Ted Gibson, my Mane Maven

Ping!!! me over

Hair is said to be the crown of a woman. I cannot agree more than this. My day is significantly determined if not all, partly by the condition of  my hair. When it's well styled, volumed and bounce naturally, I have 90% of my good day. When it throws it tantrums and become lifeless, limp and frizzy, I feel less empowered. In conclusion, my hair is my investment. Before I get down to any styling, I believe a good hair cut is the main foundation of all good hair. Therefore, I decided to cut it with someone who is capable and most importantly has cut hair of people whose hair style I adore. After researching, I decided to do it with Ted Gibson. The master behind Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway's hair , and a regular guest for Oprah's Talk Show. I like his work and his style is classic. I decided to visit him in his Salon in downtown New York. 

When I entered the staff was very welcoming. Ted himself greet me and ask me to put on the robe and chaperoned me to his desk. He is tall and buffed. He used tight pink polos that has his logo on it. He asked me what do I want to do with my hair. I told him I want to maintain the length and want to have volume and prefer blunt layers and hates razor cut. He listened to me carefully and then He gave me some suggestions, which includes cutting my bangs to make it more bouncy and also balance the proportion of the cut. He told me my previous hair cut needs to be restructured to suit my hair types. He promised me he will cut only 1 inches but my hair will appear longer and it will frame my high cheek bones better. And most importantly my hair will be voluminous and easier to style. Sound like a great deal for me. 

After consultation, Ted gave me a hair massage using serum under his label. After that, He shampooed my hair and began to give his magic cut. He painstakingly cut my hair precisely and gently for about 20 minutes. He then styled my hair , give it a nice blow with a large round brush. Voilaaa. The result is like what I have expected. My hair look fresh, classic, voluminous and doesn't look a bit shorter yet feels lighter and better. Ted kept his promise and I was purely satisfied. For USD $ 988 plus tips, It worth every penny. I know,  it's the price of a pair Christian Louboutin shoes plus dinner in a nice restaurant for two. But It didn't stop me from coming back to him again and again because for me shoes come second after hair. hehehe. 

Back in Jakarta, I get many compliments asking me where I cut my hair, even from strangers. Therefore, I think I should share this information. If you want to cut your hair with him, book in advance since He sometimes travel, and busy styling for magazine and TV shoots.

Frutas de estacao

PING!!!living

Assortment of tropical brazilian fruits consist of mangoes, papayas and pineapple. Brazillian mangoes are sweet with a little tangy flavour, the flesh is tropical orange and the flesh is redish green. The papayas are small like the size of small avocado, the texture is medium soft with smaller seeds compare to Indonesian papaya. The taste is similar to Hawaian papaya only with a lighter aroma. The pinaple is pale yellow with more solid texture and less flavour than Indonesian or californian pineapple. Pineapples are often made as juice to company brazillian meal. This fruit plate of the season is my dinner tonight as I have sinfuly indulge myself with a thick flourless chocolate cake and a piece of banana fritter during tea time. Hopefully eating this suculent and juicy fruits can help me balance my calorie intake today.

Rock Chic

The Police, Montley Crue, Jon Jovi become the inspiration for this season rock star fever. Unleashing my inner rocker girl, I adapt the trend and blend it with my personal style. During my trip to Sao Paolo, I managed to purchase another 2 items, which are the worn out jeans by Diesel and a studded chain bag by Tufi Duek for Forum. Although I don't have the stage, at least I get the style and I'm gonna do it with a confidence of a rock star :) hehehe.

Divine Contrast

Pastel laces, jeweled tones beads, candy colored fabrics were mixed well with traditional material such as tenun, ikat and batik by Indonesian emerging fashion designer, Lenny Agustin. As a result, a collection of lovely attires that combines ethnicity and the upbeat and youthful mood that has become a trademark for the designer. Modern Kebaya (tradisional outfit) with dazzling embellishments were matched with less conservative bottoms, such as mini skirts, hot pants, colorful leggings and tutu skirts. Sexy and flirty twists were accentuated by using transparent blouse, midriff baring top and tight bustier. Bejeweled shoes by Le’Zilla added extra glamour to the total look. Lenny’s collection did not only energized the spirit during this cloudy rainy season, it also stated that not taking yourself too seriously (in term of dressing up) can actually result in very positive and sensual outcome.

