CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle NEW AD2011

I love the image this AD campaign puts out--an independent woman who has her mind of everything which admires me a lot as well as Ms. Chanel's intention for every woman out there, be comfortable of your skin/of what you wear, of what you do, of what you love..

Wink! Wink! L@@k here!

NOTHING speaks louder than this one.  Kirk originals opens a flagship in London lately for its eyewear.  Different Depth of GREY tones reflects 'eyes of attention' and creates 'is she looking @me?' illusion.  Certainly, it is hard not to stop when passing by...

boring Logistic =>LOVE Logistic

in the marketing/advertising industry, I haven't seen westerner use "cute, little, warming 'heart'" elsewhere but in product design.  Compare with Japanese marketing, you'll see popping colors, cute characters everywhere, as long as the product or AD catches your eyes and pull out $ w/o conscious; which mean, they succeed its purpose. 

Till recently, I was watching UPS commercial[yes, I enjoying finding good ones/treasures which most people find the habit wasting time], 'we love logistic'.  who can be this genius to co-op the 'forbiden' heart-shape sign in this brilliant way.  it's nothing only catchy but welcoming for audience to accept its concept&value.

Living ART- I'm NOT...

   my girlfriend is chuckling cross the table, while I am drinking a cup of home-made coffee. 

'I thought it's a paper cup, but it's glowing and I realize it's a ceramic cup!'

it is genius about design.  it's everywhere in our daily life. 

I remember first time falling in love with 'I'm not a paper cup' is when Taiwan mandates recycling like in Japan.  everyone starts to bring her/his own shopping bags/cups/even chopsticks to shops, diners or cafes.    and I love the look of 'I bought a cup of coffee from starbucks', which may sound silly[but actually later on lots of fashion designers go for the look, like D*Square] 

it may sound vein but hey, I'm saving trees& $ every cup of coffee that I'm drinking.  what can be more easily to participate 'save the planet' than this!

when seeing the disaster, we, 1st, put down the food/donation to save the people but do we really think of these dogs, in the back of our head...who also need your care& attention.  They can't talk in human language but they work so hard for us no matter what.  I know I didn't but NOW, I will spread out my love to them as well.

The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 Trailer (Goran Hugo Olsson)

Reason this caught my eyes is not only the topic itself is controversial but the way that  the filmmaker combines  monochromatic pieces with color films together along with simple typo, is so  intense but calming which puts the audience right at the spot.

Love ROBOT

I'm a devoted lover of old radio&clock and then I met the BUCK who is 'obcessed with Hollywood scandals and eats hard-boiled eggs  like they're going out of style.'  what can be more lovable than ECO-ART, something memorable, something understandable, something sustainable?

Obsess! for a good Invitation! Only 2 mins!

it's a creative invitation as an attachment, from one of my good friends, who recently received.  I think it's a great idea to attach a little dish-prep video that you're going to host as part of invitation before the guests coming to the party.  So your guests can be in the mood all the way to the party.

Today'S Closet: Haute RubberBAND

Tux, capri, cropped, Harem pants, are all here!  I love to use rubber band[yes, those you wear on ur wrist as bracelets] to achieve the look, from straight leg to the fashionista.  put a large size rubber band over ur pant leg, and start to roll up&hide the band inside.  no matter how you fold, loose, 3D, or neat, you'll get a lot of compliments without spend another $$$.

I saw Jesus today

'I saw Jesus today.'

'WHAT!!'
for a moment, my mind is like, 'finally! there is a MIRACLE happening in LA!!'
'tell me more, tell me more!' I breath with excitement.
'I saw Jesus today, @ Union station,' my hubby calmly repeated, 'he has this white robe, long hair...actually, 4 police officers surrounded him...'
'WHAT! so it's like in the scripture!' I am amazed how this goes.
'yeah, the police ask if they can take photos together.'
