Life In Black And White

Crop Top // H&M

Short Pants // Forever 21

Sneakers // Nike

You could hardly see what happened on somebody's outfit when they photograph it in black and white. That's not entirely true because I only wear 2 colors for this outfit: Black and white. I love wearing those colors so much, is that even a color? I'm telling you that you could never go wrong with black and white. I choose a black crop top and black short pants with white sneakers. If you think your outfit is too simple, put on a statement necklace. It will make you stand out!

5 Fun Things To Do This October

Short // Etienne Aigner

Sneakers // New Look

Purple Bag // Charles & Keith

I know it's the second week of October but it's not too late to make plans for this month! October is one of my favorite month because it's time for Halloween. I'm always a little bit exciting if it comes to spooky stuff and one of my favorite thing is to choose a Halloween costume. But there are tons of things that I want to do this October and maybe you could do it too to spark this month a little bit. Let's start with...........................................

1. Try a new look

You could try a new style for your wardrobe or maybe chop your hair a little bit, This time, I decide to chopped my hair (I'll show you the result on my next post). I love my long hair but it's been too long I haven't change it.

2. Read some new book

Inspire yourself! There are a bunch of books and  it could inspire your career life, love life, and everything. Every month is a good month to make a book list to read. By the end of the month it might surprise you of how all those books could inspired your life.

3. Catch up with TV Series

I know I'm not the only one whose really exciting about this month. The Walking Dead, The Flash and American Horror Story are back! Did you watch those series? Those are my favorite. The second season premiere of The Flash is getting me so emotional. Move to the first episode of American Horror Story: Hotel, it's pretty creepy and Lady Gaga is totally nailed it. And tomorrow is the new season of The Walking Dead, could I be any more exciting? YES!

4. Find a way to enjoy your daily activity

I live with a tight deadline, demanding client, and sometimes with a hectic situation. I love my job but of course daily activity could make you tired and bored sometimes. Try to wake up every morning with a nice breakfast, take a detour to work so you could always find something interesting that you wouldn't expect before, a cup of green tea before you start to work, and good music! That's the key to enjoy everything that you do.

5. Write down your happy moment at the end of the week

On Sunday, you could try to write every happy moment that happened to you from Monday - Sunday. It might surprise you because sometimes we didn't realize how much we felt happy with every little things that happened in our life. Be grateful and maybe next week you will get a better week.

Dress up for fall it's fun but unfortunately my country only have 2 seasons: summer and those kind of rainy day. But it's a different story when it comes to fashion and I'm stoked to styling my burgundy collection from my closet. I'm stoked to reppin' a maxi skirt from Something Borrowed that I've got from Zalora. And as always Sneakers Wedges is a must have item, especially when it comes in black and a little bit of studded. Anyway.. are you a fan of Balenciaga bag collection? If you're a fan, you might notice that this is a vintage Balenciaga bag. I'm so psyched when I got this bag because it's a vintage collection and it's Balenciaga!

Where your inspiration go? Working on a creative industry means that you need to be creative all the time. As entrepreneur, I need to grow my creativity, get a lot of ideas, and maintain a lot of things in the process. But what if I'm stuck and I don't have any idea at all? Well, we all human and I'm sure we've been through those position before whether you work as an entrepreneur, 9-5 job, or even at school. But as I learned on my 20s: Never let "Lack of Idea" drag you down. Because when you let it, you will go down to a rabbit hole. Here's what I do when I'm running out of idea:

Don't push yourself to get an idea. I've got that advance from my favorite designer, Tex Saverio when I asked him about it and I realize that's totally true. First of all, you can't sit and try to think like a maniac to get an idea for your work. Sit and stare in front of your computer wouldn't inspire you. Relax and do something that would make you feel less panic so you wouldn't freak out with the deadline.

Take your notebook to a coffee shop. Since I was in college, I like to write my thesis at a coffee shop. Since I have a home office and I'm running out of ideas, I like to bring my notebook and get my work done at a coffee shop. Observe people, a nice smell from a coffee shop, have a nice drink could give me any inspiration. 

Walk in a park. I don't do it on my working hours of course, but I do it on my spare times. Walk alone in a good weather and you have a time to think in a better mood. That will do.

Read some books and watch movies. This is also what you should do in your spare times. When I have a day off or really stuck with my ideas, book is always helps. Or browsing the internet, gosh you have google wherever you go d'uh! And I found that watching movies always give me so many inspiration. Sometimes it could be a motivation as well. I could spend hours and hours watching Judd Apatow movies. Believe me, good laugh could make your brain works better.

Put on some good music. I have my own playlist to brighten up my mood. Working is so much fun if you have some good music that you could listen. I have my favorite playlist and I just posted on Instagram, in case you want to check it out (@deeisdian). I'm sure you will find a song that you knew because my playlist is a mix of 70's, 80's, 90's and even music from the present. Yeah I know I have a weird playlist but I love it.

Look at your role model. Get inspired from your idol. That will push you to get better and also to make you work even harder to achieve what you want.

Set your goals. Write down your goals and if you're running a business, write a business plan. When I was younger I thought this isn't important but I was extremely wrong. When you set your goals and write down your plan, you will know how to do next because you know where you're about to go. You could find a way to solve your problem easier.

That's what I usually do. And if you still failed to get an idea, keep calm because there will always be a plan b, plan c until plan z. you just have to hang on and you will achieve your goals.

 

Run Barry Run

"An accident made me the impossible. To the outside world I am an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly I use my speed to fight crime and find others like me" - Barry Allen

Star Labs Shirt // Foxity Clothing

Platform Boots // H&M

Hat // H&M

If you love The Flash series, you might know what I wear. Star Laboratories T-Shirt as worn by Barry Allen! I'm so psyched to wear it and added to my superhero collection. I wore the oversized T-Shirt or let's say I borrowed that shirt from Barry Allen *daydreaming all the time*. Well..with a shirt like that, who need pants anyway.

The Flash become my favorite TV series since their first episode. I have so many reason for you to fall in love with this series. First.. Grant Gustin as Barry Allen. I'm a fan since I saw him on 90210, he's also looks extremely amazing on A Mother's Nightmare, and of course he sang really good on Glee as Sebastian Smythe. Second reason, The Flash have so many amazing villain and perfect cast. You will see a lot of familiar faces if you love to watch TV series like Prison Break (that's such a hint). Oh, did I mention the plot twist? that was the best. I have a thing with TV series or book who could keep me guessing who's behind this mess? who's the real evil? and something like that. And I will love it even more if by the end of the season, none of my prediction is right. So if you haven't watch it, you better sit down in front of your tv and watch the whole first season. Let me know your comment about this series!
