<div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Set up to look like a 1940s gambling parlor, Macao Trading Co is the spot to go
for Chinese Portuguese fusion cuisine. Dimly lit with accents of red lights, and
the dark wood made it the perfect spot for some vampy photos. On the first
floor, there were really random relics along the walls, but the lower level was
a nice lounge like vibe. The server was really friendly and the star of the
dishes for me was the delectable lobster noodles. Apparently they're known for
their cocktails, so I tried the Bashful Maiden and Piscine. Unfortunately the
former's taste was too light, but I loved the latter which composed of
champagne, bergamot liqueur, seasonal berries.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<p>While our host John taught us a bit of the history behind cheese, we sampled various goat cheese from the regular Chèvre to ashed rind cheese. They let us get creative by inviting us to add different ingredients to the cheese such as French lavender honey, apricot jam, preserved blueberry, truffle, sprinkles and rose petals, completed on top of crackers. Each cheese had it's own taste and texture which John also talked us through. Combined with the delicious components, goat cheese made the perfect pairing to bubbly brut champagne. </p><p></p><center><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWpmqh0W1t7H6xWsR5PLYpVNewIAhLYOzXRyeYKD-7HPRTFfUpjjA_15nt09hnj4n6-oLuYId97yu-dW7hXoc29Y4xj6zAPzlRTx4Y9uN2vVzjMSCgckZmpN-LZ5CfZ4qrXMMQnQF4INyfZz1qcac2DoemI1B6HpGrfYno0kpq6Wm0SLExp7YoFBo0/s3531/IMG_5412.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3531" data-original-width="2652" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWpmqh0W1t7H6xWsR5PLYpVNewIAhLYOzXRyeYKD-7HPRTFfUpjjA_15nt09hnj4n6-oLuYId97yu-dW7hXoc29Y4xj6zAPzlRTx4Y9uN2vVzjMSCgckZmpN-LZ5CfZ4qrXMMQnQF4INyfZz1qcac2DoemI1B6HpGrfYno0kpq6Wm0SLExp7YoFBo0/w481-h640/IMG_5412.jpg" width="481" /></a></center><p></p><div style="text-align: center;">(above photo credit Mousumi/Museumi)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixof3MwfkLOicru1AxScouUGl_piLj0eOh09kwZsLRhVbgCUTLqCv9UcXjL-d07gBMSLQoeOnU8pb4XuTnqaHoWbor2D_YirkEnEYm4L2GuigG4gpbOaa5pR-f26huBf4LWp6MqKnMFMfOL-6eXhakIkv0u0L8J4QdbEdvEOpB6Jj_J1_lJmge7W7H/s3491/goatcheese.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3491" data-original-width="2622" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixof3MwfkLOicru1AxScouUGl_piLj0eOh09kwZsLRhVbgCUTLqCv9UcXjL-d07gBMSLQoeOnU8pb4XuTnqaHoWbor2D_YirkEnEYm4L2GuigG4gpbOaa5pR-f26huBf4LWp6MqKnMFMfOL-6eXhakIkv0u0L8J4QdbEdvEOpB6Jj_J1_lJmge7W7H/w480-h640/goatcheese.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjylfW2EBxXyNFck_hgFjbMsyD6MSp-Y__4OcbWbgfiDB8maEr6idx_rjjuW_0_PxbP0isj-DmN5adUxsvY3v-1ByntTCrPuyi294C0yIqX-3_zuPq4CLveUBWAd5oiMs5r327eHkem3lvsD8iOHVp12T07KcNNp1zqRPDaq7HjqyymMBrC3Vn9toXW/s4032/IMG_5204.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjylfW2EBxXyNFck_hgFjbMsyD6MSp-Y__4OcbWbgfiDB8maEr6idx_rjjuW_0_PxbP0isj-DmN5adUxsvY3v-1ByntTCrPuyi294C0yIqX-3_zuPq4CLveUBWAd5oiMs5r327eHkem3lvsD8iOHVp12T07KcNNp1zqRPDaq7HjqyymMBrC3Vn9toXW/w480-h640/IMG_5204.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>After the mini lesson, we were tasked to create goat cheese with our own flair. We rolled them on bamboo mats, then sprinkled and dusted all sorts of ingredients to our heart's content. Of course I had to stick true to my aesthetics - I did an explosion of overflowing rose petals and a dash of gold glitter (or should I say fairy dust) onto my goat cheese. To add different flavors, I smothered each log with variations of honey and jam and completed it with herbs and powdered honey for texture and taste. I wanted a medley of sweet, floral and fruity taste while having a cohesive, whimsical look in my box. Although I have no culinary skills, this was a really enjoyable event and gave me the perfect idea for future picnics!</p><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_zEXCPSIe6OpXW9jPtKqJzvsmDXYrsjYRelx1OFQrdcK4vfqWicp6ZnbQt-njVyllPGLrdYZBUAZqKiB-4GgEevStykOs9yCzDbLFJPFB9BTDuTmhbWHUA5FFh4J4KaqNQ1WLh372L9yRiWyqo7A5OcVs2b8lhErwKsdTn166obRuNLbsmN5Sj0WG/s3615/IMG_5235.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3615" data-original-width="2715" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_zEXCPSIe6OpXW9jPtKqJzvsmDXYrsjYRelx1OFQrdcK4vfqWicp6ZnbQt-njVyllPGLrdYZBUAZqKiB-4GgEevStykOs9yCzDbLFJPFB9BTDuTmhbWHUA5FFh4J4KaqNQ1WLh372L9yRiWyqo7A5OcVs2b8lhErwKsdTn166obRuNLbsmN5Sj0WG/w480-h640/IMG_5235.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjCZSR6rKPyoubyH_rC8j43GRQN6ZJIHcB-LMrApXphsmPB237aDew_0DtG6Rj6xv8NRcKCE8zkricVyL-1uZOA8smeXjKK0tGsO3hjHHR8HSzECn9JCwNLkFVgs9a4Upi2rQVkYf1mAvsjZ5jP7u0IiA0FslnscdbkjXSEiXLkcJ49At9UugWGzLT/s3676/IMG_5252.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3676" data-original-width="2761" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjCZSR6rKPyoubyH_rC8j43GRQN6ZJIHcB-LMrApXphsmPB237aDew_0DtG6Rj6xv8NRcKCE8zkricVyL-1uZOA8smeXjKK0tGsO3hjHHR8HSzECn9JCwNLkFVgs9a4Upi2rQVkYf1mAvsjZ5jP7u0IiA0FslnscdbkjXSEiXLkcJ49At9UugWGzLT/w480-h640/IMG_5252.