Metal and Earth

To me, these are very chic, urban renditions of “safari” colors, which I don’t nearly have enough in my closet.

Fantasy Ear Jewel

This undersea world-theme ear piece is my new treasure. fantasy ear jewel pastel color

I can imagine if I am ever being coveteur’ed this will be the opening shot.

So perfectly crafted with all the pretty pastel colors. Each branch is topped off with a crystal, and totally defied the punk and dark stereotype of ear jewelry.

Thanks to the one who gifted such a special piece to me, who understands me the most, and tolerated all my fashion obsessions. xoxo

Scallop Hem Cuties

To me, scallop hem is the epitome of girly dressing - they make the outfit adorable but not in a cheesy way. I got this dress recently and have been waiting to wear it for Sunday brunch

On Victoria Beckham…

I have amassed a collection of tweed jackets, but not one with scallop hem and intricate pattern like this!

Never be shy to show your style from the back too

I have pink shorts with scallop hem just like this pair from JCrew

New Heights

Memorial Day is just one weekend away and it is time again for scooping up spring sales. I  found two pairs of shoes that will elevate any look to new heights.

Pour La Victoire Nasha Patent Leather Platform Sandals - in neon yellow just in time to usher in Summer.

The lightweight cork platform makes them relatively comfortable. They will create a strong visual impact with an all neutral ensemble, but can also blend into the explosion of florals this spring/summer.

Giuseppe Zanotti Snakeskin Point-Toe Wedge Boot - goes well with leggings and cigarette pants, and will always be in circulation starting pre-fall.

Mini No. 5

I received an invitation to have a personalized olfactive experience at Chanel beauty. It’s about experiencing Les Fleurs de Chanel - as all Chanel perfumes share the same floral note of May Rose.

They handed me a cute souvenir - a mini bottle of the legendary No. 5 parfum and ceramic charms that absorb the parfum so that I can hang in my closet.

This is what it means to be a mini…

The miniature glass bottle is super delicate. I also grabbed the limited edition Tiger Lily eyeshadow on my way out - a very pretty light orange with gold undertone.

Floral Silk Scarf

I scored this silk twill scarf from the outnet.com the other day — it is so pretty and I have been looking to add some orange to my inventory of accessories. We all know how it gets a tiny bit cold at times in spring and having a scarf at hand will exactly do the trick.

There are four sets of prints at each corner, so it is a versatile scarf that I can wear all the time without showing the same pattern everyday!

Mary Katrantzou for Longchamp

To brighten up my summer outfits, I got this fun and casual Mary Katrantzou for Longchamp bag today - it will be so perfect for quick coffee runs, sunday brunch or strolling in Central Park. I think the mad medley of colorful prints on the runway has swayed me from wearing all solids this season.

White Lace Dress for Spring/Summer

The inspiration: I think everyone still remembers this white lace dress by Dolce and Gabbana last summer that stole the heart of every girl:

It was crazy to see a single dress hit three major magazine covers at the same time. This season, the fever for white dresses continues, but there are many more affordable options.

1. Dolce Vita Valentina Dress (probably the closest thing to the original)

2. Zara appliques and lace trim dress

I, on the other hand, prefer having my own rendition over a copy of the D&G one, so I got this lace dress by a korean brand called “Girl is” (shown with one of my fascinators):

People who know me know that I basically live on lace, leather, chiffon, tweed and boucle. Lace in particular, I never seem to get enough of (see here, herehere and here) … I love the bell-shaped sleeves on this one, and will likely wear it to see the cherry blossoms at peak bloom!
