So thankful I got a chance to see the incredible and stunning collections by Biyan Wanaatmadja, one of the greatest fashion designers in Indonesia. The venue was set to be quite intimate, with a warm and comfortable ambience from the woods. The lighting was golden and it made the show even more beautiful.

My favorite guests were Mesty and Arti Ariotedjo, absolutely. They both looked so amazing and charming. It's like the inner beauties just came out of them. They were also very humble and kind, those things matter to me. My favorite models were participating too. Reti Ragil, Dominique Diyose, Paula Verhoeven, Marcella Tanaya and sooo many others I can't even mention all of them. Effortlessly, stunning.

I'm gonna talk about the women's wear.

The signature accessories are tassel necklace, bold headpice, and hoop earrings. Very pretty. I just admire the pattern playing that Biyan adopted for the pieces, the loose cuttings and the fabrics that fall perfectly. It shows a nice spirit of youth in an elegant way.

Two of the sophisticated dresses with a touch of traditional patterns. They have my favorite length which is midi. It's really wearable for any occasion.

The makeup was perfect by using earthy tones so the beauty of Asian skin could be presented. It was completed by the sleek pull-back hair do.

Mostly, the collections were about Uzbekistanis ikat, checks, embroidery, laces etc. To make them more fun and wearable, Biyan put them onto loose shirts, culottes, shirt dresses, kebaya, cropped pants, etc. It really brings a modern vibe.

"Money can't buy happiness". "Money can buy happiness. Don't be so naïve."

I've heard these arguments million times, because it's indeed arguable and it depends on people's personal perspectives. So i want to try to enlighten you with a theory from Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project (self-help book). I found it quite fair and objective.

"Can money help buy happiness? The answer: yes, used wisely, it can. Whether rich or poor, people make choices about how they spend money, and those choices can boost happiness or undermine it. It's a mistake to assume that money will affect everyone the same way. No statistical average could say how a particular individual would be affected by money - depending on that individual's circumstances and temperament. After a lot of thinking, I identified three factors that shape the significance of money to individuals:

It depends on what kind of person you are.

Money has a different value to different people. You might love to collect modern art, or you might love to rent old movies. You might have six children and ailing, dependent parents, or you might have no children and robust parents. You might love to travel, or you might prefer to putter around the house. You might care about eating organic, or you might be satisfied with the cheapest choices at the grocery store.

It depends on how you spend your money.

Some purchases are more likely to contribute to your happiness than others. You might buy cocaine, or you might buy a dog. You might splurge on a big-screen TV, or you might splurge on a new bike.

It depends on how much money you have relative to the people around you and relative to your own experience.

One person's fortune is another person's misfortune.

You decide.