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;">(Last four of the cheese photos were taken by yours truly)</p></div><br /></div>Judy C Yanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11770306792321120019noreply@blogger.com0SoHo, New York, NY, USA40.7245908 -74.00191740000001112.414356963821156 -109.15816740000001 69.034824636178854 -38.845667400000011tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363086708997620629.post-12387540653761342552022-03-23T12:03:00.006-04:002022-03-23T12:28:55.025-04:00Valentino | Rendez-Vous at Soho NYC<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6VG6tPWAhWxK_xbsBVk9e4ejNH1p8O5GEUpvKUeZwjZIORRhlCbo_1gUSRFayYqfTc-ozhjsPRcwKQ1cp1vS3usjHKB5hIst_84UTNsP73flPlo--HFEFOY3zHlqzfRIqVY42jQvUuP7tmdeguCn_k9ZueWytxZ1dJ-BI3LE3glCszHHl_1rsk7p2/s1170/IMG_4721%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6VG6tPWAhWxK_xbsBVk9e4ejNH1p8O5GEUpvKUeZwjZIORRhlCbo_1gUSRFayYqfTc-ozhjsPRcwKQ1cp1vS3usjHKB5hIst_84UTNsP73flPlo--HFEFOY3zHlqzfRIqVY42jQvUuP7tmdeguCn_k9ZueWytxZ1dJ-BI3LE3glCszHHl_1rsk7p2/s16000/IMG_4721%20(1).jpg" width="98%" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<br /><p></p><p>During the weekend, Valentino had this fun activation that took over Soho's streets. One location, you can get a professional photo taken with the Valentino pink taxi. Walk a few streets and get a cup of hot cocoa or cappuccino from their bright green cart. </p><p><br /></p><p>Other fun activities included getting a fashion sketch of yourself and getting a fresh bouquet from their little green shack. I went too late on the last day so I missed out on the pink folder that had post cards and posters inside, but I was able to enjoy my caffeine and smell the lovely flowers. With the nice spring weather, I'm glad I was able to go out and even made some new friends whilst waiting on the line!</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfOThH4_U4gI10_BAZzHT200tffBUFAjJ5q9M8aJU1VrpsuCxLIf4ApuX3k2Qz-zTQkDvEXxs75nmyBLvHHFx0zHqeDZOZi5QdYdXeGpe3G4B_WTwcelBdEyF7M1307t4E0viLRjZxYCgOLRyWxDswpAgLFvn-tBs8HAlmyBtz0-c8gPDbTb6eVCVT/s3088/IMG_4722.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfOThH4_U4gI10_BAZzHT200tffBUFAjJ5q9M8aJU1VrpsuCxLIf4ApuX3k2Qz-zTQkDvEXxs75nmyBLvHHFx0zHqeDZOZi5QdYdXeGpe3G4B_WTwcelBdEyF7M1307t4E0viLRjZxYCgOLRyWxDswpAgLFvn-tBs8HAlmyBtz0-c8gPDbTb6eVCVT/w480-h640/IMG_4722.JPG" width="98%" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggBJeHY2KkgNCTgEMtbU5eTQxQZ2p3GtZqhl7oQBbKHGZCKXB0HiVOkshH63YGUjPpETiIORSfo2IxAHfInASZAVJHnMZf9J3TbnVMuLWdKmP4y-N-SO2SKAP5p8GbIf8FNvBd46s2WxL5n3cenXwhqYTz5Zu6XES_j60sq8e_2_cvJNX1sfHaPtki/s2557/FullSizeRender%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2557" data-original-width="1921" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggBJeHY2KkgNCTgEMtbU5eTQxQZ2p3GtZqhl7oQBbKHGZCKXB0HiVOkshH63YGUjPpETiIORSfo2IxAHfInASZAVJHnMZf9J3TbnVMuLWdKmP4y-N-SO2SKAP5p8GbIf8FNvBd46s2WxL5n3cenXwhqYTz5Zu6XES_j60sq8e_2_cvJNX1sfHaPtki/w480-h640/FullSizeRender%20(1).jpg" width="98%" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAW3jgxXOrYS4pqV292rCCOA5j88eLX1yOZFIHwLFCXWLmzjb4a6Kkx2FxK92gX1bE4Lwxu0Dw-gYEUITQFdE05chhax1hU95gVuJ82HBrf1mJJ-G9ztHLn1sJ9hPOPttqfDzc2V5EED0bRzuAZqmyOMtBAMriuopdnDGlLJZTmfHdGBFUA023WaP3/s3530/FullSizeRender.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3530" data-original-width="2651" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAW3jgxXOrYS4pqV292rCCOA5j88eLX1yOZFIHwLFCXWLmzjb4a6Kkx2FxK92gX1bE4Lwxu0Dw-gYEUITQFdE05chhax1hU95gVuJ82HBrf1mJJ-G9ztHLn1sJ9hPOPttqfDzc2V5EED0bRzuAZqmyOMtBAMriuopdnDGlLJZTmfHdGBFUA023WaP3/w480-h640/FullSizeRender.jpg" width="98%" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLMNyrsFjuSU_YDtu9BRHVBCpTapmg3VqWNRUkdoaq5d33PA3_O42ZyFTLNa_93Tlk-Ul_XcE1dbzevhuzobI7wc9mEoBRll2KTTUwPtxxQW5FAITgY2_lkKH4BZX1beXmp76fKuU2lP419Q7jx_qt6ZVmP840yBUxmegqf6yj9aUf0fKu2uSmtADP/s2800/IMG_4300.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2800" data-original-width="2103" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLMNyrsFjuSU_YDtu9BRHVBCpTapmg3VqWNRUkdoaq5d33PA3_O42ZyFTLNa_93Tlk-Ul_XcE1dbzevhuzobI7wc9mEoBRll2KTTUwPtxxQW5FAITgY2_lkKH4BZX1beXmp76fKuU2lP419Q7jx_qt6ZVmP840yBUxmegqf6yj9aUf0fKu2uSmtADP/w480-h640/IMG_4300.jpg" width="98%" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbjWvPEmRI0wJtYIh9aY4PC01sOyj6_jaYDqTo2EyRRP1jN6nqfrig4lBzeTxWH7tLdRwAbljYEUIXzYL0S-dCI9ogQjjAZcd5Jr7ssFd50ZE4rsj4R7PE5GaSy9v98VAE8CCBJPZ-ATiq8Vx6m9wCgSDxMVf-dnobnhFbheOFLxYS33gwqwCuUBPJ/s3410/IMG_4392.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3410" data-original-width="2561" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbjWvPEmRI0wJtYIh9aY4PC01sOyj6_jaYDqTo2EyRRP1jN6nqfrig4lBzeTxWH7tLdRwAbljYEUIXzYL0S-dCI9ogQjjAZcd5Jr7ssFd50ZE4rsj4R7PE5GaSy9v98VAE8CCBJPZ-ATiq8Vx6m9wCgSDxMVf-dnobnhFbheOFLxYS33gwqwCuUBPJ/w480-h640/IMG_4392.jpg" width="98%" /></a></div><br />

