I usually prefer pink peonies but couldn't resist these scarlet beauties

Tulips on Park Avenue
Tony Moly Peach Hand Cream and Skinfood Hydro Fitting Snail Sheet Mask. Love both already!
Picked these up from Urban Outfitters. Did you know that they stock a range of Asian skincare?
You can also check it out online. Save 20% now with the code UOBEAUTY
Discovered that there's a Laneige store just walking distance from my apartment
And they have their own magazine featuring stunning spokesperson Song Hye Kyo
Obsessed with blood oranges lately. So tasty and pretty!
Our favorite xiao long bao (soup dumplings with pork) from Joe's Shanghai in Chinatown. No crab cause hubster is allergic.
Hakata spicy ramen at Hide-Chan Ramen is another favorite
Lady M's chocolate banana mille crȇpes cake is kind of like a little slice of heaven
This particular flavor is only available at the Plaza Food Hall outpost
Ohhhmigosh I NEED those chocolate banana crepes!!

Such beautiful photos! P.S. It's just after 11pm here and I'm getting ready for bed and literally just felt hungry after seeing your gorgeous food shots! lol
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, the cake... It just looks amazing! And also I never knew about the Urban Outfitters stocking skin care - will definitely keep that in mind - thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day, darling! x
All of this looks amazing, I need the food, haha!! Peonies are my favourites. And the products look great, will have to see if the Urban Outfitters have these in them!! Super pics doll, I hope you have a sweet weekend xx
ReplyDeleteLove love love, Rowena! Those tulips in Park Avenue....that soup dumpling....sigh....

Love this post, Rowena!
ReplyDeleteSo esthetic and artistic that is is a pleasure to scroll down, but it is also very useful for me!
I must try that ramen place. The recent place I've visited is the Ivan ramen in the Gotham West Market but I wasn't that happy with ramen itself.
Love Lady M cakes and my favorite is still the original! ;D
Oh those scarlet beauties are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAhh and can you believe I still haven't been to Lady M? My friend also told me it's divine. It is yet another place to add to my must eats list!

I had no idea about Urban Outfitters stocking Asian beauty products but now I know it is getting me very excited! I do love their eclectic range of goodies and the fact that they don't just stick to clothes but I don't think I've ever actually bought one thing from them… They are pretty pricey! Lovely flowers by the way. Hope you're enjoying the start to the weekend. Rosemary x

Ah beautiful photos! I am still learning to use my DSLR camera. Whew there is a lot to know! Focusing is so different from old school analogue camera. I am thinking of taking a class here in NY. It is a 6 week class and costs $299. I can not do it right now as I am not working but I will in the future. Maybe we could take it together.

*___* The fooood looks delicious! I have yet to find a delicious dumpling house near my area. I also really adore those scarlet peonies! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm always surprised at what Urban Outfitters sells, beauty-wise! Always a treat going in there and finding things that I thought I couldn't find in Canada :D
ReplyDeleteLove the scarlet blooms!

ReplyDeleteThose tulips set in front of the taxi are just so magical. And I love Tony Moly - and I'm dying for one of those little peach lotions.
ReplyDeleteI must say that the red peonies look really beautiful that I think I would love red peonies from now on. The blood orange looks tantalizing. I wonder how sweet it is. Ooh... I could do a xiao long bao right here right now.

Oo where is the laneige store?
ReplyDeleteThe food looks so yummy! Shall bookmark those recommendations :D
How do you get seats at Joe's Shanghai? I hear the line is always very long.
gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are all so beautiful. I'm not ready for summer yet either but the pretty flowers do help. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so random about Urban Outfitters. You know I've yet to find a sheet mask that I actually think does anything for me? I like the idea of them, though. And the fact that they make me look like a horror movie character.
All the food pictures look so good! I agree that blood oranges are delicious and I'd love to find vegetarian soup dumplings, the idea fascinates me.
Pretty flowers and the crepe cake looks delicious! =)
