Rosso and Rock Bar, Bali

Let's rewind to the time when my feet just landed in Bali, July 18.

It was late enough when I got there because I missed my flight, so all I did for the rest of the day were check-in to the hotel, rest for a bit, and have a nice dinner with my friends at Warung Made (no pictures taken there, but I recommend the Nasi Campur!). Afterward, we went on to Rosso (dine & lounge) just to enjoy the lounge and have a dessert. The place is on the sidewalk, but not as lame as in Jakarta where the pollution interferes. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and the seats were spread out enough so we can enjoy our conversation without any competition from others.

Will we be back? Definitely.

The highlight: Bailey's Soufflé for the dessert ♥

Going back to the hotel (Maxi Hotel) on Delman Dokar (thanks for the correction, Bie)! I think the last time I got on it was when I could hardly walk.

// DAY 2 //

We went to Dreamland on the second day to enjoy the beach (you can read the post here). After that, we decided to pamper ourselves and catch the sun set at the most spectacular bar in Bali, ROCK BAR.

Rock Bar is an open-topped bar located at Ayana Resort and Spa Bali which takes the concept of "on the rocks" to a whole new level. They offer breathtaking 360-degree views from every single vantage point.

Arrived at AYANA.

Queuing. The queue line is divided into two lines (left and right). The right one is for the hotel guests only, talk about privileges.

Finally the long queue is over (about 30 minutes). After the queue, we had to wait for the inclinator to arrive to 'get down' to the bar.

(Almost) Sun set.

Tadah! This is the inclinator I was talking about.

Took a picture first while waiting for the table. By the way, you can see my whole outfit on that day here.

Unique style of the menu.

The Cocktails.

The Snacks - Calamari Fritti and Chicken Pop Corn. (They don't serve main course)

Stephanie - Angie - Olivia

And finally... a beautiful S U N S E T that warmed up our hearts.

"The magic of the Rock Bar is to feel the sea close to you and enjoy the coastal scenery and the surf," says Yasuhiro Koichi, the designer.

Quick Facts:

- Regular opening hours: 4pm-1am everyday (until 2am on Friday - Sunday)

- Dress code: Smart attire; no singlets or boardshorts, and no alcohol-branded attire.

Walk Through the Light

This is one of my Bali outfit posts, actually I wore this outfit right after me and my friends spent our time at Dreamland (the activity post will be uploaded later), but I took these pictures on the other day when the sun still shines brightly, which is my favorite time to capture photos of my outfit!

And the results are LOVEEEEE!! Thanks to the sweet location and the photographer! ;)

Look at that fresh blue sky! I can't believe Jakarta and Bali belong to the same country.

Forever21 top and bracelet.

My new sandals from Payless! You can visit the store at Central Park Mall, the store layout may not be pretty but they do have some cute and relatively cheap footwear.

HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE!!

Dreamland, Bali

Due to the massive amount of pictures I took in Bali, I decided to upload them separately.

The first part (this one you're reading at) is when my friends and I went to Dreamland on the 2nd day of my trip, the day that has successfully burned my skin.

Okay, ENJOY THE PICTURES!!

Snapped a picture as soon as we arrived at the beach, before our hair got messed up.

Angie / Olivia / Stephanie / Me.

Our very own photographer. 

My favorite picture of Olive ♥

Wtf my lips look swollen after eating jagung bakar. It tasted real good though -salty and spicy!

Mbok2 at Dreamland are VERY persistent at giving you a massage!

After finished sun-bathing for about 3 hours, we decided to take pictures again!! (Olive was still enjoying her massage behind)

Freaking love the sea color!!

Our last picture at Dreamland♥ We took off at 3-4pm when the beach got crowded.

// RANDOM SHOTS //

I wish Jakarta had a beach like this.

Hottie detected!!

Here's a lovely picture to end the entry. Have a fab weekend everyone!! :)

Mustard Pants

GOWIGASA Top and Mustard Pants (New Arrival!) ♥

I think that was the first time I went to the cooking section... and only for posing.

Fyi, Jess bought that vintage necklace from her friend for IDR 20K only!!

The pants come in three colors, as you can see from my previous post here, that's the soft pink color.

My fave shoes at the moment from BERSHKA!

Floating on a Sunny Day

Before I went to Bali last week, one of my favorite Lookbookers (Johanne) asked me if I was interested to participate a picture collaboration with some other amazing LBers for fun. The idea is doing a flying-effect-picture like jumping or doing 'fake-levitation'. I was instantly EXCITED because this is my first levitation picture ever, but the problem was... the deadline. They wanted it to be uploaded on Sunday (24/07) whereas that was the day I went home from Bali. So, I decided to post my look today!! Hope you enjoy it and maybe you can try it too! ;)

The details ♥

Here are some incredible levitation photos on lookbook.nu:

Clockwise: Anna W, Kani, Cathie N, Johanne D, Anastasia S, Any T, Bobby R, and the KING of levitation pictures, Mike Quyen!