I try to make decisions that are better for my well being so I can have a healthier lifestyle, such as eating more protein and organic food. I started cutting down on sugar and carbs. With these new healthier decisions, I noticed my skin was reaping the benefits - less blemishes and the skin had more of a glow! Also, with climate change, food sustainability is more important than ever so when possible, I try to pick environmentally friendly choices. </p><br />

I'm always on the lookout for skincare made of natural ingredients but without breaking the bank. Many of my friends have been raving about innisfree, a K-beauty brand that uses natural (sometimes organic) ingredients from Korea's Jeju Island. We were so excited to hear they were opening their US flagship store in Union Square. I was invited by Preendotme to try out their best sellers as well as attend their store preview event.<br />

The store is so beautifully lit and decorated. They had a two-story living wall with almost 10,000 plants in 11 different varieties of tropical plants. It was so serene, almost like being in a greenhouse but filled with makeup, so it's the best of both worlds. All the products were displayed on wooden shelves to continue with the natural interior design.<br />
<br />
All the staff were so helpful and had extensive knowledge on all the products and which was best suited for me. It was fun to try swatching the whole my style wall, which had a whole range of eye shadow, blush, contour and concealer colors. You can pick your shades and buy an empty magnetic palette to create your own customized travel palette.<br />

At the compact wall, the staff can help you check your best match cushion pact or foundation shade with the skin tone finder tool. I was stuck between the matte or aqua, and upon application I noticed how much more natural the aqua one was. Then the fun part was choosing my favorite compact case. Each one was so cute! I ended up with the geometric rose gold one, which looks much more expensive than its cost!<br />

My store haul consisted of the brightening & pore-caring serum (recommended by a staff), cushion pact in shade N21, color corrector and concealer, lavender toned primer and rose and bijia sheet masks. In my PR package, I received their top selling items – intensive hydrating serum with green tea seed, pore clearing clay mousse mask with super volcanic cluster, and youth-enriched gel cream with orchid.<br />
<br />
Every product smelled amazing and I'm so addicted to using them! I use the green tea seed serum day and night, and my makeup applies so smoothly over my hydrated skin. It's definitely one of my favorites of the skincare I received. My favorite makeup product is definitely the aqua fit cushion pact, it makes my skin look glowing and beautiful. An intensive review post is definitely coming up for it!Judy C Yanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11770306792321120019noreply@blogger.com0862 Broadway, New York, NY 10003, USA40.7372439 -73.98998699999998515.215209400000003 -115.29858099999998 66.2592784 -32.681392999999986tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363086708997620629.post-91282776736607603592017-08-20T18:08:00.000-04:002017-08-20T22:39:03.694-04:00Review | Célefit Cushion Pact & Finish Powder<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Summer time is always the worst time for my skin. I break out easier due to my combination skin type (oilier on T-zone), and then I would look shiny midday and would run away from cameras. Luckily for me, Célefit Designfit Upderm Cushion Pact and Perfect Selpic Finish Powder exists for combating those problems!<br />
<br />

The first thing that attracted me to the brand was the elegant, beautiful packaging. Both products felt very sturdy and well made. They had a very faint scent so it didn't feel nauseating. <br />
<br />
I love the rose gold color edging the black cover of the Célefit Designfit Upderm Cushion Pact. There's a convenient mirror when you open it, a spot for the sponge, and when you lift that up, you get the actual cushion pact. I got the shade 21, which is the perfect shade for me. It's not too light that I'll look ghostly (though I do like look like a vampire), but brightens up my skin just enough. It's also in a neutral shade, it doesn't lean too warm or too cool.<br />
<br />
It has a light to medium coverage, depending on if you put on one or two layers. Since I've been breaking out recently, I used two layers. It gave a very natural, translucent finish, which I loveee. Makes me look more awake! It didn't cover the dark circles or acne spots as well as I would've liked, but it's easily fixed with some concealer.<br />
<br />
Then, to finish up the look, I topped the Perfect Selpic Finish Powder all over my face. It's indeed an appropriate name for this product - perfect selpic, look how well it photographs in my selfie. It smoothed out my skin probably due to light reflecting properties.<br />
<br />
It was so finely milled I couldn't tell if any product came out of the sponge-like dispenser. Which is a good thing though, because it made it look as if I had no powder foundation on! In that regard, I kind of wish it was an open container where I use a brush to dust over my face so I know how much product I've used. On the other hand, this was a lot less messy than traditional loose powder containers, and easier for traveling or touch ups. Though I didn't need any, since it lasted well through the day and night.<br />

The Rosy Bigbang was a bit more orange tone than I thought, since the name was Rosy I thought it'll be more neutral. It'll be a cute beach color as it's bright, but a bit too bright for everyday wear to me.</span><br />

<br />
The ephemeral beauty of cherry blossoms is probably what makes them so enchanting. You'll want to cherish its beauty while it lasts, before they all fall to their demise.<br />
<br />
Something ephemeral is also terrifying, you'll never know when the time is up. This taught me to be even more grateful for those that stays and support me through my problems. Therefore they are worth investing feelings into, like my family and close friends. I don't know what I'll do without them being there for me, giving me advice and encouraging me to chase my dreams.<br />
<br />
"If you went back and fixed all the mistakes you've made, you'd erase yourself." — Louis C.K. <br />
<br />
Something else I've learnt this year is to not regret your mistakes and take each as a learning experience. Rather than dwelling on failures, just think of what you can do better the next time around. After getting out of toxic relationships, I'm able to cherish someone who treasures me more because of all the roller coaster of emotions I've been through. So I don't regret those relationships, I take each as a lesson.<br />
<br />
With that said, I am glad I had a chance to view the cherry blossom and it's splendor before their season was over. I went with one of my close friends and photographer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kasuga_natsumi/" target="_blank">Sandy</a>, for a nice and breezy day in Brooklyn Botanical gardens. I'm not in black attire for once! </div>

