Prabal Gurung -born as a Nepalese American- is one of New York Based designers that always caught my attention (pstt.. First lady of USA and even Lady Gaga's attention too), all because He always delivers unexpected concept and makes everyone blown away by his spectacular show. His debut collection on NYFW in February 2009 was a big hit, He brought a new dimension of modern luxury style and sense of glamour for newyorker..which is become prabal gurung's signature style. He always focus on quality ( every fashion designer always focus on that tho :p ) but i think his innovation made him one of the top notch American fashion designer.

This Spring 2014 collection, bright pastel colors, abstract florals dominate the scene. For this collection his muse was the famous lady- Marilyn Monroe which represent Gurung's conception of idealized woman. inspired by 1950s fashion era, all bright pastel colors satin, abstract floral print under the plastic-ish fabrics plus the volumize silhouettes looking more futurisitic. spotted so many PVC-based pieces and volume volume volume everywhere. 

This spring 2014 RTW collection def Gurung's piece of art! From 50s inspired pencil skirt, calf-length, patchwork leather and tulle combo to the printed PVC fabrics that combined with perspex harness are dedicated for women that have a unique spin of uptown and ladylike style with downtown edge, we often called this newyorker chic kind of style but in a "hardcore" way

After did the review last night,  i decided to do an #OOTD inspired by DEREK LAM spring 2014 RTW. As i told you that my signature style always related to outerwear, that's why i pick a denim trench coat from derek lam SS'14 collection to be my #OOTD inspiration.

Maybe not all of you know that trench coat is one of key item for spring trend, trench coat always seen every pre-fall/fall and pre-spring/resort collection..for who live in a tropical weather, sometimes we also need a trench coat (especially when monsoon), a quick notes for you If you want to buy trench coat, make sure that you pick the right material!

As an Introduction.. if you don't know who Derek Lam is.

Derek Lam is California-born famous American fashion designer, he graduated from Parsons School of Design in 1990 and began His career in fashion industry since the 90s as an assistant for Michael Kors for 4 years, and travel to Hong Kong to experience different fashion culture for several year before come back to the States.

In 2003, he launched his own label under his name - DEREK LAM and debuted at NYFW fall in september 2003, his career as a new designer reached the top of fashion mountain by winning the CFDA Perry Ellis Swarovski Award for New Designer.

Derek Lam is famous for his clean cutting pieces and great details on each fabric that trully represent his own signature design. this spring 2014 RTW is his way to "celebrate" his rocky-road experience in fashion industry.  

For spring 2014 almost every designer in NYFW came out with sportwear chic theme, mostly influenced by 70's sport-wear era and Derek Lam is one of them. Refreshing gingham pattern that made a big comeback combine with Derek Lam signature cutting (clean and crisp), Lam tend to play more on texture.. This Spring 2014 collection looking more "RTW" by focusing on the minimalism aspect of the clothes and paying more attention to textures. we can spotted the color of spring 2014 like yellow but black white still dominating the scene. Not to mention the dark indigo denim belted dress that stole everyone eyes on the show.

Quoting Lam's explanation for his Spring 2013 collection “the effortlessness of just taking something and wrapping it around the body” in asymmetrical tailoring “Spring, to me, is about style, not necessarily all-out fashion. I thought, what does a woman not have in her wardrobe? Does she have a trench coat or two?”.  he did the same thing for this Spring 2014 collection, i could see clearly his consistency about Spring fashion and he interpreted the simple yet sophisticated theme into this collection.

pale pink is one of my fave color for this spring season..since i'm not really into floral for spring, soft color like pale pink play a major part and instantly become the key color to my outfit.

Did you know that low ponytail can represent two opposite style? one is androgyny look and one is the total feminine look. I tend to dislike the ponytail trend (because my round type face) but somehow i like the low ponytail i did on this post.

There are lot of trick to style the ponytail. in spring 2014, the ponytail style dominated with low ponytail look whether it tied loose or messy or looking super-straight and sleek, low ponytail surely made a big hit since last year.

often got lot of questions regarding what kind of style that represent myself.

to be honest, i don't know how to describe and can't tell much about my own style..but one thing for sure i proclaimed myself as an outerwear addict and if someone ask me about my signature style then i'll answer the question like this:

"I'm an outerwear person..if i can summarize about my signature style in couple words then minimalism with the touch of feminine would be the perfect words to describe my style"

LANEIGE water sleeping pack is one of the best sleeping pack in the world (in my opinion) not because i am their blogger representative but beyond that..i'm one of LANEIGE's skin care die-hard fan since their comeback to indonesia's retail market two years ago.

Been using LANEIGE water sleeping pack_EX and not long ago i switch my fave water sleeping pack to it 'sister-item' LANEIGE firming sleeping pack.

as we know there are so many korean skin care brand that selling the similar sleeping face mask, been trying some of them but they're not as good as LANEIGE's. fyi (if you don't know anything about this product) this sleeping pack is a typical night time face mask, the function is to re-hydrates and give a total moisture to our skin while we sleep.

when i receive the firming sleeping pack (which is the new version of LANEIGE sleeping pack) i thought this thing is similar to the previous water sleeping pack with firming formula added to the EX cream...but is not that simple! as we know that WSP_EX have a formula called 

Sleepscent™(Patent application No. 10-2009-0043726 )--- An aromatic essence compound that exclusively developed by AMOREPACIFIC to helps relaxing both our mind and body also derive for a good sleep. But firming sleeping pack has two formula ( one is sleepscent that similar to WSP_EX and the other one is LANEIGE's newest invention - SleePOP ).

then the so-called firming formula that actually is LANEIGE's new invention for WSP --- SleePOP™ contains polianthes tuberosa polysaccharide for a supple and resilient pack that hydrates the skin and works as filler with lowmolecular collagen peptides.

You can see texture of these two sleeping pack is different..firming sleeping pack tend to have a harder texture than the EX (which made from himalayan water) maybe because firming sleeping pack contains a lot of collagen.
