Jakarta...Meeting w/ other side's family.....and A beauty Pageant?!!!

Here we are, Jakarta!!!!

You still see lots of street vendors in most south east countries. 

I don't eat rice, period, but bread is one thing that I desire the most when traveling!!

Hubby and his brother said that this is a good spot for drinks!! I haven't have a chance to give it a try but sure I will in the next couple days!! ^^

The first mission in Jakarta is to meet up w/ hubby's family, relatives!!
Here we are!!!

No, we are not in Venetian hotel .... it is hubby's eldest brother's house.

The front door and then my parents stay at down stair's guest house...the one w/ metal bar window...yes, it is such an staple for Asia style as you probably well notice!! (The bar is to keep out of burglars.)

The second door from foyer to main lobby!


The painting up in the ceiling. 

The window that you can overlook from the third floor!

A formal dinner table w/ wall painting and high ceiling.


Family dinning room.

An instrument that I forgot the name of it... :P

Before dinner, we walk around the community. Niel, Abby and Ilona couldn't get enough of driving this electrical jeep.

By the swimming pool. 

• Vince boat neck top
• PH 8 draped skirt
• korea plum leggins
• Chanel 226 matte black reissue
• Chanel rose flip flop 2010

Can you guess how high is the ceiling?


I guess I have to get used to a HUGE family gathering w/ hubby's family asap ^O^!!


They are my hubby's cousins...and oh, they are so young, and all so pretty!! 
 
When I look at this picture, I thought they could be the best candidates for next Miss Indonesia. ^O^

Stay tuned!

Hope you can glean vicarious pleasure from the fun travel w/ me in Jakarta.

Nick Verreos: One of the Glam Squad "Threesome" in Kate Somerville "Complexion Perfection!" Book!!

Kate's "Glam" Angels...Three Musketeers: Make Up Artist Spencer Barnes, Designer Nick Verreos, Hair Stylist Darrel Redleaf

Last year, I was asked to be one of the "Make-Over" Glam Squad for this FABULOUS book from one of the TOP BEAUTY DIVAS from LA: Kate Somerville. No, I wasn't a subject but I got to glam three beautiful women up with my style expertise. Originally, I met Kate at an Awards Gifting Suite a couple of years back and ever since, I have been ADDICTED to her! Well, to be more specific, I SWEAR by her ExfoliKate and her Quench Hydrating Serum (and darlings, she's not paying me to say that!!). That reminds me, I need to order some more for my July Lecture Trip to Europe!!

Now, I wasn't alone in the Kate Somerville Glam Squad Threesome: The ladies also got the Make-Up expertise from sexy Spencer Barnes and the the "Hair GAWD", Darrel
Redleaf to help bring these three DIVAS into fruition. In March, the book Complexion Perfection! was finally published (love the exclamation mark!!) and I finally got to see the fantastic photos (by the incredible Jim Jordan) inside and the "Fashion Reveals" of the ladies I styled after they received the Complexion Magic Wand from Kate Somervile and her AMAZING products.

Here's a Taste of My Fashionista Gals, Shayne, Lori and Fay:
Studio 54 2010: Shayne, in Dian Von Furstenberg printed jersey dress, strappy gold heels and Jessica Elliot jewelry
Street Chic: Lori, wearing Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket and denim vest, Marc Jacobs Collection Pin necklace, Diane Von Furstenberg peep-toe pumps and H&M tank
Elegance Classique: Fay, in Diane Von Furstenberg mustard shirt dress, Badgley Mishka heels and H&M bracelets

I think the ladies look AMAZING! (if I don't say so myself, especially since I styled them!!) Now, if you want to see the "befores", you will just have to buy the book kiddies! The book is chalk-full of great tips, and "life-changing" skin regimens, and all the ingredients to make you the BEST from inside and out!