I used to have dry skin, but for some reason it changed to combination which also caused my skin to be more acne prone. The most annoying type is the bumpy acne marks. I was really excited to recieve the NOTS 28 Remedy Repair Cream. It heals the skin, smooth acne scars as well as having anti-wrinkle and brightening properties.<br />
<br />
The cream was light weight and easily absorbed into my skin, so it didn't look greasy like some other brands. It also worked well under makeup and kept the oil, sebum production at bay. The only time it might appear a bit oily is used overnight, but it doesn't feel heavy or oily. It had a tea tree oil scent (which I liked) because it contains neem tree extract and nopal cactus, which helps provide nutrients and smooth out acne scars. After using it, I do notice the bumps decreasing.<br />
<br />
It also help balance the skin oil and moisture, while controlling the sebum level, thus the skin didn't appear too oily by the end of the day. The nutrients it provides for the skin helps revitalize and promote skin repair, metabolism, and soothes the epidermal. It also purifies the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots caused by acne.Judy C Yanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11770306792321120019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363086708997620629.post-57300275998221917802017-04-21T09:18:00.000-04:002017-04-21T09:18:47.672-04:00Review | 1960NY Pure Beauty Cream<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's always difficult to find an effective moisturizer for combination skin – they're either too oily or not hydrating enough. The 1960NY Pure Beauty Cream is actually the perfect consistency for me. I love the cross between a gel and cream texture, making it smooth and refreshing. It was easily absorbed into the skin, with no sticky residue and helped mattify my skin. It worked well under my makeup, creating a smooth canvas for my beauty routine.<br />
<br />
I also adored the scent – it's a blend of crisp, citrus, woodsy scent, with a slight hint of musk. It smelled more like a lovely fragrance rather than a face cream, which I loved (some people might not), however it was not overpowering once applied. The scent is probably due to the ingredients acai palm which provides nutritional value, and ivy extract which soothes the skin. With its water holding polymer technology, it helps retain moisture, protects, revitalizes and refreshes the skin. Niacinamide and adenosine contents brightens, whitens and improves wrinkles, thus evens out the skin tone.<br />
<br />
I noticed my smile line decreasing, and my skin felt softer. It also balanced out the oil and water levels in my skin. My face didn't look oily waking up or at the end of a long day like it usually would. My skin really felt more radiant, healthier and smoother. Not to mention how relaxed I felt after smelling it. I really recommend this to anyone with normal or combination skin!Judy C Yanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11770306792321120019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363086708997620629.post-68758081741875069232017-04-21T09:16:00.002-04:002017-04-21T09:17:50.345-04:00Review | Bosod Top to Toe Wash<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Looking for an all in one cleanser that you can use for both hair and body? Look no further, Bosod created this Top to Toe Wash so you can conveniently use one product for both! It would be perfect for traveling with when transferred to a smaller container.<br />
<br />
Although this was marketed for men, I love this light, fresh fragrance with a hint of musk scent to it. The only downside is that it's not long lasting, perhaps if they create a lotion of the same fragrance to layer with, it would help retain the pleasant, relaxing scent.<br />
<br />
With just two pumps, it lathers well for both shampooing or cleansing the body with. Although it is of a creamy gel texture, it didn't feel too hydrating for the hair. However, it did moisturize the skin with its black willow bark extract, white willow bark extract, and salicylic acid ingredeints. Sopawort is added as a natural cleanser, which helps remove dead skin along with the salicylic acid. <br />
Other natural ingredients includes fermented bean, willow, cassia bark, oregano, hinoki cypress, purslane, and scutellaria root extract.Judy C Yanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11770306792321120019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363086708997620629.post-22407604065200630822017-04-13T15:09:00.002-04:002017-04-13T15:19:06.513-04:00Review | The Hair Mother Cellar Relaxing Treatment <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Since I enjoyed using The Hair Mother Cellar hair loss shampoo, I was excited to try their relaxing treatment. With natural plant ingredients, green tea extract and hylauronic acid, it's supposed to help moisturize brittle hair and care for the sensitive scalp by gently removing sebum, dead skin cells, and dandruff.<br />
<br />
For me, it did help get rid of my tangles with minimum breakage, but my hair was still somewhat dry. When used on the scalp, it made the roots oily after a day or two, however the scalp did feel cleansed and refreshes.<br />
<br />
Although it didn't moisturize my dry hair enough, I did like the light fragrance. It smelled a lot like the treatments they use in professional hair salons – a mix of floral, musk with a hint of tea leaves scent. It's very subtle and disappears after rinsing, which is good for those that gets a headache from strong scents. It also makes sense, being that this was part of their unisex line. You don't want your men to smell heavily of florals!<br />
<br />
I recommend this for those that doesn't get oily roots, and hair that's not too damaged, it's great as a light conditioner but not as a full on hair treatment. I'll probably try that as such, and use an additional hair mask with it.Judy C Yanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11770306792321120019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363086708997620629.post-63967792888445037912017-04-04T00:36:00.004-04:002017-04-05T20:04:47.050-04:00Polaris | Altuzarra Black Trench Coat<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Polaris, also known as the North Star, is the brightest star in the Ursa Minor Constellation. The older English name for it was the lodestar or the "guiding star". I thought it be fitting for this post, all the bokeh out lights glimmering behind me was like a sea of beautiful stars, guiding me through the dark streets of 5th Avenue. Besides the city skyline, I also love looking up at the mesmerizing star strewn sky at night so it only makes sense I chose a star name for this post (though I have yet to figure out which star is which haha).<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
It also pays homage one of my favorite TV shows, the 100, where the space ship "Polaris" burned through the sky erasing the "ar", and thus the capital was named Polis. Though Game of Thrones is still my number one favorite show, as you can see in my <a href="http://judycyang.blogspot.com/2017/03/brooklyn-museum-black-butterfly-sleeves.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>.<br />
<br />
In my <a href="http://judycyang.blogspot.com/2017/03/illuminate-ruffle-off-shoulder-lwd.html" target="_blank">Illuminate</a> post, I showcased my white off the shoulder dress paired with nude heels. This time, I threw on my Altuzarra black trench coat – I love love love the texture on it! It's like a cross between lace and snake skin, making it so unique. The flared skirt and bustle back is a nice touch of detail to an otherwise basic trench coat. It went well with my favorite lace up heels, not exactly a kitten heel but definitely not stiletto, making it easier for me to walk around the city with. The nude clutch with black faux snake skin details reflects the details of my coat, and of course I love the gold hardware on it.<br />

Being in the Beaux-Arts court was like being transported to a modern day Westeros, with large archways, a beautiful brass chandelier dangling at the center, and glass-tile floor. All lit up with dramatic skylight rising 60 feet high. The whole setting matched my butterfly sleeve bodysuit so well, I really felt like a character from Game of Thrones, waltzing through the corridors in Kings Landing. I completed the look with a lace choker I made myself, instead of my usual satin or velvet choker to give it that romantic touch.<br />

What's so interesting is how they reconstructed the flooring by putting new glass over the old, making it still slightly visible, a very cool effect. Along the surrounding walls is European paintings and artwork to be admired. (This is on the third floor)<br />

Even the outside of the Brooklyn Museum is beautiful with its neoclassical detailed facade. I can imagine just how enchanting it would look when the cherry blossoms bloom by it.<br />
<br />
So we started off on the top floor and worked our way down. Upon the elevator opening on the fifth floor, we were greeted by some American sculptures, which sets the theme for this floor – American artwork. The Imagining the New Nation’s Landscape was filled with paintings that had so much depth and darkness to it, I loved them so much! It's like you're being pulled into them. That, and it reminded me of Westworld, something Dolores would've painted.<br />

