How BIG is your handbag?

As recently, big bag (or oversized bag) become more trendy, health experts warn that it can be a key serious problem.

Quoted from reuters:

Bags for women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with handbags and straps have become longer but the extra leverage has many patients complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems.
"I see so many women with neck pains and headaches and what I usually do is look for their purse and pick it up," said Jane Sadler, a family practice physician on the medical staff at Baylor Medical Center in Garland, Texas.

"We take it over to the scale and weigh it and usually they're anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds (3.1-4.5 kgs)...We're really going to see women with more and more problems later on if we continue the big purse craze."
William Case, a physical therapist in private practice in Houston, Texas, said an aggravated neck or shoulder can lead to upper back problems, meaning pain may then be felt while working at a computer or playing sports.
He urged designers "to place a cute, educational caution tag on all bags to inform of potential neck and shoulder dangers."
Above all, he recommended correct posture while carrying bulky purses, keeping the head and shoulders aligned upright. Patients should also frequently change the size and weight of purses carried.

That's one of my reasons of why I am gonna sell my YSL Muse which I bought just a couple of months ago:

Actually the main reason is, I am bored...I am liking another bag...:) bad habit!

Lindsay Lohan?

Do all celebs dress 'descently'? Of course not, that's why ada aktris berpenampilan terburuk.

But this time, Lohan who usually doesn't fall into that category dresses so ...(i dont wanna say..)..not to mention her unmake up face...

Or may it just me who are not fashionable enough?

Charm bracelete

I think I have a keen on charm bracelete during my life. Kalau dirunut2, kayaknya dah banyak charm bracelet yang I have owned before. But it seems I have never had enough of it..

First, from my mom, she bought it from Disneyland USA. Silver. I still can remember there are goofy, dumbo, mickey, etc as a charm. I wore it during my first year or second year at primary school during a pesta perpisahan. Hehe, I dont know why, may be I am in a rush, or being so barbar, goofy's head and body was separated, alias putus. Gosh, kl dipikir2, how can a 6th year old girl can do that...must be very barbar. Udah dimana ya tuh barang, biasa I keep all my old belonging well (hey, I still keep and use my Hello Kitty scissors I have from my 5th grade)

Second, it is a jewelry made from gold, a charm bracelet, with crown, horseshoes, etc. Because the bracelet is so thick, I am afraid to wear it daily. This one is from my dad. Have it during my 6th grade

Third, is a mini of the second one. I wore it daily, but not anymore.

Now, as this eye is so busuk, I fall in love again.

Oh ya, almost forgot to mention, previously I had fallen in love with Felice charm bracelet, but cancel to buy it, when I saw it, I feel that the price is not worthied.

Now, I think these are so good:

This is from Aaron Basha. Their top products seems to be the baby shoes:

So, this time, who's gonna buy me this? Jeji, will you?

Become more brunette!

My coloured hair have been mixed with the original black colour, and because it grows longer, the original colour dominates my dark brown coloured hair.

So, on my birthday I went to Alfons to re-colour my hair. This time I choose something more 'seen', the colour is 2 points lighter than the previous one, so it becomes visible now (read: more brunette! )


To keep my coloured hair as good as the first time I walk out from salon is I use my-all-time favourite coloured shampoo; L'oreal Vitamino Color. I almost use the entire of it, and find that it gives coloured hair shinny, and most importantly it doesn't make your hair so stiff, like sapu ijuk, like other non-coloured treatment shampoo hair.



It claims that :
Vitamino Color Shampoo: enriches the hair fibre and provides shine for colored hair. Softness shine, beautiful true color that lasts.
Color Guard System: with an antioxidant vitamin E derivative, activated wheat proteins and amino acids.

My comment: it's true! That's why though the price is somewhat high, but..it's worth the price!

Too pity, it's now out of stock in my toko langganan at ITC kuningan..hope they will have it soon..

Addicted to shoes..

One day, I found this marc jacobs shoes, which made me fall in love immediately..

The model is so classy, and the heel is not a pointed one, which gives more comfort.

The only downside is the price, my friend. For a kacung kampret like me, such shoes cost me of Rp 3.6 mio is just too much. Though my gutt feeling said that it gonna be on sale, just be patient. Correct, now it is on sale. But with 20% discount, the price is still too high for me to afford it.

And I am soooo happy when I found this..

It's from BCBGirls...I have been a long fans of BCBGirls...but it's not so easy to find it here in J town.

I love the heels that is not so high, and its classic model..And most importantly is the price, of course. Understand that if we compared the Marc Jacobs with this, of course, MJ is still better..but with the price of more than half of MJ's...I am happy with my finding...

Mine is in black colour, in fact, I prefer brown, but they dont have it.

Furthermore, I dont understand why I indulge myself into shoes lately..may be I am inspired by other fashion blogger who is a shoe-lady. Though, I claimed myself as a baglady in old days...

By d way, I found this shoe glossary is very usefull and informative from a very stylish and fashion up-to-date friend of mine, hanzky. She lives in the US. Currently she is visiting the J town. Welcome back, honey! Hope you shop a lot here, and dont forget to post it all in you fashion blog!

Tas nenek nenek...part2

Not until did I see this..it's Miroir collection in F/W 06 runway.

Second pics proves that this model is not a 'tas nenek nenek' type..Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian parading around their Miroir Alma's..thought this pics make alma look less classy...(is it because of the bag's owner? :)) )

Tas nenek nenek..part 1

Hm...I notice that I have been using my alma for less than my total fingers of my right hand during the first year I bought it...(I bought it on early 2006). Reasons are, first, it is pretty valuable collection for me..so, I am so 'sayang-sayang' in using it...sebenarnya it deserves a nice trip to the town loh..second, it is because my influential friend, miss S, say something that make my self confidence down...she said all the alma bag owners are those with grey coloured hair...semua yang bawa tas alma itu rambutnya putih..haha..it's okay..i appreciate an honest comment from a friend...so, i think that i still can keep that bag for another 20-30 years for me to use it later..haha...

So after that sentence terngiang2 always, bener aja, tiap saya pergi ke mall, en biasanya sih, emang ibu2 setengah baya (not to say those are nenek2) wear that bag.

But for me, still, that bag is versatile and elegant. Not to mention that it is enak loh buat dipake, cukup spacious. That bag, is, in fact, a classic collection of that brand. It is first made in 1938...yes, 1938, before Indonesia's independence...

Saking classicnya, alma itu dibuat dgn leather monogram canvas, monogram damier, multicolour, epi, etc etc...dan once i notice in its boutique that they put in a row all the collection, with something like 'celebrating alma'..hehe..

Happy new year 2007!

Happy New Year 2007 everyone....

I know, I had been missing in action for sometime....hope in 2007, I will blog more frequently..(one of my 2007 resolution ! :) )
