth Inc // Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell // Bag - unbranded

By the way I have updated my blog's featured page, you can see my complete features here

but here's my latest feature, some of you might have seen it if you follow me on instagram/twitter/facebook, but I haven't share it on my blog yet. So around last month I was e-mailed by Girlfriend Magazine to be interviewed and featured in their bloglovin' article.

Here it is ! :)

Thank you for all of you my blog reader who keeps reading my blog, and lately for some who asked me why I don't reply comments as before, I really sorry for not being able to reply, since I was busy on my study and my clothing line business, but I do really read all the comments and glad to read them all. 

and another thing I wanna share is, I've changed my blog domain to : 

www.journal-j.com !!

So now you can visit my blog easier through the link above ;)

PS : For some of you who asked, I'm currently preparing for Cloth Inc's next summer collection, so I hope you keep stay tuned ! (Follow our twitter & instagram @cloth_inc & like our fanpage here)

Last but not least, another thanks to Fery Saputra for the photos. Visit his page here for more portfolio of his works.

JAKARTA WHAT I WEAR FASHION BLOGGER GATHERING

 Here's a 'report' on my last weekend event, Jakarta WhatIWear Fashion Blogger Gathering. 

So last 2 weeks I was invited by the community manager of WIW to attend this gathering. As I have spare time to go, I went there. Here's the picture of all the bloggers who attend this gathering.

I can't mention one by one, but there are Mitha Komala from Letters to Juliet, Rosalinda Tjioe, Gabriella Olivia, Bethanny Putri from Afternoon Tea and Living Room, Febrina Utami, and all the others that you can spot here.

We were asked to use a name tag there as many of us just know each other in this gathering. Spent a good time knowing new mates there.

And look at this big orange paper. We were being asked to write down our hopes and vision as a blogger! There you can spot a word 'Equality', yep, one of us speak a good idea of our hopes as a blogger to be seen as having a good potential to be equal as medias. We write a lot, such as hoping to gather up often, taking pics together, and many more! 

And below here is the pic of the pretty community manager, Valencia Gunawan showing us a video about WIW. You might recognize the place, it was at Hongkong Cafe, Central Park.

 Here's what I wear on WhatIWear's gathering!

I actually arrived there late, 1 hour late exactly, since I have to hurry up after catching flight back to Jakarta and the schedule kinda clashed. I can't spent time too much to dress up that day, thank God they make a dress code of black, white and orange, so I choose black and white to make it easy!

I feel this kind of asymmetric cutting skirt really caught my eyes lately, and this one's gonna be produce for Cloth Inc's next summer collection! So if you like it also, do stay updated on our social media/sign up to our newsletter so you'll be updated on our next collection ! :)

That's all for today's post, see you and sorry for haven't been able to reply all your sweet comments <3

STOP AND STARE

finally got this pair of shoes after 2 months of waiting (it worth the waiting!)

If you're wondering why I suddenly have this long curly hair, here's the reason why : It's a curly hair extension clip from Lookdeloop Shop ! So recently I've been so bored with my medium-length hair, and I've been waiting so long for it to grow longer, but sadly it just grew a few centimeters only. I even thought to do a hair extension (I've done that few years ago after I regret cutting my long hair into bob), but I remember how unpleasant it feels to do that. Then suddenly Lookdeloop send me a sponsor offering with their pretty hair extension (lucky me!).

The package arrived so fast, it arrived right on the next day after I gave my address to them, I tried it right away and the results was so satisfying (as you can see in my pictures). I have bought myself some hair extension too but none of them fit and fall naturally in my hair, but this one falls really great! Plus, the brown color also fits my dyed hair well, I was afraid that the color won't match and make it look weird at the first time, but my prediction was totally wrong.


Now if you're wondering why I'm complimenting this product so much, I'm telling you it's not for the matter of endorsement only, but it's totally satisfying and makes me totally happy with my new look. and from now on, I guess you'll see me in this hairstyle for my next posts :p

In case you're interested, you can visit them here : Lookdeloop Shop - They have this hair extension in curly and straight and in black and brown color option.

And here's the detail of what I'm wearing here (before I almost forget about it since I talked about this hair extension a lot)

Top & Cap - from my own clothing line, Cloth Inc // Skirt - Herspot // Clutch - Suite Blanco // Accessories - unbranded // Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell

Lately I've been falling into a mixed of girly-boyish style. You might look in my previous post that I'm transforming into a totally boyish style that you might never spot before. It was exciting for me to try a different style but then I realize that it was far from my style which usually evolves in girly touch and quite makes me weird when I look back into it again. So this look is the result of my attempt for boyish look, but still giving a girly touch to it.

Thanks to Carissa who took this photo for me.

SKULL GIRL

I guess.. this is your first time find me this boyish in my blog's outfit post?

What I wear :

DIY Skull tank (my first DIY ever) // Cloth Inc studded leather bracelet // Converse shoes // Denim vest & skull legging found from online stores

Keep updated with my post updates on my twitter & instagram : @juliantanoto
see ya til my next post!

(NOT) A BIKER GIRL

Necklace from rrobaTeen Line | Ring from Natty FashionShop

a short outfit post featuring my two sponsors, as I'm catching up with many assignments and work stuffs I left behind because of the flood that recently happened in Jakarta. My area was so isolated by the flood and I had blackout for 3 days, that was a horrible experience. 

I hope you enjoy this (very) short post, and why don't you just click my sponsors link above? Both of them have gorgeous accessories collection that you might love. 

So see ya for now, hope you find great stuffs at rrobaTeen or Natty FashionShop!

(ps: my giveaway is still open until 25th Jan, and Cloth Inc will launch the first Spring 2013 Collection this weekend!)

2013 & CLOTH INC FIRST ANNIVERSARY

Hello people!

First of all, I wanna wish you:

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!!

May all the joy and blessing be with us this year

and beside this new year, there's also one more special thing I wanna share to you:

this year is our  first anniversary for my clothing line, Cloth Inc !

So hello 2013 and Cloth Inc's first anniversary !

Today's post will not show any outfit picture, it will show more words than before. Well, today I wanna share a little story about my little clothing line, and also what I've gone through for the whole past year.

Time flies so fast in 2012, I can't believe that it finally reach the end and it comes to a new 365 page to filled, I believe most of you also feel how time flies sooo fast. There must be lots of things that me, and also all of you passed through last year, and for me, 2012 has given me a lot of things, new experiences, learnings, failure, new hope, blessings, ups and downs. A year where I found my true passion and make it not only just a dream, but make it happen. It was a roller coaster. Yeah, a roller coaster year will describe my 2012 best.

One of my special thing that I've been through in 2012 is establishing my very first clothing line. And finally, it reached its first year!

There's a long story behind, but 2012 made me found my true passion in fashion, and also a year where I could fight for my dream and passion to make it happen. It's kinda personal story, but my parents never agree and allow me to work in art or fashion industry like this, it was not their hope and wishes. But I fight for it and make them sure that I can prove myself in this place, and thankfully 2012 make it happen. There's a long story behind (that perhaps I would tell you someday), but it's not that easy to make this dream happen and start it, without the support even from my parents, but I keep fighting for my passion. I faces failure at first, fall and stand again, but strong passion is what makes me strive. Til it comes today my first clothing line exists, and even able to grow each day til today.

So yes, 2012 has been a great great year for me, and also my clothing line. But great things won't be that special without anything to celebrate, so to celebrate Cloth Inc first anniversary, we have prepared lot of surprise for you!
