I tend to acquire decants and samples when I'm in a midst of a crash out (I'd buy actual perfumes whenever I'm in dire mental straits if my funds allow me but it does not!), so might as well put my quick thoughts about them. I'll try to update this list as I try new ones. Bath & Body Works ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (I have repurchased these) Wild Honeysuckle - FANTASTIC! One of their more complex fragrances that I've tried. Honey right out of the gate. Smells briefly of kisses (type of aroma beads that was popular in the 90s). Then you get a burst of overwhelming jasmine flowers before settling in to subtle medley of florals. Disappointing longevity however, even for a fragrance mist. Wish I could find something that smells the same but would stay much longer. Moonlight Path - Smells like powdery, musky flowers. Some people would say old lady perfume but this is actually one of my favorites. THE PERFECT BEDTIME SCENT! One thing I've learned is scents either get reformulat...

Kiko Mizuhara recently attended her first Met Gala, which was a huge surprise because she dropped no hints about it at all. Just a few hours before it started, she posted a photo on Instagram about getting ready to attend and taking over V magazine's IG story covering the Met Gala.
A short background on the Met Gala. It's an annual charity event for Met Museum'sCostume Institute, where they get most of their funding. Around 600 people attend this event (although the number is less this year), where tickets start at $20000 for attending and reportedly may go as high up as a $250000 for a table inside. Celebrities go in for free but they are very picky about selecting the attendees. Anna Wintour, Vouge editor-in-chief and chair of this event has the final say on the guest list. Inside the ball, there is entertainment and dinner for the guests, as well as them getting the first look at the exhibition.
The theme this year, which a lot of attendees seemed to ignore was "Avant-Garde". The exhibition to be opened at Met Museum's Costume Institute this year (titled "The Art of the In-Between") is dedicated to Rei Kawakubo and the brand Comme des Garçons. While I appreciate the vision and artistry behind Rei Kawakubo's designs, it is intimidating for most people (like me) that's why I'm not surprised that most of the attendees for the Met Gala opted not to follow the theme. I personally think it was a bit of a killjoy for the celebrity attendees to skip the theme, especially since they have the means to at least try.
Kiko looks great as usual, but as you can see her look is on the safe side. She is wearing a vintage (from 2007, I don't know if that's already vintage in fashion years? haha) Martin Margiela Artisanal Ring Top. It looks cool, but not exactly avant-garde.
I think she purposely chose to wear something she personally likes rather than go with the theme. She really likes show girl type of bras/tops (I don't know what to call it lol, but she frequently posts those sparkly and flashy show girl bras/tops on her IG stories). Her shoulders are also too narrow and her upper body is smaller in comparison to her lower body, so the coat draped over her shoulders added bulk and balanced everything out.
I'll leave you all with a video of Kiko posted by Vogue on their Instagram (btw the song on the video below is BOSS'D UP by Aubrn (feat. Gorilla Zoe)

Sandy Lam's cantonese version of the theme song from the movie ' Top Gun '. It was released on her third album ' Sandy ' ( 憶蓮 ) in 1987. The cantonese version of ' Take My Breath Away ' can also be heard in Wong Kar-wai movie ' As Tears Go By ' (1988) I used this tool to convert it to jyutping: Cantonese To Jyutping Converter The numbers represent the tones in pronunciation Sandy Lam Take My Breath Away Romanized Lyrics Sandy Lam Take My Breath Away (adaptation from the theme song of the movie 'Top Gun') si1 hoi2 zung1 dik1 bo1 tou4 tou1 tou1 bat1 sik1 fei1 joek3 hei2 sam1 wo1 zung1 dik1 gik1 cing4 zung1 jyu1 bat1 ho2 gwaan1 bai3 hei2 dong1 co1 hei2 fun1 gu1 duk6 jiu3 ngoi3 koek3 hoi6 paa3 gaau1 ceot1 ngoi3 nei5 naa5 je5 sing3 ngaan5 san4 pin1 pin1 zoeng3 lyun2 fo2 je5 hei2 Take my breath away Take my breath away fo2 jat1 bun1 dik1 gik1 cing4 tou1 tou1 bat1 sik1 jan1 nei5 hei2 dong1 zung1 jat1 soeng1 lyun2 jan4...
Resort World by Game Insight is the newest game on Google+. Basically you create your own virtual resort, and in true social game fashion, need to ask items from your neighbors to complete/unlock buildings. While I haven't seen anything new with this game, it's quite enjoyable. It a bit reminiscent of the PC game 'Beach Life' by Deep Red Games that I used to enjoy many years ago. And I like how the game is open-ended due to not having any tasks to finish. That way I don't feel compelled to check in on the game several times a day. I have been looking for online forums with 'Resort World Add Neighbors on Google Plus' and have been out of luck, so I'm creating this post. If you're looking for Resort World neighbors in Google Plus, just leave your link in the comment section below and I'll be sure to add you. _________________________________________________ QUICK TIP FOR POSTING LINK TO GOOGLE+ PROFILE - Click on your profile.
