In the end, we checked ourselves into <a href="http://www.akaresorts.com/">AKA resorts</a>, a surreal all-villa resort and spa place that's situated admist the organic farm and infamous golf course just 15-mins away from the city.<br /><br />We wouldn't deny using El's birthday as an excuse for this well-deserved getaway since we spent mine the month before on a staycay at Amara Santuary that was really really really bad (that was all before we found out that Capella offers us corporate rate at half of what we spent in Amara - oh, and if you are thinking of booking a really good villa stay with Amara, please don't!)<br /><br />Funny how this has morphed into a travel blog more than being fashion-centric. Hope you don't mine.<br /><br />Back to Hua-hin.<br /><br />You really have to be there to soak up the good crisp air. It's a place for you to not think about anything. Not forgetting that Hua Hin is the home to <a href="http://www.chivasom.com/">Chiva-som</a>, world's reknown luxury health resort.<br /><br />Everyday is spent lazing in the well-furnished villa; renting DVDs from the conceirge and ordering room service of ice-cold lemongrass drinks that compliments the sweltering weather, soaking up the sun and watching it tucking into the clouds every evening at the cabana upstairs.<br /><br />Of course you can bring out your inner Tiger Woods (no, not that) by driving up the range for some golfing action with the well-trained locals or engaged in yoga by the sea. And if you are more adventurous, we would recommend you the extreme ATV (be warned that you will be covered in mud at the end), jungle trek on the friendly elephants, or just ride on the horses along their infamous beach. We rented a bike, Scoopy-O, the locals coined. It brought us places, and helped us steered clear from the restricted timings back to the resort.<br /><br /><br />It could just be that we ended up in really bad Thai-food places all the time, but frankly, their seafood and western food seemed to taste better. I love Livanto, especially after a 3-hour massage and spa indulgence at White Sands. Elsa loves the fresh seafood and dragon prawns that was surprisingly yummy if you had realised the stall front was just a push cart tuck along the cramped alley of the night market.<br /><br />And if you are planning a trip there soon, I recommend <a href="http://www.huahintaxi.com/">huahin taxi </a>to you. The owner and his drivers are highly reliable and it's value-for-money. Have Fun!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>styledamselhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01319010639204721376noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035749792600962173.post-66236535152752316842010-07-21T06:47:00.001+08:002010-07-21T06:51:39.340+08:00Designer bags at up to 60% off - Luxonu<p align="left"><a href="http://luxonu.com/index.php" target="_blank">Luxonu </a>will be hosting a 4-hour Luxury Handbag party end of this month at the Singapore Expo.

The past months have been beyond crazy for us; we shifted to a new place, got ourselves some new deals, and just came back from Osaka and Kyoto.<br /><br />We've seen the Star Awards, and I must say, this year's red carpet show was probably one of the best thus far. In the past, there were aprons and yellow plastic shorts making appearances at such a "gala" event. The new generation artistes have now taken over the queens with polished styles with flawless make-up to match.<br /><br />My best dress was Joanne Peh and Jesseca Liu. Worst, of course, to some dude name Christopher Lee, the same legend that wore apron circa 1997.<br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><img src="http://www.asiaone.com/a1media/justwomen/08Aug08/christopher_lee2.jpg" /></p><p align="center"> </p><p align="left">Anyway, Audi Fashion Festival is back!

