Sounds of Silence

>> Sunday, June 16, 2013

In case you're wondering where I have been all of this time that I accidentally made this blog seemed to be neglected, the answer is, in the past 7 months or so I was way too busy and too exhausted to blog. Did that explain? Well, please kindly spare your time to read the brief summary of my long absence. Here we go.
On December 2012 I found out that I am pregnant! *big grin* I had quite a hard time during the first trimester due to the all-day sickness my pregnancy caused. Strange as it sounds, my pregnancy hormones made me feel nauseous everytime I see anything fashion-related that I didn't even feel like dressing up at all. Hence the absence of my outfit posts.
Not only that, my decision to sign a contract with a publishing company brought a new wave of hiatus to my life. I started to work full-time where I was responsible to conduct lots of photoshoots and write some articles for at least three magazines all at once. It was a pretty fun, challenging, yet awfully exhausting period for me (seriously, your energy drains so much faster when you're pregnant!), but then I decided to quit and cut down all the excessive physical activities as I'm counting down to my due date. :)
 My colleagues in Trinaya Media (ELLE Indonesia, ELLE Decoration). I had a good time working with those crazy people. Oh how I miss them now. :')

 This is me posing with my bestfriend, Elok, at my bestfriend's wedding Dina and Benny. I was 2 months pregnant when I shot their prewedding pics. Yes, it was my first prewedding project in which I acted as both the photographer and the stylist. Haha.

And here I am now, 8 months pregnant (see that growing belly covered in black outfit?). This is my latest collaboration with one of my favorite Indonesian photographers, Nurulita, for her "Iconic Women" photo exhibition. So if you live in Jakarta please don't forget to pop a visit to Plaza Indonesia and check out our works!

That's all folks! I will be posting new updates soon. See ya.

Featured on Sunsilk Hair Fashion

>> Saturday, June 15, 2013

Hello people. I'm back!
A few months ago (in 2012 to be exact), I was featured on Sunsilk Hair Fashion website in which I talked about my sick obsession with shoes. This post is obviously long overdue, I know. But well, in case you'd like to read it, I've copied the article for you. :) 

Talk About Shoes with Chekka Cuomova
 
Ngomongin sepatu buat cewek nggak bakalan ada habisnya, terutama jika ngobrol dengan Chekka Cuomova. Fashion blogger yang juga berprofesi sebagai fashion stylist ini mempunyai cinta yang besar terhadap fashion, terutama sepatu. 
Di blognya, www.chekkacuomova.com, you will find high dose of fashion! Mulai dari post personal outfits-nya, peluncuran fashion line terbaru, hingga foto-foto street style dari para stylish people yang ia potret sendiri.
 
Untuk Chekka, sepatu memiliki arti yang sangat spesial. “Shoes is one of my happines sources,” ujarnya. Kekagumannya terhadap sepatu menurutnya kurang lebih sama dengan kekaguman orang lain dengan lukisan atau karya seni, misalnya. Malahan, cewek kelahiran 1987 ini tanpa malu bilang kalau menyentuh dan menciumi sepatu barunya memberikannya kesenangan tersendiri. “Tapi tentu saja aku hanya melakukannya untuk sepatu baruku yang belum dipakai, hahaha..” kata Chekka sambil tertawa. "Nothing beats the smell of fine leather goods!" 
Pemilik  lebih dari 100 pasang sepatu ini memiliki beberapa pasang yang menjadi favoritnya. Pertama, Miu Miu nude loafers heels dan scalloped sandals. “They are so pretty, perfectly made and delicate,” ujar Chekka memberi alasan. Kedua, Prada sculptured heels dan Prada stripes wedges. Biasanya sepatu Chekka berwarna gelap, dan ini adalah satu-satunya dari koleksi sepatunya yang colorful.
Chekka yang sehari-hari lebih suka memakai flat shoes ini memiliki prediksi seputar trend sepatu untuk tahun 2013. “Walaupun platform shoes alias sepatu berhak tebal sudah banyak muncul di tahun ini, sepertinya model tersebut akan tetap menjadi trend di tahun depan,” ujarnya. 
Lalu, bagaimana dengan motif dan pattern sepatu yang bakalan hits? Menurut Chekka,  motif polkadot dan stripes yang lucu akan bersinar di musim spring-summer tahun 2013. Ia pribadi ingin melihat lebih banyak koleksi pumps yang berujung lancip seperti koleksi Louboutin atau Manolo Blahnik di tahun depan, karena desainnya yang sangat cocok dipakai di acara apa saja sekaligus membuat kaki terlihat lebih jenjang.
Memiliki begitu banyak koleksi sepatu, tentunya Chekka memiliki tips agar setiap koleksinya tetap awet.  “Selalu simpan koleksi sepatumu di dalam kotak atau dustbag, letakkan di tempat kering dan bersuhu normal, sumpel dengan kertas untuk menjaga bentuk sepatu dan jangan kenakan di atas permukaan keras dan berbatu,” kata Chekka memberi saran dan menutup percakapan. 
Gimana, dear? Terinspirasi dengan style dan tips dari Chekka? Yuk ngintip blognya untuk inspirasi yang lebih banyak lagi sekaligus ulasan trend sepatu terbaru di sini!

Prints Charming

>> Monday, April 29, 2013

Ingin tampil berbeda di musim Spring Summer kali ini? Let’s be fashionable with prints!
Ketika permainan tabrak warna menjadi hal yang lumrah, kini bermain dengan prints pun tidak lagi menjadi hal yang tabu di tengah perputaran roda tren fashion. Ragam corak nan kaya akan warna seolah memberikan statement tersendiri pada penampilan para pecinta fashion yang senang menjadi pusat perhatian. Merasa tertantang dengan tren yang satu ini? Kuncinya adalah selalu sisipkan sedikitnya satu elemen polos pada keseluruhan outfit kamu untuk menyeimbangkan perpaduan prints yang ramai. Then you can play with prints without losing its charm.
