<span class="_5yl5">Hello everyone. I’m back with my kitchen diaries and today, I’m going to share to you a famous Northern European delicacy, truly a Scandinavian confectionery. Although it’s been baked all over the world but I have never enjoyed it as good as the Swedish Kanelbullar. I got this recipe from my Swedish family and apparently, it’s a very old receipt. Hope you enjoy!</span><br />

<span class="_5yl5">As an Instagram addict, I saw a lot of bloggers posting photos about the bags they acquired last year, 2017. Well, 2017 has been a good year and I have also purchased my dream Chanel bag- The Classic Flap Bag. So this inspired me to write a blog about my Chanel purchases from 2017, Chanel addict here! Okay, it’s not a lot but I’m truly contented of my Chanel collection right now. Well, almost! Still saving up for my next Chanel dream bag. </span><br />
<span class="_5yl5"><br /></span>
My first Chanel purchase for the year 2017 was in February, a valentines gift for myself, a red colour nail polish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N5cTtCC2jAY/Wkz_k113i-I/AAAAAAAAJ2w/b_h456XvFT85pg0V3EiVkFwWr96u_XtdQCLcBGAs/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N5cTtCC2jAY/Wkz_k113i-I/AAAAAAAAJ2w/b_h456XvFT85pg0V3EiVkFwWr96u_XtdQCLcBGAs/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I got this dream bag on my birthday and I’m so loving it. From the materials to the design, it’s the perfect bag! I admit, I wouldn’t mind having more of The Classic Flap Bag in different colours. I’m not really a fan of the Chanel perfumes, just not really my scent but when I accidentally tried the Allure at a duty free shop, it brings back memories. Then I remembered I already used this perfume back in college. Now, I’m loving the Allure smell, very alluring indeed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
These sunglasses were actually a Christmas present from my Swedish family. Well, let me tell you the story, my second family gave me money as my Christmas gift so I went straight to Chanel boutique. Lol! I’m really happy to have my first ever Chanel sunglasses. And my last Chanel purchase, The Coco Mademoiselle Fresh Moisture Mist. I was gifted a small perfume tester and I so love the smell but I took the mist because it's so fresh and lighter than the perfume.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So here are my Chanel purchases, what’s yours? Crossing my fingers to have more Chanel this year and be able to buy my second dream Chanel bag.<br />

Ahhh, India! Finally crossed out of my bucket list. Although I wanted to see Taj Mahal in Agra but because of our Indian friend’s advice plus my thorough research about security, it ended up in Chennai. But the visit to Mahabalipuram, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, about 60 kilometers south of Chennai, was definitely the highlight of this beautiful, exotic trip.<br />
<br />
Staying at a beach resort in Mahabalipuram, the area was recommended as one of the best beach destinations of South Asia but it’s definitely not on my list especially the strong, perilous waves.<br />
<br />
Mamallapuram, or Mahabalipuram, is a town on a strip of land between the Bay of Bengal and the Great Salt Lake, in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Founded by the Pallava king Narasimhavarman I, Mahabalipuram is famously known for The Shore Temple, Pancha Rathas, Descent of the Ganges, Krishna's Butterball and Tiger Cave; these monuments and temples were carved out of granite in the 7th and 8th centuries.<br />

However, due to time constraints, I was only able to see the former capital Yangon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The highlight of this trip was, of course, visiting an elephant orphanage in Bago. Winga Baw Elephant Camp was recommended by a friendly Burmese driver/tour guide and the 2-hour car trip was totally worth it. It was such a heartwarming experience to bottle-feed the orphaned baby elephants. I'm forever grateful to the staff of Winga Baw Elephant Camp for entrusting me with this obligation, as I am truly an elephant lover and this encounter was really an unforgettable one.<br />

<br />
<br />
In the camp, you can have a close encounter with both baby elephants and big elephants. And for about 5 dollars, you can feed them with a basket of bananas. You can also witness some of the elephants in their natural habitat as the elephants are allowed to roam in the nearby jungle. And they always return in the camp at nightfall.<br />

