    Smells are so powerful that the minute I got off the taxi and breathed in the HK air – I was brought back to my childhood memories!  I am in HK for my new job with Rabeanco and it has been really fun!  Since the brand is set to launch in just a few months in LA, the team in NY and I have been working hard to get everything ready.  It is an awesome experience to work with a Rabeanco because they are so loved and known by Hong Kong shoppers and we all know they will get the gold if shopping was a sport in the Olympics.  Since I am their new social media girl, it was my job to be completely all over the store, bags and of course more bags :]

    I got to see the store in person at the Langham Place mall.

    The bags and store was AWESOME and the sales people were upbeat and the store was packed.

    Event LOVE Catch Up: TQ Digital x Karl Lagerfield Exclusive Watch Collection Launch @TCHADQuarterly

    Screen Shot 2013-04-22 at 12.14.47 AM

    After the last show of World MasterCard Fashion Week, we all headed over to Shangri-la for the Karl Lagerfield Exclusive Watch Collection launch hosted by the men of TCHAD Quarterly. I’m all kinds of mad, that my phone and camera were pretty much dead from all the pics and video at took at the tents, but I managed to get a few shots of some of the pieces.

    I liked majority of the collection; it’s sleek, edgy, but still very classy just like Karl! I was loving the double straps with the zipper detail, and even though I probably wouldn’t be able to keep the clean, I was digging the watches and accessories with the white straps

     I totally wanna be Karled! I need that all black watch in my life like yesterday!

    Once my camera and phone officially died, I focused on the yummy signature Grey Goose Cherry Noir cocktails, rubbed shoulders/hugged/shared a couple air kisses with all the lovely people that came out, and jammed to the live band who were giving me life as they covered top 40 tracks!

    Thanks for inviting us!

    Event Love Catch Up: @JazzBistro_ca Launch

    20130403_205507

    Elana and I attended the official launch of Jazz Bistro a few weeks ago, and even though was freezing outside; it was soon forgotten once we entered the neat space- I was loving the black and red interior, with the dimly red lights, and let’s not forget live music!

    20130403_205517

    Jazz Bistro is Toronto’s newest jazz club and restaurant located on Victoria Street in downtown Toronto. We got to sample the menu and sipped on yummy cocktails (and wine naturally) while jamming to some dope live music! It was a good night.

    Life Lessons from Playing Candy Crush Saga

    If one game can be both addictive, colorful, challenging and awesome – it becomes an instant world wide sensation.

    I am one of the 3 million who got bitten by the Candy Crush Saga bug. When you spend hours with this candy-esque puzzle game, you dream of it and think of it all the time. Look at all the FANdemonium this game can spawned!





    Here are 10 life lessons I realized while spending hours playing this game:

    1. It doesn’t matter how close you are, you are not done til you are done
    2. Unexpected combinations can lead to unexpected results
    3. Be patient because the next best thing is just one move away
    4. Give lives, receive lives and take a break
    5. There are lots of way to skin a cat clear the jelly
    6. Something that looks easy may not always be
    7. Speed matters more than strategy sometimes
    8. A multi can’t always save the day
    9. Money can help you (fish, bombs, moves) but you don’t need it if you got experience and skills
    10. Don’t get sidetracked by easy moves, keep your eye on the prize and objective always
