Soft Launch Party of Life Is Beautiful

Pleased to be invited to the soft launch party of Life Is Beautiful, one of the latest restaurant bar offerings at the stylish Duxton area which is now peppered with many restaurants and bars...When I first received the invite, I thought to myself, what an interesting name...it reminded me of the 1997 Oscar-winning Italian comedy-drama film of the same name...

This restaurant is located at the corner of the road at 99 Duxton Road...and blur leechie almost missed it but the bouncer noticed me as I walked pass and asked if I was looking for Life Is Beautiful...I arrived rather early and was waiting for other friends...but the bartender was friendly and chatted with me when he spotted me trying out a fried frog leg...i love frog legs but this was the first time that I tried fried frog leg...i like how it was crispy...the bartender here also makes nice refreshing vodka cocktail which is mixed with lime and cucumber juice...the restaurant has crafted some unique and exotic menu...Pardon me for sounding like a bimbo, leechie has always associated alligators with handbags and shoes...n this was the first time that I tried alligator meat served with alligator sauce! Really exotic manz! I like their fresh oysters with absinthe...n their fried chicken wings were served with very hot and spicy sauce...i love spicy stuff so i can appreciate the hot sauce...If you wanna try exotic menu, I highly recommend Life Is Beautiful! Dinner starts from 6pm onwards and the venue is transformed into a dance club from 10pm onwards...  

A wide variety of liquors displayed at the bar counter...

Life is Beautiful opens as a restaurant at 6pm and by 10pm, it's transformed into a club

Fresh oysters with absinthe...thumbs up

Tasso dusted frog legs, my favorite dish of the night...really yummy!

It's also the first time that I've tasted alligator meat served with alligator sauce...really exotic!

Life is Beautiful has a most interesting name for this dish ---> "Hush Puppies"

Another unique yet tasty offering from Life is Beautiful

Private Launch Party of T Galleria DFS

T Galleria DFS was officially opened on thursday...I love shopping at DFS cos one can find almost all the luxury brands next to one another within a departmental store =) I was chatting to a beauty consultant on the first level...they could be stationed at a certain brand counter but they have to learn about all the other brands and have to take an exam...wow!


Check out this huge art piece in the form of the letter T

Exclusive Launch Party of The New Limited Edition Jimmy Choo Exotic

Thanks Luxasia for the lovely invitation to the exclusive launch party of the new limited edition Jimmy Choo Exotic. This party has 2 elements which r close to my heart: fragrance and manicure =] I believe that a good fragrance can instantly transform one's mood and I always feel naked if my nails r without a manicure ;p

This exotic limited edition is a sexy twist which is inspired by the python shoes and accessories created by Jimmy Choo Fashion. Even the texturized outer packaging has been worked scale by scale to reproduce the perfect look and feel of real python skin. This fruity fragrance blends top notes of blackcurrant sorbet & pink grapefruit with heart note of Passion flower and bottom notes of raspberry & Indonesian Patchouli. I love the resulting exotic yet captivating fruity floral scent!

Jimmy Choo is a luxury brand which is famous for her signature heels and leather bags, so some frenz seem to b rather surprised that Jimmy Choo does have her own fragrance line too...i'm happy to share with my blog followers what i know abt Jimmy Choo fragrances...in fact, fragrance is a big business and I would think that most luxury houses wouldn't wanna miss out on such a revenue generator ;p frenz were inquiring abt the price tag for this limited edition fragrance...the eau de toilette 100 ml bottle retails for $145 while the 60 ml version retails for $112...well, what i told them was, "price is what u pay but experience with the scent is what you will get" B-)

Limited edition Jimmy Choo Exotic. Check out my lovely gellish python skin nail art manicure done at the launch party!

I must say that I was impressed by how much effort went into ensuring that everything was color-coordinated to match the theme of the limited edition fragrance...even the canapes and serviettes were carefully selected and color-matched!

N how I love my gellish manicure with the adornment of the unique python skin nail art, which is so different from the usual manicure sessions at events
