MY NAME IS SHERLOCK HOLMES

Saturday, October 31, 2015

Hello gorgeous people, it's Halloween now. Are you guys having fun dressed up your favorite character? I really want to know who would you dress? I bet there will be few of people who dress up as Inside Out characters or maybe Taylor Swfit - Bad Blood casts. Who knows?

Well, since I didn’t have any invitation Halloween party so I present you, my kind of Halloween costume, the look is inspired by Mr. Sherlock Holmes. I am trying to be fashionable (or quirky) detective you've ever seen.

Two years ago, I mixed the style of Wednesday Addams & Alice In Wonderland, you can see here "I'LL BE YOUR WEDNESDAY ALICE FOR ONE DAY".

'You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear.'

IT'S OKAY, SELF

Sunday, October 25, 2015

It's okay Ollyvia. You are adult now, you are 22. Not everyone is going to like you, not everyone is going to hate you, not everyone is disagree with you or agree with you. Don’t complain too much, life never be easy, just work hard and play harder, don't forget to treat yourself.

Admit your flaws. Stop talking too much personal information anymore. Sometimes you need to do self-reflection just because it's an important factor to help you change and grow.

Chase your dreams even if it seems impossible now, don't be lazy and always try harder.

It's okay if you dyed your hair metallic red, it's okay if you are getting fatter while you're in town, you can start to do healthy activity tomorrow. Don't think you're weak and ugly, don’t be too hard on yourself.

Got this marvelous Glowing in the Dark phone case from FREIRA CASE <3 they gave me two phone cases, you can see the other one on my event post LOOP POP UP MARKET BALIKPAPAN 2015

Check out their Instagram to purchase their adorable phone cases with affordable prices, available for iPhone and Samsung.

STYLE101 : Always let your personality shine in what you wear, even if it’s for a casual day out. Not only will you have all eyes on you, but this is a great way to flaunt your personal style.

This dutch dress from LookBoutiqueStore has been my favorite dress to go, I always wear it everytime I want to go for casual day out with sister or friends or for working. Last July, I created the look more like Wednesday Addams along with my Zalora sandals (you can see HERE), and this time I created the dress with the look that's more casual and girly along with my Zalora gladiator chunky platform sandals.

STAY GORGEOUS, EVERYONE

IN THE SUN

Tuesday, October 20, 2015

Find the purpose of your life. Keep exploring your deepest desires, fears, courage, intelligence and faith. Keep doubting everything before planning and keep making your actions, decisions, wishes motivated by yourself, for I believe they are the key qualities in search of a higher goal. But most matters are your time, your dedication, your discipline and your hard-work toward your goals. The most inferior pleasure won’t need to be found, it will find us naturally just like the sun.

Trying to be hippie for one fine day. Flower crown, wooden necklace, denim skirt paired white shirt + shoes such a perfect ensemble. Do you agree?

| WHAT I WORE : H&M shoes / DIY flower crown (by yours truly) |

TWENTY TWO

Saturday, October 17, 2015

Sorry for the blog hiatus of some sort. I had so much to do and so little time. I am busy reflecting my life. The journey of my life doesn’t always go as planned. I thought after graduating I'll be working at a hospital in my city but I actually work (have fun) from 1pm - 5pm at one of the biggest creative industries in my town, The Denim Club Indonesia (pretty much explains I am a freelancer) which makes me realize I shouldn’t over talking about my goals/dreams to everyone (I easily told them all the plans I’ve been planning every time they asked ‘what would you do now after graduating?’, seriously I regret it a lot.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. -Phil 4:6-

I’ve spent the morning and noon mostly in tears for these past a year. If you see my life has been completely different from years ago and I am quite successful in my fields (school, social life and blogging), well behind your vision toward my life, there are a lot of rejections, disappointments, angers, hate(s), feeling so down, judgments and disheartened. Of course it was not always smooth sailing but through it all, I never seriously considered giving up. I asked God for strength and He gave me difficulties to make me stronger :)

I will be less talking from now and more listening to people. I do have a great vision and daring enough to have a big dream but I’ll keep it with my parents and family only from now because that’s how it should be.

And today is actually my birthday, so allow me to say

“Happy 22nd birthday to myself <3”

I’ve never really spent my birthday in a grand way. The closest thing to it would probably be my 17th birthday and that’s mandatory for every teenagers. I like spending my birthday in a very intimate way with my favorite people in the world and this year I have a chance to celebrate my birthday with my beautiful grandma and whole family (from dad’s side) in a village where my dad has grown up.

My biggest resolution for my 22nd birthday is I could use my blessings to bless those around me and to achieve the dreams/goals I’ve made, I also lack in many things and tried to fix every single little thing and don’t be too naive anymore. I am grateful because God is good all the time, I am grateful because of His unlimited blessings and His forgiveness, I am proud to be His child, now and then. And I believe God has good things in store for me. Amen :)