Right outside the Luce Visible Storage and Study Center was a polyptych of floral paintings. I adore flowers, and especially how it was light petals against dark backgrounds, creating a mysterious mood instead of the usual airiness of floral artwork. Being inside the Study Center was like being in a shop in Diagon Alley, filled with knick knacks, or in the collector's collection from Guardians of the Galaxy. So many different objects to examine – from lights to furniture to utensils. </div>

<br />
New Yorkers might have a love hate relationship with skyscrapers, but I know I love it. The glass window panes soaring towards the clear blue skies is such a beautiful sight to me. One of my favorite pastime is to enjoy the view of the skyline by a waterfront or on a rooftop. I love the light breeze as it catches my hair, and the peaceful hum of the buzz below as we stood on the rooftop.<br />
<br />
Besides enjoying the lovely city view from rooftops, I also love to stare up at buildings as I wander about the city streets. Especially since NYC is the juxtaposition of old and modernized buildings, it's such a sight to see. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Luckily for me, my model's, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bedlitsky/" target="_blank">Alex</a>, friend's building had an open rooftop for us to use as the perfect back drop to his (and my spontaneous) shots. The different heights and gaps between the buildings created interesting negative space, perfect to prop ourselves into. I love my all black outfit against the clean array of buildings. Honestly, a simple black choker paired with a lace up top or dress, finished with a pair of stockings is my go to outfit. You can say it's almost my uniform haha Though I probably should start varying my outfits otherwise my whole IG feed will start looking the same...<br />
<br />
Also, this post made me realize just how different my retouching style for myself versus how I retouch my models' photos is. I love an almost monochromatic look for my own blog shots, whereas for my models I like to do a more rich toning process. I am very much influenced by movies and TV shows, such as Game of Thrones, Westworld, Orphan Black and the 100 in terms of dark color and colder toning. For directors, I know many people either hate or love him, but I like Zack Snyder's dark and rich color grading as well. Any of the DC movies pay great attention to colors. (So this post answers a few frequently asked questions I get – whoever is next to me shoots my photos, be it a model or a friend, and I edit all my own blog photos.)<br />

<br />
After dyeing my hair numerous times, my poor hair has become so damaged, both the roots and the tips. The cold winter wind doesn't help with the drying of the scalp, and hair breakage. It was such a relief to discover the HAMOCELL W Hair Loss Shampoo. Not only does it moisturize and nourish the scalp, reduces damage, it promotes hair growth with natural ingredients.<br />
<br />
The scent itself is very natural and light, like a mixture of chamomile, herbs and yuzu, the combination of scents was very invigorating. The shampoo had a brown tint and gel like consistency, similar to honey.<br />
<br />
Since I color my hair, I always look for shampoos that are 8-free, as in no parabens, silicone oil, phenoxyethanol, mineral oil, benzophenone, propylene glycol, triethanolamine, and artificial color. Usually shampoos that removes impurities and dirt strips hair color, but to my relief, I did not notice too much color lighting after using this shampoo for two weeks. It surprisingly lathers well. After lathering, leave it in for about 3
minutes before rinsing it off, making sure the scalp receives all the
nutrients for a healthier bed of hair.<br />

After two weeks of usage, I did notice softer, shinier hair and a much healthier scalp! I had less sebum and dandruff, and it looked much fuller at the roots, thus creating a more voluminous look after each wash. This is all thanks to the salicylic acid and zinc pyrithione. Salicylic acid is a mild acid that exfoliates the skin, it encourages the shedding of dead skin cells to prevent built up and clogged pores. This prevents air loss and fortifies the hair, making each strand stronger and less prone to breakage. Zinc Pyrithione solution hydrates and relieves any dry scalp symptoms. This in turn helps revitalize the hair folliciles causing a reduced shedding and thinning of the hair.<br />
<br />
To help nourish and soothe the scalp, they added Hydrolyzed silk, Panthenol and Chamomile Flower Water. It thoroughly cleans and refreshes the scalp, minimizes sebum production, redcues dandruff and soothes sensitive scalps. Adding Panthenol (aka Vitamin B5) reduces moisture loss, which strengthens the damaged hair and prevents split ends.<br />
<br />
Fun fact, the brand says the formula comes from a special hair care method of the British Royal family. it is customized and divided to suit their hair style, scalp condition and type, as well as sorted by gender so that they get the ideal treatment. So my men readers, there is also a M version of this for you! :)<br />
<br />
I don't always believe what brands say to advertise their products, but this shampoo really made my hair look and feel more luscious than before. My hair doesn't seem as flat, and the parting of my hair doesn't have as big of a gap as I had prior to using it. I really recommend this shampoo to anyone who is trying to reverse the damages, growing out their hair, or have dry scalp.

Besides art history itself (that was one of my favorite subjects back in college), I love the MET for transporting the visitor to another world. Each wing, you get to experience a whole different culture. Seeing how big it is, you have to pick one or two each time you visit to fully enjoy each exhibit.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
On my recent visit, I got to visit the Egyptian and Greek wings. As a child, I used to read a lot of books on both cultures, I was always fascinated by it (as well as English and French art, so I'm looking forward to those exhibits next time!). So it's great to see the masterpieces in real life versus on paper.<br />
<br />
In the center of the Egyptian exhibit is a serene pond, with statues edging it and greenery floating within. The huge windows flooded the room with natural lighting, and the snow piled outside made it seem even more magical.<br />
<br />
As for the Roman wing, it was equally as stunning – marble sculptures danced and posed around the room, with a fountain at the center for making a wish. The prior time I went, blue light came down from the skylight. This time, we were caved in with snow, so it was such a different look to the exhibit. <br />

Forget the little black dress, and reach for your little white dress next time you go out. It can be just as sexy, and classy at the same time. I love this one is off the shoulder, edged with a row of ruffle, for a playful twist to the bodycon silhouette. Besides the lovely design, it's perfect since it's lined so it's not see thru at all, and so comfortable!<br />

I love pairing it with a criss cross detailed nude heels to elongate the legs, and a simple matching white choker. Finish it off with voluminous, large wavy hair for an alluring look. I used to dislike dark nudes, thinking it'll make me look way too mature, but I'm reaching it for it more and more now. This one is Colourpop's lippie stix in Taurus, which compliments my neutral eye makeup.<br />

