Elle and Jess Back to Black

So..? What do you think? ^^

Okay, first of all, yes, those are wigs. Few days ago, when we posted our pictures wearing them for the first time (see it here and here), some people thought they're for real lol. Well, they do look and feel pretty real to us, too. AND as you might know already that changing your hairstyle could really change the way you look, our dear brother was dead stunned when he saw Elle walking out of the elevator. Jess' bf didn't even dare to greet her when he picked her up at our apartment lobby. Both of them thought they saw someone who look completely similar with us, only with different hair lololol.

Well to be honest, it felt like a looooong time since the first time we coloured our hair (circa 2011), so maybe because of that, when @nonataliashop offered to sponsor us, we both picked these black ones in a blink, without even telling each other beforehand! Talk about telepathy.

Both our wigs have the same color: Jet Black. Even our natural hair color is not as black as this lol. Maybe because we did a lot of outdoor sports back then.. But THIS jet black color totally gave us a shock when we first tried it on. "So this is how we'd look like with @bellevalencia's* hair..." we thought.
*our cousin whom shiny-healthy-always-perfect hair should really be insured

We think black gives you this cool-mysterious-girl look, which is why we paired it with these outfits. But you know what, after this sudden Back to Black sessioneven though some people convincingly said that we look better in black, we actually got ourselves *even* reassured that we look better in our colored hair.

Ah well, it's all simply a matter of taste, right? ;)

Elle's Going Blonde!

...for only about 2 hours, ha! I uploaded a photo of me with blonde hair to my Instagram yesterday and I was surprised by the sweet and supporting comments I got! Thank youuu! :"D

But I'm so sorry to have you fooled, it's just a WIG, guys. Well, it's not just a wig it's a very pretty, captivating, angelic wig from abHair 

I've always wanted to try blonde hair but all the treatments needed are too troublesome for my lazyass. That's why this wig is such a dream fulfiller!! Whenever I'm in the mood for channeling my inner Barbie, I can just throw on this blonde wig and I'm good to go! B)

The best thing about this wig (besides its color, of course) is that the long layers in the front make this style wearable on any face shape. Ok, enough talk, let's see some PICTURES!!

EL Kabron Restaurant and Cliff Club, Bali


Finally got the time to blog about this uber cool place I visited when I went to Bali last March: EL Kabron (Spanish) Restaurant and Cliff Club. Let's start with the place!!

The entrance.
The location is very secluded, or should I say, well hidden. It wasn't that easy to find this place as there weren't any signboards whatsoever our taxi driver even had to ask several people to point out which road should we take to get there.

After going through the bad remote roads, we finally reached this place!!
The indoor area with a bar at the upper left. Half of the indoor area was being renovated due to the storm attack!
Here's where the beauty of EL Kabron kicks in... The Outdoor. We arrived there at around 3pm on weekdays so it wasn't crowded at all! :D
A swimming pool that resembles the shape of a sunny side-up egg.
That could be you ;)
Lilac bean bag chairs! Adorable or what?! I wish I could take one home!!
The newspaper hanging on the glass walls (upper left) and the people working in green shirts are what I was talking about: the place was being renovated. Fortunately there wasn't any disturbing noise coming from it :)
Me with my orange mix strawberry juice– just the way I like it! Oh by the way, we chose to be seated at the table first because it's more convenient to eat, and after that we moved to the bean bag near the pool to enjoy the scenery.
THIS is the only food I can eat there (Las Bravas del kabron - Spanish Fries with mayonaise and spicy sauce) as I was being a vegetarian back then /sob. But it was deliciousss, like salty and spicy with a bit of schweet, LOVE IT!
 //Moving on to the outfit...

Actually it was VERY windy out there, so here are some of the decent outfit shots I got after many failed attempts with my hair covering my face.

Mitchy-matchy with the bean bag chairs.
Some people asked me if I was out of my mind wearing those shoes to the "beach"? The answer is no. They are unbelievably comfortable and easy to walk in :) 
I'm wearing Princess Mimi Bambi Grey contact lenses (WMM-305) from GOWI LENS.
And how about the sunset?

Many reviewers on Trip Advisor raved about how amazing the sunset there, but unfortunately for me, the weather was not so pleasant when I went there, so this was pretty much what I got ⤵

The sun was covered by dark clouds before it started raining a few minutes later and all of us had to move inside. T___T
I hope the second time I go there the place will be fully renovated, the weather will be at its best and I won't be on my period!

Trench Coat: 2 Ways

#1


As the title said, I am going to show you how to wear a trench coat in two ways. The first way here is more of a feminine-vintagey style, I think? :)




Trench Coat from Japan | GOWIGASA Navy Vintage Dress | GOWIGASA Bag | Pull and Bear Burgundy Hat | Inspired by Luce Flower Crown | Unbranded Shoes | GOWILENS Contact Lenses


#2



Style number two is more casual and playful with all the patterns and colors. I also wore my new favorite black boots from Cozbest, which I think complete the whole look. Thank you, Cozbest!

Anyway, today is our mom's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, mom! Although you drive us crazy sometimes, you are still the BEST mom a daughter could ever have. xx

Alright, we've reached the end of the post! I hope this post inspires you in some way :)
