a drop of rose, a drop of good will.
The pureDKNY collection introduces the new scent for women, pureDKNY a drop of rose. there are many flowers but the rose stands alone; elegant, timeless and authentic. pureDKNY a drop of rose is made with naturally derived rose from turkey. soft and sensually romantic, one flower, one love, one scent. Watch this video to learn how pureDKNY A Drop of Rose fragrance comes about.
The rich soil, rain and sunshine of the Isparta valley in Turkey give way to the perfect rose. It is in this place that the story of pureDKNY a Drop of Rose is born. See the story unfold. Click here to view pureDKNY A Drop of Rose photo album.

Next, we were taught how to make a heart shape cushion keychain. Though I'm used to sewing fabrics and stuffs with my own hands (thanks to my hobby-cosplay), I'm still not used to sewing a blind stitch. A crooked closure at the side of the heart can be seen cos my blind stitch is really... not so blind. hahhax~ (^▽^") Then we sprayed the fragrance onto the heart to make it a scented keychain. Its a very cute keychain which I now often sprayed it with pureDKNY A drop of rose and keep it in my bag so everytime I opens up my bag, I can smell roses~
The products that I received from the event are:
- pureDKNY A Drop of Rose EDP 100ml
- pureDKNY Canvas Hobo bag

The packaging clearly states the manufacturing date of the product.

Ingredients
A clean, sleek & simple water drop shaped glass bottle with the word pureDKNY printed on one side.
The wording's in pale pink & its cap is coated in matte metallic pink to signify that this is the pureDKNY A Drop of Rose EDP and to differentiate itself from the Vanilla and Verbena fragrances.
Upon the first few spray, I can clearly smell the perfect rose scent. It brought my mind to the Rose Garden which I once visited in Japan, less the pungency & soil scent. (lolx~)
If you ever holds a bunch of roses in your hands, try smelling them deeply. You can get almost the similar scent from this bottle of perfume too except that I feel the real roses smelled a tiny bit more sharp, crisp and 'rotten'. But of course, roses have already started rotting by the time you hold them in your hands. (Unless you grow your own roses)
With the pureDKNY A Drop of Rose perfume, I can always smell fresh roses at anytime. The perfume when used on my body smells slightly sweet, romantic, warm yet calming, it really makes me feel like I just toured the Rose Garden under the morning sun and that scent, lingered on my body. When I used the perfume, it stayed on me the whole day. It even stayed on my clothes till the next day. Not that I didn't bath, the rose scent actually came from the clothes (sprayed with perfume) in the laundry basket. Lolx~ (^o^")
The perfume on my wrists fades away when I wash my hands, however the rest still lingers on other parts of my body, just less heavy at the end of the day.
I usually like having more than 5 pumps on my body (quiet alot yah? ^,^"). 2-4 times on my wrists/arms and 2 times on my legs/pants and lastly 1 spray on my hair. I never tried spraying body spray on my hair except for hair fragrances last time.
I started doing it because an image from "We got married" (A korean variety show) showing a celebrity couple spraying perfume on their head was stuck in my brain, just becos Na mentioned it to me and we all thought it was funny when the couple started doing silly things like *cupping hand over the head and quickly cupping over nose* trying to catch the scent. And yah, that is why now I spray on my head too. lolx~
I always liked rose scents and love it more if it smells pure and subtle. pureDKNY A Drop of Rose doesn't mix with other scents, it smells like pure sweet rose to me.

Pictures of soaps taken at the LUSH flagship store at Wisma Atria. Once entered, I was warmly welcomed by both the LUSH and Shark Savers people.
I never get tired looking at the colourful soaps laid upon the shelves. My eyes stopped at various beautifully decorated soaps and it made me imagine myself in a bathtub using them... *day dreams* Opps! lolx~

Press Conference
Nafees Khundker, Director of Lush Cosmetics Singapore & Jonn Lu, Shark Savers Singapore giving a short speech.
Mr. Nafees Khundker, Director of LUSH, Singapore, explained, “100% of the LUSH products are not tested on animals and are designed to have a low impact on the environment.” he said. “We are very proud to partner with Shark Savers in what is a critical initiative to save sharks, which face the threat of extinction due to the consumption of shark fin soup.” Jonn Lu, Regional Director of Shark Savers, Asia Pacific, noted that “the over-fishing of sharks, mostly for their fins, happens out in the ocean, where most people don’t see it or know about its impact. People care about what they know, and they protect what they care about. We need to make sure people are aware about this issue, which is having a severe impact not just on sharks but the rest of the ocean ecosystem, and us humans who depend on the oceans for our existence.”
Statistics were mentioned by John Lu during the press event:
Each year, the fins of tens of millions of sharks are slaughtered, with their fins entering the shark fin trade.
1/3 of all shark species are threatened with extinction.
80% of open ocean shark species frequently targeted in high seas fisheries are threatened or near threatened with extinction.
All 14 species of shark most prevalent in the shark fin trade are Threatened or Near Threatened with extinction.
More information and references for the above claims may be found HERE
The celebrity participants gave their own reasons for supporting Shark Savers’ campaign. NMP Fang said, “If you look at the damage we are doing to the environment through this activity [eating shark fin soup], it is huge.” Fang urged people “to stand by your personal convictions” and not be afraid to speak out against shark fin soup. Yasminne Cheng added, “If there are traditions that are negative, that affect our welfare, then we should rethink these traditions.” Hossan Leong joked that he is “doing this for 'selfish reasons', because if you don’t save the sharks, you won’t have healthy oceans, and I like seafood.” He referred to research that showed removing sharks from the ecosystem can result in the loss of species further down the food chain. He added, "the next generation should have the opportunity to see these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat."

