Jani Journey Journal

I just got back from The World of Ghibli Exhibition at Ritz Carlton Pacific Place, and I cannot help myself not to share it with you guys! About a month ago, The World of Ghibli opened their very first exhibition in Jakarta. My friends has talk about this for a couple of months since they are a huge fan of Ghibli. What is Ghibli you ask?

Ghibli or Studio Ghibli, Inc. is a Japanese animation film studio based in Japan. The studio is best known for its anime feature films, such as Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro. It was founded on 15^th June 1985 after the success of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind which was released in 1984. The World of Ghibli Jakarta, the official partner of Studio Ghibli, decided to create and exhibition about Ghibli in Pacific Place. The exhibition contains the history of Studio Ghibli, the synopsis of each movie they made, a trailer screening room and the most anticipated the replica statue room. We only allowed to take picture at the replica area, but the other room still amazing.

Well, I’m not a Studio Ghibli expert. So I’ll just leave you guys here to enjoy some of the photos that I took earlier today. WARNING!!! You are going to see a lot of my face. If you think you cannot handle this level of beauty, I suggest you to leave now (LOL).

I’ve been really busy for these past few months. Preparing for my final exam (finally), working this and that, travelling back and forth to some city, and still trying my best to write on this blog. Exhausting. But at the end of the day, I feel really happy doing all the stuffs that I love.

By the way, these are some of the songs that help me through the days for the past few months.

1. Walking The Wire – Imagine Dragons

“We could turn around or we could give it up

But we’ll take what comes, take what comes”

2. Learn To Let Go – Kesha

“Life ain’t always fair, but hell is living in resentment

Choose redemption, your happy ending’s up to you”

3. Feels – Calvin Harris ft Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, Big Sean

“Do you mind if I steal a kiss? A little souvenir

Can I steal it from you?”

4. Look What You Made Me Do – Taylor Swift

“The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama

But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma”

5. Fetish – Selena Gomez

“You got a fetish or my love, I push you out and you come right back
Don’t see a point in blaming you”

Finally, after a couple of months delay, the second collection of Lole is out! This second collection has more semi-formal yet fun vibe to it. You can tell by looking at the design and pattern that we chose. This time we create a collection that consists of a midi dress, 2 (two) tops, an outer vest and a jumpsuit.

OLINA TOPS is a satin long sleeve tops, with a little beads details in the chest and elastic rubber in the wrist area. This is my current favorite working tops. It can be worn as a long sleeve for a formal look or you can pull it up to your elbow for a relaxed look. They are available in MARIGOLD (something peachy and shimmery) and DARK BLUE. I usually pair it with a ripped jeans, patterned skirt or even a sarong.

KALEI TOPS is definitely a must have one! It is a two layered tops with a cross accent on the front. The tops consist of chiffon material on the inside and satin material on the outside. The pattern on the material is really beautiful! I love how it make you look playful yet graceful at the same time. They are available in OLIVE and BEIGE.

MAKA JUMPSUIT is my personal favorite. It is a tank top straight leg jumpsuit with an elastic waist and zipper on the back. I love how versatile it is. You can mix it with a shirt, an outer or just wear it as it is. We used very soft satin for this jumpsuit, so you don’t have to worry feeling hot wearing it. Well except you look so hot in it. The jumpsuit came in two color, DOVE (light blue) and CARAMEL (light brown).

NUI DRESS is our best seller at the moment. We already sold half of them just in a week! It is a midi straight dress with a tulle on the bottom. Just look how cute and gorgeous this dress is! We use the same satin material as the jumpsuit. The tulle is a soft tulle that flows along your every move. This dress come in GRAPE (light purple with a dark purple tulle) and ARMY (light green with a dark green tulle). Grab it fast, before it runs out!

And the last piece is HALIA OUTER, which is also my favorite. It is a knee length vest outer with a waterfall accent on the front and a detachable ribbon. The outer has an edgy feeling due to the cutting. I love to wear it with a turtle neck tops along with an embroidery jeans. It definitely step up your coolness level. In case you are more into a girly look, I recommend to wear it with a straight pants and a detailed tops. This outer has two color, GREY and PINK.

Mahalo!

I spent the Independence Day weekend with my big family in Lombok. And when I say big, it was really a big family (in terms of the number of family members and body size of course).

After months of planning, we finally managed to put 4 generations, with a total of 33 person, in one place. You sure could imagine how stressful to arrange a trip for 33 people, right? But seeing my grandmother happy because all of her family can (finally) gather in one place, is the most precious thing I have ever seen.

We went to see the weaving process, the traditional village and snorkeling around Gili. I did not take a lot of pictures, because I just want to enjoy all the moment. But I manage to took a few decent shots to share with you guys. So here it is!
