Fall Into Pastel


Colour. But tender and delicate. Soft shades. The colour palette for Fall/Winter 2014-15 focuses on pastel hues.
–VOGUE Italia

Whether you pair your pastel pieces with neutrals, denim, deeper tones, or another soft colours, pastel will always make you look younger and sweet! And today we are going for a head-to-toe pastel look :) #girlymodeON


Absolutely in love with this shade of mint! It's just so dreamy and elegant at the same time. Kinda tiffany blue-ish. ♡


If you'd prefer a youthful look, try this skater skirt in powder pink! It will give you that 'girl-next-door' charm :)


 ♡ Sister love ♡
 Elle: See? I'm taller than you. ㅋㅋㅋ
Jess: . . .
Bunny pose! :D
...and no, that's not Elle's underwear. We checked. Many times.

Powder Blue


YES~~~

The title says it all; today's outfit theme is Powder Blue! ♡

We've been a fan of this angelic colour since Spring 2014; it's clean, delicate and elegant at the same time. Thus, we are so happy to finally bring it to you girls! This post will show you how we style the powder blue pieces :)

 Jess opted for a simple and clean style by pairing the powder blue shirt with capri pants in khaki and white flatform sandals.
We absolutely LOVE these pants Jess' wearing! Both the style and colour are timeless and versatile; we can think of many many ways to wear them!

Elle chose to pair this powder blue skirt with a louder shade of blue which gives a "fading" effect and touch of fun to the outfit :D
Mad love for this skirt! It hugs our waists perfectly, like not too tight and not too loose, and just at the right spot which is very flattering! The fabric is also very lightweight which gives a summery feel and is perfect for our warm climate :)
Anyway, a lot of you asked if Jess is taller than Elle or not. The answer is yes, Jess is taller by 2cm! Thanks to all the milk she's been drinking, we guess? haha

On Elle: Forever21 Blue Crop Top | GOWIGASA Powder Blue HW A-Line Skirt | Jeffrey Campbell Beige Boots 

On Jess: GOWIGASA Powder Blue Sleeveless Shirt (coming soon) and Khaki Capri Pants | Bershka White Flatform Sandals

Okay, see you guys in our next post and have an awesome Friday night! :D

We will spend ours at home watching some thriller movies hehe.. Elle's bff gave her this article a few days ago: "11 Criminally Underrated Horror Movies You Should Watch Immediately" and we've watched 3 of them already (3 days in a row!) haha.. We're planning to watch the rest of the list soon!

If you like thriller movies, you should definitely check it out! The ones we've watched are The Children, You're Next, and The House of the Devil. And our favourite is... You're NEXT!

XOXO

Easy Breezy Maxi Dresses

Good afternoon :)

Last week we had a short trip to Bali and these were our first outfits there!
We opted for these maxi dresses for our short flight because they are so easy to wear, comfy, figure-flattering, and very lightweight so we won't be suffering from Bali's famous heat! :D
 We personally love the neckline because it adds an elegant touch and it creates instant slimming effect by showing off our shoulders + collar bones! ;)

  Another thing that we love from this dress is how the elasticated waist accentuates our waistlines and gives us curves! :)
Oh! Did we mention that it also has SLITS that show just the right amount of skin? ♡
Jess' sandals: ALDO | Elle's sandals: ZARA

By the way, these dresses are parts of GOWIGASA's new arrivals which we just launched yesterday night!

We are SO excited to share this new collection because it features 100% of our quality improved, manufactured and self designed items!

Come visit GOWIGASA's website here (http://gowigasa.com/shop/all/all).

 We really hope you love them as much as we do! ♡

HOW TO: Paper Bunny Ear Headband [Video + Contest]

Hi, everyone!
Few days ago, I created a DIY Paper Bunny Ear Headband and today I'm gonna show you guys HOW! It's super easy and cheap and I promise you the result is pretty cute. ;D
Yes, I also made a tutorial video on Youtube for this. To watch it, you can click this link (bit.ly/paperbunny) or simply click play on this video. :D ↓
bit.ly/paperbunny

Preparation
First of, let's prepare the tools and materials you'll need to make this craft:

Scissor
Glue

Plain headband
You can find a headband like this almost everywhere! I bought this one for IDR 10,000 (USD 1) at an accessory store in a mall. XD

Paper 
You can draw the pattern of the bunny ears, or you can just download the pattern I made here:
Download link: bit.ly/pbehpattern
Simply download and print it as your guide. :D

Step by Step Tutorial

Step 01: CUT
Cut the pattern along the solid line. Do not cut on the dashed line (- - -) because it's where the fold should occur. There are two patterns here: one is the bunny ears, one is the tie.

Step 02: FOLD
Fold along the dashed lines.

Step 03: Glue
Put the glue on the middle of the fold.

Step 04: Wrap & Glue
Attach the 'tie' on the glued surface, then wrap it around the headband. Seal the end of the tie with the glue and stick it. Make sure it really sticks.

Step 05: WEAR
Now that your very own Paper Bunny Ear Headband is done, wear it happily!
