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! :-)
Dress & shirt: COS, shoes: Marni, necklace: DIY.
How many of you have to work tomorrow? If you are one of these unlucky few, don’t be sad coz you are not alone my friend. lol~~ I know this really sucks, but hey, at least we can organize a nice night out to celebrate. ;-D
Happy Chinese New Year! May the year of the rabbit be a happy, healthy and prosperous one for all of you!

It’s still cold outside but it’s never too early to start planning some Spring/Summer must haves, so I decided to start with my favorite brand: COS. At the first glance of their new season’s lookbook, I was very pleased to see all these neutral palettes, it seems to meet my needs quite well.
However, after viewing each look, only this gorgeous modern trench made my heart sing (you disappointed me, COS, but my wallet begins to love you, haha). I just can’t wait to try it on, if the fit is great and the material is nice, one of these beauties will have a happy new home.
BTW, don’t you agree that the styling of this look is…let’s say: tricky? I prefer the look without these socks. Trendy or not, I’d never go out wearing them this way. ;-P
Since I am still in the mood for Paris, it’s the perfect time to pay tribute to one of the most stylish Parisian: Emmanuelle Alt. Known for her rock ’n’ roll style – big-shouldered jackets, skinny jeans and killer heels. Alt is the very definition of tough yet sophisticated chic.
Frankly, being a very ordinary and uncool gal, I can’t see myself pulling off something this edgy (I do can imagine how awkward I’ll look then, rofl). However, this doesn’t bother me to admire her sense of style, she found something works for her and make it her own signature.
Everybody wants to look as cool as her, but no one embodies edgy rock style with an attitude like her. So maybe the best advice from the new editor in chief of Vogue Paris is: get inspired but find you own style. ;-P We all know there is only one Emmanuelle Alt, but there is only one of you & me as well…
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:
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!

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!
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
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! :-)
