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.

Jess' #OOTD: GOWIGASA Tiffany Bow Pleated Dress (soft yellow) 

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 TripAdvisor: ‟I 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:

York, England

Hello from York!

Well, actually I'm typing this in Newcastle, back to our airbnb. We only had a one-day trip to York yesterday! By 'we' I mean my bf, my bf's family and myself. Yes, sadly no Jess this time. :(

Talk about this trip, I almost canceled it due to our recent unfortunate event (the ticket was already bought before that), but after some consideration and input from close relatives, I decided to 'just say yes' :)

Anyway! Here are my outfit and some snippets of my York trip that I've already posted on Snapchat (elleandjess)! If you want to see some videos, follow us there! x

From Newcastle to York by train~

 Apparently we are allowed to take our pets on a train, even this big. Yay to that! :D

 First view in York, this peaceful park.

 And this river <3

 Ok, I'm gonna have to ask you this, what is so interesting about this pic above? Why are many of my Snapchat followers screenshotted it? One even DM-ed me saying the boy is so handsome hahaha, ok maybe that's why.

 Went to this section of York where there are so many cute restaurants, shops, and cafes!!

Visited The Cat Gallery and bought this mug and some wet food for the kids! :D

 Stop and eat sandwiches!

 Ok, gotta be honest here, the sandwich was not as good as it looked.

 The weather was starting to get colder, so we bought some ice cream to heat up our body's temperature. It failed tho.

 Doesn't look like it, but this is actually a castle.

 Visited McArthurGlen outlet!

 There is this shop that sells geek stuffs, like Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Batman, etc.

 And also unique stuff like this contact lens case!

 Random mini GOT figures!

 I got Viserion and Ned Stark! Hahah not bad. I was aiming for White Walker, Joffrey, and Daenerys though!!

Ending my York trip with a bowl of Japanese food haha, was craving for rice, that's why! xD

On a different note, there's a RAMADHAN SALE going on in GOWIGASA.com!

Make sure you don't miss out!

XOXO
