Nightcap: One Scented Evening

by Abby Gardner

blumarinebellissima.jpgSometimes the events gods smile upon you and actually hold parties in the same damn hotel. Amazing. After taking in the scene at the Teen Vogue party, I hopped into an elevator to the terrace of the Gramercy Park Hotel to check out Blumarine’s new scent, Bellissima, where the cedar scent of the Rose Bar was replaced by the girly (in a good way) notes of grapefruit, peony, and vanilla.

The new fragrance (and yes, they did give everyone at the party a bottle) is a total break from anything done under the label’s name in the past—their aim is to bring it back to a place of relevance in beauty land. Next up is a Blugirl scent for spring 2010.

Apparently, the night was perfume-themed because much of the beauty/fashion crew then headed down to Donna Karan’s studio for Henry Holland-hosted Six Scents event which featured, um, performance art meets perfume spritzing. It is always interesting to see what people come up with for these fetes.

Then it was onto The Box for the beauty directors to attend the launch of YSL’s new men’s fragrance. Side note to beauty PRs: People are kind of over the whole events at The Box thing. Just sayin’.

Quite a fragrant evening indeed. I wish someone had told me to pack my own coffee beans.

Perbandingan Swalayan

Hai! Akhirnya gue punya waktu luang untuk nulis lagi di blog hehe. Buat para followers instagram gue, pastinya kalian udah tau kan gue ini suka banget sayuran, terutama Pakcoy, terlihat pada postingan gue. Nah, saking sukanya gue sama sayuran, semakin seringlah gue masak sendiri, oleh karena itu makin sering pula gue be-lan-ja! Gue sangat menikmati kegiatan yang satu ini. Suka banget.  Nah, secar gue suka belanja, tentunya gue punya swalayan favorit gue. Eits, tapi gue gak terpaku sama satu toko aja ya, gue pergi ke beberapa toko untuk melakukan perbandingan harga dan kelengkapan barang. Perbandingan inilah yang mau gue share malam ini. Terdapat banyak swalayan di Jakarta. Maka dari itu, gue akan mengelempokkan mereka ke dalam dua kelas berdasarkan barang/produk yang di jual. - Lokal : produk yang dijual kebanyakan adalah produksi lokal a. Carrefour b. Hypermart c. Giant d. Naga Swalayan Yang paling top kualitas barang dan kelengkapannya adalah Carrefour,...

Dare to Be Plus-Sized Model

Last week I posted a pic of Olga Sherer on Twitter. I named it The-Still-Alive-Anorexic Model. Pity she is, her natural beauty is covered by anorexic body. People talk about it, many of us realize that she might be an anorexic model due to her physically appearance. See this pic below. So beautiful, isn't she? Look at that bone. So thin she is,right? Totally beautiful and gorgeous. But, so skinny legs she has. Olga Sherer comes from Russia. She is one of truly Russian's beauties, besides Vlada Roslyakova, Maryna Linchuk, Irina Kulikova, Anabela Belikova and others. With that shiny red hair, she has good career in International Modelling Industry. She has worked for many well-known designers, such as Anna Sui.

Holy shit, I'm getting hesitant -_- Well, secara gue bentar lagi akan lulus, artinya sebentar lagi akan ada maba-maba unyu lagi. Nah, untuk kalian yang akan kuliah di UI atau berencana pindah ke daerah Depok, kali ini gue akan membahas tentang biaya hidup di Depok. Stay tune! Bicara tentang biaya hidup, pastinya gue akan membahas tentang biaya makan, tempat tinggal, dan juga keperluan lainnya. Let's get it started. 1.

Dalam satu bulan, gue menghabiskan Rp 1,000,000 untuk makan sehari-hari. Ini di luar belanja keperluan kosan ya hehe. Untuk belanja keperluan kosan, biasanya gue menghabiskan Rp 200,000 dan itu tidak menentu waktunya, ngga setiap minggu gitu. S...
