Pardon me because sometimes, I cannot stop making a list of things that inspired me :)) I wanted to share a lot of things, but I somehow always forget to include a lot of things. I used to keep something that I treasured for myself only. Because the thought of someone else like the same things I do, making me less cool. But that’s the selfish and younger version of me speaking. Now, I think that pretty things should be shared with a lot of people so the maker can get the appreciation they deserve.
I stumbled upon Ayu Melati’s account last year. Ayu made a beautiful jewelry reserved for fairies. Every month, Ayu buys some gems to be made into rings and necklaces. The simple design of Ayu’s jewelry gives a dreamy and adorable vibe you’ll only find in fairy tales. I always want to order it but somehow always missed the Pre Order.

I wrote about Linda Liukas here before and though I watched a lot of TED Talks before, this might be my favorite so far.
I always love the combination of vintage pictures with collages. Here in Indonesia, we have Vantiani and her magic fingers. I collect Vantiani’s postcards to be displayed somewhere sometimes.

I recently find Hollie Chastain and her amazing collages works. I love the color combination and how she mixes the collages in a simple yet unpredictable way.
The thought of personalizing your own shoes is not entirely a new idea. But UP recently launched a personalize your own shoes product in the shape of mary jane ballet shoes. The flat shoes can be decorated with the choice of 4 colors acrylics letters set and a set of basic fun shapes. The personalized feature adds some fun flair to the classic looks of the plain black shoes, which I think is really brilliant.

Camila Gutiérrez‘s photos feature a lot of sorbet with a hint of pale green that is totally calming and dreamy. The muted colors giving a chill and icy vibe whilst still managed to be colorful (to the point it also gives a weird warm feeling), which I love. Check out her personal collection here and here.
So, here’s a toast for the new year. May the entire stars in the galaxy shine upon you this year :)
