Spring is finally here! Doesn’t this lovely hand dyed silk dress look like a degrade tulip?


Spring Outfit (5): Degrade Tulip
Spring Outfit (4): Downtown Tiger
I’m not that kind of girl who likes to wear ultra sexy and wild outfit, but I do love animal print. So pairing this tiger silk top with a light gray knit coat and my old washed jeans shorts to make the tiger less loud.
Hmm… I’ll probably leave the belt inside the coat when wearing this outfit – for a more causal and effortless vibe.

Style Inspiration: Clémence Poésy
“Life’s way too beautiful and fascinating to spend time on fashion rules”.
Clémence Poésy, a beautiful young French actress who is famed for her understated and artfully insouciant style. I simply adore how natural and breezy she looks, always with barely any make up and seems so carefree…

Spring Outfit (3): Powder Shades
I’d like to continue playing with warm earth tones since there is no sign of Spring. The weather here really sucks, can you believe we had a snowfall again?! Anyway, pair them with bright oranges and a hint of red this time. It’s interesting how the soft powder shades then become vibrant, elaborate and even warmer. The whole outfit seems to have a bit more of sensibility too.
Wish you all a happy weekend!

Spring Outfit (2): Terra Cotta
I love the feeling of wearing earth tones in chilly March: warm, calm and relaxed…

Carré Story – Regarde Paris
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!



Spring Outfit (1): Sunset Gray
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?

Happy Chinese New Year
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.

S/S2010 Trends I love (4): Print on Print
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?
