a shallow and mad journal
Since it’s Sunday and sun’s up pretty early, I thought I just write random stuff that I’ve found lately.

The latest collaboration from Olimpia Zagnoli and Marella, an Italian fashion brand, dropped last month. The collection called OZFEVER features boxy tops to sunglasses and trousers to sandals. The bold signature color used by Zagnoli results in an eclectic and eccentric vibe.
Lately, I have the urge to shop online a lot. Knowing that I have hundreds of to-do list and a lot of priorities over priorities, this post is an attempt to make myself better. Some while ago I made a list of things that I want (but still not what I need). So here is another one.
1. Kara Dark Brown Shoes by Amble Footwear
I’ve been wearing flats and sneakers for ages, but lately, I feel a need to trade some with a more formal one. The leather loafer brown shoes are made by Bandung based local brand, and it’s looking pretty fine for me.
Between moving to a new place and getting frustrated for not getting the internet access, I’m still trying to get used to a new phase of life. Lately, I’m getting used to cooking only with a rice cooker, which is surprisingly good for healthy eating (because you can’t easily use a large amount of oil). But enough of the boring household chitchat here’s a recap of things that made me gasped lately.

Swedish designer Jonas Lindström photographed the fabrics from Kettal and made a wonderful Material Mood board. Using a neutral color scheme, the texture shown from the fabric created layers of impact for those who see it. It’s a unique approach to create a mood board and I certainly like it.
It’s been a busy month since I’m barely resting at home and doesn’t take my time for myself. So writing in here is the only way I can relax my mind and see a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. It’s true that inspiration is everywhere so, here’s a couple of things to check out at the upcoming weekend.
The Neighborhood’s Sweater Weather has been one my daily listen for a while, so hearing this cover from Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox is a really refreshing one. Cristina Gatti’s voice is still incredible and the French part is amazing.
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.
