Wynn Las Vegas

the wynn experience
"I have a simple taste. Only the best."
-Oscar Wilde

Was privileged to be invited to a hotel stay at Wynn Las Vegas. Since it was Justen's 21st(ahem) birthday, we were thrilled that we could celebrate it in the beautiful suites of the sin city.

I personally love admiring architecture, and Wynn's buildings were no doubt the most beautiful in the city. Outstandingly modern and sleek, it was not difficult to understand why it got so much rave.



The interiors of our junior king suite were every bit fabulous as well.










Stunning views from the room overlooked the pool and the adjacent uncle Trump's tower.


Dining was ever so pleasurable in the beautiful, well lit hall with abundant adornment of flowers. Food selection was well, and I particularly enjoyed the quirky dessert station. The crepes station, gelatos and pretty cakes were a real delight.










Words become superfluous when pictures speak the best language.
Are you tempted enough already?

The Little Denim Dress

the little denim dress
'Simplicity is the key note of all true elegance' 
-Coco Chanel









I find that a well cut dress is perhaps the solution to mornings pressed for time. You simply just slip in, zip up and go sans the headaches of wondering which coordinates match. Besides the little black dress and the little white dress, the little denim dress is a casual alternative that would bring you to a day at the picnic, brunch, shopping or even a night out. The key is varying the mood of the outfit would just be accessories- perfect for me who is always racing out the door by the minute!

EOS Ice Green Circle Lenses

the green apple of my eye

"I am not young but I feel young. The day I feel old, I will go to bed and stay there. 
J'aime la vie! I feel that to live is a wonderful thing."
-Coco Chanel

Have always loved changing up the color of my eyes since the late teenage days. Since they say the eyes are the window to the soul, I guess I must like my soul to be colorful - and in particular, green and blue.

However, to try to choose the correct color that I imagine to be, is often a challenge. Especially when the myriad of colors and designs available on honeycolor.com are so plentiful. So, i thought it'll be great to share how eos ice green looks like on my soul windows, and reduce your research time if you are looking to get some green eyes!

Origin: South Korea/ Diameter: 14.8mm/ Base Curve: 8.8mm/ Water Content: 38%/ 
Life Span: Yearly Package





My thoughts on these lenses:
These lenses are wearable and comfortable, and is the most natural looking pair of green contact lenses I've donned so far. I especially love the dark emerald hue, as compared to others that sometimes turn out more olive green/yellow than a true green. Will definitely repurchase these if I'm looking for a natural green again.



forever young and free.
