Inspired looks from a Disney princess - Ariel

Ariel is a mermaid who first appeared in the Little Mermaid, which is based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” fairy tale. Her distinct appearance consists of long, flowing red hair, a green tail, and a lavender seashell bikini top.

Since I was a little girl, I will listen to “The Little Mermaid” from my walk-man (which my mum bought for my violin practice) to sleep. Before seeing Disney’s animation version, I imagined the mermaid is always in vivid sea colors.

Christmas Glam

I anticipate four Christmas collections each year: Chanel, Dior, Shu Uemura and Bobbi Brown. For 2013, I need a nice holiday polish. It has to be warm, sensual and glamourous. 

Chanel 2013 - Nuit Infinie de CHANEL

Nail - 677 Rouge Rubis: CHANEL's great at introducing red nail polishes, warm, rich and direct

Although I’m only focusing on nail polish this year, the eyeshadow palette (Ombres Matelassees de CHANEL - charming) is perfect for smoky eyes this year. It contains five shades: beige, bronze, violet, plum ... for endless combinations.

Recipes to try for December

Gourmet Grilled Cheese

1. Spread 1 tsp honey an a slice of multi-grain bread. Top with 1/4 cup grated aged cheddar, thinly sliced red onion and apply. Top with another 1/4 cup grated cheddar, then sandwich with another bread slice. Brush top and bottom with 1 tbsp melted butter. 
2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Cook, flipping halfway through, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted (6 min)

Pair this with a easily made parsley salad and a local Riesling (i.e. Inniskillin Late Autumn Riesling, Ontario)

Hint: try a different kinds of fruit / vegetable every time
