Chilly Weather

 ZARA Mustard Coat | GOWIGASA White Dual Pocket Sleeveless Shirt (as Inner) | ZARA 'Merci Bien' Top | GOWIGASA Emerald Green Skirt | Forever21 Heels

Fall has arrived in some parts of the world, but not in Indonesia; it's pretty much Summer all year long here. Anyway, it's the season when the leaves fall from the trees and it creates chilly weather. So, today for a Fall-themed outfit, I wore a three-layer outfit: White buttoned-up shirt under a grey shirt and a mustard wool coat over it. :)
Well, since I cannot stand cold weather, I'm pretty sure I'd add black tights to this outfit if I were actually in a country that experiences Fall/Autumn season. And maybe a scarf around my neck. And mittens. But, if I wore all of them in Jakarta, even if it's just for a half hour or so, I'd die.

Found this pretty wall on my way to the photoshoot location, so I just had to make a stop and took some pics there, hehe
So much love for this top, the material is very soft and cozy, and it's really flattering to my body!
Bumped into this cutie, Jean Tania while shooting :)

Again with the 90s + GOWIGASA Giveaway Winners #2

What I Wore: GOWIGASA American Flag Midriff Top, Commes des Fuckdown Beanie, Rayray Sunglasses, Spiked Bracelet | ZARA Ripped Jeans and Heels | Topshop Lipstick in Rio-Rio

I've been re-watching FRIENDS for God-knows-how-many-times, and I really love the style they wore back then, which was the 90s.

So for today's outfit, I opted to channel my inner 90s kid... A cropped top or the belly shirt, ripped jeans that make it appear like you've been through a fight, and a pair of red lips :)

Is there a certain trend from the 90s that you really love?
I know one trend that I hope won't make a comeback, that is Biker Shorts.
Oh, and butterfly clips.


Anyway, in case you didn't know, we were hosting the second Gowigasa Giveaway on our blog, and today we are so happy to announce our giveaway WINNERS!!

Back Home


What I Wore: Suite Blanco Top | GOWIGASA Blue High-Waisted Skirt | ZARA Houndstooth Bag | Sheinside Studded Leather Jacket | ZARA Heels

Got this beautiful top from Suite Blanco (Senayan City); beside the eye-catching prints, I also love the neckline of this top as it can show off your shoulders (it's a beautiful part of your body!) :D

I paired it with an electric blue high waisted skirt from GOWIGASA to make the outfit even more colorful, then added the studded leather jacket to toughen it up. For the final look I decided to slip into these delicate heels from ZARA to keep the feminine side alive.

Anyway, I just came back from 5 fabulous days in Bali. If you follow my Instagram (@elleyamada), you can see real-time photo updates when I was there :)



Well back home means back to work and back to healthy lifestyle! Wish me luck ;)

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.


Amber Avenue Bralet Top | Amber Avenue Lilac Pleated Maxi Skirt | ZARA Slim Bag | Decimal Shoes DIONA Shoes | House of Holland Sunglasses

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!
