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

Dizzy Little Dotty

Hi, here we go again with the typical outfit post, hehe..
Don't worry, that does not mean Japan's post is over. I just think it will be more interesting if it is interspersed with some outfit posts in Jakarta. :)
 

Introducing Dizzy Little Dotty, an Australian based label where you can find artistic t-shirts that is a little different to your usual mainstream tees. Actually the pictures printed on the shirts are the owner's very own artworks, awesome eh?

Her name is Lauren Carney, she is a very talented artist who inhabits the city of Brisbane. If you are a fan of fun, playful, and quirky characters, then you should really check out her art HERE and her shop HERE.

Oh, almost forgot! I am also fascinated by the quality of the fabric (so soft!) and... the neckline. In case you were not aware, the neckline is a very important part of a garment. Look out for the ones that can enhance your body shape and flatter your figure.

Some of the types of neckline. Image courtesy of this site.

My all-time favorite is scoop neck that is not too low, just like the type of neckline from Dizzy Little Dotty here. The reason is because it can elongate my neck! >:D

Yeah, I am wearing this mustard high-waisted skater skirt again. Jess and I are so in love with the line and how it "hugs" our waist like they are meant for each other. We decided we are taking one of each color of this skirt! Hehe.. For those who asked, yes this skirt will be included in GOWIGASA's new arrival on Monday, Dec 17! :D

I got this blazer from Forever21 in Japan and I was sooo happy when I found it. I've been looking for this green shade for a long time and this is just perfect! Also this blazer was their last item and happened to be my size! Lucky!!

Fawn Tee from Dizzy Little Dotty. I love you Lauren Carney!

Red Tartan Bag from GOWIGASA (will also join the family on Monday, Dec 17). Anyway the color combinations here kind of remind me of traffic lights -___-

For shoes, I am wearing these Batik print boots from Laceorie to spice up my whole outfit, and I absolutely love the beautiful prints and how easy they are to walk in them. You can see my first pair from Laceorie HERE.

Btw, today is my baby bro's birthday! Happy birthday you busy monkey! Always stay true to yourself and treasure that loving heart of yours. X

My favorite photo of him holding a baby Samoyed.

That being said, I'll see you guys on my next post! :D

Reach for the SKYE!

If you follow my Instagram (@elleyamada), you've probably seen this sequin dress and the blue mocktail on the table. And you may have noticed that the photos were like two weeks old already– sorry for the late post!

Anyway, that day I wanted to get some lunch and fresh air to clear my head, and SKYE is the perfect place to find them.

Located on Menara BCA's 56th floor, SKYE's main attraction will obviously be the view over the city's skyline. The place is divided into two sections– there is an outdoor bar area and there is the main restaurant section which is again divided into smoking and non-smoking area.

One section of the restaurant with floor-to-ceiling glass on two sides where people can also enjoy the amazing views from indoor spaces.

The other section of the restaurant.

//FOOD&BEVERAGE

The appetizer snack, Fried Calamari.

This is my main course, Scattered Sushi– Sushi Rice, Hamachi, Tuna,Salmon, Shima Aji, Eel, salmon roe, Egg, Sushi Rice, Black sesame, snow pea, Shitake mushroom, salmon skin.

It is very tasteful and I love everything in it, except the Ginger. And the sauce over the rice makes it more scrumptious! I will definitely come back for more of this ♥

'Forget Me Not' Mocktail. So refreshing and not too sweet, love it!

BAR//

(+ vain pictures)

Taking in the stunning views over Jakarta city landscape on the outdoor terrace of the lounge.

I put on my Dolly Wink falsies No. 17 and I LOVE them sooo much. The price doesn't lie!

The place is much less crowded in the afternoon. So if you prefer city night view, I suggest you to make a reservation in advance.

Does the color of the sequin of my dress remind you of a mermaid's tail? :)

Last pic of (blurry) me and the views!

Anyway, I also managed to make a short video of this place, enjoy! xxx
