Hello gorgeous! Who’s here is a travel junkie? Or maybe you
already start planning for your holiday in December?
Last month I got an invitation from Clozette Indonesia to
attend a Clozetters Meet Up. Clozetters Meet Up is a meet up between Clozette
Indonesia members. This time the theme is Travel In Style, which mainly talks
about travelling and how to stay stylish when you are travelling. The event
held at Koi Kemang on October 10th, 2015.
I love travelling! Going to new places, seeing new things
and experiencing something different from your daily life is always such an
inspiration booster. I’m not the backpacker type traveler though, good hygiene
and good sleep is very important for me. So I usually will spend more on
accommodation to make sure that I’m well rested and can stay healthy during the
trip. That is why I couldn’t travel as much as the backpackers because I need
to save more money to cover my trip expense hahaha
So what's in the Meet Up?
Travel In Style featuring two speakers from the traveling world,
Kadek Arini (Travel Blogger) and Amalla Vesta (Travel Consultant).
The event started with a presentation from Kadek Arini, the
travel blogger about some of local destinations that can be our option to go
to. Jogjakarta and Sumba are her choices and then she described her itinerary
and expense calculation for those places. Sumba is so gorgeous!! So scenic and
such a natural beauty.
She also shared some of her experience traveling to Osaka
and Kyoto. But I was too focused on listening to her and forgot to take
pictures of her presentation about it.
Next is Amalla Vesta took the stage. Amalla Vesta, who
prefers to be called Vesta is currently Head of Digital Marketing in PT. Garuda
Indonesia. But before that she already an avid traveler who is also an
independent travel consultant and freelance writer. She presented two
destinations, Tokyo and Flores (Komodo Island). Just as Kadek, she explained
her itinerary and also expense calculation for those places. One place that
intrigued me is Shirakawa-Go Village, a traditional Japanese village in Gifu
prefecture that looks like it pops out from some storybook due to its lovely
set of houses and the village layout. The village looks even more magical and
beautiful when winter comes and covers it with snow.
Along with her presentation, she also shared her travelling
tips, especially on how to pack right. I think everybody has love and hate
relationship in packing your stuff for travelling, right? We are excited to
travel but then really annoyed when we have to choose the things that we need
to bring for the trip. How we wish we have Doraemon pocket so we can just bring
them all hahaha
Well, Vesta said the tip is to classify your things. Put
your clothes, accessories, shoes, toiletries, and beauty products in different
pouches or containers. For clothes, you can separate it again into several
pouches based on the days of your travelling time (eg: Day 1 and 2 or daily) or
type of the clothes (eg: underwear, sweater, etc). That way, your suitcase will
stay tidy because you will only need to open one pouch at a time. Voila! How
great is that? Honestly, I never think about that before and will definitely
put the tips to practice the next time I travel. Her other tips is never forget
to apply sunscreen before you go out of the door, because sun protection is
very important. Don’t like the sticky sunscreen feels on your skin? Browse
around a little bit because nowadays there are already many sunscreens that is
not sticky yet still able to give maximum protection for your skin.
After that, the MC invited both Kadek and Vesta on the stage
again to discuss more about tips and tricks to travel with style, like how to
take good pictures when you travel or how to always look stylish in every
picture you took day by day as if you’re bringing your whole closet with you.
Mix and match is the key! Bring essential fashion accessories that are easily
to mix and match such as scarfs, belts, cardigans, or even hats. Those
accessories will give you different looks and it will give the effect that
you’re wearing different outfits in your pictures.
Another important tip for taking great picture when you
travel is to wear a contrast color outfit with the background of your picture.
For example, if you are going on a beach holiday, bring a lot of bright colors
such as red, yellow, or orange to contrast the blue sky and sea.
A short Q&A session followed by a short presentation
from Hadalabo representative, Ms Arlien about the importance of taking care of
your skin while you are travelling. Dry and parched skin, acne, and uneven skin
tone are the usual problems happen to us after travelling. Because, when you
travel, your skin usually is quite neglected because the busy schedule visiting
many different places every day. Ms. Arlien shared some tips such as drinking
enough water and applying sunscreen to avoid those problems. She also added
that Hadalabo, which contains Hyaluronic Acid; an important substance in skin
hydration is a great choice to bring along in your beauty pouch. Hadalabo
skincare set will help your skin retain its moisture and keep it supple during
your trip. Now, Hadalabo even has CC Cream with SPF 35+++ that is such a staple
items to bring on your trip. Its light texture helps you to even your skin
tone, makes it look great for a selfie. The greatest part is Hadalabo products
comes in travel friendly size, so you don’t need to worry that your skincare
will take the most of your suitcase or bag weight. You can even bring it to the
plane because it’s only 20-30ml per product (airplane liquid limitation is
100ml). You will definitely able to get off the plane looking fresh and stylish
to rock that airport fashion like those Kpop idols hahaha

After lunch, apparently Clozette team already prepared a
mini game for us. It’s Fashion Scrapbook Look game! We got divided into four
teams, each team assigned to make one mood board with a specific theme. The
themes are Winter, City, Summer, and Road Trip. Clozette team provided us with
sheets of fashion item pictures, scissors, double tape, and a mood board. My
team got Road Trip looks. We got 10 minutes to work together and create as many
looks as we could. My team managed to create five different looks on the mood
board. The result was great and I’m really satisfied with it, totally going to
go with those fashion choices if I were going to a road trip (bias much?
Hahaha).
Kadek, Vesta, and Ms Arlien acted as judges and they chose
the Winter team as the challenge winner. Congratulations ladies!! Each of them
brought home shopping vouchers as their gift. Clozette also choose two
participants that post best picture of the event and get shopping voucher as
gift too. We closed the event with a groufie together. Aren’t we look great? ;)
It was such a great event. I learned a lot of tips in
travelling and as usual get to know new friends. I did a little shopping on
Hadalabo booth too and also brought home some goodies from Clozette too. I am amazed how Clozette Indonesia always managed to make their members excited with
different kind of events and meet ups. It really feels like one big community
where you literally can share anything and connects with people that share the
same interest with you. Thank you Clozette Indonesia, Kadek, and Vesta for
everything. See you on next meet up!
Cheers,
Stef
