LOOKBOOK: Lolita Inspired


"She was Lola in slacks.
She was Dolly at school.
She was Dolores on the dotted line.
But in my arms, she was always
Lolita."


I watched this movie several years ago, and it still on my mind. Lolita itself is an adaption movie from a book with the same title.
Lolita is a novel by Vladimir Nabokov, first published in 1955, about a middle-aged literature professor Humbert Humbert who is obsessed with the 12-year-old Dolores Haze, with whom he becomes sexually involved after he becomes her stepfather. "Lolita" is his private nickname for Dolores.
This is a classic work, I'm pretty sure many of you already read it.




I honestly don't really like this movie, because this is a male gaze (the act of depicting women and the world, in the visual art and in literature, from a masculine, heterosexual perspective that presents and represents women as a sexual object for the pleasure of the male viewer). No wonder, it was an over-sexualizing underage girl with many 'provocative' shots (it was from Humbert's point of view).
In that movie, Lolita may be looked so provocative and 'agree' with Humbert's sexual touch, but she was an underage girl who wasn't really understanding about consent and sexual activities. So technically Humbert was raping her.

 Lolita herself said,
"I was a daisy fresh girl and look what you've done to me."



But in the same boat, I really like Lolita's looks. She looks fun, wild, free, and sexy at once in every clothes she wore. So, I decided to outfit looks inspired by her (but still with a touch of my personal style).
What do you think, guys?

    As a man I can honestly say you certainly do look fun and sexy in the dress, with your legs been shown just enough, promising more, but not staying demure

Fifth Step: [REVIEW] COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream

 Menyadari kalau perlu moisturizer yang bener-bener melembapkan dan bisa nge-seal semua produk dan kelembapan di kulit dengan maksimal, aku nggak bisa pakai mosturizer yang ringan.I need heavy-thick texture moisturizer, tapi dengan kandungan yang tepat buat memperbaiki skin barrier.

When I Were a Boy

Look a little different than you are used to? Why not? Well, actually I want to try a little thing which is I never do before. A little changes on my style, a little sense of boyish. Now I just wanna think like a boy with their paradigm about girls. Sometimes women want to be understood in a way that is difficult to understand way by men, well c’mon girls!  Boys aren't a gypsy who knows everything on you mind. The boys need you to speak up what you want and don’t. But, the girls think that the boy must be known about every code that girls gave. When the boys said “umm, I think you need to changes you attitude about….” Don’t be mad at him immediately, they said like actually for your own good. He won’t you are mocked by the other people. So, the girls must think about the boy’s suggestion. If it can changes you into the better one, why not? But for girl, if your boy too depresses you for become the other one, you have to be careful! The boys prefer choose a girl with a ...

Yeay! New Year is Coming!!

            Hi all! This is my first post at this new year. Oh my god, the time ruins so fast. I’m not realizing that we already past New Year again, meanwhile I still feel the old-year atmosphere. I still can’t reach many things on my list at last year. Well, probably I just reach some on my wish-list, but actually a lot of disappointments crept to my mind. Many question turn around my mind, why I did spend many time for do something unnecessary? Why I can’t use the time efficiently? And actually I little bit disappointed with myself now. That’s true when people said “disappointment always come late”             So for the next year, I really hope and surely I’ll take the big efforts to reach my goal. And for all of you, do something efficiently for the next year. And surely do something better, better and better than the past. anyway, if you really wanna...