Vintage cars, vintage Chanel, vintage costume jewelry and sometimes, vintage apparels. I have always been enamored of the 1920's, the epoch full of sophistication, elegance and great sense of style. With my antique taste, I do believe I'm an old soul. Vintage fashion would always stir my curiosity and keep me wondering how the previous owners would glamorously don the lovely pieces.</span><br />
<span class="_5yl5"><br /></span>
<span class="_5yl5">Since I've been to Bangkok countless times, I have discovered some wonderful vintage places around the city and I wouldn't call it thrifting as these are trendy vintage boutiques. So today's blog, I'm going to show you some of my gorgeous luxury vintage finds.</span><br />
<span class="_5yl5"><br /></span>
<b><br /></b>
<b>I. Burberry Scarf and Fendi Hanky.</b><br />

<br />
I got these vintage Burberry scarf and Fendi hanky for US $10 each at Eco Shop in Terminal 21. The Fendi hanky is a perfect bag accessory, use it like a twilly or just tie it around the bag handle. The Burberry, I normally use as a neck scarf and I just love the book print.<br />

<br />
The story behind this dress is funny! While out with friends in Bangkok, I needed a scarf badly since that night was a little chilly. Told them I will just look for a cheap scarf on the street but there wasn't. And since we're close to Terminal 21, so I just went there to look for a scarf but I found this dress instead, fell in love and bought it! But I made a lot of changes to this chiffon dress. Bought it for US $50 at Basement of Samantha, a vintage fashion shop in Terminal 21.<br />

You wouldn't believe how much I paid for this CHANEL handbag! I bought it for US $75, it was actually US $100 but I haggled so I got it for that price! And yes, authenticated and it's original! The bag was actually damaged on the bottom part so have to send it at a bag spa to have it repaired but then the outcome is perfect.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15924066336844903341noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172730141686888729.post-84533053415453982392017-06-02T12:19:00.000+07:002017-06-02T12:19:25.726+07:00Will You Make A Difference?For friends and family in Asia and Europe who entrusted me to donate clothes and other stuff, I already gave them to the orphanages in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.

Founded in 1786 by Captain Francis Light of the British East India Company, Georgetown was one of the first British settlements in South East Asia then it became a British Crown Colony in 1867.<br />
<br />
Despite the extremely hot weather in the month of March, walking around Georgetown was totally worth it. I am in awe of the historical sites and preserved century-old buildings. Having the reputation of Malaysia's gastronomic capital, never miss to try the street food around. It is the perfect definition for the term ''where east meets west''. Exploring the small alleys was like going back to its rich past where the spice trade was rampant. I wish I had taken more photos.<br />

So whenever I go out, I always try to look good not for anyone else but for myself. Since my teenage years, I was already interested in fashion and style. In fact, when I was 14, I modeled for a local designer in my hometown. </span><br />
<span class="_5yl5"><br /></span>
<span class="_5yl5">And my motto, I'd rather have a few clothes but with quality than having too many but breaks quickly. So let me tell you my secret on where to shop good quality designer clothes in Ho Chi Minh City. </span><br />
<span class="_5yl5"><br /></span>
<span class="_5yl5">As I have mentioned in my previous blog post, <a href="http://moitravelandfashion.blogspot.com/2013/04/ho-chi-minh-city-best-place-to-shop.html" target="_blank">Ho Chi Minh is one of the best shopping</a> destinations in South East Asia. Being the factory hub to many International brands like Zara, Mango, Michael Kors, North Face, Nike and a lot more, you can find these brands in the market for half or even one-third of the retail price. Also, since most of these products came straight from the factory, you cannot guarantee to have your size available as sometimes they only come in a few or a piece.</span><br />
<span class="_5yl5"><br /></span>
<span class="_5yl5">For instance, some years ago, I was lucky to have found an original Tory Burch Travel Flats in my size. I bought at Lucky Plaza for about 100 USD and online it costs 250 USD.</span><br />

<span class="_5yl5"><br /></span>If you're looking for winter clothes, sports wear or sports shoes, Russian Market is the best place to go. And for you ladies, the best place to shop for shoes and dresses is Lucky Plaza.<br />
<br />
Barbour is an English luxury and high quality brand. In fact, it is a favorite of the British Royal Family. When I was in Scotland a year ago, I went to a luxury shop called House of Bruar. The cheapest Barbour Jacket in the shop was about 180 GBP (230 USD). If you're lucky, did you know you can find them in Russian Market? And you wouldn't believe the price, sold for only 60 USD and yes, ORIGINAL!<br />