Its spacious grounds combine with bewildering spectacle of snow-capped mountains and valleys was an experience not to be missed. </p><p align="center"><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlI_bGsakiC99GhCFgpoOOscu7V1RNcve79YmpOznNGIVE2iVKhAfqBu-P7c_MMUoJSXSkTrg3oydU_e5UMho52px3Hx7_R1-rvP4W9aXqkXGDEQO-e4QChpTLOLIIc_Wbk32eCt7hfAlG/s1600-h/8.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlI_bGsakiC99GhCFgpoOOscu7V1RNcve79YmpOznNGIVE2iVKhAfqBu-P7c_MMUoJSXSkTrg3oydU_e5UMho52px3Hx7_R1-rvP4W9aXqkXGDEQO-e4QChpTLOLIIc_Wbk32eCt7hfAlG/" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidBAfiN0IfuAICY3gTseEXiIIfDURCFYGXZlr8wzP_Izl9fXocurQpbbGPUyZMo1N_wjnwmEzrWcg1dKCy5xI84couKK4TTUTgWyOnKTUi9slV-7LTjAWYVeUfuVgfNqozxtUQ3HsdjQEJ/s1600-h/12.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440746265027052866" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidBAfiN0IfuAICY3gTseEXiIIfDURCFYGXZlr8wzP_Izl9fXocurQpbbGPUyZMo1N_wjnwmEzrWcg1dKCy5xI84couKK4TTUTgWyOnKTUi9slV-7LTjAWYVeUfuVgfNqozxtUQ3HsdjQEJ/" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQibbAGBICJX5xCgU4uj-M53Q4Hk5m-ENWp76XNB75oZySf910rRFXdSzdjlqFpmqSe0m4yLmb5hhdZordlyW87ftsva8H4Lw4rm6jcqUyl5GOO0hWXJM15Ynp7imicdDEws8D0w4Y7Kn2/s1600-h/11.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440746255732209234" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQibbAGBICJX5xCgU4uj-M53Q4Hk5m-ENWp76XNB75oZySf910rRFXdSzdjlqFpmqSe0m4yLmb5hhdZordlyW87ftsva8H4Lw4rm6jcqUyl5GOO0hWXJM15Ynp7imicdDEws8D0w4Y7Kn2/" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjay5iKwNlrJrzuEtd7ectTLeAT2yBMzSeiF0CZS-CC5-bde09ed5Mc9IIkmg0SRO0oUZ1yrUU1YUWnL4ggYq-S_vBIa1Z89FuWzgVrFevOYG-RPSG_o7iD1Nd7-gJZKtEvjl5anQtbV-DS/s1600-h/10.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjay5iKwNlrJrzuEtd7ectTLeAT2yBMzSeiF0CZS-CC5-bde09ed5Mc9IIkmg0SRO0oUZ1yrUU1YUWnL4ggYq-S_vBIa1Z89FuWzgVrFevOYG-RPSG_o7iD1Nd7-gJZKtEvjl5anQtbV-DS/" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgBJEH1NCmyA-jQ7EtnCdgVig-aivjlQJPG82fuzhdDPxVGT0iKbClWzk3wzSK2iFMuA2X7ITWBCDlrx9efBbcxDkxO9RtP03bnTmn-ZTZdFFM-nZBnsjCznpwsXJAFLI8r3OINUFciVd9/s1600-h/13.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440746269631515762" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgBJEH1NCmyA-jQ7EtnCdgVig-aivjlQJPG82fuzhdDPxVGT0iKbClWzk3wzSK2iFMuA2X7ITWBCDlrx9efBbcxDkxO9RtP03bnTmn-ZTZdFFM-nZBnsjCznpwsXJAFLI8r3OINUFciVd9/" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBGj3QoegprJ_NRhmvpZP8PmCoKP7x2T0zGkWWAZ43k3qTy-TUTAOXNHI_WFYBdBOUjs6pBYkid5l3i-EuQk8JRC_6600xUMw0Lthgu7VOwg8zOuEsaEXXAQ7AcY56V-9K5eviy_C17yX/s1600-h/9.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBGj3QoegprJ_NRhmvpZP8PmCoKP7x2T0zGkWWAZ43k3qTy-TUTAOXNHI_WFYBdBOUjs6pBYkid5l3i-EuQk8JRC_6600xUMw0Lthgu7VOwg8zOuEsaEXXAQ7AcY56V-9K5eviy_C17yX/" border="0" /></a></p><p align="left"><br /><br />One would probably argue that it was not the best season for such a display but I love how the light snow and lack of sun brought a different perspective to the exhibits. The single best place I took interest among the cold would probably be <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Loire" target="_blank">Gabriel Loire's</a> tower of faceted glass called, "Symphonic Sculpture". Standing at the foot of the tower gazing up to the top of the spiral staircase, you can't help but be in awed by the enchanting colors that were lacking in the sea of white outside. The late French artist's was the pioneer in using slab glass which is much thicker and stronger than the stained glass technique of the Middle Ages. His liking towards the colour blue (associated with peace) was evident. The impressionist reflected everyday subjects like cars, fishing men in Symphonic Sculpture which was not often seen in his works for cathedrals. Strangely, the sight of ascending angels and soaring birds brought calmness to my mind. </p><p align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBL6FIqKlwspyPH3nn-74HDLBRdFpxDU1vrllKH5FAnsWHjz1Q8_Ds4OeILInO2lVxTsry4mpPpOvmPjxkxHsb-nOwQ5EEdzGTuh4swXzZ4cIoLekPDtJK90vA6UgmyW8MVrtZJlnuzoRX/s1600-h/2.