50s Style Bangs ala Bettie Page

Hello! Lately, I've been looking on how to make 50s pinup girl hairstyle, especially Bettie Page's curly bangs. As you may already know, I love playing dress up with vintage style, and one of my favorite eras is the 50s! However, I'm not really good with vintage hairstyles, and I always mess my hair up in the end @__@

Betty Page's bangs, in the other hand, is simple yet cute and so easy to do! For me, since I already have bangs, I just need to roll it downside using the traditional hair roll. For long hair without bangs, I searched for tutorials on Youtube on how to create the rolled up/curly bangs, and found several videos. I found that this tutorial from JessiBombshell is one of the simplest one to follow :)

Okie, so here's how I curl my bangs!

Look At My Pretty Nails: Balinese Frangipani Nails

Hello! I finally did my graduation photo shoot with my family last Sunday! It's a tradition in Indonesia for Bachelor's Degree graduate to have a proper photo studio shoot wearing the graduation robe and kebaya (if you're a girl, of course!) with your family.

I'm so excited because this is my first time wearing kebaya. It's a traditional clothing from Indonesia btw. This is how the kebaya looks like during my fitting. It's slightly too big, but the tailor will take care of it :)

Pretty in pink!

Vacation to Puncak

Hi hi! As I mentioned before, I went to Puncak during Hari Raya last week. I went there along with my family, as well as my auntie's family from Surabaya. 

A little background about my auntie's family: when her first son was born, due to the Chinese belief, her parents-in-law said that the chinese zodiac of her son and my auntie crashed, therefore she needs to find new "parents" for her son. My auntie asked my parents to "guipang" her son, it's kind of like becoming godparents for her son, but he calls my parents mama and papa as well.

After that, my auntie had her second child, and this time the chinese zodiac crashed again -__-" But she asked another relatives from her husband's side to guipang their daughter. However, we think it's very confusing if her brother calls my parents mama and papa but she calls my parents auntie and uncle --" So now, both of my auntie's children call my parents mama and papa as well! I know this sounds so confusing, but Chinese beliefs are actually very confusing as well @_@

Anyway, both kids are very close to my family, even though they live in Surabaya and we live in Jakarta, and we only see each other once or twice a year. They both call my sister and I jiejie too :D

Here's their picture with me and my sist hehehe. Our lil' bro name is Fulgen and our meimei's name is Eugene <3 The two angels in my life!

l-r: Fulgen, my sist, Eugene, me

Look At My Pretty Nails: Pastel Leopard

Hello! New nail post yay! 

After spending the last week by going to Puncak with my family (will blog about that soon), finally got time to blog about this kawaii design :D 

I was in Sanrio shop and saw this adorable My Melody soft toy. Instead of the regular pink ears/hoodie, she wears pastel leopard print ears! 

Pastel leopard!

Sorry for the ugly photo, I took it secretly since there is a no camera policy in the shop sob sob. Anyway, you can see that actually some of the "leopard" prints are in flower shape! SO ADORBS OMG.

You can see the clearer picture of the My Melody in here from Bong Qiuqiu's blog.

Anyway, here's what I came up with for the nail design...

Kawaii <3