And the good thing about living in a tropical country is you don't have to travel afar to find the serenity and haven you deserve.<br />
<br />
A coastal fishing town in Bin Thuan Province with 12 kilometers that have been transformed into a resort destination, Mui Ne is definitely the weekend paradise you've been waiting for. About 220 kilometers from Saigon, it takes approximately 5 hours to reach Mui Ne by <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g1009804-i12979-k4103093-How_do_I_get_to_Mui_Ne_from_Ho_Chi_Minh-Mui_Ne_Phan_Thiet_Binh_Thuan_Province.html" target="_blank">bus</a>.<br />

<br />
Aside from being one of Vietnam's most popular beach destination, Mui Ne is also dubbed as a Kitesurfer's paradise. If you want to see other attractions aside from the beach then head to the red and white sand dunes.<br />
<br />
At night, Mui Ne transforms into a food paradise and party heaven, a perfect concoction for fun!<br />

If you're following me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/travelling_moi/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, you will know that I'm an avid fan of the French luxury brand Chanel. The reason why I became a Chanel lover, as described on <a href="http://moitravelandfashion.blogspot.com/2015/03/my-chanel-collection.html" target="_blank">my first blog</a>, is because of my mother.<br />
<br />
My favorite Chanel pieces are from the 80's and 90's as I am really into vintage Chanel. Most of my Chanel accessories and bags were bought online or in a vintage shop during my travels abroad.<br />
<br />
Since I wrote my first blog about my Chanel collection which was two years ago, here's an update of my growing collection.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I really like the black bucket bag (from Chanel Cosmetics) but I regret I didn't buy the big one. I first saw it in Sydney, Australia some years ago but I didn't buy. So happy I saw them again in Bangkok, Thailand. The shoes behind are really cute but I haven't use them yet.</td></tr>

<br />
The event was about Trollbeads fanatics and collectors, gathered together at a café in Dong Khoi Street to share their one passion. Not only it was about meeting new friends, the event was also about team work. Fun games were played and a raffle draw was made with Trollbeads jewelry as prizes.<br />

<b><u>The Trollbeads Story</u></b><br />
<br />
The story about the original and unique Trollbeads all started in
Denmark in 1976. The first bead, which later gave name to the Trollbeads
collection, was a small bead decorated with no less than 6 faces. It
was designed by Søren Silversmith and sold from his father Svend's
jewellery shop in central Copenhagen. The beads were created at a time
where it was fashionable to have a silver bead hanging on a leather
thong around the neck. But instead of letting the bead hang in an
eyelet, Søren wanted to let the leather cord go through the bead. Later
on, Søren's sister, Lise, began to put the beads on silver bracelets,
one on each bracelet.<br />
<br />
Lise opened another jewellery store and one day a customer asked to
have an extra bead put on her bracelet. The storekeeper was surprised
but followed the customer's wish. From then on, the adventure and
Trollbeads movement started. In cooperation with the customers and
according to their wishes, the collection grew. This was the invention
and the beginning of an original jewellery concept that today is enjoyed
worldwide. <br />

If you are thirsty for an adventure, you will definitely enjoy your trip to the gateway of Northern Mindanao.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1) White Water Rafting.</b> Cagayan de Oro City has always been famous for its white water rafting. A total of 4 hours adventure (Basic Water Rafting) chasing the rapids of the mysterious river of Cagayan de Oro City, you will also get to see the beautiful jungle as you travel downstream. Book your water rafting adventure <a href="http://www.kagaycagayandeororafting.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>2) White Sand Beaches Of Initao.</b> If you want to take it slow, just lie on beach and have a nice barbecue picnic then head to Initao. About 30 km from Cagayan de Oro City, you can either rent a car or take a taxi to get there or simply stay at one of the beach resorts in Initao to have a break from the hustle and bustle of Cagayan de Oro City.<br />

<b>3) Dahilayan Adventure Park.</b> Do you want to try Asia’s longest dual zipline and fly like Superman from a launch point at 4,700 feet above sea level? Then Dahilayan Adventure Park is certainly the place to go! It is about 40 minutes - 1 hour away from the bustling commercial center of Cagayan de Oro City.

