A Peek At My Style: Salvatore Ferragamo Thin Passata Grosgrain Headband with Signature Vara Bow

Posted on 20 June, 2011 by J

Ah, the start of yet another brand new week! :) You know I found a way to make Monday blues go away. Instead of thinking, “It’s Monday. Again. SIGH. I don’t want to go to work/school. Why do I have to work/study???”, try thinking, “Woohoo! It’s Monday again! Yeah let’s go to WARRRRR!!!” and conquer everything. Feel better already? Err… No? It works for me. So yeah. If not, check out this article which offers some really useful and sensible advice. ;)

Did any of you manage to catch the lunar eclipse last week? On my way home in the evening, I saw the moon from the station – huge, bright, round and low. However, I don’t have a clear view of the skies from my place, and would have to go back to the station in order to catch the eclipse at 4am. I didn’t think it was a good idea since it was very late (or rather, early), so I ended up not witnessing the darkest night of the century.

Anyways, that night, I bought what I had been waiting for since April! Got a call from the Isetan Scotts store on Tuesday afternoon. :) After I paid for my purchase, I asked if there was any stock left (just in case some of you are keen!) and the sales assistant said they only received two pieces, both of which were reserved (one for me and the other for someone else). Seeing that Ferragamo has a few stores here, chances are the other stores will receive (or have already received) stock so there’s still hope!

A Chunk of My Weekday: Olfactory Journey at Chanel Fragrance and Beauty Boutique, Marina Bay Sands

Posted on 17 June, 2011 by J

How many of you are fans of Chanel’s fragrances? :)

Last December, I attended The Art of Baudruchage, an event held at the Chanel Fragrance and Beauty Boutique, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. At that event, I met Ms Jean Loy, Chanel’s Fragrance Specialist, who invited me to go on an olfactory journey in order to find the perfect fragrance for me. I made a mental note to see her on a less crowded weekday, but it wasn’t until last month (almost half a year later!) that I finally called her up to schedule an appointment.

At the boutique, Skye and I were ushered to a cozy corner where three tweed upholstered armchairs and a small glass table await. The glass table is in fact the Olfactory Bar, which contains ceramic blotters infused with Chanel’s fragrances, including the Les Exclusifs range which is only available at the boutique at Marina Bay Sands.

Unfortunately, photography is prohibited at the boutique. However, read on to find out what I bought, and what Chanel gifted me!

Advertorial

It’s mid week! Just two more days to the weekend, so hang in there! :)

For those of you who find yourself dreading work every morning (or screaming “I don’t wanna go to work!” before you fall asleep every night), I would like to highlight this – a recent poll ranked Singapore workers the world’s unhappiest. According to this recent article, “we least enjoy going to work, are the least loyal and have the least supportive workplaces”.

Are you nodding your head in agreement?

Do you secretly wish for a better job?

Have you submitted résumé after résumé to no avail?

Well, here’s your chance, because…

The Visumé Wars have begun!
