Coach Bleecker Signature Tote

2008-07-09T00:59:00.002-06:00

My first designer item. Isn't it a beauty? I can't wait to travel with it (and I won't have to wait long because I'm moving to Bangkok at the end of the month), but my sister says everyone will think it's a fake in Asia. Do fakes look this amazing? What do you think?

I love the berry leather trim. The gold was a little too gaudy for my taste. It's a tiny bit too small for my Macbook, but I like carrying that separately anyway.

I also really like these from Coach:

Summer Whimsy

2008-06-25T06:32:00.001-06:00

I've been on the hunt for summer whimsy lately. Here are some pretty little finds:

A jar of fireflies (actually teeny lights) from Catching Fireflies:

Tea soaps from Gianna Rose Atelier:

Vintage seed packets at Etsy:

Current Obsession: The Soap & Paper Factory

2008-06-24T08:39:00.001-06:00

I like my soaps pretty, so when I chanced upon The Soap & Paper Factory, I felt like I was dealing with people I could understand. The bold floral prints, the whimsical touches--these are all things I love when it comes to soap--and stationary. I can't do a proper review because I haven't tried any of these products, but here a few items that caught my eye:

Green Tea Fizzing Bath Powder:

Rosewood Scented Drawer Liners:

Orange blossom Scented Stationary:

Fig Soap (they have boxed sets, too):

Verbena Scented Candle:

In My Bag

2008-06-23T05:37:00.000-06:00

Right after I took this picture I realized that I forgot to include my phone, which is exactly what happens to me in real life! :)

My very favorite bag: an embroidered and beaded bag from Hanoi, Vietnam

Fekkai Glossing Cream: great for smoothing ends

Paula's Choice Essential Non-Greasy Sunscreen: this is what I wear under my makeup everyday. It does not feel like a "sunscreen," just a light moisturizer that blends in all the way.

Benefit Realness of Concealness mini "fake-it" kit

NARS blush/bronzer duo in Orgasm and Laguna: this product really convinced me that high-end makeup is worth the price. I don't like fake-tanners, but this duo gives me a summery glow. I do think I'd probably look better in Sin/Casino because of my skin tone.

Juicy Couture Perfume: Doesn't smell as little-girlish as it sounds.

Carnal Flower by Dominique Ropion for Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle: I can only afford little bottles at a time (because a 50-ml bottle costs $200). This is my very favorite scent ever. I don't wear it everyday, but I like to have it with me at all times so that I can inhale it whenever the craving strikes. If you want to know exactly how I feel about it, read my review here.

Anastasia pink tweezers

Lubricant eye-drops for my chronically dry and red eyes.

A whiteboard marker because they're always missing, and I like purple. (I'm a high school English teacher.)

Flip Ultra Camcorder. Cute little camcorder has a built-in USB and records up to 60 mins of video. Runs on 2 AA batteries. Very handy and affordable ($114 @ Amazon.com).

My passport. What can I say? I'm a jet-setter. :)

Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Mattifying Concentrate: Because it's never too early to start warding off free-radicals, and it keeps me shine-free.

BareMinerals SPF Foundation in Light: my rock.

Smashbox Smokey Eyes eyeshadow trio, eyeliner, and brush (looks like this is no longer available @ Sephora).

Blush and kabuki brushes

Allergy medicine: I have Urticaria, which means the skin on my body breaks out in welts that spread into bigger welts when scratched. Thankfully, a daily allergy pill makes the problem go away completely.

Cheap sunglasses, which I'm bound to break--like every other pair I've owned--soon. Maybe they break because they're cheap, but I don't want to buy a $200 pair and find out the hard way.

Vaseline Lip Therapy: not my favorite, but I'm upset that C.O. Bigelow discontinued my favorite pinky-brown shade of minty Lip Shine. I have to go to my local Bath & Body Works to find out if they replaced it with something similar. In the meantime, I'm going on a lip-gloss strike.

