Spring Festival - Red & Gold

2015 is the Year of Ram according to Chinese Zodiac. With the Wood element, 2015 is expected to be peace loving and smooth. With all the chaoses happening in 2014, let’s hope everything will eventually find its equilibrium in the new year. 



Victoria Beckham - Cutout crepe dress
The sleek cutout design at eh shoulder makes this dress one-of-a-kind. The silk and wool-blend crepe is lined for a smooth fit. 



Lanvin - Wrap-effect gown
The red hue is royal-like. The silk texture allows this gown to drape beautifully. You can do your hair in a glamorous side wave or into a high pony tail.

Beloved Oscar Dresses

Another Oscar night is approaching. Are you ready for the red carpet glamours?
The Academy Awards or The Oscars is one of the most well-known awards in the film industry. Since 1929, people from more than 200 countries have been trending this oldest entertainment awards ceremony. 


The red carpet is my favourite part of the ceremony as I gaze fabulous dresses making their own statements. By scanning through almost 90 dresses wore by the Best Actresses, some of these dresses are simply stunning even for nowadays!

Red Lips in 2015

Lipstick is the No. 1 item in every woman’s purse.

When I was young, I would often sneak into the master bedroom, carefully pull open the first drawer of my mother’s dresser and twist her lipstick tubes one by one to see the pretty colours. At that time, It was not acceptable for teenage girls wearing lipstick in China.

After the first lipstick was introduced in 1915 by Maurice Levy, ladies started to enjoy their ever-changing lip colours since. Dark red was one of the most popular shades throughout. 

Lipstick was worn around the lips to form a "Cupid's bow," inspired by actress Clara Bow in 1920s. 

By the 1950s, movie actresses Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor helped bring back dark red lips.

2014游记:意大利 - 陶尔米纳

每段旅途总会遗留些许遗憾,为的只是下一次回首驻足。仿佛预见了今年的旅途,去年的无可奈何另我们取消了意大利除了罗马的所有行程。今年的意大利,风情万种,岁月沧桑。



国人对于西西里岛的认知,基本来自于从电影《西西里岛的美丽传说》(Malèna) 和《教父》(The Godfather) 汲取的星星点点线索交织而成。
