Le Pirate Beach Club - Candy Land in Bali

 On my last trip to Bali, I visited this dreamy, colourful, insta-worthy place located at Nusa Ceningan, Le Pirate Beach Club.
When I first saw it on Instagram, I couldn't believe how pretty it was! And the best part is, it's as pretty as the pictures! 

If you'd prefer watching to reading, you can watch my Vlog here.

//GETTING THERE//

We wanted to stay there for two nights, but it was fully booked so we decided to make it a day trip instead. A day before our flight, we called Le Pirate to arrange our transportation from the airport to Le Pirate, and back to the airport again.
 Upon arrival (around 8am), we stored our luggages here at the airport (cost IDR 50,000/day). Then, we met our driver at the designated place at 9am. Now off we go to Sanur beach to take a speedboat!
 It took around 45mins, and we were greeted by this shell-less mermaid statue.
 Here's the complete list of the boats. Ours was the bottom left (speedboat to Nusa Lembongan - Mushroom Bay).
You will pass through this colourful alley before reaching the pick-up point.
 Sampai! We took the 11:30am boat.
Waiting, waiting...
 Enjoying the beach view for a minute.
 Yay! Our boat has arrived!
 We must first took off our sandals... to keep the boat clean, I guess? They will give them back to you once you reach Nusa Lembongan, don't worry.
 After a 30-minute boat ride, we arrived at Nusa Lembongan! Look at the clear water 

Then our guide got us a rental car to get to Nusa Ceningan. You can also rent it yourself there (either a car or motorbike).
The bridge was so cute, it would be a sin not to take a picture.
Picked up by Le Pirate staff on a motorbike at the end of the bridge.
If you can ride a motorbike, you might as well rent one at the boat drop-off point to explore the island.

//LE PIRATE//
 Yesss! We finally arrived at this gorgeous place!! Aaand my camera ran out of battery. So, we headed straight to the restaurant to charge the battery and ordered ourselves some fried bananas and banana pancakes! Not tasty, I must say...
But they got beer, so it's all good :D
 After my battery was fully charged, we went straight to shoot! We only got time until 3pm, so we must be quick! (3:30pm was the pick-up time)
The pool 
Uber cute parasol!!
 The cliché pose lol.
Freaking love the colour combo here!!!
I wish I could take this beach chair home with me!
 Some of you asked where did I buy this heart sunglasses. I bought it at one of the stores on Takeshita Street, Harajuku, Japan :)
 Braided my hair to "survive" the flight, boat, and motorbike rides, lol. *I'm so thoughtful*
Here's the "Beach Boxes" where you can spend the night, SO CUTE I KNOW! And they only have 10 boxes in total, TEN! That's why you need to book in advance. The sooner you book, the bigger your chance of getting a room! Note that a minimum stay period of 2 nights is required.
Btw don't expect a spacious room here. This one is for 1-2 persons (IDR 700,000/night):
Yup, that's it! But it's equipped with air conditioning, so I guess it's comfortable enough.
↑ This is the Bunk Bed type (max 4 persons) - IDR 700,000/night
 Private outdoor bathroom with shower, wash basin and toilets (no hot water).

↓ Freshened up a bit with this piña colada from the cocktail pool bar.
 Again, not so tasty, but fresh enough and insta-worthy, lol.
This dress 

Spending our last few minutes at The Lounge 
Changed outfit again! And I love these culottes like a lots!
Messy braids
 Happy day is happy! ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ

Went back to the boat pick-up point on a motorbike again, and saying goodbye to this view 
 Arrived at Sanur beach, and look at all the sandals 
 Just don't wear your favourite sandals or shoes ok!
Overall, I love how beautiful, private and secluded Le Pirate is. Perfect for those who need to take a break from all the hustle and bustle. :)

Oh anyway, as I said earlier, we arranged a pick-up and drop-off from Le Pirate Beach Club including: airport pick-up, car ride to Sanur beach, speedboat ride to Nusa Lembongan (Mushroom Bay), car&motorbike ride to Le Pirate Beach Club then back to Mushroom Bay, speedboat ride back to Sanur beach, car ride back to the airport; all of them for IDR 1mil for 2 persons. It would be cheaper if you go there by yourself, of course. Good luck! And if you have any questions, just leave a comment down below :)

Bali Wedding + Good News for Shopaholics!

Hello!

Here's some lovely snippets from the wedding I attended this past weekend in Bali.
The groom, Erick, is one of my bf's close friends and he and his wife, Decy, has been together for 7 years! They are such good people, I'm so happy they finally tied the knot :)
The sun was SO bright that the wedding organiser were handing out sunglasses at the entrance for all the guests, including the bridesmaids! 8)
The vow...
…and the kiss!
Haha I love Erick's expression here! xD
The first dance. They look so cute together, aren't they? :)
I didn't take any pictures of the food, but it was amaaazing! The shrimp, the pork ribs, the sambals, EVERYTHING. URGH. I'm drooling right now reliving it!

Congratulations once again, Erick and Decy!
Best wishes for a happy life together! :D


OUTFIT

What I Wore: Suite Blanco Top | GOWIGASA Blue Maxi Skirt | Whiting Davis Cage Minaudiere Clutch Gold | Jason Wu Mustard Leather Buckle Sandals

I chose my new maxi skirt in blue from Gowigasa for that elegant and classy look, plus it can also be my "something blue" for the wedding hehe. I paired it with this sleek gold clutch that I got from Shopbop. Like finally, my quest for a formal-yet-stylish clutch is over!! Fyi, it comes with a chain strap for convenient carrying, but you can also tuck it inside perfectly when not in use. :)

For shoes, I wore these leather sandals in mustard to tone down the 'gold'. They are surprisingly VERY comfortable despite the height, I swear! And you know what? I also got them from Shopbop! They DO carry a lot of pretty things! I always spend so many hours browsing their store to find the *perfect* ones.