Dior Diorshow Mascara. Love this stuff. The brush is huge, which makes applying it a little tricky at first, but the effect is gorgeous. My only complaint is that something broke inside, so now when I take out the wand, the goop gets everywhere. I just ordered another one from Sephora, but this time I got "Black Out," which is supposed to be even more dramatic.

and, last but not least: Orbit Gum

Question:

Everyone keeps raving about MAC eyeshadows; can anyone recommend some shades for me? I have fair skin with olive/yellow undertones, dark brown hair and dark brown hair. In fact, here I am with aforementioned products slathered on:

Vanity Tray

2008-06-22T13:49:00.000-06:00

I love the look of an antique mirrored vanity tray on top of a white vanity or desk. They look best when they're used to hold bud vases, different sized jars, antique china and silver, candles, and little jewelry boxes. A large branch used to dangle jewelry and ornaments would add to the whimsical feel:

From PierreDeaux:

From Viva Terra:

I'm Back! And in the mood to decorate

2008-06-22T13:15:00.000-06:00

I really miss posting about the little, whimsical things I find and fall in love with, so I'm back! I got a job in Thailand, so I'll be packing up and leaving the US in mid-July. I'm so excited about looking for an apartment (and decorating it!). Bangkok is such a vibrant and cosmopolitan city. A little chaotic, but lots of fun, too.

I'm thinking about decorating my future bedroom in black and white damask with deep pink accents. Here are some ideas:

Flock damask cushion from Dwell:

Rose string lights from Graham & Green:

Pretty colors and textures from Designers' Guild:

Black and white damask armchair from Pier One:

I've seen damask wallpaper and bedding, but I'd rather use it, along with deep pink, as an accent. I don't think I could handle too much of it in my bedroom. I'm also planning on softening the look with lighter pinks and antique, "shabby chic" touches, which I will post about next.

Review: Fumerie Turque by Serge Lutens

2007-01-10T17:47:00.000-07:00

The opening note of Fumerie Turque is a handful of Indian sweetmeats, popped into the mouth after a spicy meal to freshen the breath. I can almost taste the fennel seeds sweetened by crystals of sugar, cooling and refreshing. It takes me a while to get beyond this initial, indelible impression. The subtle wisp of tobacco struggles to emerge from the cloud of sweetness, and the effect is faintly annoying, like a woman who walks into a hooka lounge wearing too much cheap perfume. The flowers, too, drown in the syrupy sweetness, barely able lend their delicate subtleties, though the rose makes a valiant effort. Finally, in the dry down, vanilla and spice emerge, dulling the sweetness and allowing a comforting warmth to prevail.

Carnal Flower

2006-09-15T18:11:00.000-06:00

I love writing this blog, but I've got so much on my plate right now as a new teacher/grad student that I simply don't have the time to do so very often. I did recently score a sample of Carnal Flower by Dominique Ropion for Frederic Malle's Editions de Parfums and couldn't help but share my impressions:

Already enticed by the name and notes, I literally said a prayer that I would not fall in love with Carnal Flower; after all, having even one love (Lys Mediterranee) in the Editions line is enough to render one penniless. But alas, from the moment I opened my tiny sample vial of Carnal Flower, I have not wanted to be without that scent; I want my air to always be perfumed by that scent. My heart is nearly broken from the beauty of it.

Having grown up in Asia, my memories are laced with tuberose. They were in a garland around my neck on my first birthday, draped on my sister's bridal thrown, and always softly present, perfuming the air from Calcutta to Hanoi, from rapture to heartbreak. When I smell Carnal Flower, while it is clearly tuberose, I do not think of that same flower of my memories; it, though sweet, seemed much greener, the sweetness interrupted by the sappy smells of leaf and stem, stale water and plastic wrapping.

Carnal Flower, strangely, reminds me more of the jasmine sambac-infused syrup that is used to flavor and perfume Thai coconut milk and ice desserts. I can sense the coolness of the ice and the sweetness of the syrup perfumed by the lush yet delicate floral scent that saves the whole composition from becoming too sickly sweet. There is even the hint of coconut milk, lending a creamy delicacy.

Carnal Flower is not quite carnal; the sensuality of the bloom is definitely there, but rather than being carnal, I find that the true miracle of Carnal Flower is that it manages to capture the haunting beauty, the inexorable sadness, to borrow a phrase, of white flowers perfuming the night air. Too often the scent of white florals is heightened, brightened, blended, and bouqueted until we lose the poignancy and all we smell is effervescent sweetness. Sniff at your own risk.

Notes: bergamot, melon, camphor, tuberose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, orange blossom, coconut, white musk
