Back in December as I was writing about the carre “Noel au 24 Faubourg”, I also listed my grail scarves. “Regarde Paris” is one of them, designed by Bali Barret in 2006.

What makes my heart beat faster while gazing at this carre is the black and white pencil scratch. It brings back my childhood memories, the days I enjoyed painting so much and spent hours sharpening pencils and drawing pictures… The fact that I finally found it in Paris makes this carre more special for me.
The pop of fresh mint color is just perfect for the Spring!



Finally we had a Sunday full of sunshine!
However, just when I was dreaming of spring, it surprised me again with a white garden this morning. Oh, how I wish I could wear something like this today?

Anyone else getting tired of winter and looking forward to spring? These fabulous ads just put a smile on my face and drive the winter cold away. Not to mention the priceless childhood memories behind: the little Mermaid, Aladdin’s genie, Cinderella…
Karlie Kloss by Paolo Roversi, enjoy!
Yesterday was the start of the Chinese new year. I wish all my dear friends a happy, healthy and successful year of tiger! I hope all of us have the determination and bravery of the tiger in facing all the ups and downs in 2010.

My mom used to give me new clothes from head to toe to kick off the new year while I was a child. Now I am not a little girl anymore and don’t follow this tradition every year, but I always wear something red to celebrate.

Being a pattern lover, I always enjoy seeing runway shows with beautiful prints and patterns. It seems that many designers are getting tired of the traditional floral or tribal pattern this season and wanted something more playful and fresh.
The idea (print on print) itself is nothing new, it just all depends on how you put these prints together: floral with stripes, tribal with tie-dye or polka dots with abstract petals… Are you gonna give this trend a try in summer?

Is what you wear a reflection of the mood you are in? Sometimes I feel less is more and want to go for something a little bit more edgy…

but I just can’t pretend to be cool. Coz all I want is to be true to myself…
I don’t have tons of neutrals in my wardrobe because, as you might have noticed, I love colors.
But I always admire those who wear neutrals in an unexpected beautiful way.
It’s easy to match blacks, whites, beiges and grays, but how to make them more personal and interesting is not as simple as just putting them together, agree? Please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas~~

A friend asked me if I’ve got any souvenirs in Paris. To be honest, I am not a big fan of these typical souvenirs sold at every corner. So no, I didn’t buy anything.
Last winter while we were in Paris, I found this lovely cocktail ring at a supermarket and really loved it. So it came home with me.

This time I happened to get myself another ring. It wasn’t planed but just a coincidence, maybe rings are my lucky souvenirs in Paris?

This is our fourth trip to Paris, we’ve chosen to stay in different hotels at different districts each time and try to discover the charm of Paris from varied angles. This time, we decided to explore the city at night because Paris is one of the best cities in the world to wander around at night with a camera.
It was cold, but less crowded;
It was dark, but less noisy;
It was such a pleasant experience…


Just can’t wait to visit Paris again this Summer!
