Royal Hatter in Royal wedding

Beautiful hat pieces are tradition in UK, and this time, the world sees them. For a simple wardrobe, a great choice of head pieces can be a focal point to the face, and prolong the proportion for the whole body. 
Thanks for various hat designers and who took all these pictures to share.

<<aren't they just cute?!!!

Work in-Progress...sssh

Just when I'm thinking, 'I'm not doing enough "creating", one of my good friends inspires me.

anyone can have good days and bad days, and she's the one who saved me from bad days, and continually bless me through my good days.  I hope this is the time that I can use my ART work to light through her bad days.

'if you ask me how I feel, I will tell you, "good days, I'm fine; bad days, I'm fine too."'  I guess it only matters if true friends are around.

Tune UP your Horoscopes!

Unlike the usual 'monthly' or 'weekly horoscopes', [boring!], this is supposed to be a 'monthly' as well, through songs, of course, BUT I found it more suits for individual personality/characteristic.  tune me up to see myself in lyrics.

Happy Mother's day! Sergio Rossi Gold Button Sandal to Rock her world

mom is my fashion muse.

she's also a hard working woman[which mom doesn't!]  no matter what, she still gets up early in the morning, putting on lipstick and moderate cosmo, her own fashion sense of beautiful clothes, with a pair of beautiful high heel shoes. 
and Do I tell you, when H&M or forever XXI is no where to find, my mom's generation usually makes their own clothes?!!!  so basically they're like craftmen/tailors such as Chanel herself, in Europe?!!!!!

'the way you dress just...different, of course, in a good way! just people here don't dress like this,' said, an European gentleman spotted me the other day and now becomes my 'grabbing a cup of tea' buddy.
'It's my mom,' my European style of mom.

Brewery Artwalk, LA

it's not just an ordinary gallery type of artwalk.  this one is more toward 'buyer & seller' exh. from my point of view.  Different quality of artist from wide range of art forms, filming, multi-media, painters, jewelry designers...etc.  It is a great place to dig out potential artists and develop with them for high street art revolution.

from Lumi Co.

a former marine, done lots of things but now an artist

this is one of my favorites, lots 'Big' toy type of display art, made from recycle parts

this is one of them right@entrance garden

then, I spot this used to be an 'internet sensation' pic, a cell phone tower.

the ART of Food

I got this receipt from a good friend, Kuei, who always makes me these yummy dishes while my visiting.  It's a very easy dish to make and Luckily, my hubby loves it.

Wall paper is NO More grandma

 

if you like the 'Bling', this will certainly ROCK your wall! 

I can never forget the moment I encountered my very 1st 'name-brand' wall...once I was following my interior designer's foot step into her gorgeous 3 floors condo, and Boom!  the stair case going up to 2nd floor has this beautiful bronze Gucci wall paper, hitting right on my face!  Have you thought to put your or your girlfriend's name brand bag pattern on the wall!!???  no way!  it is crazy But it gives a huge Impact for a small space, in a way that you'll never think a monogram would work so amazing.

Call me grandma but wallpaper is a hit in UK, and Europe right now.  Try it[ a small/ugly space won't hurt anything anyway...] and ready to AWE.

Romantic Boho

A silk blouse mix with boyfriend pants, pair a bootie, and a statement metal bangle turns a romantic era to a moden woman.  Also, you can turn it into boho chic by adding a long jean skirt like the one in H&M.

blouse: studio M
pants: American Eagle
shoes: f, Japan

"Perfume is a finishing touch of a dress"--Christian Dior

I use my nose and camera to memorize every moment of my life, and finally I find myself not that odd any more...

ok, I know, it may sound odd, but I sniff everything, I mean, LITERALLY. 
yesterday, a man caught me sniffing a beautiful pink-champagne Tye dye rose while walking my dog. 'How does it smell?' he asked without the connection of the world.  Do you know the smell of rain, the 1st snow...funny thing is, I do it so unconsciously.

Making of de Miss Chérie Dior

Lately, I have chance to work behind the scene, and am ready to dig in more!! 
Then, more and more details that people don't know , are revealed to me...now I'm totally in love with Sofia Coppola, and French style cue, light, cheering, elegant, sexy but not too girly.

HERE is  some peak for you~  BTW, the music totally picks me up over blue days^^  hope everyone has a beautiful day, and don't get stuck in the studio.

the other day, while walking with my gal in the mall, enjoying the sunshine, something caught my attention...I love the big HK head portrait outside of Sephora window--elegant tone of pink, not so girly& eye catching.

Designer LIGHT Bulb

more and more Retailers use ART perspectives to create better consumer experience.  even light bulb is marching to its new era.  it not only looks pretty/alienish[or I rather say it looks more like ART DECO pattern] but claims to save more than 80% of energy.  Who says art can be expensive!
