No update for two weeks, Why?
I have been sick - caught a flu.

Brand name cafes

This topic is inspired by one of the most classic movies, Breakfast at Tiffany's! Brand name cafes are cafes franchised by clothing designers, as the cafes are gimmicks to increase brand image and recognition. They provide quality service, avantgarde decor, high end gourmet and a luxurious indulgence.


Cafe Di Marc
Source store location: Milan

Cafe of Marc by Marc Jacobs. Upgrade your shopping experience - have a relaxing "morning after" high tea after your a crazy shopping spree, it's all worth it!




Agnes B Cafe
Source store location: Hong Kong

With a European charm, this cafe sure will satisfy your desire for a romantic, feminine déjeuner.




GreyHound/A no other Hound Cafe
Source store location: Bangkok

This is a very famous brand in Thailand noble for its perfect and unique tailoring. Cafe's decor is very Victorian, except everything is in black with a modern touch.
A cute little quote on their website:"Life is a journey, full of pictures, places, stories, and good tasting recipes."
Why not slow down and relax when you're on vacation? Enjoy the exotic country with it's international taste on Italian gourmet fused with a little Thai spice!




Are they worth going?
Yes! If you can't afford to buy their wardrobe every season, treat yourself to one of their cafes and you will feel like a queen :) I can guarantee you will definitely feel fancier than Audrey!

Avon. Mark

Mark is a younger line of Avon, majorly a makeup, skincare company.
Avon is a prestige companywhich supports Breast Cancer & fights domestic violence. Being a sales representative in London, ON, of course I like their products a lot.

Pros:

1. Affordable price

2. Monthly updated products - variety, & trustworthy quality

3. Service -if there is a sales rep in your area

Cons:

1. Targeted to a younger generation (Older generation could still use it but I would recommend something better)

2. Don't have a local store to try things out

3. Not as brand recognized among teens as M.A.C

Stuff I recommend:

Waterproof Collection:

SuperShock Mascara & Glimmersticks Liner

You'll need a waterproof mascara and especially eyeliner for your makeup to stay with all the heat & sweat.

You do NOT want the racoon eye two hours after your date. Plus waterproof makeup will prevent from smearing, smudging and flaking.







Foot Works Cherry Ice Scrub

I am sure you won't be wearing boots to go to the beach. Flipflops & scandals are must-haves, and a clean, smooth foot are musts too, to perfect the summer look.

You may exfoliate your face twice or three times a week. But a lot of people forget to exfoliate their feet or even their whole body for at least once every two weeks.

Dead skin builds up and your pores won't be able to breathe and dirt is trapped in there. What does that give you? A dull & dark looking skin.

Sex and The City 2

SATC 1 was a blast! I am sure every girl who follow them religiously, or heard about them, would want to watch that movie!

Of course, strategic management of events - always follow the trend. A lot of themed parties already have this hot gimmick in style.

They make good use of the "SEDUCTION, LUST, GLAMOUR" approach to attract not only women whom are looking for a classy night, it also attracts men looking for sheek, elegant type.

One of the parties I found on facebook:
Moet "Sex and the City" Party

Date: May 22nd
Location: AQUA HK

hmm I feel like Im adverstising for them
"not cocky when its true"
Aqua is a very decent restaurant/lounge for over priced food and superb decor.

Location
The location itself, is located in One Peking road, a place where only the finest stand.
I have been to Aqua once, for a private birthday party of a gorgeous friend.
You take the elevator up to the 29th floor, arriving at the foyer and there is a "secret corridor" that leads to the best view with a complete floor window and an open setting.

Atmosphere
This place would definitely not give you a cheap club/bar feeling. Open area Bar on the second floor and a small set of stairs down is the dinning area. Aqua is made for private parties. If you were to hunt for some rich man that night, you would feel like a high class overpriced whore. Just saying.

Features
I am not sure if there would be food since the price is so low, however, one thing partiers would always dig for - Photographers! What is the point of going to parties when pictures aren't taken? Pictures are screened through out the night (that's kind of thoughtful)
Shuttle: not a big fan of that, I support having a designated driver, however, a shuttle does not sound too high end for Carrie, or even Miranda!

Price
I cannot believe when I saw this - $100 advanced? Underpriced! Admission does not go with the theme nor the venue. I am guessing they will be charging big bucks on the drinks, there's no free lunch afterall :)

DJ
A good party needs a good DJ. OMG, Arun R, top DJ here, guranteed a great mix. I am not so sure about Tai Pan Dan, Rafa so I am not going to comment.



Pity for me, I am still out of the country and cannot make it to the party.
I will be having spies to report back for the night. Update soon!

disclaimer: this is only my personal opinion based on facebook event page, i do not represent aqua group, nor the party holder.
