Ways to use rich, dark colours.

I'm the one that prefer navy blue or dark grey/charcoal as the basic hue, rather than black, to highlight bright colors and bring out the outfit's best details.

The navy blue or charcoal grey looks more elegant than black.. since black looks "too dark". Especially in my country's sunny, shiny tropical climate, wearing black seems "not suit to the environment" because of its "darkness" against the bright sunrays, and its nature to absorb the heat.. And, while bright colors paired with black, they will look too garish..

Black, also, is too "usual", not something "surprising" for an outfit.. so black is just not my pick.. ;) The navy blue or charcoal seems to be a better choice.

As for in my everyday life, in the day time, in this tropical country, when there are no special occasions or events, I usually go for white, grey, beige, pastel colors, blue jeans, for the basic hue; bright colors for the accessories; and I keep the black and dark leather brown for my shoes and handbag.. ;)
How about you, Lovelies?

Another fabulous dark color is deep brown/dark chocolate. Pair this color with pink for the classic color combination..

or, with purple for more edgy look..

Dark chocolate sweater, light pink belt, purple tights.

• If you pair more than two contrast colors for your outfit, keep the accessories, like shoes, necklace, or handbag, in other neutral/earth tone colours. This, will help to tone down the contrast look and erase 'the image of too matchy-matchy thing' off from the look.. And I'm not a fan of "rainbow" look either.. ;)

Welcoming Ramadhan..

Tomorrow is the first day of the Holy Month, Ramadhan, 2012. Please.. forgive me for all the mistakes that I probably did to you..

Have a wonderful Ramadhan! (Try to) Enjoy every moment! Keep in high spirits! ;)
Taqobbalallahu minna wa minkum.. May all of us get the bless of Alloh..

I was looking at all my files and found some (not too) old photos of me.

..and here are two pictures from several months ago during my visit to 'Raminten' traditional restaurant at Kaliurang, Yogyakarta..

Here is my simple, comfortable outfit of that day.. :)


It is one of our family's favorite restaurants, that has been set by traditional Javanese atmosphere with a natural view at the backyard, and the food also taste quite good..

Have you been there?
