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 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,

Valentine 2013 // Wet n Wild Giveaway Winners

Behold, the belated post of my Valentine's day dinner date at Scusa, a comfy, modern-stylish Italian restaurant located just inside Intercontinental Hotel, Jakarta. :)

\\ THE MENU \\

The menu was placed under this round glass, made a nice decor and also cleverly served as a placemat.

\\ THE FOOD \\

↑ Sweet Water Prawn Cocktail with preserved lemon ↑

↑ Lobster Bisque clams, langoustine and spinach tortellini ↑

↑ Sole Fillet zucchini and herb flan, tomato-basil chutney and saffron reduction ↑

↑ Wagyu Beef Tenderloin Parmesan potato cake and truffled veal jus ↑

↑ Chocolate Cake fresh cream, marinated strawberries and vanilla-almond ice cream ↑

\\ THE PLACE \\

The whole dinner experience was nice, the food was pretty in presentation but average in taste. The appetizers - Prawn Cocktail, Lobster Bisque and Sole Fillet were great, but we expected more for the main entry and dessert, which I thought weren't very good.

The ambience was casually romantic, the whole place was dimly lit, each table was presented with a pretty red rose for the lady and decorated with rose petals and a candle. A Jazz duo performing live on stage and romantic music would fill in whenever the musicians took a break or two.

Oh, and because it was Valentine's Day, the place was packed, I mean, REALLY packed with young couples dressing up and sitting across from each other, eating and throwing awkward conversations lol. So, if you are looking for a more private place, this might not be it. But if you're looking for a more casual-yet-you-can-still-dress-up fine dining moment, you know where to call:

Little Black Dress

"One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress."

— Karl Lagerfeld

As you know, Little Black Dress or LBD is considered essential for every woman's wardrobe. Not only its black color is figure-flattering on a woman's body, it goes with anything, for every occasion –at any hour of the day or night. Many women and fashion observers believe it's a "rule of fashion" that every woman should own a simple, elegant black dress. And I totally agree! Whenever you are unsure how to dress for an occasion, you can always rely on it.

The LBD I wore today is from Sheinside (another awesome web store). I really love the cutting and also the beading around the neckline and shoulders which gives it an edgy feel. I paired it with a vintage bag from GOWIGASA, black sheer stockings, black boots, a red wine hat from PullandBear, and a black skinny belt to define my waist.