I first heard of Wildes from Reign's recent episode, where they played her song "Bare" with her hauntingly beautiful vocals, clean guitars and drums, I fell in love instantly. I looked up her other songs, and love the lyrics of this. <br />
<br />
The singer Emma Walker said "'Illuminate' is a reflection on our human error. It’s about recognizing (or illuminating) the qualities that make us human, but can also lead to our downfall. The song came from the idea that we will do anything – whether it be good or incredibly dangerous – for the people we love and the causes we believe in."<br />

What happens when you fill up a store with 10,000 orchids embedded in luscious green foliage? You get a space beautifully transformed into a garden paradise. The greens and whites complimented the store's ivory interior, I can imagine just how enchanting the fashion show was as the models dressed in the beautiful designs strutted the magnificent space. After the show, they left the extraordinary display up, almost like a living art exhibit within their flagship store.<br />

The new collection is filled with designs in nudes, ivories, beige, all these wonderful neutral shades, perfect for the upcoming season. I love the luxurious, silky materials and fluid, light knits in draped and flowy silhouettes, juxtaposed next to the constructed parkas and blazers. The metallic and shine of brocade like patterns were so opulent and beautiful. There were also caped dresses for the super women in each of us ;)<br />

I adore how each room in the store had it's own colorway and style, everything was so thought out. Of course besides the nudes, there were coral for spring, and black colorway, perfect for NYC since New Yorkers always wear black. I also got to admire the lovely new accessories – the lace up heeled sandals were to die for!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it must have been hard to maintain so the magical display was only on for awhile. Now that it's gone, I thought I can share my photos for those that weren't able to make it! I opted for an ivory lace dress with nude lining to give off an illusion. The bodycon silhouette went perfectly with my criss cross nude heels for a slimming, and elongated look.<br />

As you may all know, I'm a makeup addict, and Japan has some of the top notch makeup in terms of both quality and packaging. However it's such a hassle to order online – ordering off eBay has risks of fake products and super slow shipping, and ordering from a Japanese online shop is expensive due to fees plus shipping.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's why I was super excited to find out about <a href="https://us.ippin.com/" target="_blank">Ippin</a>. You get to shop all kinds of high quality Japanese brands all in one portal, from food to beauty to electric appliances, all in the comfort of your own home. No need to book an airplane flight to Japan! There is different independent sites for each country they offer this service to, with customized recommended items for each location to create a user-friendly service. Not only do you get to shop a variety of products, there is no hidden fees and many offers free shipping.<br />

They ship with EMS, so for me, it only took 7 days which is super quick coming from the other side of the country! Everything was so well packed with bubble wrap and packing peanuts so that it arrived safe and sound.<br />

I decided to pick items from Shiseido Benefique brand. Shiseido is quite popular in the states, however we don't have the sub-brands they offer in Japan, such as Benefique. I wanted to do a full makeup look so I got a skincare prep, foundation, eyeshadow, eyeliner and eyeliner. OMG the packaging is beautiful! The ivory cases with engraved floral designs is so detailed and romantic looking.<br />

Let's start off with the <a href="https://us.ippin.com/products/5UP7QP6EDM04O48O404WGC0WG-details" target="_blank">Shiseido Benefique acne mist lotion</a>. With the active ingredient salicylic acid, it helps firm the skin by moisturizing the skin, and prevents acne. It has a light floral and citrus fragrance that smelled a bit like medicine from the bottle, but upon application there was no strong scent, just a light floral scent. It felt so refreshing! It helped mattify my skin, but did not feel drying at all. From my limited Japanese reading skills, you can also apply it after makeup application to help set the makeup.<br />

<br />
Moving on to the base makeup! I applied sunscreen, then the Shiseido Benefique <a href="https://us.ippin.com/products/5WBM7PFKHUCC0CSSC8G0W800O-details" target="_blank">Crystallizing Liquid Foundation</a> in Beige Ocher 10, which is a neutral tone, perfect for me. Can we stop and appreciate just how beautiful the bottle is? The printed
on floral pattern and the beautiful flower embossed cap! I can't get
over it!<br />
<br />
Besides having beautiful packaging, it really helped brighten and even out my skin! It blended well into my skin color and left a dewy finish. I usually buy matte foundation, but this dewy finish looks a lot more natural! It helped remove pores and dullness while smoothing and moisturizing the skin without having to apply a separate base. If you want, you can apply some powder over the T-zone.<br />

<br />
Since the foundation is a medium coverage, and I have insane dark eye bags, I applied concealer under my eyes as well as any blemishes and blend it in . I also drew in my eyebrow shape and applied gel to lighten the brows.<br />

My favorite part – eye shadow! I love how Japanese eye shadows are so silky and easy to apply, and the Shiseido Benefique, <a href="https://us.ippin.com/products/DI2JM7WCQ1SGG0OSKKGGWC800-details" target="_blank">Theoty Color Palette Eyeshadow</a> in an Aurora Pearl finish is no different. I got the color PK01, which had a shimmery ivory color, natural peachy color and a soft brown, perfect for creating creases. I love the satin look of these shades, giving dimension to my eyes.<br />
<br />
I applied the white shade to the inner top and bottom corner, which helps open up my eyes. Then, with the peach shade, I applied right at the center of my lid, catching light when I blink my eyes. Lastly, softly blend the dark brown at the outer corner of the eyelids to create depth.<br />

My signature eye look is the cat eyes, and the Shiseido Benefique, <a href="https://us.ippin.com/products/94L3B50OGQ8SKCCGKS0OGSKW0-details" target="_blank">Theoty Liquid Smart Eyeliner</a> has a brush just right for drawing on a sharp cat eye. The shade BR88 is dark brown for a more natural look. If you go over it a second time, it becomes a deep brown, almost like black, which is great since you have the option of both colors. The 8 mm brush tip was nice and soft, easy to use and great precision to get that sharp cat eye you want. It also has great staying power as its waterproof! It lasted me a whole day without touch ups.<br />
<br />
With your favorite mascara, apply to bottom and top for the appearance of bigger, doll eyes. <br />

Of course, you can't forget about the lips! Shiseido Benefique, <a href="https://us.ippin.com/products/5YQ3IZTXV1C0CSWK4W0S4WKCS-details" target="_blank">Theoty Lipstick, Melty Touch</a> in RS01 was a nice rosey coral color. I don't usually use corals, but this one was sooo pretty! It went on smoothly since it has a formula with treatment ingredients to moisturize the lips. With the melted look, it plumps the lips and makes my lips appear fuller with out any lip pencil! I love this! Who doesn't want the illusion of bigger lips like Kylie Jenner?<br />
<br />
Lastly, you can't forget to contour! I applied bronzer to my jawline, below my cheekbones and to the sides of my nose bridge. Using a light hand, blend in some rosey blush on the cheeks into the bronzed areas. Then, with a shimmery highlighter, lightly dust it across the cheekbones and the T-zone for it to stand out. That's my trick to making my hamster cheeks appear smaller!<br />

