Doodly breezy day at home

Pictures below were taken by my one and only bf. Don't judge but we both are amateurs. Never told anything about where I live before. So, I'm currently living in a small town in Czech Republic close to the north side. Living apart from the big cities but everything is lively over here. I was born in such a mega city named Jakarta where the population is higher than the dwelling place. My personality has still been struggling from a city girl to a small town one. I personally prefer something in between. 

I dream to be famous that I could travel a lot as it's my only desire. The question is "How?" Perhaps, this blog could be my turning point :) What's yours?

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby I've been, I've been playing hard
Sitting, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Spring also has another magic for me. Seeing the flowers blooming just captivates my mind. No wonder every single person who lives in a 4-season-country, always yearns summer time while I have entirely spent my life in a forever summer country and cursed the weather to death ha ha. Pictures below were taken by me. Hope they are enjoyable to see as I missed snapping good shots of some objects ;)

A place which you call "HOME"

I wish I could spend the life I enjoyed in Zlín like forever. I've been traveling to awesome places but the feeling is never the same like I was in Zlín back then.

If some of which are curious :
Where is Zlín?
Check my post about Zlín in 2011. Look up around September or something.

Why does Zlín mean a lot to you?
Zlín was the first place that I fell for. I never felt home like in Zlín. I used to wish a home like that. It came true.

I never regret anything in my life to have made such a decision. From Zlín, I have learned how to love home. Getting back in Zlín just made me feel old the other day. I truly missed it at its finest. Wish I could just be a student til the end of life :P

The weather was or has been fantastic. Spring is official here and it almost feels like summer. Hell to the O! Went to GATE which is fairly my favorite shop to buy cheap accessories or clothes at some point. I got one gold pyramid necklace and striped long sleeve tee. Forget the quality but what you pay should be what you get, true? As stated, I don't personally mind buying cheap fashion or fashion on sale for some reasons because the style will make it high-end eventually.

Drizzly Spring in Brno

Frankly saying, I'm really stoked to publish my fashion interest :D I dream someday, nothing will bound me to seriously keep this thing happening in my life. 

Spring time here is kind of wishy washy. Went back to the second big city in Czech republic named Brno keeping my boyfriend company for his need there. It was drizzling the whole day and I didn't wanna get my outfit wringing wet. So that I mostly walked around in a shopping mall and found great deals at H&M (again) haha. Can hardly wait for Summer sale! Got another sweater for 200 CZK, horse riding cap for 200 CZK, and summer white tank for 70 CZK. Pictures up later ;) 

I was in doubt to pick either bowler hat or horse riding hat and both of them are black. Just so you know, I don't personally like having similar or common trends but that doesn't mean I'm into freaky fashion either. Is it me or bowler hat is too all around? Which is why I picked the horse riding hat.

Going back to Brno just reminded me a couple of memories yet the city is same old. Though the city's well recognized as the second big, it's just not that attractive to me. Passing the hallway of the train station is creepy enough. Some street stalls which are owned by Vietnamese people, a little bit irritate the function. I mean, a few stalls are fine but stalls all over the way are just overrated. Furthermore, they sell clothes which exactly looks like in China. Then, the unpredictable crowd which you better expect any crimes to occur in the hallway. I mean, I don't feel appreciative to the city that much. A little straight to the main square, I slightly realized that the city is also pretty. As always, you will find one huge cathedral nearby named sv. Petra a Pavla (St. Peter and Paul or Petrov Cathedral). I have been there many times and the architecture is way too pretty. Brno is somewhat called as a Pen*s city by some locals :D No offense but there's one weird sculpture looking like it. Another perspective way to say, it'd rather look like a big bullet. Such a fun thing to hear, no?











Peach sweater by Divided H&M (This what I purchased last time in Olomouc. Read on the previous post :)
Colorful abstract printed skinny pants by GAP (Skinny Minis)
Brown ankle boots by Forever 21 ➔ perfect for Spring
Flower and pearl necklace by Forever 21
Sad smiley ring bought at ITC Mangga Dua, Jakarta - Indonesia
Black blazer by Mossimo which is one of my favs
Horse riding hat by H&M ➔ I've died for wanting such a hat :D




A short notice, my mom has been working in international garment industry which produces mostly well known international clothing brands. So, that explains where I got my pants and blazer ;) Also, the premiere of hat wearing was right on the day :D



























Looking like 'it' eh? :P

As always, more pictures on my Instagram : @cristinenatalia :)

Newly Fashion Blogging

Ahoj!

Greetings from Czech Republic :) I haven't caught up with this blog for such a long period of time. As a fresh start, my blog is no longer named "lovelylavatory.blogspot.com" and please update yourself from now on at "summervoyager.blogspot.com"
I was frankly undecided yet by fashion blogging. Fashion is one of those things which I favor. I never had the gut to do it in existence since my experience is still worth nothing. I was, as well, concerned that it would be just a blink in the eye. Then, after all of consideration, I'd like to be committed in fashion since the environment is entirely supportive here.

How about your commitment to travel blog as previously posted long time ago?
I'm still gonna do that combining with fashion ☺ probably like every fashion blogger else. I promise, I will put much effort on doing this. Not gonna post cheap pictures, no personal stories, no "hard feelings" lol. You name it.

Why Summer Voyager?
Believe me, I'm good at summer fashion. That refers to the place where I was born hihi. I'm not against any other seasonable fashion. I will, of course, try making the best out of it. So, any advise in your mind about my ideas would be much appreciated.

It's getting Spring here in Czech Republic. I'm loving it to bits. I was in Czech Republic last year but I didn't go through the whole cities in Czech Republic. April 15th, I went to a city named Olomouc which was sort of a new city for me. The weather was pretty, around +16 Celcius degrees plus the sunshine. That city was also a start for my fashion amateur photo shoot. I will list out the outfit in details.
One more important thing, I'm not gonna be committed in pricey or sophisticated fashion since I'm not famous yet. So, please no humiliating comments or advise about my clothes. I just wanna share my creativity in fashion. The clothes might be bought from flea markets or secondhand markets as long as they are still in style. If you like it, please support me :)

I got one pink sweater and one men checkered scarf at H&M on sale. The sweater cost 200CZK and the scarf was for 70CZK. Please find the suitable currency by yourself hihi. Pictures will come up soon :) Stay tuned.

I was literally amazed how beautiful the city is. Went in one church named Kostel Sv. Michala (St. Michel) and the interior is just beyond beautiful. That's the reason why I like Europe because of the classy architecture. The town square is pretty too. People sat on the benches enjoying the sunshine. The sculpture is really pretty. I feel so blessed to be living here.
