EL Kabron Restaurant and Cliff Club, Bali

Finally got the time to blog about this uber cool place I visited when I went to Bali last March: EL Kabron (Spanish) Restaurant and Cliff Club. Let's start with the place!!

The entrance.

The location is very secluded, or should I say, well hidden. It wasn't that easy to find this place as there weren't any signboards whatsoever– our taxi driver even had to ask several people to point out which road should we take to get there.

After going through the bad remote roads, we finally reached this place!!

The indoor area with a bar at the upper left. Half of the indoor area was being renovated due to the storm attack!

Here's where the beauty of EL Kabron kicks in... The Outdoor. We arrived there at around 3pm on weekdays so it wasn't crowded at all! :D

A swimming pool that resembles the shape of a sunny side-up egg.

That could be you ;)

Lilac bean bag chairs! Adorable or what?! I wish I could take one home!!

The newspaper hanging on the glass walls (upper left) and the people working in green shirts are what I was talking about: the place was being renovated. Fortunately there wasn't any disturbing noise coming from it :)

Me with my orange mix strawberry juice– just the way I like it! Oh by the way, we chose to be seated at the table first because it's more convenient to eat, and after that we moved to the bean bag near the pool to enjoy the scenery.

THIS is the only food I can eat there (Las Bravas del kabron - Spanish Fries with mayonaise and spicy sauce) as I was being a vegetarian back then /sob. But it was deliciousss, like salty and spicy with a bit of schweet, LOVE IT!

 //Moving on to the outfit...

Actually it was VERY windy out there, so here are some of the decent outfit shots I got after many failed attempts with my hair covering my face.

Mitchy-matchy with the bean bag chairs.

Some people asked me if I was out of my mind wearing those shoes to the "beach"? The answer is no. They are unbelievably comfortable and easy to walk in :) 

I'm wearing Princess Mimi Bambi Grey contact lenses (WMM-305) from GOWI LENS.

And how about the sunset?

Many reviewers on Trip Advisor raved about how amazing the sunset there, but unfortunately for me, the weather was not so pleasant when I went there, so this was pretty much what I got ⤵

The sun was covered by dark clouds before it started raining a few minutes later and all of us had to move inside. T___T

I hope the second time I go there the place will be fully renovated, the weather will be at its best and I won't be on my period!

Sporty with a Twist

This is just another way to rock a varsity jacket: mix it with a skirt!

I personally am crazy about the graphic and colors of the skirt, and how it pops out against the black&white, so thank you Motel Rocks! :D

In case you are wondering what lipstick I'm wearing in this post, it is Pink Nouveau by MAC <3

LION, TURTLE, AND LEOPARD

Turtlenecks have been my obsession lately, especially when they are cropped like this one I'm wearing! Been loving it when I first saw it on American Apparel website, and I was so happy when I found it in Topshop that I bought them in 3 colors right away <3 You've probably seen one of them in my post here.

Today I paired it with this rad leopard print pants from The Editor's Market which I find super comfortable and fit my body really well, especially in the waist part. Love it!

For accessories, I went with my favorite gold lion pendant necklace from GOWIGASA and I also put on a black belt to accentuate my waist.

I'm one of those people who get cold easily, that's why I always bring an outerwear when going out... just in case.

The same backpack with the one I was wearing here and here :)

Got nothing but LOVE for this gorgeous platform boots <3

Save Orangutans

The bad news:
Orangutans are in serious trouble.

As we know, now Orangutans population has declined due to the massacre in their own habitat, one of them in the area of natural forest in Kalimantan, which has now been converted into palm oil industry. According to the case since 2008, Orangutans murdered for being a destructive pest that must be exterminated. Ways to slaughter like a rifle shot, burned, tortured, if ways are still not successful, hunting dogs will be released to pursue Orangutans. There's even a contest with prizes of 500 thousand to 1 million rupiahs for capturing orangutans alive or dead.

The GOOD news:
We can still help them.

How?
By purchasing this awesome shirt from Wellborn Company for IDR 70.000 only! Wellborn Company will donate 100% of the sales profit to BOSF (Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation).

Let's participate for a good cause! Have a great weekend ahead guys! :)

How do you view money in life?

I view money as a very important factor in life, but it's not the most important. As a Taurus woman I always need security and stability, so I think of money as an instrument for assuring of a good living :D

So yeah, that's that. Thank you for reading, and please leave a comment below on how do you view money in your life, I'd love to know! :)

Nice People

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.