LUSH, a vegetarian company with vegetarian beliefs and sensibilities, which has over 820 shops across 50 countries around the globe, has taken Shark Savers’ pledge to not to serve any sharks fin dishes at corporate events, promote any shark fin products, or reimburse employees for expenses for sharks fin products. LUSH has also supported Shark Savers’ campaigns in Hong Kong, the United States, Canada, and Taiwan.

Shark Fin Soap
Alright ladies!!.... and men! Time to zoom into the shark fin!.. Soap i mean. Here I present some close-up images of the soap. An ocean blue soap shaped in a little ~ wave symbol which also represents the ocean. Remember the days when you as a kid, drew many ~ symbols on paper, pointed it and says "SEA". (lolx~)
The shark fin is made in black cardboard paper. It protrudes out from the middle of the soap which mimics the real shark fins seen gliding across the ocean surface. This is perhaps an image of what they wanted us to imagine, watching the sharks able to swim in the ocean WITH their fins and not without them.
This soap has a pretty strong 'ocean-y' smell (a smell that reminds me of ocean that is), but with more lime in it. From the LUSH website, its said that it has actually scents of lime, lavender and seaweed. The sea weeds found at the bottom of the soap kinda projects the plants living on the ocean floor. As like many other LUSH soap, this soap is easy to lather with water. After bathing using the soap, my skin feels clean and has this slight waxy after-feel and the scent lingers on my body.
Since I don't see any of my faces in the events photo, I shall bombard you with my LOTD! But I don't want my face to become the main subject for this post so I thumbnail them. lalala~ acting cute etc etc etc~
Hair covering my whole face is like the best LOTD huh. =p~

Event: Benefit Pretty in PINK Party at Tangs Orchard
During last year December holidays, I attended the benefit Pretty in Pink party at Tangs Orchard, celebrating the opening of their flagship store.
Benefit store is just near the main entrance of Tangs Orchard. When I entered and looked up, I saw beautiful round medallions with exquisite carvings hanging down from the ceiling. It's quite a pretty sight.
All attendees were greeted by their friendly staff and BAs. And Spy girls were seen roaming around the store.
Sure win spin wheel for customers who purchased benefit products during the party.
Beautiful ivory vanity table.
Their range of products is never ending!

Secret Blink Chapter 36
A whispery song can be heard.
Eerie, but your heart’s desire aches.
Once you step into a forbidden place, you won’t go back again…and that’s fine. A secret that nobody knows about except me. Frighteningly bold, with no boundaries
An unforgettable immersion.

Event: Beautiful Japan Denim at JRunway
On 18 Jan, I was invited to attend the Beautiful Japan Denim event, a Japan Denim Project in collaboration with LASALLE College of the Arts, showcasing the exquisite products from Kurashiki region in Japan of 10 well-established denim brands for the first time in Singapore. It was held at the JRunway flagship store. I'm always happy to attend JRunway events as I like to patron their store and had been doing so for the past few months since their opening. ^_^
Here's a pic I instagram when I was there:

Participating Brands
BIG JOHN
In 1960s and 1970s where a huge number of Japanese brands appeared like bamboo shoots and started manufacturing jeans, Big John was born with pride as a manufacturer of domestic jeans among them. Pouring its ‘know-how’ accumulated from sewing work wear and uniforms originally in Kojima into denims, Big John has become a Japan-made jeans brand representing Kojima.

Fashion Runway Show
At JRunway awaiting for the fashion show to start~
During the fashion show, besides getting my eyes glued to the hunks (uhhh-hum.) I also took a closer look at the details on all the designs, mostly the jeans and jackets. The buttons, pockets, up to the zips & seams were very nicely designed and sewn. I totally dig those jeans that the guys wore, they look so cool in them.
Here's the models dressed in denim apparels made by the 10 brands. I think my picture collage can serve as a 'How to dress in denims' reference book. Lolx~
*Note: I didn't post up all the pics I took as few of them were blur. Sorry for the semi-blur images. ▽ Click to enlarge images ▽
▲ I like that female dip dye blouse! ♥
Finale catwalk
Beautiful Japan Denim Pop-up Showroom
After the event, we were also invited to view their pop-up showroom that was set up just a short distance away from the Plaza Singapura extension wing entrance
I totally love the pop-up showroom idea. It is fully air-conditioned (for spoilt singaporeans who hate hot weather, like me! Lolx~) and the afternoon sunlight shone through the glass windows making the interior look bright, yet cozy. Every product showcased inside this showroom appeared sharp and clear to my eyes and my camera lens.
Denim is a woven fabric that uses yarn like these.
They covered half of the floor with their denim fabric that look almost like my denim canvas shoes! haha~
commonplace half jeans sewn onto a denim fabric with their logo printed over in gold, such a beautiful artwork.
More jeans from SEAMS, on the racks & on the floor. Spot rainbow macarons in this pic. lolx~
Tie dye + distressed denim? So cool~
What I took from the pop-up showroom, lots of catalogues!
Among all, SEAMS catalogue stands out the most. They used their denim fabric to make a 'pocket', embroidered on one side and printed their logo on the other.
