Stranded in Yucca Valley

It was during the third day of Coachella that we went to this hidden gem in California, Yucca Valley. It takes about 45 minutes to drive from Palm Springs here, a secluded desert just before Joshua Tree. Well, we actually planned to visit Joshua Tree at first but after we found this, we decided to just stay here, a true getaway, in the middle of the desert.

We stayed here for two nights to experience the difference; sleeping inside the airstream and showering in the open air, why not? Not enough electricity and no food inside, no problems.

How do we know about this place? So, we first found out about the accommodation through Airbnb while looking for a place to stay in Joshua Tree, it called Desert Yacht Club (you can find it on instagram as well), and turned out we liked it in Yucca Valley and so in the end, we didn't make it to Joshua Tree.

About surviving here is actually not a big deal, you just need to buy enough food and snacks supply and you'll be fine, or you can also cook inside the airstream or in the open pantry if you want. The showering part is a little bit harder, you can either shower inside the airstream or in the open; however it's too small to shower inside and the water at the open shower gets too hot in 5 minutes, when I say too hot, it means boiling hot! So yeah basically you only have 5 minutes to shower but well we made it though we only showered there ONCE during our stay hahaha. To sum up everything, it's worth to try ;)

My Coachella 2017

Here goes my very first Coachella experience. So, we arrived on the first day of Coachella a little bit late and we didn't manage to take many pictures as the sun was halfway sinking down by the time we reached.

I was wearing Dior scarf as a tube, TOMS X & Other Stories top, Pomelo shorts and Saint Laurent pumps.

I didn't know it was such a big deal wearing high heels to a music festival but really, I feel comfortable wearing them I even tested the pavement on the first day and turned out it was safe to wear them heels, so why not?

On the second day, we managed to arrive earlier in order to take as many pictures as we could because we decided to ditch the 3rd day of Coachella.

I was wearing Forever 21 lace bra, Ivyrevel lace kimono, IM The Label mini backpack and Charlotte Olympia shoes.

For someone who is not fond of music festival like me, Coachella turned out to be quite fun! Food was awesome, the people were cool although we got photo-bombed a lot and the festival itself was memorable, really interesting in fact. I don't mind coming again next year for Beyonce!

For me, the highlight of Coachella was of course Lady Gaga! Although I was disappointed (at first) to the fact that Beyonce was cancelled and replaced by Gaga, we were so pleased after seeing Gaga performed all out on stage! The costumes, make up, her choices of shoes OMG, and she even managed to dance energetically; it was all worth it I swear! Am just hoping I'll get another chance to fly out again for Coachella next year, for Beyonce, for the love of queen B!

Your choice

I'm not even sure why but I've been wearing a lot of black these past few days, well not for blog posts as my photographer sisters are not here with me to take my outfit photos every single day. However, I'm really thankful that my friends are always willing to help me whenever they have free time so that at least I can update my blog two to three times a week. I know I know how lucky I am ;)

Times Square

One last post from New York City at the super busy and beautiful Times Square.I still can't get over how amazing the city is. It's like we can never get bored of all the things offered in this big apple even though I haven't seen and experienced them all.

You know, I'd never have expected and thought that blogging could get me this far, being able to get such opportunity to see some different parts of the world and realized that dreams do come true. I feel so blessed and grateful right now and I just want to thank all of you, my readers, supporters including my family and friends, and even hatters for making me the person I am today, without you guys I don't think I'll get to this point. So thank you, thank you so much.

Photos were captured by the young and talented Olen Riyanto from Pretty Merdes. I was so thrilled to know more of young and talented Indonesian (part/full time) photographers scattered all across the world, just like this girl who Sonia, Cindy and I met in New York City. Thank you so much Olen for the photos and for touring us around ;)


Aaaaandddd..... bonus photos from Sonia's fish eye camera!!

I'm seriously gonna miss Sonia and Cindy so much. These two crazy girls always made my day during our time in New York, never a day we spent without laughing like crazy. Well I'm already missed them though.

So, I got myself a new leather envelope bag from KHLEES New York not so long ago. I should say this piece is kind of my new addiction as I've been wearing it quite often lately. Though it's not that big, it can actually fit quite a lot of my stuffs, really.
