As my cousin's wedding day approach, I've been thinking to do this diy since I like to wrap a lot. Yes, I wish I have a little corner wrapping spot on my house someday. It's a super simple, easy, and cheap gift wrapping idea, yet chic! I believe you can do this diy with your eyes closed.

Materials:

Scissors

White ribbon

Artificial flowers

Double tape

Gift boxes

Wrapping paper (personally, I use pattern tracing paper because its ceaper and has the perfect color)

The Luxury Of Time

What's your definition of luxury? In my own, luxury isn't just something associated with money or possesion.

Keep your heels, head and standards high!

Shoe trends tend to change from season to season, but never its importance. Rock the wrong shoe and your entire outfit can suffer a fail. Fabulous hair and flawless makeup is important, but when you’re stepping out eyes won’t stop at your face. Fabulous fashionable shoes are imperative to complete your look or begin it. So, if you're going to make a major invesment in shoes, what shoes you should own?

Sweet Escape

I do feling wanderlust, really in a deep needs of vacation to a far far away island where I could lay down and covered my body in a warm sands, hearing the sound of the sea breeze pelting against the coconut leaves. Somewhere I could giggle, rolling, and snapping pictures at the same time. Why?! I’ve been working like a dog over a years, err maybe less than a year. Ahem, and, that’s why!! I need some kind refreshement for my brain, though I don't use my brain that much.

Du Noir Naît La Lumière

“Du noir naît la lumière”, translated “Through black… light revealed”. Black has this immense power of revealing light in a space. This mix is a proof. How about you, do you use a lot of black in your today's outfit?

Were styling for Jawa Pos Koran Lebaran Edition last month, in black and white. Find out more the tips how to wear black and white there!

It's Not My Work, It's My Passion

"GAMBAR bukanlah sekadar kumpulan coretan tangan. Gambar terasa kurang hidup jika tak mengandung filosofi atau makna khusus. Sebab, sebuah gambar diciptakan untuk menarik perhatian orang lain. Dengan begitu, punya nilai jual lebih tinggi dan memberikan keuntungan kepada pemiliknya. Itulah yang selalu dibangkitkan Anata Kusuma sebagai graphic designer."

If it looks right, it is right.

"The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what's in or what's out. This is not an easy job." - Albert Hadley

A logo design and business card design for Marissa Suwandi Interior Design, interior designer and consultant. Using the initials of the name and make it as a symbol in structural shape to evoke the feeling of kilter, balance, and elegance. The overall design convey the style of the designer's artwork.
