JoJo's Bizarre Adventure "ジョジョの奇妙な冒険" x Shiseido HQ Ginza

Celebrating the grand opening of Shiseido Ginza building, Shiseido Head Quarter will be hosting a collab-exhibition with [ジョジョの奇妙な冒険] "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" from October 4 to October 9. Some of you might remember, I have been a fan of the manga for quite some time now. (not sure? check JoJo's Bizarre Adventure here) The exhibit will feature 19 photos with various hairstyle and make up by Shiseido's beauty top stylist, Tadashi Harada. Each style are based on the characters appeared in the manga written by Hirohiko Araki. Prefect timing for this coming fall/winter. The art of being a gentleman and the aesthetic of masculinity that Jojo being portrayed as, is not only applicable for men exclusively, women too can have the strength and the boldness like Jo Jo to become a true lady, feminine and beautiful yet strong and empowering. Washiki untempered natural beauty + hard edge British punk = new age Jo Jo lady, and that's vigorously beautiful.

The Wine Apartment . ワインアパートメント

Wined in style, a new concept of high quality living. The Wine Apartment Tokyo Japan this early autumn 2013 is open for rent. An apartment with underground wine cellar with a capacity of 10,000 bottles, ground-floor wine bar and bistro, and a on-site sommelier as a wine concierge. Absolutely brilliant, Bravo.

"You can't enjoy your favourite wine, when there is no space at home to store your wine properly"
The idea comes from the perspective of living with your wine.

The 1st level is Endo Risaburo Store 遠藤利三郎商店, a popular bistro in Tokyo, with a menu of 600 carefully selected collection of wine. As a resident there, you can enjoy the special service offered by 遠藤利三郎商店 such as food delivery straight to your dinning room or storing your own wine at their bistro cellar. The biggest characteristic of this wine apartment is that the management staffs are also sommeliers. As some of the staff explained: "I do not simply just manage the wine cellar, or plan an arrangement of parties for the weekend, such as coordination of the wine glass, more importantly I provide the support of a richer wine life." A total of 18 units are available for rent, in studio type units, the living room is installed with a standard tasting counter and wine cellar that can hold 26 bottles of wine. Wine Glass showcase that beautifully decorate the wine glasses is attached to the tasting counter top. Wine apartment floor design is also available as a party room as well as a residence, and SOHO, and office. Now, this is quality living.

Burberry Prorsum x Apple iphone 5s collaboration

Springtime, untimely the season of love. The Burberry Prorsum 2014 S/S women collection is flourishingly romantic. Join Christopher Bailey in his English rose garden. The runway collection featuring super-lightweight cashmere knits, gemstones and the petal bag. Humbly subtle, yet effortlessly sexy. The only thing that would be as flourishing as this runway collection at this point in my live would be my urge of getting my new phone. Can almost be sure to say that the Burberry Prorsum x Apple iphone 5s collaboration has envisioned me so much that I can almost be sure to say I'm going apple again. Burberry Prorsum 2014 S/S Women Collection was shot with iSight Camera of iPhone 5s, photos and videos that captured details on the runway, items, and design of the back stage was delivered to the whole world today. This time, Apple has made taking a picture thats "simply" beautiful easier than ever with the new iPhone 5s. Camera with aperture of f/2.2, 10 fps in burst mode for still camera, 120 fps at 720p for a nice slow-motion video. A new 15% bigger 8.0 megapixel image sensor with bigger 1.5 microns pixels. The new true tone flash uses a white LED and an amber LED to adjust the flash intensity and color temperature in order to let you light your subject evenly and natually. In addition to these, a new camera application in iOS 7 and image signal processor (ISP) that is in the A7 chip, faster photo capture and autofocus up to twice as fast, excellent dynamic range and more correction for image stabilization. And the new rose pink gold design, charming. Yea see, got too excited, I just can't stop speaking about iphone 5s rose gold :)