Good Girls Gone Bad

PING!!! Worthy

Agent provocateur, the provocateur of all things lust and kinky (sans nasty and skanky of course) has launched its spring 2009 Collection. With Pan and the Vestry of Virgins as the theme, the current collections ooze the forbidden charm of virgins in the eyes of the beholder.

Expect to see delicate pieces made from Chantilly laces that suit a virgin bride with provocative details, such as peep hole in the shape of heart that will satisfy the appetites of any vixen. If you’re a good girl who wants to release your wild side or if you’re not a very good maiden that wants to play the role of an obedient virgin for a night, these will ultimately quench your thirst and provoke your partner to do beyond your imagination. This is however not a guarantee, your action speaks louder than the lingerie itself. Wear the lingerie outside and confidence tight to your heart. And let everything falls into the place, a high one I hope…

I Heart JACOBS

PING!!! Worthy

I know you have been jealous for you bestie's Marc Jacobs! Stop crying 'coz now you can have a touch of Marc Jacobs from his third label, called Jacobs by Marc Jacobs. I have one that my sister bought in London for a very cheap price, and I like it!!! It has quilted flava that similar to his first line bags collection. (I know the material is nylon, not leather) but, what the heck, I still can be branded anyway.

BANG BANG Balmain..!!!

PING!!! Worthy

She stalks instead of walks, she purrs instead of whispers, she rocks instead of chills, she worships Carinne Roitfeld instead of Anna Wintour. Sounds like you? Then Balmain by Christophe Decarnin is tres toi ;) Shredded acid washed denim, sharp shouldered brocade dresses, patchworked sequin jacket should be on your wish list for Spring Summer 2009. Wishing indeed, since the prices for Balmain pieces are in five digits league, US Dollars that is... Couture craftmanship and exclusivity again reign as the reason.

But, still...

*sigh...*

These Paul Smiths are made for walkin'...

We're So PING!!!

While going through my mess that is the not-so-walk-in-wardrobe, I've unearthed a piece of personal fashion history. I wore these glitter flats for my first visit to New York in 2003, my first visit to Paris in 2002 and they served me well through my final year in college. I remember a sales assistant at Bergdorf Goodman complimenting on them, I also remember them being stared at with a puzzled look by an older lady next to me while dining at Baccarat's Le Cristal Room, also trawling through Berwick Street in London scouting fabrics for school projects in these.
*teaarrss...*

What fashion item brought back memories for you?

Love & Leopard

ShopPING!!!

Once the deadlines are done, the office is quiet, the "cats" are out on long lunches, then its time for some changing room attacks ahahaha ;D

Love the LOVE belt in red glitter material with elasticated band, especially when paired with the big polkadot dress, Valentine worthy? And love comes in form of pink leopard print for Deut. That cotton jersey dress is super comfortable, I'd wear it with a waist coat or a semi tailored jacket to give shape to the asymetrical drape.

Pink leopard dress, Rp. 499.000,-
Polkadot dress, Rp. 899.000,-
LOVE Belt, Rp. 349.000,-

Golden Crumbly Japanesey, Goody...!!

PING!!! Worthy

Craving for something crispy, deep fried and savoury? Nope, KFC Crispy chiken pieces ain't the answer now that we have KATSUSEI. Promising a healthy -although-deep-fried eating experience.

The restaurant is serene with lots of ceramic touches and porcelain bowls and plates in Japanese pattern "floating" on glass partitions. Saw quite a few Japanese customers, usually a sign of authenticity.

Check out the size of that tamago..! Super thick and juicy sweet, this is a promising start, hhmmm... :)

We ordered the mixed plate where we chose to have 2 pcs of chiken ham and cheese rolls, 2 pcs of prawns and a piece of halibut. Cooked in canola & soy oil, these stuffs are supposedly good for your heart...
*ignore the cheese, please...*

Then it got interesting, customers are meant to mix their own sauce. Here comes the toasted Japanese sesames.
*inhalee..*
Ooohh... love that smell.. :)

Ain't the tiny wooden pestle kyuuutt..?? The inside of the ceramic mortar is actually textured so it grips and ensure happy grinding session ahead.

Now, g..gg..ggg..gggrriinndd...!!!

According to your taste and your dilligence, you can have the sesame super smooth or slightly textured, just like Skippy ehehehe And the pour the katsu sauce, a concoction made of soy sauce + lemon + vinegar.

And then dip dip chew chew crunch crunch..!!!