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBL6FIqKlwspyPH3nn-74HDLBRdFpxDU1vrllKH5FAnsWHjz1Q8_Ds4OeILInO2lVxTsry4mpPpOvmPjxkxHsb-nOwQ5EEdzGTuh4swXzZ4cIoLekPDtJK90vA6UgmyW8MVrtZJlnuzoRX/" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxJNzxRI57p7QS5XprBqrQxJY699b69fBvhxN-c-TtKPnbtgvAj_3pNqnjX3BTFXb93dgFare5x0LYp23kwJj8x_MjmY7OlocC1stp62LHguA8yxTTdP7Z2O-jYtE6XZoy-c-AGWXPXJaN/s1600-h/6.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxJNzxRI57p7QS5XprBqrQxJY699b69fBvhxN-c-TtKPnbtgvAj_3pNqnjX3BTFXb93dgFare5x0LYp23kwJj8x_MjmY7OlocC1stp62LHguA8yxTTdP7Z2O-jYtE6XZoy-c-AGWXPXJaN/" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievlKsyUfObN28s7Nk9q72f96DUxx3OVbRRyajunYRTIOZRjQXquEK4sTlO9TYD_F3N33XIHNuJREes_9WZf-fN5pF5B9OoF7bS694rKki20ln4wvRD82mGL2bWr4iAOlr2MkBP6mMA9Dq/s1600-h/1.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievlKsyUfObN28s7Nk9q72f96DUxx3OVbRRyajunYRTIOZRjQXquEK4sTlO9TYD_F3N33XIHNuJREes_9WZf-fN5pF5B9OoF7bS694rKki20ln4wvRD82mGL2bWr4iAOlr2MkBP6mMA9Dq/" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9tn8WswMqGpqJ4qPk_I5mtaln8UMvIR4UZtScZBmhVB8X7bGlwJ5qKSDA83kcPbNFPQTQE0pP99vuSqLyTMmIqI6Uuxh8eMpaD6YWZB69EX6PyZuGcQqptaMHeiZVqtQQybIA4dhuC_ed/s1600-h/7.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9tn8WswMqGpqJ4qPk_I5mtaln8UMvIR4UZtScZBmhVB8X7bGlwJ5qKSDA83kcPbNFPQTQE0pP99vuSqLyTMmIqI6Uuxh8eMpaD6YWZB69EX6PyZuGcQqptaMHeiZVqtQQybIA4dhuC_ed/" border="0" /></a><br /></p><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicHuww4Jhd8KgGGw0qQ88mtNkxEQO9Z0AqVZC3jstE_YTVoFHcXVXBPB6helmtCXMab9lghdSPEYqRWariVkqbH8zGOj1CT1L87dBQcrl9EB896ZsKn4_9SS-8ykL8Y-22dZmKF7vJ0zn0/s1600-h/5.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicHuww4Jhd8KgGGw0qQ88mtNkxEQO9Z0AqVZC3jstE_YTVoFHcXVXBPB6helmtCXMab9lghdSPEYqRWariVkqbH8zGOj1CT1L87dBQcrl9EB896ZsKn4_9SS-8ykL8Y-22dZmKF7vJ0zn0/" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEMLU-5r_PTzFRfiIcmpz8Z7X9i5mcidnvK76KyaGYMe8TF-iyLZbpeHDgstpH4XEsDcuUqMFUMjeRZDbnoz779sVP3kRtAtB1OOy0KVGnqJBI8OkeriHFO3aCBF2gutgvqV1aH91cC4Pk/s1600-h/4.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEMLU-5r_PTzFRfiIcmpz8Z7X9i5mcidnvK76KyaGYMe8TF-iyLZbpeHDgstpH4XEsDcuUqMFUMjeRZDbnoz779sVP3kRtAtB1OOy0KVGnqJBI8OkeriHFO3aCBF2gutgvqV1aH91cC4Pk/" border="0" /></a></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_26781kwtKDIeJ3gTlwQWFBeJSWOvW8zSHbhItRFtt7S3IK_sWDVFo2-RvCkmtRJlJsOC5a5tIvKPnTBjx__y5ycNBpeOJKYlNKzbdQChuK2O7_TUjJ97JuwnWgrc7kA-VV0RsTR7ExcX/s1600-h/3.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_26781kwtKDIeJ3gTlwQWFBeJSWOvW8zSHbhItRFtt7S3IK_sWDVFo2-RvCkmtRJlJsOC5a5tIvKPnTBjx__y5ycNBpeOJKYlNKzbdQChuK2O7_TUjJ97JuwnWgrc7kA-VV0RsTR7ExcX/" border="0" /></a> </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><br />Do pop by the Open-Air Museum if you happen to plan a trip down to Hakone, it's definitely worth the effort.</div><div></div><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440746278739910706" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdWnUZD39qBofb71EQfOBAPT2ZXSD6bmH1Sdbu8RRIoFVNUYBzoO06gMuGFRp34ddrNF9yvq4eemycWwbt74KgNssM1YXh3deKHdJ9y1yAWPDCBCH2LlUv_N_uMuWnl03RiqdcuWiJFJbC/" border="0" /></p><div><span style="font-size:85%;color:#999999;">The Hakone Open-Air Museum: Ninotaira, Hakone-machi, Kanagawa-ken, 250-0493 Japan<br /></span><a href="http://www.hakone-oam.or.jp/english/index.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#999999;">http://www.hakone-oam.or.jp/english/index.html</span></a></div>styledamselhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01319010639204721376noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035749792600962173.post-48060777472161852942010-02-13T19:33:00.002+08:002010-02-13T19:36:57.250+08:00Happy Lunar New YearTo all Style Damsel fashionistas,<br /><br />We would like to wish you a Happy Lunar New Year.
