The launch of Josie Natori’s Ready-to-Wear collection in Rustan’s takes fashion to new heights with its intricate and hand-finished details, which can be said as the ultimate expression of the art of Natori. The most opulent fabrics, complemented by the most dramatic silhouettes make for an unmatched transformation.

The collection embodies the spirit of the lotus, a symbol of beauty and optimism, and truly captures the essence of what the designs are all about. With a look back to the French colonial past of Indochine, Josie Natori Ready-to-Wear Spring/Summer 2012 collection moves forward into the next season with vibrant hues and modern silhouettes. The collection evokes the gentle shapes and grace of the Indochine women, captures the textures and energy of the busy Vietnam streets and awakens the colors and prints of the decorated pagodas and temples.

JUNK Vacation

We were so happy to be with Carlo and Rica Buenaflor!  Such a nice couple!

Previous entry:  Dinner at the Buenaflors December 2, 2010 

Bigg’s Diner December 3, 2010 

junk-vacation-04.jpg

We were talking to them and we were as overwhelmed as them with the beautiful resort and we agreed that this was like a honeymoon for us couples as well because the place was so romantic 

 junk-vacation-03.jpg

Rica introduced us to the term JUNK Vacation!!  She told me that every year they celebrate their anniversary which is in December but because it is Christmas time, they celebrate in January.  So since they knew they were going to Bali for the wedding, they saved this as their JUNK Vacation.  Heart2heart loves the idea!!!  We will definitely be adapting this practice and I am already planning our JUNK Vacation!! 🙂 Thanks Carlo and Rica for sharing this with us

junk-vacation.jpg

You will understand why they need JUNK vacations……Carlo and Rica have 5 kids!!!! haha!!  They really need some time without the kids 🙂

junk-vacation-01.jpg

Then again…..I think that it is because of the JUNK Vacations……that they have 5 kids!! haha again! 🙂

Daily Breakfast at Sangkar, Bvlgari Resort Bali

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

Breakfast is included with the package and you can take it between 6 am to 10am.  It can actually be brunch already if you have a late breakfast 🙂

sangkar-breakfast-01.jpg

It’s the only time of the day where we see and meet with everyone so it was nice

Oops!  Early birds who have eaten breakfast before any of us and are already swimming 🙂sangkar-breakfast-041.jpg

Handsome F & B manager always present and making sure everything is going well

sangkar-breakfast-045.jpg

I love the set up of the buffet breakfast!!!  It’s by the entrance in a black room – again a bit dark and dim lighting

Or Outdoor with a beautiful ocean view!

Aside from all that, you can order one hot item from the menu!!  So even if you are there for a few days, you can change your main dish

 So funny!  By the cliff there is a security guard watching out for monkeys, and on our last day at the resort, there was actually a monkey that came from the cliff and took some food from a Japanese woman’s table!!  I wish I had taken a photo of that moment, but I got scared when it happened 🙂

Karma Beach Bali

And we went to another resort to try other restaurants.  We went to Karma Beach

We were in Greece suddenly 🙂

Just like Bvlgari, you need to take a cable car to go down the beach

nammos-012.jpgnammos-014.jpgnammos-015.jpgnammos-016.jpgnammos-017.jpgnammos-019.jpg

We went for lunch and it was very very hot.  Though it was breezy- the sun was shining at noontime.  It would have been better to maybe stay upstairs
