Golden Week 2011

During the month of August in the UK, we have held a Golden Week. From what I have gathered, this is a week celebrating Oriental culture and the contributions it has made on the British society.

Now this is a blog post that has literally been sitting in my drafts folder for a while (a month *Can you believe?*) and I thought I should share a few photo shots I took on the first day of Golden Week because the statues, shows, decorations and energy was simply amazing.

I don’t think Golden Week was well published in London because I actually stumbled onto these displays by pure coincidence. I was actually on my way to the Nails Inc boutique by Bond Street Station when I chanced upon this huge . . HUGE . . glitzy dragon. I would love if someone could give me a bit more information on Golden Week so next year I am completely prepared.

Haagen Das Video . . . Better Posted Later than Never

I actually forgot to post this video, when I saw it lool  I'm super forgetful sometimes but onwards to the video. This is the video taken of the Haagen Das event that I went to at the end of July, (Review of the event here), I actually loved the event sooo much, I'm still eating lots of the icecream I hoarded from the event.

But without much ado, here's the video . . .

I think I died and went to Haagen Das Heaeven . . .

No seriously!! I swear I did.

I look like an urban princess x

First off, I want to apologise for the shoddy quality of my pictures on this post because my camera decided to break and I was left to make do. Joy from Joy to the World, Erica from Erica Matthews and I spent Friday afternoon being treated to a girly night in courtesy of Haagen Das and I had the greatest time ever!!!!!! I actually wish I could replay the day over and over. . .or maybe just lock myself in the boudior forever (with a lifetime supply of icecream I think it was possible)

See what I mean . . all those lovely flavours

My boudoir session was hosted by the girls from Shoewawa who were absolutely lovely and totally knew their stuff. They showed us all the different dresses in the Haagen das wardrobe (so many designer dresses, so little time *exasperated sigh*). They also helped us compile different outfits, told us all the upcoming AW season shoe trends (f.y.i its all about embellishments, fetish shoes *yaaaay* and colour blocking heels), explained the Stylist pick website; which is great because I signed up like the beginning of the year and I wasn't too sure how to use it, and also gave me a few blogging tips.

I love this dress, it was just the right colour and had spikes on it . .and I love embellishments

I think the sun hat adds a lil something to the dress . .wish it didnt have a polka dot sash attached though loool

One thing I absolutely most mention before I signed off, The dressing room!!! Well the beauty side anyway. They had a few choice products out of show donated lovingly by NARS, MAC, Bobbi Brown and O.P.I. I got to play around with some of these products and I've added a few thing to my wishlist.

The glitter from the poff looks great in the light - Anyone know what brand that is??

NARS sticks in copacabana and orgasm, and blush palette in hungry heart

Love this colour

I love the lipstick . . but I think I love the lipstick stand more lool

Hmmmmm . . . .not sure If I like this pic or not but oh well

The boudoir session lasted for about 2 hours and I really didn't want to leave at the end of it. I actually propositioned the Haagen Das girls if I could rent out the boudoir room from under the feet. I mean who needs a bathroom when you have luxury???

Its so beautiful  . . .not sure if you can tell  . .this pic is a teeny weeny dark

Much Better - In the corner is a wii, a tv, games etc

The dressing room . . . I repeat I'm in love

All in a a girl an email =D

More Pics of my dream day

I didn't photography or anything but this pic is kinda decent lool

Their version of a shoe rail *nice*

The seat of luxury

Love this concept

Eating it up in Chelsea

That's one smart looking cocktail!!!

Saturday night, (after the TWOIB event) I went to Big Easy in Chelsea; an American-style grill restuarant and let me just say I don't think I've ever eaten as much as I did that night but the food was simply gorgeous!!!! And that's saying something because I don't actually like seafood.

A whole lot of lobster!!!!

After having a gorgeous Strawberry Margarita (made with a ridiculously strong tequila). The famo and I, sat down to a mixed starter of voodoo chicken wings, prawn crackers, corn chips, calamari, potato skins, jalapenos and tenders, and right off the bat that sounds like a lot of food but in person *wooooow boi* it is a lot of food.

How on earth did we get through all of this??

Highlight of the night had to be the mains. The twinnie's husband decided to order a fillet mignon, thinking it had to be the best and biggest steak he's ever come across but when his dinner came to the table, the absolute shock on his face  was priceless. It was the dinkiest steak I have ever seen!!! It all honesty it looked like a burger not a steak.Well the rest of the famo, (after laughing at him) decided to take mercy on him and shared our dinner with him. I swear after he finished passing his plate around, his plate looked like he went to a buffet NOT a full pledged restuarant.

His plate - Before

His plate - After (you can't even see the steak anymore)

Well it was a great night out and I'm going to post the last of my pics, all you foodies out there get excited x
