Merry Go Round

IMG_2190
Finally today I got a free time to have a photoshoot. It's been delayed due to the bad weather and the many many activities that I have -_-. (sorry for repeating these sentences alll ovveeerrr againnn. cz thats the fact T.T. I can't dress up prettily everyday since I'm still a student :()

I actually planned to take photos at a park near the beach, but then I changed my mind and went to a small theme park in Tegal, Rita Park. I called 2 of my friends who were free this afternoon to help me take some pics and play together . So they helped me to take pics there, then we played until 5pm. Today was reallyyy fun . Thank you steven & a-j <3 p="">

The theme park wasn't crowded although we went on Saturday. We even asked the operators to re-do the attraction twice for free since no one else queued ... hahahahaha. The weather was also so good. It's hot but the sun didn't shine too brightly, a little bit windy, and the sky wasn't cloudy too!

To tell you the truth, I've been overthinking lately. I have some fears that I keep deep inside my heart, which I can hardly tell anyone since I'm so scared... I'm scared I'll disappoint people around me.. I'm scared I can't be as good as what people expect me to be.. I'm scared if I'm not good enough..

IMG_2210

Beside that, I've also been thinking about my further studies lately. My parents don't want me to study abroad because they don't want me to live too far away from them alone. In the other hand, I haven't found any exact 'major' that I'm interested to in Indonesia. I think other countries have more developed majors in universities than Indonesia. I'm also curious how it feels like living in different country (for a long period of time, not only for short time like holiday). I'm curious about their culture, the way they think, the way they live, which I'm sure can be a great life teacher and give me lots of more knowledges and expand my 'vision'. I know.. living far from my parents will surely be a hell for me since I'm a bit like a crybaby everytime I got sick and feel lonely. But, I'm just bored with this society I've been living since I was born... Oh well... Maybe i'll just study abroad after I finish my bachelor degree? :)

50 Layers of Floral

IMG_0190a

I did this little photoshoot by myself (tripod+selftimer) last Wednesday. I took around more than 70 photos but I'm not going to use most of it because... at the first half of this session, I didn't curl my hair and my hair didn't look good.. So I decided to 'pause' my mini photo session, curled my hair (loosely), then took some photos again. Hahahah ;P

IMG_0189

I lovee this tulle skirt that I received from Vogue Couture Shop. It's totally pretty and there are still a lot of outfit ideas in my mind about how to mix and match this skirt with other stuffs.. Hehehe... But this time I decided to pair it with light blue denim, florals, and pink. Blue and Pink are definitely my favorite colors :)

IMG_0228

By the way, actually I wanted to do this photoshoot outside, I wished I'd climb up a tree and sat on it. But there's no one who had time to take me photos of me at that time and a great photoshoot spot that fits this theme's located farrrrr from my house. But then, my mom gave me the idea to take photos using this 'ladder'. Hahahah. I hope you don't find this weird ;p (well, it's not a magazine shoot/ serious shoot... so don't take this seriously. i just wanna have some funn.. hehehe ^^)

Before holiday starts, there's still a week of school. But it's gonna be fun because there's a classmeeting at school! The competitions are tug of war, smapiball (our school's very own version of softball+baseball), badminton, etc. And on the first day of classmeeting we'll ride bike together too around the city before the competitions start, hehehe~~..

Have a nice weekend everyone!! :)

Forever Grateful, Forever CUTE!

This was my outfit when I returned to Tegal from Jakarta by train last week. Yeah, I wore this outfit to the train station but with different hair accessory. I wore a headband on that day but I left it on the train when I got off and I didn't have any time to take outfit photos at the train station because of the traffic jam that almost made me miss my train. =__=. I didn't bring any luggage / big bags because my parents brought my luggages by car on the next day. (I had school on Monday so I had to left Jakarta earlier xP)
IMG_0325

I felt so girly in this outfit because of the florals and pastel colors in this outfit. Not to mention my favorite horse bag that I got in Jakarta and my unicorn slash barbie's heels necklace from the superrrr kind Petriciaeure.

My jobs and tasks are being done one by one, and the remaining ones should be finished on Monday. 
I really can't wait for Tuesday, as it's a public holiday in Indonesia and it's the time where I don't have any assignments to be done anymore except taking outfit shots for my sponsors. 

On Monday, there'll be a 'Bahasa Month' competitions (story telling, poetry, drama, vocal group, all held and prepared by the student council) at school and I'm assigned as the head of this event. We (the student council) had prepared since 3 weeks ago, from announcing the competitions and holding a technical meeting. I come home late from Mon-Sat for 1.5 week to prepare this event with the student council and also practice dramas with my classmates. After I'm home, I'd try to blog / at least reply some e-mails / do other blogging stuffs. 

It's a really really busy week for me. I hardly find a right time to take outfit photos for my sponsors, especially those who keep asking me when I will post theirn products on my blog without considering my full time job as a busy student, and my situation where I don't go anywhere except school hence I have no time to dress up =___=.

Custom made shoes c/o Decimal Shoes . 
(I found a random shoe pic on instagram and fell in love with it but Idk where to buy. So when Decimal offered me to make a pair of shoes, I showed them a pic of the shoes! I'm so glad that the result is satisfying. Fyi, the standard shoelace from Decimal is black, but I changed it with my own pink shoelace to match this outfit :)

I found a pair of cute shoes on instagram a few months ago but Idk where to get them, so when @decimalshoes offered me to make a pair of shoes, I asked them to make this right away and the result is goood! This is perfect for my daily activities because of the low heel. Finally I can have a pair of shoes with low heel that is still very chic and cute

Many people ask me on my ask.fm how I can be an active student and also a blogger at the same time. I say, it's all about time management. I can't say I'm good at managing my time due to the level of my tiredness everyweek and I often nag to my mom too about how tired I am yet I still have so many things to be done. 

