Brunch Ladies | #HoverFinger No More with VISA

Brunch time sometimes calls for shopping time. And where else we can shop while we're sitting around, eating out with our friends with just a few clicks? Online, of course!

...when writing the sentence up there, we came to realize that we are NOW living in such an advanced future where few decades ago it must not be possible, not even imaginable by most people, we believe, that we could ACTUALLY do that (shopping while eating with just our fingers). Pretty lucky, eh, all of us? ^^v *zen moment*

There's a tad bit arguments going on for shopping online, however, and most of the time, it's about safety: Can I trust this webstore? What if my money get lost? What if the item I ordered get lost? What if I receive a damaged or a wrong item? ...And the paranoia list goes on and on that makes your finger stop clicking that "buy" button and THIS is, fellows, THE #HoverFinger a.k.a. the culprit that keeps causing you to lose that limited or special item you've been looking for ages, causes you to miss that special deal, et cetera. (˘̩̩ᴗ˘̩̩ƪ)



How to deal with #HoverFinger, then? Read this comic! ;)

Lol we had lots of fun making this comic!! XD
More info of #HoverFinger at: http://curehoverfinger.com

Okay now that the shopping time is done, let's do some other serious businesses that we gals do during brunch! Like... 1. chatting and munching these pretty stuffs (and of course, taking pictures of them before we gobble them whole):
Mother Nature Smoothie | Healthy sour-n-sweet drink consists of strawberry and other fruits. Tasted beet root(?) out of this drink, too. ^^b
Ferrero Rocher | scrumptious moussy chocolate dessert with biscuit base and mini choco bar on top

Location: Odysseia Restaurant, Pacific Place SCBD Jl. Jend Sudirman Kav. 52-53 South Jakarta 12190

2. Taking pretty-faces group selfies...

Stella was having eye redness and stuff so she had to wear those shades the whole time. B)

2a. Bonus group selfie feat. James angry expressions lol



3. Taking another selfies~

4. ...and with even prettier faces this time 
Feat. Moon annoyed expressions lol (and a nonchalant one up there)! 

5. Not forgetting the very important outfit shots: 
On Elle: GOWIGASA Lacey Top & Skirt (upcoming collection)


On Jess: GOWIGASA French Bow Polkadot Midi Dress Red, Forever21 Heels
6. And of course, another last group selfie to seal the day!
Okay then, thank you so much for reading and see you guys on our next post~ (ˆˆ)づ♡

Vue Beach Club, Bali Review


When I asked Vincent (my bff who's currently staying in Bali) to suggest a restaurant with a nice view to take pictures, and particularly not crowded, this place came to his mind!

Vue Beach Club is a considerably new establishment with minimalist and sleek design located in Lv8 Resort Hotel, Canggu, Bali (near Seminyak). It has a modern yet cozy feel with breathtaking scenery as you can see below:
The infinity pool. Not quite sure, but I think it's 100K IDR for a dip.
It was unbelievably HOT in the afternoon (the kind of hot that stings!) and they only had ONE freaking umbrella for the lounge chairs and that couple on the far right got it! T____T So we had to sit pretty far from the pool to avoid the sun.
All blue at Vue! :) Dress and sunglasses from GOWIGASA's next arrival.
P.S. GOWIGASA is launching New Collection VERY SOON on Monday, June 2nd 2014 at http://gowigasa.com/shop/all/all. Save the date, girls~~~(ˆˆ)づ♡
Can you believe we took most of the pictures around 5pm (when it wasn't that hot anymore), but it was still so bright!! :O
The more colorful side of Vue (the Cabana).
Had to tie my hair because of the cray-cray wind.
Here you can see how spacious this place is!
People started flooding in around 4-5pm. Maybe they steered clear of the sun too? ^^
You cannot see it, but there is a direct access to the beach where you can play with dogs!! You can also bring yours if you want! #pluspoint
I can't say much about their food since I only ordered Spaghetti Aglio Olio and this Iced Lychee Tea. But both of them were good. I requested the pasta to be extra spicy and they didn't disappoint me. :D The staff were friendly and attentive too! But not the annoying-attentive type lol.
Till next time, Vue!
