ah so pretty

I was going thru my folders of images, and saw this! I don't remember where I saved it from...but it's just gorgeous! The idea of juxtaposing feminine couture over a rustic backdrop is so enduring. I'd love to style an event in this setting!!

a glimpse into...

These photos capture the most personal glimpse of peoples' homes. Revealing so much details about the inhabitants' interests, style, and personality. (i love the way books can be stacked so differently!) Images from_talented photographer Johnny Miller.

favorite outfit of the week

yiay! Another favorite outfit of mine that id love to share! I am loving my eco-friendly fabric tote by Cath Kidston. It's perfect for a day out grocery shopping. I bring with me_lamby coin pouch, isn't lamby SOOO cute!? White drappy jacket (bought in Taipei) Cream tee from Madewell. Shorts from Abercrombie Kids, Beige Bensimon sneakers, and my string bracelets from Albeit Jewelry!

veggie noodles in 10

My favorite 10 minute meal. While boiling water for my whole wheat noodles, I slice and dice my veggies. (trumpet mushrooms, baby carrots, broccoli, and green onions) Then really quickly, i sauté the veggies with minced garlic and some chicken broth. Once, veggies are about done, I add hot water and the ready cooked noodles into the pan...and cook for another 2 minutes and voila. Sprinkle pepper and salt accordingly. Super yummy and healthy!!

my dark side

Usually, my favorite colors are white, beige, cream, oh..and did i say white? :) But lately, i've been loving this black and gold combo!! Or maybe i've just staring at the Hermes Constance bag too much. 1. gold flateware 2. hermes constance bag 3. hermes meteor bracelet 4. teacup candle 5. jimmy choo pumps 6. marc jacobs top top top 7. antique books 8. chanel lipstick 9. moroccan cups 10. bourgie kartell lamp

hearting over trunks...

I've been hearting Jack Russel Malletier's line of trunks and trollies for a while now. I love the clean lines and the simplicity of this classic look. Would love to buy the 64cm and 84cm trunks in their white coated canvas with the tan leather trim! (but of course, if I can even afford _ GOYARD trunks would be my ultimate dream! (hence "dream"))

my DIY party decor

I am crossing my fingers and hoping that I will win the DIY PARTY competition hosted by Bliss and Urban Scarlet. The theme that i created was using stuff you already have at home. I've collected a couple of my favorite framed art, glassware, and ceramic ware (tea pot, mug, pitcher). Then I made a doily garland, chopstick ribbon/doily flags, tissue pom poms, and a real easy name tag for the table. I spent less than 15 bucks buying: doilies, ribbons, tissue paper, tassel and fresh flowers! I had uber fun doing this_makes me wanna go into this event/styling industry!!!

circus circus

I've been dying to watch "Water for Elephants" and i must say after seeing it finally... I wasn't disappointed AT ALL! I love the set design and the wonderful way the movie transported me to a different era. The costumes and animals were magnificent, especially Rosie (elephant). I've always adore vintage carnival/circus graphics. There is something very enchanting about the busy typeface and imageries all juxtapose together. I love it! (images google images)

zzzzz.....

Mila is the happiest sleeping baby in the world. Mommy_Adele Enersen creates dream worlds around her sleeping baby and captures them in film. Her dreams are created from clothing, towels, props. Mila might be riding elephants or hanging from a clothes line or whatever else her imaginative mother thinks of! Are these the CUTEST or what!! This has totally inspired me to be more and creative!!