But, it's all comes back to what we call as passion. I loveee being an active student at school. I like to give my ideas to the student council about the events we're going to make, the concept, and other stuffs that will make the events be interesting. 

I also love blogging. I lovee to dress up. On the weekends, I love to take photos of myself (I've been using the tripod and selftimer for almost 4 years.) then I will share my outfits on my blog to other people. Even when someone tweeted me or tagged me their outfits who are inspired by me, I always feel so happy. 

Yea, actually sometimes I feel tired too with taking outfit photos where I don't actually go out but I take those photos just as a post for a sponsored clothing. My friends usually sleep, eat, and rest on Sunday. But, on Sunday I will wake up in the morning, eat, then prepare to take outfit photos. In the afternoon after I've finished taking photos for the sponsored stuffs, I'll edit the pics and post them at night (if possible) and then sleep.  That's how my usual Sunday goes. I used to enjoy that during my early years of blogging, because most of my outfits weren't sponsored so I don't quite feel pressured to update my blog and post the outfits as soon as possible.

I nag a lot about that to my mom. But my mom says that I should be proud of myself for spending my time with many school activities and also blogging (where I get my own incomes from sponsors) when lots of other people at my age don't. She also said that maybe I feel tired because I still haven't done the right time management, but I think I also don't have enough leisure time too. 

But then, I realize that my first priority is school . My full time job is a student. Hence I need a lot of energies everyday and I have to have enough rest. Soo... to make my weekends less busier than before (so I can rest a bit and back to how I used to blog like before), I've decided to be more selective in accepting sponsors , so I still can blog, dress up, but with a whole heart, not a half heart where I post the outfits just because my sponsors can no longer wait.

In my 4th year of blogging, I've received so many great opportunities. For being featured on magazines, invited to fashion shows, fashion collaborations, or even a tv talkshow (I couldn't make it because I don't live in Jkt and I can't always skip school) , and receiving so many freebies from my sponsors. I feel really grateful although I still have so many flaws. 

I have so many wishes about my blogging activity. Like improving my boring 'photo' style. I feel bored taking photos in my house almost all of the time, and also bored using tripod and self timer. But I also still can't find a way to make my photos look better. It's already hard to take outfit photos at home between my busy schedule, and on the weekend it's alsoooo hard to ask my friends to take some photos of me outdoor because almost all of us have different activities on weekend T_T.

My mom says I must be patient till I graduate from senior high school. Because after that I'll be living in Jakarta with my brother who's likely can be my photographer, and I also can easily attend to exciting events without worrying about skipping school too! And by that I can expand my blog much more easier :).

I also wish that I'll keep writing this online diary of mine untl whenever~... It's like a recording of the evolution of my life :p.  My absurd and 50:50 thoughts as a teens, my girly2 outfits, etc.
***
Anyway, I got an award from LOOKS MAGAZINE as The Most CUTEST Fashion Blogger. Thanks a bunchhh!

Hellooo! What do you think about my new layout? It's been a really long time since the last time I updated my blog's layout so I decided to change the background. It's not 100% done because of the little amount of time I have, but I will keep working on this every time I'm free.

By the way, I also want to change my header and I'd like to ask for your help. If you're good at designing and willing to create a new header for my blog, please contact me through e-mail and we'll have further discussion. I will promote and give you credits on my blog in return :). (The header must match my blog's layout, size: (width: 1150, height: not more than 650px) and there's an illustration of me (not just the title of my blog))

Not Just Another Ordinary Geek

IMG_5528

When I received this skirt from CHOIES, I was a bit confused what should I wear with it. Many girls wear a peplum skirt with a shirt, blazer, and high heels. But then I got an idea to style this skirt into a 'fun and teen-ish' looking outfit with a t-shirt, colorful socks, beanie, and flatforms ! A lotttt of people say I have 2 different sides. I can look very mature in some photos, and can look very childish in other photos.. =_=. I think that's because of my face and height. But that's ok, it'd be an advantage when I'm old... hahha

When I was taking these outfit photos, I decided to wear a ribbon hairclip on my beanie. Which one do you think is better? With ribbon or without? :)

In this post, I really want to pour all of my annoyance towards lazy people who don't even bother to read. 
I might be so emotional because of my period, but actually I do feel really annoyed.

If you're following my instagram, you can see that I put my blog's url on my profile and on every photo of my new outfit post. I sometimes say "please read my blog for more details before u ask". U know, I always try to write where my stuffs are from on my blog. But some lazy asses can casually ask me "where do you get this bag from?" or something like that. In the bottom of my heart and brain, I was like.. "HELLO? Are u blind? Can't u see that I've clearly wrote that you can VISIT my blog to see more details first BEFORE you ask?!?!" but fortunately I didn't do that to those people and chose not to answer them instead.

If it were me who's curious about someone's stuff, I'd try to read the caption of the pic carefully, check his/her blog first, or even ask google. I'd be very ashamed if I left a comment on someone's photo about something that has clearly been written there. So please, BE SMART and PAY MORE ATTENTION... Geeeezzzzzz

Okay, enough with my nags, now let me finish this post with a pic of my happy feet! This pair of flatforms from Sammy Dress is just so cuteee and comfy. Do visit Sammy Dress to see other cheap yet beautiful shoes/clothes. If you're Indonesian and not familiar with international shopping, you can check this post or contact their customer services if you're still confused. That post was made by me and that's the furthest I can help. :)
