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.

On Elle: GOWIGASA Black Artemis Bag

Viparo Dress | June and Julia Shoes

On Jess: GOWIGASA Black Floral Dress and Sheer Black Stocking

Swaychic Heels

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 session ﹣even 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? ;)

X O X O,

So Long and Goodnight

What I Wore: Topshop Turtleneck Crop Top and Necklace | GOWIGASA Green Plaid Shorts, Grey Oversized Coat, and Luna Bag | June and Julia Mustard Heels

My sleep pattern has been totally screwed up lately, I don't get to sleep until 4-5am and get up at 3pm. You might think it's nice to sleep for like 10 hours, but no no no, too much sleep actually makes you feel tired! It can also cause puffy eyes wtf.

I'm trying to find ways to straighten it out, so if you have any suggestions to adjust your sleep schedule, please comment down below! Thank you very much :)

Double Acid

What I Wore: Shredded Back Cropped Top from Somewhere store in Bali | GOWIGASA Acid Washed Denim Jacket | shopAKIRA Acid High Waist Jeans | VIPARO Hologram Cap | June and Julia LOLA Boots

I love denim especially when it is acid wash like these vintage high rise pants from shopAKIRA and jacket from GOWIGASA.

The pants.
It's hard for me to fall in love with pants (I usually go with shorts), but this pair of pants is an exception. First off, it is high rise and it fits my waist perfectly, it's medium weight, and I freaking love the stretch fabric of these pants– it doesn't make my legs feel trapped.

The jacket.
What more can I say? It's acid wash, it gives you a little bit of retro chic slash punk rock vibe to your look without looking too much. It's officially my new favorite wardrobe staple :)

The cap.
Either you love it or hate it, but the holographic trend is making the fashion pack take notice. Designers such as Stella McCartney, Jonathan Saunders, Hugo Boss and Burberry experimented with the metallic, bold, oil-like print. Are you bold enough to try it? –VIPARO

Nice People

Sheinside Bart Sweater | GOWIGASA Peterpan Collar Top (as inner) | Forever21 Cobalt Blue Pants | JuneandJulia Lola Boots | GOWIGASA Backpack

Just got back from our short trip to Bandung. Although it was a business-purpose trip but we had a lot of fun AND lessons as we met many talented, smart, funny, yet so humble people (my favorite kind of people!) ♡
Thank you Bisma Karisma and Theo Faybriean for being kind and helpful hosts. Nice people DO exist! :)

QOTD:
For what it's worth: it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

Safe and Sound

Houndstooth Peplum Top and Cross Necklace – Shibuya 109

Galaxy Skirt – GOWIGASA

Cinderella Shoes – June and Julia

Bag – Charles & Keith

I know I've posted some previews of this post on my Instagram like a week ago, but due to the major floods that has occurred recently in Jakarta, I was not able to blog because my family and I had to evacuate to our cousin's house that were not affected by it. #excuses

Anyway, I hope all of you are safe and sound now! I heard there will be another flooding, so please be prepared!

Ending the post with pictures of puppies (Hyde's babies):

GREEN VELVET

"Dark green is my favorite color. It's the color of nature and the color of money!"

–Leonardo DiCaprio

You've seen my post wearing a red velvet skirt, right? (Click if you haven't!)
Well, say hello to her sister which shares the same beauty and elegance... Green Velvet! Lol.
In case you are wondering, they still have one little sister which you'll get to meet tomorrow at GOWIGASA's new arrival!! ;D

This time I chose to wear the skirt in a less feminine style than the red velvet one. I paired it with my GnR cropped tee from H&M, which you may have seen it in my old post; LOLA boots from JuneandJulia (I feel like I haven't worn them in ages!), and I'm wearing black sheer tights to give the overall look an extra sense of mystery.

For accessories, I just went simple with my usual black hat, a gold chain necklace from forever21, and a studded skull sling bag from GOWIGASA.

Don't forget to stop by our web store tomorrow at 11am as we are uploading so many new stuff! XD
