Dressing Up Our MacBooks with XiaoMeiShop♡

What's better than a Macbook? A dressed-up Macbook, for sure! We got these funky stuffs from @xiaomeishop *YAYYY* and today we're gonna review them for you. :D


Packaging

Love how the stuffs are nicely packed and wrapped in bubble!

Ready for the babes?



Elle's Haul

Brown Kade laptop bag, gold case, ScreenGuard, CrystalGuard gold keyboard protector


Closer look
Elle's #OOTD: GOWIGASA Chloe Top in Green and Audrey Lace Skirt in Cream | ALDO Bracelet



Jess' Haul

Green laptop bag, clear transparent case, ScreenGuard, CrystalGuard white keyboard protector, Totoro Decal Sticker



How to use the decal. Super easy and the result is long lasting as well!

Really adore my Totoro Macbook! XD 

The keyboard protector. It makes my keyboard look cute and protects it from dust or from getting scratched out by Bolu, but to be honest, I'm not a fan of keyboard protector because I can't feel the keyboard (if any, it makes the keyboard feels 'chubby') and it makes me type slower than usual. Elle and mom enjoy using it, though.
The green laptop bag! A bit too tight for the Macbook + case inside, but love how pretty the color is and the quality is very good, very protective. The inside is soft and the outside is tough. There's also a zipper on the front side of the bag. But if I had to choose, I'd choose this leather case:
Jess' #OOTD: GOWIGASA Aimee Blazer (pink), Knit Sleeveless Top (grey), HW Denim Shorts 
It's not as protective as the bag and I love the color just the same (earth colors ftw!) but it still protects my Macbook well and look how slim and stylish it is!

Jakarta Day Out with Antonio #ItalianGoesLocal!

Earlier this month, we got a friendly invitation from this friendly Italian guy. Apparently he's traveling around Asia and would love to drop by Jakarta to have some good food and local experiences as part of his #ItalianGoesLocal quest. So, here we are exploring Jakarta for a few hours with him!


Antique Flea Market at Jl. Surabaya

To be honest, this is also our first time here at Jalan Surabaya; a spot in Menteng, Central Jakarta, famously known as a street filled with antiques for sale. We knew this place from Instagram (where else lol) but never got a chance to visit, so while Antonio's here, let's visit this tourist spot together, as tourists. (ノ≧▽≦)ノ*:・゚✧

Some photos from Antonio's Facebook because we were too busy roaming the street that we didn't took proper pictures of these beauties:
Love how friendly and polite the sellers were.

Wait, Jess DID took this picture ^^ 
Read a review about this place from TripAdvisorI decided to write this review after visiting an antique store in Kemang in Jakarta where most of the expats live where I saw similar antiques for 3-4 times the price you will find in Jalan Surabaya so it is definitely worth the trip if you want something unique at a good price!

Elle's OOTD:  GOWIGASA Dual Pocket Sleeveless Button-Up (Black) | Rakriz White Vest | Love, Bonito Shoes and Bag | H&M Skirt

Antonio said this place has a lot of things reminding him of his childhood..
...we assume that Indonesian and Italian kids share some things in common, then? ^^


Lunch at Talaga Sampireun

OKAY IT'S FOODIE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Took Antonio to this place because not only the food is awesome, the view is nice as well.


We were seated in one of these 'saungs', where we can sit on the floor -like how some locals like to eat, and we can also do fish feeding here on the lake! Fish food is sold for IDR 7000 per pack.


Indonesian food FTW!
Our favorite dish of the day: MUSHROOM SATAY or SATE JAMUR TIRAM. Soooooo freaking delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All three of us couldn't stop praising it the whole time lol.

Antonio's cooling off his tongue with Es Kelapa Muda (Chilled Coconut Water) after spicy foods attack. (≧▽≦)づ

Elle does not think they're that spicy, though. 

Jess' OOTD:  GOWIGASA Teddy Bow Plaid Shirt (Blue) and HW Skirt (Red) | Charles n Keith Bag | Forever21 Shoes


Jess was taking this picture when this woman came through and even though Jess has stopped posing and asked her to just continue passing on, she just stopped there, looking at her phone and... It went on for awhile, so Jess just continued taking pics instead hahaha. Can you sense the awkwardness? X"D

And that's all for our little Jakarta adventure with our new Italian friend, Antonio! If you want to follow his adventure across Asia, he's right over here, documenting his #ItalianGoesLocal memories:

Mermaid Curls with Elona Fusilli & Penne | Hair Tutorial + GIVEAWAY!

I have always been a hair curlers/straighteners dummy. Never been really able to use it no matter how Elle taught me lol, so every time I was having a photoshoot or an event to attend, I HAVE to go to the salon to get my hair done. Not only it costed more, it was also quite a waste of time, considering Jakarta's heavy traffic.

Now, thanks to this Elona Fusilli & Penne, I am no longer subjected to such things!
Say hello to (waving) wavy hair!


Elona Fusilli & Penne

So what is this Elona Fusilli & Penne exactly? It's basically a 2-in-1 auto curler and straightener, which has been my favorite hair styling tool since 2014. It's very fast and easy to use, even for a hair curler newbie like me, and the result is amazing! It takes me only 10 to 15 minutes to create salon-like pretty hair and now I never travel without it. :D
