Let
me introducing one of Indonesian Fashion Blogger. Meet Stevia Indrawan, a 23
years old blogger, who loves anything vintage and also old looking (including
old people :) ).
As
I interviewed, I found that she is an open-minded girl who loves to mix and
match outfits and accessories and stated it as her passion, as for
her passion is something she really like
and something she will get the exciting when she’s doing it.
Has a stylish mother, who loves
everything about clothes, handbags, shoes and jewelries make fashion passed through her
since she was a little girl. But, she really paid attention to it when she went
to the university.
She started her blog in 2010 which was the year when blogging
started to arise as a hobby.
At first, her blog was about her personal
life, but when she stumbled upon a fashion blog (K for Kani), which introduced
her to a big stylish world, she thought she wanted to do it, so she did it.
As a blogger, she find a
plenty of great memories. She remembered how hard it was to get a hang of everything. “If
you saw my 1st post, it was really just my rambling and everything was mixed
up, barely any page views, not even one comment. But thankfully, I really like
to be challenged so I started to see blogs that I like and take mental notes
why I like their blogs and start to build my blog around that”, she said.
And
what she got in her blog:
“In my blog, you can expect to see a lot of
me. LOL. But lately I'm all about sharing useful information and positivity for
life because there are so many negativity out there that I want my readers to
feel motivated and inspired once they leave my blog”, she answered.
In
her photo, we can find that her style is mostly about something vintage and
girly, but for her it simply her style. And for fashion rules, she thinks we shouldn’t be restricted by rules
when expressing our self, but she has strict rules about showing bras and
undies. For her, it’s forever a fashion no no. For store, she really loves
Forever21, and she rarely has some favorite fashion items, it usually something
she recently bought. She doesn’t have any wish list right now. “If I want something, I go and try to get it. If I did, that's
great. If I didn't, on to the next!”, she said.
For her, confidence is very important. “You can wear a plain t-shirt and shorts and
you can look like a superstar if you are confident. And I guess that's what
catches me the most! Those beautiful people who don't realize how beautiful they
are but just happy with themselves without showing off”, she said.
She really likes Jeannie Mai, a fashion stylist
from How Do I Look? TV Show. Jeannie Mai is her really big inspiration for she
(Jeannie Mai) makes fashion as a way to connect and help people to be better!
She also gets the inspiration from her fellow bloggers, like Clara Devi from
luce-dale, Sonia Eryka from Sonia Eryka, Bonnie from Flashes of Style, Kani
from K is for Kani, and Steffy from Steffy's Pros and Cons.
She wishes five years from now, her blog could
expand to something better. She also wishes to be a stylist in a magazine and
hope someone would recruit her to do what Jeannie Mai does. Her true goal in
life is to help people. (I wish she did it :) ).
And last, her fashion advice:
“Make
sure you know what looks good on you and stick to that. If there's a fashion
trend you would like to try, make sure you try it with what looks good on you.
For example, I am itching to try the checkered prints trend. But I'm a curvy so
anything that has straight lines pattern in it need to stay away from my face.
Hence I'm on the hunt of a cute checkered print skirt! Checkered print pants
will look horrible on me cause I have big hips but small waist so a high waist
checkered print skirt will make me look on trend but still makes me look good!”