<br />
Ta-da! That's the final look, a natural and sweet look! I'm amazed (but not surprised!) at how high quality the Shiseido Benefique makeup is! Even if you don't love pretty packaging, they're all so easy to blend and apply that it's so worth it! I also highly recommend using Ippin! It's so easy to use to buy products you can't get conveniently in the US. <br />

I have a bad habit of staying up, retouching photos late into the night (I enjoy Photoshopping a bit too much), thus I must have my fix of caffeine every morning. Brewing a pot of coffee for one person isn't fun, neither is going out for a coffee run every day. Enter the life saver Levity Brew coffee! The 12 pack comes in a beautifully designed zip lock type bag, so it retains its freshness.<br />

It's pre-packaged in a Japanese style pour-over filter that is already measured for a single serve. You just tear the top off, pull on the handy dandy cardboard handles to place securely on your cup's edges, and pour hot water into the filter. Leave it brewing for about 2 minutes and voila! You can enjoy your daily dose of caffeine.<br />
<br />
What's unique about it besides the packaging, is the ingredients and the taste. It includes premium ingredients: organic Colombian coffee, organic yerba maté, organic imperial green tea, wild-harvested guarana seed powder and organic roasted chicory root powder. I feel a lot better knowing that most of the ingredients are organic and natural.<br />
<br />
Combined, you have the smooth and rich taste of coffee, but with a milder finish like tea. Which is perfect, since it's less bitter and strong than coffee, but just as flavorful. You can add milk or sugar to it, but to me, it taste great without
any! Which is surprising as I usually love some milk in my coffee.<br />

I was energized after a few sips thanks to it containing four naturally-occuring stimulants – caffeine, theobromine, theophylline, and
l-theanine. It has a similar amount of caffeine as a single shot of espresso (80-100 mg), but 20% less acidic than your typical coffee. Since it's calorie free, it's perfect for dieters like me.<br />
<br />
What else can I say? It's a great pick me up, and it's good for traveling too since it's all packed up for you. Just bring a thermal of hot water and you're good to go. I love pairing it with some chocolate cream pastries, mmm...<br />

What's great about living in NYC is all the amazing exhibits, and they're always changing so you get to experience new ones all the time. Since my horoscope sign is cancer, I'm supposedly a moon child. Even if it wasn't, I really love the moon – it's so serene to stare at it. So naturally, I would be so excited to check out an exhibit of the moon!<br />

It's a 60 feet in diameter handmade paper moon that hovers over the gallery floor, it's really amazing! It goes up, all the way through the coal trough ceiling, using the building's infrastructure as part of the display. I love how the moon "dissolves" and breaks away as you go around to the back of it. Throughout the duration of the exhibition, they have performances and readings of Jarrod Beck’s text.<br />

“My works are about making a mark, putting a foot down. They are about being here, but not trusting that space, and they are about the projected and the imagined, a HEREAWAYFROMHERE.” –Jarrod Beck </blockquote>

Three days ago, the first blizzard of the month, nicknamed Storm Niko, decided to pay Northeast US a visit. It left the city in a beautiful dream like state. Being inspired by the MET <a href="http://judycyang.blogspot.com/2017/02/met-masterworks-unpacking-fashion.html" target="_blank">Unpacking Fashion</a> exhibit's dusty blue tulle Viktor & Rolf dress, I took out my own cloud like dress from <a href="http://www.tobi.com/product/61508-tobi-flounce-deep-v-skater-dress?color_id=88559" target="_blank">Tobi</a> to go for a spin in the snow storm with.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">

What you had</blockquote>
In the stillness of the city as the snow comes down, everything seems so surreal and magical. Memories can come flooding in. I love that line in the song <i>Dreams</i> – "like a heartbeat drives you mad" – actually I just think all the lyrics is really great. It's by two UK artists with hauntingly beatiful voices, and is one of the tracks for <i>Reign</i>, which is returning soon. Yes, I'm a sucker for history inspired TV shows.<br />
<br />
I love the heavy weight lace, it has so much details and texture to it than the usual dainty lace dresses I wear. Horsehair braid at the hem helps give it the bell shape that's so romantic. The baby blue color really stood out against the white canvas of snow.<br />

Last summer, I paired it with a light weight shawl for a <a href="http://judycyang.blogspot.com/2016/04/midnight-rendezvous-tobi-lace-flounce.html" target="_blank">night out look</a>. For a contrasting winter date look, I draped my Bebe faux fur coat over it. As much as I would've loved to wear a pair of beautiful stilettos heels, it wouldn't be wise to trudge through the snow with it. I'll freeze my toes off and probably trip over myself before any shots is taken. Though that would make for a great photo wouldn't it...<br />
<br />
The heeled thigh high boots was the perfect solution – kept most of my legs warm, and stylish enough to go with the outfit. Instead of wearing a black one as usual, I opted for a dark suede grey, so it's soft texture and a less harsh color won't take away from the pastel colored dress.<br />

Having studied fashion design, I always try to visit the fashion exhibits the MET holds. I feel inspired every time I look at the beautiful garments they have on display. The most recent one featured their most significant additions from the past 10 years. It ranged from the 18th Century to contemporary pieces, showcasing how they changed their direction – they used to display Western high fashion, and now it's more focused on collecting fashion masterworks. When they say masterworks, it really is! I was so awestruck at all the Alexander McQueen dresses, and that beautiful gold gown from the China: Through the Looking Glass exhibit.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
In this exhibit, they showcased acquisitions ranging from women wear dresses and suits to men wear as well as accessories. To match the unpacking theme, they were all displayed on wooden packing crates. Next to each display is an in-depth explanation as to how it played a role in fashion history. Some designers featured were Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Lanvin, Chanel, Versace, Alexander McQueen, and House of Balenciaga.<br />
<br />
Besides featuring about 60 actual garments, they also have books, photographs and a digital media featuring slides of designs and paintings along with quotes honoring Harold Koda. He was the curator in charge of The Costume Institute until his retirement in January of 2016.<br />
<br />
Without further ado, here are some of the pieces that were on display for those that missed the exhibit.<br />

One of my favorites was definitely this Viktor & Rolf blue polyester ball gown. They are known for being "fashion artists' by creating art through fashion – they distort proportions and creating unique sculptural designs through different fabrications and silhouettes. They were called "metafashion" by Olivier Zahm, as they always have introspective designs. Here, they created a sculptural form that cuts the dusty blue tulle skirts in two, almost like a chainsaw sliced through the beautiful clouds. It was all handmade with the sharpest scissors and two hundreds yards of mixed fine and stiff tulle. It's like a modern spin of the Cinderella ballgown.<br />

