nonnative - S/S 2012 "Cafe Hafa" Collection

I really like this "Cafe Hafa" Spring / Summer 2012 Collection from the brand NONNATIVE. The line feature knit garments, blazers, outerwear jacket, denim pants and cargos. Very simple, brilliant.

La Creperie de Hampstead

Hampstead

On January, me (with my girlfriend & my sister) had a chance to visit one of my dream destination, the city of London. While we were there, we went to this town, Hampstead, cause our friend told us to try the famous Crepe there. A little bit hard to find, since the crepe place is just a little kiosk / stand.


But don't judge a book by its cover. Almost everybody on the town knows this famous little crepe stand. For your information, this little crepe stand is actually have been in the business for over than 30 years. The reason? yeah the information of how great their crepe is no bullshit. It was by far, one of the best crepe i have ever tasted (the crepe suzette). The crepes speaks for itself, the queuing never ends.

So if you are in London, don't forget to stop by at Hampstead area, and stop over this amazing crepe stand, La Creperie de Hampstead. Just ask around, they will lead you to the kiosk.

Thank you Bianca for recommended the place!

Blue Cone Colony

Recently found this on the internet, the Spring / Summer 2012 Blue Cone Colony Collection lookbook from Uniforms for the Dedicated.

The Blue Cone Colony is a joint venture between Uniforms for the Dedicated and Tree Hotel, two creative forces sharing the vision of a sustainable direction of both design and work process.

For similar reasons Tree Hotel co-exists with the constant forests of the north, the clothing line of S/S 12 combines natural and handpicked fabrics made to grow more beautiful with time and wear.

To consolidate a most comfortable casual look, the design combines garments out of hemp, recycled cotton & PET, organic jersey, and fabrics hailing from Japan. The collection brings spring anoraks & parkas, summery trousers matched with slouchy suit jackets, swimwear, and a wide range of shirts for those with a playful mind.

BOAT Sealed Watch

Couple days ago, i happened to find this beautiful watch on the internet. The name is BOAT, shorts for Be Optimistic and Thankful.. i know, it's a bit cheesy, but i must say, their debut product, the Sealed Watch which comes in a very minimalistic and modern design looks very promising in a fair price range. The basic design look a bit similar to Uniform Wares watch, but the material used is very different.

BOAT is Hong Kong based company that recently introduced the unisex wristwatch made of sealing wax. the process is heating a high grade sealing wax and then melted onto dial and stamped with a seal in a specific pattern. You can customize your own preference of color directly on their website, BeOptimisticandThankful.com and have it sent to you with only US$ 85.00 (exclude shipping). They do ship worldwide, including Indonesia. Just pay it using PayPal.

Sperry Top Sider to enter Indonesian Market?

Kuningan area has several mall / retail project developments going on right now. Ciputra World Jakarta, Kuningan City and Kota Kasablanka. Ciputra World Jakarta is predicted to be the home of many high end - luxury brands and LOTTE's first department store in Jakarta, And Kuningan City is said to be a lifestyle and entertainment center with many food & beverage tenant mix, Kota Kasablanka is developed to be more focused on High street label and mid-end fashion apparel tenants.

Kota Kasablanka's rendering

Couple days ago rumors about what tenants confirmed to be in Kota Kasablanka has surfaced. Kota Kasablanka is said to be filled with several new comers in Indonesian retail market like, True Religion (first stand alone boutique), Pepe Jeans London, New Look, Sephora, Timberland, Cotton On, and Sperry.

If this rumors are true, it means that Sperry Top Sider will definitely enters Indonesian Retail Market for real. Not so surprising, cause Sperry has been a big hit here in Indonesia (in 2008-2011 at least), Sperry even had some of their products made in Indonesia.
