28 and fine // Birthday giveaway (closed)

For your shadow will never leave you, have courage, don't be afraid to use your voice and stand for what you believe in, even if it means standing by yourself. Don't worry, because it's okay not to be okay sometimes.

Looking back, so much has happened, it's been somewhat 6 long years ever since I started writing on this very blog. Every passing year, I only wish that I'll be more patient, be a better person, be more humble and always stay humble. It's not as easy as it said, I am just one normal human being just like anybody else, I slipped, I loose temper, I get mad, I have insecurities and I talk bad about people too sometimes. I wouldn't say I am a nice person by nature, I just choose not to do bad things.

In 28 years of existence, I am just thankful for the family and real friends I have, who never leaves and stick together no matter what. I am thankful to have my loyal readers, supporters and haters too, for they made me who I am today :)

THANK YOU!

My fourth year collaborating with my favorite Moreno Photography for my Birthday and I didn't realize how time flies, however my love for Moreno family is still the same, not changing even for a bit, thank you guys for always welcoming and for being awesome.

27 is just a number // Birthday giveaway (closed)

Yup, 27 is just a number and I'm still 20 at heart you know that hahahaha. Anyway, I would like to thank you to all of you for the warm wishes and the crazy amount of gifts and cakes I received on my Birthday this year. Also thank you for always supporting from year to year, it really means a lot to us and we really appreciate it.

I am thankful for the life I'm living, the job I passionate about, a husband & friends who are caring and always have my back. I am also forever thankful to be given the chance to learn again, to give back and to host a meaningful giveaway this year; it's nothing much and not luxurious but very special to me. Scroll down to find out why, hmmm.

However, before that, I want to share the results of #anazroadto27 Birthday session with Moreno Photography that we did last week *yeayyyy. It is actually our third year of collaborating together and I am still can't get enough of them. They seem to always have creative & fresh ideas and they are always so friendly beyond words! Even though we finished shooting at midnight, they were still cool about it! Thank you for being awesome!

This year we decided to do 4 different concepts with 4 different stylists, one assistant, one photographer, one make up artist, one hair stylist and two setting gurus who are awesome and very dear to me. You ready? ;)

Photographer: Calvin Jonathan

Make Up Artist: Jessica Tan

Hair Stylist: Jeffry Welly

Assistant: Johanna Nathania

"A tribute to the chicness of the ladies during the Dutch Colonialization meets Japanese occupation of our country"

The first two looks were styled, directed and concepted by Moreno's very own stylist, everybody's favorite, the big mama, Mrs Josephine Widira.

Wardrobe (both dresses) by Didi Budiardjo  

"A modern take on the 1960s lady, the heavy winged eyeliner look and signature 'beehive' buns"

The second concept was styled by my favorite hot young momma, the owner of Loft 20, Michelle Koesnadi with the help of Ms. Johanna who directed and concepted the look.

Fur by Loft 20  

Coat by Jii Gloria  

"In a world where everyone is overexposed, there is always a little mystery in her every moves. You could see what she allows you to but her dreams are her own. She creates wonders and wonders create desires...."

"Anaz should look different." A sexy and elegant look concepted, styled and directed by my fashion darling, the creative Cindy Karmoko.

Accessories by Secret BlackBox  

"A tale of an Asian woman living in the tough world. She's bold, independent, and stolid. With her alluring charm, she can conquer all.... And one can never mess with her"

Last but not least, one strong look by my rempong brother, the young and talented, Stefandy Yanata. "No, Anaz can't pose beautifully this time, no winged liner and don't make her look pretty, please."

So, which one is your favorite? I can't personally pick mine because each and every one of them is different and I've got to LOVE them all!!

BIG THANK YOU to you guys who takes part in #anazroadto27 whose names were mentioned above. Thank you for your time, effort and willingness to help until the end of the session, esp to the big brain behind all of this, Mrs Josephine Widira. I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Birthday Set and Giveaway (closed)

First of all, I would like to say a million thanks to all of you for the birthday wishes, but again and again I'm so sorry if I couldn't reply your comments, emails and messages one by one.

As you all know, I've just turned 26 yesterday and yes I had a blast, I received so many lovely greetings and wishes, presents and cakes! But I've also learned that life is not about receiving things, but most importantly is to give (the perks of having much older boyfriend). You know how life is a learning process and I am glad that we have the chance to be learners. I'm just content that I am given the opportunity to learn again in my new age and I hope for many years to come, Amen.

Anyway, I also would like to apologize for the late update; so without further ado, here's a complete set of my Birthday shoot in collaborating with my favorite Moreno Photography (it's always a pleasure to work with them!). So, this time we opt for everything simple, no fancy colors nor background nor wardrobe.

Concept and styled by Josephine Widira

I asked boyfriend to accompany me for my birthday shoot as well and so, voila ;)

Oh and if you're curious what did he buy for me as present, I got my favorite rose flowers and 3.1 Phillip Lim top. Funny story, he actually wanted to give me a pair of my favorite Charlotte Olympia shoes but unfortunately the one that I've been wanting for is still not available here and so he remembered that time I went to 3.1 Phillip Lim store with him to buy new clothes and so I tried 2 very nice tops but ended up buying just one (the one that I wore yesterday on snapchat). So in the end, he bought me the other top instead of another shoes that I don't want; you know, I'm very picky when it comes to shoes. I do really appreciate his thought, effort and to think that he doesn't really know about brands that I like. This is why I said he knows me damn well, it's not about the price and how big the present is, but the thought that always counts ;)

Blazer set - Yogie Pratama

Dress - Hian Tjen

Headpiece - Rinaldy A. Yunardi