Of course I am in love with the fantasy work from Alexander McQueen, designed by Sarah Burton. If you watched <i>Hunger Games</i>, you might remember Effie Trinket wearing it! This trompe l'oeil winged dress consists of
black silk organza and orange feathers were painted with black and white
pigments in distinct patterns to take after the monarch butterfly. The
butterfly is a symbol of "the promise of transformative renewal". What's
amazing about this dress is that there is no boning or internal support
and relies on minimal seaming to hold its hour-glass silhouette. It
really show cased how Burton embodies the high quality craftsmanship and
creativity of the fashion house. <br />

Another of my favorites is the Jean Paul Gaultier wedding ensemble, made of white rayon-nylon chenille lace overlaying nude nylon tulle to give the impression of being see through. I was curious as to how the headdress was able to be hold it's shape. Turns out it's through the usage of white steel boning wrapped with white nylon mesh with silver nylon organza ribbon and ivory kidskin. The steel boning was reminiscent of the 18th and 19th century under structure support for women's clothes. This particular headdress was supposed to resemble a cage crinoline.<br />
<br />
The center dress is Nicolas Ghesquiére for Balenciaga, which is made up of nude silk gazar, ivory silk organza, ivory rayon-cotton satin jacquard, and white nylon-rayon lace embrodiered with floral motifs in ivory linen floss. The skirt part with horizontal panels of different fabrics echoed the tiered hoops of the 18th century pannier. The Rei Kawakubo for Comme des Graçons also had a similar design detail. Both pieces with its delicate lace fabrications might remind people of lingerie, which is supposed to "further transformation of the intimate into the conspicuous".<br />

On the right is the "la Sirène" evening dress (1951-52) by Charles James made of
ivory silk crepe, which he reworked this design over a twenty years
period. The gowns body hugging and alluring shape is supposed to
resonate the mythical and seductive Greek sirens. He was a master at
manipulating fabrics, here he used precise horizontal release tucks to
sculpt to the body's curves. It's also called the lobster dress with all
the tucking, which showcases the influence of surrealism in his work.
Salvador Deli deemed the lobster as an erotic symbol.<br />
<br />
Next to it is Azzedine Alaïa dress (1994) made up of white acetate kint and black acetate-nylon chenille knit. You can see inspirations from Charles James, as he looked towards other master couturiers to study their work. With a similar tucks technique, and the band of white embedded in the black sculpted dress, it really highlights the contours of the woman's body. His knitwear subtly hugs the body, using the woman's form for most of the support, along with varying tensions in specific areas it helps create the shape of the dress.<br />

Jean-Charles Worth's evening dress (1931) is the perfect roaring 20's party dress! It's ivory and pale brown silk tulle is embroidered and embellished with silver glass bugle beads on fringes. I bet it'll be so beautiful in action! This dress was his attempt to showcase his talent for incorporating the modern aesthetic to get younger clienteles, while still maintaining his tradition of refined workmanship his house was known for. Not only are there layers of fringe with silver glass bugle beads at the skirt of the dress, but also intricate braided details at the shoulders holding up the dress. I can imagine a femme fatale walking in the spotlight with this one!<br />

Bustiers are so sexy, and these are definitely at the top for that. Yohji Yamamoto's cage bustier (A/W 2006-7) is made of black silk crepe over plastic boning with black cashmere-wool jersey. It's the perfect example of the trend "innerwear as outwear".<br />
<br />
On the right is Issey Miyake's red molded polyester resin and cellulose nitrate bustier (A/W 1980-81). It's very famous and have been toured internationally, showcasing the relationship between the body and clothing. It was made molded on a woman's torso, revealing all of her body's contours in detail. He experimented with different and unorthodox materials such as plastic and resin.<br />

Iris Van Herpen dress (A/W 2012-13) for her "Hybrid Holism" presentation and known for manipulating materials, is made of black cotton tulle and silk satin embroidered with strips of black PVC to make it shine. It's inspired by architecture and the theory of hylozosim (all matter contains life), which shows how the dress emulates nature. The dress reminded me of something out of a sci-fi movie, which is amazing.<br />

This beautiful lavender dress reminded me of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/hDH3bqCiIP/" target="_blank">my own design</a> from FIT days. It's by Antonio del Castillo for Lanvin-Castillo (1956), made of light purple nylon tulle. It embodies the bustled silhouettes of the 1880s fashion, mixed with the house's romantic, youthful designs aesthetic. Below is an iconic shot of it worn by Suzy Parker for <i>Harper's Bazaar</i>, shot by Richard Avedon.</div>

NYC is known for its diverse cuisines, so it's a no brainer to have restaurant week semiannually – once in winter and the once in the summer (though I wished they had one each season 😛). What's great about it is that you can try five star restaurants at an affordable price. This year, it's $29 for lunch and $42 for dinner. It's held in 41 different neighborhoods throughout the city for two weeks.<br />
<br />
Since my best friend and I planned to visit the MET for it's Unpacking Fashion exhibit (post coming soon, I promise!) we decided to pick something uptown. We both love French food, so we went with the stylish Vaucluse. It's elegant and white-toned, with simple but lovely decors. Ok ok, we also made sure the food looked appealing as well.<br />

They started the meal with some fresh bread and butter. We both ordered the calamars farcis for the appetizer. It was composed of squid filled with lobster and rice over tomato concasse mixed with thyme oil, topped with a fried basil leaf, one of my favorite spices. The tomato concasse tasted so fresh! The squid was chewy and flavourful thanks to the combination of lobster in rice coated in thyme oil.<br />

For the entree, I chose the beef cutlet over fingerling salad, paired with grain mustard and lemon. The tender meat was marinated in the same sauce as the fingerling salad – which I don't normally enjoy, but theirs was delicious – so that it was saturated in flavor. Each bite was savory and delectable. The grain mustard and lemon reminded me of mashed potatoes and was appetizing.<br />

My friend picked the medallions of monkfish, riz pilaf topped with tarragon lobster créme. It looked equally scrumptious. However, I think I made the right choice because I'm still thinking about it.<br />

As for dessert, you have a choice between petit gatealux which is pistachio atop citrus sorbet, or the chocolate tart. I am a huge chocolate lover so I chose the latter, consisting of illanka mousse with chocolate sable and caramel ice cream on top. I love chocolate sable cookies as well as mousse, so this was an amazing dessert option for me! The sable added a crunchy texture to the smooth mousse and ice cream.<br />
<br />
Vaucluse interior was a very clean and had an elevated look. The dining
area we were seated at had beige sofas and cushioned chairs, mirroring
the light wooden walls and striped wooden floors. The other side of the
restaurant also had a neutral color theme, but with dark cushioned
chairs and gold detailing, making it look really expensive. With plenty
of lights and large windows, it made the space appear even bigger. A
really lovely atmosphere to enjoy the food or even a cup of coffee at.
The service was great, they were really attentive and nice. <br />