<br />
<b>4) Mintugsok Falls.</b> There are two ways to get there. By trail hiking from Indahag or from Mapawa Nature Park. If you ask me, I always pick the trail hiking from Indahag! It's more fun and you will see the beautiful nature around.

I have read from different blogs about their magnificent Paris Flea Market finds but sadly these flea markets are only open on the weekends.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oXkTYXA4nA4/V9PTeW2RH4I/AAAAAAAAJaI/F_jR_oaUJqswN1B965d9sTKC9lxg9OoaACLcB/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oXkTYXA4nA4/V9PTeW2RH4I/AAAAAAAAJaI/F_jR_oaUJqswN1B965d9sTKC9lxg9OoaACLcB/s640/1.jpg" width="425" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I went to <a href="http://reciproque.fr/" target="_blank">Réciproque</a>, as it was recommended by <a href="http://oliviapalermo.com/vintage-paris/" target="_blank">Olivia Palermo</a> on her blog, to check on their vintage Chanel pieces. The shop is located at Rue de la Pompe and from where I'm staying (Boulevard Hausmann), it only took 7 stops via the Metro. Réciproque is one of the biggest consignment shops or dépôts-vente in Paris. When I stepped into the shop, it felt like coming into a fashion heaven with arrays of Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Hermés, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin and many more.<br />
<br />
Like a kid in a candy store, I was confused and couldn't decide which row to start first. Luckily, one of the owners of Réciproque was there and very helpful. Although my objective of this vintage tour is to find vintage Chanel earrings, I ended up shopping Gianvito Rossi wedge sandals and a new Hermés silk scarf.<br />

I immediately thought of The Reverie Saigon-<a href="http://rjitalian.thereveriesaigon.com/" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">Romeo and Juliet Italian Lounge and Restaurant</a> in Dong Khoi street since it was recently recommended to me by a Vietnamese friend who works in the hotel and restaurant business. This friend also introduced me to Maximilian and Marco, the managers of the restaurant.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving at the fabulous establishment, we were greeted and ushered by the receptionist and brought us to our lovely table. The entire dining room was absolutely beautifully furnished and set, the lavish and intricate design gives a very romantic ambiance with a background music very relaxing to the ears.<br />
Marco came to our table to accommodate us with the menu. The carte du jour consisted of different savory Italian dishes and since it was hard for me to decide, I took the Salmon.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Welcome drinks came promptly after our orders then drinks followed by bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip. To our surprise, a palatable complimentary starter was introduced by the cameriere. After a few minutes of chit chat, the main course arrived. The food was presented artistically. The Italian chef drop by the table to say hello and asked about our dinner. My verdict? Every bite is divine. Since the food was really good, we decided to end it with a sweet treat. I had a special dessert, Tiramisu, made at our table plus another complimentary Italian cream cake pops served in a glass jar of liquid nitrogen.<br />

<br />
During my visit to Sri Lanka, one of the highlights of my trip was to visit an elephant orphanage. Known for having the largest herd of captive elephants in the world, Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is a remarkable place for caring and protecting many orphaned wild elephants found wandering around the forests of Sri Lanka.<br />
<br />
Located at Pinnawala village, 13 km northeast of Kegalle town in Sabaragamuwa province. The orphanage was first established in 1975 by the Sri Lankan Department of Wildlife Conservation for
feeding, providing care and sanctuary to orphaned baby elephants that
were found in the wild.<br />
<br />
In the village, you will be able to enjoy watch the elephants being fed and bathing in the river.<br />

