Some readers of this blog would like to see an outfit paired with the reversible belt (the Rubis side), I finally managed to snap a picture on Sunday and hope it is not too late. ;-)
To be honest, I wasn’t really a fan of the color Rubis at the begining coz I prefer true red like Rouge Garance. However, after trying it in person, I changed my mind. Rubis is not a classic red, but a rich and interesting rasberry red with a fresh touch, especially in Epsom and Swift leather. It can light up a neutral ensemble easily, also goes amazingly well with earth tone, navy and even soft pink and pale sky blue.

After two busy and hectic days, I need something to calm my nerves. Easy listening blues from Tom Waits helps, wearing a cozy sweater dress in quiet navy makes me feel relaxed as well… What’s your way to wind down after a long day?
Enjoy your weekend everyone! :-)

I am not really that kind of person who makes resolutions every year coz I know I’ll probably end up sticking to none of them. ;-P However, for 2011, I do like to write down some style resolutions that I want to keep. My goal is to build a perfectly balanced wardrobe filled with only my favorites, so the plan is to:
- Invest in classics.
- Understand needs vs. wants: to avoid impulse or regrettable buys.
- Focus on neutral staples: I need more neutrals to complement my already colorful wardrobe.
- Be true to myself: buy clothes that only march to my own beat, instead of being seduced by trends & sales.
Ok, I guess that’s pretty enough. 2011 has just started but I’ve already returned three of my impulse sale purchases. What I am keeping are things I truly love and need: two white shirts, a navy skirt and a stone gray trench coat. You see, making resolutions is a good thing. It worked even for me, at least for now. lol!
We are leaving for Paris next week, I’ll keep you posted whether my plan still works in the city of light. ;-) So until my next post, stay happy and chic!

It’s finally getting warmer, the snow has been melting the past few days. Usually I don’t like this kind of weather because it is muddy, wet and dirty everywhere. But now it doesn’t bother me any more, thanks to my rainboots~~ ;-)
Have a great start of the week everyone!

It’s snowing outside! I feel lucky to have listened to the weather forecast this morning and decided to wear something warm yet playful. :-)
Before going out, I also grabbed a shawl, threw on a vest plus a dark grey wool coat (not shown here). It’s Friday again, happy weekend everyone!

Red made a big come back this Fall/Winter, a tone of designers revisited this classic hue. From Dolce & Gabbana to Givenchy, from Zac Posen to Yigal Azrouel, the passionate scarlet graced everyone.
Being a fan of color, I’ve always loved red, but I never liked the idea of wearing red from head-to-toe. It is just too loud for my taste. How about you? ;-)
