“Cinta Pertamaku Pada Sony Ericsson Walkman Phone”

Diambil dari Kisah Nyata

Hmm…Hari ini aku pengen berbagi sama kalian semua lewat postingan di blog ku. Ini kisah nyata lho!!! Alias pengalaman pribadiku sama Sony Ericsson Walkman Phone. Hari gini ya, buuaannyak bangget hape – hape yang lagi rame dijual dipasaran. Mulai dari hape yang cuma bisa sms doank, sampe hape – hape kloningan keluaran negeri seberang. Aku sempet nyoba beragam merk hape. Tapi belum ada satupun yang pas dihatiku. Nyerah deh!

            Eh, pas suatu saat aku liat hape nya temenku Sony Ericsson W380. Sumpah, keren abieezzz...Belom pernah aku liat hape sekeren itu. Apalagi aku tu tipe orang yang suka banget dengerin musik. Kan jadul banget tu kalo masih bawa – bawa walkman yang model nya jadul abis ato bawa – bawa mp3. Ribet lah!!!

            Mendingan pake hape Sony Ericsson W380 yang kayak punya nya temenku. Dan alhasil, aku belilah hape Sony Ericsson W380 ditoko hape. Seneng banget rasanya…hahaahaaa..

            Setelah sampe rumah, ga henti – hentinya aku memandangi hape Sony Ericsson W380 baruku. Bodinya keren, cocok buat gaul bareng temen-temen. Sambil jalan bisa sambil dengerin musik lagu nya Naff “Akhirnya ku Menemukanmu”. Pas banget sama pengalamanku menemukan cinta pertama & terakhirku bersama hape Sony Ericsson W380.

Naff :

Akhirnya ku menemukanmu,

saat hati ini, mulai meragu

Akhirnya ku menemukanmu,

saat raga ini, ingin berlabuh

Ku berharap engkaulah,

jawaban s’gala risau hatiku,

dan biarkan diriku,

mencintaimu hingga ujung usiaku

Selain bisa asik dengerin musik, aku juga bisa foto – foto sesuka hati. Udah gitu, hasil jepretan fotonya bagus lagi. Dijamin ga mengecewakan lah. Wajahku yang cantik ini keliatan lebih cantik lagi.. hahaha… Ga cuman itu aja lho, hape Sony Ericsson W380 juga ada dukungan USB nya jadi selesai foto – foto bisa dimasukin ke computer trus upload deh ke facebook ato twitter. Makin eksis deh aku!

Bener – bener pengalaman berharga dan patut untuk dikenang. Ga bakalan deh pindah ke hape yang lain. Udah jatuh cinta soalnya sama hape Sony Ericsson W380.

My new fashion passion.

I have a new fashion passion. And it comes from the most unlikely source. It’s a figure skimming shift in purple jersey. And I am wearing it today. There’s some thoughtful ruching at the side which creates some fabulously camouflaging drape across the tum and a convincing curve at the waist. It’s got sharply padded shoulders and velvet sleeves and hits at the perfect level; just about knee-length. It arrived in a parcel that looked no bigger than a T-shirt and emerged without a wrinkle which means it will pack like a dream.
 It looked good at a working brunch this morning and I’ll be wearing it to a cocktail do tonight straight from the office. There isn’t a pull or pinch anywhere in it and yet I think it looks pretty sharp and hot, if I say so myself. The litmus test is the office reaction and that was a unanimous ‘wow’ which is why I am blogging this right now.

It’s not from Bond St or Sloane. It’s not from Paris or Milan. Today’s perfect purple dress is from LK Bennett. The reason I am surprised, is that I have pigeon-holed that brand into the workwear category: a place where women who don’t have the luxury of the relaxed dress code we have, must go to buy a 9-5 wardrobe. Something about that makes me anxious: as if there was a risk of some sinister cross contamination if your working wardrobe got muddled up with your weekend one. I’ve always shied away.

But recently I realised that the brand has seriously upped their fashion game. The winter collection has got some fantastic tailored dresses (a hint of Roland Mouret, Victoria Beckham, Antonio Berardi construction) and some chicly feminine cocktail options. I’ve already got four dresses on my list for the summer.

And I am not alone. At the Christian Dior cocktail party at Claridges last week, I cornered a very eminent colleague in a particularly fab, purple and fuschia printed jersey shift. She was making the rest of us, in black, look dull and I wanted her to know that. Where was it from? Was it Lanvin commercial collection perhaps, was it maybe summer collection Etro or a vintage find from a Gucci Cruise line? No, it was L K Bennett.
