Review of A Game of Thrones (George R.R. Martin)

Enjoying the first book of the most succesful tv series in television history. Because i watched the tv series first than the book, so i often find myself compare the story and its details in the book with in tv series. From this book, i decide that George R.R. Martin as one of my favourite author alongside with JK Rowling and many others. I admire his fantasy and skill to create the whole westeros and essos world with its history. Its almost similar with lord of the rings where its movie and book is completed with map, history and war. My favourite house in this story is Stark for sure, but if someone gives me choice where i live in westeros continent i would pick Highgarden.

Favourite characters : Bran stark, Jon snow, Arya stark, Catelyn stark, Robb stark, Jorah Mormont, Daenerys Targaryen, Jaime Lannister, Theon Greyjoy

Most handsome characters : Loras tyrell, Renly baratheon, Tommen baratheon, Jaime Lannister, Robb Stark.

The most hated characters : Ramsay snow, Roose bolton, Walder frey

2 Days Before Fly to Bali

Today i want to spend my leftover days in this big and sparkle city. I've been living in this capital city for almost 5 years. So many experiences i got from this city and from peoples. Altough peoples talked badly about Jakarta, i do love it. The malls and peoples, i will miss them, a lot!!

On next 2 days, i will move to another city, different island. I got new job from one of big company in Indonesia and they wanted me to work on Bali's branch. Actually, i got this job from one month ago. But, i told them to hold up for a while, because i need to prepared many things. Off course i have to prepared resignation, but i will not write about this in here. I just want to write how difficult for me to leave this city.

Picture above showing the main reason why i really want to live here. Comfort is everything for me. Well, its easy to find good house in Jakarta. But i think we cant find suitable things everytime. The design, location, price, facilities and also interior. Thats why i dont want to release this. I decided to rent it to my friend. Also i got advantages from this decision. I didnt have to move  my stuffs from room, its so many, heavy and will takes much time to move it. So i saved my times and energy.  Hehe..clever idea, right ?. But actually, i dont want to erase my trail in Jakarta. Someday, maybe 3 months later, or 6 months later, or 1 year later i will get back here.

Everlasting Romantic Lace

Trend fashion dengan bahan lace sebenarnya sudah dimulai sejak tahun lalu. Namun trend ini bertahan cukup lama hingga sekarang ini. Mungkin karena tekstur lace terkesan “ berbicara “ saat dipakai. lace dress memang mengesankan pemakainya terlihat seperti seorang lady. Hmm pantas saja bila para wanita suka sekali memakai lace dress..

Pada masa lampau, bahan lace sering dipakai untuk baju para bangsawan. Lace juga sering dipakai sebagai bahan untuk baju pengantin. Bahkan, trend baju pengantin berdetail lace kini kembali booming sejak Kate Middleton memakainya di hari pernikahannya dengan Pangeran William. Selain berkesan klasik, lace juga menojolkan sisi feminin dan sexy dari pemakainya. Tak heran kan bila para seleb dunia ini begitu menggemari lace dress.

Lace telah diaplikasikan dalam banyak bentuk gaun dan aksesori. Jadi, bila anda tidak begitu menyukai lace dress yang modelnya terlalu feminin dan klasik, anda punya pilihan lain. Misalnya, bila anda ingin tampil hot dan sexy, green lace tube dress milik Scarlett Johansson ini bisa anda jadikan inspirasi.

Bagi anda yang berjiwa simpel namun ingin tetap tampil trendy, bisa coba memakai orange lace dress yang dipakai bintang Twilight Saga ini.

Ashley Greene

Lace memang identik dengan keseksian, feminin dan klasik. Namun bukan berarti busana lace tidak bisa dipakai untuk segala suasana. Lace bisa dipadupadankan dengan blazer untuk tampilan formal. Agar berkesan santai, lace dress juga dapat digunakan dengan cardigan. Anda juga bisa memakai lace blouse atau lace skirt/ short untuk penampilan semi formal maupun santai.

Do & Donts when wearing lace clothes :

1.    Pilihlah warna lace dress yang sesuai dengan kulit tubuh anda. Jangan sampai gagal menciptakan kesan yang anda inginkan hanya karena lace dress yang anda pakai tak cocok di kulit.

2.    Pilih potongan yang simpel karena lace itu sendiri sudah menonjolkan keanggunan, seperti gaya busana Scarlett Johansson dengan lace dress strapless warna hijau dan aksen ikat pinggang kecil yang mempercantik penampilannya.

3.    Padankan lace dengan sepatu dan tas yang tepat. Apabila Anda ingin tampil ladylike, cukup sambar clutch dan sepatu stiletto yang berwarna netral. Anda bisa menciptakan gaya yang lebih edgy dengan mencampur lace dengan denim, tweed, atau aksesori kulit (belt dan tas kulit).

4.    Beberapa lace muncul dengan tampilan transparan, karena itu pastikan Anda mengenakan dalaman yang sesuai agar tidak terlihat terlalu vulgar. Warna dalaman bisa senada ataupun kontras. Anda bisa menunjukkan sedikit bayangan kulit, namun jangan berlebihan. Sepotong lace top transparan bisa Anda padukan dengan rok pensil dan high heels, atau denim dan ankle boots, tergantung kesan yang ingin Anda tampilkan!

5.    Anda bisa mencoba lace legging, namun pastikan busana Anda tidak terlalu meriah. Paduan little black dress dengan lace legging adalah ide yang bagus. Untuk kesan santai, Anda juga bisa memadukan legging ini dengan atasan longgar yang terbuat dari kaus, atau sweater longgar berkualitas baik. Use your creativity!

6.    Hindari mengenakan gaun lace dengan terlalu banyak model potongan dalam satu rancangan busana. Its too much!

7.    Anda bebas mengeksplorasi model lace dress. Namun, busana yang menggunakan lace cenderung identik dengan kesan feminin, anggun dan elegan. Pesona lace tak lagi menggoda ketika dirancang model jumpsuit.

8.    Jangan memilih desain lace yang berlebihan. Pilih siluet yang minimalis, Anda pun akan tampil cantik!

9.    Lace tidak membutuhkan banyak aksesori. Menambah busana lace dengan aksesori kerlap-kerlip berlebihan hanya akan merusak penampilan. Pilih gelang atau kalung bermodel lembut atau simpel.

10.      Lace sudah identik dengan kesan romantis, karena itu Anda tidak perlu menambahkan terlalu banyak detail romantis lainnya seperti sepatu berpita atau tas berenda. Anda akan terlihat seperti pemeran telenovela Little Missy.
