I adore the smell of purple hyacinths, it perfumes the air so naturally…
Teaming them with tulips in tender baby pink. It is still frosty cold outside, but I do feel Spring in the air, at least at home. ;-P

Spring is still not here, but according to the weather forecast, the temperature will climb to above zero tomorrow. Well, at least this is good news coz I am so tired of winter clothing.
Looking forward to wear lightweight coats, jackets and dresses. :-D BTW, I just love the styling of this editorial!

Ten days ago, there were two blossoms and two buds…
Today, four lilies in their full glory. Have a blooming week! ;-)
Tulips on Snow
February 18, 2011 – 11:28 am
The winter is back. I hate freezing wind and muddy street, but I adore the snow. It makes everything so pure and serene, even the most bold two tone tulips…
Happy weekend everyone! :-D
The Smart & the Pretty
February 10, 2011 – 10:10 am
What accessories you can live without? In my case, earrings are not my must-haves (haven’t been wearing them for years). I know, shame on me because I got my ears pierced when I was nine. ;-P Instead I have a weakness for beautifully made belts.
The pretty vernice bow waist belt is something I had my eyes on since last year, I like the fact that it can wonderfully turn a plain outfit into something special, feminine but not girly.
Having made a resolution to buy more classics, I consider another smart reversible belt justified. ;-) It complements my other belts perfectly coz each of them is unique in its own way. The two reversible belts are in Iris (Swift)/Rubis (Epsom) and Gold (Togo)/Black (Box) while the Rafale is in Etoupe (Clémence). It’s nice to have three belts in five different colors and leather types, enough to mix & match with different outfits.
Roman Holiday
January 4, 2011 – 10:20 am
The last time I was in Rome, like every visitor to the eternal city, I threw a coin into the Trevi Fountain to wish a return. This time we did the same thing, because Rome is:
The city of angle…
The city of glory and dream…
The city for believer…
The city of legend and myth…
The city for seeking the truth…
The city of history and heritage…
The city of art…
The city of endless sunshine…
And last but not least, the city of that magic fountain. Till next time…the one and only: ROMA!
Season’s Greetings
December 25, 2010 – 2:23 pm
First of all, I am sorry that I haven’t updated my blog for a while. December is crazy busy for me, gift shopping, X-mas parties, friends gathering plus a trip to Rome… but thank God everything has been settled and we are back home again. Now it’s time to sit down and enjoy the holidays, so I just wanted to wish you all:
A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year! :-D
Happy Advent Sunday
December 5, 2010 – 1:27 pm
Today is the second Advent Sunday, time to light the second candle on the wreath. I didn’t have time to snap a photo on the first Advent, but finally managed to take a few today. Hope it is not too late, huhu~~
Another view of our wreath. I wish you all a joyful second Advent! :-)
Holiday Gift Ideas
November 30, 2010 – 10:09 am
The holiday season is just around the corner, have you started buying gifts already? There is nothing on my wish list right now (is it a good thing or a bad thing? Bad for me but good for my hubby for sure. lol). Anyway, if you already have a long list, do share. As you see, I really need inspirations. ;-) Instead, I found a few little things that might be nice for family and friends.
- A cute cat. It is actually a purse hook from Alessi, looks fabulous and works like charm (click hier to have a look).
- A little bottle from the Hermessence collection is always good. I got my favourite scents from a wonderful friend last month: Rose Ikebana and Osmanthe Yunnan. I’d like to buy these two along with the Vétiver Tonka and the new Iris Ukiyoé to surprise others for Christmas.
Finally, A Pair of Rain Boots!
November 22, 2010 – 10:34 am
I have been searching for a perfect pair of rain boots for ages. Being picky in terms of shoes, it wasn’t an easy job. I wanted something logo-less and understated (so no Burberry for me); something lightweight and not that tough (so no Hunter, Loeffler Randall & co); something less flashy and less childish (so no colourful boots from Emilio Pucci, Missoni, Marc by MJ, etc); and most importantly, this pair of boots have to go well with my wardrobe and make me feel good even when it is pouring, lol~~
Can you imagine how my heart leaps when I came across this pair from Via Lactea?
To be honest, I’ve never heard of this brand before, but I just can’t be more happy with these boots. They are exactly what I’d wished for: understated chic with great craftsmanship.♥ For the first time of my life, I am hoping for a raining day. ;-P