Did you know the best gems in the world can be found in Sri Lanka? Remember Princess Diana's Sapphire engagement ring from Prince Charles? Yes, it's Sri Lankan Sapphire. Sri Lanka is the Sapphire capital of the world.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IMp6pqK0huw/Vz8vAQk-ulI/AAAAAAAAJSg/k7HKs2a53rg9OQLLdnjOP3Ov4JYzhWLrgCLcB/s1600/zzz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IMp6pqK0huw/Vz8vAQk-ulI/AAAAAAAAJSg/k7HKs2a53rg9OQLLdnjOP3Ov4JYzhWLrgCLcB/s400/zzz.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
If you're looking for an exquisite piece of jewelry with precious or semi-precious gemstones. Sri Lanka offers the best quality of Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Topaz, Garnet, Quarts and many more. Even Marco Polo wrote this in his journal. Jewellers from around the world import their gemstones from Sri Lanka.<br />
<br />
During my visit to Sri Lanka, a lot of Asians and Europeans buy Sapphire from Sri Lanka to sell it in their home country. And the secret of buying it cheaper is do not bring your tour guide or driver with you when going to the Jewelry shop. Apparently they also get commission so the price goes up very, very high. I stayed at Mount Lavinia Hotel and there were a few jewelry shops in the resort, believe me, I got my earrings at 80% discount complete with certificate.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
So when in Sri Lanka, don't miss to visit the reliable jewelry shops like <a href="http://www.slgja.org/" target="_blank">Sri Lanka Gem and Jewellery Association</a>,<a href="http://www.zamgems.com/" target="_blank"> Zam Gems</a>, <span id="goog_178978467"></span><a href="http://www.voguejewellers.com/" target="_blank">Vogue Jewellers</a><span id="goog_178978468"></span>, <a href="http://www.cjs.lk/" target="_blank">Colombo Jewellery Store</a>. Even if you're not going to shop, it's just fun to look! 😜<br />

As guests starts to arrive, food and beverage was served. The store was packed with guests like bloggers, the media and a lot of famous Vietnamese celebrities also promoting the event but my incomprehension of Vietnam's show business, I'm totally oblivious. Though I had my photo taken with a Vietnamese singer, Phuong, who performed that night.<br />

A 15th century style castle located on an island in Lake Galvė, Lithuania. Trakai Island Castle was once a residence of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. The castle doesn't only exhibit the affluent history of Lithuania but is also a favorite venue for cultural events and conferences.<br />
<br />
Built in 3 phases, the construction of the stone castle began in the 14th century by order of Grand Duke Kęstutis. In 1377, the castle was attacked by the Teutonic Knights with Kęstutis defeated.<br />
<br />
The second phase, regarded as the major development in the history of the castle, started its construction in 1409. Two wings were added and a 6-storey keep was also built. The castle was adorned with glazed roof tiling, red Gothic bricks were utilized to build the walls and embellished the windows with stained-glass.<br />
<br />
The expansion of the castle in the early 15th century marked as a the third phase. The outer walls were expanded to a thickness of 2.5 metres. A main gatehouse was constructed and 3 major defensive towers were built.<br />
<br />
In the 17th century, the war against Muscovy created a massive destruction of the castle. But it was not until the 19th century where the reconstruction of the castle began.<br />
<br />
Today, Trakai Island Castle is one of the major tourist attractions in Lithuania.<br />

During my trip to Bali some years ago, I went to a local spice shop. Like a child in a candy store, I was very excited and at the same time, confused on what to buy. Long story short, I took a package of Black Chili, 50 grams of Turmeric Spice, a package of Cinnamon Sticks, 50 grams of Yellow Curry Spice and 20 grams of Saffron. At the cashier, I was quite shocked the bill ended up more than 100 USD. I thought I was being ripped off. It was not until recently I learned that Saffron, apparently, is the world's most expensive spice. I have been using it like crazy! I should have known then I wouldn't have used it like any other spice.<br />

For instance, if you are dreaming of having your own walk-in closet, you don't have to utilize a big area or even a room for it. And especially if you have a tiny place, make an awkward space in your room into an open closet wherein you can finally decorate your clothes, handbags, shoes and accessories.<br />
<br />
An enjoyable Do-It-Yourself activity and you don't have to spend a lot of money. You can even reuse old cabinets from the storage; recycle shabby furniture and paint them with rustic or vibrant colors; or simply purchase a cheap bookshelf from IKEA.<br />
<br />
Last year, I turned a dead space at our apartment in Saigon into a corner closet. And for about $100 US, I was able to conveniently display my favorite or most-used accessories, bags and shoes. Definitely an accessible and tidy way without digging through my whole closet.<br />
