Eco-Friendly Galen Lobby of Ascendas in Singapore

You just gotta love interiors like this. While it sure doesn’t figure gasp inducing outdoor fountains, this, I think is much more impressive not to mention environment friendly.

Samsung Galaxy Note in Pink!

I’m not a super girly girl and while I’m ok with pink in limited quantities, I’m prepared to make an exception for this. Currently, the next item on my buying list, way ahead than a computer cart, the Samsung Galaxy Note. Some say its too big, but I don’t really give a hoot. I usually buy devices which suits my needs. To hell with what people think about it. After all, they are not the one’s paying nor are they they one’s who will use it.

Samsung Galaxy Note Pink now in Korea

Anyhow, I want this. I was thinking of getting the white version but when I saw this I want it. Samsung Galaxy Note have released the Pink version in Korea. Why Korea only??? Aren’t we getting an international version anytime soon?

Samsung Galaxy Note Pink in Korea

It’s girly yes, but I like it coz its guaranteed to be ‘different’. I hate being mainstream, and pedestrian, perhaps that’s why I picked out this phone for my ‘next buy’. It’s eye catching, powerful, quirky and I am in love with Android’s ability to be customized the way I want it and need it. I’m one of those not afraid to tweak and challenge technology and if it comes in a pretty package too.. why not?

 

Lily in the Moment Editorial on Numero Tokyo April 2012

A few days ago, I featured Numero Tokyo April 2012 with Lily Donaldson on cover. I find her gorgeous and incredibly appealing so I was curious about the cover editorial for the mag. So I put off doing my life insurance quotes research in favor of hunting down the editorial. And I found it! Via Fashion Gone Rogue. Big thanks.

She is gorgeous and all, but I find her poses as well as expressions blank. Sigh. Gorgeous styling though.

Sui He on Manifesto Asia Issue No. 4

Here’s  new Asia based magazine that recently came into my attention. Manifesto Asia is showing a lot of promise based on what I’ve seen on their website. Manifesto Asia is a Hong Kong based English glossy magazine and describes itself as an ‘authority on  luxury fashion, design and pop-culture’.

Manifesto Asia March-April 2012 Issue

I like this cover. It doesn’t scream high fashion, it’s somehow relate-eble and doesn’t have a snooty appeal (which I had been expecting based on their web description and at least Sui He is not wearing a plain custom tshirt, and the whole thing is not covered in topsy turvy text like some Asian mags.

This cover features model Sui He and photographed by Fan Xin. Love the stained wall effect on the background.

I’m definitely watching for more covers and editorials on this magazine.

Well Get Sporty! on Singles Korea

Lily Donaldson for Numero Tokyo

I find Lily Donaldson cute! She has this porcelain doll-like appearance that is hard to resist. The Numero Tokyo April 2012 cover is nothing special really but I’m featuring it because I find Donaldson’s eyes gorgeous. Lol.

The graphics are only so so and the text frankly overwhelming, it’s like you’re settling for buy silver coins than grabbing a couple of gold ones. Thankfully, Lily Donaldson grabs attention. Photo by Nino Munoz.

I rarely feature editorials from Vogue Taiwan mostly because scans or images of them are hard to get by then usually those that are readily available seldom catches my fancy, but this one is special. It’s just so romantic and glamorous! Actress Cheryl Yang is just fierce! Love her, love her!
