Queen Artha Beach

Hello Lampung!
Finally, I have time to go back to my hometown, even just for a week :"
For you guys who don't know where is it, it is located in Sumatera Island.
I really miss the beach here. As you know, we can't easily find beach in Jakarta -_-
So, today I decided to go to Queen Artha Beach.

This beach has not been known by many people. Hence, we can feel the nature really well <3
Smell of water, infinite sky, sea of sand are totally make you so relax and happy at the same time. It seems all your problem can disappear for a while.

The best time for coming here is at 4 or 5 o'clok in the afternoon. The weather is really friendly so you don't need to use your sunblock, especially for the girls ;p
hihihi
Besides, you can also enjoy the sunset after taking some pictures ;D

For you guys who interested, here I give you the address of this beach.
Jl. RE Matradinata, Pesawaran, Lampung, Indonesia.

Jetski Cafe Pantai Mutiara - Baywalk Mall

Going to the cafe will be the best decision to spend your weekend. We can chill, talk, and kill the time together. This time I choose Jetski Cafe which is located in Pantai Mutiara. My uncle told me that this cafe offer you an amazing scenery and delicious food too.

When I see the entrance door, I don't think that this cafe will be as good as my expectation. Honestly, I underestimate this cafe in a second. However, after I had seen the interior design and the view, this cafe totally amaze me that much.

The waiter gives some suggestion for me about the food. Finally, I choose to try the "Mie Jetomato" and "Green Tea Latte". The food is so yummy and the price is reasonable as well. I just need to pay Rp 40.000 for the food and Rp 30.000 for the drink (exclude the tax).

Then, I go to Baywalk Mall nearby the cafe to enjoy the sunset.

Floral - The Fashion Trend That Never Goes Out of Style

Wake up early in the morning and have nothing to do can make your brain think 100 times harder ;p
This happend to me on Sunday morning. I forget to turn off my daily alarm. Hence, I decided to took some pictures with the floral pattern as a background.

Have you noticed how some fashion ‘trends’ never actually go out of style? The little black dress, the denim jacket and the skinny jean are all good examples – whilst one of the biggest style statements that remains timeless is the floral pattern print. You can find floral pattern print everywhere - Dress, "wall background", shoes, accessories, clutch, and many more.

For those who enjoy a girly-girl approach to fashion, the floral print is a go-to in every season; with casual t-shirts, fitted cotton blazers and glamorous going out dresses all available with flowery embellishment.

Perhaps it’s the versatility of the floral print? With thousands of real-life plants to take inspiration from there’s really no end to how a flower pattern can appear. Beautiful floral prints will do as well to take ideas from dainty daisies as they will from bold sunflowers or wispy wild flowers. Ditsy patterns are often chosen for a formal setting, decorating office wear and elegant blouses. Whilst big brash floral patterns are great for statement bodycons or bright canvas tote bags.

Floral is one of those fashion features that can instantly make any woman feel feminine. Even if you take little interest in wildlife, there’s something refreshing and elegant about showcasing nature’s own beauty. Floral prints allow for a mix of colours – from pretty pastels to moody taupe shades.

Not sure how to work the floral trend? You don’t need to be head to toe in flower prints to celebrate this feminine style. Team a pretty floral dress with a more masculine leather or denim jacket for a rock-chick edge or choose a floral blazer on top a plain black midi. If you want to work floral, but to a minimum, a floral pumps or a printed clutch purse are excellent understated accessories.

Maja House (Sugar and Cream)

Maja House is one of my favourite venue in Bandung: It is a bar, a restaurant and also a nightclub on weekends. This is my first time to come here. I know this place from my senior. He said that this place is so comfortable. Hence, I decided to give a try to visit this place. As with all the places located in Dago, the view is astonishing, especially at night (but believe me the weather is so cold, therefore bring something warm, or rent a blanket for Rp15.000). Don't worry ! The food price is still very affordable (around Rp 90.000 for an average meal + drink). The restaurant's name is Sugar & Cream and it is part of the Maja house. There, you can lay down on one of its bed, relax, and enjoy the view with lounge music in the background. It's so comfy!

Although Maja House is a little bit far from the city center, maybe around 30 minutes from Jalan Asia Afrika, but the ride also is worth it as it takes you in the hills around Bandung. If you are a flower lovers, I bet you like the way to go here. It's all flowers on the right and left side on the way to reach Maja House.
